You should start helping out your alliance's FA. It would be a damn shame for you guys to end up like UPN.
By the end of this, one of you !@#$ in InQ will lose a good chunk of your AA. It is tradition.
I think BK's fa moving away from you was good.

You mean 3/4 of DEIC's wars?
Silly DEIC surrenders though

I think it's just you, lol.
But its enoguh

In this thread...
You see people putting out bold statements, getting said statements proven as incorrect, then backtracking, issuing another bold statement, and so on the cycle repeats.
Bold statement.

It's not bait if he doesn't hook me. Then it's a free snack. And I don't hate you. Honestly you just frustrate me. You were a poor ally and you're shaping up to be a worse antagonist.
Yes SK was a target, but the three of you (MP, Keegoz and yourself) would have had many more options if you had run better FA in the months leading up to it. Given everything that came to light about SK and some of their conduct post signing but pre silent war, dropping them was clearly the better option. When I was talking to syndioo leaders post war pre mensa treaty, I was able to confirm that paragone did in fact garner a lot of good will, and could have been the nucleus for a game changer if it wasn't immediately thrown into the faces of potential partners
My main problem with NPO is that you have no understanding or empathy of the political costs those around you pay. Due to the fact that your FA is crystallized (hate syndicate, loathe TKR, play the victim of the hegemoney) you're never going to incur the same FA burdens of those around you. You're never going to have to go out on a limb for anyone so you're never going to have to sacrifice for them.
And a loss is a loss, whether you attacked first or didn't.
Rip me. Well played. That's the most damage anyone has done to me this war.
If you would rather i post for steve i think the hook got into you.
TKR and TS hated us first; bot vise versa. NPO was actually open to BK/BoC, the main people we curbstomped last time, into allying with us when it lead to tkr cancelling on both.

can u imagine being as bad at playing a text based nation simulation game as bk gov is
Rose gov?

Silent war too, when rose did an early surrender in classical fashion.I assume you are referring to NPO's First Time where we blitzed the Syndicate so well we actually got props for the first time in our bitter rivalry, then got swarmed by their allies as we got no flank coverage?
Go back to screaming "for steve" like a lunatic. Serious FA doesn't suit you.
And now that you give me an excuse
FOOOOOOR STEEEEEEEEEVE!

thanks for reminding us greatkitteh
youre welcome.
FOR REMINDING?

