I thought Hogwarts were your Sparta's friends? Oops, guess you aren't Sparta anymore.

Josh Murks is not ghosting Sparta and we didn't have any knowledge of his departure until it was done. If he wishes to re-apply he will have to, yet again, go through the special hell that is Alpha's month long application process. But there were definitely people that joined Sparta for the war, after the war, etc. I don't think anyone can argue there weren't. Going from what Sparta was to what it is now is further proof of that.

Congrats TCW. Still are quite a few neutrals in this game tho.

We actually didn't fire off too many at you b/c of the lower infra, but by it wasn't like VE was keeping you at war or zeroed so the beige protection wasn't a concern when we went nukes-free. Again, nukes = nice weapon when losing, conventional = when winning. We actually were not planning to be apart of that war and were just hunkering down waiting for someone and all their allies to come get some nukes, especially after Rose and VE dropped us. We were never apart of the coalition or coalition channels or planning. A small correction, we did know about the war like 2-3 days before it happened, but that was after everyone was already bulking, so I've basically, that was after the war started in my opinion. We were asked to go in on you guys by NPO. So many better targets imo, although I suppose were limited by who attacked NPO. I voiced my reservations privately because I didn't think we were going win your front on account of VE just absolutely rolling over. But I am a sucker for honoring a treaty despite those reservations. I thought it was stupid to pre-empt and still find that to be the case, but I realize people like their first strike advantage.

That is some WoT, Bollocks. But of course, we are the salty ones, lol. I'm going to repeat myself again for your benefit. When Alpha entered that war, it was lost. We knew it, everyone knew it. We honored a treaty with NPO, at NPO's request and attacked the target who had hit them at their request. I thought it was stupid to attack a relatively nuke-proof target in Mensa (to their credit, an alliance I still have a lot of respect for). And I was happy to see Mensa destroying VE, who had just dropped us in the most disrespectful way I could imagine (now this is legit Alpha butthurt, lol). But I will always be there for my allies. Win or lose. Honestly, the butthurt we create in losing/nuclear wars is more fun, because people love to whine about how unfair nukes are while ignoring the fact they never wanted a fair fight to begin with, forcing us into our nuclear defensive option. Alpha wasn't even notified of that war until it rolled out, which should've resulted in an instant-cancel, but that's not how we operate. Our history of conventional vs. nuclear is well known and I find no reason to rehash. What always amazes me is in our nuclear wars, is we always updeclare on those nations with high infra and the pixel huggers who won't declare wars. Not sure why people forget, you can set your clock to that fact.

In some ways I agree with Rush here. It was never really something that had much teeth to it. Never really had much a problem with it because eventually those who spied would've gotten thrown out or their alliance rolled. Nothing gives someone an easier CB than spying or raids in this game.

Honestly, at this point, if someone tried something I think we'd make the tS-Alpha war look like a bee-sting in terms of dmg dealt. Plus we have about 5-10x the resources to work with this time around. :smug:.

You really are just completely idiotic. How many alliances hit us that war? Eight, Nine? You being one of the those that bandwagoned in when there was almost no warslots left anyway. But, I'm sure tC would easily hold off 33 bigger nations that filled your 33 defensive slots. Stop being such a baby that we focused nukes on you because of how awful your bandwagon was. You can keep spinning, but I don't think you even realize how dizzy you are right now.

When people post things like this it only reflects their bias. Not sound or well thought out logic. The victors always want a quick surrender after they've destroyed all the expensive infra, but not taken so much damage from infra-lite opponents they don't want to waste gas/munitions on at their low infra levels. The losers *should* always want a longer war because it's not until later rounds that they do more infra dmg $ than the victors. I honestly didn't follow when UPN surrendered, but I know that quick surrenders weaken a coalition and are toxic to objectives of that coalition. Surrender is always much rougher on those that stay in as well, when people peace out individually and not with the coalition. I will never understand why anyone peaces out before their ally, who they went in for in the 1st place. This isn't a comment about UPN directly, just in general about odd conventions we have here.

Oprah def worships the nuke god.

Congrats you dirty authoritarian penguins.

Why are you trolling us like this? Was Trump's campaign rally tonight not enough trolling for you?

CF has allies and friends, says more about those relationships than anything.

Polaris is one of the most loyal alliances in this game. If they felt a change was needed, it was well within reason.

Hehe. It's almost as if people are posting, not based on facts or history, but on a political agenda. No, no, that never happens.

Arkiri, you seemed like an alright dude. Aerys, best of luck to you.

We have come to terms with Patton and he's not going to quit now, which we are happy to see. Please hands off his war slots, he is now protected by Alpha until we finalize everything.

Joint Alpha - Spanish Armada Announcement This serves as notice to let everyone know that the following nation is at a state of war with both Alpha and Spanish Armada until further notice: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=10533 Patton of -England- Due to Patton's aggressive actions, we ask that you kindly refrain from filling his war or spy slots, as they are reserved for us. Please do not aid or otherwise help out his nation or you will also be at a state of aggressive war with Alpha and Spanish Armada. We also strongly advise you to not accept this nation into your alliance. Until Patton negotiates peace, he will remain at a state of war with us and any affiliates we employ should he fall out of range. We do not take kindly to rogues. And we don't like devoting time to putting him down during golf season.

That is super depressing. I feel like you just made a case against democracy.

I do wonder how many people have 2500+ land per city. That seems to be about where food production is still profitable. I still can't believe people would sell any raw resource for less than $2000 per now that you make so little each day.

Kastor, we need a consolidation list updated. You are slacking.

This made me chuckle a bit. Especially when the whole 'no' groupthink was happening here. I think 'wrong' is a slight step above that at least.

Now this information that greatly pleases me.

I agree with you and George Clooney at the same time. But I still sorta still like climbing pointless leaderboards. Unless you let me brag about sitting on city 20 for over 450 days now. George is ex-NAC and NAC were pretty awesome fighters, I'd give him a bit of slack due to his roots. o7 the nuke gods

A German Tiger tank blowing up a swastika....ummmmm.
