These nations decided to all log-in at the exact same time. Some of them were in deep VM mode. Set A - https://politicsandwar.com/nation/unique/id=144104 Nation A - https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=133056 Nation B - https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=144104 Nation C - https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=241839

Ships vs Ships seems to be too weak. At C9 at max Ships I can destroy about 12-14 ships in a naval blockade. My planes however can airstrike and wipe out 18-24 ships. The ships take up 240 gas and 360 munitions. The planes take 165 gas and munitions. Ships are stupid expensive to fight against other ships.

Addressing this is a huge step as one of the issues looking at this is "Who makes the first move?" Whether people cry "Secret Treaties" or "Hegemony" it really doesn't matter as each side has it's own strings to pull in order to create the soul crushing game presence to wipe out the opposition. The other issue is old CBs (that are 2 years+ old) are being brought up like it's brand new information. In my opinion wars should be fought on the basis of either: 1.) Game Politics - Bloc A is spying Bloc B or Bloc A is poaching Bloc B etc. 2.) Game Security - Bad raids lead to counters lead to more counters lead to war 3.) Or (in the event of some paperless boyos like KT/Arrgh) Stale Politics. Rose jumping on the bandwagon for shits and giggle to whack at Hollywood isn't fair. But I've no doubt in 6 months Rose will hit Blackwater with Hollywood. Until somebody makes the first step of saying "No, we won't dogpile" or creates more diversity amongst the spheres like mini-blocs (Looking at you Nexus 👍) this will always be the meta for Global Wars.

It's almost like I'm trying to show them that they're being dumb by forcing them to get community backlash. Have to say I haven't seen many repeats from these learning sessions.

The war has finally begun! Time travelers declared again.......

Me getting pings at 4am because a singular person declared war on a 20 member prot...

When this kid realizes I requested their removal not Greene he's gonna have to make another post 😭

This is the saddest thing I've seen this week and I just had to accept terms of my parent's divorce. Please post this in the 'Issues with Greene' category instead of the Alliance Affairs category. Trying to commit FA on the public level isn't going to help any situation resolve.

Really disappointed. After they requested help and we fought for them they didn't even last 24 hours. Here's hopping they learn from this experience as to not repeat it with future allies.

Congratulations on posting 2 sentences out of an entire conversation to give something out of context. I guess you're no longer new to the game.

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.

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.

**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): 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: 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...... 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
