  1. I have literally never been either of those two things. 🤷‍♀️
  2. Some wars are more justified than others. It's barely a step up from schoolyard bullying at this point tbh.
  3. I could be wrong, but I think it used to be like this, and got changed?
  4. I can't be the only one who finds it rather tasteless to make a thread for the sole purpose of mocking the enemy who did nothing wrong to you but against who you assembled a massive coalition of everyone for no reason anyway.
  5. Life must be tough with that kind of black-and-white thinking going on in your head.
  6. You're not arguing in good faith, obviously there's a massive gulf between a war you can't win and whatever this is. but you were going to try to have your "gotcha" moment no matter what anyways, so carry on. 🤷‍♀️
  7. Nothing in there contradicts my stance here.
  8. Are you sure you really wanna join this tightly-contested and very evenly-matched battle? Sounds pretty scary to me.
  9. You call it courage, I call it stupidity. It may not be rule #1, but it's pretty dang close to it: "Never begin a war you know you can't win." Doing so is a failure of leadership plain and simple. You let down the people you command, and you let down yourself because it's essentially an admission that you're incapable of putting your people in a position to succeed. It's ego getting in the way of practicality at best. And I say that as someone who rarely turns down an opportunity to punch some people in the face.
  10. I honestly haven't been paying attention to this at all, yeah. I just glanced at some stats and thought it would be funny to ask about Arrgh.
  11. What this game really needs is.... Kadin. 😉
  12. No thank you. Last time I tried that it didn't end well.
  13. This but unironically. Keeping your nation for a long time shouldn't give you an insurmountable advantage for the rest of time. You scared to compete with new players or something?
  14. Remove the timer for any nation that is 9 cities below the nation with the highest number of cities. If the nation with the highest city count is 100 cities, then anyone 91 or below has no timer. if it's 101, then 92. And so on.
  15. Personally, I actually do really enjoy treaties and the interesting things people can come up with when they put actual effort into them. 🤷‍♀️
  16. 2 wars is a lifetime ago. No idea what events you're referring to but it really doesn't matter. Even if you start with the premise that Syndicate was bad 2 wars ago, it means nothing for the Syndicate of today. So at this point you're just having a temper tantrum on the forums over an old grudge. Speaking as someone who was actually involved in Syndicate's most recent war and personally saw how they did, they performed quite well. And, in any case, I don't personally consider you to be someone whose opinion I value when it comes to which alliances are good or which are not. So to me it's just a lot of blahblahblah from the peanut gallery.
  17. You don't have to reveal every plan to everyone in order to get people involved. There are levels to this shit. Perhaps I completely misinterpreted what the OP was saying, but I didn't view their wall comment as meaning "I need to know everything about what's going on." I read it more as, "I'm simply some numbers and statistics that alliance leaders play around with, and don't have an active role of my own beyond that." Upper gov make final high-end decisions in consultation with each other. Lower gov participate (alongside department-assigned upper gov) in the planning and leadership of their respective departments. Then you have the members, who are sought after as workers who play an essential role as cogs in the greater machine. The best workers, those with the most loyalty and potential, become the talent pool for future leadership. Those who do not answer that call are then the ones who only act as the hammer with which the alliance smashes its foes. This is a time-tested and true method of building and maintaining an active, engaged alliance that is ready to respond to anything. See the reply above. There seems to be a misunderstanding on what I'm actually saying. No alliance is going to tell every random members everything they have planned. That's a really naive way of looking at things and certainly not what I mean.
  18. This is actually the heart of my leadership philosophy as it turns out. The truth is that the vast majority of activity that makes the game worth playing on a day-to-day basis takes place within the context of alliances rather than the game itself. The best alliances will be ones that not only have ample opportunity for all members who desire to participate to do so, but will actively seek out to include as many members as possible. There should never be a grey wall between you and the maintenance/development of an alliance.
  19. This particular board could use some moderation is what I think.
  20. Ah, I love that new treaty smell. Congrats to two great alliances.
  21. I have a lot of respect for Polaris, personally, and don't know anything about Camelot so I wish you all the best of luck with this.
