  3. I just want to point out some things about British support for the South since it seems to be a popular theme on "why" the South could've won. Most support in the UK for the Confederacy was with the high members of the British political and social establishment, the common people in general favored the Union. Lincoln even sent letters of thanks to groups of the working class that voiced their support for the Union. Besides this the US sent threats to the UK (mostly empty given the fact that our focus was here at home) but it helped cause the Brits to think twice. He sent the grandson of John Adams and son of John Quincy Adams (both former presidents) to the UK as ambassador. His task was solely to make the British government understand that they had colonies and possessions all over the globe and the US was growing in power, this was mainly the result of the UK supplying the Confederates with 2 warships. It didn't however stop them from supplying scores of blockade runners as that wasn't seen as a breech in neutrality. In the end overall popular support for the Union and the risk of all-out war with the United States, including... "an invasion of Canada, a full scale American attack on British shipping interests worldwide, an end to American grain shipments that were providing a large part of the British food supply, and an end to British sales of machinery and supplies to the US", were enough to keep the Brits out of it. It is also worth noting the British only considered joining if the French (who were engaged in Mexico) joined, the British themselves also had concerns over the rise of Napoleon III and his imperialist ambitions.
  4. Suicide bombs are a defense? So why do they do it in countries where the national religion is Islam? Or why do they bomb Hindu and Buddhist temples? It's not about "defense", it's about spreading fear...convert or else. I just can't understand any of the thinking put into your post. Terrorists attack all those countries you listed because they don't govern using strict Islamic laws. They murder people simply because they have differing beliefs or do things that are "offensive". I don't believe Islam is bad, but there are people that do bad things in it's name. And yes, Shia Muslims are Muslims.

  6. I have still yet to understand what you would do with any alliances you bought...
  7. Emmad

    Desertion

    Last two were applicants, ~3 player self deletions.
  8. I would have to choose Syndicate...Noir a close second.
  9. Good luck with your alliance, hope it takes off.
  10. That's good. You know...just waiting out the war!
  11. I predict Kastor will be thrown out of yet another alliance. How you been Kazy?
  12. Good for you Scarfalot, don't be temped by the charms of the sand people.
  13. I am also willing to accept a warning to support Mad Max. I had voiced concern over terrorist related accounts a long while ago and was told as long as they do not try recruiting people for terrorist activities and what not they will be left alone. Given the things that groups like the Taliban and ISIS do how can we justify banning Nazi things but not them? I have also seen some symbols used by terrorists defended by players on here because the symbols have "simply been corrupted by certain individuals". Couldn't the same be said for the Nazis use of the swastika? An innocent symbol corrupted by bad people, if we ban that how can we not ban the use of symbols used by terrorist organizations?
  14. Same with me, according to the log the last was... 2015-08-30 08:00:02 Then this just recently popped up... 2015-08-30 14:07:09 Two turns of revenue lost?
  15. Mine got reset but are going back up again from games, so whatever he did didn't fix it.
  16. I don't really mind what happens because at this point for me the 10k doesn't do much...but I agree there should be some sort of change. Perhaps mix up like $10-25k and a low number (10-20) of some random resource progressing for 7 days. On the 7th you get like 100k. I honestly think the daily bonus should be more of an incentive for smaller nations to come back, not the larger nations.
  17. Honestly don't care for the idea. I can't see how it would change things much from how they are with the current setup. If anything it's a double-edged sword because it gives the enemy additional time to rebuild unless you can dedicate war efforts on them. Keeping people at war would still be the best option.
  18. I know it was suggested on one of the earlier posts but I never saw a response...what was your position on putting a limit on home games in a row? I would like to see it done so people can't host 30 in a row without playing a single away game.
