Also, haven't checked in a while (shitty NPO server always refreshing, @Roquentin told you already potatos aren't servers!), am I still top 100 damage dealer?

First
I'd also like to point out that for me to be a war doger, there'd have to actually be a war to dodge. You weak ass Col B shits didn't dare attacking me for over a month now, I honestly tought it was over. And we both know only reason you hit me now is to pad your stats with infra I bought. Well, sorry to dissapoint you, I give 0 rums about it, but I'll make sure you feel some burn for it tough

I don't know...Arrgh! doesn't seem like a micro that believes in its people.
I'd Arrghue with you that we trust our members so much more than any other alliance, that we've basically given them complete FA, IA and Milcom freedom for their independent nations. (And no this doesn't mean we don't care about each and every one of them, and we do our best to help and guide them, when we feel they need it or they ask for it).

Hmmm. As many put it it's a band-aid fix. Yet it does fix a part of problem, and if you really do have other things planed, sure go do it.
Also I like @ShadyAssassin 's idea to add resource cost to infra (and maybe land?). That will come to effect much sooner, and hit bigger nations harder.

Over the past couple days the knights Templar has been troubling the offbeat powers. It originally started whenever they told us to change our bloc color in which their request was ignored because it's obvious the only reason why they'd want us to do that is because they want bigger money bonus. Then, over the next day, they proceeded to perform espionage attacks against us we know this was an act of aggression, because we didn't move away from red bloc because they have declared war against people for that same reason, as seen in ones cassis bellis. Offbeat powers is taking this moment to acknowledge that we find this as a active aggression and will respond with a war if needed completely open to anybody that feels that they would like to join in.
So much for removing kebab
Who's the 2nd guy? Has decent loot... I mena war chest, yes, warchest

Got removed for being literally retarded.

You on the other hand are not just downvoted by your opposition for being retarded, you're also not being backed up by your own people, cause even they disagree with most shit you say.

Fighting 4 Arghh nations, but can’t expect better from lying trash
Also would consider anything under a month a complete failure on the part of all leadership involved. So don’t hold your breath
Considering TUE is a failure, anything under a month would not be a surprise for anyone.

Who hasn’t Arghh been attacking is better question than who they aren’t. Seems Arghh has been involved in every recent conflict to bandwagon in for loot & lulz. Alliances can & should defend against pirates to keep the balance
Simple. Arrgh has mostly not attacked not profitable/high risk nations. Arrgh has raided mostly high profit / low risk targets. You're one of latter aren't you?
(You're TUE, ofc you are, it's rethoric question, pls don't answer)
2 hours ago, Noctis said:My theory is Pirates mostly understand/respect force, let them raid you without getting hit back hard & they target you more. Blood for Blood is generally what Pirates understand best in my experience.
That's your experience as a constant raid target I take it? Like I said earlier, Arrgh does what it does. However when you go and declare war on us, and start hitting people who weren't raiding you before, well, then all you do is paint a big target on your back.
2 hours ago, Noctis said:Cost is such an arbitrary number. I think if an alliance or bloc can train some nations to hunt Arghh until able to successfully suppress them; those nations would be great fighters in any war then.
Although as long as the Pirates white peace who they fight; I would favor the same for Pirates after they experience being Pirated a bit & learn not to hit some AAs. I think pushovers ask to raided again & again; although not like I think Pirates should be fully exterminated or diplomacy is needed much with them.
You could do that yeah, some bigger alliances have exactly that, dedicated 10 city Arrgh handler experts. Can you imagine your whole point of existnace to counter some random pirate riads? I know right. Other than that, us pirates adapt. You develop some nations to attack us and war us for a long time. I bet you we'll just find a way around that too. But one thing you lack in comparison to us is persitancy. Raid is all we do, and we'll find a way to do it, whether you like it or not. Can't be said same about your endavour.
59 minutes ago, Thalmor said:Arrgh isn't a conventional alliance that you can declare war on and beat. Their alliance culture and the way they operate is very unique. You can't fight them and get them to leave you alone. The most you can do is set up your members and government so that Arrgh won't raid you in the first place and so that if they do, you can respond and make their raids very unprofitable.
People can correct me on this, but the only alliance to actually 'contain' Arrgh was UPN back in... 2016 I think? I can't be bothered to check. That didn't last to long though and Arrgh was back to doing their thing quick enough. Still, that's 1 'success' compared to all the times Arrgh has been declared on by different alliances, and the same thing usually happens: 1 week of decent fighting, a few weeks of meh fighting, and then the war flat-lines and things go back to the way they were before the pointless DoW. Arrgh is not a normal alliance and you can't treat them like a normal alliance.
Yeah that was one time, and we all agreed it was bad decision to do it back then. It was supposed to be for a year, but we found a way to get out of that almost 6 months in that thing. Last time we got decently recked was Paper's Please. Almost a week after the war ended, I had my pirates resume raiding TKR, t$ and everyone involved agaisnt us, with our brand new 1 ship and fortify tactics. Was working miracles till our raids forced everyone competent to adapt to us, and to cry to admin till he changed how fortify works. (Found a workaround for that too)

