Your creative flair for insults is impressive, and it’s clear you’ve put some thought into crafting this response. However, if this is a war of wits, it’s always more enjoyable to keep things lighthearted and focus on the fun of the exchange rather than taking things too seriously. After all, the best battles are the ones where both sides walk away with a smile, even if one side does get the last laugh. So, I’ll continue to enjoy the back-and-forth, knowing that at the end of the day, it’s all just a game.
Oh, how delightfully condescending of you! Trying to play the magnanimous victor while pretending my words didn’t sting—how original. It’s almost as if you think that wrapping up your weak comebacks in a pretty little bow of “lighthearted fun” will somehow mask the fact that you’re clearly outmatched. But by all means, keep enjoying the “back-and-forth,” as if that’s going to change the outcome. I’ll let you keep telling yourself it’s “just a game” while I continue to wipe the floor with your so-called wit.

Recognition of Hostilities To Rose, Sing, and TFP, In the grand game of politics and war, where alliances are as stable as a house of cards in a hurricane, we find ourselves in a curious predicament—hostilities have ensued! It seems that our factions have decided to trade pleasantries on the battlefield rather than in the chat, and we couldn't help but notice. Your cunning strategies, masterful diplomacy, and occasional meme warfare have truly kept us on our toes. We've seen your plots unfold with the precision of a Swiss watch, or at least a cat trying to knock one off a table. Either way, it's been quite the spectacle! As we engage in this war of wits and resources, let's not forget the true meaning of this game: to have fun, stir the pot, and maybe, just maybe, achieve world domination. But hey, if things don't go as planned, there's always next season, right? So, as we face off on the battlefield, let's keep the banter as sharp as our swords and the camaraderie as strong as our defenses (which we hope you've noticed are, in fact, impenetrable). Remember, it’s all fun and games until someone loses a fleet—then it’s just hilarious. May the best faction win, or at least, may we all have a good laugh trying! With a wink and a nudge,
It's amusing that you believe your attempts at diplomacy and strategy are worth acknowledging. The way you glorify your half-baked tactics and unconvincing wit is almost as entertaining as watching a toddler pretend to be a general. Your self-praise about "impenetrable defenses" is as laughable as your grasp on reality. It’s cute how you think your “war of wits” is anything more than a desperate scramble. But sure, keep telling yourself it’s all in good fun—because let’s be honest, winning is something you'll only dream of.

From the government of the United Nations of Orbis, we want to show our complete rejection of the tax rates of some of the alliances inside Orbis, especially those that expropriate over ninety percent of the resources of their member nations, in the name of the “common good and development of the alliance”.
We want to show our complete commitment to the ideas of liberty, and we guarantee it for all members of our alliance.
We want to position ourselves as an alternative for those players and fellow alliances that prefer liberty over a complete rejection of their rights.
We want to be clear that this statement is not an attack on other alliances, just a declaration of our opinion on some issues that have reached our attention in the world of Orbis.
All nations or alliances that agree with this message are invited to add their signature and show their support to our statement. We are still open to commerce and diplomacy with all alliances, regardless of their economic policies.
Glory to the United Nations of Orbis!
Signed:
The President of the United Nations of Orbis.
The Cabinet of the United Nations of Orbis.
The Senate of the United Nations of Orbis.

Setting SAIL
Incoming Transmission:
Beneath the cosmic waves where voids compel,
Event Horizon’s cultists steer their fate.
From SAIL’s embrace, a storied bond to tell,
Through darkened seas, their paths delineate.
With sails of shadow, through the night they glide,
Obsidian hearts that pulse with ancient might.
To stars unknown, where whispered omens guide,
Their voyage cast in everlasting night.
From T$, Legion, CoA they part,
Yet in the depths, their legacy shall swell.
Through tempest’s roar and twilight’s deepest art,
Their legends woven in the astral knell.
Though parting now, their ties shall not define,
For new horizons mark a clear divide.
TLDR: Event Horizon officially declares its separation from SAIL with 72h having expired. We would like to thank our allies in The Syndicate, The Legion, and Church of Atom for this nearly year long partnership, but it is time for us to part.I guess you can say that ship has already Sailed.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to announce that pnwkit-2.0 now has a google app script version. The app script version has all the new queries with the addition of mutations. There are also utility functions included as well. I can't wait to see all the possibilities now that you can use google sheets with mutations. So have fun and let me know how fast it breaks.

Sorry Kev, I would feel bad steam rolling you guys in a voice chat while talking about the Mets/Knicks/Jets for an hour or so.
There is also nothing said in that post you shared that was stated to be mean. The difference is I said OUR blitz was garbage, OUR entire war effort was bad. WE were plagued by inactives. The difference is I include myself with VE's failures in that war which happened 800-900 days before I made that post. Also you missed the rest of that post, which had some great Grumpy history in it, ill post the rest below so you guys can all read it again.ENJOY!
It was around this time actually it was a little before this war that I had decided to start my own alliance, but I procrastinated and got sucked into the war, but that is neither here nor there. So post war I created Grumpy Old Bastards and with me came a few of our upper tier nations that were like me dissatisfied with the status quo, (which includes goldie who told me he was just going to quit the game if I hadn't created a new alliance.)
So this is the first alliance I had ever created on my own, and when making it, I wanted to make an alliance that does exactly what I would want if I joined it, which was a small active group of 12-15 people all around my size so that we could work together and kick ass in a war, that was my number one goal.
On top of that there are some other things in there I also wanted to see. One, No taxes. Ever. At grumpy we have a saying. That saying is the best person to spend your money is you. I was sick of paying taxes and seeing them go to people that would quit in a week or go inactive after a few months, that is all wasted money in my opinion, but it was the cost of doing business in a mass recruitment alliance, and Grumpy wasn't going to be one of those. 2nd Step, I was sick of dealing with people that are never online which makes fighting a war much more difficult than it needs to be, so that means, to join, you gotta be daily active. If you can't log in once a day, I don't want you. Step 3, due to the no tax thing, anyone that joins needs to understand the importance of warchests so they need to be big enough to be self sufficient (hence the self sufficient thing that used to be on our main page that you guys liked to twist to your own uses). Step 4, which goes along with Step 3 is I am sick of teaching new/small players how to play, and dealing with new/small player crap, and basically any of the work that goes with dealing with new/small players, I had been doing it for years and I was done. So I added a 10 million dollar membership fee, with the hope that it would discourage new players, and the type of players I wanted to attract wouldn't give a crap because 10 million should have been about a day's worth of income, and it would help build a cash bank that could be used for 0 interest loans. I have no interest in taking over the world or being number one, I just want to have a small lean alliance that could do some damage in a war, so with that in mind I wanted to go paperless with secret treaties because I figured it would be more interesting, and we may get involved with some things that if we were in a paper block would never come about. The last thing I wanted with my alliance is to have an extremely loose opsec policy, which basically consists of, if you ever want to know something just ask and unless I have been sworn to secrecy by another alliance leader, I will tell my members anything and everything that is going on. Which I know has led to some consternation with my allies because I make no secret about the fact that I will tell my guys just about everything as long as there are no leaks. (it's also why Shifty will never be a member of Grumpy, who also has applied to grumpy, and was turned down fyi. Leak that fool!) I do this because I only really wanted experienced active players and it would be to my advantage to leverage their experience when it came to dealing with OPSEC type stuff.
With those tenants in place Grumpy was created. In terms of our FA when we first formed being a small upper tier alliance we needed someone to protect us from test who at the time was around 45 members strong, and had their sights on wanting to raid us, because they are and still are today opportunistic and will hit anyone they think they can get away with hitting without taking any real damage. So really the only alliance with enough political clout to tell Test to go screw was TKR, and while at the time I wanted nothing to do with TKR, I didn't see I had much of a choice. So with that we became a protectorate of TKR, and to their credit, they did a fantastic job, New alliances that want a protector you guys should go to TKR. But you know Test was still a threat so in secret we started talking to other small upper tier alliances, and we actually formed a secret upper tier bloc to fight Test in-case they get a little too testy. Eventually we took a survey of the alliances in orbis, and asked ourselves who is out there that we know can throw down, and is also big enough so that we can fight with? Honestly I don't want to ally someone that I cannot fight with, why would I want to ally a lower tier IQ alliance, who had existed for quite some time now, who I would realistically never be able to fight with due to the differences in our nations? So we reached out to Guardian, because as former members of VE who had clashed with them numerous times, we knew that size wise we were a good fit, and they were dependable war partners. We got up to around 10-12 members and Test had quit like the opportunistic scumbags they were and still are today, so we didn't see the need to stay a TKR protectorate (which honestly we were for longer than we should have been) and we upgraded to the standard Grumpy, we got your back, if you got ours treaty, they exceeded our expectations as a protectorate and they deserved it. So to those that complain that we are allied to people that are our size, you are correct we are, because I want allies I can fight with in the trenches because that is much more fun than fighting by myself.
