Godspeed, minutemen. It was a pleasure fighting by your side.

Interesting stuff, thanks for crunching the numbers for us lazy people

The humming of trucks filled the morning, and the bloodied bodies of soldiers from Waffle House and the Perpetual Bloc filled the bloodied battlefield. After nearly a week of fighting the soldiers had already grown tired of constant rebuilding, especially considering their previous rebuild had been interrupted by a rabid group of guys wearing makeshift fast-food uniforms. More trucks were seen moving over the horizon, and they kept swarming in to gather the bodies. That was until a truck bearing the flag of The Federation appeared just over the horizon. Kosta could make out Tugger, the Lord of Ambassadors, as one of the faces riding in the truck. The truck approached rapidly, and as it just barely stopped Tugger jumped out. “They did it! Finally!” Tugger tried to breathe more calmly, but couldn’t. Hemlock looked at him with confusion, then Tugger handed him a piece of paper. Kosta took the paper and read it over, eyes wide before jumping up excitedly. “Is peace finally taking the course for The Perpetuals bloc?” Kosta asked. Tugger didn't answer, but instead hurried away towards the Military High Command camp behind them, they barged in as plans for another offensive were made. Asclepius, WebsterAve, Ketagaming, and a confusing assortment of guys wearing marine corp uniforms with Los Pollos hats were arguing over their next move, and looked up in surprise as Tugger rushed in. “Well, well, take a look at this boys.” Asclepius said, slamming the piece of paper on the table. It was a missive from the enemy, begging for the Perpetuals to cease their counter attacks and offering to dissolve their alliance as placation. There was also a bucket of ice cream attached to the note. Ketagaming grabbed it and began eating it messily. “Well, I’ll be damned. Finally!” Hemlock stated. “Scrap the plans then. Rally the soldiers, we have won!” The swarm of generals walked outside of the tent ready to tell the big news. Tugger looked down at the articles of surrender he had so carefully drafted: alas, so much work spent on nothing. 1. Waffle House will admit surrender. 2. Waffle House will retract and renounce their CB. 3. Waffle House will pay The Perpetual Bloc $1.5B in reparations. 4. 2 month NAP (length negotiable) 5. All current wars end naturally, and no further declarations after DC on 11/07/22. TL;DR: The resurgent Waffle House crumbles to pieces under the weight of their own unjustified CB as the Perpetuals band together to defend their own. The Perpetuals bloc declares victory. Signed: The Federation: Kosta, King Khronox, Prince Tugger, Lord Ambassador Asclepius, Lord Marshal Soldiers of Liberty: Indigo, Commander in Chief Hemlock, Executive Officer Sainthunta The Elites: Uhtred the Great, King Rt Hon B Johnson, Minister of FA Ketagaming, Chief of Defense Union of Soviet Socialist Republics: Mao Zedong, Premier Maple the Firefly, Ministry of FA And, the unexpected allies of SMC

Can confirm that it has nothing to do with TFed's intentions. It's from old logs from way back before WH disbanded, spoken of speculatively by members that aren't in the alliance anymore. So yeah

I'm gonna need a source

So, your overall recommendation to fix this issue would be for more forum communication and a slightly heavier emphasis on formality/RP?

Tempted to downvote for not referencing "Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads in the title or body. Looking forward to seeing what amusing advice is given.

It's worth noting that this might end up slightly skewed (selection bias?) since the people who enjoy interacting with the community/ enjoy political intrigue the most are the ones going on the forums anyway. Similarly, anyone who is on pnw because of time sunk into it is unlikely to be on the forums.

Since I'm a smoothbrain and apparently can't make the quote function work for me, @Jacob Knox A. It's a propaganda thread (not necessarily true/not holding true in all times or places. In other words, for the memes) B. Since you took the time to view my nation page, I suppose you must have also noticed how heavily I have been downdeclared (and I voluntarily updeclared in some cases to help out my allies). Military strategy isn't always needed if one possesses overwhelming strength

The Fighting Pacifists fight like a bunch of pacifists; that is, like people who don't have a clue how to fight

Earth shakes,Stone breaksThe forest is at your doorThe dark sleep is brokenThe woods have awokenThe trees have gone to warRoots rend, wood bendsThe Federation has answered the callThrough branches now the wind singsFeel the power of living thingsThe Feds have gone to war Bloody battles ahead, may the better bloc win

Maybe I'm just very new, but the discord messages shown look more humorous than anything (i.e. they're only a joke). The allegations of a hostage server could use substantiation, but if true, lends strong credence to the claims above.

It's specifically meant to help producers at lower city levels without totally breaking resource markets at whale tiers. It's intended to do nothing for C16+

1. The leaders of Blackwater and Clock admit that they have the smallest of black clocks 2. House Stark must change their motto to "The South forgets" 3. Every alliance in the game gets to make a secret MDP with another alliance, and no one is ever allowed to question their validity I'm out of ideas, will add more later if I think of some

Very nice indeed, I like the attention to history... and more importantly, the attention to F O O D

Noice, that is quite a thought-out factbook! I like it, and I like how detailed your descriptions of different ministries are.

Lol, I was not expecting the GoT and The Office mashup, that was pretty good

When I have some time on my hands (which is not terribly frequent) I sometimes see if the nation factbooks of my enemies and friends are filled out with anything interesting. Most times, they are sad, empty spaces, with little of interest within (if anything, which is much more frequently the case). So. Are you bored like me? Link me some interesting factbooks for my perusal and for that of other curious, bored people. And yes, I do actually have a fully filled-out factbook (I'm not a hypocrite—in this case, at least)

Ah, interesting. Is it supposed to change every hour (as it currently appears to)? Or is that just a display issue?

So, I have been keeping track of my approval rating on the leaderboards because it is the only leaderboard that my nation is on. I noticed something weird about it over the last few days. After reducing my pollution to 0, my approval rating increased by about 0.15 points at 1PM CT today to 1,217.05. However, on the hours that are NOT turns, my approval rating drops by just over 1 full point. (As of 2PM CT today, my approval rating dropped from 1,217.05 to 1,215.99. It is important to emphasize that the turn change for me was 1PM CT, not 2). Then, just now (3PM CT, another turn), my score dropped again to 1,214.78. I have looked at the info about approval rating on the wiki (https://politicsandwar.fandom.com/wiki/Approval_Rating), so I am aware of the effect that wars and espionage have on it. My pollution is zero, and my population density is very low (20.86). I have plenty of food, money, and resources to power my cities, so there shouldn't be anything draining my approval on those parts. Sorry I don't have any screenshots. If necessary, I can make some over time. I guess I am just confused as to whether or not this is working correctly, especially regarding the changes that do not occur on turns (since I thought the wheels of the game only changed on turns). My nation link: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=310694 The Highest Approval leaderboard (I am currently third highest): https://politicsandwar.com/leaderboards/arhi Edit one: added a picture with my current approval rating (with time in CT). Appears to have risen again? Edit two, electric bugaloo: Another change again at 4PM CT (not a turn change), falling again this time. Edit three, I need to go pee: rating rose slightly this time (5PM CT, actual turn change). Seems to rise slightly each turn, and then drop by a larger amount on hours that aren't regular turn change? Will try to screenshot again at 6PM to see if it follows this same pattern. Edit four, I'm tired and poor: At 6PM CT (not a turn), my approval rating dropped again. Now there is a true pattern established. Is this working as intended?
