Lol :-p. Or maybe it's just something to do. Honestly, I think it'd be nice if we had other possible objectives. Like maybe nations start getting coastal floods due to global warming and they need to work with other nations (and maybe even other Alliances and Blocs) on building walls to stop the flooding or something -.-

Did you forget to add Rose to your time-lapse?
Im37 (Rose) made it briefly into the top 25 on Day 1, but by the end of Day 2, he was out. El Dorado (TFP) started out in 3rd place, but by Day 3, he was also out. Rose has more of a presence in the second time lapse, the one with Oasis/Rose/Mystery Inc only. The only other non Hollywood player to make it to the top 25 was Cocania (KT), who made his debut on Day 12 and got into the top 10 by Day 18, where he stayed until the end. I think the timelapse makes it absolutely clear that even -with- 1 1/2 spheres jumping in to help Rose Sphere, Hollywood was still dog piling at the top. Rose does have a significant presence in the second timelapse that excludes Hollywood though.

Sorry mate, but I don't generalize off of anything you say, however, your statement is a good example that summarizes some of the problems with your coalition's war effort. This is easily observed by anyone who actively fought in the war.
There are more ways to fight a war than duking it out with armies.

Not so sure you can generalise on this issue given the tiering differences between alliances within spheres.
All I know is that Hollywood dominated the upper tier and this may have cascaded downwards. As I said, I'm no expert on this, was just going by what I heard.
1 hour ago, EliteCanada said:Wow, you just summarized why your coalition lost the war. Hint: zero initiative.
Pretty sad when you take what I did and generalize it for an entire coalition -.- In a previous Alliance and Global I was in, targets were presented as good candidates and I attacked them.

You are talking about one tier and a group of nations that can only reach so low but completely neglecting the fact that there were missed opportunities in other tiers that if capitalized on would have completely pinned most of us down.
But by all means drink the kool-aid and make excuses.
I'm only stating what I and others suspect. I'm not saying I've done a detailed study on the matter. Another point, being able to pin down the top tier can have a cascading effect all the way down.

I certainly don't like wars, but in point of fact, no one asked me to attack anyone while I was in Mystery Inc. I did engage in some spy assassinations upon request though.

@Phoenyx bud.....you look like a war deserter.......
I joined Mystery Inc. when they were -already at war- while the Alliance I was in wasn't in a war at all. If I was so war averse, I wouldn't have done that. I didn't leave because of the war, but for other reasons.

A lot easier to fight a lot of wars if most of them are down declares. I'm not saying I know all the reasons for the disparity, but I suspect this may be the main one.

That's definitely not true for the delta/johnson war since no whale was small enough to hit any nations.
I'm not with Delta anymore :-p. I was actually in Mystery Inc for part of the war.

Ugh... that's not right at all. The fact that so many people cannot seem to figure it out is something else but the "stats" inflated by Whale damage is only part of what determines who can win or lose a war.
Can we at least agree that Hollywood did just fine against 2 1/2 spheres?

I hate to break it to you but it has to be said. Your entire blocs war performance was truly miserable and disappointing; in fact it was so bad that I was truly surprised and taken back at the offer of white peace but I suppose I can understand why. Your blocs together didn't lose because of Hollywood hegemony but because you outnumbered your opponent in almost every tier imaginable and still your war performance was that of an out of control dumpster fire.
Based on what I've been hearing, you may well be right in terms of coordination. I've also been hearing that the Hollywood whales covered the upper tier, letting everyone else down declare. The bottom line remains the same, only together did these Blocs have any chance of putting a dent in Hollywood.

Bud, this is a peace post. You can drop the propaganda lines and just say "good luck."
For many of us, we had a lot of fun this war, and I think everyone has reason to be happy with the fighting and the outcome.
Good luck and enjoy rebuilds everyone
So it's fine when Hollywood does pr, but anyone critiquing them is "propaganda", got it. Bottom line, Oasis et al was right, Hollywood can only be dented with multiple spheres countering.

Doesn't make it any less so
You can't have it both ways. Either you guys beat all the Blocs combined in damages or you didn't.

I still remember the time when Hollywood was saying how unfair it was that multiple spheres were ganging up on Hollywood. How the times have changed.

I see nothing wrong with this. Each time you 'surrender,' you lose 3 MAPS and 10 resistance points and the attacker gets an automatic Immense Triumph with a random assortment of loot (equal to 125% of what they'd have gotten in an attack on you). It would then be treated like an offer of Truce, and it would be up to the attacker to agree to the Truce or to keep attacking.
I think what would be better is if a party that wanted out of the war offered to surrender and, if accepted by the other side, the surrendering party would have their resistance zeroed out and their loot taken as they would had they gotten defeated the regular way and would also get a Defeat and beiged, while the other party would get a Victory. What I think would be even better is if terms could be negotiated, which is a feature that a certain other war game has. Would be nice if I could mention it here, so developers could see how they do it if interested.

We are not and have never been allies, we are two completely different and separate spheres each with their own goals and political aspirations. Part of the fun of micro spheres, is one day a sphere you worked with in one war you will end up fighting in the next war. Same goes for your enemies.
Many talk about there being only 2 sides, well former HM teamed up with half the alliances it just fought against, to hit a sphere that they fought with 4 months earlier. Do you guys only want two sides every war or do you want to see the sides mix it up? You !@#$ when there is too much peace, you !@#$ when there is too much war, end of the day, no matter what we do, somebody is going to be pissed, but as long as i am not allied to them, I dont care.Barring NPO like conflicts, I don't think there's not much concern about there only being 2 sides to a war. Anyway, you can bring up goals, aspirations or whatever else you like. Bottom line, they helped you out when you were attacked in the last Global and now instead of helping them when their Sphere is getting attacked, you're part of the attack. This kind of reminds me of how HM refused to reveal the "Secret HM Leader" -during- the Leaky Faucet conflict even as Swamp was countering for you guys. All I can say is that if -I- were a different sphere and some other Sphere attacked you again, I can easily see the wisdom of not helping out again.
What is P&W listening to?
