I would like to thank Dark Brotherhood for their support of Pantheon through the last few weeks, and I look forward to continuing to work with Dark Brotherhood in the future

The legitimacy of the government is not in question, all proper constitutional processes were followed, it is a complete non-issue. On your second point, are you claiming that deleting all of an alliance's Discord channels, and stealing the bank of the alliance isn't an effort to destabilize the alliance? If people want to choose a different path for their future, they are free to do so, but we are talking about two completely different things here

When you decided to hit our ally you did so with full knowledge that doing so would lead to us entering the war on their side. It isn't our fault that you decided to hit them anyway

In theory that would be the result, but it has been 9 months, and until recently that time was peaceful, the markets should have equilibrated, but they haven't. Inflation continued for that entire duration Shorter wars are the logical result of having smaller warchests. The issue is that instead of making wars shorter, decreasing the rate of warchest growth just lengthened the duration between wars. This also causes an issue for new nations as meeting warchest requirements often crowds out growth. While the changes effect people to varying degrees, it can be said that as a general rule that these changes are a net negative. It handicaps large players to an extent, but the ones who are really effected are those who are too large to be self reliant in terms of resources, but aren't large enough to bring in large amounts in commerce. Adding further demand for resources will just exasperate the inflation problem. Furthermore, while there are merits to the proposals that you offered, they are, at the end of the day just patches, and not long term fixes.

There is an aspect of electomagnets that Dio seemed to have forgotten here, they can be turned off

One would expect something resembling a normal distribution, with the peak shifted left such that the peak of the curve lies somewhere between 10-15 cities as that is where most alliance grant programs start to end, and where cities start getting relatively expensive. The fact the peak is at one city suggests to me that either turnover is immense, alliances are incapable of pushing their nations much further than city 5, or the definition of "active" that is being used here is very loose indeed

Given that you build your second city as part of the tutorial, and since I highly doubt that we are seeing an influx of just short of 700 players per day. I would be willing to say that we can safely discount the majority of those sitting at one (and maybe 2 cities)

I would make that comment, but there hasn't been any deflation after the so-called "great deflation", all there has been since was inflation

It's no secret over the past year Acadia and Lordran has encountered some diplomatic challenges. In the spirit of the new year we both would like to move on and reclaim the great friendship we once had. Lordran and Acadia hereby agree to the following terms: Article 1: No arguing in public Both alliances shall henceforth be joined in mutual respect for each other, and will engage in public discourse only in such a way that reflects this respect. Article 2: We got you fam Should an attack on either signatory occur, the other is encouraged to assist them in any way possible Article 3: Family sticks together Should either signatory decide to use military action against another power, the other signatory may choose to assist. Article 4: Bonding time 60 days from the signing this agreement, Article 2 will become mandatory. . Article 5: Whispering isn't nice Both alliances agree to share any intelligence that directly affects the security of the other. Article 6: Time to move out In the case that either alliance wishes to terminate this agreement, they must provide the other with a minimum of 72 hours advance notice. Signatories: Lordran: Lord of Cinder: Kynlo Gravelord of the Exterior: Syrano Gravelord of the Interior: Gorge Acadia: Lord Proprietor: TheNG Patroon: George Clooney Chief Agent: RightHonorable

If you want to dump logs to try to win public support, please give the rest of us some context so we can understand what led to these conversations (or snippets thereof)

You have it backwards, the global political situation decides bilateral and multilateral agreements, not the other way around.

The point that I am trying to make is who cares, they have already made the decision to go with IQ, so what is wrong with making that arrangement formal

The tie to IQ as a whole was already there, they freely made the choice to reinforce their ties with IQ by signing this treaty with one of its members, in this case NPO. While I don't know exactly what their reasoning was, I can safely assume that they made this call because they thought it would be best for them, not what is best for those on the OWF

I look forward to working with our new allies in Solidarity of Dragons, a rising star here on Orbis

Congratulations to Polaris and OWR!

I would like to extend my congratulations on behalf of Acadia to GoG and the Inquisition bloc as a whole. I look forward to working forward to both GoG and Inquisition as a whole

That was fast indeed

This won't end badly, nope, no way. I eagerly look forward to the forthcoming entertainment

Best of luck

Congratulations, and best of luck

The simple truth of the matter is that consolidation is not ipso facto negative, it is an aspect of this game that all sides take part in. I think that we would all be better off if everyone could just admit that simple fact

I look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with GoG. In the past war they have proven themselves to be reliable allies.

I was impressed by Zodiac's resolve in the past war, and I am glad that we got this done.

While this turn of events is unfortunate, we harbor no ill will toward Lordaeron and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors
