Last recorded log of fanatic cult leader, Thrax (self declared spaceman), to his personal journal: I fear my time has come. The Koolaid fountains have dried out, and our reserves are dangerously thin, almost empty. The people, my wangs, they have grown dissolutioned with my orders to limit Koolaid consumption. Already so many have abandoned ship but those who remain have become starved, the withdrawal symptoms have driven them to madness. Those who left, they called me a liar, a cheat and a false prophet. But those who are left thirst for the Koolaid. My sweet wangs, my followers, I fear they may soon come calling for the Koolaid pounding through my veins. With nothing to wash down the bagels, they become oh so thirsty... Very well. The time has come to feed my sweet wangs. Oh sacred Bocephus, first of his name, give me strength. I only wish ripper would sit upon my lap one more time before I go. One final time: I am become Koolaid, destroyer of Wacky-mallows. Peace. In case you didn't realise it, CoS is disbanding. We want to thank our friends Soup, Seven Kingdoms, The Knights Radiant and Sanreizan for a great time. We couldn't have asked for better allies. We also urge all the participants of the war to end things before there are any more casualties. CoS disbanding came as a direct consequence of this war and nobody should take war to the extremes of destroying a community. We wish all the best to those still fighting and hope you end this thing sooner rather than later. To the ex government members of AK, we thank you for fueling our alliance's existence purely through sheer will and spite to prove you wrong. It was most beneficial, now however since you're also gone our spite dried up. Guess that's the way the cookie crumbles. Cheers all! Tldr: despite our best efforts, CoS is no more.

Esteemed members of Orbis, It is an honour to announce on behalf of The Federation and Pantheon, that we recognise that hostilities have been made against our mutual ally, The Immortals, by foreign powers. I would like to present the following speech from a high government member of The Federation, Stanislaw Augustus. "The government wishes for everyone to be aware of the reasons why The Federation has decided to enter the world war and what we can expect from this conflict. Yesterday, our allies in The Immortals were attacked by Coalition B. This violates a non-aggression pact they themselves signed by two months. Although none are surprised by Coalition B’s capacity for violence and treachery, these acts further cement their place among the worst of Orbis’ reprobate. Where once before there may have been some slight hope of character we can now be certain that their words are literally worth less than the paper they are printed on. For over a year now, the alliances of Coalition B – mainly, New Pacific Order, Black Knights, and GOONS, have pursued a violent campaign against all of Orbis. Like many evil empires before them, theirs is an evil quest for world domination. Unlike their failed predecessors who have been discarded to the trash heap that is the history of Orbis, Coalition B has yet to be defeated. Indeed, it has become obvious that if Politics & War is to continue as a game the world must make a stand. United against our common enemy and in the universal desire for the common good of all, the Federation and her allies are resolved to take up arms against Coalition B. Our enemy is strong. Within their ranks are experienced fighters, advanced methods for communication and coordination, and the strength of numbers. But they are not without their weaknesses. Fighting for more than a year has strained their ability to finance and supply their offensives. Their leadership’s authoritarian and condescending approach to governing has uncovered division among their ranks. Although supplied by newcomers to the game, their base is inexperienced, relying on their officers to micro-manage most actions. Need we be reminded of our own strength? Since our failed merger in June, the Federation has grown almost 40 thousand in score, saved cash and resources, improved our internal operations, and strengthened and created new friends worldwide. Currently, we rank the fifteenth strongest alliance. The overwhelming majority of our members are experienced warriors who have at their disposal strong militaries, powerful economies, and a fraternal bond unmatched anywhere in the world. While we enjoyed the benefits of peace, the government has made significant improvements to the military and kept vigilant watch of our enemies. Any appraisal of the Federation would show us to be a formidable alliance ready to fight for justice. Our success and the success of our allies shall be entirely dependent on our resolve to this just cause. We must be prepared to endure hardship, and suffer losses. In return, we shall blockade their ports, level their cities, and inflict terror upon their people. Nuclear weapons, espionage, and unprecedented economic sanctions shall further devastate their empire. There is no price too high that cannot be paid when our lives and all those in Orbis are at stake – no violence so brutal that cannot be delivered upon this Babylonic beast. In conclusion, to Coalition B, our enemy: scorn and defiance, slight regard, and contempt. To the Federation and our allies: unity and strength, dedication, and fraternity in this most righteous cause. God Save the Federation and may God Save Orbis!" --Shadow Minister and Ambassador(FA), Stanislaw Augustus To those abroad and already in these devastating conflicts(GW14 & the new GW15), we salute you and indeed, we watched on the sidelines for too long. We rally to the cause you started, and hope that you guys may maintain resolve against this foe. For our alliances! And indeed, for Orbis! TL;DR - TF and Panth declare war on GOONS, NPO, BK and their affiliates.

