Interesting how that rule flies out the window when it's fellow brown shirts though.

Is that a PW server I'm not aware of? You should probably link the PW server messages to Alex so he can address them. 

And you can even continue acting outraged over a guy who literally used the game itself to make "jokes" about lynching black people to... Known black players! Oh yeah, it's all coming together. Shit sticks together huh yang?

Also imma get downvotes for saying this, but if only half your revenue as a pirate comes from raiding, consider getting good (or going back to farming)? 😛

Personally when I pirate I go balls to the wall and decom all non-essential improvements so bombarding means nothing to me. IMO there's already a tradeoff you have to make between passive farming revenue and active raiding revenue that you have to make when pirating, and a change like this will ultimately mean little to nothing for the good ones.

But I need my farms, where will I keep the cows?

I disagree. I have only been in Grumpy for 250 days. In that time I've added 4-5 cities because of no taxes, no interest loans, and a culture which values growth. Much of Grumpy came from somewhere else and they weren't all whales when they arrived. They've become big because it's one of the priorities of the AA and it's what draws certain individuals to it. Other AAs could imitate this and grow, it's just not their model. Nations aren't created as whales, they become whales because of choices and priorities.

I'd also like to note that Grumpy fights quite a bit more than your average alliance as well. For instance, here is the to 10 alliances with their wars/member:

1. Rose - 83 wars

2. TKR - 148 wars

3. t$ - 133 wars

4. TI - 95 wars

5. TFP - 59 wars

6, Cam - 60 wars

7. Grumpy - 210 wars

8. Eclipse - 109 wars

9. Guardian - 102 wars

10. The Order - 74 wars

 

I mean, that's pretty glaring, no?

 

I mean, if you look back far enough you'll see I never held that against NPO. It truly was the only way to flip damages for them. It is a tool for those who can't manage to do what I've outline above though.

Who would have thought an alliance filled with retired raiders and some of the oldest nations in the game would have the highest average war count?

Hey folks, back at it again with the unsolicited WoT.  Sit back, read, and enjoy a cup of tea!

I think there's a few issues with the Oasis entry into this war.  The foremost of which is the mention of secret treaties.  To enter a bit of context, a primary reason for TKR's entry against Rose was actions that were done last war in the form of secret treaties that imbalanced a global war.  These were secret treaties they maintained with Oasis and HM.  Notably, Rose entered on those secret treaties while the other blocs were hit.  Nonetheless, a secret treaty existed, which you can confirm here:

From an objective perspective, it is suspicious that a previous secret treaty combination is repeating.  Our stance on secret treaties is clear.  They're destructive for the meta.  Oasis is claiming that they entered based on HM's handling of Delta and dissatisfaction with the formation of Hollywood.  For the sake of good faith, let's entertain these claims even if they may seem spurious.

Even if there wasn't a secret treaty, any form of "friendship" or "agreement" if made without paper on the web is an effective secret treaty.  The difference is semantics.  Orbis norms have long been that coalition agreements can only be of offensive nature as the oA has always been seen as a universal for all alliances, but defensive pacts are not allowed.  This was showcased in Knightfall where TKR suffered heavily for secret treaties that either weren't activated or well-known--not to mention changing the course of a global war by the same who used secret treaties later on to hit us in Duck Hunt.  We made mistakes in the past.  There's no doubt.  Because of this, we've wholly transitioned our stance to transparency even when if it comes at political costs.  Our friends in Oasis and Rose have not returned the favor.

Next, folks like @Dr James Wilson talk about the size of Hollywood.  First, the statistics they're showing are score, and not tiering charts.  Let's rectify that with a chart that shows all top 50 alliances (I made this on mobile, so sorry about not doing smaller alliances as it was quite painful already to make) and members that have been active within 2 weeks:

Hollywood isn't the biggest sphere by a wide margin in terms of total cities nor nations.  The tiering of Hollywood is relatively even throughout with a slight advantage in the upper tiers, but largely comparable to both Rose and Syndispheres.  At the same time, Syndisphere has a large advantage in other tiers and Rose is quite competitive despite being the smallest sphere.  In terms of total city count, Hollywood vs. Rose was about 1.3:1.  This was the closest war in more than 3 years, and nowhere near a dogpile.  After Oasis' entry, this became a 1.6:1 in favor of Rose and Oasis.  Ironically, Oasis' entry made more of an imbalance in both tiering and city counts than the war beforehand.  Moving forward, let's only address using the relevant statistic: tiering.  Score is useless, and y'all know this.

