To be fair, I did misread the post. And the numbers kept changing because more people kept deleting lol.

Don't know. Ask CKD for more details on the matter. And well, as for the rest, if you guys were so sure that your updeclares were going to win you the war, then why did you settle for a WP instead? We all can play this little game. The truth is that, regardless of the rhetoric utilized on these forums, neither side was interested in dragging it out for another month or two. Each had their own reasons for that, but obviously the motivations for peacing out outweighed whatever (perceived or real) advantages each side had that could motivate them to fight further.

Posturing over misleading stats (refer to War Stats 2.0) is worse imo, but to each their own. I'm seeing some IQ people taking the piss back, which I'm actually glad they're, tbh. Shit talking (which is what this thread is about, as I already gave my honest opinion on IQ in the peace thread proper) is always more entertaining for both parties when they just take it as that.

It's not so much "We had no choice lest someone else came in", but rather "If you wanted to have a say in the outcome you should have come in".

Gotta give and receive my dude. Easter did happen during the war .

As I understand it, no. ODN is basically on their own.

To the non-participant detractors: While I'm not a fan of the 6 month nap, you shoulda gone boots on the ground to have it changed. Criticizing is easy when you don't have to foot the bill or go in. To non-IQ coalition: Great performance, given that we were by large, just an ad-hoc group of AA's, some of which hadn't fought in a global before. T'was a pleasure to work with all of you. To IQ coalition: Serious talk (I already shit talk/ed plenty). If you guys were a bit more aggressive and more willing to spend resources to get in range for updeclares, you would have been able to do soo much more damage, if not win this global. You have a lot of potential left untapped. It was a good refreshment from the 9 months of peace or so that preceded the war. I wish a fast rebuild to all the participants of this war.

They're the names of the cities (or prefectures, if a city isn't available) each school is located in in GuP, hence the matching flags (Which are the logo of the school themselves, with a flag that is either made to match just for style, or to match with the nationalities the schools represent {the reason why you see the french/finnish/bulgarian etc flags on the background for some of them}).

EMC was already taken, so what do you propose?

You know, while Inquisition Coalition (from now on, who shall be referred to as IQ (and Co.) to simplify) does tend to be deluded in many cases, we, the non-IQ side, have to recognize that sometimes we do go in a bit hard on them. Particularly in the most recent thread, where Leo's peace announcement thread got negbombed (unfairly, I must add). As such, I figured that we should instead, be a little bit more appreciative of what they've done for us. For such purpose, I'll be the first one to do so, by saying what has IQ done for me. First and foremost, I have city 18 thanks to IQ's generous donations. Yep, that's right. City 18 is now a thing for me thanks to IQ's (and Co.'s) contributions. For the purpose of rememberance until the end of times, City 18 shall retain it's current name indefinitely. Secondly, they helped me right my K/D counts. Coming off the last global, they looked like this. This is how they look now. I have to thank IQ for giving me an opportunity to right the stats that had been tarnished as a result of the last global. Thirdly, and I just have to mention it. A new city, rebuild funds and prettier stats are all nice and whatnot. But there are stuff that resources can't buy (nor can Mastercard). This is one of them. I do have to say that being accused of scripting, just because push notifications give all defenders (that are active) a chance to attack before the attacker himself does so, is one of the highest honors I've ever had in this game. I am truly grateful to IQ that they decided that I was fit and worthy of receiving such recognition of being so gud at this otherwise forgettable game, that it looked like I had an unfair advantage over them. And well, that's it for me really. Recitifed stats, a new city and a honorific title. I'd like all the other people who fought in the non-IQ coalition to step forth, and give you your appreciation for IQ (and Co.), and do mention which contributions did IQ (and Co.) make to your nation, that you want to show your gratitude for.

The scrolling text was meh, but the engagement ring part made up for it.

Not a bug since, at most, it's human error, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Whatever helps you sleep at night bud.
