ASM definitely should take action against this individual. No alliance should be sheltering such characters within their ranks.

Take care mate, I hope the ones abusing you are punished.

Smh guys this game is politics and war not kind of chess that we have to shake hands after. Rivalries and grudges is part of the game, we can't have game with good side only, that will get boring quickly. There should be a good side and bad side (and of course everyone will think they are the good ones)
Rivalries and grudges shouldn't be such that you wish to drive your enemies away from the game. It's just a game, exactly, and we can have competition in good faith with pixel sacrifices in regular intervals, without it becoming a Sith vs Jedi thing. We could learn from the foreign policy of Arrgh.

Let's be honest, NPO's Last Time was long, toxic and we are all glad that the war is finally over. But there is nothing that prevents such a thing from happening again, and thus, I thought about drafting a set of principles that alliances in Orbis agree to abide by, to ensure that such a thing doesn't happen anymore. The idea is not to kill wars, but rather, to avoid toxic permawar like situations, as opposed to fun, non-toxic pixel burning. These are the pointers I came up with, ya'll can discuss those, as well as add points of your own, and then I would request all alliances to become signatories and ratify this in their own alliance (Kinda like UN treaties irl, but not quite UN)
- All signatories agree that they will never participate in any activity intending to 'kill' the game. Killing the game is defined as any activity which tries to drive away players from this game, and also prevents new players from joining this game. This includes, but isn't limited to, permawar in an effort to drive members of the losing side out of the game and mass-spamming false reviews about the game.
- All signatories to this treaty agree that they will never cheat themselves, nor will they shelter cheaters. They further agree to fully cooperate with the game administration to investigate/prevent cheating.
- All signatories agree to pursue peace negotiations in good faith. They further agree that the peace terms will involve only the game in it's scope, and no term shall involve an irl activity (whether it be something serious like eating dog food or something more innocuous like writing essays).
- All signatories (if/when they are on the winning side) agree that they will reveal all the peace terms upfront to the alliances on the losing side.
- All signatories agree not to attack the protectorates of hostile alliances, unless the said protectorate is aiding the said alliance's war effort.
- All signatories agree to not bully smaller players/alliances.
- All signatories agree to not develop grudges, and pursue friendly and respectful relations with alliances on the opposing side, after the war is over.

Good luck on the rebuild.

Congrats on peace, we wish you a pleasant rebuild.

All of these people shitting themselves with 'the game is dead now' should lead by example and delete their nations first. ?
I might differ on that. The conduct of the leadership of Coalition B, over the past few months, has been, yes, less than exceptional, but the community shouldn't suffer because of that.

Completely echo your sentiments, @Changeup. I am only low government in Coalition A, but I would like to appeal to our leadership to be more reasonable and mature than what we experienced in Coalition B.
Several alliances and players on the other side have been around for a long time now and it would be a shame for them to leave the game over this.
Long live Orbis!

Funny given by the reactions on my post, and the replies, it suggests that GOONS are happy to see longtime members leave the game. And we are supposed to bear with the fiction that "tHeY cArE aBoUt tEh cOmMuNiTy"

It has been a fun 2 years in this game, guys, but I realized that I can't really deal with the GOONS virtue signalling, and neither can I deal with @Alex being clearly biased and appeasing them any further.
It's a sad day for me, as I really enjoy playing this game (have played it on and off since 2015), but well, I outlined my reasons.
@Quichwe10 thanks for taking me into TFP, I deeply appreciate it.
@Harry Flashman, @Kaz, @Robert Jordan you guys were some of the best friends I made in this game, thanks for sticking around.
@The Royalist I really enjoyed my time in Empyrea, thanks for that.
@CitrusK maybe I will have to raid you some other time ?
To the rest of the PnW community, adios amigos. I am looking forward to @MinesomeMC's upcoming game, Global Regimes, wherein he implements the changes that have been suggested to Alex for long (but he won't implement) and hopefully moderation is more fair and doesn't fall down the SJW rabbit hole.
Like I said, I did enjoy playing this game, I shall continue to remain active on the PnW and TFP discord channels, and if, for once, Alex actually decides to make this game and moderation fair for everyone, I would be glad to join back.
Regards,
Isjaki

