'Everyone belives it therefore it must be true'.
You can ascribe moralist motivations and labels to alliance leaders acting purely in the self interest of their own alliances, but that doesn't necessarily make them true. Particularly so on when it applies to persons who employ a more realpolitik mindset to their decision making process. Plus you left out a greater part of the context regarding that partisan - VE drama too which makes the labelling rather 'convenient'.
I think you can agree though, Pfeiffer was the bad guy. I know from Rose, we thought of t$/Partisan as the bad guy for ditching us and then supporting Pfeiffer atagonising us.

I think the game has plenty of villians rn, and they differ depending on what side you are on.
People don't go build blatant hegemonies because people are hyper-aware of them now and will snuff them out before they are completed. Thus if one is being built, I doubt you'd know about it until it was basically already here.
I actually think the game is far more alliance-centric than people want to believe and most alliances are out here to ensure their own goals/gains. Spheres are merely built to help in acheiving that.

You seem quite pressed, friend. Carrying around all that anger cannot be good for you. The only fantasy on display in this thread is Buorhann’s. It is wildly inaccurate, and it is ignorant to believe that the Syndicate was somehow running a conspiracy theory to !@#$ Cata over.
If you're at 'You mad, bro?' as your argument, then I'll take my W and go.
I certainly won't take lectures from t$ about letting something go though lmfao.

Pot calling the kettle black, eh? You’ve built your career in FA on being a liar, a manipulator, and a schemer. The newer players may have forgotten that, but I certainly haven’t.
You can barely remember conversations or events from last month accurately. Keep living in your fantasy world Wana.

As you and I both know, FA is way more art than science. What I told Cataclysm is that “we wouldn’t stop them” from entering the war. If that doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement, it’s because it wasn’t. Mind you, the decisions that happened came quickly. Cataclysm gave us a 30 minute notice on the fact that they intended to enter. Perhaps had they not been in such a mad rush, they would’ve thought through the consequences of making that decision.
With regards to your point about us agreeing to hit OB, our trepidation with that idea is well documented, and both Cata and Paradise were keenly aware of that. It was that trepidation that caused members of Cata high government to flame members of mine. We agreed in principle that if it came to a situation where we believed OB would blitz us, we’d be alright fighting them. Cata and Paradise were both sure they would hit us. It didn’t help that members of Cata were openly antagonistic to members of OB.
You can believe what you want to believe happened, Kev. Would you like to hear the truth? We sat paperless for several weeks as we meted out our options. During that span of several weeks, we explored the options available to us, and eventually decided to sign Eclipse. Other alliance leaders had the same exact opportunity to bend my ear during this period. It’s a shame some didn’t even bother to try.
The relationship between us clearly didn’t work. While Cataclysm has aired as much dirty laundry as they can manage, the Syndicate has opted to take the high road. As I told both Cata and Paradise in the channel that night, I’m not going to invalidate your feelings based on what happened. However I will continue to call out distortions of what occurred. Relationships are 50/50. Anyone who believes that either party was singularly responsible for how the relationship ended is either pushing an agenda or not particularly emotionally intelligent.
You really just cannot stop yourself from lying. You have not taken the high road, nor did you stop yourself from leaking (I've caught you trying to do it multiple times in backrooms).
You had hours to ponder our proposal of a hit and were active in brainstorming on it.
No one should trust anything you say at this point. You're making yourself a fantasy.

At a certain point one begins to wonder why people still bother to type up game suggestions. Every last one of them falls on deaf ears. Even if they didn’t it would take 2 years to implement any meaningful changes. Anyways I’ll probably get a strike on my account now for daring to question the work ethic of the dev team. I’m sure they’re working very hard to get us another two national projects out in the next year. I only pray that these won’t be designed to be useless and only exist as a poor justification for there being a dev team like military salvage or fallout shelter.
You do realise we do not code right? War changes are almost universally disliked by everyone. Only thing that unites the community is that the current system is shit and then whenever you float an idea, we get people who cannot agree on how to change the system. Even this thread has people divided.
For what it is worth I have always agreed that the older war system was a better template to tweak from than what we ended up with. Point is, the game owner has no desire to ever back track on it afaik.

How dare we not run the alliance like an anime as he suggested. Then we'd have the power of God and anime.

Just now, Gaius Julius Caesar said:I appreciate you posting a screenshot of me looking at the numbers and saying "we can't help this" as proof that we apparently..... What? Didn't like the idea? "ooooh you said we didn't have the numbers, you didn't say you disliked the idea, your point about this being a selfish war and us not burning for no purpose to bail us out is ruined by this screenshot of an embassy."
"We asked them what their CB for joining was. We asked them what the benefit to joining was. We received no solid answers, basically only being told "We want to" and soon after we were told "We're going in.""
Do you also want me to leak where you were helping us with CB ideas? Or that you also entertained ideas of joining as well.

