  1. Yeah, I don't buy it. I am sure you are just pulling a Scorpions trick so that you get to sell more tickets for your "last" concert, seeing how you got a new song.
  2. Ι think this one is already a default war declaration message (at least the first part).
  3. You really got me there, Rob. I thought you would suggest that the only solution is a bipolar Orbis. Then you pulled out the paperless gem. Cheers.
  4. Red Birthday flashbacks Let me just add that you are what you are also because of the antagonism and enemies you have come to face over the last 4 years. Here is to another 4 years and more, House Stark.
  5. RoH implies defence. Defence implies you protect members. The war started because Hannah and Alexio were specifically hit. Your "RoHs" were based literally on 5 raids ("mass raiding your folks"). Our RoH was based on the fact that Ampersand attacked the entirety of Arrgh, and not just the 3 people that participated to that "mass raid". Literally every other Swamp alliance just attacked Arrgh to support Ampersand on their aggressive activities. Calling this a "defense" is ridiculous, and submitting a RoH for that is even more so. About the "we didn't go to war" part, 1 out of 3 of your own government members clarified what your scope was. Just a few links to refresh your memory: https://forum.politicsandwar.com/index.php?/topic/29953-walk-the-plank-roh/&do=findComment&comment=473456 https://forum.politicsandwar.com/index.php?/topic/29953-walk-the-plank-roh/&do=findComment&comment=473508 https://forum.politicsandwar.com/index.php?/topic/29953-walk-the-plank-roh/&do=findComment&comment=473552 etc. Your goal was never to defend members or support them. Your goals were: Arrgh to lose profit Arrgh to lose members Essentially, Arrgh to be "taught a lesson" and stop raiding This has been clear through all the posts by the Swamp membership. Only Alexio and you pretend that this was not an anti-piracy campaign and was just a "defensive war". On the other hand, if you really believe you are in the defensive here, either we should be blushing for being considered such a great threat that you need 600 nations to attack us, or you should be worrying about the military capabilities of your bloc. In any case, #off-topic. Sorry for derailing the thread. I will keep it to that.
  6. I don't see anything below -100% here: https://politicsandwar.com/world/radiation/
  7. Yes. The Test server is just for testing. No game-related rules are moderated there.
  8. Mayor, just letting you know that you are being kinda unfair here. I would say TKR has "redeemed" itself already (if anyone really has to redeem for playing safe in a game) more than once. Adrienne points out to TKR's activities for the past 3 years. That's half of the Orbis history. And if you want to take revenge for Arrgh time's sake, do that while fighting from Arrgh.
  9. Hi MBaku. This has been mentioned before, but I will repeat it for you, since you spent some time to provide stats and well-formatted arguments. Our war is not a closed system. Arrgh is not raiding just Swamp. It is raiding other alliances too, at the same time. The losses you present (the $5B) are just replenished by that loot. You can use Borg's bot to get a rough number for that. We can keep up this war indefinitely, as we've been doing for the past 6 years. What you seem to misunderstand is this: you think that Arrgh has a peace-mode. It doesn't. The only thing you achieve with this war is to be the only bloc filling our defensive slots, while in "normal times" these slots are distributed among all Orbis alliances. In other words, your greatest achievement is countering for all of our raids in Orbis and letting the other alliances relax.
  10. I will just point out that Zim made his pumpkin while drunk with rum. This should give him an extra point or two.
  11. That's on the test server. Unless there is a tournament going on, multies are not moderated in the test server.
  12. Not sure whether to be happy about this comment or actually get offended.
  13. This won't age well. tum dum tssssssss
  14. I am repeating myself here, but war goals are a means to something. Most of the time, they reflect political goals. If the goal of Mythic is to become rich and of TEst to stop being raided, I think that the one winning right now is not TEst.
  15. Nope. We won't. That's true, but pretty old history. Before Papers, Please, Arrgh had a quite strict DNR list and was more "careful" with its raids. After Papers, Please, Arrgh kept only a short DNR with just some friendly alliances and the alliances that were buying pirate insurance. For the rest 3 years, there is no actual DNR list in Arrgh.
  16. You don't care about your infra because your alliance will reimburse damages anyway. That's a really irresponsible way to look at things. Alliances entrust their members with funds and their government with funding decisions. The funds belong to the alliance and its members. Not caring how these are spent is like not caring about the very fact members are taxed (being stolen money for a common goal [that does not exist, in this case]). The said members: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=230114 (inactive since August, 7 cities) https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=138153 (inactive/ no-raids declared since August, 6 cities) https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=242546 (inactive since beginning of September, 3 cities) https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=244183 (inactive, no raids/wars ever declared, 2 cities) https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=243607 (inactive, no raids/wars ever declared, 2 cities) https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=241227 (inactive, no raids/wars ever declared, 2 cities) https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=241839 (inactive, no raids at all, 5 cities) https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=243098 (inactive, no raids/wars ever declared, 2 cities) https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=245297 (inactive, no raids/wars ever declared, 2 cities) We mostly removed just the new players that joined for a few days and never played again. tl;dr: 3 weeks and counting, with not a single pirate/raider being removed from Arrgh. You are close though. We will surrender soon and get a loan to rebuild.
  17. ... multiplied by 34 cities (the most for a nation in Arrgh)... faints $9,614,091.6.
  18. This anime dub is weird... I am pretty sure they got a guy as a voice-actor... (Nice voice. Have fun.)
  19. I just thank you for confirming that you have an abstract war goal and no political one backing it. I am amazed you tax people and use their money under such circumstances. War without politics is pure warmongering. It looks like we are more similar than you thought. Welcome to the "fun side" of the game you so much condemn. I did chuckle with this one. Loans to rebuild... what? I think this confirms you guys are just oblivious when it comes to understanding how piracy works.
  20. Not only you don't know what your goal is, but you are not even sure whether you actually have a goal. To answer to your question though... "Βecause you are using your taxpayers money and you should use them responsibly." Especially if you think that the only reason the war started was because leaders were attacked, but when it came to members, you wouldn't even launch regular counters. A reason I am saying you have no goals. How much is "enough"? Asking for a friend. ------------------------------------------------------------ Here is the scenario I am seeing from what you are saying: In a few weeks, you will be at $20B damage received and $5B inflicted, with that $5B being reduced to half that due to regular raiding. Then you will unilaterally declare victory or that the war is over and call it a win because your "goal" was fulfilled. And then you will keep getting raided as always... ... and you will enjoy it.
  21. Let's say that your official bloc-wide war goal is for: a. Arrgh to make no money/get max damage, b. no matter the cost for you, c. forever. What's the "political" goal you expect to achieve with this? To put on pressure for Arrgh to never raid you again? To end piracy altogether forever in Orbis? To get reparations? Or the damage is the end-goal per se suddenly, because some of your leaders got kinda sad they were actually the ones being raided for once, instead of your members?
  22. I confirm no dogs or animals are harmed in the making of Arrgh war movies. Except for whales... Kill the whales...
