Do you prefer the leaky faucet analogy better? Just fix your opsec, I get it's embarrassing to have leaks but adding this level of salt is only bound to corrode the issue further.

I'm loving the public spin to try and make these initial terms to be discussed look as unreasonable as possible. Props to you guys for going the route of swaying public opinion instead of coming to the negotiation table, kind of like how it kickstarted this entire debacle when you approached us with an offer then revoked it and gave us an insulting one without any evidence backing it months later after taking any form of negotiation off the table. The money is solely an attempt at a formal dissolution of the bank at the original numbers provided to us, which was expected to be negotiated. The scar of NPOLT has everyone jittery whenever "reparations" are brought up despite the fact this whole war was kicked off due to us not coming to a resolution over the payment to HS. It isn't some cruel punishment but a reconciliation of accounts. The food clause can be argued, but was added due to the prevalence of availability of food and would help the long-term pricing due to supply/demand. The rest are meme clauses.

I love how the title of this is Carthago's Guide for Dummies: Finance 101 while giving us a spreadsheet of just how terribly managed their finances were when they approached us with an offer.

Having started my journey as a plebeian junior associate and making my way to the North, it's a bittersweet moment seeing one of the longest standing treaties end and having us part ways, but I'm excited to see where each of our paths lead us. Best of luck to T$, and Long Live the King in the North ❤️

Wishing you guys the best, I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds for ya

The following is of my own opinion and similar to belly buttons in that everyone has one, not everyone may enjoy mine 1. I'd prefer to keep it in line with the resource project bonus and have it's effectiveness end at C15. 2-5. Increase the maximum login bonus to $3M for everyone and $6M for new players. Still keeps the catchup mechanic and incentivizes activity for older players. Change the daily increase to $100k per day. 6. The only alternative I would offer to the current setup is to double/triple the range in which they can be targeted. Allows some of the smaller nations to still dip into the smaller targets, or not be forced to delete cities to be in range, but I think the meta for them raiding is purely optional, as some alliances will opt to boost members to c10 right as soon as they can with all of the new player bonuses. If the range is removed completely: - You would need to adjust how nations coming off of beige who are active get auto-put on gray allowing c12-20 to get targeted by fully milled C40's, or else that would be absolutely abused. - I would be interested to see how that would affect wars if everyone's slots were used to raid inactives'. I'd also be concerned about the veterans abusing it will simultaneously pushing the newer players with less experience beige sniping and finding targets in general out. In summarization: Expand the range if people feel the need for raiding to be more accessible, but I think it's a fair and optional meta. 7. Leave the inactive range the same, 7 Days. I don't feel there is a strong need for this to be changed. 8. Obviously the chicken. Anyone else who says otherwise is eggtremely mistaken. 9. Ye

I'm a personal fan of the feature where attacks don't cost any MAP's but still do damage.

So Alex can sucker people into spending credits unnecessarily.
