    This has been added - you can now choose to round your resources to the nearest whole number (display only) via a new setting on the Account page.

    I wanna say, this feature when I turned it on literally made me gasp in awe. I have no clue why, it's not even that big, but this is my favorite feature added in the past 6 months. My OCD has been cured. Thanks.

    Hopping on the bandwagon..

    in Welcome & Introductions

    Posted

    Hello! I thought, seeing as this is super popular to do atm (idk why), I'd do my introduction almost exactly 1 year late! Considering most people already know me, this is review before the quiz ;p. 

    Right so where to start... 

    I'm a high schooler in the North Country of NY. My life plans have recently been Texas style mercy killed (aka, thrown up into the air and shot to pieces), so I have no clue what I want to do. My whole irl life is in crisis about 75% of the time, so don't rely on me to do anything.

    I'm generally quite friendly, albeit a bit dark and depressive. Been playing video games all my life, and always up for a chat. I also have way more life experience than I should, and ironically it's all the bad life experience. 

    I am a fleshbag of contradictions. Consider this. Conservative, Irish, Jewish, farmer, transgender, nationalist, militaristic, depressed, history nerd, gamer and avid hunter/sharpshooter. Just reading that makes me go cross-eyed. With that I am usually very middle of the road and (imo, ofc) reasonable with my opinions. 

    I have a lot of familiarity with personal interaction, garnered by my USNSCC and medical experience. I have pretty extensive military, history, political and medical knowledge which comes in handy when I least expect it. I can also type real fast (80 wpm) so that's cool.

    On a darker note, I have a terminal blood disorder which has many many adverse effects. Immuno Thrombocytapenia is vastly understudied and is so unknown that many doctors have no idea what it is. All you need to know is occasionally my sleeping abilities get !@#$ed and I am awake for days on end before being unable to function for weeks, I may have medical interventions (although this is rare nowadays), and I am pretty morbid because death is my homie.

    Seeing as I have played for a year now, I thought I should quickly comment on my experience here. That is, a very extensive experience lol. For some reason I was convinced I should become government the day I joined, and ended up become a trainee in AK and then in IF when my nation was 10 days old. It just got better from there. Got involved with the business world, was in the shadows of FA, met a lot of interesting people (some have left, some are my friends now) and experienced that which is experienced in a year in only a few months. The rest is history.

    Yay, long overdue introduction that nobody asked nor cared for. Luv u all, PnW is the best thing that has happened to me in about 3-4 years. It has given me a sense of purpose and belonging that I have never felt before. It's probably really petty lol, but I have fallen in love with this shitty browser game with terrible features, the rich but generally boring history, and the community which is always in juxtaposition between being the most loving and caring people I have ever met and some of the most pleasurably/enjoyably annoying. 

    That's all folks! ❤️

    If you want to be relevant, be the representative for your alliance. There are a ton of representatives.

    Also, let's be honest...some of the categories have right answers. They're landslides for a reason. 

    True, but to you it doesn't seem like the "elite" have a differing opinion than the masses?

    From my experience running it last year, it's generally a non-issue as, for the most part, alliance votes and popular votes align. The reason it was set up this way was in an attempt to prevent coordinated voting because every alliance vote, regardless of the size of the alliance, has equal weight and are not allowed to vote for their own alliances. Furthermore, while we cannot enforce this for obvious reasons, alliance representatives are heavily encouraged to consult with their govs and/or members when nominating/voting, depending on how they decide to organize that.

    I understand that...

    but if you look at the votes, doesn't something seem off? In multiple categories there are massive landslide victories, as if no one wanted the other choices. And there is a lot of grumbling about how nominations submitted by players multiple times didn't make the cut. 

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ this isn't like the an election, I don't think anyone cares enough to pursue it. And for all I know....well I don't know anything lmao. Love the awards nonetheless.

    Like Zaria said, but I want to express my dislike at alliances (meaning, one person in said alliance's government) get to have more say in the nominations than the individuals that make up Orbis. Not only that, technically these people have 2 votes. 

     

    Not like I care particularly, awards smords. I just think that it's somewhat unfair to allow the more prominent people in Orbis who no doubt were on the shortlist as well to have an extra vote and say in deciding who, in all of Orbis, get's these awards. Unless I misunderstand, in that case punish me.

    Am I just a rickroll to you?

    I attempted to rickroll you, and then gave up with the formatting.

    Why? I believe I tried to rickroll you wayyy back when and you had the link memorized or something.

    I can't, in good faith, continue supporting my own report here.  The events of today in the Capitol have stunned me and make me realize the importance of unity instead of difference.

