    [DoW] The Rock, The Hard Place and the Smell

    If I remember correctly the treaty stated Black Skies had to stay on 3/05/1 correct? That would include all members. So given that any of your members went above that is a direct violation of the surrender? Innit? One thing to learn is that it's very hard to negotiate with macros when you have zero leverage to bring to the table. This was inevitable and you know it. Running from it is very dishonorable.  

    Everyone is acting like we were trying to be sneaky about it. Our moves were sent straight to RON and everyone could see exactly what we were doing. Working within Sanctuary and assisting them where we can was probably going to happen regardless. It's just since Nexus/Bollywood hit us it's "ghosting" rather than reinforcements.

    You forgot the part where you ghost into sanctuary to hide from Rosewater. 

    Our last "Hail Mary". Members on the MMR 3/0/5/1 that physically can't fight will remain in Black Skies. However since Nexus just hit anyone that was within range regardless of MMR then it's clear that this desperate move didn't work.

    [DoW] The Rock, The Hard Place and the Smell

    in Alliance Affairs

    **Warning - This post is about Black Skies. Do not read this if you don't care.**

     

    Black Skies is stuck between a rock and a hard place. And the entire thing smells.

    After being pulled into the Hollywood/Bollywood war (of which we weren't even a part of Hollywood after TLE told us to leave) we fought for a good 3/4 rounds and then found peace. Many of you might not even know about that as instead of getting a post about it we were placed as a reply in United Ummah's thread. Focusing on our rebuild we were then informed that RIE/DR had blitzed both 770 and Sanctuary.

     

    This led us to a problem. While we were not hit in the strike we knew, at some point we'd have to get involved to support our allies. We ramped up our MMR to be able to recruit at a faster pace. After all Carthago already beat the shit out of us by down declaring (C28s hitting a C20 hurts) and so most of our folks were zeroed across the board. Now after beginning to try and even reach where we were at peacetime (3/0/5/1 however some stayed at 5/2/5/2 due to a Rose applicant that hit two of us) we got slammed by OWR and Carthago.  Please note this was when the alliance had just passed 50% aircraft (Credit to Sval for providing the image):

     image0.thumb.png.7d64dc09dc53cfdf175ab0abcba77459.png

     

    We are not a threat to anyone. Period. Most alliances would be very happy in just smacking us because they can. However at a point in time where our Military wasn't even at our peacetime MMR we got smacked again. After discussions with OWR Sval responded:

    6d026c9e7e371e5798db6cc8d1f06754.png.a891859d4dec62442e4e689ec652e240.png

    However wars then were declared on people that were following the MMR like iuma who was following the 3/0/5/1 Peacetime MMR (he's since switched to 5/0/5/1 after being hit). Boom our head of FA went to Daveth about the situation. Surely Nexus/Bollywood would allow ourselves to defend an ally or at the very least not attack people following the MMR......

    annoying1.thumb.png.5ad281b644728d53e07ddcd9e07dfb9d.png

     

    So this is where we stand. Nexus won't back down unless we negotiate new terms to assist our allies. Nexus also isn't willing to negotiate terms to help our allies. So (and this is going to be the strangest and worst DoW I've ever seen).......

     

    Tl;DR - Black Skies declares war to help their allies, Sanctuary and Lazarus 770, against RIE and Dawn Rising.
    Black Skies will not be countering, declaring new wars or committing spy-ops for damage against NEXUS/Bollywood membership as they continue to down declare on us and wipe us to 0 again. Sanctuary and Lazarus 770 will not be countering or assisting Black Skies members being hit by NEXUS/Bollywood members.

     

     

     

    Alright Minesome...This is probably AlanFall 2.0

    There Is No IC/OOC Split, Change My Mind

    TL;DR Your Orbis nation and alliance reflect your OOC politics.  It is folly to say otherwise - this split between OOC and IC politics is completely artificial and useless.

    My nation theme is Roman/Pirate. I'm neither a pirate nor a 1700 year old Italian man.