I don't get the logic of people thinking that they deserve more payout just because they can put in 6+ hours a day. Doesn't the intellectual effort of planning and buying cities and infra count? And what about the rest of us, players who have college/jobs etc? Coalition B was an example.
2 hours ago, Light said:With how baseball has already been nerfed, what you're suggesting right now would end up killing the game for good. There'd be no point in playing it after that.
Also, by that second point, we should also nerf trading as well, because people can and do put hours of their time into that, and it earns far more than baseball can in less time. Especially after the nerfs to baseball Alex implemented previously.
As for your third point, what's stopping Coalition A from doing the same? Absolutely nothing, they can play baseball as well if they choose to.
For trading, money is not generated from thin air, unlike baseball.
As for coalition A, plenty of people do it anyway, apart from those who can't due to real life time constraints.

Just now, Akuryo said:
Just remove it.
According to the 'baseball community' in the thread a while ago, nobody would play if they couldn't make huge primary income off it. If that's truly the case, than just yank it right out and put it in the same dumpster with keno and dice.
Well I don't mind it merely as an entertainer, a distraction from the rest of the game, but it should definitely lose it's economic utility.

Let's be honest, baseball should be nerfed further. Why? I offer 3 reasons.
1) It's not realism. I am yet to see a single nation in real life which earns more from a sports team than it's actual cities and infrastructure.
2) It's unfair. Players who have regular jobs, college, school etc should be able to compete on the game on a fair basis, based on their diplomatic, financial and military skills alone, without relying on baseball. It's discriminatory against players who can't put in 6 hours a day. A c25 with a job shouldn't be making less than a c5 who clicks 6 hours a day.
3) It interferes with the rest of the game. Global war 14 has the Coalition A alliances militarily defeated, and while they hope that Coalition B coffers run dry, to aid in the peace negotiating process, Coalition B has the option to simply spam baseball (and many do the same), to generate money out of thin air for the war effort. I might add there has been a precedent for Alex preventing this sort of alliance-dominating tactics in game, when he nerfed treasures due to the formation of treasure island.
Thus, I would propose that baseball payouts be slashed to 5% of their current value, to reflect their worth better upon the game.

Thanks for the report, same issue.

All the best to both of you.

We could probably have a project called research center in game. The research center project would allow us to research upgrades to our troops and equipment, making them more effective while keeping the base price same.
1st Gen: No bonus
2nd Gen: 10% stronger
3rd Gen: 20% stronger
4th Gen: 30% stronger
5th Gen: 40% stronger
6th Gen: 50% stronger
The price of each upgrade would go on increasing of course, keeping in accordance with the principle of diminishing returns. I believe such a project would make combat much more interesting.

One option is just to remove "beige" as a color, and just add a different way of displaying protection, i.e. "Protected Status" or something.
Yes I think that would be a good change too.

I think it's still worth discussion. While it's true that nations do get moved to gray after going inactive, which removes the ability for them to be taxed, there is an ongoing issue wherein some alliances are having their inactive members intentionally attacked and beiged, allowing them to be taxed again.
I think this should end for the same reasons you outlined in your original post.
Indeed so. A ban on inactivity in general (preventing purple nations from being taxed) would be a better way to end this practice than just being not able to tax gray nations.

If I start an exclusive alliance with some friends from college, you don't need to pay tuition to join, you're just not invited.
Bad analogy, isn't it?
1. It has been clearly established that GOONS uses Something Awful.
2. It has also been clearly established, from Bluetarch's comments, that a membership of Something Awful is essential for being a part of GOONS.
You guys claim that a membership of something awful isn't a criteria for being a member of GOONS. Well, I am inclined to say you are just lying, since you have no evidence to back it up.
As for you guys not being related to Something Awful, who knows if you are? We don't doxx people, no one is aware of anyone else's real life identity. Maybe you guys are stakeholders in SA in some form or the other, and are lying about it. That would explain Bluetarch's comments.

Possible multis
in Game Reports

What made me raise my eyebrows-
1. Both nations run offshore banks
2. Bench's offshore, called 'Da Offshore' literally says 'Multi offshore' in it's description
3. On 03/17/2020, both nations executed a 'sweetheart deal' with each other. Sweetheart deals were also executed on 03/15/2020, 03/13/2020, 03/12/2020 (twice) and many, many more times throughout the history of both the nations.
I am confident that looking into their alliance bank logs will reveal a much more clear picture, although I think I have presented enough evidence for both of them to be banned.