I'm not quoting back to the chain, but a massive problem with a lot of people perspectives on war performance is that they are focused solely on stats and are forgoing the context of those stats. Also, everyone is only looking at the war damage and paying zero attention to the political ramifications of this war. I'm going to lay out my perspective here, starting with strictly military.
Best war performance: TKR.
The Knights Radiant may have fought on easy fronts, but holy shit did they fight on a lot of them. They also set themselves up to be one of the most impactful in the second round. Consistent high performers who delivered again.
Runner up: Rose.
First time in a long time Rose has been great rather than simply passable, but we're finally back. Hit by an alliance with almost 100 more members than us, we fought our way back with only minimal help from a pantheon that got dog piled and a WTF with only 10% of the members of BK. Decentralized milcom went a long way for us this war.
Third: Zodiac.
Pinning Mensa, even briefly, is no easy task. I've heard the Chola half was far superior to the BoC half, but haven't paid too much attention myself.
Fourth: Syndicate.
Recovering military after a seven AA dog pile. Wozzers. The intial planes only strat may not have worked out as planned, but the recovery is incredible.
Fifth: Pantheon.
Last minute blitzes and getting dogpiled are not recipes for success, but Pantheon has dug deep and stayed on top of things. New gov members have giving Pantheon a taste for blood and they've proven that they are a force to be reckoned with.
Now the under-performers.
Fourth: Cornerstone.
Bad econ set them up to lose billions, and they did. Very early on they were the worst for net damage, and there is almost no way to recover. And when LPS actually graces us with his presence, that stat will just get worse.
Third: Black Knights.
Given a target they should have beaten by sheer size, BK's blitz was mediocre but their follow up was non-existent. Chewed to pieces, BK fell apart on a critical front, even with a fair amount of help.
Worst: SK and VE
Tied because they were neck and neck in the race to irrelevance in this conflict. Almost broke Rose's record in 168 for fastest to neutralized.
Alliances needing comment:
NPO. Spending billions in lost income to keep yourselves in the lower tier makes you annoying, not unkillable. And what's been done with the limited resources hasn't been spectacular.
Lordaeron. Being the sixth man on a seven man dog pile and rolling smaller targets without even posting a DoW is not impressive, no matter how hard you shit post. Uncountered and untested, lordaeron might impress later, but I doubt it.
Now for the winners of the current and post war foreign affairs landscapes.
First: Rose. Everyone wondered if new Rose could fight. Allies, opponents, third parties. It was the one thing that clouded everyone's perception of us. Now those clouds have been !@#$ parted. "Rose can't war" was sort of accurate when we were in the upper half of Paracov, but now it's the battlecry of losers referencing years old wars because they've run out of shit to say. We hit like trucks and are hung like horses. We got a swagger that's earned and I can't wait to spend the next 3 months politely turning down MDP offers.
Second: Pantheon. They'll get shit for the VMers, but they, like Rose, have finally proven undoubtedly that they can throw their weight around when it matters. A solid ally not just in intention but action, they'll get shit from IQ for a couple of wars, but they've proven to those who actually pay attention that they can hold their ground.
Third: Hogwarts. TEst, but run by someone with finesse and nuance? Terrifying. HW is set up to be king makers in the post war landscape.
Now for those with much worse outlooks.
Third: Black Knights. The days of the fun meme loving goofballs are over. Former allies scorned, BK finds itself playing back seat to an NPO that might have been looking to swap it out at one point. BK is in a very constricting position, and it's their own doing.
Second: VE. The plotters are back in control, Milcom is garbage, FA options are to get vassalized by NPO or die in a vacuum. All the work done on VE since Silent has been undone, and then some. Survival is on the line, but old names don't fade that often.
Worst: Lordaeron. Dropping then undropping NPO, begging to join syndisphere then back tracking, shitposting uncontrollably, bragging about a war performance that wasn't that impressive and mostly a matter of circumstance, openly plotting against a war partner (polaris) and unceremoniously dropping an MDP ally in their announcement thread of another treaty. Maybe NPO is desperate enough for more lower tier advantage to keep them, but they're going to keep the leash short.
Edit: CF is my special smol friend who always steps up and Satisfriend is bae.
but if we're not unkillable why arent you killing us yet?
-
this is exactly why we need to purge victor ASAP
-
You also are double our cities, you whale-hippownedThat's it? I build more than that.
Also Fortify negates 10% damages (Supposedly, you never know with Sheepy's calculations).
-
Then I guess it's a good thing that it's their guys getting wrecked, not ours.
At least kastor was wrecked into my war range. I wonder if roq will let me
-
You're mostly a 9 city mark. The way how the war mechanics work now, you'd lose just from people (With more cities) rebuilding on you throughout the battle since you won't be able to do enough damage to overcome the rebuys - especially on tanks.
If Fortify spam didn't exist, you'd be right.
I do around 1000 tanks per strike - assuming we have 2 people on one person I'd say its feasible we can do enough.
-
This is what passes as banter nowadays?
Have you ever considered that perhaps he just wants to keep you in his defensive war slot bro?
Then the defensive slot shouldnt be wrecking him.
-
On behalf of Zodiac, I formally apologise for the damage done not only to Joe Stupids nation, but also any damage done to Hogwarts' reputation along with any emotional damages caused by the naval bombardments. In the hopes that Joe stupid may be able to afford therapy and find peace in himself and his nation, I will personally be donating one dollar to the bank of Hogwarts. I hope others follow suite.
Signed for Zodiac:
Emperor of Yang: Bezzers
Chief naval aggressor: Subin
All those other less important people
Im following suite when the war ends.

Look, I'm not complaining. Feel free to stay below the 10 city mark and have your allies burn, but I'm pretty sure you're wrong with that assessment unless you're saying your members are horrible at coordination.
Not to start that flamewar all over, but even if NPO miraculously brings people up mid-war (before BK's switch, it was nessesity to stay low tier and the timeframe was short, especially since a massive bulk in score would theeaten tsphere) we're going right up to a tier syndisphere can hit us in. While right now we can choose our own fight.
-
Thx m8. Never though of it there.
-
Then the real stupid one is whoever made the title. (MONEY) FOR JOE!Ya but the topic says it is.
Trying to win 2017 ; yes.Please do, it's like greatkitteh's in a spam competition, one where (s)he ignores replies to their bullshit and then spews new slightly grosser bullshit.
-
Partisan can we DoW on NPO with the victory condition that greatkitteh is never allowed to post on the OWF again?
Hogwarts cant hit anyone in NPO anyways, and the way tkr is going, it wont make NPO give concessions soon
-
Woah now, leave Fark out of this.
No out fark in this war!
