Tell me about it

I fail to see how we are lossing, your side has already lost you've just not come to terms with the loss just yet. Taking out that frustation on people whom bare no fault of their own for the current political situation and calling them "cannonfodder", or "pawns" is just being a dick. You're simply making assumptions due to your biases against the NPO, if you have a community outside this game who you think might enjoy themselves then go right ahead and invite them, just have some perspective for once and don't post mindless ramblings on the OFW. Not really contributing anything to benefit the dicussion here mate. Agreed 100%, these guys will be ages away from shifting any potential balance in NPO's favour and by then I'd wager several would've deleted, left and joined new alliances or gone inactive. The fact is we've had an influx of new players to the game which is a net positive and instead people are being salty because they can't put OOC aside for one minute and are just using it to attack NPO. I admit when it first happened I was at first a bit wary but after thinking about it absoultely no harm can be done from this recruitment drive as more nations means a more fuflfiling game. (Asuming Alex's dodgy servers can hold up), So? Even if it is if they don't get something out of it they'll leave. People accept the 100/100 taxes in NPO because they believe in the community and support their fellow members. Regardless your opinions aren't really important on this anyway, since being an online game the members in that AA have every choice to walk away if they want to.

Nah more importantly they stole Goon Squad's flag.

@redfive Hey mate, Akarin over here might be trying to steal your identity. ;V Also, mfw when I see the new NPO invasion force....

What a strange person.

TCW had regular 6 month elections, before back in September 2018 during Felkey's Prime Ministership. Then it was changed so once elected the PM can remain in office as long as they like and new elections are only held if the current PM retires or is impeached with a 66% vote of the Membership and majority of the gov. So tCW's basically an elected autocracy now. However TBH I have thought on occasion of bringing back regular elections because I like the debates during the last one, and we've had no problems with it in the past. Although a caveat would be providing some requirements in place for eligible candidates. (IE, minimum membership length, previous gov experience required etc) My reasons were much more than just "war rep", its amusing you guys are still going on about that. Haven't you got new talking points yet?

Just to add onto Nizam's point. My load times the last 3 days have barely dropped below 25 seconds to load just one page, also getting that 524 error with alliance pages pretty much everytime I try to load it up. Some days I'm close to 2 minutes to load a page. So its unplayable for most of the day. Today has been pretty good, only got as high as this: On the bright side I'm having fond memories of my old Dial up connection from the late 90's and LAN parties with school mates in the early 2000's.

That's what Rosey meant, they know they've obviously lost the war so he's having a good time in other games, just not this one. :V

Your desperation is quite telling. 2 micros leaving doesn't change the fact KT's screwed, but whatever makes you sleep at night.

Nothing will top that...... greatest thing in this thread. Also.... @Charlie Traveler You have an incredibly sexy voice, if you're not being paid millions to do voice overs one day then this world should burn.

Serves DB right for sending assassins after me on numerous occasions, and for stealing my sweet roll. :V Good luck PO in your fight, and good luck DB hopefully you can use this war to bounce back from, learn some hard lessons and have a stronger presence in FA in the future rather than just clinging to a Prot for safety. Nah mate, its just speaking the truth.

@James T. Kirk @Frawley By order of the Radiant, jokes are punishable by death. Frawley and Gorge you are to report to your nearest Chaos Interrogation site for immediate termination.

We share our pain. ,;p Also I think the worst part is, its not localised if two improvements of the same type get destroyed. I've seen either: "as well as a hanger and a hanger" and "as well as two a nuclear power plants".

@Keegoz > Or when you have 2 Nuke Power plants and both get taken out in by a nuke, twice in the same war by the same guy......

I tried to reply to this before but the forum was glitching out for me, it still seems its just this thread which is making it hard for me to select text and to write my post...... Couldn't agree more mate, alliances that don't at least fight contribute nothing to the game. If you want to play a peaceful game of building a nation there are plenty of nation sim games on Steam you can play in single player where you don't need to fight or lose pixels. But this is a competitive game and pixel hugging shouldn't be tolerated. Also, Dreadnought war stats especially for a 1,051 day old nation are just pathetic: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=47239 War's make alliances stronger, they sort the chaff from the wheat. tCW is testament to that since KF made us stronger, despite us taking $120 BILLION in damages in that one war. But if an alliance has never fought they'll crumble very quickly. I don't expect they'll last very long if their leader's definition of taking massive damage is being nuked for $1.5 billion in damage. Also I don't think your thinking was off point, it was pretty spot on TBH. DB I suspect would handle being attacked worse than Quichwe and TFP do, which is an astonishing achievement if I might say so myself.

