this isn't as bad a DoW as people are making it out to be, pretty straight to the point. I'm a bit surprised to see TEst being attacked as well, I was only expecting you to hit tS and those allied to them

too lazy to play ranked pretty bad though

</3 I thought I was going to be the new weekly guest

teach me how to do all the tech shit and I'll host next week's

Rose so I could coup pubstomper and rule the world also because I know pretty much all of their members but I've never actually joined. interested to see how it is on the inside

In his defense, if you take in somebody already in wars you can't expect to force peace. It's something you should try for, sure, but threatening further war is ridiculous - particularly if you're an alliance as small as Utopia, who couldn't really even back it up.

Those alliances are actually only on there because they once had treaties and they no longer exist. Not saying that we shouldn't consider showing the untied alliances, but that's the only reason those are there.

Not what I was saying. I was saying nobody else could counter SFW if they engaged, not that EoS couldn't defend themselves. Though since the treaty apparently expired, that point is null anyways.

Interesting, since SU has probably the most treaties of anyone outside of the top 10 (though admittedly most of them are to dead alliances) I wonder if League of Nations or Socialist Workers Front will get involved. SWF's technically obligated to, and no micros could really counter them because of the UPN bloc.

I heard Tenages goes to Home Depot and picks up migrant workers and pays them to choke him in the shower.

Are SK treaties even valid if they're legible? o/ guys, congrats on the treaty

Interestingly, it seems that small alliances are becoming a lot more powerful than they used to be. A couple weeks ago, it took about 8000 score to hit the top 30 - now it takes over 11000. That's a pretty big difference in a fairly small time frame. Just comparing the growth rates of almost any alliances ranks 21-30 to the alliances ranked 1-10, there isn't a very big difference but in general the growth actually favors the smaller alliances.

This week on Politics and War -removed by administration for filter evasion-

Back in the top 20 Now for the top 10

Sometimes it's not possible to get it in a decent quality (because SoundCloud/YouTube rips aren't exactly high quality, and not all songs are downloadable) That and, you know, copyright law or just trying to credit the original unloader.

Fixed it.

I've sent you an in-game PM

I sent you a message in-game, we can talk some.

This is one article citing that a small nuclear conflict could cause starvation of over a billion people (though admittedly this source is biased and should be taken with a grain of salt - the website is very specifically anti-nuclear) This is one from a weather website discussing the possible effects of the nuclear winter, much less biased. It cites that at least a few years of major widespread crop failure would take place, followed by at least a decade of massively reduced crop yield. This is yet another one citing similar numbers. Worth noting that all of these articles site what would happen with around 100 of the smallest nukes available in the world - at the peak of the cold war, there were over 70,000 between the US and USSR, and the average was probably ten times the size of these. The amount of fallout that all of those could cause is almost impossible to accurately measure, but it would be pretty horrible.

That projection assumes a lot of things about how everything will go down, and the way that everything else goes down would vary significantly based off of those early days. Just to quote the page itself, "Certainly the predictions described here are uncertain: for example, casualty figures in the U.S. are accurate perhaps to within 30% for the first few days, but the number of survivors in the U.S. after one year could differ from these figures by as much as a factor of four". The most notable assumption is just how many people would be killed by starving and collapsed governments. We don't have exact numbers on that, but many estimates are much higher than the one you provided: it's very possible that for years, there would be almost no crop yields.

ALLIANCE DIRECTORY Alliances are sorted alphabetically. You can request to have an alliance added to the directory by replying to this thread or messaging me in-game, if you're in the top 50. Alliances who hit the top 20 in-game will be automatically added. All IRC channels located at irc.coldfront.net, unless otherwise indicated.
