    Look, Listen, and Learn: A TKR Joint

    1.       We hold a certain responsibility to lead by example: Obviously you all feel that way as well. Pick a better target, they said. Make it worthwhile, they said. How many people on the OWF decried our target within the first few hours? Pages of dissent racked up in less time it takes for Durmij to cream jeans with his shower pics. :P

     

    3.       We’re doing this both for our alliance and the community at large: This is pretty self-explanatory and related to point #1. The narrative, on our end, has always been that we are taking steps to make this game better for everyone. And as a reminder, that requires, in some way shape or form, to talk to people from every corner of Orbis. Scandalous!

     

    So what you're saying is, Arrgh are what's wrong with the current climate in Orbis? Please. You're just as bad as the other wacko's on here.
    Ganging up on a paperless alliance that has no impact on the political landscape of the Top 15 is nothing short of cowardly and in TKR's case, hypocritical. You say you hold a certain responsibility to lead by example yet through this have shown you're nothing more than a shadow of what TKR once was. You can all spout your bulls* claims about false narratives, smokescreens yada yada. But at the end of the day the only thing separating TKR and the rest of the Top 15 is your names & flags.

    And don't give us the 'We're doing this for you' speech. It's clearly for TKR's benefit and no-one else's. Making the game better for everyone doesn't include dog-piling a paperless alliance that isn't stagnating the game, it doesn't include working with what were your enemies a day ago, it doesn't include spreading false bulls* whenever you fu*k up. There's probably a paragraph i could write about why you were not voted most honourable this year but that's probably covered.

    tl;dr? 
    Congrats Lordship

    This post is not approved nor Sanctioned by Lordaeron. I’ve been trying to be good and then people do this but he made some good points in here 

    He's your second in command, by default its sanctioned by the alliance since he has the power to conduct public announcements.

    Guys Lordaeron is doing fine without me. Stop attributing me with Lordaeron’s greatness. Lordaeron was never about one person, and even during it’s worst times they’ve always outlasted. Gorge is going to be an interesting leader with a lot of interesting decisions going forward. I look forward to seeing Lordaeron continue to succeed under him.

    Where's Abbas and RedArmy when CKD needs help against this barbaric action of Lordaeron?

    Hiding from IQ, they gotta save that precious hedge fund they got going on for a rainy day. Cobra Kai Dojo is just a spec of dirt on their window by their standards.

    Control of the Holy Land

    in Alliance Affairs

    Assassin Order hereby renounces control of the Holy Land to the Knights Templars. This is a sad day for the Assassins, to lose the Land we hold most dearly to our hearts hurts to the core. We can only hope to learn from our mistakes and one day reclaim what is rightfully the peoples. As our late, great Mentor once said - Anyone can change for the better.

    To the Templars out there - People can forgive you for even the worst things.

    To our fellow Assassins - The death of others is unavoidable. It's how we deal with it that counts.

    We work in the dark, to serve the light.
    We are Assassins.

     

    tl;dr AO & KT have agreed white peace and all current wars will be peace'd out.

    Bad Company and Assassin Order have agreed to white peace once the current wars have ended. I leave you with a poem from one of our loyal assassins.

    kastor is dumb, kastor is bad
    kastor made me cry to my dad
    kastor is funny, kastor is sad
    kastor went bye bye cuz he was mad
    kastor was rolled, but then found the way
    kastor found out that he was truly gay
    kastor accepted his place in the world
    he liked boys, sorry to the girls
    his sexting ended one fateful night
    when he got blinded by the light
    kastor does what kastor wants
    cuz kastor is hero, everyones trump
    he's a closet homosexual with a burning desire
    to roll the templars by using fire
    kastor retired at the age of 50
    so he could spend his time being shwifty
    kastor looked up to the skies at 85
    to see his foes look back down with their glaring eyes
    for he was the victor, the true champion
    this is just one book in a trilogy that has just begun

     

    We work in the dark, to serve the light.
    We are Assassins.

    !@#$ outta here with STW

     

    o/ TKR, good to see.

    Peace of mind is not something we WANT everyone to have for no downsides, with great ease.  That's just boring.  The game NEEDS to have problems to solve and risks to take or there's no point doing anything.  As I pointed out somewhere in my wall of text above, risk is an inextricable part of economics.  I don't think the game would be made better AT ALL by removing that wrinkle. 

    I'd seriously like the ability to set up non-alliance entities though.  That'd be rad.

    I get your point about risk regarding banks, but why on earth would someone want to risk their money they want to save for a set date with a player-owned bank rather than this proposed bank? I'm thinking from a point of view of me putting my life savings into this bank to save for when I'm ready to bulk purchase cities, I could just go away from the game and not worry about anything until the set date I chose to withdraw the money at. With player-run banks I'd be constantly worried about a global war breaking out and your bank's money being taken. It's a pessimistic point of view I know, but a valid one for a vast amount of players.

    Also this could set about more regular global wars, with the peace of mind that you have enough cash/resources stashed away in the proposed bank, there's absolutely nothing stopping people from making this game interesting again. With player run banks, the owners are rarely in favour of war because of their mindset towards the game which is in itself a problem that needs to be ironed out.

    Entities within alliances would be a great addition and one which I hope holds some weight with Alex when he reads through :P

    The PNW Bank should also allow for people to take out loans as well.

    Nations that will most likely use this will be smaller nations that find it difficult to grow on their own.

    How would the nation pay this loan?

    A set percentage would be discounted from the nations income in a daily basis similar to an alliance tax.

    An alternative to this if a nation had to repay to the bank manually could be Alex's new Bounty system that's in place on the test server, automatic bounties placed on people who have refused to pay their loans. Think of the pirates, they'd have a field day with that!

    Why do this when there are already banks?  Why penalize the players, like Seb, Paul Warburg, and myself, who took it upon ourselves to create a solution to financing problems?  Just.. why?  I don't see the need that this would fill that isn't already being addressed.  

    If any of you have finance concerns of ANY sort, I encourage you to seek out your friendly neighborhood banker.  I can assure you we can figure out a way to do almost anything... for a price, of course.  We're not charities.  If you don't trust private banks, then... well...

     

    I want to highlight what you're main point is because I think its important regarding already established-player owned banks.

    With player run banks, there is absolutely no guarantee of safety regarding a customers money/resources regardless of reputation. You are essentially putting your trust in someone who could quite easily refuse/ignore your requests to withdraw their own money and keep it for themselves, I'm not saying that it will happen just that its a possibility. Taking out the middle-man and having a centralised bank for the majority of the game would offer peace of mind when their hard earned money is stashed away ready for that big infra jump or bulk city purchases. There's already a bunch of 'alliances' that have been created just to keep others' money stored away, Yarr, Planet Reach & Stratton Oakmont to name but a few. This idea could somewhat render these shell-alliances useless and keep the alliance leader boards clutter-free. At the rate these shells are being created, there might as well be an option to setup a corporation inside your aligned alliance instead.

    This could work if the above questions/problems are addressed. A number of fail-safe arguments would need to be added along the lines of: Withdrawal Cap, Deposit Cap, Maximum of 1 deposit & 1 withdrawal per month etc to stop abuse of the system
