Its been a strange few last years and something as a player I long desired was a return of TCM Founding members as it was them that made TCM special and those are the very players that gave me a general interest in making TCM. Evernt and Chico are the reasons I have cared so much for maintaining TCM it is our community and as time progressed it has grown larger than any of us have ever thought it would. It is no longer just ours and it has become greater than the 3 of us. Hard to believe a bunch of teenagers and a meme would go so far that we are all adults now. Now aside from looking backwards with the return of Chico the third founder of TCM and some new gov additions from around orbis I am proud to say we are going into 2024 with new talent as well as new allies. To TCM and its Allies let's have another great year.

Nokia, brother, I've always supported you and I still continue to, but man this formatting lmao.

My poor eyes

This coloration and design will be the CB for the next war

there is a reason I do game design and not website design and its a good one lmao.

Cheers 🍻

I’m blind.

I feel I need to make an appointment with my eye doctor

The only improvement in TCM seems to be their newfound ability to use punctuations

Cheers Mate! 🥂

Btw, what happened to you flag cause the coal king is now the coal kaiser?

Much love to y’all. ❤️

This isn't really what the rule is for. He's not trying to get them to delete cities, he's just making the point that if they did delete cities they would no longer be in his war range. I think his statement there is that he's just going to keep attacking them, which isn't against the rules.

At the moment there is only one form of gambling within Politics and War: Keno. Keno has been shit since Elijah Mikaleson ruined it for everyone else, and while I'm glad to have it back in the game, the cap should be raised or removed since we can now clearly see that it can't be exploited like old Keno (at least I believe so) and it results in a net loss for most people, which is what gambling should aim to do. I can't imagine it'd be too difficult to copy a Blackjack or Slot Machine AI from open source games, and it'd add more for people to do during peace time besides log in once a week and comment on the forums about how the forums are dead. Not to mention that we literally had a second form of gambling that got removed along with Keno and it was called Dice. I don't remember what it was like because frankly no one played it since there was a $100k cap on how much you could bet but I think that it could make for a fun alternative if the cap was removed. You can argue that baseball is like gambling but baseball sucks and I'd rather do my coursework at that point. I'd argue this is more important than all of the war changes and would be implemented faster since the dev team wouldn't need to endlessly debate on whether the mechanic would favor whales too much or not. 1 upvote = 1 less city for some poor sap who got unlucky while gambling

Damn Olly is in a scandal. Tbh in like 5 years of playing with him I'd never have guessed. Bad olly 🤣🤣🤣

LOL lemme go buy from you 20 times and I can post your nation up xD

i gotta be honest, i ran out of steam trying to read the bullet points. SRD's recommendation to avoid toxicity and drama, is to avoid those people like the plague, because its always the same people that find themselves in these positions.

Fortnite player excitedly finds a SCAR (a powerful weapon in the game), only for their squad leader (representing Alan) to snatch it away every time, symbolizing the overbearing and unilateral decision-making described in the forum post. Another scene shows the same leader taking credit for every kill, while the rest of the squad struggles and gets frustrated, reflecting the poor teamwork and leadership issues faced by the author in the alliance with Black Skies. The caption could read: "When your squad leader thinks it's a solo game." This parallels the author's experience of working under a domineering and uncooperative leader.

They must be taught to fear. Breaking the News Coming back from a 2 year absence has been an interesting experience. In many ways, the game hasn’t changed much, many of the same old alliances still milling about long past their prime. But some things have, and a few of them not for the better. One of the more egregious alterations to the rules of engagement is the concept that “news reporters” can freely leak internal alliance communications without consequences. The idea that one can separate out their positions as members, government and leaders from their positions as “news reporters” is frankly ridiculous. Leaking is a hostile action. You are welcome to do it, but you should expect a hostile response. Some might say, well if you retaliate, if you target these people for their reports, are you not encouraging them to leak more? And that question itself reveals the farce that is “objectivity” or “neutrality” in news. Which brings me to Lysander. Calling Lysander a reporter would be generous. Lysander is the Buzzfeed of Orbis. More importantly he is a very sensitive boy. Express your distaste with his methods? Criticize RON? He’ll immediately throw out any pretence of being a reporter. Suddenly he’s happy to post the most menial logs to ghost ping your government, all because you criticised his methods. I let you go once Lysander when you were in IoM. I prioritised the big picture politics and allowed you to live. But this is how this shit continues to slide. Everyone expects the pragmatic move, the big picture shit. But hey, the game is boring and drama-free right now, and I'm petty af. I’m happy to come down and slum it with you for a bit. A String of Failures Lysander may be the cause of this rolling, but frankly House Stark, you have this shit coming. You promoted him. Why? Very good run so far. Got you dropped by Guardian, the alliance notorious for their loyalty and unwillingness to cut allies. Signed you Black Skies (oh we are hitting you too btw), a truly amazing path to entering the vibrant world of micro politics. Now he’s getting you rolled. He’s been FA head for what 10 minutes? All this after pushing ridiculous terms on alliances you can’t defeat on your own, not considering for a moment the same harsh standards could have been applied to you. You continue to make amazingly obtuse FA blunders one after the other. You are a 7 year old alliance, how have you not figured this shit out yet. Happy Anniversary. Get your shit together.

As the leader of Paradise, I, a former government member of the Maurya Empire, officially declare our state of hostile engagement with the Maurya Empire due to the following reasons: 1. The incompetent government of the Maurya Empire, which has failed to uphold the values of the alliance 2. The raci*t remarks made by the leader of the Maurya Empire, which only serve to further divide and alienate the members under their rule. 3. The Maurya Empire's blatant pay off of OCN to spread false information, 4. The outrageous and unacceptable act of Singularity's leader a Ally to Maurya empire. 5. The leader of the Maurya Empire has forced an alliance to disband.

Usually you declare wars before you post the DoW... or at all after posting a DoW, guess this is unique in that regard. Good job on the novelty

I am conflicted on which approach to take regarding this post, but just know that practically none of them are really supportive. Have a nice day/night/whatever-the-heck-wherever-you-are and enjoy probably getting rolled into oblivion ig.
