    Unveiling the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

    Thanks for the laugh, haha.  Good one.

     

    Ah the laughter to the ignorant.  Stay uninformed, it's what you're good at.

     

    Sure, they do it because it's the only tool in a loser's arsenal when they're getting curbstomped. :P

     

    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.

    The Sheepy change is forcing the players to either be held hostage by nuke users, or contain nuke users to a limited arsenal.

     

    There's no neutral ground here as a nuke hit impacts all the players of a continent.

     

    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?  

    Let's make attacks by planes on ships more realistic

    in Game Discussion

    As the man said, the game year is not 1944. So knocking down even some planes in a naval attack is not realistic if the opponents air capability is gone. Maybe some crash on take off/landing?

     

    The argument is much stronger for land units with ADA using the realism argument.

     

    Again, this is a game. It is not the real world.

     

    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.

    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.

    Brown Pants Agency Surrender Treaty

    in Alliance Affairs

    Oooh my turn to post and feel important.

     

    First, our surrender was better.

     

    Second, the terms aren't harsh they're just... Long. Also GPA could just rebrand and be free of the terms. All terms are bound to the alliance GPA. What made GPA GPA has mostly left.

     

    Third, to the guy complaint that Mensa ruined a part of the game and was silly enough to spend 100-150 bucks. The problem is GPA lacks true leadership. To be neutral and safe you need some savvy, active, charismatic leadership. If you guys were run by liked members of the community, or at least respected political figures you would be a much more secure alliance. Also they did little to prep you for a fight other than "have lots of resources and units". A big dick is great and all, but if you're Rubbish in the sack it doesn't matter.

     

    Fourth, our surrender was better.

     

    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.

    Says one of the few butthurt who had no idea Mensa was talking about rolling GPA for months openly

     

    Hint: it wasn't the best keep secret on Orbis.  The "sneaky" part was the timing.  Please try to keep up.

     

    "Sneak Attack"  I like this.

     

    Mensa leadership: "We are going to roll GPA"

    Mensa Members: "We are going to roll GPA"

    Mensa: Remains militarized

    ...

    Rolls GPA in a "sneak attack"

    Are you slow or something?  I am being mostly serious in this question.

     

    You really aren't prepared to match wits with me, son.  Go play with your friends and have a nice night.

    Did you even read what he said? He didn't say you'll stop being neutral, but that you'll control the economy of the game given enough time.

     

    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.

    War Ending

    There should be anti-(That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) rhetoric with how muh crossover there has been lately. Idk why everyone is hell bent on making PnW crash and burn just like (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) did. We all know (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) is dead and we all know why it died. So why the hell haven't we learned our lesson yet?

     

    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.

    Sheepy :sheepy:  gib "peace mode" button plz  :(

     

    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.

    I have given the order to all my men to peace out with yours and i'm hoping you can tell them to accept it. War with you people was a bad mistake on my part due to misinformation about who attacked who.

     

    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.
