Yeah, some notifications and things are tied to your account rather than your nation and aren't deleted if you just delete your nation and make a new one (but don't delete your account.) It's essentially a bug, but not one I'm particularly concerned about

Just FYI, your nation ID is 640815 and your nation link is https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=640815 On my end, it shows that your payment is pending until September 4th: Usually that happens is you pay via bank or eCheck, it takes a few days to clear much like a regular check does. But, when it clears your credit will be automatically added to your account. As a general policy, we do not add Credits earlier in these circumstances after I've been burned a number of times by people cancelling payment after I give them their Credits early.

I've turned this into an in-game report for you, so mods will review and address here shortly. Thanks for your report.

Again, there's no good way to enforce this.

And how would you propose we do that? Require a reCAPTCHA with every message sent?

The Game Rules have been updated, specifically pertaining to Community Rule #3 - Spam Messages. (Changes emphasized in bold) This change was made as a result of a warning issued by the moderation team for sending spam messages that was appealed with the claim that the previous game rules were not specific about the limitations of sending alliance recruitment messages, only that an exception was made for them. My hope is that these additional points will clear up any confusion and set a new standard that will still allow for recruitment messages to be sent to new players (new players joining alliances is good for player retention and the community) while mitigating spam. The first point, You may not send the same message to the same player more than once per 60 days, is intended to prevent low-effort spam by sending the same exact message over and over and over again. If you want to continue to message new players, you can, but you will now be required to use new messages, at least every 60 days. The second point, You may not message the same player any alliance recruiting message more than once every 60 hours, is intended to limit you from messaging the same player every day. We will allow a message up to every 3 days, and 60 hours allows some grace there to make the rule more specific and manageable. The third point, The same alliance may not have different alliance members message a given player more than once per day, is to prevent an alliance from having two, five, or ten of their members send alliance recruitment messages to the same player. Alliances are allowed to have multiple people send recruitment messages, but you must not bombard someone with messages from the same alliance in the same day. We'll offer a grace period through the end of the month on strict enforcement of these new rules, as I know some folks have scripts and other procedures in place that may not exactly match these new rules. Starting September 1, however, we will enforce this rule in full if we receive reports regarding spam alliance recruitment messages. In case anyone has any questions, that's why I posted this here -- please ask below.

Did your Credits ever come through? It is typically instant unless you pay via bank transfer.

You can turn off resource rounding on the Account page:https://politicsandwar.com/account/ There's no way to change the date format currently, but you can change your displayed timezone

I think you need to have exactly $1,000,000.00. It looks like you have resource rounding on, so you most likely had some amount of cents that made it not == 1000000.

The response I got was:

I love it.

Looks like probably siblings; we'll continue to monitor.

They're all gone now. Thanks!

That's very kind of you, thank you!
