Your goal is to spout bullshit Nobody said it was irrelevant. They judged it as part of T$, because it is, and said they felt it was lackluster, which probably was part of why T$ was ranked it was for them, and would have been higher if they felt the training division of T$ performed better on their own list of checks. This is not complicated to follow, at all. So on top of having no idea how a military department works or how wars actually work, we'll add "attacking strawmen" to the list. I'll also be deducting points from myself, at somepoint i managed to get myself confused between the two frickin identical flags and mistook E$ for T$ in a quick glance lookup. Goodjob me, shooting yourself no in the foot, but each toe individually. When does @Radoje just casually explain why he finds it lackluster. Because Itachi here in all his brilliance never got the idea to ask the guy WHY he thinks that, but instead go on a tirade. Might as well help him along, it'll take forever under his own power at this point.

Yep, it is. Everyone else is more competent and less full of themselves. How the hell did you get in charge of anything again? Like, seriously, my primary skills are Milcom, and then Econ, but i'm not a dipshit who doesn't know how FA or IA works even if i don't manage them so well. You don't even seem to get the basic fundamental understanding part right. Maybe that's just me, with my fancy shmancy high expectations of high gov to at least understand how other departments function so they can properly work with each other. Nobody with any clue on how Military Affairs works would peddle the hogshit you are right now. Honestly, what even is your job, your duties?

ur an otter

So... you're literally comparing ET's unexpected stellar performance against unbeatable odds in a full-scale war between major AA's... To E$, lead by veterans from T$, stomping out micros run by clueless noobs? Oh, and Oblivion, who didn't bother fighting back and were countered by 10 total people they were such a push over. Somebody call security and get this man the frick outta here, these jokes ain't even funny. No comedy club would stay in business for more than 10 minutes with an act like this. Yeah, it counts as experience with the war mechanics, but let's not pretend for a second that if we put ET against E$ that ET wouldn't have the advantage. They didn't just fight crappy micros and come out looking like badasses. They frought frickin TKR, TCW and TRF, while their parent aa and it's ally got curbstomped, and came out looking like badasses. Those aren't the same things. What is essentially organized raiding is not the same as an actual war, while organized raiding will make a noob function better than one who didn't go through that, the ET graduates would gut them like fish, on an experience basis. Also, like, every major alliance stabs micros to death with their noobs for raiding practice. You're not special. Now, please, an ACTUAL WAR, if you would. You can't, cause no such thing has happened.

Be careful if the snake says no though. You might go to retrieve Princess Kastor only to find they're in a different corporate office. No,you're heated, and you're making the fellow gov of your alliance look foolish for putting you in your position, because you're making that big a fool of yourself. You're free to address criticism with a bit of tact, and calm reasoning aside from "utter bullshit" if you want, but throw this whiny rage party where you act like a petulant teenager who swears they know better above all others, and you will be suitably dumped on by numerous people. As is happening now. The doctor hereby suggests a lengthy course of "Step back, chill the frick out, and see where you don fooled it up.", after which time you should see an improvement in your interactions with people who disagree with you. Show me objective, factual proof that Radoje's opinion is wrong. Use logic and reasoning. All i see here is rage-filled sperging from a guy who used to be gov of E$, one of the leaders actually. I remember you countering Atrom back when MAGE was around, you transferred to T$ proper recently. Especially given no one else from E$ or T$ is so upset or offended, it seems mostly like it's just you being upset that anyone could find what is, at least partially your work, to be subpar and lacking in their view. A reasonable person would ask for details on the criticism and act accordingly. Instead, you act like a child with an elitist pseudo-intellectual streak. You do a disservice to your alliance by acting like this. Also, for the record, E$ has never been in a war. ET has and, infact, they performed very well. So well that KT ceased the project because, according to them "ET had served it's purpose" that purpose being to find, build up, train, and give experience to players that will make the final cut for KT. In that sense i'd say ET was actually very successful, it did exactly as it was intended to do. The burden of proof is on you, don't be so arrogant, you're not particularly smart or charming, lil sunshine. And of course, as a final note, that is Radoje's opinion, not mine. I don't know much about how E$ functions, all i know is that i consider T$ to, as others do, be high quality, and so i come to expect any subsidiary alliance to them will be the same. Your conduct makes me wonder though, considering your former position there.

