  1. Ask Curu. I'm an outside contractor working pro bono. But then... do you trust Curufinwe? Like I said, if the proof is in our hands, you can always claim we falsified it or just plain lied about it.
  2. That's rather ridiculous, isn't it? If you're saying he shared a strategic weapon with your side, that would be pure folly because he wouldn't have guarantees that the one-use weapon would be used at appropriate and useful sides. And it's still something that happened on your side. On the BK side, the timing of the attack was especially unfortunate since many BK government members were offline at that moment. It could have been far worse and the alliance could have been fully disbanded, but the slow rate of attack resulted in its discovery and abortion. Leo, moreover, had personal business to attend to at the time which George would have known. In other words, there's a difference between shooting yourself in the leg to claim you were assaulted and shooting yourself in the head. Put it another way, which is more plausible? That George had begun the attack 21 minutes after talking about it openly, or that BK had somehow perfectly timed it to coincide with low government activity and George's departure? === Personally, from your response, I think you know just as well as I do Geroge did it. Problem is, it's not politically convenient for your side to admit such. It's a constant affair of deflection and introducing "whataboutisms" to create uncertainty, which simply reflects the fact. On my side, the nature of the attack (Leo's machine was compromised and used to kick members) means that it does not require Alex's intervention, since, as you've said, this is more a matter for law enforcement agencies (who won't intervene as I've shown). Still, a fundamental commitment to truth (i.e, you can leave the BS to other KERCHTOG$+TCW+Fark members) is one of the things that give us dignity.
  3. And about 21 minutes after he says this, BK starts getting kicked, to the consternation of your coalition, including one where Cooper indicates that if it's George, he should be expelled from the coalition.
  4. On Discord, I've already leaked to your members the relevant screenshots (but screenshots can be faked!). So can logs! Blah blah blah.
  5. @James II Do not be an ignoramus. Law enforcement and the FBI typically are quite lazy when it comes to cybercrimes, especially when no RL monetary value is involved. Hacking is extremely hard to track and prove, especially if proxies are involved or the perpetrators are in other countries (which is quite easy with online activities). https://www.cio.com/article/2402264/why-law-enforcement-can-t-stop-hackers.html
  6. I think that given the evidence we have, we can believe with certainty that this "King William III" hacked Leo, and it's George. However, given the jurisprudence practice of PnW, Alex can't prove it and "King William III", according to the rules and T&C, didn't do anything wrong as the criminal infringement occurred on Leo's computer, not the game servers. Then again, Pooball didn't do anything wrong according to the rules and T&C, and merely exploited a bug to generate infinite money.
  7. http://100photos.time.com/photos/jeff-widener-tank-man So are we finally the heroes? And, FYI, the man was never crushed by the tank. Pico Iyer's description of the original picture is also very succinct. Does that make Alex now a hero for refusing to ban bank bots? Or are NPO and Alex both villains in your eyes? See: http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,988169,00.html
  8. In reality, most people behave as rational actors and sociological principles / org theory / physics / etc are to blame. In other words, the REAL villain, is Alex. On the other hand, this game both breeds sociopathic behavior and selects for sociopaths, so... when will I have a Rush Sykes moaning in public about all the lying and deceit he had to do once he became gov?
  9. Tiberius, on the other hand, can also contact any of his allied alliance banks and receive a loan (paid for by his own alliance bank). That's sort of the definition of a coalition, isn't it?
  10. Neko already made the report himself. You just publicized the exploit.
  11. Tyrion, in my experience, has always been very level-headed. I'm surprised they banned you en masse in a fit of pique. Unless someone is being disruptive there is no reason to ban someone from a public server.
  12. You are not in the report, Rosey Song. For all I know, you didn't collaborate with Akuryo; and frankly speaking, this is mainly because I can't prove it (and Akuryo slot filling has been judged "legal", although I have my doubts). You are merely the target of Akuryo's little "plane recovery service". Anyways, go troll as much as you want. I'll let you have fun. Our problems are on Discord, namely when I got drunk.

  13. Have some cat pictures Micchan. Here's to hoping that NPO and TKR can one day get along and I don't have to blockade hold you for 53 turns again. My cat above. I have two kitties.
  14. Ooh, let's start abusing single data points from low-level NPO members for propaganda!
  15. Overall, the general problem in this game is that while the game fundamentally favors lower tier nations in terms of theoretical economic and military ability, in practice, security issues emerge. Let us say, for instance, the upper tier actually fights the upper tier. Pretty soon, the defeated elements drop to the mid-tier and are then blockade held (see CoS last war). Then the victorious side blockade holds the defeated upper tier while the victorious upper tier boosts up and goes back to stockpiling resources. In practice, this just means that the upper tier takes very little economic damage from actual war and the only way to actually disadvantage an upper tier is to blockade hold them for a prolonged period of time. And then the food STILL continues to get rolled out and sold. So I guess that's why they call it spam.
  16. I'll clarify that Insta-GA is what NPO etc is accusing KERCHTOG$ of doing, and I have never seen the evidence. I have with success hit KERCHTOG$ with planes before they could ground, and to the best of my knowledge "man-in-the-loop" Insta-GA is legal. So I'm not sure if KERCHTOG$ elements have resorted to automatic warfighting or, if it does happen, who would be using it and whether it's authorized by their alliances.
  17. Daily reminder that the PnW forums is the only place in existence. We are all bots that endlessly generate context according to a central algorithm.
  18. It's when I blockade hold you for 53 turns. (We're aware that at least parts of KERCHTOG$ seem to have scripts that enable at least auto-notificatino on declare and push them immediately to a screen with pre-filled computer-determined optimal attack. The Insta-GA is an extension by just taking the human entirely out of the loop.)
  19. Rosey was blockade held by me in an example of conventional tactics, as I had previously said in the OP. If you weren't slot-filled by Akuryo and friends, we would have shot you down and kept you suppressed simply because you are considered a decent fighter. But I'm not discussing here unless absolutely necessary.
  20. I think Alex is just as annoyed by this affair (in different ways) as I am as well as by the related drama. Let's spare him this circus sideshow.
  21. https://politicsandwar.com/nation/war/timeline/war=585129 https://politicsandwar.com/nation/war/timeline/war=585129 The report came in in irateness. I am well aware what current policy is, and I assume no such action will be taken. Here is the sequence of events. I arranged for Mei-Ling Zhou to blockade Rosey Song, then I accepted Rosey Song's peace to free up my offensive slot. The next I heard about it, apparently Akuryo and a friend had come in, filled the last two slots, and soon after, Rosey Song redeemed a credit to break out of the cash lock he was imposed in and wrecked the person I had arranged to engage. If Rosey had not been filled, the credit redemption could have been negated by bringing in other attackers. But oh, you can't prove it's slot filling. ==== “Lord, grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” ― Reinhold Niebuhr In truth, I'm just fulfilling my obligation to Mei-Ling Zhou here, who got trapped and destroyed by an opponent he or she couldn't beat here. I have to complain. But as I've said in our previous correspondence, I'm not doing this anymore.
  22. As I've said above, this is a problem for lobbyists. I have other activities I attend to.
