  1. Separate from my usual feelings about your somewhat baseless ramblings, it is really ripe to see you post this here of all places. You (Camelot, of which you are sole decision-making head) dropped the people of Atlas without giving them a long enough opportunity to adjust to your requests. Nobody is claiming they are perfect - see further post below - but you lost all credible argument space on this. We all know you like to puppet anyone who is silly enough to ask for your help ("we will send someone over" isn't how the rest of the civilized world treats prots,), but its rich to see you basically arguing merge or die. Maybe you were drawn here because for once someone was posting a complaint about a different alliance than Camelot. @Mac a couple of tips, both OOC and IC: -Bold is a really great tool to use for headers breaking up a long post like this or to create emphasis on a short point. Using it through your entire post makes it difficult to read, let alone understand. But I will say from our limited interaction, this does match your communication style - long, rambling, limited punctuation, and no editing. If you want other people to respect you and bother responding, spending a minute cleaning up your thoughts goes a long way. -This makes a third separate protectorate that has dropped you in six weeks. It is probably time to look in the mirror and figure out why that is. Sounds like you do not even need to request feedback, as plenty has been provided and ignored already. -Finding potential partners and allies does mean having to compromise and adjust your preferences. If you fail to do so, often that pushes people away, like Camelot, WAP, and the nice people from Western Republic who de-merged from you. An important point here though: publicly going scorched earth on everyone when a relationship fails accomplishes nothing. You alienate others in a very small community of Orbis. To this point: please stop harassing the members of Western Republic. They have moved on after finding reasonable terms to separate, yet you continue to DM them privately and ping them publicly. Poaching attempts will no longer be ignored. Manage your own alliance with your members and leave those that chose to disassociate from you alone. (I would also suggest applying this advice to Camelot and WAP, because as you can see above, when you overstate your self-importance and publicly attempt to mislead, the other party can come along and correct the record.) -Good luck in the future, sincerely. Most people would see this as a learning opportunity and try to do better next time. But I remain skeptical this will be the case for you. Leading is hard: Your members are counting on you to make good decisions and put them in the best possible situation. They trust you. I always try not to take such responsibility lightly. You might want to do the same.

  2. As Captain-General Jeric and the Guardians of the Dawn flew through yet another solar system on the legion’s long journey, they noticed an odd planet that reminded them of a place called Earth they’d visited before. This planet had no known name in the ship’s navigation system, but was noticeably colder than what seemed normal for the planet’s location. Nevertheless, life was still abundant, and the Legion of Dawn broadly agreed it seemed like a suitable place to rest before continuing on their journey. The legion landed near a castle called Winterfell, and shortly after found themselves investigated by a local scouting party. Captain-General Jeric and the Guardian of the Bastion, Kan, agreed to visit with the rulers of the local kingdom. They found the castle of Winterfell impressive, despite being antiquated compared to the technology they were used to. The representatives of the Legion of Dawn, after asserting they were not there to cause any trouble, found themselves feasting merrily with the King of Winter, Ataxia Stark, and his advisors. Tales were sung of battles past, with undernotes of warning about “the coming Winter.” Jeric and Kan believed they could quite easily fix this problem, as their ship was capable of producing a tremendous amount of energy which could easily be released to warm the planet and prevent the encroaching cold, and offered their aid. “Are you certain you wish to join us in the fight against the Winter?” King Ataxia asked, with a furrow in his brow. “Of course,” said Captain-General Jeric. The two shook hands, formalizing the alliance. “After all,” Jeric said, “how hard could dealing with some snow really be?” “Snow?” Ataxia questioned. “Snow is the least of your worries now…” And in the far distance, the White Walkers felt the birth of the new alliance, and were worried. TL:DR The Legion of Dawn and House Stark sign an MnDoAP.

  4. BigG, the FA head from WAP here. We gave you a 72 hour notice, and said we would continue to help you until you found another protector, but then were continually disrespected and then you flat out told us that you had been dealing in bad faith. We have your embassy archived if you’d like to have a look. Happy to show all the times that you shot yourself in the foot, most recently when your whole server got deleted because you refused to move over to one where you had admin because it was “too much effort”. Trust me mate, you don’t want this more public then it already is, best to let this lie, we’re sick of dealing with you.