I'll participate in this song and dance again, because this is the forums, and not Royal Orbis News.
Cataclysm came to us and said "Hey, we're joining this war on the side of TKR." They made it clear to us that this was not them just joining to attack Midgard, they joined specifically on the side of TKR, to defend them. They were not allies with TKR. They were allies with us. We made it clear that we did not support the idea, and would not get involved, but we said to them "You are a sovereign alliance, we will not tell you what you can and can not do." but we also made it clear to them that we disapproved of this, and would not participate in their plans.
Cataclysm joined the war, and as soon as they did, discussions began about ending the tie between us and them, because it was a major breach in trust. People can claim "Oh, well you didn't tell them no, so how could they have breached the trust, you gave them permission, this is your fault" and to those people, I will again point back to the fact that they are a sovereign alliance. They can do as they please, but they also bring upon themselves the repercussions for their actions. They came to us to talk about joining at around 8pm EST, and we made it clear we would not be joining and we asked them what their reasoning for joining was. We asked them what their CB for joining was. We asked them what the benefit to joining was. We received no solid answers, basically only being told "We want to" and soon after we were told "We're going in."
Cataclysm made the decision to go in, despite us being opposed to it. Cataclysm had no evident CB to go in. Cataclysm joined solely because they wanted to defend The Knights Radiant, and Withheld Sphere, an enemy sphere of ours that held alliances we were repeatedly hostile with. Cataclysm knew they were going in alone, and that we had no reason nor any interest in joining, and they acknowledged that they were going in entirely alone.
Cataclysm came to this decision on their own. They went about it on their own. The repercussions of it are their own. We cut the tie with them three hours before day change, and they were attacked two hours later. Cataclysm acted selfishly, with no regard for what was best for the sphere. Cataclysm was attacked by Eclipse and Terminus Est, because they had joined the war as a third party. People can say whatever they desire about the war, but it was made abundantly clear that the war between Withheld and Midgard did not involve Ouroboros, nor did it involve Wayward.
If Cataclysm acted with no regard for their allies, or sphere-mates by joining the war, and bringing members of Ouroboros into the war, something that was clearly likely to occur, why should The Syndicate join the war? We made it clear we didn't want to help TKR. We made it clear we didn't think Cataclysm joining the war was a good idea. We made it clear we were not going to get involved. Cataclysm severed the tie of Wayward when they went against the interest of their allies in joining the war, and they brought this attack upon themselves.
Why should The Syndicate join the war to aid them? Why should The Syndicate go against what is best for itself to hold the hand of a former ally who foolishly joined a war they had no business joining? If The Syndicate joins the war against Eclipse and Terminus Est, it is clear and obvious to everyone present that Rose will militarize and join the war, and Wayward and Withheld are by no means strong enough to defeat both Midgard and Ouroboros together, but that there is the crux of the matter.
People do not care about the "sacred importance of the treaty." People do not care about the "Betrayal of one's allies." People do not care about the "Reputation and Legacy of The Syndicate." People are angry that The Syndicate looked at a situation, saw that it was a disaster, and chose to not join. People are angry that The Syndicate looked at a war that it had no business joining, and knew would be a disaster if it joined, and chose to act in the interest of itself, and its members. People are angry that The Syndicate is not going join a war only to be defeated and take a massive amount of damage, so people can mock it. People are angry that The Syndicate chose the logical path, the same path that I point out the vast majority of people in Orbis would have chosen.
So no, The Syndicate does not apologize for not giving you all entertainment. No, The Syndicate does not apologize for making an unpopular decision. No, The Syndicate does not apologize for not sacrificing itself for an ally that cared nothing for it, and enemies that mocked it and attacked it at practically every chance they had been given in the past. If you all believe your words will shame The Syndicate into making an idiotic decision that does not benefit itself and instead casts aside the wellbeing of the alliance for no reason, than I urge you to look in the mirror, because you're living a fantasy.

Who made him leader and why? Why do you keep following him. I love Keegoz, but he’s gotta be one of the worst all time leaders in PnW.
He was leader of Rose and several other alliances and while he was leading he’s lost like every war. He’s deadass 1-8 in wars or some shit. Someone go to the wiki and get the numbers I promise you its one-sided as !@#$.
Also, I’m drunk and may regret this in the morning. Oh well.

Cataclysm has for too long been sitting idle. We've looked for opportunities to have a fun, interesting war and believe one has presented itself.
Apologies to those who will get upset by this.
Cataclysm hereby declares war on those involved in the Midgard offensive war.

Just to give a bit of an idea of what the loot modifier would could look like, this is something Village came up with:
Came up with a modifier for beige and ground attack loot based on relative city count, it'd only apply for the folks who're only in range because they're inactive. In essence, the modifier makes it so you make less money as your city count increases, meaning you're not drying out targets so much and you're also not going to have such a drastic falloff from C15 to C16, meaning there's still a benefit to building mod = max(min(1 - (your_cities - enemy_cities) / 15, 1), 0.2). The modifier is minimum 20% of loot you'd normally get, decreasing as your city difference changes.
Other possible formula is max(min(1 - (your_cities - enemy_cities) / your_cities, 1), 0.2)-

City 15 seems like a very arbitrary number, no? What made you decide to cap it off at that point?
It is where the lower tier projects are currently aimed at. The end of the Resource Production Center and just before AUP.
There is a chance it could be further tweaked but you have to draw the line somewhere and given there is (sorta) one already drawn we went with that.
