10 years ago, 13 people and I set off to found t$ from MI6. From discussing having a biker themed alliance to the corporate entity it is now. Fighting Guardian in their first ever major war to leading spheres, it should have been a very fun ride. There isn’t an alliance that has had as much influence over Orbis during this time. Congratulations all, especially to the other 13 who are still standing today.

Well fought guys. See you in 3 months!

This is great 👏🏽

I was at 0 infra for a relatively short period (say 5-6 days) and still capable of attacking WELP. As someone who’s currently fighting in a global war and has no chance to win conventionally nukes and missiles are the only weapons at my disposal that can deal reliable damage. 500m net every week may seem like a lot (from the losing coalition) but I am also losing out on my potential growth running this way. Another way to think about this is to count how many “griefers” there are in Orbis. I’m not counting Hatebi or the other meme Arrgh nations in this, but there are probably less than 20 at any given time compared to the 6000+ active nations in the last week. Do we really need to overhaul a whole mechanic to stop less than 0.4% of the game from indiscriminately nuking people? There are other ways of countering them instead of going straight to Sheepy such as blockade cycling effectively.

@Adrienne I can’t believe we didn’t think about merging coalitions with Methrage. What could have been…

007 back at it again. Welcome back both and good luck Shiho!

I believe there’s way too much power behind having the ability to prevent trade with an entire colour bloc. My suggestion would be to alter it so sanctioned nations/alliances are not able to receive any colour bonuses or hold treasures.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been this excited about a new project. Many thanks to our protectors over at Singularity and TFP!

Just a bit of background, I was looking around the game and noticed the donation offer. For those unaware, if your nation is of a certain age and has not donated in the last 180 days, then an offer is available to purchase discounted credits. I saw the offer and thought it was a good idea so went ahead. I selected the 2 and 5 credit option and paid through Apple Pay. Soon after I received an email from PayPal that it could take up to 72 hours to process. Days after I received an email confirming payment has been successful. I went on my nation to see if I received anything in-game and instead of 7 credits, I received 14. Relevant screenshots below - I've only been charged once per donation so I'm not out of pocket. Formatting is also a bit dodgy on my phone.

This wasn’t a conversation people had when KT formed from a handful of ex-TEst members or when GOB split from VE years ago. There’s one thing in common with all the alliances they split from and it’s that they’re no longer around. Now I’m not suggesting tS, Rose, or anyone else will vanish anytime soon but KT and GOB have had years to make and impact to the game. To immediately expect the same from TGH and TSC who have been around 6/7 months combined is pretty unrealistic, especially when TSC haven’t even made an official post on the forums yet. Immediately jumping to “they’ll have no legacy, may as well never be formed” is the wrong mindset to have when seeing these new projects. We should all be embracing new alliances and projects and hope they can make the same level of change as alliances formed years ago.

This is the largest pile of nonsense I’ve seen in a long while. Regular payments were made by the member up until BS was attacked by SIN. Common sense should have been used to realise that no nation would be able to pay close to $900 mil including war resources in those circumstances. Irregardless of the war, would Jupiter have been able to fork out that kind of money in 60 days? Probably not. Was he intending on repaying the debt in a more manageable fashion? Yes. There is no precedent set for an alliance to repay that large of a debt for an ordinary member to move from one AA to another, so to assume BS would do so, after Jupiter has failed to make them, is a bit daft. You’re right on one part, there should have been better communication between yourself and BS/Jupiter about the repayment plan. Have you tried discussing this and setting up a timeframe postwar or have you jumped to immediately asking for the whole lot?

I don’t think I’ve seen a larger list of spineless FA people.

It’s another great birthday present for us. Impressive blitz on the alliance but I thought I’d be feeling the love more.
