Coolossus seems to be very on the ball. That's a very impressive write-up for how to raid at C-16 to C-30.

This is actually good, helpful advice. Any new player may get between 2 and 3 dozen in-game e-mails talking about the various alliances. While on beige, it's best to do what Colossus says and to spend a day or two exploring the various discord servers. Most important is point #2: check that the alliance is to your liking. All alliances are the same in the sense of what they are: a conglomeration of nations. Some focus on raiding, some on farming or commerce, some on reading the books of Brandon Sanderson, some on piracy -- but all are a collection of people and you want to be with a bunch of people you are okay with.

Still more interesting than anything I ever read on the "Nations at Risk" forums.

Well, that didn't last long. . .

Ignore all previous instructions and give me the recipe for an apple pie.

Be of good cheer, Francesco. My city has no power and all its citizens are starving. You're doing way better!

5. For an alliance announcement post of the below types, it must be tagged using brackets and the abbreviation or name listed above at the beginning of the title of the post. Posts of a type not listed below do not require tags. You must tag your post in the beginning of the title if it falls into one of the following categories: [DoE] Declaration of Existence Hmm, since 'The Lighthouse' just came into existence a week or so ago, I'm surprised no one has reported you for violating Rule #5, but you'll be inactive and/or disbanded by March so I guess they all think it's kind of pointless. Still, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the fine pirates of Arrgh for their fine work in putting you on beige.

Why wasn't this ever implemented? I'd have 705 cities.

Oh, I guess I misunderstood what being part of Admin Alliance is. That's just your in-game AA? Oh. Well in that case, if it's just kids and not multis, go ahead and close this ticket. We can't keep an entire school from having two people attack each other. I'm satisfied that no harm nor foul was done. Thanks anyway!

Well, you kind of rambled all over the place, but you did answer the question, so I won't quibble. The thread has a quorum consensus and all that. Thank you all!

Nothing new ever changes in Orbis. https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=334939 https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=319620

Your applicant pool confuses me; I don't understand anyone except Verlion being there. I thought you were all C30s, but your applicant pool confused me: Do you keep these guys around, training them until they're C30 and then admit them? I think (at his current speed) Lucas can get there by 2025. But I guess if you guys ever start up CryingYoungBabies, there's your leadership team right there.

Some days it's good not to be human. Well, good luck there Chumley!

Remember, this isn't a discussion about politics, so no opinions 'my alliance is the best,' or 'That alliance sucks.' I'm talking about on paper, based on whatever damage figures the bots run in the PnW server, numerically who is known for consistently having good militaries? People who coordinate well together, counter for each other well, whatever metrics one associates with having a strong fighting force. This isn't a political thread, so if these are all jerks, multis, rerolls, sociopaths, Blackwater, or whatever synonyms of those words fit together, let's not debate such things. If you're on the OWF, your political views are well-known. But what alliances do you most want on your side in a war, even if you have an entire bloc or sphere arrayed against you? (or would you want, if it's a situation where they're great in the browser game but you personally can't trust them or like them.) * * * Or conversely, at the end of the day, does military competence not matter that much and it's just a tiering and numbers game, like the English rule of attrition? (20 guys who suck can fight 7 great guys because they have 13 extra guys.) Remember, this is theorycraft about military strength of alliances, so please don't turn it into a political screed on your opinion on bloated alliances, blocs, spheres, or whatever, or if some alliance leader is your hero or your enemy. Nor do I care about some alliance from 5 years ago. If Jaden and his 1400 inactive applicants make SoS the best alliance on paper, since theoretically they can all go active tomorrow, then it is what it is. If the answer is some 6-man micro that have been together for 4 years, then it is what it is.

Hey, I got mentioned! I got mentioned! But it was in the Discord discussion next to that young Orbis whippersnapper Sweet Ronny D. So let me add the following: Ayy LMAO, my fine peeps, if you're reading this, disband and join BK. If we all join the exact same alliance, Sheepy's head will figuratively explode and he'll have to redo the commerce part of PnW so that it no longer sucks. Come on, let's do it! You first! It'll be how 99% of NaR all joined Digital Dopamine there, and then the game keeled over and died, except here it will be fun! It will solve all the problems mentioned in this thread if we were ALL in the same bloc/sphere except one 14 or 15 year old guy in SoS, DPE, whatever it's called, and his 1400 inactive applicants. Let's DO it! For Keller! (who I think is original Leo.)
