Side note: How dare you put yourselves as one of the big powers and not even include The Common Wealth.

I honestly forgot they were in it, my bad.

This might be the worst DoW I've ever seen. I personally like it when people have a theme and make something clever. A straight-up declaration of war is kinda boring and not really fun to read, especially from a micro. Considering you tend to post stuff often, I feel like you want your alliance to get attention. Why not spice up your posts a bit then? Maybe people will tolerate em more idk

Can't redo it now, maybe on our next DOW (better kick them inactives)

I realize my sarcasm might go unnoticed, The inactives are not the reason for the DOW

[TEstleration of War.]

Good luck to the both of you! ?

I've done some basic stats, nothing individual, so if you're interested in Alliance level stats I've started compiling them here.

Damn it, you got me lol.

The real question is, should I add them to the stats or not lmfao.

Also when you do, can you send me the link, either PM in game, post in here, or send through discord, thanks. whichever is easier for you.

So your alliance is holding a multi ring? How incriminating. Please tell us more about this ring.

I actually just said the opposite

Why haven't you reported it?

I don't know what his nation name is, if he told me I forgot, soo how would I report, plus I never seen any physical proof that he went through with what he said he was going to do.

@Keelan Kyle

What is the official policy on hoarding siblings?

He brought up the subject to me, asking me if He should make multiples. (He then did) and yeah he was going to join The Illuminati, but he didnt, that was when we were smaller and in really great need of growth, but I thought about it and realized that I didnt want this to be one of THOSE alliances you know. So now we screen our members to check for multiples before we let them in, and if they do have other accounts with the same IP, like how they play at school or do have siblings, we now give them 2 weeks to get verified if they do.

A peaceful resolution to what exactly?

Feel free to PM in game me and I will tell.

Be careful what you wish for.

We do not wish for war, but we are hungry for it. We would love a peaceful resolution, but I know that is unlikely

Just now, Sketchy said:

yes

please

It is not your right to dictate how ET or it's "big brother" KT run it's affairs. That is on our behalf and your opinion does not come to the table of Governments from both ET and KT. I do not think you'd be in a positive stance about us if a member of ET Government started commanding you on how you should lead it.

That is true, but when the way you run things are so openly backwards, somebody has to say something about it. That is where we come into play. Everybody at least thinks that hoarding inactives to boost score is wrong, but we are the ones that spoke out about it, and we hope that others will follow-suit

We like to think of us as the United States in WW2, Britain (TRF) and France (TKR) are against Germany (KT), Japan (ET), and Italy (TGH). We are the new blood, that is hungry for war. We are not exhausted and therefore will be able to provide a huge boost to us and our attacking partners. We don't plan on stopping until we go bankrupt (doubtful), or until the fat lady is front and center at a broadway show in New York,  screaming her lungs out.

Think about it, the war before this,Bk and ET was The Great War. thats literally what the called WW1 before WW2. 

History repeats itself

I especially like how you've gone and named TKR as france, that's a good one lmfao

I'm glad you noticed tbh lol. Not that they are ruined or anything, but Im sure they are looking for ways out of this war by now, I'm sure its costing more than anticipated, and their members are probably getting tired of being at war. But kudos for noticing!

Don't forget to sign treaties with TKR and Co. after this war !!

No treaties with them, though maybe our similar political views will cause us to form a closer relationship.

I guess they have decided you are the new NSR and need 832 alliances to dogpile you. So in the interest of watching sheer stupidity unfold, I hereby invite every irrelevant micro everywhere to gang up and dogpile everyone else.

We despise NSR. We have personal reasons not just doing it for no reason. 

[Going To War]

The Illuminati is joining the war against Esquire Templar. I'm not sure if our stats will be tracked, but we will try to keep track of damage and stats. Our goal is to cause as much damage as possible, and we are bringing in several other micros to help us with the second wave.

[Defeat a nation permanantly]

link? or is that a sarcastic joke about how many people will quit, when in all reality it will help cut down on inactives

This has been suggested, under the heading of "how to reduce server hosting expenses to zero"

 

 

[Defeat a nation permanantly]

To make this game play more into realism and what not. We should make it to where a nation can hit 0 infrastructure, and when it does the city is deleted, and if all cities get deleted they have to restart.

that's already a thing, 14 day inactives go grey, greys don't pay taxes

But if they get attacked they turn beige, and pay taxes.

And ET is supposed to take advice from an alliance that's had leadership turmoil very publicly and had like 3-4 coups? Mate, might be best if you don't call out other alliances until yours isn't a mess.

We had 1 coup, we regained control within 24 hours, and suffered cery little damage from it. we are still a growing, powerful alliance.

[ET Needs To Kick Inactives]

As of the time of this posting, Esquire Templar has a score of 44,350.55. Of that, 10,951.24 belongs to nations that have not been active for more than a week. This is the ultimate example of hoarding inactive players to boost score. 23% of their members have been inactive. That might not seem like alot but, spread over 71 members, that is alot. That is 20 inactive players. The Illuminati is calling for them to step up and remove their inactive members. It is okay to have one or two, but 20 is unnecessary. I know there is no way to make you guys do this, but I hope maybe this will rally the support of other alliances and it will motivate you guys to listen. For now, that is all, thanks,

 

THE ILLUMINATI

Nuh uh, bad idea. Even with an exponential increase in price, changing a hardcap to a softcap is always a tremendous and dangerous balance change that can have terrible repercussions. Removing a cap that prevents an individual with arbitrary funding from doing arbitrary amounts of damage is a bad.

Could be worth a spin on the test server?

[Tie military into city count instead of pop]

We could tie approval rating into your max military, the higher your approval rating, the more people that will enlist to defend their country, the lower the approval rating, the less that would enroll to defend their country, maybe set zones, like 0-25% is half your normal max, and 26-75% is normal and 76-100% is 50% more troops than your normal max. Just an idea.

[We should be able to do unlimited espionage]

We should be able to do unlimited espionage, but each time the price increases by 50%, and people with the CIA project can be changed, and make it to where maybe the second one is the same cost, and the third one is when it starts to increase, or maybe it only increases by 25% for them. Im just throwing this out there. Please yell at me if this is bad, or give me a potato if this is a good idea @Tiber lol.
