Kyub look out! We’re gonna hit CTO!

Surprise! A spreadsheet game is played best by… you guessed it! Data Scientists! Just because you can’t keep up with the vast amount of data doesn’t mean other people shouldn’t be able to synthesize and organize public information. Your concept of being good at “MA” and “Econ” management without bots are people that can no-life refresh pages. That is the worst sort of game. Final note, most of the “bots” and “automation” alliances can use are public, or freely available. You don’t have to hide in the dark ages any more old man.

Starting a war over 8b, understandable. But you don’t start a war to recoup money. War is expensive. Which is why it’s always punitive. Trying to act like this war was solely to make money back is fake as !@#$ especially given HS’s size, age, and access to sphere wealth.

[ROH] Carthago's Guide For Dummies: Finance 101
Lord of Puns replied to evilpiggyfoofoo's topic in Alliance Affairs
Tl;Dr shares has always been a terrible way to represent equity in small markets that has a 0% likelihood of being bought out. -
This is probably one of the coolest community projects I’ve seen come out of this game. Hope to see it get more and more polished, enormous potential here.

Right, but I think we all (or maybe 70% of us) can agree that the political climate is much more interesting and dynamic when alliances have prevalent opinions that stand out from their sphere. Which is what I believe Lysander was getting at. A great example being Carthago and TFP, both have a very strong individual presence outside of bloc politics

If there were no differences between alliance politics and sphere politics, spheres would stay the same forever. But clearly each alliance has goals that they promote or push aside to work with people they desire to.

[Birthday] Another year, another internal memo
Lord of Puns replied to Bradley's topic in Alliance Affairs
Merger when -
See but there isn’t. There are a few alliances that absolutely will not ally themselves with other certain alliances, but for the most part in the past two years everybody done did everything with everybody. This dichotomy that you’re depicting does not exist any more. tS went from fighting rose, to allying rose, TKR went from allying tS to fighting tS. Midguard arose as a tripartite to the typical TKROSESYNDICATE rivalry (which in itself is a set of three poles) HOGG has arisen as a separate sphere again. The idea that the entire world operates around two poles is blatantly false. Time and time again, the three major players in orbis politics continue to be consumed by other mini conflicts that begin to create new powerhouses. The reality is that you’re seeing these divisions because you’re looking for them. Age old rivalries shaped our spheres and our mindsets as players for years. New rivalries and lines are being drawn and it’s not just straight in half. I mean shit, we had three major conflicts occurring with completely different parties in the past two months alone.

This is precisely the point. The concept of having “won” the game is fruitless and inevitably the game moves on. Time does not stop because you created an unbeatable hegemony, the world does not pause and congratulate this accomplishment. You don’t receive a reward for this stalemate. When you get to the top of the mountain you find more mountains. Since the game has evolved into creating a constant dynamic atmosphere to encourage multiple different spheres to compete and grow, people moved past this archaic idea of the ultimate victory. So we don’t have one villain, we don’t have us vs. them in mass. We have many many different points of view, and the political scene has flourished because of it.
-
This is what happens when you leave the political scene for a while. You fall into old tropes. Any person that truly believes that this game can be won forgets the 90 different times people have claimed this “win” or built “the perfect hegemony”. As someone who’s old playstyle was, “!@#$ !@#$es, steal banks” - you should know more than anyone that the goal of this game is whatever you make of it. But most of the game has moved past sustained global domination and stagnation m8

We could sit here for hours about how this cb (and all cb’s for that matter are invalid) the fact remains this: Kan and Toxic have decided that the entirety of Midgard is going to get rolled for their failure to coordinate FA. Not that I wouldn’t do the same petty shit, I’m just not sure I’d like them as bloc partners or in control of my gov
