Too dumb and/or wrong to reply with further words. Close. Your level of desire to roll them might have never outweighed the hassle to do so. But it was certainly there. Oh hey, 1000 posts.

I recently engaged in battle with UPN? Last time I fought UPN was near Christmas last year. Seems I'm not quite the one out of the loop. Terrifying is a good word used to describe your alliances, Mensa and UPN, just perhaps not in the manner you want it to be. You would have gotten away with it too! If it weren't for those meddling kids! When UPN found out the Syndicate wanted to roll them.

"Best fighters on Orbis" "UPN" Choose one. So DEIC treaties Rose. UPN Treaties Mensa. Mensa Treaties Syndicate. Rose wants to roll Mensa, DEIC is tied to UPN. UPN/TC wants to roll Syndicate, but is now allied to Mensa. And Syndicate want(ed) to fight TC, but is allied to Mensa who is allied to UPN. Is it just me or someone going to betray the !@#$ out of someone else?

The treaty web is simply written on a TEst flag. I also think that allying Sigma effectively divides the alliance by zero, since they're not allowed to have allies.

Best of luck to UPN, and TC in rolling tS.

Just came back the political arena and I've already been given a challenge.

Whomever beats Mensa in the next war should give them a 6 month ban on forum polls as a surrender term.

Recruit me. I would recommend not opening the spoiler at work. Or in public. Or if you're afraid of large objects.

Quick a vote! Mensa must link their members to stuff the ballot box!

Sadly this is part of being in the club. Though I doubt very many people actually hated you. I ridicule people often and have over my time in these games, The number of people I've met that I've actually hated is listed on one hand, and on one finger. These games are all about making friends and enemies, so you made a friend and some enemies. Part of the game as long as you can not take it personally. Highschool can be rough. Best of luck with your studies.

Lets see if VE's PR department handles a nuke rogue better than BoC did!

I don't know, can you?

So I do nothing well but gain popularity? Seems like a good foreign affairs trait. But keep telling yourself I'm the one not living in reality. Ah, so I rely on nations I helped foster growth in through our growth programs that I had a major influence in designing. I mean if it was so easy all of the original alliances would have had so many strong nations, hell, even more because they had far more nations than we did. I helped grow and foster an alliance that has lasted a few years shy of a decade, I truly have no idea how to build things. I didn't do it alone, that's for damn sure, but that was the point. I put people in places they would thrive. S'why I made you MoW during my solo leadership, cus I know you're going at that type of organization. During my time leading Guardian, our strength was one of, if not the most feared strengths in this game at the time. The other people in the running for that were our friends and allies. Things falling apart in my absence highlight the quality I bring to alliance leadership. Things were set up perfectly well for Shellhound when he took over. He just dropped the ball in a big way, and Tenages helped slap it out of his hand. Guardian "falling apart" is largely part to it having lived its lifespan. If Guardian's going to thrive they need someone new to take the reigns because I'm done, and it's definitely possible if the remaining people want to make it a reality. But that's on neither you or me, so I'm getting off topic. You're not a good leader, Kadin. You have good leadership qualities, but lack what makes a truly good leader. You're good assisting a solid leader, but leading alone you do not have longevity. You are a worthlessly beautiful figurehead. I hope they care your bust into the front of your ship so that the waves may break upon your magnificent frame.

Years of telling himself he's the greatest.

Thanks for highlighting the case for me. I knew you'd take the bait. You simply think democracy is crap because you can't win an election. You failed in Guardian, and from what I hear failed in BoC. No one wants you to lead except a select few. You're good as a support guy, for a time. After that time you think you should be more, and don't fall in line, don't follow because you expect to lead. You're a very poor leader to have in the upper echelon of an alliance, middle management? Sure, but like I said only for a time.

I do believe the last democratic election Guardian had was the one where you won.

Usually how an alliance recovers from losing key gov members is a testament to how well they will do after. With losses like Ashland and Kadin, the solution is to add Morgan near the top? I dare say I think your ship is springing leaks LF. You better start doubling your personal efforts lest you want to sink.

Do you have Kastor in your alliance?

Kadin doesn't leave alliances when he lose elections.. No.

I look forward to BoC honoring it's MDAP.

Why not make it so you can loot everything besides credits? Would also make spying more important if you could make it so you could choose what you steal? So you'd spy them before winning to know what stockpiles to hit?

Secret implies a negative connotation, which is part of why you're being given a hostile response by some. By saying it was kept secret means that it was done in a manner to keep it from you. In fact your alliance leader knew about it around the time of its inception and he was not involved with the group, I remember him asking to have me suggest people to include on the list. As I've said before I didn't involve myself at all with who was in the group so I did not comply. There was no real effort made to keep it secret, nor do I think we were ever told to do so. I know I talked about it freely reasonably often. Less on the forums cus it was around the point in the game where I started to withdraw myself. Regardless I'm saying you're saying it's secret is the problem. It's a closed group, not a secret group. That's the main thing. Secret implies way more than what it really is. If that's changed, well, my information is out of date. Most of my involvement with the group were in its earlier stages. Balancing to military unit strengths, damages, damage ranges, and the change to superiority were most of what I worked on. EDIT: Spelling. Words give the means to meaning.

This was talked about back in the day too, theres things to take into account that will be in terms of balancing and what not size of alliance and what not.. What it costs etc.. But that's a conversation for another day. I want to keep this thread limited to suggestions to keep things on target. This is a big project and if we talk about all aspects at once nothing gets done. Breaking into parts right now. This part is about getting a massive list of ideas. After we get the ideas and a frame of the system, then we start working the list down and trimming.