Sphinx is playing the long game. Fakes a split with TKR He gets TKR to have a fake war with KETOGG to lull Orbis into a false sense of security Strategically leaks warplans to attack Chaos and KETOGG Gets BK into a war knowing that NPO won't be able to resist bailing their favorite bottom out Waits 7 months to tank BK and NPO PR Switches sides to complete the devious trap

Well I'm just glad that my baby from 2015 is getting attention and I can make my first shitpost in years. What better way to spend a Friday night than looking at logs. To be clear, I don't really give a shit about this game and you all know I have no love or super hatred towards BK so hopefully this post is fairly conclusive. I still run BK's forums and BKNet was 90% created by myself. The entire banking aspect as created by myself but I have not maintained the application since early 2017. Tiber and George have maintained and added to the application since. I can say with fairly certain confidence that George did in fact abuse BKNet to remove members from BK and had the help of an accomplice. Of course the database password for BKNet is stored in an environment file and George had access to that password. The password was not changed after George left BK. There are only three people that I am aware of that have had access to and that is myself, Tiber, and George. This is how George obtained the database password. BKNet does have the ability to remove members from the alliance. Through an Internal Affairs module that managed the upgrade training of the applicants, George and his accomplice removed members from the alliance. George used phpMyAdmin (which, why the hell did I not remove that program?) to delete the logs that track these kinds of things. It is clear that while George's accomplice removed the members from the alliance, George cleaned up the logs in the database. Fortunately, Apache keeps logs of every request and yes, I really did look through them. You can clearly see the GET and POST requests to the specific endpoints in the Internal Affairs module of BKNet by his accomplice to remove the members and the specific endpoints of phpMyAdmin utilized by George to modify the database. Why do I know this is George? Well, this is why I said "fairly certain confidence." The IP address involved in this attack matches the same location of all the IP address that George used to login to the BK forums. Additionally, the only way for someone to have access to the BKNet database is to have had access to the environment file, which out of myself, Tiber, and George, the only one with a motive here is George. As for his accomplice, all I know is he is from France and uses the OnePlus A6013. So while I can't say for certain that George conducted this "attack," I would say it is fairly clear that he was involved. Additionally, everything that BKNet does requires some sort of user input to initiate the action. If this was a script that went "rogue," then the script would've been initiated with an internal IP and it is clear that it was not. BKNet was not compromised; it did exactly what it was told. This was a failure of basic security and BK has learned the lesson the hard way.

You're the exact reason we need downvotes returned.

I think we can all agree that proper and objective documentation of PnW history is a pursuit that is right. The wiki isn't or at least shouldn't be a vehicle for propaganda, agendas, or excessive bias. As someone who has been interested in natsim history and developments for a long time, seeing a wiki page like this: https://politicsandwar.fandom.com/wiki/Great_Leak_War is very concerning. Forcing the name of the global so soon isn't a great thing to do, especially assigning such an inflammatory name such as, "The Fash Bash Festival." Describing any side of the war in any positive or negative light is a sign of bias and strays from objectivity. Describing the sides as"The long antiquated empires" and "scrappy young rebellions" is an example of this. Needless and propagandist conjecture such as, "Hoping to take the power vacuum that was held by the now-defunct coalitions," also has no place on the wiki, nor does the complete redaction or corruption of facts and events, many of which are completely missing from the linked page. I'm no fool and realize the identity of those who have done this. They are those who have the self proclaimed objective of destroying this game and forcing many off it, but in my honest opinion, corrupting the objective documentation and history of anything is an act most foul and natsims deserve better than that. It used to be that documentation on the wiki on globals was generally neutral and objective, and I do not want to see any group strong arm their propaganda into any article, at least not to this degree.

