Insert Name Here

The last proper version of TEst had Pre in it and, at the time, the alliance had been reformed with the sole intent of ending the longest hegemony in the game's history, which we accomplished due to Pre's insane FA skills to bring the likes of Partisan, Roq and Abbas together vs TKR sphere. Any subsequent versions are knock-offs and indeed reflect nothing but lack of creativity to come up with an original theme. TEst is a historic alliance, so hopefully no more mediocre versions are created to tarnish its name.

Democracy is bad Good luck to the new gov.

10/10 for the unreadable doodles, which take me back to the SK scroll days.

Well that sucks, I just read the title and skimmed through the OP. Still a good call to break away from Florida though.

Well done, you guys certainly got what it takes to form your own sphere. Honestly what I'd love to see is you guys and KT getting rid of all those messy optionals, and start your own sphere together. Either way, good move from you guys. Best of luck.

The treaty web is starting to get interesting again, with several smaller blocs. Unlike last global's meta, with 2 big spheres and WELP, which is considerably smaller than those 2 spheres were. Good luck to the alliances involved in this one.

There goes the hegemony conspiracy.

2 pretty solid alliances and 1 of them even has Piggy! Both were kinda isolated, so it's nice seeing them get a new ally. I also like the former enemies and now friends part. All in all, cool treaty.

Chill dudes and great fighters, best of luck.

This is why trying to enforce punitive reps is stupid - ofc CTO was not gonna let it go without a revenge war.

Man VM'd right before globals, it was like clockwork.

Someone has to, though. Mans posted the flags, which makes it an official bloc announcement.

Good luck to the person who's gotta add all those flags to this war's wiki page.

What changed, and I don't like it, is no more Clarke's Sister, 4 hour long Kastorium shows (where the actual show was 1 hour long and post-show was 3) or Les Paul Supreme talking about suing a teenage girl for pnw banter.

We're very similar minded, so my heart says yes even though my head says no.

That's always debatable. For t$ for instance they were rolled in their last 2 globals, the main AA that's had it the easiest recently is Rose. Even that in itself isn't necessarily a valid reason for deserving to be rolled. But you're old guard, you know full well everyone gets rolled sooner or later in this game. That said, I haven't checked the tiering for this one. As far as I know Florida might win this or put up a good fight. Waiting for Hidude's tiering report though.

How is having a training alliance trying to hide score, fam? Don't the likes of Immortals and TFP have them too?

Not comparing the size of the spheres, bud. Even you know your alliance isn't the only one who decides to sign whichever alliance they wish. Plus spheres are dynamic - in the next global things won't look like this, it's always been that way since NPOLT.

Isn't your top 5 alliance tied to another top 5 alliance?

Not that special this time coz it's sloppy seconds.

Thank you for the free nuke stats bois. https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=34467 Need some more to pass Boyce, so keep 'em coming.

Interesting, curious to see which direction you go, FA wise. Looking at most o your treaties I'd guess Rose sphere, but I'll be honest: y'all are now 2nd in the power rankings and have way too many treaties, 2 with other top 5 alliances. Would be cool if you formed your own sphere, but that's just my irrelevant opinion. Good luck and I'm sure you'll do stuff with your new powerhouse.

I'm seeing the word "voting" thrown around a lot here. I hate to break it to y'all, but democracy in pnw sucks ass. You don't need to invent the wheel to find out who's got potential for any role: it's literally whoever takes an interest to find out how things work. You then let the person explore their area(s) of interest, make a few mistakes if needed and go from there. For FA in particular, you wanna run as tight a ship as possible, and have as few people involved as possible, unless you completely trust them, and even then it's risky.

Guardian aren't flip floppers, if an ally asks for help then they come through. As for Rose I'm p sure it isn't their place to tell Guardian what to do, and they know that. As for TFP yeah, they're too busy hoarding CTO prots to try and save face from not countering Guardian. The only alliance that will get bad PR for this is HS, who I actually like, at least a few gov members. However, they screwed the pooch here. Sure TFP should get some flak as well but, at the end of the day, what people will remember is the peace term.

I'm gonna reserve my judgement for after the 1st global in this new meta. I have 1 huge concern though. This will make blitzes considerably less effective, which imo can only lead to coalitions being even more reluctant to launch offensive wars, unless they have an even bigger advantage than most tend to do when they go on the offensive. Therefore I'm concerned this will make wars less frequent and even more lopsided than usual, so hopefully I'm wrong.
