Hmm, trying to figure out whether to classify this as a "No Discussion" or "The Pout"... 🤔

"Ad hominem" doesn't work either. Keep trying! 😁
PS. For those who haven't figured it out, this entire thread, on my part, is built completely on sarcasm. Just thought I would clarify... 🤣

If I am not mistaken, you explicitly state on your nation page that you are a member of the Federation. Please stop embarrassing yourself m8. You're nothing more than a pixel hugger and I'm surprised they keep you as low gov after this little charade. I guess that just has to do with the fact that they're so shit that your smear fits right in.DING! DING! DING! We have a winner folks! I was wondering who the first person to prove their lack of vocabulary by resorting to four letter curse words would be, and you, sir, win the booby prize!
I congratulate you on being able to read my nation page, where, as you can see, I have been a member/gov of several different alliances while running a business completely separate from those alliances. Yes, on paper I am a member of The Federation low gov, however, I operate a completely separate bank that generally doesn't handle alliance funds in any way shape or form. Maybe you noticed the other alliance that was actually the offshore (I mean, it was named "Definitely not an offshore", so maybe you had a little trouble understanding the sarcasm - as you seem to have trouble understanding the fun and sarcasm intended in this post 😅)... Also, I don't technically categorize myself as a pixel hugger - I have participated in several wars - however, I also understand (and anyone with half a brain can also likely come to a similar conclusion) that the war system in Politics and War is little more than a joke attached to a RNG, and an opportunity for what essentially amounts to schoolyard bullying by keyboard warriors who may need to touch grass.
Also, I wouldn't talk too much about an alliance's members/reputation when one has been in/still is in an alliance led by a player whose leader name directly references equine genitalia...
And look, I didn't even need to swear... 😉

The only scenario under which an alliance bank gets looted is when someone's incompetent enough to put an inactive in charge of the offshore bank. There was never really an expectation that it'd get looted, unless you were a bunch of morons. We just wanna burn your pixels for fun.
Penumbra is not an alliance’s bank/offshore though, so, your premise is a bit invalid. 😉

Being protected doesn't equal immunity. This likely isn't the last time someone goes after a bank either. Moral of the story here is when you play the neutral card, eventually someone is gonna come knocking on your door. Just ask Green Protection Agency. Oh wait...
Oh, I wasn't relying on "protection", I was relying on common sen... I was relying on human decenc... I was relying on people having more than one brain cel...
Nevermind, forgot this was

My immediate reaction finding out I can no longer take out a loan from an internet game bank which has a credit score system.
Wait, we have a credit score system?! @Tugger, did I miss a major development?

We at Penumbra Banking Corporation pride ourselves on our non-discriminatory loaning practices. In fact, we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, genetic information, age, membership in an employee organization, retaliation, parental status, military service, or other non-merit factor. Just about anyone can take out a loan with us, if they demonstrate the ability and willingness to repay... And, oh yeah, don't declare war on the bank. 😉

It was another beautiful morning in the Barony of Eibhear, and Penumbra Banking Corporation's president, ChrisNorcras, had just unlocked the doors and was getting ready to settle back into his comfortable leather chair to begin the business of the day. Suddenly, the air was split with the sound of sirens and the metal security doors slammed closed. A slightly panicked teller ran into the room, skidding to a stop before the president's beautiful wooden desk.
"Sir, the bank is under attack! Several nations claiming to be from the Hand of Fate have surrounded us and..." Before he could finish the first shell hit the bank and the building trembled.
ChrisNorcras reached into his desk drawer, pulling out and slipping into a pistol shoulder rig. He waved the teller out of the office before calmly picking up the phone on his desk. "Activate the navy... Prepare the defenses." He paused for a moment before adding, "And add these clowns and their alliance to the blacklist."
Not long after, the attackers made their demands. They were there for loot and for the fun of it. Unfortunately for the poor, misguided children, there was no loot to be had. The vaults had already been emptied out in preparation of the coming storm. ChrisNorcras stood before one of the evacuation tunnels out of the bank and muttered, "One does not walk into the shadows and return unscathed..." With those final words, he left, sealing the vault-style door behind him.

But how do you know there isn't a secret channel in LPH that serves as the Oceanian Bunker? Oceania has always existed and will always exist. There has never been a time that Oceania has not existed...

I'm rather confused why you're doing a second Declaration of Existence, though.
Not sure what you're referring to, as this is the first DOE forum post that I'm aware of...