Everyone knows my name, the day I arrived, the very forests of Orbis whispered the name, Shifty. For 5 years everyone has known the name Shifty. Every alliance, player, and mod has known me. You can scour every Discord and find an opinionated comment on my existence. Every player in this game has seen me as their ally, enemy, friend, thorn at their side, or has been at a loss as to why I am popular. In many cases, people have switched freely between these opinions. Even OoC wise I have been an enigma to most people, for I have been accused of being: A.... Stoner Alcoholic Christian Muslim Black White Asian Child/teenager Boomer Rich *** Pest Incel Communist "Can't see good" Libertarian Friendly and helpful Toxic Criminal More than one person Insane I've had 5 years of different forms of Shifty From the odd shitposter that everyone loved year 1 except Mensa From year 2 where I was the most popular player (rivaled Yui and Kurdanak for nicest player in a yearly award category) and finally founded my first alliance Year 3 where everyone thought I was gonna start the right wing uprising and war on women Year 4 where I just played as a nuke rogue and warring alliance hopper that leaked everyone Year 5-kept the leaks going, joined IQ and made my own AA again, fought in this endless war, disbanded, and went inactive Now we're at 5 years, going into the first day of year 6. Shifty promises another glorious 21,900 turns. As the age old saying goes, "Shifty is like herpes, you may think he's gone, but he always comes back." The SNN server will continue, but it's going to be more of Shifty's social hangout. There will probably be a newer server or group along the line to continue causing annoyances for people. Like P/W, Shifty is always a work in progress. Except when Shifty crashes, lags out, or glitches it's because of high blood alcohol count, not poor quality servers, ayy lmao. What's left for Shifty in P/W? Not much that he hasn't done. Still, he'll find something new to do. For nostalgia fans:

Official Announcement from the Goon Order of Neutral Shoving Jazz stands at a podium alone, looking around disheveled, the press had arrived only his own request... Everything is fine! Everything is going according the Plan™. They will feel my jackboots! All of them! Nukes, Tanks, Soldiers, Planes? Nothing will stop us! We'll raze the lot! KILL ALL PUBBIES! PUBBIES MUST BE DESTROYED, THEY ARE THE SCUM OF ORBIS. STARVE THEM OUT, RIP THEM OUT ROOT AND STEM SO THAT THEY MAY NEVER INFECT OUR LANDS AGAIN! ONLY THE STRONGEST SURVIVE, AND PUBBIES ARE INHERENTLY WEAK AND MUST BE EXTERMINATED. ONLY OPUS DEI CAN LIVE. ENEMIES OF OPUS DEI MUST BE FORCIBLY RE-EDUCATED. Jazz feverishly begins posting recruitment ads on SomethingAwful as he descends into maniacal laughter.

Good to see all of these objective points of views

Thanks to Leo, Keshav, and others for calling these stupid. To that I say, no u And thanks to all of the alliance leaders/gov for participating, it wouldn't have been possible without you guys. ❤️

Thing is, hacking you is above us. We don't support this action in any way and we gladly help finding the one responsible for that. And Coalition B knows enough about breaking agreements, stabbing in the back of their allies, trying to find loopholes in the games rules, attempting to kill off opponent communities, forcing alliances to disband, gaslighting, misleading and lying to pretty much everyone in this game, even their own members. You aren't in a position to make such false accusations just to distract from everything that you have done.

The alliance who sparked the war is distinct from the alliances prolonging it.

We ARE tired, but we hold our honor to a higher degree than our personal feelings. I wouldn't have minded staying comfy making cash, but I have a responsibility to my allies, and to a game I love tolerate. An eternal hegemony that kills the game is in no ones interest, not even the hegemon. Sphinx's responsibility for the war continuing does increase, but his responsibility for a (probable) eventual positive peace deal has increased more. Always an even trade.

