There are gravedigs and then there are gravedigs...

MILFs in Carthage Pact Preamble: Carthago and Man I love Frogs(hereby referred to as MILF) having spent years ensconced in a tight romance, hereby announce the signing of a Mutual Defense and optional Aggression Pact. Article I: Peace The signatories agree to refrain from any act of aggression towards one another, they agree to meet often, exchange frog pictures, elephant paraphernalia, and bother Daveth together. Article II: Intelligence The signatories agree to share any pertinent intelligence. Intelligence that threatens the security, well-being, or reputation of either signatory is pertinent. Article III: Aid The signatories are encouraged to seek mutually beneficial economic relations with one another and to encourage trading between nations of either signatory. Article IV: Defense An act of war upon one signatory is considered an act of war on both signatories. Each signatory reserves the right to counter any aggressive action taken against the other. Mandatory Defense is none chaining. Optional Defense is whatever you say it is. That’s the meta. MILF and Carthago are best buds though so I probably wouldn’t test it. Article V – “Optional” Aggression In the event that a signatory requires assistance in an aggressive war against a third party, signatories are strongly encouraged but not obligated to assist the other by means of financial or military support. If MILF refuses to enter an aggressive war they will make an elephant drawing for Carthago. If Carthago refuses to enter an aggressive war they will make a frog drawing for MILF. Article VI – Cancellation If either signatory feels that this treaty has been unjustly violated and resulting diplomatic negotiations have not offered an acceptable resolution, notification of withdrawal must be given to the remaining signatory within seventy-two hours. Should this treaty be voided, a forty-eight-hour cool-down period begins in which neither alliance may declare war on the other. tldr: milf and cto signed an m level

Hey, I'm Aaron JT but you can call me Aaron for short. I am not new to P&W but I am new to the forums. I joined P&W because I was very fascinated in having my own nation, with its set of laws and history. My goal is to prosper in my alliance by becoming cabinet and to make it better step by step. I am currently a Deputy Minister in Domestic Affairs, I'm also a part of Bureau of Technology and finally an embassy in United Purple Nations and Yorkshire. A little bit more about me, I'm currently in college and my major is in Business Administration. I'm a huge numbers guy and I have a coin collection. I'm also in a job and has been working since March. I hope that I will make memories in the forums and to establish myself as a person. My discord is Aaron the UFO if you want to stay in touch.

and the undisputed dyslexic of the year award goes to.....

With the occasional gravedigging causing quite the headache, it would be nice if the forums posted an additional warning message when a user is about to reply to a post more than a year old (or the last message was sent more than a year ago). Something like "Are you sure? This post was made over a year ago. Please see our forum rules for more information." Not sure if this is a feature the forum even has, but thought it would be worth throwing this idea out here.

Thank you for being relatively quick with this, Alex. ❤️ Now... turning to discussions about an improved system in general. I may or may not have spent quite a bit of time coming up with a stupid equation (that still needs to be tweaked, but can be a starter) that disincentives blocs from having low or high nation count and/or average DNR. Bonus = -1(x - x bar)^2 - 150((y - y bar) / 1,000,000)^2 + 125,000 where x is number of nations on the bloc, x bar is the average number of nations (sum of all nations on blocs excluding beige and gray divided by number of blocs), y is the bloc's average DNR, and y bar is the average average DNR (sum of all average DNRs of blocs excluding beige and gray divided by number of blocs). Here's what this equation would look like in practice (and you may see why I say it may need tweaking): Now... allow me to also explain what changes to the different numbers in the equation will do: Changing the -1 at the start will change how much blocs are penalized for straying from the average number of nations on either side. It should remain negative, but the larger the negative number, the more steep the penalty. Same goes for the -150, but for variance from the average average DNR. 125,000 is the proposed cap (yes, this model is still capped) and can only truly be achieved if the bloc is exactly average.