Old news. It's fun how despite being at war with us for so long, it took them this much to take action again, almost as if they waited for big daddy's approval first

That my dear, is how coaltions work. It's not hive mind, every representative has his own agenda. And that's why attempting to make counter offers is retarded. They probably barely even agreed on that term alone, and now you want to change it to something taht at least some of members dislike.
Good luck with that

Way too wordy.
Waaay too many terms.
I sure as hell wouldn’t accept it till it was trimmed down to something more manageable.
EDIT:
Looking through these more closely, the only ones that I like are the AoD, Color Bloc, and War Dodgers.
The rest is just too much. The Arrgh one seems odd. It’s allowing Arrgh the initiative to raid TKR, and TKR can only reply once a hit happens. Should just push for a blanket NAP there.
Fairness in Trading is a odd demand too.
Public Statements, while lulzy, that’s a lot there to pay attention too.
I had personal displeasure to accept TKR's peace 3 times over in 6 months. No alliance made such moves as they did towards Arrgh. They hit us with 2 other alliances for hitting their ally's protectorate ffs! And after paper's please where we accepted general terms so our allys could get out of war (so tehnically I accepted their terms 4 times). And then 2 weeks after Arrgh changed to 1 ship raiding and we've been more or less at perma war with TKR. So yeah frick them and frick their initative. They get to respond, just like any other alliance does, while Arrgh gets to do it's own thing, like other alliances do. And, it would be retarded to ask of Arrgh to not raid TKR, if raiding TKR is profitable. Members would just make their own alliances and raid them anyway. I'd rather Arrgh be place of gathering for the disobent and free willed, than Arrgh being a shell of it's former self and those people scattered all over the place doing just as much, if not more, damage to farmers and the like.
22 hours ago, Prefontaine said:Lets go through the terms in a condensed form
- Article 1 and 2: Obvious end of the war.
- Article 3: cosmetic terms for various alliances. I can tell you the TEst ones come from the Mensa guys forcing people to write a Dio-based essay, so this is just a jab back. I fully expect something mocking Khorne. The GPA one is a result of our love for GPA, and the fact that it's what tCW effectively is in our opinion (and it's only a week).
- Article 4: Color names, if you care about this, you deserve more war.
- Article 5: War dodging, the main problem apparently. Some people VM'd legitimately, some people did not. During papers please TKR and friends issued a "no nation above 700 average infra" clause in the wars peace terms. This is basically no different. The people who tried to hide from damage, legitimately or not, need to have a certain infra level.
- Article 6: The answer to fake paperless alliances.
- Article 7: Arrgh was in perma-war with TKR for being pirates. Call it square and let them pirate, unless they pirate you, then defend against those pirating you.
There are no "harsh" terms anywhere in there if you look at the history of terms imposed by alliances in this game.
If any of these terms are too unacceptable, a coalition wide payment of 10B per term that needs to be removed could probably be arranged.^ This. Terms like these were the norm for a while now, and if other side has done it before, why couldn't it be done to them as well?
20 hours ago, ℟Ø₣Ḹ Wⱥ₣₣Ḹᙦ said:They didn't work hard enough, otherwise they would have double checked their trade offer before posting.
Edit: It's basically the same as not putting a lock on your bike before leaving it unattended, if you don't take the time to ensure it's security then oh well, sucks to suck.
It's more like getting off your bike, and then remembering you didn't put the lock on, after taking half a step, just to see an idiot speeding on your bike, that he stole a second ago and is already 100m away. Yeah. And stealing bike is still theft, regardels of if the victim was an idiot or not.
20 hours ago, Noctis said:I guess I’m just not aware of what they did to really deserve these terms. If the losing side wants peace & doesn’t think the terms are unfair; then nothing wrong with accepting. Although if they agree to the terms & think they’re unreasonable; they mostly just have themselves to blame for accepting an offer they’re unhappy with.
Would the alliance who needs to help another in their color politics rather do that or keep fighting? Then there are a bunch of other terms they need to make same decision on, although maybe progress can be made if they separate out which they’re willing to do.
Maybe the other side should pick one or two of them they’re willing to do & counter offer with that. (This was posted as a discussion, rather than a take it or leave it proposition.)
These are proposed terms, aye. They don't need to accept and they can perma war. Or they can suck it up and accept it. I've accepted more than one bad term in my day, but overall, it's not always as bad as it initially seems. The only terms that were kind of harsh that my predecesors accepted was the one for Purple Spy War. Everything else was more or less a hit on a ego, and we all know TKR's side has enough ego to take it all.

