  1. I don't know what the gotcha is - that NPO has a shitposter? Whatever. You seemed to claim that it should be obvious to us all that he isn't in NPO, but how are we supposed to know he hasn't been masked or formally applied? You've been happy for weeks to let him fight alongside you, but now its all 'we don't know this guy, never heard of him before, who even is he really!'
  2. He's been one of your applicants for about 2 weeks:
  3. Next, IQ is going to reform itself into the Joint Chiefs of Staff with Roquentin as CJCS. And they will create their own forum as a 'safe space' for their community.
  4. > a lot of (ultra low tier) nations that could make money to fund war effort Uh, ok. > new nations inclined to join us New nations?? > path to victory this sounds like the 'southern strategy' of a New England democrat running for president. >propagating moral www.dictionary.com
  5. wtf are you on? You've only fought 1 tS nation, to begin with. More importantly, you sound like you are describing some alternate universe version of this war.
  6. lol cities NINE and TEN! Congrats man, fire up them big guns.
  7. Kastor's attempt at grand strategery. In addition to his attempts to backchannel alliances on our side out of the war by slinging massive amounts of bullshit, I would say his masterful campaign has had A++ execution and maximum success.
  8. That's a limited view of the effect of this kind of war. Our alliances are able to grow with positive net income; we're building cities in our nations, expanding our reserves, etc. I imagine that isn't quite how things are going at IQ; they have to cap their growth to continue their strategy, even if they had the money to grow. Minimal new cities, mostly negative income, exhausting war supplies, etc. This state of the war will continue until it ends, and the longer it goes on the greater our advantage.
  9. I think there's still a pretty clear victory, but there's a point of diminishing returns. At some point it isn't worth grinding infra lower, and you can't kill military score below zero. The loser's strat of submarine warfare works to an extent, but it doesn't fundamentally change the state of defeat.
  10. https://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/19328-the-war-so-far-v4/ New thread to shitpost in guys
  11. the stat tracker is completely !@#$ed and not worth using, per Alex himself
  12. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CLq_ikPJNSG-fvmZFjLGsuuYv2YBfpHUOPjQAEYOTPg/edit?usp=sharing As you can see below, the war continues to grind both sides into dust. Side A started with 1.49m score, while side B started with 1.74m. The two sides have collectively lost 1.24m in score, with side B (IQ and friends) having lost the lions share at 840k. The greatest overall losers are Black Knights (-158k) and Zodiac (-119k). NPO continues to have suffered the smallest proportional lost on the B side at 27.5%, while Cornerstone, Acadia, VE and SK have the largest proportional losses on either side (from 61% to 55.8%). This is not to minimize the significant losses experienced by the defense; tS has suffered the greatest, at 43%, followed by Mensa at 36% and Rose at 33%. But even the loss suffered by the Syndicate would put it 4th to last on the IQ team, ahead of only Cerberus, tTO and of course NPO. It may also be telling that tS' score loss as occurred mostly in the last week, perhaps suggesting that it is the result of intentional range dropping as opposed to damage inflicted by the other side.
  13. Good luck, you'll need a lot of it
  14. I'm not saying you're completely wrong, Thalmor, but a lot of people are utterly unable to master even PNW's very simple war system. Individual skill is important mostly because so many people lack it.
  15. Tywin got good in Mensa, just saying, so Arrgh can't completely claim him :-P
  16. Yep, all this exactly.
  17. I added you just to see how deep I cut
  18. Related: https://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/19278-top-fighters/
  19. Out of curiosity driven by some recent conversation and Khorne's thread, I decided to try to work out what the right rank ordering of Orbis' top fighters should be. The leaderboards will rank people by total kills of different types, but I think total kills doesn't give you a complete picture. Some time ago Ogaden came up with a weighted ranking system that I think is more sophisticated than what I have here, but I've ranked everyone who appears in the top 10 of any kill board by their kill/death ratios (a measure of efficiency). FYI while infra damage and loss shows up in the sheet, I don't use it as a KD ratio for ranking purposes. See here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CLq_ikPJNSG-fvmZFjLGsuuYv2YBfpHUOPjQAEYOTPg/edit?usp=sharing There are several ways to order the results, but by average KD ratio (and excluding an anomaly result for Insert Name Here): By average kill rank across all kill types: Feel free to reorder the results or make a copy of the sheet and come up with different rankings of your own. If anyone experiments with weighting to come up with a composite score, please post it here so we can ogle it!
  20. Haha. A few random nations in Mensa rolled Vanguard by accident. Threat? Lol
  21. Appreciate you pointing that out, as I would not have realized that purely from the absence of a value judgment in your comment. (Just kidding, I can read).
  22. That's true, but its also (1) realistic and (2) not clear how that is a bad thing necessarily.
  23. Missing context: how many tanks did you have in the first hit, how many did you use and how many did your opponent have in the second hit. Also, how many planes did he hit you with in the first hit.
  24. I don't make any claims to lack of bias. The data is reliable and can be checked by anyone, since its all just drawn from in-game pages available to anyone. My limited commentary is obviously biased, since I'm a participant in the war.
