We're the ones acting like 5 yr olds?? You're the guy who makes an account then proceeds to wax eloquent all over the place about nationalism and fascism, two fairly controversial things, then when someone doesn't agree with you, you threw a fit. Did you expect we'd all join you in loudly commending fascism or that everyone would accept your ideas as fact? Then you rage quit. I must say you've proven nothing except for a high level of immaturity, and to be honest, your leaving is no great loss, come back when you've matured a little and can talk about something other than national corporatism.

After a short and decisive 1 second "war" where the great leader Subin annihilated from Orbis the degenerate consortium of foul beasts known as UPN, he graciously ressurected them and now declares UPN will join the great assemblage of angels, HIL, to serve as slaves to the all-powerful Subin. For kneeling before Subin and kissing his feet, (plus some begging) face stealing goat demon Underlordgc has been reborn as the operator of Subin's bread slicing machine. Truly Subin is caring and gracious. Congratulations to UPN for rising from darkness into light and praise the almighty Subin, he who knows all and rules this world as its omnipotent, hyper-intelligent, considerate, patient, gracious, and swaggy conqueror. You're next Socialist International....

Well one must start being interesting somewhere, and I suppose making eyes bleed isn't a bad start.

*sobs* Hereno doesn't think I'm interesting. Where did I go wrong???? I mean, if you're even more boring than a socialist alliance, then you're clearly doing something wrong. I guess I just have create more drama.... Down with the tyrant Sheepy! Subin for SUPREME LEADER OF POLITICS AND WAR!!!!! When you think of class, character, intelligence, thoughtfulness and diligence, you obviously think of Subin, the classy head of the greatest alliance in the world: Holy Imperial League Since you obviously agree send your bank contents to Subin right now. He will use them for benevolence and good deeds for sure. Nuts to the Haters!!!!! UP SUBIN!!!!! And I'm out...

First off, you can whine about "the true" all you want, but since much more reputable people have told us precisely whats going on, there is no one who actually wants to hear what you guys have to say about "the true". Instead of rambling and digging yourselves deeper into a hole, try taking some good advice and just stay quiet until you guys figure out how to run an alliance.

This seems very sensible, +1 from me.

Oh dear.... If you would like answers to questions like that, I would recommend taking a glance through Sheepy's guides, or joining an alliance which can help you with such questions.

Always good to see a fellow company man around. Welcome to the forums!

You know, the raiders return probably isn't the best alliance to base your foreign policy on, not that it'll matter in the 5 minutes you'll last against SI. As for standing together "when the whole world is against you" that's not bravery, just Social Darwinism at its finest.

There is a spy operation that will kill other spies. As for whether they should be capped or not, spies are definitely underpowered, a cap isn't a good idea. I used spies a lot back in the speed round, and the reason they were nerved in the first place was that since money flowed freely, people could afford to build and use gigantic spy armies, and could use them multiple times per day. Such aggressive tactics got some people complaining they were overpowered, but it was simply due to the circumstances. Now, when the game is slower, you can only attack one per day, and still need a ton of spies to accomplish any real damage with good success, but the cost and use are too expensive to get really good results, so spies are borderline useless until you get to higher levels, and their still limited to one use per day, if you can afford it. They should definitely be brought back to pre-nerf levels simply because this isn't the speed round, but we have spies that are still balanced for it.

Well, that was fast. Good on HIL for cooperating, they seem to have had a bit of a rough streak recently.

Raiders could send troops to help each other raid, but conversely large nations in an alliance could flood troops into smaller nations to insulate them from attack, or let them hit anyone at their level with impunity. If this was to be allowed, there should be limits on troops that can be sent, and perhaps soldiers on overseas duty would cost 2 times as much as normal.

I feel like I should be making a joke about landed nobility and brass buttons. 8.5/10

Tiny socialist democratic republic. I could make more jokes about the fascist capitalist empire. Would you rather end the world by releasing an incredibly virulent disease, or launching the world's stockpile of nuclear weapons?

Are you kidding? The last (and only) world war we've had was both much larger and much entertaining. This is just a skirmish compared to that war, and not even a particularly large conflict. This won't destroy anything, its happened plenty of times before. A raiding alliance will pop up, and lots of people will usually start hitting them, such alliances are easy to hate and won't hurt your reputation to attack. In the end, the raiders collapse, reform their policies, or sink into a spiral of decay. TRR are no different, and will fade away as time goes on, and someone new will take their place. Everything will go on as usual, so there is no real sense in treating them like something special.

Well, it certainly is nice to see the alliance affairs page filled with declarations of eternal war against and harsh denouncements of an alliance that is not us. It seems the raiders return is trying to steal the old VOC's title as the most hated raiding alliance. Now I can just sit back and watch someone else get beat down for the everyones entertainment

Granted, but the first time you try to use your computer, it melts into a heap of silicon and plastic slag. I wish I had an alpaca

Are you kidding? I would make a double batch! Now I really want a brownie. The person below me always calls fog "ground clouds."

This is a really bad idea. Spies can get pretty expensive, in both upkeep and use, so your suggestion would basically ensure small-midsize nations have no idea what any nations around them have for a military since maintaining a decent number of spies and using them would be prohibitively expensive. In addition, you only get one spy use per day, and I can't think of anyone who would want to waste that use, and spend a good chunk of cash ($10,000 per spy at the most basic level) just to find out what another nations military is. If you wanted to keep an eye on someone for a couple days, you would never have any spare cash, just be spending it all on spies. To make it worse, your idea would only allow for partial army counts or a high chance of failure, ensuring you will never get a full picture. I mean, say you are in a war, and want to see your opponents army. You will send a spy raid over, and either see a random percentage of their troops, or fail completely. Either way, you will have no real idea of their strength, and will have wasted the money you could've used to support your military, leaving you with less than you started, and easily crushed. Of course, your opponent will have the exact same problem, meaning war will suck. To restate, this is a really bad idea, and shouldn't happen.

Looks like you guys had the sense to get out before the commonwealth completely shatters. Good luck out there.

Lambda was one of the people reset by Sheepy at the start of the speed round over the issue of having people send you their seed money considered cheating. Lamba then proceeded to make a big fuss on the forums and quit.
