[3/16/2022 - Upcoming Changes]

TFW people don't understand that a net of +1, *on top of the +1 you CURRENTLY have*, is 2.

e.g. "I have 14/15 project slots."
"Let's buy the new project slot, project!"
"Oh wow, I now have 15/17 project slots!"

It takes 1 slot, gives you two more *on top of that*

[Proposed Beige Change]

1. I do like the idea of a war expiring after x amount of turns due to inactivity

2. I don’t think rewarding the winners of a war, which could also be from an expired war, with 25% effectiveness or whatever it was, is a good idea. This would affect much more than the initial blitz. It affects counter attacks, raiders, people wanting to just rejoin any war at all

3. Leaving beige early, as others have mentioned, shouldn’t be penalized imo.

(my numbers do not correlate with the OP’s numbers, FYI)

I'm not Ro$e gov.

 

Be that as it may: I fully understand Clock's frustration at the developed situation. They are now in the spot t$ and Ro$e felt themselves in until recently. I don't see how that is morally reprehensible on our part however. Particularly with the efforts WANA and whoever runs rose these days made to keep the sphere lean (with success). Can you uhh... explain to me what the exact problem is, while also accounting for the political context  this move was made in (read: HW's top tier dominance over all at the moment, and Clock's ranking above  rose and t$ individually pre-move)?

To be fair, this is another narrative I’ve been seeing, that I sort of chuckle at. Clock isn’t upset at all, nor are we frustrated. Not directed at you, Pre, but giving criticism, former examples, other ideas, isn’t some form of toxicity, at all.

It’s just as simple as we had four major blocs, and losing one of them, any of them, isn’t what I personally think anyone wanted. Yeah, sure, “GG/TKR/TI”, but, I’d rebuttal with “Do two wrongs make a right?” Obviously not, and I’d be as humble to say that no one has to follow the logic and narrative that others hold to heart.

Good luck, Celestial, hopefully the alliances you’ve recently signed and cut, hold the same value in these moves that you do. And hopefully the issues that Shiho addressed (nice reply, if I’m honest) are somehow addressed with this route (adding more numbers), instead of working on the things that actually improve fighting.

[Pay your F*ing Taxes]

I love this. I also love practicing and managing a heavy centralized style of economics, where this time, I do know what’s best for you and your nation. Please fellow nations, abandon your personal desires, motives, goals, and join something bigger. Join the collective strength that a centralized system employs, embraces, and provides a never ending reassurance and a sense of “being part of something bigger.”

[Poll: New tiers of Urban Planning]

On 3/2/2022 at 8:03 AM, Prefontaine said:

Urban Planning (UP) and Advanced Urban Planning (AUP) are projects focused on reducing city cost. These projects typically have an all resource-based cost and require certain city thresholds to buy. A new version would likely follow this trend. 

Incorrect from what I was told; Epi told me and many, many others that UP/AUP are purely “catch up” projects; I trust his opinion and am positive his take on it is *not* because of a personal struggle with econ nor because he has a larger training alliance.

Please enjoy the sarcasm, and also please make a third level of UP

Yup. I have idea what i am trying to say and i also have idea of the situation. You are just saying cuz you hold a grudge with me. Aslo,you seem blind to read this this screenshot Mars posted which clearly says borg is behind it.

 

 

Yet no one on earth seems to have anything where Borg gives any instruction on this grand plan he made. It's amazing that everyone knew what to do and what their part was, yet, not a single person has a DM from him, instructing them on what to do.

Using "evidence" that literally is just people talking amongst themselves, and doesn't actually come from Borg, is seriously what you consider to be factual?

[Some pretty serious allegations regarding borg and his scripts]

Borg routinely makes dry jokes. Him deleting a group chat because he was threatened to have it leaked, only to have a massive portion of it remain, is nothing. Deliberately ignoring signs that point otherwise isn’t the way to “catch” someone.

I'm not as young as you're making me sound 😛 I've been in this game a long time too. I've experienced plenty without bots. But just to elaborate on my previous example: I used to spend 3-4 hours every week or two during wars to keep track of member safekeeping manually. That's a lot of time. Is it doable? Sure. But can I be using that time much more effectively elsewhere? Absolutely. There's no doubt whatsoever that spending 3 hours a week with my members during a war is a much better use of my time than 3 hours a week on a spreadsheet. 

He has a seemingly good talent with talking to people with a superior accent, as well as if handfuls of us aren’t adults, with kids, jobs, etc. I decided not to reply after he addressed my response, in a similar manner to you.

It appears both his alliance discord server AND his alliance funds are being held hostage at this moment. This casts a dark shadow over the good faith and motivations of the accused and should raise some concerns with those using Locutus services.

You didn’t mention that Spanky is leader ingame, nor did you share these screenshots that beg to make your narrative questionable. Also, why is everyone ignoring the guy saying that Borg didn’t exploit, that he was hitting super rich targets?

Hey, you did the thing this time, the 72 hour thing

[Development Team Update, January 2022.]

If you have 13/14 Project Slots, and then purchase Research and Development Center, you gain *an additional net slot*, meaning, you now have 14/16 slots.

Or, for a more clear example, if you are maxed on project slots, you could destroy a resource project, put this new project in, get your resource project back, as well as another project.

.... its not .9% either, its about 5 percent. Based on your numbers, they exaggerated by 10x, and you only exaggerated by 5x, so i guess you win, by exaggerating less?

It was maybe 2am when I posted this tbh, and I definitely didn’t divide it incorrectly (definitely did). Yeah, it’s just about dead even on 5%
