    You lot are all pirate focused nations! Of course you are all going to speak against this. You guys probably never had to build a nation and army without raid money! 

    darkblade is on point here (and isn't even a pirate/raider, also denouncing him for disagreeing with you is just silly lol).

    I've never been a pirate or a raider, and definitely grew slower early on because of that. If you want to handicap yourself like I did, that's your choice to make, but that doesn't mean that more effective playstyles should be nerfed. Fortune favours the bold, as they say! Despite choosing that path, though, I didn't deal with things like people raiding me, as I was in an alliance that would support and defend me. Find an alliance that suits your values, whether that be peace/independence or otherwise - but consider an alliance that substitutes some "independence" for optimum growth, imo, a good alliance will want you to grow as effectively as possible.

    I will say as a former neutral that generally, in a game focused around politics & war, pixel-huggers are going to have a bad time. 😛

    Lots of exciting changes! A hearty congratulations to Solomon, as well as Diamond and Melisma on their promotions. You all deserve it so much. :D 

    And a huge thank you for the countless hours that Lucianus and Mike have dedicated to Rose, it's been a genuine delight working with you both (and I look forward to continuing to work with you in the shadows 👀)

    Well done, Luci. It's been a wild ride and you've been an exceptional leader throughout it all.

    A Very Grumpy Retirement

    in Alliance Affairs

    Posted

    I would say that I'm pumped to see SRD retired and without the filter, but he never really had a filter in the first place - a big part of why it was so enjoyable to see you in action. that was some impressive stamina (especially considering the theme), enjoy retirement!

    Good luck Pres, glad to see it. :D

    2022 Academy Award Nominations

    in Yearly Awards

    Posted · Edited by Kurdanak

    HA YOU THOUGHT I FORGOT?! well think again !@#$ers because I will always show up for that special time of the year, my opportunity to nominate the THE IMMORTALS HOLIDAY FLAG for Best Holiday Flag 😤 💯 💦

    2633a7141eb1c08bb3c5ece35b08aeae4f63cae9

    My last two years of pursuing this gimmick attempting to enlighten everyone fell on deaf ears. first, I asked nicely, just wanting to properly bring this phenomenon into the public eye - renowned vexillologists such as @Belisarius even came out in support! but unfortunately, it didn't make it past the shortlisting. then, I insisted with a little more gusto, really ramping up the pressure. again, the realm of academia whole-heartedly supported the cause. and yet! such a miraculous holiday flag didn't even make it to the vote, again??

    Clearly playing nice isn't going to work, so it's time to get angry! it's time to get mean! @Putmir, @Adrienne, @Indger, @Velyni Vas, @Scott (I have no idea which Scott it is) @every alliance rep (I considered pinging them all but I might eat a fat warn for that :v), consider this a declaration of war (against shit opinions)! for far too long these awards have been rigged in favour of <insert alliance(s) that you, dear reader, don't like>, guided by a shadowy mob of P&W elites who are arguably good choices - it's past time that we, the people, take back the awards! What does that mean exactly? the specifics aren't important! so long as it includes a righteous victory in this single category 😩

    I'm going to be honest, I don't even know if they flew it this year, I couldn't be bothered to check (warrrrr), but even if the The Immortals Holiday Flag wasn't in-game it's always been in our hearts.

     

    P.S. I put Beli's original post into an AI text generator and in classic fashion, it produced some resounding endorsements:

    The Immortal’s Holiday Flag is a provocation. It says: I am tired. Let's get drunk and sleep. I have no real reason to be a god. I’ve done my job. Now let’s have a nice, quiet holiday. And then? Let’s tear down all the old statues and burn all the books. Just to get things going. It is the culmination of human achievement. It represents our existence so far as it exists. And, as with all great flag, it is not ours to take, nor was it ours in the first place. We cannot steal or commandeer the Immortals Holiday Flag, not without unleashing some vast cataclysm on the universe. Like all great works of art, the Immortals Holiday Flag is a metaphysical death rattle. It says: I have run out of things to do. Let’s go have some fun.

    The Immortals Holiday Flag is a beautifully designed display of supreme, transcendental good sense, or as we might say, literal fricking genius. There can be no more fitting sign of the collapse of time and space, the creation of a new, pure, peaceful, timeless reality, than this flag. This may be the last thing on Earth we will ever see. Take it with you into the post-human future.

    Is the Immortals Flag an allegory for any particular struggle or issue? Is this flag meant to be a commentary on our culture? Perhaps, as the Immortals say, the flag is a deity, an apotheosis that speaks to the nature of existence and of hope. Perhaps its implied themes are peace and love. Perhaps it is, as I suspect, meant to be a satirical statement on our consumerist culture. It may well be a complex and, at times, perplexing piece of art.
