  1. As to your first paragraph, it is true that major alliances would still be able to provide AUP and UP to their members, but do realise, if you're increasing the price of food, and in turn increasing the price of UP and AUP, that also means that the major alliances in the game only get to enjoy an even greater advantage out of UP and AUP than they already do. This is a potential issue, and I think it needs to be taken into consideration. While you are increasing the burden of food consumption on larger nations, I'm not convinced that this is a true solution to the problem, and I tend to think that the people who make food will likely only serve to benefit in the long term from the change, more than whales in general getting hurt by it.
  2. I want you to consider that these have been your following wars since the end of Duck Hunt Hollywood's formation and then declaration into Rose, wherein you formed a mega sphere and then immediately crashed it into Rose Your war on Swamp, which you admitted you only used as a way to chain into Rose with your war against Rose last December, Syndicate did not force you, we've known for quite awhile that you only wanted Rose that entire time. Your attempt to save TKR in this past war in order to save them so you could use them to roll Rose Plus, there was that one time you hit Back Room So, you have taken offensive action 4 times in the last 2 years or so, 3 of those 4 times were to either roll Rose, or a setup move so that you could roll Rose. Sure, we allied t$ some time after our wars, but you allied them right after us. If they were such scum, all the way back to you in last December, forcing you to hit Rose in your own words, then why would you ever even think to ally them again, like you just did? Once again, your words here do not line up with your actions
  3. Did we not do that last around Christmas, wherein we had a sphere with no connections to the top three, and yet you and your sphere still came and hit us? Did we not do that when Hollywood formed, and you hit a Rose sphere with no connections to a top 3? Are we not doing that right now? What is is that you want Keegoz, because your actions do not line up with the words you're saying right now.
  4. Yes, quite, I'm glad you've finally realized how unhealthy the multi-year long grudge you've held against Rose is. This isn't a year long thing. You planned to roll us mere weeks ago, and we're simply acting on that as well as every other CB you've handed us over the years that we've yet to cash in.
  5. Hell hath no fury like a Rose scorned. This was a long time coming, and it's time the price is paid.
  6. It sucks getting older, doesn't it Grumpy? Happy fighting everyone!
  7. I feel as though we're trying to fix a political problem with game mechanics, but ultimately, you can't fix this problem. We're all lamenting that "wars are never close enough" that there's no "chance to fight back", but it's the case that no one is ever going to declare a war where the outcome is undecided. No one is going to willingly declare a war that could be close, and this is part of the reason why the offensive side always wins global wars, in addition to the fact that the game mechanics already benefit the attacker. No one is going to declare a global war where they think the outcome is close or undecided, there's simply too much on the line to make that sort of jump.
  8. When I started playing these sorts of games back in 2013, Redarmy was one of the first few people I met and made myself acquainted with, and out of the lot of people I met at first when entering this whole environment, Redarmy was one of the few people who welcomed me as a newcomer with open arms, and I'll always remember him for that. In a similar vein, he also later on helped give me the courage to be myself in this environment, and it is because of his actions that I am where I am now, and I just wish I could have expressed to him how much of an impact he had on me one last time. I also wish that I could have expressed my gratitude for his dedication to Rose during his term as Emperor, as I could have hardly wished for a better person to take on that role, and I think that Redarmy helped to set a standard for future leaders that we all could aspire to. His acceptance of others and understanding is always something I admired, and something that I think helped not only Rose, but the game as a whole. I'm more than grateful that he had the confidence in me to let me be his Regent when he held his term as Emperor, and I can scarcely imagine another person that I would be more proud to have shared a government with. What more can I say than that he was simply taken from us far too soon. I don't think I'll ever be able to load up the game again without thinking at least a bit about him.
