Kamala Khan

Ok this is a really good post, someone please remind me to consider nominating it for best post 2020 whenever the award season occurs. Sad to see you guys go, Acadia was an IQ alliance I didn’t hate. I wish you all the best of luck in the future, whatever you guys decide to do.

The only people to propose hitting you were people like Elijah, ex-IQ members who hold no power. Everyone else instantly shot the idea down because we all recognized it was dumb, since you guys hadn’t done anything to deserve being hit.

I would give you all my cats and dogs for peace. Granted, I don’t have any, but still.

So you are saying that our peace terms are in Australia and that @Sphinx had them the whole time? Oy, Sphinx, give us the peace terms that Tiberius says you have.

Are you implying that @Prefonteen actually isn’t the second coming of Jesus Christ and that I have been lied to?

I am still confused as to how this relates to Sphinx, please enlighten me. (No but seriously where did this meme come from?) Also Sphinx isn’t the most notorious leaker, SK is. I’m not going to go back like 5 pages and find the post of the guy who said that just so I can quote it so I’m just going to say that here. Sphinx has just leaked 3 times, basically every single leader SK has ever had has leaked.

Congratulations to The Immortals on gaining one of the best alliances in Orbis as their allies! Good luck on your partnership!

I've found it really enjoyable to be part of an excellent group of individuals who are well-coordinated and are just all-round cool. It's been quite an experience coordinating with alliance and other non-IQ players to meet the goals set by our leaders, and it's cool to think that we are shaping the future of Orbis with our current actions (and for the better).

It was fun fighting alongside you guys. While I obviously wish you all had stayed in longer, you all have done your part. Good luck on the rebuild, and good luck in the future!

This was Elijah’s argument when he stole the Yakuza bank and entered VM back in September. His argument didn’t hold up, and Alex returned the bank and deleted 20% of it. In addition, if this were allowed, what would stop TKR or NPO from having one of their gov members take the bank, leave the alliance, and then enter VM?

Just wanted to point out that it would be impossible for the Acadia nation to receive a Pyrrhic victory if they were attacking with their full ground force, even in a worst case scenario. 0.4*351,000=140,000, which is greater than 93,000, or the max that the BK member could roll. So it would be impossible to receive anything less than an Immense Triumph.

Joe Stupid is not the Joe who entered VM, that was Joe Baker.

It’s been fun, CoS. Was an honor to fight alongside you. I wish you all the best of luck in the future.

Oh don’t worry, I still make fun of @Sphinxall the time for his leaks.

Akuryo is referring to how IQ caused this to happen by defending BoC. In fact, Akuryo is actually in the alliance that caused TCW to join our side.

Well well well, it’s about time.

Yes, you can go home now, go buy your infrastructure back to 3000 in each city, no one will destroy it.

Happy holidays to you as well! We are all Groot at this time of year!

Arrgh! May you all continue raiding for another 5 years!

This isn’t entirely correct. IQ definitely controlled the awards last year due to their numbers. I can’t speak to previous years though.

1. Just because they didn’t want to personally hit KETOGG doesn’t mean that they weren’t a hostile party, and they did plot for KETOGG to get rolled, it doesn’t matter if that plan never ended up happening. They just wouldn’t be the ones to carry it out. We all know that if TKR were to hypothetically plot to have KETOGG hit NPO, you guys would hit TKR, and you guys would be right to do so. 2. Personally, my idea of minispheres is that wars are never just between 2 minispheres. In my ideal world, there would be about 6-7 minispheres, all of them with conflicting interests. You would be able to fight wars without them resulting in either permanent grudges or permanent paperless alignments. You would have to build temporary coalitions to defeat other spheres, and then you could fight against your ex-coalition partners the next war with the people you just rolled. IMO this would make the game much more dynamic, and would make the political environment very interesting. When I first joined, I was very disappointed to learn that the political environment was not like this. You have to admit that this would be more interesting than the current bipolar environment, where we know what the general sides of the next global will be, and the one after that, and perhaps even the one after that.

Usually when someone plots to have you hit and you find out about that, then you hit them first. Just because their plans didn’t pan out this time doesn’t mean that they suddenly are no longer a hostile party. And we both know that Chaos vs BK Sphere would not be a fair fight, BK Sphere was way bigger than us, and even if the majority of their sphere sucks at fighting and is untested or whatever, their numbers are so great that we would never stand a chance. All spheres are not created equal in strength.

Noctis, awards already are a numbers game, and they’ve been a numbers game.
