Unveiling the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
George Clooney replied to LordRahl2's topic in Alliance Affairs
Ah the laughter to the ignorant. Stay uninformed, it's what you're good at. You seem salty. Losing most all the infra in 6 of your cities to nukes will do that. Here's a thought, if you are getting nuked too much for your taste, how about we end the war? Or do you want to have the luxury of beating down others without consequence? This isn't that kind of game, sunshine. -

So it doesn't occur to you that some alliances might want to hold a lot of nukes for reasons other than just watching the world burn? -

Unveiling the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
George Clooney replied to LordRahl2's topic in Alliance Affairs
So basically a group of players decided on an arbitrary "limit" on nukes because...well they give a reason, but I'm not buying it. That however doesn't matter. Ultimately people will do whatever they think they can get away with. -
Let's make attacks by planes on ships more realistic
George Clooney replied to morts1's topic in Game Discussion
Ships today also carry AD systems integrated with radar, increasing their legality despite the fact that ships today actually fewer AA guns. There is nothing difficult nor necessarily game changing about a few planes getting shot down while attacking ships. I'm not sure why you are objecting. -
Not seeing a problem with the rule change at all. Less whining people.

Let's make attacks by planes on ships more realistic
George Clooney replied to morts1's topic in Game Discussion
Giving ships a minimal chance to knock down some planes would be realistic. Going back to the World War II example, American ships shot down a fair number of Japanese kamikazes before they could carry out their attacks. The same argument could be made that soldiers and tanks should also have a minimal air defense capability (air defense units have been a part of just about every single military organizations since World War I). A national project (Aerospace Defense Command) could also be added to the game improve the odds of inflicting aircraft causalities. The problem we run into if you go beyond that (adding aircraft carriers, ADA units, what amounts to flak ships that escort capital vessels, etc.) is that it might be more realistic, but it can all become an unwieldy mess that paradoxically is less realistic, and certainly less playable. Some of the "Axis and Allies" variants I've seen were particularly bad that way. -
o7 the Nuke God.

First, of course. Second, the terms are bullshit at every level. They are "you'll bring us your cookies every time your mom packs them in your lunch bag and thank us for taking them or we'll beat you up again" lame. If GPA rebranded, Mensa would just come after them again anyway, pointing out (correctly) that it's just a dodge to get out of terms. Third, a bit late to be discussing player retention--though shit like this isn't helpful to what was a growing game (yes, games like this need "farmers" too, many of them are paying customers). Even if GPA had excellent leadership, they would have still gotten smashed, it would have just taken a bit more effort. The outcome of this fight was determined the moment war was declared. Fourth, ditto one. Nah, this was an eye roller. Let's move on.

What a quaint use of an expression that is at least 15 years old. Allow me to retort in the same manner.

Hint: it wasn't the best keep secret on Orbis. The "sneaky" part was the timing. Please try to keep up. You really aren't prepared to match wits with me, son. Go play with your friends and have a nice night.
-
I just see a bunch of people launching a sneak attack on another bunch of people during a time period where many of the people in the target alliance are away from their computers celebrating a holiday. But if GPA was planning to use economics as a weapon, they wouldn't even be the first alliance to do so. Have fun I suppose.

I'm not sure we all agree what lessons from (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) we should have gotten. For some people I think there has been a genuine effort to do things very differently, from others it seems it's more "do what we did there, but do it better". I'd be curious however to hear what you think we should be doing differently.

Declare the existence of Pacific Ocean Fleet
George Clooney replied to karta2627233's topic in Alliance Affairs
Peace mode isn't designed to work that way in (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) either, Gandhi. Do yourself a favor. Join GPA or a similar neutral alliance. Get some more experience. Then when you are ready to create your own neutral/not-so-neutral alliance (and I sense you aren't), make sure you have some sort of protection for it before you declare its existence. Good luck out there and remember that pixels grow back, I promise. -
More alliances should take this advice. Actually more people should take this advice. Good luck to Rose going forward.

I'm sure that Sparta is devastated by your analysis.

We have worked out a peace settlement that includes a NAP. NAC has quite enough war on its plate already, thanks. I wish SD the best in their future development.

It cost them their protectorate status with Rose. It may cost them even more in the end.

Welcome to the grind.

Keeping it simple. Mensa Inc declared war upon UPN. Defensive clauses activated with NAC. Let's do this.

This looks like fun. o/ UPN o/ DEIC o/ Polaris o/ NAC

Congrats to UPN.