I think that covers basically what grumpy is and what I was trying to build and why I do what I do. Now to address some of the shenanigans above. I think it was Roq that was saying that the Grumpy model is unsustainable, because people quit and lose interest after time. This is true, but that is also why I am extremely selective about who I accept, and why I do my best to keep my players involved and I basically let them do whatever they want. Do we make suggestions to improve? we do, do we have warchest standards and military mins? we do, but I am fairly lax on most of that as long as they are active, and they all are. (if you look at grumpy's roster, you will see everyone is either yellow, green or blue, at most you may see 1 orange, but that is about it. How many of you guys out there can say that? I am going to say... just about none of you, including CoS and Test) I find when you keep your members involved and feeling like they are contributing to our success its much easier to retain them. Unlike the crazy tax rate alliances, that have cookie cutter nation builds and control every aspect of their growth, I don't understand how that is even remotely fun for the average member. It may have something to do with the fact that I have been told that Grumpy is the best alliance people have even been in, and why we have had a total of 3 members leave in the last 2 years. (damn you tywin quitting the game raising the number to 3)
I also laugh at those that say we don't want to fight in wars, have you ever met me? I love me some war, peace time is only good for preparing to fight in the next war. If we didn't like war we wouldn't have fought in this war, I knew going in we were going to lose, I mentioned it multiple times in this forum, if I operated like super dynamic Test, god knows I would have never joined in, like when they skipped the war where TKR rolled what ever Ros Wei is called now. We would have also avoided the nuke block war, I went into that war knowing that we were not going to offer peace until we ate every single one of their nukes. And when they ran out, we peaced out. I believe only maybe Partisan and whoever was running TKR at the time know this, but when our friends in Hogwarts and TKR where in a bit of a tiff, I straight up told TKR that if anyone I was not allied to hit Hogwarts, Grumpy would attack them, and I 100 percent would have even if that meant getting losing which it probably would have. (which I am glad we didn't have to, because if I rolled into a war only to have Hogwarts disband, I would have been PISSED!) If we are being honest, I am actually pretty happy we are getting rolled this war, some of my members aren't as battle tested as I would like, and I have been told by others outside of Grumpy that some of them are infra huggers. You guys are doing me a favor, its easy to be grumpy when we win, but the ones that want to stay grumpy when we lose are the ones I truly want.
As for the accusation that I dislike newer players, I do. I wont deny it, they are a pain in the ass, and I don't have the patience to deal with them anymore, one of the best parts about grumpy is that because we have good experienced players, it basically runs itself, i dont need to babysit, or deal with stupid drama because everyone knows whats up, and what they are doing.
As for thinking we are elite and better than everyone else, guilty as charged, because hell ya I do. And if you don't think the same about your alliance, maybe you should think about what you are doing. I think we proved it this war, our eliteness (if that is a word) allows us to roll all of Test and CoS in 2 days (granted their opening attack strategy was terrible, so that was super helpful) it's why we can embarrass Fark and instantly counter and cover their upper tier when they tried to do... well who knows what they tried to do. So you are correct, I think we are better than you. The other advantage of having an upper tier alliance, is I don't have to really give a crap about about 80 percent of the alliances out there, because mechanically you are not any real threat to grumpy, which includes pretty much all of IQ, which always makes me laugh when they view us as some sort of threat to them, i couldn't really care less about what IQ does, because I cant hit them even if I wanted to, even with them militarized we still cant get low enough to hit them.
As for Grumpy being bad for the game, that is some fine politicking you guys are doing. Its not my job as an alliance leader to lose, my job is to put my alliance in a position to succeed, it's your job to take us down if you think we deserve to be hit. So to say we are hiding behind our allies is super hypocritical, because if we are guilty of that every single alliance that has at least one treaty is doing the exact same thing. If you want to compare treaties, I can tell you right now, that we have less treaties than every single one of top 20 alliances, not including those that say they are actually paperless, if that is to be believed or not.
I think that is a long enough wall of text, it actually saved someone from getting hit tonight because I was going to drop down and pick up a target or two, so you guys are welcome. And if anything doesn't make sense that i wrote above, my bad, but this thing is so long now, even I don't want to go back and reread it. I look forward to people taking statements I made above and turning them for their own political purposes.
Since this is a Warstats thread, and it seems that i am the only one that posts warstats, here is another one for you. I have 33 cities, every single one of those cities has been nuked so far this war, and currently 3 of those 33 have been nuked twice!
