Thalmor

There's literally nothing wrong with being a terrorist organization.

Yet, here you are. 6 posts in 24 post thread. I understand you're very passionate about sucking your allies' dick, but at the end of the day, you're still sucking dick. A little bit of class and strong silence goes a long way.

COPE! Seeth harder, Swampcel.

TCM and Nokia war this war. Swamp wanted Shadow's wealth that he put in the bank when he ragequit. Nokia was willing to grant this, but only if an apology was given for insults thrown at him before and during peace negotiations. Swamp was unwilling to do this. Now, there's a white peace? If that's true, then Swamp had to pivot and accept less than what they wanted. They had to go and meet Nokia in the middle, rather than Nokia accepting Swamp's demands. Swamp lost and anything other is just cope and seeth. Swampcels permanently BTFO by the Chad Nokia.

Do you make a distinction between fascism and nationalism? Additionally, can a nation act in a way that can be interpreted as nationalistic but still be morally acceptable? Not interested in arguing, just wanting to pick at your brain. Isn't this okay though? I find 'third way' economics appealing. Communism has a shitty track record historically, and I'm strongly disillusioned with the state of corporate control, power, greed, and influence here in the United States. Seems like with a 'fascist' economy, you can get the best of both worlds: Free market playgrounds for the best of the best to succeed, and the economy exists only to serve the people (unlike now in the US, where it seems people exist to serve the economy). Perhaps I'm ignorant and don't know what I'm talking about. Again, I don't want to argue. I know these things are hard to talk about.

I will personally start the next global.

Not sure why this is being downvoted. Having an extra layer in place to try to filter Alex's shit decisions is a good idea. It's better than nothing.

This is absolutely not a suggestion I will advocate for now. There are much more presses updates that need to be done. I just wanted to create this thread so as to get the idea in people's heads for later.

Permit nukes and missiles to be launched at nations you're not at war with. As long as you're not bill-locked and you have a nuke and/or missile, you can launch a nuke or missile at any city. To get an idea what this is like, go to the BattleSims for missiles and nukes: https://politicsandwar.com/battlesim/nuke/ https://politicsandwar.com/battlesim/missile/ Similar to how you test a nuke or missile by entering in a city ID, you just enter in the city ID of the nation you want to nuke or missile. This feature can have it's own screen that you access from the 'Wars' tab using a button next to the 'Find Nations in War Range' button. It could say something like 'Launch Nuke or Missile'. To prevent abuse, you can only launch 1 nuke or missile every 12 turns. You also cannot launch at yourself, members of your alliance, members of allied alliances through in-game treaties, and nations you're already at war with (you have to hit them with nukes/missiles through the war screen with 8/12 MAPs like normal). You can only launch nukes at nations that fall within your war range. Perhaps this 'range' can be increased through a project (or the idea itself activated through a project). To further balance it out, perhaps doing this causes a 0.05% increase in crime for 120 turns for missiles, and a 0.20% increase in crime for nukes. This simulates increased unrest as people riot and protest about their nation committing this senseless act of aggression; at least in normal war we're already fighting the war we're missiling/nuking. This can be used to collect nuclear counties, and radiation damage that affects food production still apply. The 50% missile defense from Iron Dome and the 20% nuke defense from Vital Defense System still apply. This idea doesn't solve any problems, but it allows for more player freedom. People can troll with this, and the resulting drama can fuel politics and lead to interesting interactions and memes. Coordination during war with this can increase an alliance's damage output if their slots are filled but they have an excess of nukes/missiles they can use. Additionally, another alliance can avoid going directly going on the offensive, but can still help a front or an entire war by nuking a particular side's cities.

Thread: https://forum.politicsandwar.com/index.php?/topic/29474-flood-the-coal-mines/ The OP of this thread is the offender. Nation Link: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=5909 The 'Nation Link' directs to a nation that has been deleted. I searched for a nation/leader name with their current forum name, but couldn't find one. I'm guessing they either don't have a nation at all. If they do, they need to request a name change.

https://gofile.io/d/EmNYk8 Here's the recording of the episode. I think it'll only be up for a few days, so download it while you can. I would've preferred to have it hosted somewhere for streaming but YouTube wouldn't allow it because it's to long. Oh well I guess. Nokia recorded this (big thank you to him) and he started doing so before the preshow. I'm not sure where everything is so it's best to just start from the beginning and have it on in the background as you do something else. If you just want to hear Nokia and James go at it, skip to 30 minutes in. This would've been up sooner, but my internet is trash and there's nothing I can do about it. Hope you guys enjoy it! I had a lot of people in my DM's asking about it. I think this will suffice.

You mean it doesn't?

As it stands right now, Nokia has agreed to come on Thalmor Radio and give his side of things. James Wilson will also be coming on to represent Swamp and I suppose rebut Nokia. My show starts tonight at 9 PM EST. So, about 6 hours from now. Link: https://discord.gg/rcnJYAv

I still don't think that's a bad idea, but Antman seems to want to quit or reroll over it for some reason. I also didn't know a lot about this 'war' but this thread helped to fill me in. Micros gonna micro.

@AntMan @Nokia Rokia Why do you guys dislike Swamp so much to go fully 'scorched Earth' on them for? I feel bad for the rank and file of TCM.
