Hence my confusion. The ones on their side don't need to be persuaded, the others can't possibly be stupid enough to buy what they're selling.

The 2nd one has been there for a while but there's a slightly bigger alliance missing, I wonder which one.

The surprise for me is the effort they're putting into trying to salvage any possible PR they can, as if people are simply that stupid to start believing their BS just because they keep repeating it.

NPO is bad at this FA shit. Walls of text with nothing but gibberish can't deflect people's attention from the fact that you're hypocrites who are doing what you have accused former EMC of. Please continue with the desperate attempts tho, I'm enjoying them. EDIT: @Justin076, they actually have more meatshields left, you just gotta look a bit closer.

Being less mediocre than the most mediocre doesn't take away their mediocrity.

Lmfao, the e-laywering is priceless. Own it, y'all can try to spin it all you want, you just want security and to shut down any possible competition. The attempts at pretending you have some noble goal just make it even more pathetic, you effectively contradict yourselves and do the same you have accused former EMC of, grow a pair and at least have the decency to admit y'all are scared of any possible competiton by coming together in a huge blob against 2 smaller spheres that were reking each other.

Bahahahaha, TFP joined for the other side, can't wait to get my hands on those nubs.

Eh, tbh I'm enjoying the attempts at saving face, PR wise. Y'all don't need to. You've managed to become dominant by doing what you have accused your former enemies of (secret treaties / collaboration when you had supposedly broken up). I'm mostly sad for t$, which used to be a proud alliance that didn't need to play 2nd fiddle to anybody when they had strong leadership, like with the snek. As the hippo pointed out, t$ attacking Guardian and Grumpy for no reason whatsoever just goes to show the 2 supposedly separate spheres were actively working together. NPO is just going about it the smart way, by making their proxies do their dirty work for them, which is the ultimate show of power, well played lads.

Ugh, the salt argument, if you can call it that, is so lame. I mean, just accept that you outnumber the enemy massively. I participated in dogpiles before, like in Papers Please and the last global, not that I wanted them to be dogpiles coz that's no fun. It's actually more fun for the people getting dogpiled on coz you get to raid indiscriminately while they fight for slots. But yeah, just embrace it.

I mean, it's obvious they're gonna win based on numbers alone, especially if you take spy count into consideration and how many of them Chaos lost during the somehow fake war against KETOG. This means there'll be a point where they'll be able to 3x spy aircraft daily, which will drag bigger and bigger targets down. It'd take a huge amount of incompetence for them not to win in these circumstances.

Lmao, I misiniterpreted, nvm. >.>

They don't even need to. They mostly needed upper tier support to allow the rest to spear down bigger targets.

To an extent this is quite interesting. I'm basically just active in wartime these days, so when the treaty web went through all those transformations after the last global, I got mixed feelings. On one hand I saw TKR's former sphere break up, which I thought was genuine because CoS is in their bloc and I know Ripper doesn't sign up to create hegemonies, which meant the other sphere was legit as well. However, I saw a supposedly separated IQ seemingly break up but maintaining a frick ton of indirect ties, which added to how much the former main alliances in IQ liked each other, only increased my suspitions. It was very well played, the hypocrisy from criticizing EMC's paperless treaties kinda blows up in their faces but I guess they can afford it since pretty much everyone and their mother is on their side.

Welp, this had been said on a Discord DM but Kayser went inactive and idgaf. When I was Leader / 2IC in TEst he had told me that his main priority would be to prevent consolidation in the upper tier. Apparently he left a legacy but one that believes the way to do it is fight against a coalition that was reking itself days before and decided to join forces due to solid evidence both spheres in conflict were at risk of being attacked. Meh...

Ah, good times...

I've been in t$ and I know how your FA has always been great but I kinda know what you mean. You're trying to pretend you're not having an impact but you are, fam. Can't blame you tho, it's a smart strategy and t$ ain't gonna be the one to get bad PR. It'll be NPO by using you as proxies after all the crying about how former Easy Mode hadn't really disbanded. Sad to see that t$ has turned into a sock puppet, Partisan would never have let that happen.

Told everybody IQ hadn't broken up but consolidated even further via treaties that indirectly kept them tied to each other with even more alliances such as t$ and TCW. Can't wait for NPO to join the fun. Well played on their part tho, strategically it makes sense.

It is. The real reason we're all reking each other is so we're in better shape to hit NPO / t$ sphere next.

I miss the good ol' days when it was the best in the game plotting shit, like you and Pre. Oh well...

A handsome Arab man, who shall remain nameless, linked me to this. It's mildly entertaining and I don't care much for the politics of it. Fighting pretty much everybody / every alliance over the years removes any animosity for anybody, so y'all carry on. Just a few notes: 1 - Bitterly disappointed that Wilhelm hasn't gone back to his old name yet; 2 - Yui doesn't deserve to constantly deal with the recurrent dumpster fires she had to deal with in Panth and now in TCW; 3 - Pre keeps posting absolute gold. PS: ffs Sheepy, pls code some shit to get infra in all cities to the same level, how hard and time consuming can it be? I like you but you should be more like this admin of another game I play. It's these small QOL details that might finally get me to delete one day.

Got linked to this gem, so I couldn't resist. You got one quality member here, SK. Kinda sucks coz y'all are a chill bunch. Anywho, been away from these forums for a long time, just wanted to say I'm having way more fun in this skimmish than I had in the last global. Alpha / SA have been fighting very well, it's been a nice brawl and my infra is still too high, needs more trimming down.

Damn, so much salt... Idk the new Panth leader but I do know Kata and he's both brilliant and a terrific guy. I also know that t$ is historically the most competent alliance in this game, which is why they're yet to lose a war, having been involved in so many. They don't need lessons on how to conduct their FA, and if they have faith in Panth then at least I have no reason to immediately say this is doomed to failure. Sure this might end up going south, but I'm actually hoping otherwise coz a lot of people would look really stupid. Anywho, good luck OP, do things your own way and as long as you do your best, give the doubters the middle finger, coz talking shit is pretty easy. When things go wrong in this game there's usually several reasons for it and normally just a few people possess all the information as to why. Now to the important stuff: Whilelm changing his name makes me sad. The previous one was much better, please change it back.

Lmao, nvm, I misread. Carry on.

Can confirm. They only worship loot and rum in particular.

This community is actually anything but toxic. It only became toxic momentarily when some geniuses started brining OOC garbage into IC realms. To OP, welcome to P&W. This is probably not the section for an introductory topic but you're new so that's an understandable mistake. My advice is to join an established alliance that will teach you how to play the game and then just do as you please.
