I'm not really referring to in-game achievements as a legacy - it is remarkable when a community of any type keeps it together for a decade and a half. Like many, I've made and lost entire groups of real life friends in far less time than that. When I talk about legacy in this case, I am referring to what I mentioned in the second point of my post which was Building a lasting community with people you like that stands the test of time is its own kind of legacy, irrespective of wins and losses.

Local leftist denies people the right to self-organize :serious: Kidding aside, I think it’s important in a game like this for people to be able to freely associate without the threat of needing to pack it up and find a new home because their alliance wasn’t involved enough. For many, I would even suggest a majority, the community element of the game is far more important than the politicking that goes on. Further, I think communities generally self-organize in such a way that the active players find active alliances, and others find communities that fit them in other ways. In your own case, for instance, you didn’t leave Arrgh to join one of these less-active alliances, but TKR, your own micro, TKR, then Rose, before making your way back to Arrgh. Finally, I do feel like picking this fight with UPN specifically is kinda lol considering they’ve got a 15+ year legacy they want to uphold, which is a rarity in any game, let alone nation sims. Perhaps that goes to your stubbornness point, but folks are unlikely to throw in the towel because “oh shit, folks are mad we haven’t merged yet”.

Hope you all enjoy whatever comes next. Always been a good time to chat. Congrats on a good run.

Everything is extortion when your starting position is “everything I produce is mine; if you raise taxes I will literally quit gov”.

The most enjoyable part of retirement is convincing yourself “ok for real this time I’ll stay away” best of luck, congrats to all

The amount of self-assuredness to name yourselves the mole rats demands nothing but my respect.

After literal decades, someone has finally changed the verbiage. I welcome PnW’s first MDoOP.

A little unsubtle, perhaps. Really excited about this grouping. Lots of history here and more to be made!

I really don't care about the fight at hand, but this did make me chuckle. I am certain I could find a UPN member saying this ten years ago lol

An authoritarian Waffle House? Seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of the spirit of God’s restaurant.

someone from Rome come get this dude, i think he's stolen one of your crosses

People literally have not done this kind of shit in like a decade and a half. Weird as hell

Massively overestimating our retirement package

the leader of the game's preeminent democratic alliance trying to subvert the will of the people. of course.

seems extremely weird to impute one enterprising young man's actions (mine) onto an entire alliance. in the same way that i do not blame you for the fact your alliance mates continue to use full naval attacks on my 300 infra cities, nor should you ascribe one devout traditionalist's actions to another.

you seem to be upset. I (a normal, non-gov TKR member with no access or understanding of current peace negotiations) saw that a war name thread had not been created for this global, and thought it prudent (as mentioned above) to get the ball rolling as I see there's still quite a bit of discussion to be had, i'll leave the thread open for a little while longer to continue soliciting input. thanks!!!

is this a nomination or a question

I thought it Extremely Prudent given basically all the narratives have played out and a sizeable portion of one coalition has already peaced out that we open a War Name Nomination thread to get the ball rolling. Depending on response volume, expect a poll in like a week(ish)(?). I'll keep track of suggested names in the OP. War Name Withheld The Wayward Knights [REDACTED] War The Ball Rolling War The War Nobody Deserved

All we gave him was a shit-ton of work to do and an absolute hellion to work for in @BigMorf.

A+ strat. Force everyone in our coalition to try and decipher Deulos’ screeds so we can’t pay attention to our wars it’s working
