Times flies. Another 90 days have gone by. In 48 hours, I will have achieved my personal goal of a billion dollars raided as a C3. I also found that since rerolling back in April I have pretty much just been in one alliance for the last 3 or 4 months: Atom. I think I was in TAP for about a week or two, then I've been in CoA ever since. I feel it is a good alliance for me, and I think it is an alliance that is currently in a rebuilding phase and may very well surprise people in the fall and in 2022. That being the case, and now that I've been around a few months, I've decided to step up and take a Low Gov position in FA. Perhaps I'm a leader of countries; perhaps not, but the only way to find out is to apprentice myself out and try my hand at stuff. We'll see how it goes.

I woke up today and realized I was in Atom for over three months which is pretty good as I've only been around in the country since April. (I had a previous country for about a month or two.) That being the case, I will say that the Convent does live up to its word as far as giving away freebies. As a completely average person with less cities than anyone reading the OWF, I have been given 175 million dollars by the Convent simply for being alive and doing my Aglet thing every month. Church Of Atom Bank Agletia Pimitivo $5,000,000.00 Church Of Atom Bank Agletia Pimitivo $42,000,000.00 Church Of Atom Bank Agletia Pimitivo $5,000,000.00 Church Of Atom Bank Agletia Pimitivo $5,000,000.00 Church Of Atom Bank Agletia Pimitivo $5,000,000.00 Church Of Atom Bank Agletia Pimitivo $38,500,000.00 Church Of Atom Bank Agletia Pimitivo $5,000,000.00 Church Of Atom Bank Agletia Pimitivo $5,000,000.00 Church Of Atom Bank Agletia Pimitivo $5,000,000.00 Church Of Atom Bank Agletia Pimitivo $5,000,000.00 Church Of Atom Bank Agletia Pimitivo $5,000,000.00 Church Of Atom Bank Agletia Pimitivo $34,500,000.00 Church Of Atom Bank Agletia Pimitivo $5,000,000.00 Church Of Atom Bank Agletia Pimitivo $5,000,000.00 Church Of Atom Bank Agletia Pimitivo $5,000,000.00 So the Convent does live up to its boast of "We have Free Resources/Free Cities + 5 mil or more giveaways!" There's plenty of money given away, and for those who desire it, there are free resources (food, uranium, etc.) There's also a daily giveaway (not a lottery since you don't have to buy in or pay anything, just a random giveaway) and if you think I'm at the upper end of those who have gotten Atom money.... no. There are Convent members like Issohighlyenergeticheiscrazy who have gotten $300,000,000 from the Bank of Atom. While this may be nothing if you have 20+ cities, for new and old players with 15 or less cities this is a good deal. Now, besides money, why should you join the Church or Convent? After all it's not a #1 alliance like Rose! Well, first of all, we are currently allied with Rose so you do gain the benefit of having those guys without the downsides of having to follow any draconian mandates on what to do with your country. There are also many great mentors who have been in other alliances (and other games, such as CN) who are always willing to share their knowledge with other players, there are openings in Gov for those who wish to pursue the path of political power, and there are a raft of various discord games and party games (right now CoA is hosting 'summer games') going on right now. I give the Church/Convent two thumbs up.

Was the forum recently changed or upgraded or something? It looks different. My little green box of love (well, likes) is missing, and there's some spaceship icons and stuff about levels I don't remember seeing before. I went looking in the appropriate place "Forum announcements about the forum" but there were no memos there about any recent changes. What's up? What's going on?

That is correct. A quick glance at the Nations page reveals a country called Gamers ruled by a guy initialed P o. https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=343016

and don't have any issues. Those two thing aren't mutually exclusive. But I'm glad your computer doesn't have any issues. Anyway, I figured out the problem-- my particular browser page was counting page 25 (the game itself wasn't) and somehow between the game and the browser, I wasn't getting any credit. Basically the problem was that MY 24 hour cycle and the game's 24 hour cycle are two different time zones, so the browser counted my last few ad-watchings from the previous "day" even though for me it was Tuesday. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButForMeItWasTuesday

Also, the real King Arthur was Welsh. I know the stories and legends have been twisted through time, but they never were able to find any actual English or British or Scottish or Irish king that minted coins with the name Arthur on it, but there was some minor prince like 1500 years ago up in around Wales somewhere with a name close enough to Arthur that it could be him. Obviously he wasn't King of England, just the first guy to do whatever he did, maybe unite 6 villages together into a town, or a several towns into a county, but stuff like that forever keeps growing in the retelling. I don't have the link to the article discussing this anymore, but the professor who wrote about it made some good points about this being the most plausible genesis.

