    Ah, that explains the 10k score drop :P

    Excuse me, it's 20k. 

    Also, I'd like to clarify - while we might have declared war on NPO, it seems like they're really the ones declaring on us.

    Good fun nonetheless, we'll try to keep to it.

    (Plus, considering what happened the last time we got on the first page of the alliance leaderboard, it seems appropriate to bring ourselves off of it as a safety measure :P)

    You probably should research more about those World Wars. As it's not as blatant with it being that.

    Very Original. Germanic culture dates back centuries BC but Americans think it only lasted for 30 years in the early-mid 1900s

     

    Yeah, so actually I'm a pretty big fan of history. I do know this stuff, but chose to snipe at VDS because of the "No one ever took over the world by following the status quo," which, while obviously not true for 99% of German history, is within the realm of acceptability true for WWII. WWI, on the other hand, was definitely a alliance-filled shithole of nations going to war, which was at least in part attributable to Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia for the actions of the Black Hand, which was not a German nation.

    Though I certainly understand the origins of the reaction, I think it was an overreaction, though appreciate that you encourage me to further edumacate myself on the matter, but I'm quite content shitposting rather than being factually accurate. (Though yeah, the Treaty of Versailles was a not great thing and definitely precipitated World War 2: electric boogaloo)

     

    But WWII Germany definitely was evil.

    I can think of two instances where the Germans didn't follow the status-quo, and tried to take over the world.

    ... Neither ended particularly well, especially for Jews in the second attempt.

    It's only 170 right now but I guess you're at least slightly right, Apeman.

    Seriously though, how the hell am I supposed to grow food?

    Hello There,
    If you are receiving this, you are embroiled in the harshest fighting this world has ever seen. Both sides have done massive blows to each-other, and our coalition believes it is time for this to end. 
    It is true we offered white peace in hopes to end the war, it is also true that your leaders refused to accept this. They claim that by us offering white peace (a peace that is inherently without terms or a victor or loser) it is a sign of us winning. In that case, we've already told them we are willing to end the fighting on those terms, as our own offer indicates. As far as we're concerned, it doesn't matter who makes the offer--we simply see no need to prolong a stalemate that has hundreds of people caught in the middle through no fault of their own. We see the stale-mate that this war is, and simply seek to end it after a month of hard fighting.
    There are also rumors that we are running low on resources. This is again false. We have the ability to continue continue fighting for months using our current stockpiles, but we have no desire to do so.
    Not wanting to be constantly attacked for months does not make you a "pixel hugger" or "coward". it just means that you'd like to go back to building your nation and repairing the damage caused by a needlessly prolonged war. It is with this goal in mind we announce the Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ. You may come into this alliance and all your wars will end. There will be 0/0 taxes, so all your money can be spent on rebuilding and we will protect you from raiders free of charge in recognition of that fact that you, like us, desire this war to end. The only two conditions are that you maintain no military and agree to remain in the DMZ until hostilities cease, at which point you're free to return to your old AA or join a new one. This is not a betrayal, just a place where people who are tired of fighting can rebuild without fear of attack while they wait for your leaders to agree to end the war. 
    Your may join here:https://politicsandwar.com//alliance/id=4197
    May peace come soon.

     

    Gotta love that it's all the same message, even if it's different people sending it. Responded with the fact that this war really isn't that bad relative to others and that the DMZ surrender camp seems like easy pickings for any raider with half a brain. Also that its one member seems to violate the "no military" rule.

  6. It only counts the top 11 alliances as of 3/27. 

    I could probably do more, but I got lazy and the sheet was taking a while to load...

    sorry.

     

    Nah, it's all good. TFP isn't quite a "big" player in this conflict by any stretch of the imagination.

  7. Generally, I feel that tracking score alone is a gross misrepresentation of the actual situation.

    (of course I'm just salty that BK has lost half its score and stuff)

    Here's the militarization percentages from the buildup to now:

    tfw TFP is left out of all the fun graphs

     

    We're fighting Lord aa ron the most at a quick glance too. :c

  8. I don't think you're looking at this correctly. You've been sipping the Syndisphere Kool-Aid too much.

     

    Take a look at tS for example. They have an average of 808.63 infra per city. To give you a little perspective, Cornerstone, Lordaeron, and Zodiac has a higher average infra count that them, and that's just looking at those 3.

     

    So you can say that these alliances aren't hurting, but they are, that top isn't saving them and they are in danger of losing it and they know that.

     

    In TKR their mid tier has fallen and will continue to fall. So this idiocy coming from that side is hilarious because we'll be at your top's door in 1-2 rounds and once that falls they'll have nothing to show for themselves.

     

    You and your ~300 infra per city. Anyone who tries to rise in Lord-aa-ron gets beat down by a rather untouched top tier. Sure, the alliances are hurting, but you can't deny that you're hurting too, and 1-2 rounds aren't going to change that, nor will a whole other month's worth.