I see that you have no goddamn clue what an opinion is. Not sure how you don't know what an opinion is, or what subjectivity is, or how saying something is subjective is the same as saying it varies by opinion. I guess T$ should hire Kastor to give all their prospective gov his frickin IQ test.

If it weren't for you NG, nobody would even bother rolling Acadia. We'd forget they were even there. You are a gem.

inb4 shifty does all of this to hide his own farms.

Shit i'm being figured out! Well, at least i proved that antisocial behavior grows faster than than all that friendship garbage i guess. Teach the children in your schools, the glorious saga and rise to power of Komiko shall inspire a new generation to selfishly frick over others until only one remains. :^)

Is 11 months and 20 cities really that crazy? I mean, shifty, i just topped 6 months today and i'm at 18.

You have shown me the true path, wise bird. The only path to legends is that of memes. All others are heretics, whose efforts shall fall by the wayside. The point is - don't play the relevancy game. There's easily 20 people who could pop in any second and i go from winner to loser, instantly, with no recourse, no counter argument. If you start basing what other people are allowed to say about you based on their 'relevancy' what happens if someone greater does the same to you? It's a pointless game where, in the end, nobody wins, and everybody looks stupid. My original statement wasn't talking about HS's relevancy, but when it became about mine, i hit theirs. Just stop basing the legitimacy of criticisms on 'relevancy', there's always someone above you, and you will always lose.

I could ask you the same. Alot of people say this to be some sort of burn, i guess? In the short-ish time ive been playing this game in a capacity greater than a drone, i've been gov in a major alliance, which i eventually couped and robbed. I hid in a micro and helped build it because i trusted the leaders, one left, than the other brokedown, in part my fault as well. A failed merger crippled the aa more when those left, resulting in coup #2 and my second acquisition of a bank. During my time in the micro, i even raided part of CS's offshore bank during Ayyslamic crusade, helping put another aa down. This course of events has not only lead directly as a significant contributing factor to the sort of revival Pantheon is having under Fist, by making it's foundations so weak he could waltz in. This revival is no a key part ins T$ return to the light, and my actions taken in the way they were have only strengthened the foundations for the future death of a titan. Nobody stays #1 forever, i guess. And to top it all off, instead of hugging my newfound pixels, i joined the only alliance with a greater guarantee of destroying them than any other aa that is not Arrgh. So, tell me, who are you? And infact, who the hell is your alliance? You've fought what, one major war - or war at all, as far as i know? Sure, i haven't started one yet, but at somepoint, everything i've done will be just one group of clouds in a horrific typhoon bound for somebody's shores. What's pathetic here is your attempt to play the relevancy game, while your entire alliance struggles to outpace a single person in relevance. When people speak your alliance's name they go "Didn't they fight in that one war?"and then 10 seconds later somebody mentions how their allies in it lamented about their performance. Mine comes with a shortlist, and then everyone remarking that my only redeeming quality is that i cause crap to happen on a regular basis. I checked the wiki, there's two other 'wars' against Arrgh. You don't war arrgh, you just counter them. They're basically in perma-war with everyone. Call me back when your alliance is more relevant than i am. I'm not even that big not yet. Partisan is still leagues above me, and someone could easily argue Kastor is still above me too. I'm basically the groundfloor boss in a 30 floor dungeon and you can't get past me. God forbid the other floors, you'd never survive the Hippo Khan floor. What do you go around talking for? Tell me more than one thing your entire alliance has done that had any significant far-reaching impact. Cause all i see - and to quote whoever that guy was as TKR's FA tryina treaty NPO a while back, "Just a bunch of perennial actors". Alright, that's enough ego-stroking for a month, maybe two. Possibly three. I'm supposed to be an ego-less depressant, so this was weird. I do like ranting though, relieves stress, so thanks for that. Place your bets on the downvotes, guys. The snake is far more forgiving than i am, then. When a solo actor starts outperforming a whole troop, i can't help but wonder.

we will when the person telling us this didn't just tiptoe around lulzily slapping a micro because HS would get all whiny and HS is for some reason i can't possibly understand tied to T$.

smh stop whining about BK and just blitz them @Prefonteen

BK tends to do that. Back when dragonstone was a thing, and during ADM's time, a member of DS raided ADM. ADM countered, the DS member called BK, and BK came after us. Poor TKR had to sit there going "WHAT THE F*** MAN" until BK got a sense of reason and stopped.

Clearly Parti has been waiting so he can bankroll KT and TGH as reinforcements :^)

Hah, just an example. I know you in particular would fight it out, but in the example given, the only thing that'd save you is if another big alliance felt like being an anti-bully ranger.

Shoulda stayed in character, you say less stupid crap. Protectorates aren't what keep the game alive. That's rubbish to anybody with a clue how actual FA and political strategy works. There's an old saying, and it's true - TEst is the ultimate example of it; Everyone has an ODP with everyone. If protectorates ceased being a thing, all that would happen is that needless micros not worth actually fighting to protect would die. If somebody goes knocking on GodFury's door there, say it's Pantheon for example, all it takes is GF being friendly with big alliance who figures "yanno what, frick pantheon and their bullying.", and then it's either back down or a big war. Protectorates are literal cancer. ODPs and ODoAP's are also worthless trash. The latter should be removed, and replaced with a treaty that signifies what anyone signing them actually means. Call it a friendship treaty, cause that's all either of those means. Protectorates don't need to exist because everyone has an ODoAP with everyone. I'd prefer a world where wars ended in actual demands instead of white peace. I'm sure someone will get all spooked over the though of billions being demanded. But really, i'd want it just to force people to get rid of the actual paper protectorate trail. And, this ignores micros without big protectorates who still exist for months without being erased and annihilated. Just ask @Ukunaka for proof. It also further ignores that micros aren't the lifeblood of the game. Most nations aren't in alliances, period. Most of them are inactive, actually. Of the nations in alliances, most are in alliances that are not micros. At worst, they're minor powers, barely strong enough to take their own protectorates on. This list goes as far down as TUE at #33, who recently was passed by their now ex-protectorate Animation Domination - at least in score. Alot of people might still, and do think of TUE as a micro, and in some ways they are, when comparing to, say, BK. Compared to actual micros though, powers even lesser and more lacking, is when you realize that in all honesty, TUE is just a minor power, same with most of it's blocmates, actually. These alliances, these minor, to major, to great, to hegemonic (*cough* TKR *cough*) powers are what make the game. Most active players are in an alliance, and most of those are in alliances that are at worst, on terms of TUE. TUE is no powerhouse, but it sure as hell isn't United Socialist Nations at #50. So please, off yer high horse, mate. You aren't that important, or necessary, in just being a micro. Your existence is not detrimental, but nor is it particularly beneficial. That's what being a micro IS ABOUT - it's being irrelevant, neither good nor bad, just there, even if no one cares; and no one does. Because the majority of active people, who do, or try to do anything, aren't in micros. As for spheres, those aren't going anywhere. It's just with Syndisphere making a comeback these days it seems, IQ still kicking, and TKR with it's own little enclave, they need to remain as i stated them. Separate. Work together, sure, but always separate. Three factions is more interesting than 2, and hopefully KT/TGH can find a way to make it a real 4-way.

i just assume most of UPN is potato batteries running a bot program tbh

>wars >less destructive Do you even know what a war is, game or otherwise? Here's the optimistic vision of what happens here. Temporary chaos as alliances unify their land, and then stagnation even greater than before. This ignoring the idiotic implications for trading, this game is based in the modern world. Anyone can trade with anyone anywhere regardless of distance. Why would literally anybody want that.

Yes, excellent idea, lets make even less incentive for wars to happen. /s

no its not.

>peaceful GTFO REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Show us where they're wrong.
