Ah sorry, thank you for clarifying.
I pulled timestamps on everything to get an idea of how quick Borg was able to do the airstrikes after you bought soldiers.
You bought soldiers on 12-27 10:04:31 and then Borg did the next airstrike at 10:05:13, or 42 seconds later.
You bought soldiers again on 12-28 19:09:00 and then Borg did the next airstrike at 19:09:27, or 27 seconds later.
I'm inclined to believe Borg's story that it's not a script but rather a notification service because I imagine if you were going to write a script to do the attacks, you'd want it to work pretty much right away rather than 27-42 seconds later. IMO that is probably enough time to do an attack before he airstriked you if you were really quick about it (not blaming you, just saying that the optimal script would eliminate that possibility.)
Alright, thanks!

Why are half the people here nominating their own alliances? Sure, it's impossible to get rid of bias, but at least make an attempt to be unbiased?

I have a timestamp of 2021-01-02 10:08:04 on you buying soldiers. I don't even see a war between you and Borg that he could have airstriked you in.
The next airstrike you defended against happened at 2021-01-02 11:14:43, which is over an hour later.
The war in question is slightly older than that, it was over on 2020-12-29

Depends how much time he's either at his phone or at his computer. If he's on a lot, the "incredibly unlikely" might actually go to "likely". Having been struck twice, I can see why you might assume that he did it by bot, but people should be presumed innocent until proven guilty and I think it's quite likely that he's just close to a cell phone or computer a lot of the time.
Close enough to attack in 5 seconds? Suuurrree...
People spend a third of their 24 hours sleeping anyway. Plus, I'm not calling for Borg to be punished, I'm merely calling for the issue to be investigated. Also, this is a no discussion forum, and if you have nothing to add for either side, it would be appreciated if you don't comment here.

I would question the fair play in this instance too, to be frank this is akin to walking a tightrope with blades underneath instead of a net as far as cheating goes.. @Alex
To be frank, a lot many people/alliances have similar tools. However, the reaction times naturally vary due to real life human limitations, from anything between a few minutes to several hours. So much so, I have NEVER been sniped while buying units at a time separate from the day change, in all my years of playing Politics & War.
Thus, I was naturally intrigued when my units were sniped away almost immediately after creation, especially since the buy time was random.
It was possible to spy away nukes and missiles immediately after creation earlier, due to the large volume of players who are in an alliance (at least one guy might be online to do the sniping).
However, when it comes to sniping units, only Borg can do it alone, and it's very unlikely for them to be alert and online at any random time I buy my units.

Hi. I have alerts, locutus checks every 30s. I still perform the attacks myself.
The alerts part isn't really problematic. The problematic part is the reaction times to said alerts. Unless you are awake and on the war page 24/7. Which, like I said, is unlikely.

There were two instances of botting. In the first case, I had purchased soldiers immediately after my day change, only for them to be airstriked away within the span of a few seconds. I assumed this incident to be alertness on the part of my opponent, since it's possible to find out the daily buy time of a nation, and stalk their nation/war page during that time, and snipe a buy immediately after it's made.
In the second case, I, careful after my first sniping experience, purchased my units at a random time, several hours after my day change. And this time too, they were sniped away within the span of a few seconds.
Even if someone was to code a tool which refreshes the API every few seconds, and gives you an alert whenever your opponent makes a buy, it still begs the question, how did the attacks happen in the span of a few seconds?
While alertness can be a viable reason for the first case, the chances of alertness being the reason for the second attack are naturally microscopic.
All the same, I am aware that my evidence is completely circumstantial, and while it's extremely likely that my opponent used a bot to fight for them, it has not been proven beyond doubt.
Thus, I would request @Alex to investigate this issue and take appropriate action to ensure that humans, and not bots, fight wars.

Went great for me, #1 on wars fought, #6 or #7 on net damage and pretty sure I'm in the top 25 on other metrics. Was a fun war.

A bunch of nuke rogues slapping around noobs is not a war. Amount of damage and length have also been established as irrelevant to what makes a war.
Who established that, when was that established and on what basis? A bunch of landlubbers beating each other for a month and then signing long-ass NAPs to build upto 3k infra is war?

This is why I'm not including the war against Argh as a serious war
Suurrreee... a war with 40bn damages and that lasted longer than the global isn't a serious war 😛
2 hours ago, Phoenyx said:I believe the reasons behind it are fairly straightforward.
Might it be because we chose to be straightforward? Why do you think is everyone attacking Pantheon all of a sudden, for example? 🙃
But I agree with @Redarmy. You have this schoolboy vibe of being the last one to reply in a conversation, so I will let you have the last word in this thread and engage no more.

You're an Alliance of pirates Isjaki. I have heard a few nations in your Alliance don't attack other Alliances, but it seems they are few and far between. Essentially, Nations in your Alliance attack who they feel like attacking, when they feel like attacking. Perhaps if you had a list of conscientious objectors in your Alliance who don't attack other Alliances for raiding purposes, they could have spared those ones.
Given these realities, I understand why another Alliance, when faced with attacks from yours, would band together and attack your entire Alliance. Sure, many of your nations may not have attacked their Alliance, but they could have, if they so chose. Your Alliance has made it clear that they're not interested in NAPs after all.
There is a difference between raiding other alliances and seeking out wars with other alliances. Not one that I expect you to understand, though.

My mistake, I should have clarified- I meant wars where both sides think they are acting in self defense.
They did it to not look like warmongers.
2 hours ago, Phoenyx said:I think we can agree that Arrgh wasn't attacking said Swamp nation in self defense :-p.
No we can't agree on that. Arrgh raids everyone and expects counters upon said pirate, not Arrgh nations at random. Ampersand escalated the war by hitting random uninvolved nations, and we merely retaliated in kind. Arrgh was the victim, not the agressor.

The last serious Orbis war I observed? We raided someone who didn't like being raided. Sparked off a war between Arrgh and Swamp, with around $40b in total damages.
It's a game and we war because of shits and giggles.
