    It won't kill war.  Keep in mind that we've gone through the most controversial time in this game's history.  It's going to take some time to readjust to new futures, and hopefully within this time, @Alex will take advantage of it and bring out some new additions or changes to the game.

    He already has, apparently. Military units are noticeably more expensive now.

  2. People have been saying the game has been dying for years now – at this point, most people who have some degree of rationality just learn to tune the fearmongering out. I miss BK and what it used to be, and nor do I support disbanding alliances or forcing other alliances to disband, but at the same time with this shakeup we can finally turn a new chapter.

    People I knew in BK and I liked not really quit this game but just moved somewhere else. I am interested if all of this talking about moving out somewhere else worked out. And how many bk members really quit this game encorauged by gov. 

    Some members did stay in the game and moved to other alliances, but it seems like a good amount of members I know either deleted or went into perma VM. Unfortunately it does seem like a decent amount of members really did quit, because BK is the only real alliance that they know. Most of them rarely interact outside of their alliance, if at all, so they will take what their leadership says at face value. They only see the OWF and the rest of the community as toxic and actively hostile towards them, an image that is propped up by people like Leo. When all that you’ve been fed is that false image for two or three years, you won’t be so willing to let it go. 
     

    I was part of BK at two different points, one back in early 2017 during the Trail of Tiers. Leo was still low gov FA at the time, and I remember posting on the OWF and joining different alliance channels before. Eventually Curu and Leo told me to avoid interacting with the outside community because it was a hostile and toxic circlejerk dominated by EMC. I won’t be surprised if that image continues to this very day.

    Its sad i have to say this to another alliances members, please if any Ex goons are seeing this, dont leave the game, there are many netural alliances that surely would love to have you on top of those in both coalitions who would welcome you if you wish to remain in the war. 

     

    This doesn't have to be the end, please  give it a few days if you are thinking of leaving . 

     

    Signed, 

     

    - everyone who cares about the community 

     

    Most GOONS come from the SomethingAwful forums. They have more connection to the forums and the community there than they do with the game here. It's unlikely that many of them will bother leaving GOONS to join another alliance. It's why most BK and GoTG members obliged when they deleted or VM'd; most of them don't know any other alliance to go. This is the only community they know, and their experience with the game has been exclusively with that alliance.

  5. I don't appreciate what BK has become and the kind of leadership that it had before its downfall. But it's still a bit saddening to see the alliance end so unceremoniously. I was part of the early members under the OG leadership, back when I was under a different nation name (Second Republic of Cyprus). Back when times were simpler and it was just a protectorate under the Syndicate. I even joined back to the game under Curu's leadership just before the Trail of Tiers happened, before I realized it wasn't the same alliance I was in before and left. So at least for that part of BK...it's been a pleasure.

    It's interesting to me how the naysayers always pick the authoritarian regimes to decry leftism/communism. You never discuss the DemSoc policies of countries like Sweden or the success of socialist policies elsewhere. I always found it as an interesting form of cherry-picking, though admittedly in your defense the stalinist-leninist regime did use the label first.

    Sweden isn't dem-soc. It's closer to social democracy, or the "Nordic model". Sweden still has corporations like Ericsson, Volvo, H&M, and Ikea, and is still very much a capitalist country. Red Vienna in the 1920s is a better example of democratic socialism; under the SPÖ, Vienna built a significant amount of public housing (the biggest being Karl-Marx-Hof, which is still standing today) and significantly expanded social welfare within the city. Wealth taxes were enacted to partially pay for these programs. It collapsed with the rise of the fascist Fatherland Front in 1934. There were Latin American leaders like Salvador Allende who were popular democratic socialists; unfortunately, most of them were overthrown or assassinated by CIA-backed militants.

  7. I'm personally just disappointed that people don't give micros, at least the ones with potential, much respect. Pretty sad that some people on Coalition A's side feel the need to dunk on some alliance because they felt the need to pull out early. That makes you no better than Coalition B. And people wonder why this game is so toxic.

    This was definitely malicious, the timing is not coincidental. It seems TKR at least feigns an honorable reputation, whilst the rest of you abandon it. 

    Woe befalls those that work with Cock Bloc. 