The player base: This is too long to read!!!!!!
Darkblade (Via Chat GPT):
SRD begins by apologizing to Kev for potentially dominating a voice chat about the Mets, Knicks, and Jets. They then address accusations from a shared post, clarifying that they criticized their own alliance's failures inclusively, not mean-spiritedly.SRD recounts the history and principles behind the creation of their alliance, Grumpy Old Bastards. Dissatisfied with the status quo, they formed a new alliance prioritizing active, self-sufficient members, no taxes, and a small, effective war group. They aimed to avoid mass recruitment and manage only experienced players.
Grumpy Old Bastards initially needed protection from a larger alliance, Test, and became a protectorate of TKR, which they later left after forming strong relationships with other alliances like Guardian. SRD emphasizes their desire for alliances that could fight alongside them effectively.
Addressing sustainability concerns, SRD highlights their selective recruitment and member retention strategies. They value involvement and autonomy over strict control. They also express their disdain for dealing with new players, preferring an experienced, self-sufficient member base.
SRD asserts their alliance’s war readiness and commitment, disputing claims that they avoid conflict. They express pride in their alliance's competence and superiority, and reject accusations of hiding behind allies, stating their alliance is designed for success, not defeat.
In conclusion, SRD provides war statistics, noting the extensive nuclear attacks their cities have endured during the ongoing conflict.

It's Been A While...
Hello Everyone. I'm sure a lot of you have forgotten who I am based on the fact I disappeared for almost a year now lmao. But I thought I make an official post to announce that I'm leaving the game (hopefully permanently). It's gonna be a very lengthy post so I highly advise that you get some popcorn and soda ready for this massive Wall Of Text.
Why I'm Leaving
To put it quite simply, I've made a lot of strides in my life since I started playing Politics and War almost 5 years ago. I graduated community college, moved out for the first time to live on my own, started attending university, made and lost a lot of friends along the way, and started to look inwards into the person I was, am now, and who I want to be. I still have a lot of work to do since I have a lot of issues with myself, but I know I'll get there. I realized how much computer science sucks in the job market, got back into doing theatre (with a lot of hot theatre chicks
), and even got kicked out of a few bars for drinking too much (but I got a lot of fun stories from those adventures). I've just been too busy with school and trying out new things in life as well as meeting new people and realizing how socially awkward I am kek. And I just don't have the time nor drive to continue playing this game anymore. Especially since I feel like it's begun to hold me back with my goals in life. Which sounds like a bad thing, but eventually every story has to have an ending, and this is mine.
A Thank You To PNW
When I started playing this game 5 years ago. I was working a crappy warehouse job that I hated, had no friends, didn't know what to do with my life, and thought I would never be happy. But eventually I found this game called Politics and War thanks to Drew Durnil (or whatever his name is). Since then I've figured out that I wanted to learn how to program and become a software engineer, learned how to be a freak in the sheets (that was my title when I first joined my university's ESports club when I became treasurer). Met a lot of amazing people who taught me many different things not only in-game, but in real life as well. And for the first time in my life, and I felt like that I was in a community that enjoyed my presence whether as an friend or enemy thanks to my awesome personality and even better memes. Despite the up's and down's I had in this game, I want to thank you @Alex for being a dumb high schooler who wanted to make a nation sim (I'm sure the $1000+ I spent on credits over the past 5 years will suffice). This game helped me during a dark time in my life and I'm sure it helped many others. So I hope that you continue working on this game for years to come until PHP finally becomes a dead language and you're forced to learn Javascript and react.
Personal Shout outs
There is so many people I could thank but that list would be too long. So I do apologize if I didn't shout you out, I've just kind of gone thru a list of people who I felt made a huge impact in my time playing this game. This community is honestly so great and I've met a lot of people friend or foe who I enjoyed my time with. So I do apologize if your name didn't get shouted out but know that I appreciate everything that everyone has done for me. You can always harass me in dm's.
My Final Message (Hopefully)
If there is one thing I've learned in these past few years, is that life is short, people make mistakes, and you shouldn't let your past haunt you. How your life goes is up to you. We all start in different playing fields, some more advantageous than others. But you shouldn't that affect you or the person you wish to become. It may not end up exactly how you thought it would, but you shouldn't let your past haunt your future. There's a whole world to explore whether it's going out on a random day and meeting new people at university or playing a nation sim, don't be scared to go out there and try new things.
But with that said, thank you politics and war for everything.
