His Holy Decagon

I, I can't keep interacting with this lol. We banned you, probably for the same reasons that your former AA's have apparently have as well. I regret we didn't listen to the tipoff we got regarding another AA's experience with you, but I would probably pass the same message on to those whom would consider taking you in. I can't really entertain this though, it's beyond what even makes sense in a funny way. Good luck mate

We have essentially 0 raiders in CATA. Not sure if the 30 members in our alliance is referencing total members, or how many raiders we have, but both assumptions on my end into what you mean, would leave this as an incorrect answer. Again, where would I magically pull this money/resources for you, on 5/5, to go and fight from? Most of us are on far higher taxes, and that's given back via cities, projects, warchest, rebuild, etc. You can't basically opt out of paying taxes and then expect to... receive tax money from others? I think you're missing the point that I've said- you didn't pay taxes, so where would I get this magical stuff that you're feeling you're entitled to? CATA is the only non raiding alliance that doesn't pay for rebuilds? Mate, I pay for far more than that, to those who pay taxes lol, I don't know what you're on about. You were the only person in our entire alliance that wanted to opt out of taxes. If what you're saying is accurate, I wonder how the other 90 some CATA members are handling this riveting I'd imagine that you aren't sure who is even fighting to be honest, nor who this 1v3 is lol. Feel free to explain who all is fighting from your PoV. Nope, I'm not misunderstanding anything. So, we're an alliance, that makes other alliances, and we steal from 1 day inactive members?

Taxes aren’t a payment we hold for you, and a fully militarized c18 that joins CATA on 5/5 for 10 days, pays 8 days of that. You’re severely over estimating your “contribution” and viewing it as some volunteer thing. They’re taxes. No alliance in the game loses a member and digs up their tax records and returns that to them- at that point, how could an alliance do anything at all other than function as a bank? Idk why I’m continuing with this tbh, lol. I think maybe you're misunderstanding what kind of alliance we are? It seems as if you might believe we're some form of pirates or mercenaries? I'm being totally serious when I say this, but if I'm correct, that probably explains a lot

Oh yeah, I made sure they weren't expensive, haha

Not sure what you would like me to say unless it’s the answer you want to hear, so I’m just going to say that you said “I don’t really follow…correct me if I’m wrong.” The picture isn’t as small as it may seem, and I think individual points are being dissected without regard to the overall events which makes it not look like a story, but rather one specific sentence and how logic is applied solely to that one thing. The surrounding context of anything explains the singular event much better when you have to factor in FA, opinions, etc

I don’t believe anyone is blaming T$ for not acting in a similar fashion to CATA. We did so due to plans that were worked out at a bloc level, in Wayward, including CATA and T$. We acted in an attempt to preserve that plan in what we thought was the appropriate way. Also, there wasn’t some point where CATA was told no, or to stop, or really anything that I would’ve perceived as such

Only going to say that it’s hilarious you took this wildly incorrect and infactual view to the forums lol. A member (now former) of CATA for a whopping week and he knows the ins and outs at the top level, haha. And it is true. I don’t rebuild nations that pay 5/5

You joined Paradise- also allied to t$ Although I agree with you in hindsight, the irony is you sort of never left lol.

don't know how to delete this

@BigMorf how’s the view from down there, lol?

Yeah, the flag is actually hella good; congrats and good luck on going forward

A conventional war isn’t the only way a whale loses infra, by the way. There are plenty of whales that just maintain low infra and get to enjoy these down declares during or outside of a war

CATA has Locutus, but it’s limited to only a few channels. Probably easier for Borg to debug and help assist if there’s Admin, but I’d say that’s most likely up to the alliance as far as what they’re comfortable with. The last time I saw, Locutus was in 1100+ servers; I don’t think Borg has the capability to, nor the time to peruse through potentially 10,000+ channels. I personally trust him and Locutus, and haven’t heard of any actual credible reason/evidence not to tbh I’d say maybe ask those who offshore with him, or those that know him what they think

I think maybe the server you’re on gave Borg/Locutus Admin, but it’s definitely not a requirement at all

Borg literally helps micros have some form of offshore protection and provides one of the only sources of public tech to them as well as 1 on 1 assistance on a near 24/7 basis. Not sure if this is a troll post or not

The opening "argument" for the change was sort of oddly worded IMO, and I thought it was something like: C40 declares on c30; 10 cities difference, 50% of that is applied to nerf/buff resulting in 5% overall ^ That, I took it as "50% of the difference in city count", since, that's sort of what it says. I guess I was wrong though, based on the examples below it

I think my understanding of this was incorrect; I thought it was city count numerically difference divided in half, not the city difference in percentage divided in half. I have to rethink this now

You’re taking a literal single digit nerf as a reason to lump all growth into a wasteful category? You’re essentially 98% what you would be, and you think that somehow nullifies any reason to grow? Lol A c40 hitting a c35 faces a 2.5% nerf while having 5 cities more of units. Pretty sure 0.5% per city isn’t going to make everyone stop growing

It’s literally 50% of the numerical city difference lol. c20 vs c10 = 5% “nerf” on double the units; this isn’t the end of the world. A c40 vs c28 = 6% “nerf on a nation that has something like 30% more units. I doubt this will be the breaking point for basically anyone

I think “disadvantage” and “less of an advantage” aren’t synonymous

Not sure why people are down voting; the upper tier advantage is still there, it’s just lessened slightly. This should present “more challenges” to those who might’ve solely relied on just down declaring during wars

You think the current way that a c40 can down declare on c20’s, is okay? (obviously not a 3200+ infra, militarized c40+)

So, my impression is that this is to help dampen the effects of someone far larger wiping you out “as easily”, right?

There; I added some extras for you