  6. I wanted to launch this thread because I felt it time to respond to some things.... The great team of Atlas has been through a lot. After taking in Commo's team, and paying all their debts off, they ripped our alliance in half twice. Camelot dropped us two short weeks later claiming the world was ending and nanos and micros didnt matter anymore. We have spent the last two weeks with great people from WAP trying to piece together the dedicated group, a daunting task by both sides to undergo. WAP said they wanted to try and improve us, we tried very hard but when we struggled with issues or weren't online fast enough they would get angry with us, we started to feel after a few days that they were being really harsh. Our gov was worried that we wouldn’t be welcome and we decided to try and find a new protectorate, one who would be patient and help us with hard tech things that we don’t understand. WAP has dropped us today with no 72 hour notice claiming that we did not try at all to comply with anything they said, while also claiming looking for others protectorates is against the treaty. WAP deleted our embassy so we have no record of any of the conversations, but we have been working extremely hard. We have raised our revenue by tons, increased our members recruitment and found two government officials we can count on to help fix builds and help our guys get the help they need to learn the game. I honestly thought maybe they were just trying to motivate us but after they cut us we felt like everything was a joke to them and they never wanted to help us learn. It bothers me as a player, because I wonder why the norms seems to apply to everyone but us, when clearly the people inside my alliance want to be here with us and make things work, and be part of a community. It feels like because I don’t do well with a single issues and its hyper-focused on that this means I am a waste of their time, and that we shouldn’t have any expectations be given 3 days to leave. I remember last year other alliances who didn't give notice were frowned on. We had a rough time in recent weeks, and are sorry that we let our friends at WAP down and always want to make our allies proud to be a part of our team.

  7. Did your treaty include a clause for a 72 hour notice? If one was not included then WAP is not obligated to give one.

  9. If you capped alliance numbers, alliances would just make multiple alliances. Wouldn't do much. There's not much to be gained by limiting player's freedom of movement. As always, the solution remains to make the game more engaging and less draining for new players.

  10. Not giving a 72 hour notice got people in trouble last year. Whatever issues these guys had they deserved at least the bare minimum notice so they don’t get left high and dry all of a sudden. Hopefully someone picks them up and gets them help. This community needs to do more for smaller alliances to grow the player base.

  11. Hello, Granted I've been on the game several months now but haven't really discovered much outside of my AA. However, since I enjoy storylines that actually happen in-game (haven't really caught on to the whole RP thing without in-game action), I'd love to know who are the big rivals around Orbis? A lot of the top AAs I see have a bunch of treaties with other top alliances so who really hits who or who has a lot of tension with who? Thanks in advance.

  12. Perhaps if you stopped storming out of well intentioned chats like a hormonal brat, people might be able to give you some help and more importantly, a treaty. This is properly a you problem, and it really takes something to drag me into this place to post; congrats on that and good luck.

  15. The largest current rivalry is probably between the SALE (Syndicate) and CIS (Singularity) spheres. It's been going on for quite a while now and three of the last four (4/5?) major wars have been either completely centered around or included the conflict between these two, these being Darkest Hour, Dodge This, and Global War 30 (some will split that last one into two, I don't think that makes too much sense). You can find pretty much everything I say here on the wiki with Declarations of War and other drama linked. Unless it's longer than I know, the conflict dates back to when t$ cut off Cataclysm (who merged with Paradise to form Singularity) when Cata and Paradise hit Midgard (old bloc that had Aurora (m. w/ CTO to become EVH) and The Immortals). Claiming that their allies went in without their agreement, t$ gave Cata their 72 hour grace period before the treaty would be cut. However during that time, Eclipse hit these two alliances in defense of Midgard, and t$ did not defend Cata on the basis that they had violated their treaty by going in without t$' approval. Once the war between Cata-Para and Midgard+Eclipse was over, t$ signed Eclipse. It was a pretty controversial move for most people, and was the CB for Cata's entry into Darkest Hour, where Eclipse and t$ got rolled. It's been a state of perma-war since then I believe, and both sides accuse the other of maintaining that state. Some people may disagree with this POV, I'm an ex-t$ member that tries to stay on good terms with them still, you can ask SIN members for theirs if you wish. Overall the rivalry has gone on for too long imo, it's getting pretty boring, @FA please hug each other immediately.

