[Proposal: Applicant Wars]

2 minutes ago, Village said:

I might add a toggle for it, but in general it's meant to make it easier to see who's actually declaring war on you and your applicants, not just on your members.

That makes sense, my particular frustration is when somebody applies to the alliance, declares 4 wars, and then immediately leaves. Or visa-versa and gets declared on, so then it looks like we have a bunch of wars when in reality none of our members or legitimate applicants are fighting. A toggle would definitely be very nice 🙏

[Quality of life idea for banking.]

Not a bad idea, currently it is possible to send transactions with nation IDs via the v3 API.
Mutation example:

mutation {
  bankWithdraw(receiver:id) {
    (JSON Object of things to send here)
  }
}

[Make the policies organized.]

I feel like policies are such a miniscule part of the game that this will likely never be implemented. Also, i'm fairly certain some of the questions impact both your social and economic policies

[Proposal: Applicant Wars]

Prior to the new war update, wars declared on or by applicants didn't appear under Alliance->Wars. Now it does.

I didn't see any specific reasoning for this, so I assume it was unintentional with the update

Proposal, either:

1. No longer show wars declared on or by applicants in the alliance wars page

2. Allow one to toggle on/off viewing applicant wars on the alliance wars page 

 

Again I assume based on my knowledge of PHP this would be like a 3 minute fix/change.

@Sketchy your turn. Or do you still need 6 months to “figure out” a merger? I know you have had time to make it happen because y’all certainly weren’t using your time to fight.

[Proposal: Alliance Awards]

A lot of alliances like to offer awards/badges/stickers to their members to display on their nation page for completing various things and participating in wars. 
Proposal:

• Add a "alliance awards" section to nation pages
• Allow alliance leaders/government to issue alliance awards, with a custom description and upload their own small img

I'm thinking this would be a relatively simple thing to program. But I also think it's something that would become widely used especially among top alliances. You could maybe make it so they can only have a max of 5 awards or something like that, since undoubtedly someone would go make an alliance and give themselves 10k awards for the sake of it.

Would like to see bigger enhancement to missile and nuke defense. Plenty of perks for offense, very few for defense.

I agree with this one

Could make perks a good way to better set up a real defense ig

Doubles your contribution to your color block
> Your nation's impact on your color bloc is halved
Seems redundant

I think the point here is switching between them, so like a small nation with a low income on green for example, would want their impact halved, but all of Grumpy might want their contribution doubled, etc.

Could be used both to help tank a bloc if that's your goal, or boost a bloc if that's your goal.
Though I feel, while we're on the topic of updates, it might be worth raising the cap on max color bloc bonus? Especially considering that more than one color is at the limit now.

A public declaration - Mayhem, Ignis Aternum, and The High Table have agreed on the following:

• A ceasefire will be declared between the three parties, effective immediately
  • Peace will be offered on all wars
• The High Table agrees to pay Ignis Aternum reparations equal to damage sustained by Ignis Aternum ($77,000,000) less damage dealt to The High Table ($54,000,000).
  • The parties agree this sum will total $23,000,000 
  • The High Table will transfer the $23,000,000 directly to Ignis Aternum immediately following the posting of this agreement
• All the parties agree to a 1 month Non-Aggression Pact

TLDR: The brief conflict between Mayhem/Ignis Aternum and The High Table has concluded

Signed,

Sorry but points 6 and 7 are false… There was no indication of peace once upon the conclusion of any wars currently being declared on Mayhem’s behalf (as the screenshot below shows).

Fact remains that rather than engage in more dialogue, you chose to escalate a singular raid because I pointed out your attitude and tone was unnecessary — since when I did so, you stopped responding and 6 wars were declared as “Counters - out of range”. 

They are... Counters? Do people usually hit you over and over again when counters end? You poor thing, I genuinely thought it would be understood that we had planned to just go home after the fact, again, as is standard for counters. Your boy MAGA over there dropped more loot than Ignis took in damages anyway. 

You were the one who came here and blew it up into a full on war. So now it may continue escalating especially as you continue declaring wars.

I'll take note that if we ever interact in the future I need to spell everything out for you. I hear you're from CN? Is that how stuff works over there?

[RoH - Manners Are Free, Use Them Mayhem]

Of course it's a Camelot splinter that blows things way out of proportion.

First off, The High Table was the initial aggressor in this conflict. They declared a simple raid on our protectorate - Ignis Aternum - which is really an alliance that will be launched post ODOO/Friends-Rose war. Primarily consisting of ex-Imperium and ex-Order nations we have worked with in the past. 

Said initial war in question:
https://politicsandwar.com/nation/war/timeline/war=1782458

We had just days ago loaned Ignis Aternum around $250M to get them started. It was pretty annoying when The High Table came along and got in the way of that. We countered the initial war https://politicsandwar.com/nation/war/timeline/war=1782669 with the one Mayhem nation in range. (An issue we had been trying to fix with our investment into Ignis in the first place).

I reached out to The High Table government at this point regarding a simple peace with the standard reps which would've all been paid to Ignis. I did, as stated in Rageproject's original post, misread the report and get the damages backwards. Which - is something I immediately fixed. Rageproject claimed he was not going to pay for the counter which added ~$5m in damages. He stated the reason being that we "didn't have to counter" and that they weren't at fault since said original High Table nation had already been asked to peace. 

RageProject immediately escalated the narrative when bringing up a separate situation with a much more peaceful resolution that occurred at an earlier date:

 

For additional context, Firefly Militia is an unprotected sub-50 micro. A couple of our members decided to have fun and were able to pull a little loot, since they were fully armed but without targets in the global conflict. The alliance was completely open by our raid rules. However - when their alliance leadership reached out and opened a much more friendly dialogue, we peaced the wars anyway.

Point being (long TL:DR):

1. The High Table did declare the initial raid
2. Mayhem countered for Ignis as a protectorate would be expected to do so
3. Mayhem reached out to The High Table for a small $ value in war reparations
4. The High Table immediately responded by making accusations of "countering counters" in an unrelated raiding incident, which was in fact concluded on good terms with Firefly Militia
5. Mayhem then followed the practice of countering nations actually in our range at this point
6. RageProject did reach out with an offer to simply peace - I countered by saying we'll see wars through to beige or he can pay the new updated reps sum of including the new wars
7. He said he didn't want to pay reps - so I told him we'll simply continue out with existing wars and then be on our way. At which point THT declared additional wars on Mayhem and Ignis, thereby escalating this to the point we see now.
