    Planes are fine as they are, since they are expensive to replace. This puts greater emphasis on alliance-level economic planning and building up warchests.

    Planes are the second cheapest unit after soldiers, despite being the most powerful unit by far.

  2. The current system exists because it's easy to enforce, if an alliance bank sends a large amount of funds to a nation and that nation then VM's to make the funds unassailable then that's bank hiding in VM. Your suggestion would create more issues than it would solve if anybody could VM with 20bn and say it was their personal wealth. What this boils down to is that you want Alex to get rid of that simple structure in favor of a byzantine system of trying to sleuth out which exact nation the funds belong to because your individual situation would benefit from it.

    That's ridiculous, just offshore your money like a normal person.

    I would like to iterate it was one attack, even if TLE attacked first this was a stupid move that will further deteriorate GOONS image

    They put up like 100 wars in 5 minutes, this is going to enhance their reputation.

    Three separate goon government members brought the matter to TLE. First Kris, then Jazz and then finally myself. They weren't willing to resolve the situation they started, they were rude, so I issued the ultimatum. If they can't right their wrongs, we'll do it for them.

    All I wanted to know, cheers.

    For clarity; that was escalation after this:

    Okay, so let's just get this right, Militia got countered, and The Akmillands and Tritonis were also attacked by you guys as escalation in retaliation for Militia raiding a GOON? So your whole CB is one member of TLE raided one member of GOONS? On the first page didn't you say your counters were countered and TLE escalated? The only one of your counters on Militia that TLE attacked back was Monroe Dickweed who attacked Tritonis unprovoked, as far as I can see.

    TLE's problem's with controlling their members have been an issue for a while, so have fun I guess, I'm just confused why y'all are claiming they doubled down on Page 1 and then admitting to escalating it yourselves on Page 2.

    Who are you and what have you done with Coalition B? No proper coalition b soldier would refuse a free statpad buffet. I demand an immediate investigation into this man and his credentials for I fear he to be an imposter! ?

     

    Hey I'm fine with it if they're barred from producing aircraft.

  9. So Coalition A is at the point of begging admin to arbitrarily intervene and allow you to replenish your military with no possible countermeasures? We blew it up fair and square, so that would be bullshit. If you were really suggesting this as a good faith "step back" you'd have asked for unit purchases to be frozen as well.

    TKR is quite fine.  We've been steady/slightly growing in members for a while now.

    I have to disagree with you on this one Coop. Yeah TKR's member count is pretty steady, but that's because you retain vastly more Purple Diamonds as full members than every other major alliance not named Arrgh. And these don't affect the member count number, but TKR has also been adding months inactive VM'd Knightfall war dodgers back into the alliance for some reason, I guess if people look at your population using the BK stat tracker that doesn't differentiate between VM and non-VM it'd give you a boost. But I fail to see any practical benefit, you do you though.

    Let's go back to those Purple Diamonds shall we. 35 of TKR's 103 non-VM members are Purple Diamond inactive. For reference NPO has 6 and BK has 13. 34% of your members who are just doing totally fine haven't logged in for over a week. Furthermore, of the 68 members of TKR who still log into the game at least once per week, 10 of those have 0 infrastructure, which pretty much precludes them from doing anything, can't even be tax farms since many are either gray or lacking in raw resource improvements. But hey, you guys are raiding a lot right? Plenty of brave Radiants with a single ship and a day's buy of soldiers venturing out to bring loot home. Well kinda, of the 58 members of TKR that aren't in VM, have logged in within the past week, and have a total national infrastructure greater than 0 there are 21 that have no conventional military units (Soldiers, Tanks, Air, Ships) whatsoever. That brings us down to 37 members of TKR who might actually still be playing the game, I wonder how many are actually raiding? 37 might be a a small proportion, but surely this core group is killing it. Oh darn, only 20 of them are fighting any offensive wars whatsoever.

    In summation: 

    103 non-VM TKR members.

    35 of which are Purple Diamond inactive.

    68 members of TKR that aren't VM or Purple Diamond.

    10 of which have 0 infrastructure.

    58 members of TKR that aren't in VM, Purple Diamond, or ZI.

    21 of which have 0 military units.

    37 members of TKR that aren't in VM, Purple Diamond, ZI, or ZM.

    17 of which have 0 offensive wars.

    20 members of TKR actually putting in any work.

    I guess depending on your definition of "fine" TKR could still be doing fine. But I personally wouldn't call having 20 useful members in my nominally 103 member alliance "quite fine". From where I'm standing it seems like you could do for a removal of the non-contributors like KT did recently, of course that would require sacrificing that pretty 100+ members stat. You do you though.
