See, this is why I keep insisting on the use of Cannon-fodder instead of meatshield. Meatshield is so offensive. Cannon-fodder is at least a powerful term.
People never listen to rosey, and other people get their feelings hurt as a result ?
Since I can tell the context will be lost, I'll point out ahead of time this is satire.Good luck rebuilding people who got peace, one day I might get to join you~
I'd have to disagree. 'Cannon-fodder' implies that the individual in question is expendable, to be cast aside without question. Cannon are indeed powerful, yet the term 'cannon-fodder' itself is the most denigrating description that could applied to a combatant. Fodder is cheap animal feed—the type of two-bit mass-produced slop deemed unfit for human consumption, if there ever were such a thing. And as a hog devours the grain from its trough, so too are you swallowed and ground up and thoroughly digested by the insatiable furnace of war. The gasoline for an airstrike and you are one and the same.
On the other hand, being a 'meat-shield' is a much more dignified existence. It suggests the ultimate sacrifice and purpose—that one is willing to give everything, self destruction notwithstanding, in order to defend an ally. Indeed, we must all strive to be meatshields on this glorious day.
Ave Pacifica!

I'll just quote the game, "Tanks are ground battle enhancers. They dramatically increase the effectiveness of your ground army."
Tanks are in a good place as is. Unlike with soldiers and planes, you must assess your situation to determine whether it is appropriate to build tanks or not. One of the major complaints with baseball is its mindless ‘clicker game’ nature, so I take more thinking between clicks to be a good thing. And both sides in the current war have deemed tanks to be valuable despite all their downsides. Tanks are a situational unit. If you build tanks while your opponent has air control, you rightly deserve to suffer.
The concern over updeclares is certainly well founded. As the game stands, they are only possible because planes are fast to destroy and slow to build. Once prospective harpooners have to win an uphill battle on the ground as well as in the air, it becomes nearly impossible to effectively bring down a larger nation than your own.

Explain how you will fight an alliance of equal numbers as yours, that has a substantial whale tier and a strong supporting mid-tier, while yours have mostly mid-tier, is demilitarized, and is given only two days to prepare. In other words, the situation Chaos found themselves in at the start of Surf's Up.
Answer that, and then you may argue that tC can potentially hold tier better than Chaos.
You can’t, hence why you didn’t. You didn’t and so N$O didn’t have the opportunity to play Captain Ahab. It might come as a shock, but nobody is asking you to defend your e-reputation.
It’s no more an indictment against your alliance than saying that BK has more members than SK.

Now we play mental gymnastics to try and consider them the same war.
The only mental gymnastics here is interpreting "the war stats should not be taken at face value" as "the war we are fighting now is the same war as Surf's Up."
Granted, there hasn't been any excessive fellating over the war stats, but Elijah's statement is an entirely fair one to make. War performance notwithstanding, it would be disingenuous to insist that BK + TC has the same potential to deal damage to KERTOG/Chaos as vice versa.

Any CB is a valid CB, my friend

it only took two years of doing nothing for Yakuza to join a war...defensively
it seems really disingenuous to be like "oh we're really taking this war to heart as an ability for us to train" but you literally have been dodging wars since your existence and have never felt the need when you were a protectorate to help BK or whoever by joining in
Yakuza was the Principality of Zeon in the past. Don’t know why they bothered to rebrand if they decided to keep the weeb theme anyways...
They fought in the Ayyslamic Crusade on KT’s side, so it isn’t fair to say that they have been neglecting their treaties or dodging wars their entire existence either ?

Would be a nice QoL addition, and not much clutter added. Also saves Sheepy's servers a few page loads.

Yep. Don’t care for a bit of playful banter?

I think you’re projecting. t$ did nothing wrong there. Unsportsmanlike, maybe but definitely not immoral like you paint it.

But it *wasn't* on the page. Is it possible that AK looked at SG and thought "ISOLATED RAID TARGET" without having paid attention to your recruitment thread etc.? While i'm not going to comment much on the validity of their raid, the page was cited extensively to justify BK's intervention. Now that justification appears to be nonexistent.
Hey there Partiboy. I’m sure it’s possible that DAK overlooked something, but since when has sloppiness been a defense for fricking up? Given the whole Oblivion-tC debacle, it’s pretty clear that you don’t believe in the necessity of treaties for intervention. For the sake of argument, let’s say that big bad BK is bullying helpless little DAK without reason. Will t$ step in to defend its protectorate from this unwarranted attack or is Orbis forever doomed to live under jackbooted IQ hegemony?