    For a game advertised as roleplaying people can be what they want to be (within appropriate limits) without having it remotely reflect them as a person. Now by your own reasoning let's take a look at your nation.

    This image you have displayed is from the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) The KPD quote "KPD viewed the !@#$ Party ambiguously. On one hand, the KPD considered the !@#$ Party to be one of the fascist parties. On the other hand, the KPD sought to appeal to the Strasserite-wing of the !@#$ movement by using nationalist slogans. The KPD sometimes cooperated with the Nazis..."

    By your logic this single symbol has placed you into the same political party as one that supported and cooperated with Nazis. Only when the Nazis took power did your party begin to dislike them (I guess that's what you get for working and supporting Nazis).

    Am I to assume that because your party supported Nazis and Domestic Terrorism in Germany (See KPD's extensive list of burning buildings, attacking police and mob attacks) that you do as well?

    Goodness I've never had a report literally claim itself straight on the forum. @Alex please hammer.

    [RoH] Elephants are Excellent Swimmers

    in Alliance Affairs

    Posted

    "Elephants are excellent swimmers.
    They can cross rivers and fords with ease and some Indian Elephants have been spotted nearly 15km (3 miles) away from shore."
    - David Attenborough "That Earth Documentary You Watched That One Time When High"

     

    As we were waiving our last goodbyes to United Ummah and The Lost Empire, the Captains did a final inventory check. Alan who was away in Greece for the Olympics, would not be with them as they departed. Fifty ships and some twenty-two smaller vessels were just about ready to depart for the 8th sea when all of a sudden an alarm was rung. The signal flags were raised......

    "Elephants are attacking the boats."

    This was obviously a mistake or a joke. As Captain Korra peered over the signal flag code book they were bewildered. "Elements"? "Emirates"? No idea. Captain Titan peered over the side of the H.M.S. Trusil. Sure enough, elephants, their tusks smashing and breaking holes in the hulls of the ships were in the water. Looking towards shore the young Captain Atomic saw the elephants on shore as well, knocking over shops, huts and stalls including the Atlantis Antiquities booth.

     

    With The Lost Empire giving notice to the fleet that they had to set sail the Captains were stuck. They could not sail off with elephants trapped in their hulls and The Lost Empire Port Authority wanted them gone to bring in some Order. So the ships sailed, some limping, some swaying, some under full speed. But the elephants would come with them, latching on by their tusks. As the Commander rejoined the fleet it was settled. Before they could officially get to the 8th sea... these ships and elephants would either have to sink.....or swim....

     

    TL;DR/NC - Black Skies recognizes hostilities with Carthago.

    The Orbis Olympics - A Time for Unity

    in General Discussion

    From the International Orbis Olympic Committee
    Black Skies 2021 - August 13th to August 23rd

     

    The past year has been rough for a lot of people. Loss of loved ones, the stress of quarantine and the all depressing feeling that Alex will never release Politics and War 2. However as a way for the entire community to come together an idea was presented to us to create an Olympics of our own. A way for people to truly see who the best alliance is via games.

     

    This year Black Skies will be hosting the Olympics in the official server. The games are 100% free to join and compete in (as long as you get permission to represent your alliance). Over $200m in prizes will be given out to the winners of Gold, Silver and Bronze as well as a custom Award Case and medals to be displayed on nation and alliance pages. We really hope that in the spirit of the game you join us for at least 1 "sport". This years games are:

    Scribbl.io
    Chess
    Checkers
    Minecraft Build Battles Solo
    Minecraft Build Battles Teams of 2-4
    Poker
    Codenames 3x3

    Gold - $10m and an Orbis 2021 Olympic Medal for your nation page
    Silver - $5m and an Orbis 2021 Olympic Medal for your nation page
    Bronze - $1m and an Orbis 2021 Olympic Medal for your nation page

     

    https://discord.gg/9MBW3EcQQq

    TL;DR Come and win a game to have your alliance anthem played while 15 people are forced to listen to it in a discord call