Firstly even if we did have preconditions you don't know what they are so how can you judge the viability of any potential peace talks. Our point is peace talks are when the side that has lost asks for a discussion on what the opposing side wants. If you don't like what we offer you can always walk away, like you did in the 69DW. But the simple fact is you refuse to even acknowledge the need for talks shows you don't want to accept anything short of a white peace, which we've already established since we're confident in our position as a coalition isn't in our interests to accept and is thus a non-starter. So as a result its you whose chosen to have a potential "perma-war", not us.

I'll just be brief, since Keshav's excellent post would outshine anything I would've done. @Hodor A white peace isn't going to happen, no matter how hard you try to argue your way around it. We don't care about the stats, it won't shift our view into conceding into a white peace which as far as I'm concerned makes the war pointless. Whilst I honestly don't want a long war, its not something I'll budge from. I'm perfectly contend to wait until you admit defeat and agree to come to the table. Its simply because you don't want to admit you lost, its your prerogative if you want to choose that fight. But you're letting your pride get in the way of reality.

My Infra was doomed anyway, it was a better use of our coalitions only mega whale (I'm 4 cities bigger than the next largest on our side, Who also happens to be a tCW member) if I dropped score and helped out people with suicide hits in the lower tier and mid tier, winning the war and helping my alliance and coalition allies is my main priority so I'm willing to make whatever sacrifice I must to ensure that happens. Not every hit has gone well for tCW, but knowing tCW is the only alliance on our side with any decent number of whales (Apart from a few guys in AK) with the capability to hit the largest in KERCHTOGG means that we've got a vital role to play, we adjusted our normal military start to run only planes because doing anything other than that would put us even more out of range of allied support and we want to be a useful addition to our allies, which was the whole idea of what I wanted when I originally said I hoped to "restore tCW's military reputation", since the rep I wanted to restore wasn't what war enemies thought of us (I don't care if they think we're trash). Instead the rep I wanted to restore was our reputation towards allies. Since in KF we fell apart and were pretty much a dead weight for Grumpy, TKR and Guardian. Since tCW is still remaining strong 2 months after this war started, our morale is rock solid and our member numbers are unchanged and infact grown slightly its safe to say we've had a massive improvement since KF, but more work is still needed but tCW is back in business.

Oi..... I'm an Apple Crumble thank you very much. Its also so I don't need to pack any food for the road, just break off an arm and have a gnaw.... It makes everyday much handier. (Pardon the pun).

Apart from some groups only seeking an agreement for themselves and not the entirety of KERCHTOGG no one has approached us for peace so it seems your side is willing to fight even in a war that its clear the outcome has been decided judging by the attempts of whales to hide in the upper tier and allow others to take the punishment. Your side is more than welcome to hit up Roq, Thanos myself or another leader and have a chat you'll find we aren't looking to "salt the earth" Sketchy style. There is no reason for us to surrender or offer white peace in a defensive war (Only Chaos can claim it was a pre-empt), we'll continue until your side comes to us and offers us terms. Some in your side might be like us in which they are no stranger to long wars, but many aren't and they'll want out sooner rather than later, if some alliances refuse to see the writing on the wall and know when its time to call it quits then that's their fault not ours.

It was never "honour" (Its Queen's English as well btw ;,p), it was reputation and whilst we have a long way to go, considering we're competing with NPO and BK for top damage dealers in our coalition, it shows we've improved immensely since the disaster of Knightfall.

Sure you don't want to take a seat? You'll be standing an awfully long time. ;,p

@Akuryo @Pasky Darkfire Aku you should realise by now not to take what I say on the RON server (Unless its clearly marked as official) to heart. I love shit talking on that server, especially with you, which you should obviously know. Also the difference between what I said and what Scarf and Sketchy said, is their intent towards who they directed it to. S&S, were clearly directing their talk of 'disbanding us' towards anyone even remotely close to BK/NPO, which happens to include the entire coalition to some degree. I merely spoke of Aku's group and those tied with them, (That doesn't include Chaos or KETOG etc) which is a small portion of your side. Regardless I've got no interest in seeing an alliance disband (After all Orion has a loan with you, why would I want a customer to disband?). But considering this is attempt number 4001 of KERCHTOGG trying to sway the narrative, gotta give you guys brownie points for trying. Looking forward to seeing what new topic attempt number 4002 will be. The war's still very fun for my members and I, so we're continuing for however long we need to secure victory.

Oh shit I kinda forgot I was allied to a bird (A Pigeon in this case)...... Well since you were once Dinosaurs which was once a better version of sneks, I suppose you're alright. ;,p