    For the side that complains how certain members believe that this is a false flag operation, you sure are quick to jump into the conclusion that the opposition openly condones this, let alone had anything to do with it. How about we wait and see what Alex says about it?

    I'll miss the nukes Rebekah ? but we got what we wanted, so there won't be another round

    I hope you don't mind if I get some nuke launched stats too, right? 

    Gotta keep up with my friends in CoA on that, so prepare your 500 infra!!!

    Just pointing out that she literally sold her infra down before to try and downdeclare on Akuryo. Her cities were originally all around 2500 infra each. And then she did it again two days ago down to 600. She was pretty much rolling herself.

  10. I had noticed this when I was playing P&W last night, but after the update on 1 AM PST (8 AM GMT), I had simply not received the revenue I was supposed to receive that turn, which was around $300K and a small amount of gasoline. Instead, my money had stayed the same. I'm not sure if it is possible to replicate this bug (nor have I taken screenshots of it), and after that turn I started getting my revenue as normal. But I want to see if any other people have been experiencing this bug as well.

    Good luck in Orbis guys!

    Before you say that, consider that every alliance in Orbis began as a micro, including NPO, TKR, and KT. BK didn't just spring up with 150 members, neither did Pantheon or T$. Everyone has to start somewhere, and here that is as a 'micro' alliance.

    I can see the reasoning in that, but alliances like KT and TKR were well planned out and had a strong base of members before it was even established, and NPO had already existed in CN for quite some time before entering P&W. I personally have no beef with micros, but its leaders have to be experienced and know what they’re doing if they expect to remotely succeed.  People should join a major alliance for a while and have a good feeling for the game before leaving to make their own micro.

    It came across as if the war was going to last less than a month.

    Otherwise you'd just say ''A month and 'x' weeks''.

    That was my bad then. My point still stands though. It’s a problem with the game that it fails to offer much of anything, because the only interesting thing that happens in this game is the rush of excitement you get for the first month of war and spending the rest of its duration waiting for some kind of treaty to end it, and then waiting several months for another war to happen.

    Oh boi

    Hate to burst your bubble.

    This game is functionally just a cycle of war and peace anyways. You fight in war for a few weeks, and eventually the excitement from it starts to wear out a bit, then you have to peace and keep yourself occupied with rebuilding your warchest and nation. Then the boredom sets in again when you have to wait six months for the next global war to happen.

    I hate to be the one to ruin a good back and forth, but uhh... remember how there was no war for more than half a year?

    ....Maybe everyone's having fun....?

    Eh, there's a bit of excitement if your enemy isn't that good and you have a fighting chance. Getting stomped with no chance to resist is a far less exciting. Plus, war starts wearing out over time and when it draws out too long then even that gets kind of boring.

    So you're the one who taught Felkey the great art of VMing before a war starts?

    Now we'll have to see if Felkey also deserts his alliance during the war.

    Would be nice, but no. I actually had no knowledge that war was imminent at the time. It was pretty hush hush, despite me being high gov MilCom. I left KT because I had issues with Vlad, and I ended up fighting a different war either way. Illenium and Slomby left for similar reasons. I wouldn’t have dodged war for any reason, and if I was aware that we were about to fight IQ I would have at least stayed for the ride.

    I never said anything about score; TKRsphere is outnumbered in player count which is a much more important metric when considering conventional warfare potential.

    Oh, it was mostly just referring to a previous post which was comparing score changes. That was a sort of off-comment. I’m just saying one can continue fighting even without most of your military through other unconventional tactics.

    Lol, there's no such thing as "overdeployment" when outnumbered. TKR is doing the right thing by being as aggressive as possible.

    Score isn't an accurate portrayal usually; net damage is a bit more accurate. Granted though, IQ still has greater net damage in that respect. People forget about how Arrgh used to fight their wars, though.

    I'd also recommend you to join one of the top 20 alliances. They can facilitate you resources and knowledge (alongside a community to be part of) which will help to smooth things up.

    @Maia Yeah. Raiding is more profitable, and on top of that, gives you a reason to log in daily. Also a good way to learn the mechanics.

    @Angel Lara Well, make sure you check your alliance before you join one, because several top alliances are at war with each other. KT is a fair choice.