Oasis has also presented claims about Delta's supposed mistreatment at the hands of HM.  From my understanding, the outcome of aggressive actions on behalf of Delta was them escaping without reps.  I don't love terms, but this seems like a slap on the wrist from a sphere that y'all clearly state has done and seen much worse.  Further, if you had an issue with HM and wanted to use it as a CB, then you could consider declaring your own war when there isn't another one going on.  The meta hasn't ever accepted interference in wars, so this is an extremely weak CB and borderline meta-breaking if you try to take this tack.

The sphere size argument is moot with any reasonable observations about the current sphere sizes.  The alternative argument for Delta treatment means that Oasis was planning to interfere in another war, amounting to at best a destruction of long-held Orbis norms.  Thus, even if we dubiously accept there were no secret treaties, we're not left with much but an invalid CB.  Simply put, this just continues Oasis' track record of secret treaties and wars stacked in their favor.  It's disappointing.

Alas, the die is cast and now we fight.  Y'all have the advantage, but my members want the pixels.  Let's see who wins.

 

can we get the list of alliances counted on this chart, was just hoping to see what it looked like

The information helps decide whether or not he was doing anything legitimately bad. An as you are acting as his defendant I am talking to him through you. I'm not sure what's so hard to understand here. An once more you continue digging the the mine shaft. Pun intended. 

My friend the only one digging down the mineshaft is you seeing as you continue to publicly make a fool of yourself. Would you mind to actually bring up one of my points next time or just keep parroting yourself?

Does not change the fact that you your allies filled your slots, Regardless of whether anything happened or not your allies still filled your slots . An your avoidance of explaining why is suspicious for multiple reasons to which i have already stated. Your continued reluctance to give any real explanation is just digging your self a hole. No pun intended. As for firewolf he did contribute in some manner, He is a witness on the side of the accuser and as such he has every right to add to the topic to which he did, He expanded the accusations to you attempting to use wording to get away with something potentially inherently wrong. Due to increasing suspicious i have to side with wolf on this one. 

First of all, I don't know why you're referring to me, I am not TRM nor am I in Oblivion or Error. I can't give an "explanation" because I have none, I wasn't there. Likewise, your statements don't change the facts that the wars were almost immediately peaced out. Where are these slots being filled? Furthermore, why does anyone owe you an explanation for internal conflicts? What will you do with this information? It contributes nothing to the conversation about the claims of slotfilling. Firwof expanded by comparing their actions to doing what EM did even though there is nothing in common and nobody deposited anything? That is the definition of a tangent.

I somewhat remember from my year's of being forced to watch judge Judy by my father that it's not just the defender talking, the accuser is supposed to make his own case as well. This is very basic when it comes to breaking any sort of law or making any claim/accusation. What reason do you have for trying trying to subvert this? It's oddly suspicious. If you were entirely innocent you would have no need to do such a thing. 

 

"Mind your own business" Is not a valid defense against an action that potentially affect's others not intended to be involved. If you are doing something you should not it sets a bad example for others and disrespects Alex and whatever rules he might have made. Not to mention "Mind your own business" Is a rather suspicious defense to an accusation such as this as if you did nothing wrong that you have no reason to keep secrets. If there is some internal conflicts going on then there is no point trying to keep it a secret because if anyone was going to take advantage of such then they would do it regardless of if you try to keep it a secret or not. So one way or another you seem to be doing something wrong and that in it's self is worth investigating. 

Firwof is not the accuser here, Duelos is, you should probably check that before you decide to post here. He brought nothing new to the conversation and brought up EM for some strange tangential reason.

 

As for your comments on TRMs defense you completely ignore everything else he said and just talk about him hiding something? Internal conflicts between alliances aren't what is being reported here, it is slotfilling. These wars lasted a minute long and anybody could have declared on TRM because he didnt even have all his slots filled during that minute. This just seems like a way for Duelos to try to get revenge on TRM for declaring war on it, awfully petty from an outsider's perspective...
