I'm not sure about this one; both nations are brand new so there's no real history to overlap yet. Please take a look.

i appreciate the effort but this would make wars too destructive. i think the -15 thing on beige is a good idea though, and noobs should be put into their own color. (noob nougat or something?)
What do you care? You spend all your time on beige. (And you know I have the screenshot to prove it!)
But I agree that this rework hasn't been thought through.

These are just random ideas to buff raiding. Some are good, most are terrible. They are just here for people to brainstorm.
1) Give attackers (or defenders) an option to surrender. Not truce. Surrender. (You attack a guy who has nothing on him, and his stuff is hidden in a bank. (Or he has no power, etc.) Why waste 48 hours on the guy?)
2) Create Generals, Admirals, etc, that can accrue 2xp points per battle.
3) Force it so you have to deploy troops to a certain battle before attacking. Or move them to a certain city when defending.
4) Add an option so that you can buy technology for your cities which will help raiding.
5) Add an option to espionage so that your spies can change the DefCon level of the defending nation, and throw them into chaos. Or at least change their military option, say from Fortress to Turtle.
These are my ideas which clearly are my own and don't come from any other games, obviously. They are just here for people to brainstorm!

Hey,
I'm playing on a university network, so there might be nations sharing the same network.
Thanks.

Hmmm. There isn't much I can say beyond that. However, I can add that I am still in Atom two or three months later since I posted that, so I guess I've now been in it about 5 months. That is as solid a recommendation as I can make, since before Atom I tried a few other alliances for a week or two each. But Atom is great. For people who like to cooperate and coordinate, there is a place for you. For people who want to be independent kings, there is a place for you. For quiet people and for people who ramble all over Discord, there is a place for you. Morale is high, and most players remain active. Sadly, the $300 grand guy has moved on to TKR with his 8th nation, but I think everyone else is still there, and we continue to grow.
I put my own money where my mouth is, and so once I wrote this that post I realized I liked Atom enough to volunteer for it, so now I dabble a bit in IA and FA. (And coordinate with MA as needed.) Low Gov slots are always open for those who want to train and learn, so if this aspect interests you, then for this I also recommend Atom. Learn from the best, most seasoned Cardinals in the game!

Oi oi!
Sardinia and Corsica are on YOUR block, selling their services/soul to the best pitch. I don't care for your spam mail, your generic and impersonal attempts to get me to select your alliance. If you think I'm just some regular newbie, think again. I've got style, unlike the rest of these beige fools. I played before, retaining 0 knowledge and not being a big enough deal for you to know who I am... But I'm the hottest free agent in town. So what's it gonna be?
Ah, looks like you've already chosen the $yndicate's Enterprise Academy. Well, good luck with your 96 hour interview! Welcome to Orbis!

You may use this page to check for nations with the same Unique ID. Remember, just because two nations are on the same network does not mean they are cheating or breaking the rules. We will allow multiple nations on the same network, so long as they are following the Game Rules. Nations can be considered cheating (and should be reported) if they're sending "sweetheart" bank withdrawals or trades (think buying 1 food at $1,000,000) for example.

finally , stfu those people complaining about micros posting here. AA affairs is aa affairs no matter what the size.
No, the dictionary definition of "alliance" requires that there be at least two members involved. You are one boy alone.
One boy alone is not an AA. Go recruit people.

What an interesting thread!
I really enjoy these OWF posts as I find them very illuminating. Sure, a thread like this is ostensibly a declaration of war but it also is an education in alliance politics and how many of the people in this game feel about each other.