  9. Roberts, I find the overall idea behind the ending portion of your post commendable. I also think that we as a community should try our best to help out the alliances that need it. However, at the same time, I find it rather weird that you juxtaposed this idea with your opening statement, that the game is so easy that anyone could obviously do well if given even the barest minimum of support, doesn't that mean that, if in your opinion, the game is so easy, that no one should need help? At the same time you're over here telling the community at large to take in and help these alliances that need it, and critcizing people who are harsh towards underperforming alliances, but you undercut your own point when you, in your own post, start literally calling out alliances, more or less shaming them for not having the 'decency to take simple advice'. No wonder they don't want to participate in the public discource, even when people are trying to take up for them, they still get called out. I want to draw attention in particular to this portion of your post. You're over here trying to tell specific alliances what to do, and saying "Well it's so easy to fix your community, just do x, y and z." If it was really that simple, don't you think that they would have done those things already? If it was really just that easy to fix an alliance, don't you think these alliances would have fixed themselves? You're up here on your high horse, in a priviledged alliance, trying to lecture the underpriviledged by telling them "It's easy, just do what we do." Have you ever stopped to think that perhaps they can't do these things? I feel like you, someone who recently had an alliance fail on them, would understand their plight, and see how a post like this, telling them to just "do something" doesn't really help much at all to address their problems. Your post makes no sense, and is doing nothing to actually help the alliances that need help. You want to help them? How about you go join them, and recruit and raise new members for them for a good week or two. That will do more than anything else you've done in this thread.
  10. Is there any truth to this, Clock folk? If so, why wasn't this delineated in the peace treaty itself?
  11. "2a. Eclipse, GATO, and Weebunism mutually agree to work together in the best interest of improving Brown.2b. CATA, and CTO mutually agree to work together in the best interest of improving Olive." What exactly does this mean?
  12. Decagon, if you and Clock didn't agree with what The Syndicate and BW "did to you" at the time, then why didn't you do something about it? If you felt that you were truly "forced" into this, and you felt as though Syndicate had betrayed you, or some other bullshit, why didn't you punish them. Apart from that, as you've just admitted, this was something you wanted to do anyway, and based on the logs WANA has provided, as well as Keegoz's tone in the original logs he provided, where he put up literally no resistance, I don't really see how they forced you onto this. Circling back to those original logs, Keegoz claims that WANA officially made the hit on Rose part of the deal, but WANA, in Keegoz's own logs, quite literally says "If/When Clock hits Rose". That doesn't sound like a precondition to me, if anything, that sounds like, in Syndicate's eyes, you could have either chosen to hit Rose, or not to hit Rose, and Syndicate would have helped with the MysInc/Oasis war either way. The fact that you did absolutely nothing about this at the time, in my eyes, is a tacit implication that through this entire conversation with WANA, Keegoz got what he ultimately wanted, and didn't feel forced at all. The fact that you are only bringing up all this stuff now I think is really telling
  13. If you were truly forced into this whole situation of hitting Rose, that implies to me that you didn't want to do it. If you *really* didn't want to do it, then why didn't you just leak the logs to Rose, hit BW with Rose, leak the logs as CB, and explain your actions to everyone. The fact that you went through with the plan of hitting Rose implies to me that you were always interested in hitting Rose, whether it was "forced" upon you or not. If you truly did not appreciate the actions of BW, then why didn't you choose to punish them?
  14. If Metropolitan Planning is to exist, I think it should have an ROI similar to the other two projects (around 5 to 6 cities depending on the market). It's current cost is way too low in comparison to the projects that come before it. I also think that there should be more emphasis on a cost of raws as opposed to refineds, since the purpose of these projects more than anything else is to serve as a resource sink, Steel and Aluminum already have major resource sinks (wars) while raw resources such as Iron, Coal, Bauxite, and so on and so forth, seem to be lacking in terms of major resource sinks. As we can see from: https://politicsandwar.com/world-graphs/graphID=14 raw resources such as Iron have only steadily increased over time, with some rather sharp increases as of late, without any large dips, while steel and aluminum see major dips around the time that any major war occurs. With the introduction of that new RPC project, I also think that it is paramount that the game has major raw sinks, in order to ensure that raw resources are something that is actually worth making and selling for these new nations with the projects.