To give a serious answer, there is some frustration from members that do not have a chance to get a slot or as many slots as they would want to have.
This, combined with the hard task of getting so many alliances from the attacking coalition to collaborate with each other, also causes stress on the leadership and even tension between some alliances.However, I do believe that each and every alliance had its time to shine and has had a fair amount of fun.
Adding to this the fact that: a. some alliances get to see victory in a global war after years and b. some new alliances/tiers are getting at long last a loss
you can see that there are many other reasons for people to (if not have fun) be happy.From a pirate's point of view, war is always fun, no matter what, even if there is minimum action.
It's by default more fun than signing everyone in your tier and having no (hard) wars to face for months or years.
Gib slots blyat. So far managed to use 2/8 of my slots at same time.
On 11/7/2018 at 10:49 PM, Lordship said:Probably plenty of fun to go around on both sides. For us, the first time we've had the challenge of finding creative ways to fight back against the swarm of adversaries, and for them the thrill of having their first decisive victory. I don't think you can measure fun in any reliable way, so ultimately it's what each party makes of it!
When you did the exactly same thing to us, we found a way, to raid with 1 ship, and win mad dosh. Just look how much growth a total noob like Ripper got over 3 months of it. Unfortunantley certaint people who cried to admin a lot blocked that play style. There were other viable options for no mil raiders to earn loot and have fun and even hit back, but again someone's constant whining cut all of those out. So, guess have fun not being able to do anything due to changes you requested? (Using You as a collective of non-Arrgh people, not Lordship/TKR/EMC in particular)
On 11/8/2018 at 1:18 AM, Anneal said:Eh, there's a bit of excitement if your enemy isn't that good and you have a fighting chance. Getting stomped with no chance to resist is a far less exciting. Plus, war starts wearing out over time and when it draws out too long then even that gets kind of boring.
Try a few months of that. Yet still I'm here and ruining other people's fun. Woe is me.
On 11/8/2018 at 1:36 AM, Anneal said:This game is functionally just a cycle of war and peace anyways. You fight in war for a few weeks, and eventually the excitement from it starts to wear out a bit, then you have to peace and keep yourself occupied with rebuilding your warchest and nation. Then the boredom sets in again when you have to wait six months for the next global war to happen.
Have no idea what you're talking about. This game is constant cycle or raiding and raiding. Occasionally you take a break so you can raid more later.
On 11/8/2018 at 2:17 AM, Anneal said:That was my bad then. My point still stands though. It’s a problem with the game that it fails to offer much of anything, because the only interesting thing that happens in this game is the rush of excitement you get for the first month of war and spending the rest of its duration waiting for some kind of treaty to end it, and then waiting several months for another war to happen.
Again, no idea what any of that is either. Altought ending treatys sounds good. How do you do that? Other than that, I have to agreed, this game lost a lot of viable raiding options over time, we need to get those back so everyone can raid more.
Obligatory Arrgh! at the end.
Arrgh!