Investor Contact: Keram Media Contact: Tarroc Peace has been declared between all parties in the current war, effective this day change: 1: There will be a 3.5 month blanket NAP between all parties, to conclude on the day change from May 17th into May 18th. This also extends the NAP between the members of WELP and the members of ODOO. 2: All current wars will be peaced out. All alliances will make an announcement that everybody needs to click the 'peace' button. 3: Raiding is allowed below C10. Raiders may still be countered.

Intro When it comes to Politics and War, the height of the game is during global wars when alliances/spheres fight each other. However during peace, the game is essentially dead outside of logging in once a day. Why is it like that? Well it comes down to the lack of content to encourage players to keep playing, a lack of a centralized community outside of player ran servers, and potentially pay to win content as well. Lack of Content Outside of trading or wasting your money on keno, there isn't really anything you can do. This is not good for player retention because the further you go down the game, the less content there is for you to enjoy. Remember being a new player and raiding inactive nations for a ton of money? I bet it was a lot of fun (until you realize that it was also shit). But now that you're city 30, there probably isn't much for you to do outside the community/discord side of the game which I will get into later. But I would argue that the lack of content hurts the retention rate of the player base and makes it contingent on the community or their alliance. What Alex needs to do is add more content that gives players a reason to be more active in the game and reward them for it. Perhaps even content focused around alliance members working together. The Community Let's be real here. Outside of player ran discords, there isn't really a centralized community outside the quarterly events the game hosts on the official server. The forums used to be the main stage of the general community. But ever since discord became main stream, The forums have become a rotten corpse outside of Alliance Affairs and the occasional shit post. And while people are still trying to revive the forums (Ahem Roberts), the biggest change with the forums being dead outside of discussion is the decentralization of Politics and War's community. The PNW discord has the potential to be the main hub of all that goes on in PNW, but a lack of management and no real drive to make it good is the reason why it's a mummified corpse with only new players active on it. This is how servers like DNN, RON, OCN, and other player ran servers have become so popular as of the past few years. And while player ran servers can be a good thing for the community, there's always will be bias and different atmospheres that not everyone will enjoy. So if the forums is doomed to die, then at least try to fix the official PNW server. Fix the moderation. Give players a reason to be active in the server by either hosting game nights and other events or running news segments. Then bring in prominent players or alliances to make it active again. Keep Credits Out While Alex may be inspired by my post to add more content for the game, so that players have something to do during peace time. It needs to be brought up that any future content should not have credits or any IRL financial involvement at all. While I understand Alex needs to pay the bills and be able to afford his daily Ramen, making any content P2W will ruin the whole reason for why the content is added. It should be activity and/or skilled based so that players actually earn what they worked for instead of getting it via their wallets. In Conclusion The game isn't as fun as it seems on paper. And new content to keep the players active in the game have been long overdue. There also needs to be a centralized community in the game and the PNW server is the perfect place for it. I'm making this post in hopes that Alex, Game Staff, and the player base make the push needed to make the game fun during peace.

You successfully gathered intelligence about The Kingdom of Silves. Your spies discovered that The Kingdom of Silves has 3 spies, $140,205.49, 660.26 coal, 1,557.79 oil, 70.80 uranium, 2,206.57 lead, 2,668.57 iron, 2,692.70 bauxite, 4,778.55 gasoline, 13,037.34 munitions, 5,309.94 steel, 17,759.33 aluminum, and 32,901.05 food.

Well it looks like you've bought 3 cities and 2 projects since receiving that, so that's probably where all your money went. For the love of all that is holy, stop posting all over the Forums for the smallest of things and take some agency upon yourself to figure it out first.

mama mia, a lot of MILFs (Man I Love Frogs)

I have just coded in on the test server an increase in the cap to $125,000 and an increase in the Beige bonus from $50,000 -> $85,000 that can go live anytime after at least a couple days of testing on the test server to make sure it works

we should have kept this. its much better than boilerplate. i hate elawyers 😭(cough @Canbeccough)

uhuh, we march forward!

