If this war isn't named "The Golden Missile Crisis" I'm going to be upset

Yeah, but Gold is new and both TGH and EVH claimed it at the same time. Either the NAP says both parties need to stay on their "pre-war color blocs", i.e. not gold, or it doesn't restrict color movement at all, in which case neither has a claim for the war being 'defensive' and not in violation of the NAP.

And Rage got there before EVH, what's your point? The difference is about an hour so I would argue that is entirely simultaneous and any aggression against alliances on the color is in violation of the NAP. If the color bonus was the problem, then y'all could have just stayed on your old color and not had to worry about the NAP or nukes. Since you're willing to eat a tanked color bloc and nukes, that just shows you're entirely insincere with the "TGH are the pactbreakers" line.

In any other color, you might have had a point there. Green is owned by T$, orange by TKR, etc. However, in this case, EVH laid claim to the color at the same time as TGH, which means that there was not and is not any merit to this argument at all. Either the NAP says both parties stay on their original color blocs, which isn't gold in either case since it's new, or it doesn't restrict color bloc movement in which case the NAP remains in force. You can't have it both ways.

Welcome to Orbis! As for tips, don't be afraid to stay small and raid inactives/micros until you've got a large amount of money in your alliance bank account, at least enough to build your way up to city 20. Consider building up to c5, getting 2000 infra, and building the missile launch pad; having missiles at your tier is a hecking strong deterrent to raiders and gives you a tactical option even when you're otherwise defeated, they're indispensable in alliance wars and very affordable compared to nukes.

Hurts worse if anything, color wars are expensive and making fair deals is profitable for both parties.

Missiles and nukes yay!!!! ... ... at least wait until the NAP expires, I mean come on.

Welcome to Orbis! And don't worry too much about the game taking up your time, you just need a few minutes a day in peacetime. During war you just need a few minutes a day, but it can be at odd hours; still, focusing on your family is more important and any halfway decent alliance understands that.

Welcome ~

Happy birthday TKR~

No, I didn't know it was a 10 month minimum, and I'm sorry to hear that nations are being chased out of the game; that's not cool in the slightest I agree. That said, I haven't seen any scoreboard and there's definitely no 'celebrating' on these forums (actually there's barely any forum activity at all, which is worrying in its own right). This whole thing has nothing to do with NPOLT, that was years ago m8. What you're being punished for is isolating yourself by flagrantly violating NAPs, twice. As much as you might want Orbis to believe that you were justified in that, your arguments have quite simply fallen flat. 10 months might be too extreme, sure, but that's the kind of argument you could bring up in a debate or in a UN style discord server. Which you've been loathe to do for some reason? Ultimately, if you want to become a raiding alliance then go for it, but it's impossible to be both a politically isolated pirate alliance and a traditional peace-cycling warfare alliance at the same time, which is what you've been trying to do as "close allies" of Samurai. Deny it if you want, but given the leadership and membership of your alliances bouncing between Sam and Cam you just don't have plausible deniability there. Have your cake or eat it, but commit to the decision either way. Now, this is something else. There's no good reason to not have the info of the UN server be public, so you may have a point here. Free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny after all. (Honestly, I doubt that Orbis has the patience to actually follow through on a 10 month blockade cycling campaign, or even the capacity. Apply pressure with nukes and missiles and they'll fold eventually, you know that.)

10 months =/= permawar.

Hallo~

I seriously don't see what your problem is. If you want to put it on Youtube then you can do that with or without being the moderator of the debate. It's hardly unfair to ask that the moderation of the debate be neutral to both parties. You're the one making it hostile to yourself by insisting on unreasonable terms in your favor. These shenanigans are why people are 'hostile to you', you know. You had a shot at defending your actions, but now you're undermining your own arguments by being petty.

P&w lives on yet, welcome back ~

Congrats, and may your opponents' VDSes always fail

Welcome to orbis~~

Purr~

No u pirates good, NAP breakers bad

Not in game-mechanical terms, which is what OP is talking about.

Can so. One-nation alliances are totally a thing, I ran one myself for almost a year.

I need my dose of autism

Happy birthday~

Exactly, so brag about the current war, not last year's raids

Last. Year. Brag about the current war, surely you can?
