Firwof, you must not have been reading very closely. I responded a week ago in this thread, here: But let's talk more about your commentary around "how people are being treated." The accusations made to start the thread were some about IC bullying, but quickly devolved without provocation into a lot of OOC namecalling. My response then, and even moreso now, is that @Buck Turgidson hasn't done the basic bare minimum of actual gameplay on his end. He wants to play victim and wail about conversations, but take no responsibility for his ACTIONS. He could and should join an actual alliance with military protections that defends its members. Arrgh is a network of raiders - and to be clear, this game benefits from groups like that - but they are not well setup to protect other members. Additionally, on basic gameplay, Buck could be on Arcane as a military policy to better protect against spy attacks. And most importantly, you would think someone that is having this much trouble with spies would prioritize building the Surveillance Network project. Instead, he has sat in his own solo AA or in Arrgh and whined about the consequences of inaction, instead of doing something about it. I'm not defending Oblivion's actual accused actions here at any point, though there is limited evidence of the perpetrators here and @Mayor's name being thrown around a lot without proof. I'm mostly upset and responding primarily to the fact that Buck is pretty terrible at the game of Politics and War, and is taking it out on other players by making this a hostile space full of OOC name calling rather than actually doing something about it. Oblivion is a unique culture, I'll give you that. But at the end of the day, they are also part of the recognized political structure present in Orbis. They defend their own members and have M-level treaties with major alliances. That is a big difference. There can be/are consequences for actions. Which seems to be missed by stable genius Buck.

and just like that, he got pulled back in. Thanks for calling me weak-minded. I very well may have a short temper both in-game and IRL, but I'm fascinated with this choice of accusation. But then I read down and found that you continue to have very poor judgement. Minimum wage and renting being thrown around as if they are some sign of weakness and lack of value. Get a grip, man. Some of us have built real, life-long friendships from this game. Spend time together. Enjoy each other's company. Including across plenty of alliance affiliation lines. I assure you, getting out is the least of our issues. Seriously. Just focus on the game. You are the one that went after Mayor and now others with entirely inaccurate, out of character accusations. You are upset because you are choosing not to play this game the way the rest of us are, and then are facing consequences for it.

Its a knight dressed as an astronaut. Supporting Eclipse, obviously.

This is a great theme and great group of people. Best wishes for the new future, yall!

From an in-game rules standpoint, you are actively soliciting spy slot filling. It’s hard to prove but still against the rules. So would encourage you to tread carefully. but alas. The crux of the issue here is you spent half your post accusing people of having no dating life (and assuming Friday night and Saturday nights are the only time for romance for some reason?) and outright talking about @Mayor having ASD despite not having any actual reason to do so. Logs or not, this is not relevant to some in-game, in-character actions. Neither of these things is relevant. But it does create a hostile game community for people who are different. so let me be the first to speak up and say behavior like THAT is not welcome in this community. If you want to deal with in-game actions, then negotiate. Join an alliance that will support or defend you. Play the politics that this nationsim requires. Or accept the consequences of inaction.

Got news for ya, your defensive war slots are a more popular destination than the OWF!

May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him. This is tragic news and never something to take lightly. Sending love to everyone.

It’s working too.

I def was not expecting to get a Hogwarts call out on the OWF today. Beautiful. Congrats on all the successes!

Best wishes to a long and comfortable fight, Bunnet. Enjoy every second with the family and make the most of it. Cancer sucks, go kick its ass the way you've kicked mine in game so many times! Blessings to you and your entire family.

Props on good theme choice here. Looking forward to making fun memories!

Congrats on the aging.

Resource stockpiling has been largely completed by major alliances to prep for wars that do not occur. The current war mechanics incentivize one side to turtle and slash costs within a day or two of the war beginning. The war system has been an issue for several years and ignored. If we improved the war system, more wars would be fought or at the very least the wars that did occur would involve more resource spending... This isn't a complex issue. It is just an incorrectly attributed cause, in my mind.

Y'all are gonna have to explain what exactly they stole for TKR. You can accuse them of stealing then they can defend themselves at least. But I'm real confused here on how TKR is involved other than just "orange man bad."