I am very much agasint the nuke projects. We need changes to push the meta away from nuke turreting. Having every global war end up with 1 side nuke turreting after 1 round is just flat out boring. We shouldn't add things thats just going to encourage that more.

“I am extremely honored to be nominated by my colleagues alongside such remarkable high gov members in a year of so many great alliances. And I never thought I would be saying this, but I’m also incredibly honored and proud that it’s for meming so many alliances. But there is no Gular high gov without me, and there is no Gular without me. The most responsible for making Gular what it is historically, globally, celebrated alliance. No recognition would be possible for anyone in this alliance with my talent, grit, and genius. To say that I’m disappointed that I lost the nomination in this respective category would be an understatement. Against all odds with nothing but a couple flags, videos, and thankfully video editors, I made y’all laugh, broke your hearts, pushed the culture, and made history. My work should be recognized along with the other very deserving nominees. Having said that, I am so happy for Singularity and the other incredible high gov who contributed their talents to making this game so ground breaking.” - Darkblade “Low Gov” TL;DR this is a shit post don't take me seriously.

Don't threaten me with a good time. 😏

Whoever nominated and voted me for nicest player deserves a lobotomy with that in mind if I don't win nicest player you all are getting a mandatory lobotomy

I'm all for increasing it to $150,000.

Welcome to the PNW academy awards where half the nominations don't make sense.

Why is Sam Cooper in the first option twice?

There seriously needs to be a "None of the Above" option. A lot of these suck. (Now I need to find who nominated me for sexiest voice because that was a strange option to come across when looking at the picks)

Was my Dream to Establish an alliance For Our Muslim Brothers, Thanks You So Much HaxBaBa,Babur,Danial, Rasputin, for the Start And then our Most Favourite Anas,Omar,Adam,Rasheed,Sheikh,and Specially Wiglaf For Handling The FA 💗💗💗 Thanks You Guys for Making this Dream come true even inside the top 20

watch ur mouth

I feel like this has always been the case since 2006 CN. There either is stuff happening or you're waiting for stuff to happen. If you're lucky and smart, you might be able to make things happen but almost all of us are not in a position to really make impactful decisions. This is the core of why I advocate for democratic systems, open communication within alliances, transparency in governments, etc. People who have never been in a democratic alliance decry it as something that would destroy their way of life if they had the power to vote, or more realistically I think many people look at their fellow alliance members and think "god I don't want them voting"... As in life, I think people can take this a step further but usually don't: If I dislike my alliance community and distrust their ability to work together or towards my own goals, why am I still in this alliance? I think democracy would help establish a new meta of activity and competence internally within alliances whose governments are now forced to self-advocate. Would it be perfect? No. But it's a huge increase in the political content that most of us want from a nationsim. I will never give up on the forums I hate to tell you this but you're screaming into the void, and I think you know it. Village is gone, at least for the moment, and Alex has been AFK going on years now in regards to coding or development. We have no one to actually setup any of these lovely suggestions.

Where is Mu money?

I thought u guys have treaty with rose

I am actually against this in general. We shouldn't really be buffing the "loser" weapons, if anything we should be nerfing them. Perhaps a balance if this update is rolled out: You cannot build nukes or missiles while blockaded You cannot launch a nuke while another nation has air superiority over your nation Also, I think we should raise both the upkeep costs and construction costs of nukes. Right now, they're just lobbed at enemies when they're losing, which is both unrealistic and discouraging fighting even more. If an alliance is winning, they shouldn't be getting nuked off the face of the earth, it doesn't make sense. And, if these projects are created, I think we should be able to kill more nukes/missiles with spies.

So I have this idea... I am a very lucky individual. If you all gave me money to play keno with we could profit like never before! Last night I went from 15m to 360m playing keno. Send me trades! My nation is BlackWaterCorporation! 1-5m to enter, I start playing the keno at 50m! help I have an addiction. DONT GET YOUR HOPES UP I DONT HOLD THE MONEY ON ME!