“In the little village where I was born, life moved at a slower pace, yet, felt all the richer for it. There, my two uncles were known far and wide for their delicious cooking. They seasoned their zesty chicken, using only the freshest herbs, and spices! People called them: Los Pollos Hermanos; The Chicken Brothers. Today we carry on their tradition in a manner that would make my uncles proud. The finest ingredients are brought together with love and care, then... slow-cooked to perfection. Yes, the old ways are still best at Los Pollos Hermanos. But don't take my word for it... One taste, and you'll know.”
Gustavo Fring sat back in his office chair, a slight smile on his face. “Gentlemen, this commercial must be one of the finest to be ever shown on television. I commend you on your excellent work!” Standing, he moves to a map on the wall, with all fourteen Los Pollos Hermanos locations neatly marked with red push pins. “Our operations have been expanding exponentially in our key market areas, and it looks like we’ll be well prepared for further expansion.”
He reaches up to tap a fifteenth push pin set apart from all the others. “This new location in Orbis though, how has it been progressing?”
Dusty and Tugger looked at one another before turning back to Gus. “We had a bit of a rocky start, thanks to another local chain - Waffle House - perhaps you’ve heard of them?”
“Waffle House?” Gus questioned.
“Yes, sir,” interjected Tugger, “A somewhat popular breakfast chain known for their greasy-spoon atmosphere and all day breakfast options.” His lip curled up a bit in disgust. “Nowhere near the quality of a true Los Pollos Hermanos, but they fought us bitterly when they seemed to believe that we were moving in on their territory.”
“Ah, competition breeds strength, though, my friends,” Gus said, handing a DVD to the new Chicken Men. “Perhaps the fine folks at Waffle House would benefit from our training video on conflict resolution?”
Dusty shrugged as he took the proffered disc, “We tried some of that, boss, but they didn’t seem particularly open to the idea at the time. Things got a little rough, but we managed to hold our own and weather the storm.”
“Good, good… Be sure to let me know if they should require any further… Persuasion.” Sitting down in his chair once more, Gus steepled his fingers in front of his mouth, looking over his glasses at the two men. “I expect great things, gentlemen. Great. Things. Our expansion into Orbis must be subtle, swift, and substantial. All of us know that we provide the best product that money can buy, and there’s no way that any other chain or interest group can stand in our way.”
The two men strode away from the office with Gus’ final words ringing in their ears.
“My friends, I promise you that together, we will prosper.”
Leaders:
Tugger (FA, IA) and Dusty (MA, Econ)High Gov (Managers):
Leo (Econ, FA) and ChrisNorcras (FA)Low Gov (Crew Leads):

TL;DR - Los Pollos Hermanos declares its existence.
Also, LPH wishes you and yours a Happy Halloween!

- I also wanted to outline a new set of community guidelines to be as transparent as possible about our moderation practices. For example, in the past we have stepped outside of what has happened in "official" P&W channels (in-game, this forum, and our official P&W Discord server) to take moderation action against players. Examples of cases like these are the Guinea Pig Whaling Corps / NPO ordeal, previous instances of players trading real-life money for in-game money, instances of doxxing and sharing of other players' personal information and photos, instances of players engaging in predatory behavior toward other players, etc. This new draft of the rules includes a "Community Rules" section, which is broadly intended to serve as codified and transparent guidelines for how we expect members of our community to behave, and in what types of situations I might consider actions and evidence occurring outside of official P&W channels. Please note that this is not a big shift in moderation practices; I have essentially already been doing this for years in very limited, specific, and extraordinary circumstances, and that by including this in the rules I am only intending to be more open and transparent about what is happening.
While I agree with most rule updates, I must firmly and vehemently stand against this particular clause. Though I understand the intent of the rule, the fact that it amounts to overreach is obvious to almost anyone who reads the proposed changes.
I personally would advise anyone with a PnW related Discord server to enhance their own moderation, add clauses to their rules disallowing the use of their Discord servers for this particular "moderation" purpose, as well as making sure that public channels are basically locked down and that content is available only to those approved by the staff of the Discord server. Attempts to circumvent and use privately-owned Discord servers for the purpose of moderation should result in a permanent ban to those who attempt it.
In simple, and the kindest English I can manage at the moment, "Stay in your lane, sir."-

In the former SMC barracks, Dusty reached over to pull a printed message from an old fax machine:
Later on, far off in the distance, LPH, SMC Branch stood on a hilltop watching the Perpetuals celebrating their "victory" against the dine-in, fast-food menace. Chris, Dusty, and Arcturus had been invited to the party... However, when they went to join in, they were expressly told that their presence wasn't required or desired. Arcturus looked through the scope of his high-powered rifle, but Chris reached over, pushing the barrel downwards. "It's okay, gentlemen." The sound of engines roaring to life could be heard in the background. "There's always another war."