  20. Well, they're one of the historic alliances of P&W that are still around, the other 2 being Rose and TKR. You also have the likes of Guardian, but they're not as large, and are usually low profile, not necessarily making power plays, but being involved in pretty much every global war nontheless. Essentially t$ became the most influential alliance in the game after a war called Oktoberfest, where UPN were their biggest rivals. From then on, Syndisphere became the dominating sphere in the game, even though their enemies usually outnumbered them. t$, Mensa, TKR, BK and Guardian were all in the same sphere, and all of them were good at war. Then TKR outgrew t$ and became the main powerhouse in the game till Knightfall, where the psheres looked a bit different. Afterwards we had NPOLT, which was the war where NPO tried to cheat their way into winning the game, failing miserably. Since then, the aforementioned historic powerhouses (Rose, t$ and TKR) continued being the most influential alliances in the game, although t$ went through a rough patch pretty much till their current leader Tarroc took over. Finally, during the past few years, Eclipse emerged as one of the main alliances in the game, consistently being the most successful big alliance, having only lost 1 war so far.

  31. "The third change is a new tier 1 naval trait, which increases the chance of blocking the missiles/nukes of a nation you’re blockading by 10% (this is multiplicative to the current 30%/25% chance)." Nukes/missiles should not be nerfed more. They are the only units half the combatants can use after the first round. Unless the point is to encourage people to not log in after the first round of war?

  32. As INH said, a pretty big reason that a lot of conflict is centered around T$ is that there aren't many alliances that have held onto a position of power for as long as they have. When TKR was created in 2015, it was T$ that was protecting them. Having been around for so long with so many competitors (your #45 micro can literally only get in so much drama; people just don't care that much about them, no matter how many incidents they cause) will cause a lot of conflict that sticks in history. The part about Cata and Eclipse that I mentioned is a pretty rare example of such a blunder that I'm able to cite it to you despite not having even played when it happened, the rest just occur with time.

  33. In terms of the alliances that have fought each other more often, Rose and t$ are probably the biggest historical rivals on Orbis. However, TKR and Rose have duked it out quite a lot as well. In terms of current power dynamics I'd say it's more or less a competition between Eclipse, Rose and TKR, where Eclipse have consistently been better for a while now. The current meta is pretty interesting, since there's 5 alliances that are able to make power plays: those 3 + Singularity and t$, which is a much better situation than the bipolarity we had when NPO were around.

  34. Does anyone have a serious counter-argument? I haven't heard any in the weeks since I posted it. If anything I understated how bad it is for new players even with the project discounts. You need to merge with your allies or your peers in the lower-tier. As it stands, you would need a 3+ year protectorate to catch-up even if you were very skilled.

  37. For to long whales in Immortals have claimed ownership of Yellow because of the name, as they get their mid tier authoritarian "enforcers" to try enforcing it for them; as they keep avoiding as much damage as they can. It's time for the masses to stand up tot he Authoritarians and prove freedom can win. We encourage all on Yellow to Vote Anarchy Yellow to prove to them they don't own the team & freedom prevails. We will fight for our right to not be treated as second class nations; forced on the worst colors. We encourage others to stand with us & vote to make Yellow a free color. We are open to both treaties and paperless relations with those who wish to assist in proving change is possible. The same dinosaurs don't own the same colors forever and we can make a stand to change things. Yellow is where we make our last stand at least, not sure why so many raiding alliances settle for bad colors rather than be bold. Either we succeed, or the whales keep dominating in their leads, as raiders are fighting for scraps & avoiding the good colors just so the whales can keep getting richer than them at an even faster pace. Better to die on your feet, than live on your knees. High King of the Vikings of Anarchy
