Totally agree with you. But in my eyes, if you protect someone, you jump in regardless of the size of the attacker. Otherwise it's a bit pointless.

Dio's has CB's on all non-belivers

Why bother offering 'protection' if you won't protect those your meant to be protecting?

At least some people understand...

SK have no power over me... and it aint exactly baiting. You boys will be jumping in sometime soon anyway!

Stop crying, either join in or stfu

Some people did focus on Air...

finally some !@#$ing action...

Bit like the Native Americans. Human nature is a horrible thing.

Everyone bar the labour supporters think 2 Jags is a !@#$...

Arrgh got a good scam going on. I salute them!

Protection don't work like that. You can only protect people from people you can beat...

Cuz you a easier target brah...

Don't back down Brandon!

!@#$ing !@#$

The Anti-Mensa Ads are getting better. I like it.

The law only applies when caught!

I think it has more to do with you being pretty much a !@#$ing continent, making the logistical side of war in your land near impossible. Also, much like the reasons America dropped the 'bomb' on Japan, invasions by sea are very costly both in terms of human lives and monetary. Your position on the earth and sheer size are much better deterrents then a bunch of Hillbillies running round the woods on a Saturday evening playing army.

Thank you for proving my point. Alliances didn't want to get rekt'd, so they dragged as much cannon fodder and padding as they could in to the fight to minimize damage done to them. It's a tactic that worked, the VE sphere won the war. We can see the same thing happening again, Mega-blocs are forming, Alliances are gathering up their war machines and the market has shot up. It don't take a genius to work out what is on the horizon. Personally I'd rather see little regular skirmishes between alliances with Bloc Wars being the rarity. I think it would keep the majority of the player base (and not just the guys who play the 'Politics' side of the game) more engaged and interested in the game. The cost of war prohibits this though, so all we have is massive wars every now and again. For regular grunts (those not involved 'behind the scenes'), such as myself, the game is damn boring. Had I stumbled across this game on my own and not had a group I knew from previous browser games I would have been long gone.

Strange that from 1955 murders rise, while executions fall away sharply. Those graphs show nothing to suggest more executions lead to fewer crimes. I would put the 1990's murder rate decline down to better policing rather than an increase in death penalties.

Surely the USA has bigger problems that could be sorted out then this?

Says we are an active alliance that can organise things and get shit done, even when most of the alliance are 'meh' about such things...

ban this thread

Proof of this?

The last war set the precendent. People wont go to war unless they know they have the numbers advantage. A dogpile seems to be the only tactic, it's a shame!
