[API upgrades, plz]

@Iteo

1. Good idea, for now we'll just have to use the HTML table at https://politicsandwar.com/leaderboards/display=color to do this (which is a lot more work than everything else)

2. There is already an API for this (http://politicsandwar.com/api/wars/). I made a list of all the APIs I could find:

 

Alliances
http://politicsandwar.com/api/alliances/

Alliance
http://politicsandwar.com/api/alliance/id= (AA ID)

Alliance Bank
http://politicsandwar.com/api/alliance-bank/?allianceid= (AA ID) &key= (API key)

Alliance Members
http://politicsandwar.com/api/alliance-members/?allianceid= (AA ID) &key= (API key)

Alliance Applicants
http://politicsandwar.com/api/applicants/ (AA ID)

Nations:
http://politicsandwar.com/api/nations/

Nation
http://politicsandwar.com/api/nation/id= (nation ID)

Wars
http://politicsandwar.com/api/wars/

War
http://politicsandwar.com/api/war/ (war ID)

City
http://politicsandwar.com/api/city/id= (city ID)

Tradeprice
http://politicsandwar.com/api/tradeprice/resource= (resource name)

 

3. imo it's not that important, but the nations API could do with a change just not sure what...

4. This has been brought up before I think, it would probably be a great help.

5. If you need something like this, maybe you only need Unique IDs for nations in an alliance (especially applicants). Try doing that instead of all nations.

[Bankruptcy?]

If you run out of money or resources to maintain your improvements then they just stop functioning and produce nothing. I'm pretty sure you keep whatever military you have. 

If you run out of food then your gross income is decreased to 2/3 of what it is normally. Your cities will also gradually lose population.

That's all I know, I think it's accurate. Toodles

[Time resets]

A new day starts at 12:00am Orbis time (which is UTC). There's a clock in game that can be found at the bottom of the left side menu that displays the current time in Orbis.

I'd imagine for this heist to be as impactful as it was, all of the safekeeping nations were recalled on their aa bank holdings so the big man could "check how much they have to work with". I also don't think he could've sent it off to another nation because I remember it all happening very quickly and iirc you can't delete your nation within 3 days of your most recent trade (that's what the game told me, at least).

[TJ vs IQ: who won?]

 

Essentially, BK received 8 billion in damages and only dealt 4.5 billion. You didn't gain anything from the war. Take the L given to you by our Lord and savior Buorhann the cultural hippopotamus and be on your merry way.

Firstly, I want to clear up with some people in BK that I don't hate them in any way. I'd respect them more if they used their head more than their mouth, but I in no way hold any hostile feelings towards any of them (nor any member of IQ, for that matter). I feel like I need to clarify how I feel about BK, so I wrote up this little analogy:

It's like when your parents held you back from going to school and made you stay home to work on the family farm your whole life, then one day you turn on the TV and see how much more interesting other people are having. So, you leave home and go to the local school. When you get there, you realize how farms should be operating and you compare it to your family's farm. You then realize that your family's farm has been slowly dying out of business since before you started working there. You only planned to be away for a few weeks, but it turns out that you wouldn't mind staying off of the sinking ship of a farm your family runs. Having gone through that, you love your family and hate seeing them believing in the crippling business that their farm is and keep telling it to their faces, but they seem to not understand anything you're saying and continue making the same mistakes.

When you see people saying things that contradict your opinions about game issues, you should be responding either sarcastically with memes or honestly with reasoning for your opinions. Also, if you have an issue with me or the things I say, then message me.

This video portrays pretty accurately what occurred on the BK front of the war:

Leaked photo inside of NPO's brainwashing facilities, possible answer as to why the alliance with the most members and second highest score has nearly no active members on the forums:

According to the following image of a wild Messi caught live on the Terminal Jest discord server, it appears that NPO's above facilities are being used on all members of IQ to enforce synchronicity:

On second thought, this may be an issue with BK's education system. Here's another member of BK who's made it all the way through the Black Knights University and fully embraced the "facts" provided to him by their internal affairs: Evidence of Failed BKU Education System. Here's a little snippet of the linked pastebin conversation (which occurred on the BK server in #bk-public):

keelan - Last Sunday at 10:30 PM
but we are such a great alliance, and we actually win wars
5-0

 

Since it seems like you guys honestly believe that you've won the war, I'll show you my main argument as to why you actually did lose:

Here's a direct link to the damage report spreadsheet: TJ-IQ War: Damages Report

There has been no evidence from IQ arguing that these statements are false. As can be seen in the spreadsheet, the band of 28 members known as Terminal Jest has dealt nearly $43B in damages, while the entire IQ bloc, consisting of more than 450 members (of which 174 members were involved in the conflict), has dealt a little over $19B in damages. If your argument is "TJ disbanded, therefore they lost", then I'll remind you that WW2 was won by the allies, but they both pose very different situations. In the second world war, the Axis powers were defeated and rendered incapable of causing any more damage, as well as a division of Germany among the allies (The era of partition). In the TJ vs IQ war, TJ was neither defeated nor rendered incapable of causing further damage. They can strike again whenever they like and there is nothing stopping them. If you are so confident that IQ won the war, I welcome you to explain why.

[City/Infra Cost Effectiveness]

On February 3, 2018 at 7:17 AM, Kyle N said:

But I was wondering at what point it becomes more cost effective infra wise to go to 2.5k, or 3k for example instead of building another city. I think the solution is just to graph the infra price and city costs and see when they intersect and such.

If you're trying to compare buying infra and buying a new city for profit (as opposed to less spending) then you'll have to graph income (y axis) and cost (x axis). The income can be calculated, you'll just have to create/get a program that can do it.

The Nation of Fraggle Rock

 

 

Greetings Orbis. I bring great news to the world!! In a completely unexpected turn of events, the war is ending!!  IQ has decided to buy peace. Per the settlement, all parties of this war will stop all hostilities in twelve hours. The terms that can be made public are listed below. It has been a pleasure to work with both sides to end this great war.

 

1) All parties involved will stop the fighting and shake each other's hands.

2) The secret fee to Fraggle Rock will be paid within 8 hours. If this payment is not made, war will continue.

3) Partisan will not plot against Fraggle Rock for selling him out.

Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Prep: 15 m

Cook: 10 m

Ready In: 35 m

Recipe By: Jenn

They may sound difficult, but I could seriously burn water and created this recipe myself. I tend not to use actual measurements (I like them really chocolaty), but stick close to what I have here. Everyone who has ever tasted them, loves them... And if I can make them, anyone can.

Ingredients

• 1 cup shortening
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour

 

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup crispy rice cereal
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup jumbo semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, white sugar, brown sugar and honey until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the oats, cereal, jumbo chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Enjoy!
