It literally has happened for every major war for probably over half a decade now...
Some wars are more justified than others. It's barely a step up from schoolyard bullying at this point tbh.

I could be wrong, but I think it used to be like this, and got changed?

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.

Probably because there's no argument to be had. They made sure they'd win before they entered the war, you immediately flipped your stance into "well this is too much" and now your embarrassed to be called out for it so your trying to gaslight it into a "not in good faith" & "gotcha" catch phrasing. I'm simply taking the opportunity to enjoy the show.
Have a good war, blow up lots of infra and enjoy yourself. ❤️
Life must be tough with that kind of black-and-white thinking going on in your head.

-> Tells everyone not to declare wars unless they're sure they'll win
-> Happens to them, immediately calls them cowards in round-about fashion
hmm yes, nothing contradictory at all. Good show sir(ma'am?)
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. 🤷♀️

Shitttt, this you?
"Never begin a war you know you can't win."
Nothing in there contradicts my stance here.

Are you sure you really wanna join this tightly-contested and very evenly-matched battle? Sounds pretty scary to me.

I just want to say: It takes a lot of courage and balls to punch an alliance bigger, richer, more numerous, and stronger than you. Especially to do so by yourself, knowing that your target has allies that aren't the biggest pushovers either. I can always appreciate actions like this.
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.

You apparently are behind w/ current times, did you bump your head? They've been mostly out of commission for over a month an a half now.

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.

Is Arrgh leaving the fight as well? 😜

No thank you. Last time I tried that it didn't end well.

Lets make the new limit unlimited guys. Lets keep catering to newer players! Come on guys. Lets be fair at least to the new players...
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?
-
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.

Do people even read this, like come on do people really only have a 2 second attention span. Blah blah blah, you smell.
Personally, I actually do really enjoy treaties and the interesting things people can come up with when they put actual effort into them. 🤷♀️

What was debunked? You deleted military 2 wars ago to get people to stop attacking you(or whatever reason you are gonna peddle).
Then you had a chance to defend your ally, and decided not too, AFTER, plotting to hit them(ROSE), then allied the people who hit your ally.
syndicate is full of shit with all your bs. You aren’t good friends, because every friend has left you.
You’re not good at fighting, because you lose pretty steadily now.
shitty FA, shitty Milcom, shitty attitude from just giving up. And now you’re hiding behind better alliances with better players. You talk all this shit all over the forums, but you’re just a more organized UPN.
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.

The only major alliance that does this as far as I know is Grumpy, and even we have had to tone it back. The reason 99.9% of alliances dont tell their members anything is that if plans get leaked it can completely blow up an alliance/bloc's plans which can lead to them getting rolled. So the rule of thumb is that most alliances consider the risk to be too great to share OPSEC info with it's general members. Alot of alliances have additional walls between lower gov and upper gov, and you can have blocs that have an additional wall between upper gov and alliance leaders only. (and if you really want to know where the real plans get made its in private group chats between like 3-5 extremely influential people)
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.
1 hour ago, Shockrider1 said:I'm with Ronny D. I can see your perspective, but speaking specifically to your point on alliance affairs, I can think of at least one instance where a major plan was completely blown up due to a leak. Ironically, leaks are part of the fun of the game, but separation along low gov, mid gov, and leadership is super important to a functioning alliance. Plus, alliance-wide sharing would kind of eliminate the purpose of FA.
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.

And finally, the lack of clarity. I felt that, until I made gov, I was completely voided by my alliance, like there was a grey wall, just 5 meters in front of me blocking the interesting stuff. Communication is key. Communication makes everything all the more interesting
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.

This particular board could use some moderation is what I think.

Ah, I love that new treaty smell. Congrats to two great alliances.

Ah nice, Eclipse carry on with their NAP treaty chess so they can keep dodging competitive wars. This time I blame Ockey since I preferred to get perma rolled than sign another one of these. See y'all in May then, but with a different political landscape which I suspect will be less to your liking.
HOGG: W-we had no choice but to declare a losing war because Fortuna are big meanies who definitely wanted to bully Lil 'ol me
Also HOGG: This.
Thanks for the warning about your intentions btw.
