Mensa stronk! Dio happy. Much dead pixels.

I know. That's why nations have the sovereignty to choose an alliance based on tax rates or not.

Well, as sovereign entities, alliances should have the freedom to display whichever information they see fit. I for one couldn't care less about an alliance's tax rates, coz I assume such tax rates have been implemented for the greater good of the alliance. I think people who join an alliance, because their taxes are low, do it for the wrong reasons. I can see those people immediately leaving that alliance if taxes rise considerably. An alliance is supposed to be a team. An AA made of people who are just seeking low taxes is quite likely to struggle a lot more when the going gets tough, because most will look for the easy way out. Alliances that don't display their tax rates have a clear advantage imo - a member who joins that alliance will likely stick around, regardless of potential tax rate fluctuations. You don't have to be a genius to realize that people who specifically seek low taxes aren't the greatest team players. I don't mean to offend anyone, just my 2 cents...

Happy B-day, TKR!

Fair enough! But just picture the following scenario: Your AA provides aid such as grants. Would you feel comfortable knowing that the deserter would benefit from said aid and would ditch your alliance when the 1st AA war occured?

So, imagine you had your own AA. Then some guy applies to join it. You go check his nation and you see they just deserted an alliance involved in an AA war. Would you let them in?

There's indeed a peace mode feature - it's a game called Farmville. Good luck with your alliance tho!

They're usually pretty good tho. I think Soccerway's problem is that they try to cover everything. Trying to get so much information, they're bound to make mistakes once in a while. It had happened before and it'll happen again, I'm sure.

Then I guess we should email our buddies at Soccerway. http://us.soccerway.com/international/europe/european-championships/2016-france/s7576/final-stages/?ICID=TN_02_03_03

I know Belgium has been disappointing so far, but they have a pretty good squad. Unless you think Slovakia is gonna beat Germany and Hungary is gonna beat Belgium... I haven't been impressed with neither Germany nor Belgium, but they have 2 of the best squads in the tournament.

I've been enjoying the Copa América more than the Euro tbh. Copa América's games have been much more open, as I was expecting. Plus teams like Argentina and Chile are a joy to watch. I'm pleasantly surprised with some teams in the Euro tho: especially Wales and Croatia, although Croatia was always gonna be a dark horse for me. I'm Portuguese and I can see us getting trounced by them, especially coz we've been abysmal, even more so than I was expecting. We don't have a good right back, our goalie sucks; when our starting left back is unavailable, the other one has to play and he's atrocious. We have no good striker and the coach is an idiot, always fielding the same players and making subs way too late in the game. I mean, he even replaced an offensive player with a defensive one late in the Hungary game, as he was terrified we'd end up losing. Portugal should be out, quite honestly. This is the crappiest group I can remember in a Euro and we didn't manage to get a freakin' win! Then again, we're more dangerous when it's do or die, so let's hope we can at least give Croatia a bit of a fight. Before the Euro I thought 1 of Germany, Spain or France would win the whole thing. France has talented youngsters, but still very raw. They play at home tho, so we all know what that usually means - that they may have additional players on the pitch, if things start to go south. Hopefully the talented Portuguese generation ahead delivers, coz this one is an eyesore. Ukraine was a let down in this tournament, Turkey too, to some extent. I'm curious to see how far Belgium can go, even tho they'll probs get knocked out by Germany in the quarterfinals. For the last 16, I'm looking forward to Italy-Spain, Croatia-Portugal and Switzerland-Poland.

You'll recover in no time, you'll see! Glad that P&W is a pleasant experience for you! All things considered, I totally agree with you. In spite of seeing several alliance colleagues and my sphere in general getting rekt, I personally am glad UPN got declared on and that now we have this beautiful mess of a world war. I no longer have blue balls and I for one don't care if I get rekt and my nation ends up succumbing to pixel genocide. At the end of the day, we're all here to have fun and no one is really hurting others. There's always gonna be rivalries between alliances, but that's just part of the game and we must realize that: P&W is just a game and, if you can't have fun playing it, then it probably isn't for you. Sure it's better to win than to lose and in my personal case, it's obvious my sphere is being dominated. Will that stop me from having fun? Hell no! Finally, I've never played (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways), so I can't compare it to P&W. But from what I've been reading, I don't regret missing on it one bit.

Leave it as it is please! It looks like one of my drawings. I'm gonna be the next Picasso btw. This war web looks really hi-tech, I suggest we put it up on the wiki, which is the P&W equivalent to the fridge.

"Out of the blue, Rosie O'Donnell appears and says: 'Bill, gimme some luv'."

"Bill Clinton himself featured in those porn movies - coincidence or not, all the girls ended up getting syphilis."

I like most of the suggestions. I'd say the "Word War", which kinda works on 2 levels. On one hand it's a bad pun (World War). On the other hand, it refers to all the yappity yap yap that preceded the war. Some of you suggested cooler names tho. Just my 2 cents.

"Then the bike started fighting Pee-Wee Herman, claiming it was tired of him farting while riding it."

Nope, we dropped for MI6.

You sure can: I've also taken the liberty of summarizing this thread (https://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/13335-orbis-on-planet-bob/?view=getnewpost) for you:

"Then Japan retaliated by having sex with Bill Clinton."
