Leopold von Habsburg

How is letting in some refugees from a war torn alliance immediately indicate aligning ourselves with KT? That is an example of not being pragmatic.

I have an interesting history with KT. With that in mind, I am quite certain that this was a pragmatic move to let these specific members into the Syndicate.

Very honourable stance! And I welcome our new friends and comrades to the battlefield to fight for injustice and freedom!

Wonderful! Excellent! Keep it up allies ?

What a glorious occasion this is. 2 equally glamorous alliances are coming together to form an impeccable bond! Belles of the ball indeed. I feel like such a forum darling right now. o/ The Immortals

Still feel pretty ripped off I got silenced so fast while delivering my heartfelt acceptance speech for NPO winning Most Powerful Alliance. C'est la vie

Congratulations to all the alliances who negotiated peace!

CoS had one of the neatest memberships out of any alliance in existence. You guys were an asset to the community and there will be a void that will be hard to fill. I know many in t$ always had an almost attachment to CoS so this news hit us hard back at the HQ. I wish you all the best wherever that may be!

I am at war this nation and would like to voice that I do believe he is warslot filling on this war: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/war/timeline/war=589085 Allied gov members in game and if you compare his offensive war on me vs against the mad titan - the bare minimum is being done in order to maintain the look of a real war. Let's not even get started on his defensive war here: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/war/timeline/war=588361 Which again is a war between 2 allied gov members in order to fill a defensive slot and ruin any chance of cycling the nation.

Lol at all of the BK and NPO drones trying to call you immoral for even suggesting something like this could have been a possibility. Shame on you BK. You even tried to get someone banned in this farce you were trying to pull.

I agree with #1 on George's suggestions. This current situation of bots and scripts playing the game and acting in for government members in some alliances needs to be changed. If captcha codes are what we need to make that happen I then I wholeheartedly agree with the implementation of them. The recruitment messages as a VIP feature or for the cost of a credit would definitely be a great work around. But if captchas are a fix for the banking problem then by not putting captchas on messages it could allow that feature to remain until something like that is implemented into the game. I look forward to api v2. Stuff with the API is generally not nearly as intrusive to game play. As has been highlighted, compiling and displaying info from the api does not actually play the game for you.

The script is playing his nation for him. It is loggin onto his account and doing an action that only alliance government has the power to do and as you probably experienced, it's easy to exploit. You have no moral high ground to stand on here to justify why this is a perfectly ok thing to utilized. I don't care if Alex has ok'd them in the past. I think he needs to outlaw them going forward. Make the 100/100 alliances actually have to put in effort if they want to run their alliances in such a controlling way. Don't allow them to automate their whole banking system to a point where the bankers don't even need to log on anymore. That is just ridiculous.

This is a ridiculous comparison. Getting info from the API is not the same as having a bot/script perform in game functions such as withdrawals to nations. The API is not logging onto your account. The API is also endorsed by the game and touted as an accessible feature. BK's bank scheme is not. If recruiting bots fall under the same category as this thing with BK's bank then maybe they should go too. Your comparison of bigger governments have the advantage is moot. That's actual players doing things. Not a bot running your leaders nation to do all your banking transactions handless on his part. If people are doing the work, real people and playing the game how could you even be daft enough to make that comparison? You're really reaching to try to justify why something like this should remain in the game when it's pretty blarringly obvious it shouldn't.

With the quality of negotiators available within your coalition I was kind of expecting it to get doubled lol what a joke.

I get that Alex has given permission for this. Alex has been known to retract some of his decisions if they don't work or are un fair. If Leo the Great is not physically clicking send to that stuff that his nation is sending to people ,even if what they requested was theirs to begin with, it should be outlawed. There is no reason why something like that should be allowed. If someone goes into bk net, submits a withdrawal request and then Leo the Great sees it and goes and fulfills that request, there's nothing to complain about. I'm under the assumption this is not the case.

I agree, having bots and scripts to literally log onto someone's nation and send out banking stuff is ridiculous. Doing 100/100 taxes should create more work for an alliance to micromanage all the finances of their nations. They should not be allowed to create a bot to just automatically put food and resources into nations.

What a joke lol

I always viewed CoS as kin of The Syndicate so I always wish the best for you guys. You have been in this thing since day 1, it was a long, well fought war. Peace was much deserved.

The Syndicate stands by our green brethren in these pressing times. GREEN PROSPERITY!

While I have some reservations about the flag and my "code name"...... I feel like I've spent enough time dealing with the truly unstable in this world to recognize what I don't want in an ally. TKR displays none of those attributes, thank god! Here's to a long relationship of dream speak, voices in the back of our heads and constant fear of fear itself deciding all our decisions going forward!

I don't believe many of these people in some not to be named deplorable alliances have the mental capacity to maintain two unique personas. Which leads me to believe if I dislike them IC, I probably will OOC. Happy New Years folks!

We protected our protectorate.

Did you guys forgo your term you were pushing to make Elijah Mikaelson a persona non grata then?

There was already a thread someone started for the guy in the first war. He reported that glitch to Alex immediately upon seeing it happen. The other guy I wasn't aware that the glitch happened with him. But it seems it happened in that one instance and not again. (Albeit because the glitch used up so much resistance). I will touch base with him to see what's up.

The house of Habsburg is spreading our reach from dominating the entertainment industry to now taking over the media. It's a glorious time to be a Habsburg!