I have a feeling that this is actually a problem with my browser than with the game, but posting here to let other people know: Change the browser window that you watch reward-ads in every day, or the game may end up miscounting. I ended up 'losing' $240,000.00 (three times $80,000.00) due to my own carelessness. As you can see below, I watched 16 ads between log-ins, and only got credited for 13. As that's basically a single raid for me (and I do 24 raids daily) I don't care about getting the money. This is just a head's up. 06/24 12:01 am Your daily military purchase limits have been reset.

This is a solid idea. You are clearly a man of finesse and fortitude. I expect any alliance would be proud to count you among its members. Rose is probably feeling pretty good about their treaty with CoA knowing you are in it. Deebo just points to you and his FA job gets 100% easier when talking with other alliances. I'd commend your nation, but apparently I already did.

I'm hearing good things about Exodus Part 2--- oh never mind, I see you joined Chocolate Castle! Have fun!

So I woke up this morning and this happened. Congrats to us, I guess.

Good to know. Did you know that your first city is the original spelling of Cardiff? My friend Siân told me that back in college.

Man, this BETTER not be another message to join Exodus already.

I see nothing wrong with this. Each time you 'surrender,' you lose 3 MAPS and 10 resistance points and the attacker gets an automatic Immense Triumph with a random assortment of loot (equal to 125% of what they'd have gotten in an attack on you). It would then be treated like an offer of Truce, and it would be up to the attacker to agree to the Truce or to keep attacking.

While this isn't the best idea I've seen today--- that would have to instead be "let's turn this game into a game like Minecraft or Roblox"-- this is still a really good idea. The combat in this game would be immeasurable more useful if you could gain XP experience points for battles. And to address the main issue that people would have against this: how to keep those who prefer farming and resource selling instead of raiding still vested. Well, the answer is totally simple. They would get Resistance experience points or perhaps Infrastructure experience points. Some PvE exp to compensate for not getting PvP exp, at any rate.

I like the Roblox idea. Let's make Politics and War a 3D game made in Unity, where you attack other nations through FPS first person shooting of your soldiers against their soldiers. You'd get resources by digging voxel squares from other countries, and your airplanes would be assembled from those same squares and used to shoot down their country. I play Roblox with my 13 year old nephew, so I can totally see this as possible. Instead of having to click a button to build a city, you'd have to assemble it yourself like a Lego City building kit. And while you're trying to build it, other people will be sending 3D units at you. I know whenever I'm trying to build something in Roblox, my nephew is laughing his ass off smashing planes and cars into my structures. In fact, there's not a single aspect of Politics and War that can't be improved in this manner by switching the programming language to C#. I figure it would take Alex anywhere from 15 minutes to 43 years to do this, but it's totally doable and possible. This is truly the most awesome idea to make P&W less boring, Kangerson!

What happens when Luna joins Black Skies? (As the 54th Alliance that Luna joins this month... see my own post in Luna's thread for details on 1) why I'm not making this up and 2) why I'm willing to bet that this WILL happen, eventually. Though for all I know Luna has joined Black Skies for a few days previously...)

Seriously? The 53 other alliances Luna was in wasn't enough for you? (See my first post in this thread, directly under the OP if you think I'm exaggerating; I only went back a week or two; I know Luna was in the Immortals as well.)

I don't know what his CURRENT name is, but some guy formerly named Roberts went ahead and did this already. He even has a Discord for it and everything; all Politics and War nations are welcome to join as the leader of your nation. You can play it straight or roleplay, but either way you are encouraged to participate. And yes, there is lots of voting on stuff. You will probably really enjoy it.

I dabble in computer programming. I don't know what language your code is written in, but it's clear to me that some line has a typo on it. Specifically, one of the lines used to subtract MAPs. Because MAPS are used in so many different ways (seal, air, land, etc) then I'm guessing there's a subroutine or function or something where you have a line equivalent to "MAP = MAP - 3" written out a bunch of ways. One of those ways has a typo in it. Technically, everything else is working correctly; if MAPs were being subtracted properly, all other war bugs would vanish. So in my opinion, start with whatever function is supposed to subtract MAPS, and see if there's a typo, a missing semicolon or whatever.

Sir this is a Wendys. A Wendys that closed on September 13, 2020, come to think of it. Perhaps you'd be best served by creating another suggestion thread with that idea about a Pollution Project, though.

Now we're talking!

All of life is pay-to-win, though sometimes the Internet gives the illusion of fairness sometimes, maybe. But since you're a VIP with many cities, ranked #174 of 40,727 Nations (0.43%) you should change that to openly and honestly say "Isn't this just catering to people like myself?"
