[Why Politics and War is Dead During Peace (testing thread)]

 

[Terminal NAPS and other Political Malfeasance]

AUTHORED BY THE EVER ELOQUENT SUPERFLOUS LYSANDER THE GREAT

This is disgraceful.

Y’all, c’mon.

We’ve watered down peace terms to white peace and a NAP. Sometimes wars are the result of political maneuvering - it’s clear this NAP was - but very little of that is made public. Some of the recently used “CBs” have made it clear that the war itself is because of something, but the reasoning is increasingly hidden from the public.

Most players no longer even know what they’re fighting a war for when one kicks off. Spectators have no clue what the true reasoning is unless they’re in-the-know. And once the war finishes, the terms are white peace (or maybe a surrender) and a NAP. 

We’re aware most of you don’t care about this opinion. We just couldn’t sit around and watch a good number of our friends, within and without the alliance, continue to lose interest in the game because the talking heads don’t care about the overall game. This post isn’t about “politics” - it’s about pointing out that this is just… uncool.

The mergers we’ve seen reduce the number of political actors. That’s not to say they’re not a valid strategy, but so is signing a forever NAP and just never fighting again. In fact, never fighting again is the optimal strategy. I’m sure some parts of the game are working hard on that goal, but the point is that, as players, we are partially responsible for the health of the game & its political environment. 

I hope this is the only time we see this happen, but I’m not going to pretend that’s what I expect. First it was 3.5 months for one day. Now it’s an extra 3 months for no time. 

Maybe these thoughts mean nothing. But we’re not the only ones having them.

Yours truly,

House Stark

Watch out Sketchy, @Darth Ataxia is slowly but surely writing his comeback.

I’ll be operating on the GRRM schedule for that one.

Ive said it before and I will say it again; if you use ChatGPT to write your stuff whether it be treaties, DoWs, or other meaningful posts, you suck (and most likely suck at writing). It ultimately removes another layer from actual politicking and dissociates more gameplay.

House Stark thanks Carthago for their unexpected support in favor of Lysander and we look forward to Carthago troops delivering him safe and unharmed back to Winterfell where he belongs.

(to be fair, this is the most action the game has seen in weeks)

Is a four month NAP not exciting enough?

[#Flexit]

Wait a minute, hegemonies don’t operate like this. What are you doing, Sketchy?

[Syndicate, INC Withdraws From Business Office in Uritithu]

Good. Why not just tag into the coalition next time as Aurora and CTO did? It would have accomplished the same thing and not lead to as much pushback from the alleged FL hegemony.

This is one situation I would have supported ChatGPT writing the post.
