Remember to make another one, for when P&W dips well below CN again.

Alex you messed up in doing this. The logs clearly show you gave them permission to do this. If you changed your mind then you should have asked them to stop instead of taking action to kill the game...... Those bans are unjustified.
I changed my opinion on supporting the game.
@Alex I'm sure you have logs. Gib money back please. You removed my reason to wanting to support the game.

Bannerinod lmao
Damn you're an archduke too, if this is the face of coal B
If It wasn't for my ability to completely ignore losing, how do you think we'd have made it this long?
I've said this a thousand times; Early on, I was told that "The main flaw of BK, is that they're too stupid to understand when they've lost." I then joined BK and found out it's absolutely correct. That's how we've won everything we've touched since AC.
Why we've always agreed to unfavorable peace agreements is beyond me.

3) This is bullshit.
I think you meant to say: Alex should have done this sooner (see "1" and "2").
No. He should have taken actions towards thousands of players joining the game, if he thought something fishy was going on.
Banning people like this, after telling them OK. That's bullshit. That he's protecting himself by now saying "I didn't think much of it" and "it was a stomach feeling", that's cowardly bullshit.
Thank heavens the Danish laws are written in ways that can't be interpreted like Alex interprets his own game rules, or my job would be a whole lot more difficult... or, to be honest, easier and more arbitrary.

Also. I paid Ripper $5m in game monies for him to make this avatar for me.
Are we getting bannerinoed for this? It's in game monies for in game avatar, but he used out-of-game-cool-skills to make it.
Where's the line, Alex?

So you're rewriting the rules as follows:
giving people irl money for ingame money: against the rules.
giving people comics for ingame money: ok with the rules.
Is for you anything other than irl money allowed? Farming in exchange for steam games for instance?
Or farming in exchange for an online subscription of the Economist?
I'm not re-writing. Alex is.
As I've said previously. I'm pretty sure every alliance has at least one channel, that you need to be part of the alliance to get access to.
What if it was "You have to join P&W to get access to this debate club channel"?
I realize now, that I should've went all Cato the Elder on this shit from the start.
1) I don't condone of what has happened.
2) Alex, by his complete lack of action and "my stomach feeling"-statement is the only one to blame in this. He could've said "No bueno, stop this immediately."
3) This is bullshit. But at least it makes it easy for me to leave the game. He killed my reason to play the game and I get to keep BK community.
This day is a win for me, personally. I get to leave this shitshow of a game and keep the people who made it the slightest bit interesting.

If you'd read the report, you'll see that when they all joined the game the answer I got was that they were an anime community and they all joined because of a ping in an anime server.
What actually happened was that a manhwa that was listed on another Discord server, called Hidden Wonderland, was removed and put under restricted access in the GPWC only for people who signed up and created a P&W nation. They then told these new players to setup farm builds and do nothing but login once every 15 days. The guides on NPO's website explicitly stated that they would receive access to the manhwa in exchange.
I dug through a lot of evidence to get this right.
I joined the game to be a tax farm. I'm still a tax farm.
I was stupid enough, not to get people to sign up for another game or the likes, but that's on me. Getting access to something like a comic is the worst BS I've ever seen. And yes, I've looked at the report (didn't bother looking at 23 pages of screenshots).
When Green was banned, he was paying people irl money for in-game money. With this, you're basically saying that we, as communities, can never ask for anything in return or offer anything in return.
I'm a 1000% certain, that you could find that comic in another way if you wanted.

Even the timing of that screenshot doesn't make sense - GPWC was formed in August, that screenshot is from November. Aside from the fact that it's vague and does not state what specifically was going on in GPWC (and had been for 2 months), asking for permissions for breaking the rules after the fact isn't okay either.
So you're the only person around the game, who didn't see what happened the day the alliance appeared? Thousands of players appear, and you never think "I wonder what caused this..." -- when they later reach out, you're not telling them "You know, this really isn't OK..."
As I stated before, I wasn't a fan from the moment they appeared, as I knew they'd be skewering the balance of the game but this? This is worse. FAR worse.

A content creator exercising out-of-game influence for in-game rewards is exactly what that rule is in place for.
If BK was exercising influence by withholding or offering access to those cat pictures unless someone outside of this game signed up and played and did so according to BK's expectations then, yes, I imagine BK would face similar consequences.
We have cat pictures you can't see 'cause you're not BK.
HAH!

I believe the point of contention is that cat pictures have no real monetary value to them. What they were being given in GPWC did, and may not have been attainable, or easily attainable otherwise.
I haven't actually looked at the evidence myself yet so I'm not entirely sure on the specifics of anything. Still processing the shock of seeing most of NPO gov get struck down...
Without knowing the "field", I'm entirely sure you can find anything you want on the interwebs. The difference here sounds like someone just did the job.

I'd just like to add, that despite they're "on my side", I don't actually agree with how the Guinea Pig Farm thing was set up. But Alex okay'ed it, the least he could do is reach out to the same people who reached out to him and tell them that he's decided it's not alright and that changes (or whatever) needs to be made.
This is like telling everyone it's OK to light bonfires, then you find out fire might spread and it's dangerous, so you make it illegal and then punish everyone who's had a bonfire previously... Jeeez.

The entire fricking case was laid out for you Alex.
This is literally the dumbest shit I've ever seen ANYONE do in ANY game I've EVER played.
What if I tell you, that BK has a channel that is only accessible if you're active every day in P&W, where there's lots of cat pictures? You gonna ban BK too? WE HAZ CAT PICTURZ!