"Afrika is secured, but Europe is still endangered by Commies..." Hello Orbis, I’m here to inform you all we as an alliance have decided to say this to the game. "F U". We were the best alliance. Period. Y'all get good. Finally, just wanted to mention that myself and the rest of the gov are extremely proud of our faithful members, you guys truly are the best. Btw: alex fix the fricking game already. TL:DR: Afrika Korps officially announces its disbandment A warning was issued for Filter Evasion.

Dear Roq, I am curious. How much do you have to eat each day to continue blowing so much shit out your ass all the time?

Stop being Me, Me, Me, no one said you are the bad guy, in truth no one mentioned you until you felt the need to put yourself in to it, the simple fact is you picked goons, now die with them.

The fact that this thread has been up for 30 minutes and he hasn't responded leads me to believe he's been suspended again.

Considering I know that Colo B wanted to put a bunch of terms on CoS, including stuff like banning them from joining certain alliances or even suggestions of Infra caps, the fact they got let off with a white peace is very telling of your current predicament, Colo B. All the best CoS, was a pleasure fighting you,

This is turning into one crowded hot-tub

Wow, you realise we play a game right.

Hacker man bad and BK man bad is an option too

While normally I'm not opposed to war, and have enjoyed quite a few long wars and series of wars with my dear friend @Prefonteen and a number of Arrgh Admirals. The toxicity pouring from one particular side makes it hard to enjoy. Mockery of dead people Declared intent to get nations to delete and alliances to disband (Including a request in peace terms to allow two members of the community to be rolled indefinitely) Praising nation deletions Making children eat animal food Just not an environment that is particularly fun. For two months I was literally able to do nothing except buy credits( which I didn't because I wouldn't have been able to use them anyways, it would have just been a waste) and log in. The only actions I was able to take. I tried to obtain peace from day one and and was denied along with my allies every attempt. At least I can log in and launch an attack now.

Lol at all of the BK and NPO drones trying to call you immoral for even suggesting something like this could have been a possibility. Shame on you BK. You even tried to get someone banned in this farce you were trying to pull.

Opus Dei signatories (GOONS, BK, & NPO) agree not to engage in against Avengers for the duration of the ongoing conflict, and extending for 30 days after the conflict comes to a resolution. Avengers agrees not to engage in hostile operations against Opus Dei or it’s affiliates. Avengers agrees not to “ghost” other members currently engaging in the conflict. Avengers agrees to not accept members engaged in the conflict into their alliance as a refuge from the war. Signs: For Opus Dei: Do Not Fear Jazz (GOONS) Keshav (NPO) Leo the great (Black Knights) For Avengers: Krystel (Avengers Leader) Tyler1945 (Avengers FA Head)

That's most likely not happening anytime soon..

I am creating a new DoE

Nation Link: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=183140 Ruler Name: Aero Nature of Violation: War slot filling https://politicsandwar.com/nation/war/timeline/war=587602 After being reported for the spam threads, Aero has taken it upon himself to declare a false war against a coalition member, BK. The actions involved in the war were two ground attacks that resulted in utter failures, despite the receiver having three times as many soldiers and Aero themselves having an air advantage. Screenshots will be provided shortly of their military units before any drastic changes are made. This is a blatant attempt at filling a war slot. EDIT: First Nation is Aero’s, second is the BK guy. Aero knew full well what he was doing when he suicided his ground forces into the BK guy. He just wanted to minimise the damage done to both parties just to tick off the war activity box to hide their attempts of him filling someone else’s war slot.

Link to Post: here Nature of Violation: Robot Santa has completely ignored the rules that @Alex set out in the No Discussion Rule thread. The No discussion rule clearly states: Do not reply to topics in this particular subforum, unless you meet one of the following criteria: You are the topic creator You are the accused in the original topic You have specific evidence to provide regarding the report You are a Staff member Photographic archive in case it is edited in post: https://file.house/fB5Y.png The user Blutarch Mann was given a warning point and a 10 day suspension for the following listed reason: https://file.house/fEPz.png As per the No Discussion Rule, this ban is invalid and a complete farce. The rules explicitly allow the topic creator to post in their own thread. It is right there, clear as crystal. The majority of the posts in that thread were Blutarch Mann and Neko. The two parties EXPLICITLY ALLOWED by the no discussion rule to post(the accused, the topic creator). Your moderator proceeded to lock the thread and warn the topic creator for the no discussion rule being violated. https://file.house/Z0Zh.png Despite the fact the rules clearly lay out that the topic creator does not fall under no discussion rule, the topic creator was punished under the no discussion rule.