And thus the next Weltkrieg began in Ernest. The months of peace had come and gone. Replaced with another global conflict. The world shuddered at the millions of young soldier boys were marched off to war once again. Knowing many of them would never return.
The finest war machines assembled and launched to crush their enemies. Cities will burn, farms will be raided, rivers will be red, and through the ashes either the old order will remain or a new one will form. Or a status quo once again will emerge like a Phoenix against the odds of death itself.
Only time will tell young Phoenix. Only time will tell what you become. Formed by the millions sent to die to shape the world on a new course.

Just as a little side note (don't really have anything to do with either sides but thought I'd just tell you): You can reset a vacation mode. If someone goes into VM for let's say 3000 turns, they can just go to the VM page and reset it to the minimum of two weeks and then their VM is over after two weeks.

want proof? after the bounties Brasilia returned the extra, $95m: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=64542&display=bank
and we still have plenty left plus we gifted some people after we posted the bounties that had been good to us. we weren't joking when we send we had a warchest. it's not a big surprise that an alliance under constant threat of attack would have a proper warchest. sheesh, you guys really are the tryhards we keep saying you are.
as to the last part, lol. you can't count dude. we posted 23 bounties, 23 nations + shifty already had one. everyone from the blitz in TEst has a bounty. might want to check your math before you make yourself look stupid. the ex-AIM new guy that joined today, who cares.
There were people who who at the time were dissapointed that they didn't get a bounty on them. Then there is me who got less of a bounty thant the rest. I cba to factcheck all your bullshit. I've quick results from quick search. They could be wrong, but you're still weak regardless, so what's the point of arguing it? To divert the attention from your poor performace? Actually frick it. You want war? Fine. Have it. Run into your VM. I'll be waiting. When it comes to wars I'm patient motherfricker. I've waited longer for some people. Some I'm still waiting. Once you do exist your !@#$ mode, I'll nail you in ground again and again. You can run, but you can't hide. Piss off wrong people and you'll get consiqences.

I guess he was serious about his threat of a mass VM. Well, that's not good, that's not good at all. For the last year I've been trying to prove that warfare can be viable no matter what the difference in funding and available combatants is, and this ignominious surrender just plain undercuts the point. You could have had it, you could have proven that war can be war and not just a game of 'whoever has the least pixels ragequits'. The whole martial and political aspects of the game would be entirely unsustainable were wars always decided so easily and so completely, and the game would rapidly become a sterile wasteland of VM and inactivity. I cannot help but be deeply disappointed.
Yeah they're a bunch of cowards with empty threats, should have just taken peace, instead of !@#$ing out like this.

prefontaine definitely was extremely butthurt when he left Alpha. he wanted to be made gov and Plac wouldn't put him anywhere near a gov role and that really pissed him off. he kept trying to stir up drama in Alpha, thinking he could find support from other members but failing, which is no surprise given how he's behaving in this thread. he was barely ever even accepted because of his history and Plac said he had lied to him straight to his face on at least one occasion. my guess is he had "plans" before he joined.
it's not really a surprise that prefontaine won't leave our sphere alone given how that all went down in Alpha.
You and what money? You just spent what you could for war posting pointless bountys, and, best part, RUN OUT OF THE BLOODY MONEY :D
How do I know? You went and posted same boutny on everyone, but me. You couldn't match the bounty on me since you run dry. Also there are peopel who didn't even get boutny. You'd expect you fat pixelhugger whales to atleast know how to count and divide. Guess your math is as good as your nukes, war experience, war capacity, activity, bite and bark.
