    SomethingAwful.com is not owned by me nor anyone else in PnW GOONS. What someone does to try and get into our alliance is up to them.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Something_Awful

    Bluetarch's comments in op clearly indicate otherwise. They clearly establish that membership of Something Awful is intrinsic to be a member of GOONS in PnW. And that membership costs $9.95

    Yep, totally not a scam.

    Suggested modification on alliance taxation system

    in Game Suggestions

    Posted

    Recently, there has been a huge influx of new nations into the game, and while this should generally be considered a positive news, most of these nations are inactive nations that are being used as tax farms by various alliances.

    Alex himself makes three great points against having inactives in alliances (linked at the end if this post). I would like to add further arguments over this, and while removing inactives seems a bit harsh, we certainly can agree upon modifications in taxation.

    1. We all dislike inactives. And alliances keeping them around for taxes. There is also a precedence for this principle in game, in making it impossible for gray nations to be taxed.

    2. No community interaction. Most if not all of these tax farm nations are inactive and contribute no value to the community in any tangible way.

    3. It's unethical. Major alliances like TKR and NPO have the communities and resources large enough to bring in nations that serve as tax farms. This is unfair to micro alliances. 'Winning' the game, per se, should be based on how skilled one is, and not how many tax farms can one pull in. There is a precedence in game for 'fair' behaviour too, as treasure bonuses were nerfed once Treasure Island was formed.

    While Alex already deletes nations for inactivity, after a certain point of time, in keeping with the principles espoused in point 1 and point 2, it doesn't quite solve the issue raised in point 3. 

    Thus, I would like to propose a modification that would ensure that purple nations (nations inactive for 7+ days in game) cannot be taxed by alliances. I belive this will have the added advantage of incentizing raiding, and solve most issues raised here.

    This is the post by Alex btw-

    Communist imagery and nation name

    in Game Reports

    Posted

    Nation link: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=182088

    Nation name: Soviet Canuckistan

    Leader name: Dommy Touglas

    Communism is ideology that has lead to an estimated 100 million deaths worldwide. Communist imagery is banned in Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Latvia, Indonesia and Ukraine. It offends refined sensitivities that we allow such highly objectionable content within our community.

    Inappropriate leader name

    in Game Reports

    Posted

    Nation Link: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=177013

    Leader Name: Comarade Marx

    Nation Name: Greater Goon Syndicate

    The leader name, Comrade Marx, refers to Karl Marx whose ideas of Marxism laid the grounds for the policy of Marxism-Leninism in the USSR and Maoism in China. Marx planted the intellectual seeds of an ideology that lead to 20 million deaths in USSR and 65 million in China. Surely, it does offend civil sensibilities, to have such players within the game community.

    Inappropriate nation name and leader name

    in Game Reports

    Posted

    Nation link: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=183556

    Nation name: The Soviet Socialist Republic of Compton Cafeteria

    Leader name: Vladlena Lenina

    Nation name is a reference to Soviet Union which has been one of the most autocratic and evil regimes ever, with mass deportations of ethnic minorities, secret police operations and gulag accounting for no fewer than 20 million deaths. Leader name is a reference to Vladimir Lenin, who was responsible for the deaths of at least 100,000 people in the red purge.

    Ableist Slur in Nation Description

    in Game Reports

    Stating someone has a low IQ is a factual observation on the Intelligence Quotient of an individual, which is not a call for discrimination against them. 

     

    If I say 'Person XYZ has low IQ' then I'm making a decision based on their intelligence quotient and I'm not discriminating against them.

    And having observed this thread, I think you have low IQ. Nothing to be ashamed of, though.