Alright, I've been thinking. I've been thinking about the huge value that Orbis as a whole places on the split between In Character and Out of Character - especially after NPOLT. And what I've figured out is that this is an artificial dichotomy. There is no truely In Character experience that wholly separates itself from the person's Out Of Character political beliefs.
Would you really expect a non-leftist to join United Socialist Nations or Advanced Syndicalist Mechanics? Would you expect a non-Muslim to join United Ummah? Or would you expect someone who doesn't like capitalism even a little to join The Syndicate / The Enterprise, or The Company?
Let's even look outside alliances. When you created your nation, what did you go for? Me? I went for an anarchist commune because I am an anarcho-communist. While I am sure there are unicorns (there always are) who are, say, American Republicans who made a nation LARPing as a Neoliberal nation, that is almost certainly not the case for the vast majority of people playing Politics & War. It's a game where people tend to make themselves as a nation - and that includes their OOC politics.
"But when we mean OOC we mean how GOONS made people eat dog food!" Nope. No you don't, let's be real here. It's completely okay to discuss someone's political beliefs when you completely agree with them - but as soon as it's a disagreement, the cry about OOC is cried and all debate is closed down. Y'know the people who complain about new leftist alliances because "communism sucks"? It's certainly not because they hate communism in real life or something. [Although I will concede about the generic names, hence my specificity with reasoning.]
This false distinction between OOC and IC politics has gone on too long, and makes no rational sense upon further scrutiny. It is merely used as a weapon to shut off debates you don't like - and it is making actual political discussion a stigma outside your safe space - kinda a bad thing in a game called Politics & War.
TL;DR Your Orbis nation and alliance reflect your OOC politics. It is folly to say otherwise - this split between OOC and IC politics is completely artificial and useless.
This is complete nonsense. You completely misunderstand what people mean when they say "Don't take IC stuff personally in an OOC way." This isn't Nation States where there is an in-game United Nations and you get to debate policy and law; this is a wargame, and any politics is just flavoring here. Every nation has cities with the same 20 buildings; whether I role play as Democratic or Republican, if you attack me I'd better have some planes and tanks or stuff or I'm going to get beiged. We could both be Democrats, or Communists but if I'm in Alliance 1 and you're in Alliance 2, and they are at war then you are attacking me, end of story. If we're in the same alliance but I'm a Democrat and you're a Communist, I am still coming to your aid if you need a counter.
Now, some people do take IC stuff in an OOC way; maybe they got whomped on in a war, people were a !@#$ to them, and now they nurse a grudge. But that's nothing to do with politics and instead it is just the human need to go for a rematch or 'best 2 out of 3.' Play any war game long enough and you are going to accrue allies and enemies on the map, but most of these people still all go to the same Orbis radio shows and voice chats. No one plays a game like this for the wars or the politics: those who stay do stay because they like or are amused by the people they've met.
I can't tell if you're mean-spirited by nature or just deliberately misunderstanding stuff to be mean, but either way, cut the crap and grow up. I don't know you, but if people are telling you to differentiate between IC and OOC, they mean stop being a sore loser; it's nothing to do with politics or war.

So it turns out that war is a vastly different experience than peace. Many of you guys reading the OWF are veterans from CN and elsewhere, but I just started in 2021. Played the game for a month or two, deleted my nation, came back a month or two later in April and so this is my first war where I'm a target. Last time around I helped out with some spying and some counters but this time I'm getting blasted to smithereens.
Which is okay. I'd be annoyed if I lost a 1 on 1, but going down to 5 to 1 is something I can live with. If I couldn't handle the fact that you have to lose some battles to win a war, I wouldn't be playing a game with the word 'war' in the title. It's a good teaching moment; I'm learning the value of various units that I never used when just raiding inactives, plus I'm seeing the synergy of how 3 or 4 well coordinated guys can really do a number on someone they're focused on. I don't like it, but at least now I understand why certain large alliances have policies I consider Draconian and cookie-cutter and min/max and whatever: they work. Stuff I chafed against in peacetime now makes much more sense. I'll tip my hat to Allend (and Frank, Canbec and the rest) as a guy who's doing a good job coordinating his guys.
Anyway, I'll just dust myself off and keep plugging away. One advantage of having just a few cities with just a little infra in each is that it won't cost me anything except time to rebuild; I've raided enough cash and resources that rebuilding will be easy so I'm not concerned with any damage inflicted on my nation by anyone else. War: it is what it is; I appreciate the insights (of why certain alliances do what they do) that this war experience has given me.

That was well-written.

