Best of luck and congrats to all involved. Godspeed, Guardian and Grumpy ❤️

Damn, you beat me. I went Members, clicked over two pages, picked a new member, and clicked on Mountania under Nation Activity.

Five.

I would disagree on the skill front. If all we did was sit and nuke, I might agree because that doesn't require a ton of skill necessarily. But as I'd mentioned, we by and large didn't have the means to do that since we didn't have nuke/missile stockpiles and because there was a limit to how many nukes/missiles could be purchased, and therefore launched, a day, there were other efforts going on that did require more skill and creativity in order to cause damage. That is how most of our members spent last war fighting. Those efforts had varying degrees of success depending on the war and how our offensive wars were going. Agreed.

That's not actually all that accurate because it ignores what they had to overcome to get there as well. Like Az alone took 5b in damages and came back from it entirely to wind up at 6.6b net where other members didn't. Those two were incredible - Azaghul did an amazing job with his wars and with choosing targets and also with coordinating with others and RedFive was well equipped with his nation strategy for this type of war and utilized it well. Trying to write off their accomplishments in this war as just being in whale range ignores the full picture and attributing the positive damage of a full alliance to just two members, regardless of how well they did, is kind of silly. It's like me saying "Oh, we'll just ignore the ones that took a lot of damage and didn't fight back as much." It's full picture or nothing in my opinion.

Not to mention that we didn't enter that war crazy stacked with nukes or anything (with the exception of one member). There was nuking and missiling targeted at high infra people of course but given that most of us didn't have stockpiles and you can only build 1 nuke/missile a day, there was also a fair amount of coordination attempts and other efforts going on in the additional wars we had. I say attempts because those were not easy by any means when constantly under fire from defensive wars that we typically couldn't fight back in very well and so our efforts didn't always pan out (good job NPO/BK). Overall, I think we could have done a lot better on coordination but given what we were up against, I'm not the least bit disappointed in how we performed. We accomplished what we wanted to accomplish during the war, we learned from the experience, and we had fun doing it.

As the true leader of CoS and TKR (erm... SK), I approve.

Best of luck, Megsie

No problem, hope it worked.

Pre, if you want to keep your images maybe also try making the imgur link http instead of https. That's what solved a lot of the broken image issues with imgur before.

Congrats and best of luck to you both

Good luck, Squeegee! Happy retirement, Brooklyn!

Curious to see what you'll do with Pantheon. Good luck, Ethos

We "no-showed" a meeting right after everyone on both sides had all agreed to running talks, the entire point of which was not to have set meeting times since those were getting hard to stick to as the holidays drew closer and were always difficult for the Europeans to make. Stop trying to act like we intentionally tried to stand you up when it was evidently nothing more than a misunderstanding on both sides. Also, you didn't ask if it was still on, you pinged us and accused us of walking away again. You should listen to Vack a little more, he has a much better understanding on the situation from our perspective than you've ever displayed. We've literally said as much multiple times on the OWF, the peace talks channel, and in private discussions with some of you but you chose to ignore everything we said in favor of the narratives you pushed on us for each of those issues. If dragging on the war was your goal, that's fine, you definitely succeeded in doing so and gave us fuel to keep fighting. I don't believe it was though, given the reaction of several alliance leaders within your coalition, yourself included, when we decided we didn't want to deal with your nonsense and left.

Improving the war screen as well. Don't want the discussion on this to die.

Funny, that's how most people view you. What do you think these show exactly? This is basically you guys shrugging them off and being like "figure it out yourselves". A deal could have been worked out long before that point but none of your coalition seemed at all interested in working towards finding any solution to letting protectorates out because you didn't want to give up slots, from what I was told. When I tried to talk to your side about it, you guys jerked me around and wouldn't give a straight answer for nearly two weeks. Once you guys did, the answer was "we won't allow you to talk on their behalf, they have to ask us themselves" and then you specifically jerked them around for about another week before finally saying no. Your side's protectorates, some of whom surrendered, disbanded, or were asking us weekly for peace towards the end of this conflict could have left months earlier if you weren't so vested in a handful of extra slots. Did you explain that to them?

Who's Nzaeem? There's no spin required, the story writes itself. You can argue it all you want, Fist, but when TFP didn't enter at the start, you decided your entry would be to hit our protectorates, which is the most pathetic entry to a war I've probably ever seen. So, congratulations on hitting our micros while we were engaged, a worthwhile victory indeed. At least our protectorates, including one which had literally just formed a few weeks before the start of this war, managed to weather a three and a half month war while stupidly outnumbered, which is miles ahead of where yours will ever be. Your protectorate is literally asking us for information on peace talks because they weren't hearing anything from you.

There's no NAP.

Slacker.

Nerdsphere, comprised of The Commonwealth, Grumpy Old Bastards, Guardian, The Knights Radiant, and Tesla, admit defeat to Chadsphere (Coalition A), comprised of too many alliances to bother listing, and would like to congratulate Chadsphere on their hard fought victory.

We actually love shitty drawings. That's half the fun tbh.

Should explain that to your sphere's leadership since it seems they didn't get the memo.

You wanted the negotiations to take place between me and you, which was understandable. But that means I was the sole negotiator for our side. From my viewpoint, at least while I was talking to you, my personal thoughts on any of the terms besides our own was irrelevant. My job was to represent TCW and TRF's viewpoints to you, which is what I aimed to do to the best of my ability. I suppose this is the disagreement. We don't see our allies/coalition mates as less important regardless of their size and while I understand where you're coming from with this, we aren't one to steamroll them into agreeing with our viewpoint. Regarding the 6 month NAP, sure, people were upset about that but I don't think anyone blames TGH exclusively for the entire thing when you were part of a large coalition. I certainly don't.