1) Nation Name: Kislev
2) Preferred Swim Suit Cut: I'm having a plastic surgeon install steam turbines, 12 inch guns and triple torpedo tubes on my athletes.
3) Are you willing to spend lavishly to bribe the judges?: We provide the judges and we'll channel a portion of the voluntary donations to you. Deal?
4) Will you kill everyone to win?: Imagine being this insecure.
5) Are you going to get pissed off when Fraggle Rock runs away mid Olympics with all money and laughs?: Will Fraggle Rock be pissed off when we do so at the start of the games?

I mean, what are your solutions to improve player retention?
The issue here is that I don't have the required data to know with accuracy why the retention rate is so low, neither does anyone else. So making major and incredibly sloppy changes just to maybe possibly improve retention maybe a little maybe a lot is not a particularly convincing topic of discussion.
I would rather just see Alex focus on getting the game a higher degree of traffic. If we get 500 people per month, and only 25 people stay, then if we get 2000 a month, maybe we get 100.
Certainly beats proposing half-baked major shot in the dark changes to a problem no one has the exact data to solve.
Hell, the retention rate is 95% now apparently, and this isn't the first "lets make everything cheaper" suggestion we've had implemented in recent times.
Considering Sheepy's track history, he should avoid pushing out any large changes to the game at once. 20, 10, whatever. I just see that quite a few people oppose the change on principle or because it's Leo posting. Cost reductions to anything should theoretically decrease the interim between wars and war is inherently more interesting than not war, so that should increase retention.

How long did that take? I know how quickly baseball can resolve itself, i don't much like the idea of essentially staring at the page for hours doing that. I'd use a bot, yanno, if that wasn't bannable for incredibly obvious reasons. I have... just under $37 million right now. Since you know how this works, i wanna ask. If, theoretically, i were to invest all of that right now, into baseball, how long does it take to break even. Assume for simplicity i'm able and willing to play it as much as you did.
All i've ever heard is not to waste time on it, i am genuinely curious.If you really care as much about playing the core game as you let on, a week for a 37 mil investment is a reasonable time frame. If you have no life and want to kill yourself, I managed 15 mil in a day once. I’ve since then gotten over caring about pixels.
Want proof that Sheepy is terrible? Upgrading your players 1 point at a time is more efficient because it nets him marginally more ad revenue.

[DoE] [DoW] NOOT NOOT NOOT NOOT NOOT NOOT
in Alliance Affairs
Posted
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As civil unrest mounts in the BLACK KNIGHTS capital of Yosograd, ayyliens living across alliance controlled territories received the following television broadcast to interrupt their 48 continuous hours of Swan Lake:
The static clears to reveal a single white-black figure. A stark Antarctic sun cuts harsh shadows across the new snow. The television set picks up the sound signal...
...the nations of the world say that the WAP should lay down our arms, beat our swords into plowshares, so that we may establish a lasting peace forged through wisdom and mutual understanding and ... No, the hypocrites cry for peace while fattening on their hoards of treasure won through the bloodshed of nations! They say we are past that barbarous era where man was a dog to man, bird a beast to bird. What do these birds of paradise who have only seen temperate summer know of the nature of the world?
Last year in the Queen Maud colony alone, fifty little pingus, barely old enough to noot, were cut down by Winter’s cruel sword. The average air temperature in the Antarctic wastes is seventy below zero. Do you know what happens to the body when exposed to -70° air? At 15 minutes exposure, heat leaves the extremities. The flesh turns soft; it loses the ability to retain water and blisters. After 30 minutes, it begins to slough off in clumps like peeling the skin off a rotten fruit. After an hour, the tissue hardens and turns black——destruction of the nerves, total loss of motor function. But the body is clever. The body will pay any price to persist just one more second! The blood vessels constrict. Blood flow is cut off to the affected areas. They shrivel and die and fall off. With this sacrifice, heat is conserved.
Society, too, is a body. The world body is afflicted by an insidious disease, a mass sickness of the soul. There are those elements, the pixelhuggers, the dogpilers, which in the interest of the body's health must be cut off and cast out. Those in the 'moral' nations are quick to criticize us. I ask you: when a patient goes under the surgeon's knife, should we consult the necrosed tissue on whether it should be excised? Likewise do we entertain the poison words of the world body's plaguespreaders and fifth columnists? They say that meekness is a virtue, that power is a vice. That disarmament is the only way to ensure a lasting peace. If only we signed more treaties of friendship, held more international talks, we may forever banish the scourge of war.
And what of this belief that speeches and demonstrations and will move hearts and minds? It was Newton who taught that change can be affected only through action, movement impacted by force alone. The speaker pulls out a rifle cartridge from his bandolier and holds it up to the audience. What truly moves hearts and minds is this. Words propagate in atmosphere at just over a thousand feet per second. But this round fired from a Kalashnikov? A grand movement of 2350 feet per second!
And so we will bring you death, and you will love us for it.
NOOT NOOT.