All the Alliance advertisements i have seen come off like slimy snake oil salesmen and i heard the meta taxation is to just take everything from the members and have them get their resources only through war. Frankly i don't wanna be an alliances money farm and wanna be able to play how i want and attack who i want.
And whenever i hear the 100/100 taxers talk about it "benefitting small nations the most" and getting "huge sums of grants" i feel like im looking at a pyramid scheme advertisement.
I also personally don't find it appealing having to go through days of application processes.
Is it possible to go solo or will i be easy prey alone?
I guess you answered your own question:
This nation does not exist. It was either deleted automatically for inactivity, or the player controlling the nation deleted their account. Visit your nation, or go to the search page.
While many people do not join alliances, quite a few of those countries get deleted for inactivity, just as you went inactive, because people are mostly social animals. And those who congregate in packs often hunt those who are solo, so first you're alone, and second you're being raided and beiged and raided again.

So this happened:
One day-- let's call it Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on your time zone, but a day or so back at any rate, government Deacon Mr. Pennywise, one of the loveable winners in my current training alliance decided it was his goal in life to attack every applicant that ever existed in another alliance's applicant queue. By my count he's attacked 40 or so in his last 50 attacks. Apparently this is an allowed, okay thing in Orbis, since 96% of you guys either didn't know or didn't care about this enough to do anything. Anyway, TKR did. They immediately did a full body counter, and suddenly one war against TKR was now 4 battles: one raid and three counters.
So far so good. I would say this happens all the time, but clearly 96% of the time it doesn't. But anyway, so far so good. Our Atom guy panics, wets himself, wets me, wets some water, wets be fwiends, and then wets himself again. Then he dries himself off and goes to the TKR Discord. Not the Slack. Not the TKR forums. He goes to the TKR Discord and writes "I demand to speak to the FA of TKR" 5 or 6 times. Hilarity ensues. If I remember right, the Fluffy Assistant appears, then the Fire Arsenal, the Field Agent, and whatever a Faaaaaaaaaaaiya Aaawork is. You'd expect a First-ideal Adrienne, but no such luck; no other F.A.s from TKR appeared, though a few random FAs of various micros that were in the TKR server stepped forth. There was a bit more polite, pleasant cheery banter of the sort that usually proceeds fisticuffs or a melee brawl, and then TKR did its thing, won its little meme war with Pennywise....
and our government guy Pennywise decided to open an IA ticket and was promptly masked as a TKR applicant.
He was in our serving memorizing various oaths and ideals, bought himself a little spren plushie on Etsy, and started reading Sanderson at the rest of us in our voice chat. Even so, he apparently failed his entrance exam and was eventually returned to us a little older and not a bit wiser. Canbec took away his TKR applicant mask.
I am not making this up. However for the cynical amongst you:
Aglet Green — 08/10/2021
I was wondering why Pennywise is a TKR applicant in your server
Canbec — 08/10/2021
Ah that'd be why. I'll remove that mask
Aglet Green — 08/10/2021
Don't be premature. We'll give him to you for Kirk and two guys to be named later.Canbec — 08/10/2021
How is that a fair trade?Aglet Green — 08/10/2021
It's totally not a fair trade.Canbec — 08/10/2021
I mean you can definitely keep Kirk and Joe but we can't give you a thirdAglet Green — 08/10/2021
Fair point. -

Well. I hope you have success in your future endeavors.
Well, I have been seriously thinking about buying Politics and War. I figure it's worth about $16,000.00 dollars, though I'm willing to go as high as $18,000.00. Oh I'm sure Alex wants some ridiculous figure for it, maybe $20,000.00 or $25,000.00 dollars, but I'm willing to haggle. Up to $18 thousand.
If you mean in-game endeavors... well we will see how it goes.

Ah yes, Sri is actually the shadow leader of half a dozen other alliances, thank you for exposing his plot to fund his new cities 😉
And yet you can't deny that the first two numbers of each of their creation date years are "2" and "0." Coincidence? I think not. And the third number is either a "1" or a "2." Harsh evidence, my friend.

I have no reason to doubt this:
Do they need to be verified, or is that optional?