Must happen at least once a year, we like traditions
I just wonder why their bank is so small
You don't see the connections?
Bank gets looted bi-weekly => it doesn't really grow a lot.
I thought that was simple logic.

This war has gone on for too long under questionable conditions.
Eat your God damn pride and take a knee. If you're unhappy. Surrender. It's not that difficult.
This isn't WW2 with far reaching implications where we have to treat you better than last time in the fear of some jackass coming in to ruin the show. The latter IS happening, over and over again, no matter if we let you peace out after initial skirmishes or 18 years later. In this game, there's 100 Hitler's for every Churchill. Because we can. You and I know that better than anyone.

War not over... *rolls eyes*
I've had about 10 wars the past 3 months. Seven of them the past two weeks.
This "war" has been over for a loooong time if you're coalition B.
Now it's just a waiting game.

Hey all,
With all the negativity and fake news coming from certain spheres, I thought that it's sometimes really good to reflect about how much fun/how enjoyable playing this game can be sometimes. With that in mind, I'm keen to hear all your stories about how you are having fun with the current state of Orbis events or maybe some of the interesting vignettes you have.
I'll start: 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 OD 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).
Cheers all!
The, literally, only reason I'm still in this game after 2½ years, is the community.
The game has so little to offer, the community so much. The wars are boring as hell. The peace time is even worse after a bit. And then, on occasion, you check the OWF and you wish your had cancer in your eyes. The 3% who march these forums like it's the only battlefield that matters are really making it alot worse for all the rest of us. Hence, I've succumbed to posting a lot of meaningless posts for them to reply to. It's been fun.
Meanwhile, someone had the lame idea to infect BK's Discord with these annoying anime emojis.
I'm a 22 city nation. Anyone want me? Only requirement is you have to have it as your main vision to kill the weebs. :<

Rose has an infra repurchaser and other bots too, so like the others said look in your own house first.
Are you saying I'm paying credits for something that Rose does free of charge?
Nice.

Whatever allowed for the current fiasco with Leo's account to occur should be prohibited. Something of that magnitude shouldn't have happened, and it should definitely never happen again.
It happened because George had admin access as head of econ in BK and when he was caught embezzling decided to be a jerk about it.
Pretty much all other users of BKNet wasn't aware of all the things you could do, as nobody had malicious intent, so never felt the need to test it. The only reason this turned out as bad as it did, was that it was Leo's account that was synced with the bank system. Had it been mine, nobody would've been able to do anything, but send resources, as I have no actual power in the alliance.
In addition; Most of the things that we, as a community playing this game, have made bots for, you could argue should already be in the game.
In short, BKN is a banking system. You can request a deposit code. When you deposit using that code, the things you deposit are entered into a bank account, while the resources are being put into the alliance bank. Just like a real bank, where the money you have in the bank aren't your physical money anymore, but still your property.
There are so many reasons that a system like that would be preferable to have in the game as a base, as it just makes for much better alliance coorperation and convenience. This shouldn't be a game where the alliances with most people online at all times have the advantages. A simple but functional banking system helps everyone.
The same goes for everything else. It's fine that the person gets attacked get a notification via mail, but ultimately, it's the alliance who kind of needs to know so they can act on it. Notification bots work with Discord or forums primarily, but a simple system that makes an in game notification (a red flag next to alliance tab for example) if you're in range could easily do much of the same.
I'm no programmer. I don't know what's possible and impossible or difficult or easy. I'm just saying that there's a fine line between having bots/scripts that improve quality of life and gaming experience and bots/scripts/hacks that give you an actual advantage, like using an auto-clicker for Baseball.
Anything that's not directly affecting the game, say autobuying deals on market, clicking baseball, automatic warfare, scouting and such. I'm fine with.
I'm also hoping that we'll see more introduced in the future to allow people to play more on the game site, instead of having radio shows, companies, news papers, etc. on third party software and pages. Would be cool if I could just get all my P&W things done in one place. More or less.

the only gaslighting I have seen is coalition A posting leaks and trying to twist around the events of the past. All I have read is Coalition B answering the same thing over and over consistently but A tries to twist
Don't use logic and reason.
Coalition A doesn't understand logic and reason.
They've even stolen BK's wartime mantra: "We're too stupid to know we're losing." <-- I've been told that so many times early on in the game. Now I started chanting it in the Discord whenever a war starts and now Coal A have stolen it from us. When both sides are too stupid to know they're losing, it's going to be a loooong game of throwing grass at stone walls.

Do not need to hack when they are dumb enough to leave the door open.
So it's OK to steal if the fruit stand is outside the shop and nobody's watching?

BK are some mighty liars as proven, LEO DID NOT GET HACKED, as he claimed, thought i would put it in caps as it seems you are hard of reading.
Sure, we can discuss the definition of what it means to get hacked.
Long story short; Someone was using a game account that didn't belong to them for malicious actions.

How about we get back on topic about how BK faked being hacked to try and get the game rolled back pre-blitz

This happened more than 24 hours after a "blitz", if you can call it that.

Feel free to look at the threads I posted for Tiberius here.
Its been said by all of your leaders, especially by Leo.
If you get logs where my names says I want you to have cancer, would you also believe that?
For all the dumbfrickery and amount of "ermagherd, these guys just don't get [irony, sarcasm, humor, too serious, not serious, etc.]" posts I see from you and your sheep, you sure do take everything as a universal truth when it benefits you the least.
Edit: And let me just point out; YES! Deletion, VM nations, alliance memberships HAVE been mentioned on multiple occasions. It's just a war stat. Nothing stops those people from just going inactive, being utterly irrelevant, until the political scene changes and they can return. It's been like that ever since I joined this game and on "both sides of the fence".
