Have I ever told you the tragedy of Darth Roquentin the wise?
I thought not, it's not a story the Syndisphere would tell you. It's a Paracovenant legend. Darth Roquentin was a Dark Lord of the New Pacific Order, so powerful and wise he could use his mastery of negotiation to influence the alliances and create coalitions... He had such a knowledge of Easy Mode he could keep the ones he cared about out of range.
He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught Kastor, his apprentice, everything he knew, then the apprentice stole his bank in his sleep. Ironic, he could save others from defeat, but not himself.

Who was it other than Kastor who slanders Pantheon again?
There are posts from nations in BK, KT, UPN, and VE just in the Pantheon DoW

So I recently went back and read through all of the war threads mostly to laugh at people posting super cocky things to Syndisphere because they were so sure they would win. While doing this it was almost ruined by the insane amount of shit talked on both Rose and Pantheon. Durmij is a very vocal roser so it wasn't so bad because he was there to counter most of the big insults, but Pantheon was just ruthlessly slandered in some posts. It made me so happy looking back and seeing Pantheon doing so well because it was a giant "!@#$ you" to the people who were talking shit.
you guys important
you strong
you smart
you cute
EDIT: Shout-out to Kastor for giving me so many laughs while reading his posts when this war first broke out.

Wow, I just realized that you declared on the ally of your only ally and it's so in line with your garbage FA that no one noticed.
Just VE things
That was the whole theme of VE over the last month.
Guys, don't make any accusations without hadesflames here to defend their morality first, and be careful HBE might DoW you to protect VEs honor.

To add my 2 cents. Rose made a huge tactical mistake in going in without consulting allies and getting everyone ready to counter that same night. I knew Pub was thinking about going in, but I didn't really think he'd just pull the trigger on that date since everyone knew about it and I found out Rose/Fark went in from the forums, not exactly how I was expecting to find out. If he'd waited and gotten everyone ready first, and there was no reason not to wait a few more days, I think there would've been a different outcome.
Syndisphere has always been really good about getting in fast counters (activity > numbers) as it does make or break a war. This war for example everyone went in quite fast. Something that, each war, tightens up because it's clearly the better formula vs. slow counters.
This, I seriously underestimated how quickly they would be on to respond to attacks. Up until that point the only wars I had led were against UPN and DEIC at the peak of their Purple Powers Coalition, and Marionette war - which yeah they are big and all but they are not even close to as organized and responsive as tS is. I was just dumb and arrogant.

Damn. Did not realize how many numbers were on the other side right before this war kicked off.

BK on Rose is like watching the inspiring, uplifting story of an aging boxer past his prime beating the shit out of a crippled kid who never should have been allowed in the ring in the first place
After reading this thread I've only become more confused on whether or not Rose is the crippled kid.

If you have any suggestions for other awards please post it with your nominations. Actual voting won't go up until war is officially concluded but before we get too far from actual start of war I want to start gathering some nominations.

Pretty sure people on your side have said it's perfectly fair to preempt if someone is sure to go in. Are you insinuating you wouldn't help Mensa based off the Zodiac hitthen? Since you said us and BK did it, I assumed you referred to the wider conflict and not the opening of that front.
Zodiacs cb for hitting mensa = to help BK from having to fight Mensa counters when they hit Rose
BKs cb for hitting Rose = to help Zodiac from having to fight Rose counters when they hit Mensa

Durmij has been pretty vocally anti-NPO for quite some time. I'm not talking about just this war. He gave his rationale in this very topic that he saw us as screwing Rose and having zero empathy for their Syndisphere relations despite his own lack of empathy and Keegoz cleared it up. There was just too much irony about him saying we'll never have to sacrifice for anyone else when many of us did so for being allied to Rose in the past. His war wrap-up thing was pretty adamantly anti-NPO adding in all sorts of conspiracy theories(NPO out to dominate/swap out BK and VE). You're tied to Mensa who have always been antagonistic towards us and their open desire tor roll us before Silent wasn't a "vague suspicion"(per durmij) on our part. Alkaline(Pub)'s recent posts in the other threads have been pretty openly along the same lines as Durmij's. That's your gov.
I'm not playing the victim card; the whole "no CB" moralizing despite the existence of one and being part of a sphere that has attacked isolated alliances with no CBs or non-isolated ones for signing treaties is rich and fits that way more. The only reason Rose was attacked was because we couldn't hit some of the other alliances initially and your entrenchment into the sphere. If you want another CB, your buddy Buorhann''s attempted blackmail to get logs of me would be a doozy too. But again, we didn't push this war, and if we didn't have the indication your side would hit first, it wouldn't have happened.
lol they wouldn't let me be anything more than a glorified diplomat

