Once again, I do think this supposes something that has thus far never occurred and, as Krampus mentions above, likely would result in pariah status for such offenders. In such cases, I would expect the community to effectively moderate in place of administration-enforced penalties. Building a moderation policy upon the most extreme potential infractions, then using it to police the more banal ones seems relatively ill-advised, especially when the functional difference between what is an offense and what is permitted is a single missile attack.

Respectfully, I feel like this completely does away with some real misery-mitigation techniques players have been using forever. It is absolutely miserable to be on the losing end of a war like this, and players routinely try and provoke beige so as to be given a chance to simply not give a shit for a few days. As far as I can tell, the point of moderation should be to force players to comply with good and common sense rules, not to force them to grit their teeth and bear arguably the worst part/time of the game. If you’re bent of following the letter of the law here, I would instead suggest changing the letter of the law to better reflect the way the players of your game have long chosen to play it.

Massive shoutout to the moderation team for manually peacing out the only defensive war I’ve taken since the opening nights of this war. Really appreciate that one, folks. /s

It's only right. Let's have some fun!

responsible and pragmatic, good work fellas

the most implausible part of this story is me losing at pong

I resent this

pls deinfratize harder

The internet is a place where people are free to be anyone they want to be, but you always knew you were getting his authentic self any time you talked to Red. A terrible loss for anyone who knew him.

Should we take this to mean Clock will only seek out 1v1s against severely outmatched spheres? Nobody wants this lol. Don’t be so disingenuous.

half the posts are you bro lmao

The line that it’s some longstanding treaty between HW/Celestial is about as disingenuous as it gets, and you and everyone else pretending it’s anything more than a matter of convenience and pragmatism with a clearly-defined expiration that will likely go into effect in a matter of weeks is the only joke here. But go on, get your outrage upvotes. It’s the only thing the talking heads in this wasteland are good for.

local carpet beiger mad at strategy

how dare you take steps to protect against a thing that we very notoriously did six months ago

Say what you want, these micros are doing more for the OWF than the old guard have done in years

Respectfully, I think anyone complaining about how stale the current state of the game is has never actually played in a stale meta. There are currently four larger/substantial spheres, two of which have formed out of others in the last few months. There is also a handful of other notable spheres. Two of these spheres are currently fighting each other, which makes it the sixth different combination of alliances fighting each other in a significant war within the last year. Obviously there is some overlap in those wars, but that’s probably as dynamic a meta as I have seen in a nation sim in a very long time. Of course there is always room for improvement, but to look at the current state as the same tired old dynamic when, in reality, the game is quadri-polar (tri-polar at a minimum) strikes me as letting the perfect become the enemy of the good.

where’s that detective fella when it’s time to snuff out the Mysterious HW Leader

I think this has been brought up before, but the nature of the way the in-game nomination/voting goes means the first people to make nominations have a significant edge, even if they are just the worst possible names available. Why would you name a war based on events of the first day? That's how you get horrible names like Error 522. NPO's Last Time was called Dial Up basically until the last possible moment, which is just a horrible name when compared to NPOLT. Bring the nomination and voting threads back to the forum - a place where players have to create an account to even finish the tutorial - and save us from the horrible in-game forum discussion thread UI.

Given the war system and the espionage system are separate entities, I see no reason to make one dependent on the other.

How can you even make this assessment when BW just gave up a couple days into the fighting? If anything, it represents a gap in fortitude, not a gap in strength. Except this isn't an argument in bad faith. Like six months ago Rose and t$ got together for the express purpose of rolling HW. Obviously in games like these, narratives shift and relationships change quickly, but it's not like we're talking about ancient history, we're talking about something these alliances just did. Waving this off as a bad faith argument because "no trust us, Wana said he doesn't care about G/G anymore despite the historical stance of t$ over the last X number of years!" seems awfully naive to me.

babe i do IA. i'm just here to shit talk and mix it up. don't lower yourself to the amateurs' level