Jeez', that's just... Pathetic.

checks signatories checks Keshav's signature Yeah... If I were you, I would feel safer if I had Roquentin signing that. As safe as you can feel towards a person that goes forward with rolling his MDP allies.

We always have had problems with lower tiers, namely not having any so I would not call it hiding exactly. I wouldn´t call getting dropped for swapping sides either. Aggressively failing at plotting a war "to rebuild military rep" and getting months old logs of those leaked doesn´t show much initiative either, if anything it shows more improvement is needed in member selection and OPSEC. The choice to honour existing bloc treaty against honouring a treaty with our biggest ally at time broke by attacking our Cock-bloc was literally no choice either, it just had to happen no matter the fact that our nations may very well end up next to Colo A nations just burned to the crisp for next few months or till the game dies, who knows. And as for safetynet well that has really not existed for us as we kind of knew after KnightFall and especially during this global the powers that be on Orbis will kick anyone to curb as soon as they are done with them...

Pixelhuggery treason ree... nope, can't say it with a straight face 😂 I just can't see how you manage to talk shit about the allies that stood by you and had the patience of saints for the better part of a year @Tiberius, that really is just a plain impressive level of hypocrisy and toxicity even I can't match 🤣 It's an interesting thing to note how vastly different coalition A and B are in their treatment of their allies. IQ holds onto their allies through threats and bullying, so ultimately when any of them choose to bow out, they have to bite back. In contrast, KERCHTUGOGGSECWIMCMNPGGNOREB are held together by more than coercion, so not only do we not have alliances leaving in droves but when our friends do ultimately bow out, they don't actually turn on us. Amazing, isn't it? It's almost like there's a benefit to not being complete flaming sacks of hypocritical shit. Who knew?

let Goons BURN

A well deserved anti-OD circlejerk, I might add. Y'all a despicable coalition.

Seriously man? You're working with people who have tried to destroy my community and you're asking how much I enjoy trying to fricking keep it together? Not cool.

^^

there’s a lot of content you could have gotten about this war and you got like 5 out of context logs two months apart and im not quite sure what it’s trying to say

unfortunately, mine is the new official unofficial server

I don't know about this part. I've interacted with a lot of people in my 5 years of playing, and there's only 2 people I know who definitely fall into the 'clinically a sociopath' group. The game does attract a very narrow and 'interesting' set of people though. I like the idea of having global events (like a zombie apocalypse or a massive asteroid) that will encourage alliances everywhere to pool resources together to prevent massive damage to infra/land/military/improvements. These events would also present opportunities for alliances to harm each other as well, though (to allow for drama). I've thought a lot about the astroid one in particular. I should type my thoughts down and present it in the suggestions subforum.

I see you were very bored today. That's fine, it happens to everyone who plays PnW.

Or Novia Riata, who they where getting pub stomped by until the cheating scandal came out, Nova Riata disbanded, and then claimed victory for that war. I'm just saying. I think they're black bagging people on the side.

#BringBackDownvotes

All of you don't understand high performance raiding. It is absolutely impossible to beat us because we have nothing to lose while it's also impossible to stop us from fighting back and pretty difficult to stop us from profiting. That being said the reason we raided the DH bank and why I raided fark right after was for profit alone, not out of a grudge. They declared war on us as a response which is completely fine and naturally we are retaliating and do our best to be as damaging as we can. "the longer they’re trying to destroy my ally" is complete bullshit as we didn't start this beyond a reason than loot and are now not the ones keeping it going. In fact Vein has approached Raoul Duke for their surrender giving them a way out if they want to. I understand they don't want to accept defeat but we are certainly not trapping them in.

It's not official, the results will not be canonized in anything but a forum post, and you're throwing a petulant tantrum over nothing. Again, get over yourself. You're putting even more stock into these pixel awards then the people you're complaining at, and it's a really pathetic look.