    Do as you wish - be it nothing or not.  But I want to bury hatchets.

    Oh, just saw this. Okay.

    This point is clearly objectively wrong.
    The charges facing Rittenhouse include first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide and attempted first-degree intentional reckless homicide, a charge of violation of curfew .

    Okay.. and how does this invalidade is argument? This is some whataboutism as well 😛

    You clearly know there is a diffrence between planning to do a kidnapping and saying someone should be shot (though I support neither), and this too is some whataboutism.

     

    I am too lazy to check more, but it seems that extreme right people are also storming capitol hill right now 😛

    The charges he is facing are easily refutable. His lawyer could be a 12 year old and he'd get a slap on the wrist.

    Indeed it is whataboutism. The whole thing is. It invalidated the argument because it's kinda hard to be racist to yourself.

    How he worded it, calling =/= planning. 

    I just saw that, and Trump has already denounced them. As have I. And, as far as I know, the III%ers/Proud Boys are not involved.

    But, funny enough, that point was whataboutism as well. Good job.

    read you pansy. i don't appreciate 1. being called a terrorist 2. being called a racist or 3. my friends being called anything of the sort.

    and everything you said after "political purposes" is such bullshit i have lost all respect for you. nice job weaponizing the mods, btw.

    "3 PRINCIPLES OF THE THREE PERCENTERS

    All Three Percenters must abide by the following principles. Anyone who cannot accept these principles as a self-imposed discipline are not welcome in this organization, nor should ever consider themselves a part of the Three Percent movement.

     

    1. Moral Strength - Knowing what is right and wrong and acting accordingly. Being trustworthy, truthful, and holding high values and principles. Strength to stand up when something is morally wrong.

     

    2. Physical Readiness - Physical readiness is defined as the ability to meet the physical demands of any task in order to accomplish the objective at hand. There are some III%ers that have disabilities that prevent them from meeting physical demands and for these there is an exception.

     

    3. No First Use of Force - "Don't fire unless fired upon". We are not the aggressor nor antagonist. We are purely defensive and only as a last resort."

    Also an associate member is not a full member, because I can't vote. I am more of an observer. But that's irrelevant.

    Gonna have to chime in on this one, because far-right extremism has been surging in the US. Proud Boys/3pers have committed many, many crimes in the last 5-10 years that it's almost incomprehensible you won't declare the more heinous acts terrorism, because they are literally using fear as their motivation. How are they a mercenary company? They were founded to stop "White Genocide", which doesn't exist in any way shape or form. I think it's disingenuous to separate the Proud Boys and 3pers from other far right extremists since it's a nebulous movement as with Patriot Prayer and other groups, but they are all rooted in white nationalism. 

    I mean just off the top of my head you have: 

    • Murdered protestors with their cars. (Heather Heyer)
    • Kyle Rittenhouse killed someone and is currently being charged for murder 
    • the leader of the Proud Boys got arrested 2 nights ago in DC for stealing a historically black church's BLM flag and burning it
    • Calling for the Michigan Governor to be kidnapped 
    • Storming the Michigan Capitol building with AR-15's. 
    • Jerry Varnell (3per) was arrested trying to be a Oklahoma City bomber copycat 
    • Those 3pers that blew up that Minnesota Islamic center a few years ago (one of whom was a cop)

    I could probably find so many more instances, but how are these not terrorism? I'm just not sure how you can so casually call Antifa a terrorist organization and in the same sentence dismiss the Proud Boys/3pers as a "Mercenary Company". 

    "Murdered protestors with their cars" was not Proud Boys or III%ers. That was a screwed up Nazi who was a terrorist.

    Kyle RIttenhouse can only be charged with illegal possession of a firearm, as he acted in self defense. This isn't even a debatable point. Not only that, he was not part of the Proud Boys or III%ers.

    The leader of the Proud Boys is black. Just saying.

    I've heard plenty of democrats call for Trump to be shot. Your point?

    The Michigan storming of the government building was not Proud Boys or III%ers, it was an unorganized riot. Which, to clarify so you don't call me a hypocrite, they should have been arrested.

    The III%ers denounced Jerry Varnell. In fact, you should read the manifesto that the III%ers have. I read it. Cuz I'm an associate member of them. 😛 

    They weren't III%ers. The cop had previous connections to the III%ers which were never confirmed.

    Your whataboutism not withstanding, because the groups themselves have never done anything wrong. Sure some crazy mofo goes nuts and does something stupid. Oh, he was part of the III%ers 20 years ago? Apparently now it's their fault.

    Get your facts straight, and come back when you're ready.
