We stand at the very edge of discovery, looking back at the challenges and forward into the infinite expanse of possibilities. One year ago, on March 1st, 2024, Event Horizon emerged. It was not a gradual evolution; it was a gravitational collision of immense powers, a sign of the times. The merge between Aurora and Carthago into a single, massive entity shook the known world, and in just three days, we easily broke into Rank #2. In the wake of our inception, we forged our path not through passive existence but through decisive action. The Clinical Trials saw us strike first, bringing the fight to The Immortals heretics. That war was not merely about conquest or aggression; it was a statement. Our faithful disrupted a cycle of complacency, shattered illusions of invincibility, and proved that stagnation has no place in the expanse. The void beckons and does not remain still. Espresso followed soon after, another test, another challenge. When RoseSphere, Singularity, and their allies turned their wrath upon us while we were still engaged in war, they expected a weakened opponent. They did not anticipate the gravity of our resolve. Event Horizon does not crumble—it pulls all things inward, onto salvation. Our allies, Knights Templar and Legion of Dawn, knew this truth, standing with us even as the chaos deepened. Af full year has passed, and yet we are only at the beginning. The abyss calls us faithful, and we will answer as we always have: with strength, unity, and the relentless pursuit of our own destiny. Per Aspera Ad Astra! "From the void, we rose anew, Bound by gravity, strong and true. One year past, yet still we stand, Acolytes forged by steady hand. Through trials waged in fire and stardust, We held our ground, fought as we must. Through shadowed tides and war-torn skies, We saw through fear, we heard no lies. The stars may burn, the light may fade, But in the dark, our path is made." TLDR: Event Horizon celebrates its first Anniversary.

Okay, looking back it seems we spoke on this back in 2023? That's my bad, I didn't realize it was still an ongoing issue. Hope you recover and will be thinking about you.

I was gonna say maybe he should be in Grumpy instead, since I can read that just fine. Gotta get your eyes checked.

Away we go.

So, much while I'm all for wishing people a good start, I also think it's completely fair to point out how neither Alexio or Demonspawn have been consistent with an Alliance or positive in the ones in their track record... since basically ever. But hey, new year new me, right?! I'm sure you won't disappoint.

I'm gonna be honest, the breadth of the point made seems to be shifting blame. Aka "no u" in an appeal to political action against exclusively Eclipse, when to the best of my knowledge there isn't an equivalent sentiment against them? Solomon made a good point in acknowledging a "sins of the father" perspective to it, and I can appreciate trying to distinguish oneself from your predecessor with this post... but thus far, while commendable, it's honestly not been a sufficient, or rather fortunate attempt in my eyes.

Peace in our time...

I actually wholeheartedly agree - so I'll piggyback Krampus taking the time to write this. --- Reading through the thread, I'm not sure what's the point in increasing the costs marginally? To my understanding, it's a resource production and availability problem - macroeconomic, and a microeconomic change wouldn't impact it significantly? Also, I've run into people being demotivated due to not being able to afford nukes or missiles for one reason or the other, so I'm not positive this would be clever considering they'd get further demotivated and otherwise need to make due even further. Thinking of game experience, the real headline is figuring out how to make the game more fun even if you are on the losing side of the dogpile, not what appears to be the opposite?

1) So, I understand TKR and Grumpy have gone through some of this. I'm not sure if you remember, but Carthago was hit multiple times shortly post-rebuild during our existence... and I mean, we're rolling with the punches. 2) I am not in a leadership position. I've been retired for around a year - keep up with the times, old man; 3) Grave is not a scumbag, he's just a bumbling idiot. That's also a mischaracterization of the events - he sent those during the period The Immortals were being rolled.

Did you take your medicine? I ain't no scumbag.

What I'm suggesting is the pretty bog simple dynamic of an asymmetric war, which might be a novel concept regardless of your supposed background in Milcom. It's infinitely easier to declare more wars when you're fighting more people. Whereas we were limited to the initial slots and then instantly hitting you whenever a shmuck came off beige... or didn't VM for that matter. Y'know what the difference between us is? You'd reach out to anyone willing to listen to your drivel. On the flip side, your folks reach out us looking to join up because of how tired they are of your excuse for a government, lmao.

Thanks for further proving my point you haven't the slightest idea what's going on! More wars per player... Rofl I had to think for a moment to remember what you were getting at. Yeah, that's how basic math works - if there's more of us than there are of you, the average is naturally gonna be different since we run out of slots a piece, lmao. I don't know what that says about us, only tells me you're an idiot. As for a lack of Milcom, yeah that's apparent. Really something how people getting bailed out come out of the woodwork to say shit like they matter...