TIL goading the admin into giving you another strike results in another strike.
In similarly surprising news, I also learned that water is wet.
What a big day for u
-
Ey do me a solid, in your first post you said it would be partially a rose splinter. Take them now because I don't want anyone in rose who thinks its a good idea to leave for this aa.
-
I said that in the context of us being hit before anything happened. If we were going to be constantly goaded by your friends then we were going to be dragging anything out.
Again, I've explained this to you. Essentially you would want us to go for updecs we have no chance of winning which would essentially clog up the slots of the nations we'd be hitting and allow them to run rampant. I mean, it happened anyway on some we weren't able to seal the deal on. but it would have been far worse and imperiled the ones we made work. We're not intentionally limiting in the slightest or else we wouldn't have been as high up as we we were. I'm not really unsurprised that we're losing because it fits the pattern. Fighting Syndiphere is always an uphill battle, but we were still trying to achieve some objectives.
It's really unfortunate you feel this way Pub. I'm glad others are able to see we're not the cartoon villains you make us out to be.
It's not like NPO has the best reputation
-
One is in reaction to the other and I don't think we tried to rally any of them. Honestly we were expecting to be fighting OO after the NAP expired until it started getting out that a change was desired by some in it.
>Most upper tier alliances flock to Syndisphere due to seeing it as a better deal
>No alternatives
The lesson from the first war was we had no effective counter to BK on our side and BK was the would-be alliance hitting us in both the tS-Alpha war and then when they actually did it. If we were likely going to be fighting BK even if we grew a bit more, it made sense to adapt to alliances like that. What I didn't want was the usual "beat up the uppers and mids in first round, low tier comes in and cleans up and locks it down for 3 rounds" to happen again.
You just said that you were going to drag out the war for any low tier alliance that was enlisted. That wasn't really a secret before the war happened (that you would overwhelm any low tier alliance). Maybe rally isn't the correct word but you are aware of the fact that you are the reason for your sphere being so much more stacked with lower tiers. Whether you admit it or not.
I don't think you can just blame your lack of performance this war on BK not being there either, because I can probably find at least 20 nations in your alliance that still haven't done shit in this war. You talk about how it was "easy mode" for the other side, and you seem unsurprised that you are losing the war. Why hold back on your blitz if you felt this way? If you're going to lose at least do it in style.
Personally, I think you are intentionally trying to keep the damage to your alliance minimal which is why you had a half assed blitz. So that post war you will be in a much stronger position than your allies - and you will be able to try and take charge of the direction your sphere goes while they are licking much deeper wounds than you.

I don't think you really get it. The point wasn't to avoid getting rolled it was to avoid making it fun for you or interesting at all and give us the ability to drag out any war for any low tier alliance you enlisted . If you were insistent on having us as an enemy we were going to deny you any pleasure in it. Let's just face it; you were upset we weren't there for you to roll a few months ago. Your track record is extensive in this regard.
I've already pointed out why it wouldn't have been the game changer you describe. Keep pretending otherwise.
I just want to note that both times we were dealing with being severely isolated after losing a war. In one case, we were dropped after losing a defensive war and were left to our own devices with the exception of a few allies, so we weren't going to splurge when your leadership was openly broadcasting its intentions to hit us especially after we were dropped in the Paragone split. In the other case, we lost and barely had any treaties and certainly didn't have any with anyone that would be in a position to take Mensa/tS on, so we were just going to be taking our hits and fighting it out alone until things changed recent, which is why it made sense in that context.
So you are intentionally trying to rally all the lower tier alliances on your side? That would just push even more high tier alliances to your opposition wouldn't it?
I mean it's just par for the course. I hope it changes eventually, but there isn't really a penalty for pulling out if you're on the losing side, so people are inclined to do it. If an entire coalition is willing to dig in at some point, they'll be able to accomplish a lot.
There is no alternative if the other side has an upper tier advantage since alliances with upper tiers tend to tie each other. There could have been more score compression which would have helped avoid the 17-20 city nations sell downs on 12-15 nations with maxed mil, but that's about it.
Can't really use that as an excuse when you follow by explaining how you intentionally choke your enemies of lower tier allies.

I would avoid saying you peaced a war to avoid suffering losses
typically not a great thing to promote yourself as alllies. -
Rose has a new player at 5 cities who just got declared on by a guy with 15 cities. Balance in all things

I don't understand how no one is pointing out that NPO only has 75 active offensive wars with 104 members (while being on the aggresive side) - then faults the other side for having it on "easy mode".
