    I’ll take the under.  Kev creates another AA within 5 months.

    (Honestly this is impressive with how quick he makes AAs and they get recruited quickly)

    Interesting take, would love to know how you came to that conclusion - Soup Kitchen evolved into an alliance that is still going (5 years later). Paradise lasted over a year and was a top tier alliance before that monster @Sketchy decided to eat Cata.

    You must get your news from some of the false news outlets and corrupt information hubs that are plaguing Orbis. Fear not! We are here to set the Truth free!

    [Statement] A Bad Joke

    I'm loving the public spin to try and make these initial terms to be discussed look as unreasonable as possible. Props to you guys for going the route of swaying public opinion instead of coming to the negotiation table, kind of like how it kickstarted this entire debacle when you approached us with an offer then revoked it and gave us an insulting one without any evidence backing it months later after taking any form of negotiation off the table. The money is solely an attempt at a formal dissolution of the bank at the original numbers provided to us, which was expected to be negotiated. The scar of NpO has everyone jittery whenever "reparations" are brought up despite the fact this whole war was kicked off due to us not coming to a resolution over the payment to HS. It isn't some cruel punishment but a reconciliation of accounts.

    The food clause can be argued, but was added due to the prevalence of availability of food and would help the long-term pricing due to supply/demand. The rest are meme clauses. 

    I can assure you that no one in the history of Orbis has ever been ‘jittery’ at the thought of NpO.

    UPN was actually the first alliance to reach out and protect my original AA in PnW and I appreciate you guys. You often make my list because I remember the positive legacy your group possesses.

    The thing people often miss with a good "legacy" is that it doesn't have to be over or be the defining piece of your story. UPN has great tiering and 50+ members, Cora is a great person with good activity, you've been in UPN since before some players here were born. Even with Matt2004 dragging you down with his Britishness, I believe UPN can be great again.

    Purple has always been for lovers, and I hope you guys make a big turnaround in Q3 2023.

    Of course Alt has been in UPN for a long time…he made it :P

    Building a lasting community with people you like that stands the test of time is its own kind of legacy, irrespective of wins and losses.

    You can have the community without having the in-game AA 🤷‍♂️ If you’re gonna do an in-game AA, at least play the game. And if you’re not, don’t whine that others are ‘toxic’ as an attempt to justify objectively sucking at the game. (‘You’ isn’t directed at anyone specific) It’s ***Politics*** and War, there is going to be shade thrown. If there wasn’t, then the “politics” of the game would be a lot like how these shlubs are playing and would likely lead to the death of the game 🤷‍♂️ 

    Spice can be nice.

    The trouble is that you consider us bad because we chose not to engaged the game in the same way you do. We provide a community for like minded people who enjoy our play style. I'm not going to change that because you don't like playing that style. There is no "right way to play". Also if you don't like being called out when people think you are wrong maybe don't name drop them from your soap box

    I think what he means by ‘bad’ is that a lot of these alliances are fairly inactive, have a large number of nations on grey, generally get destroyed in war and don’t make FA moves. This is largely why a lot of those alliances get called ‘incompetent/inactive’. People aren’t just calling alliances out randomly, there’s generally meat behind the criticism. Again, I don’t agree with all of the alliances he listed - but his point is correct.

    Just because someone isn't kicking and screaming in public doesn't mean they're not contributing to politics.
    Could some alliances be more proactive in going out to the public square, sure. That doesn't mean that alliances are not engaging or contributing to politics.

    I'm going to flat out say that this mentality of the community to write off an AA as "dead", "incompitent", or "inactive", directly contributes withdrawal from the public areas where some people will regurgatate the same garbage over and over again, with sycophants blindly believing it. There is no point in trying to argue with a brick wall.

    It baffles me that people can make poorly-informed claims, and others will blindly believe the first thing they read/hear.

     

    We are a democratic AA (with PR). If someone new really wants to run we will encourage them to do so, or take them on as a deputy until they would like to run.
    If the AA doesnt like the direction, they'll vote us out - plain and simple.

    I'll also say that a significant chunk of the UPN membership would flat out delete if the AA disbanded.

    Alliances are not prisons. If someone feels they're not getting anyware with us than they're free to hop around.

     

    Read as: That's 10% of all active nations, who have actively chosen to join an alliance that an extremely vocal minority of the community label as inactive because we don't participate in the screaming-fest.

    I think what he means by ‘dead’ is that a lot of these alliances are fairly inactive, have a large number of nations on grey, generally get destroyed in war and don’t make FA moves.

    These are just my personal thoughts on a topic that is a bit controversial.

     

    I've felt recently that there are quite a few alliances in existence that don't participate in the wider community, don't really initiate or even contribute to politics, and generally only ever fight defensive wars when their inactivity or incompetence becomes the center of someone else's war of boredom. The reason I write this is because I feel that there has become an oversaturation of these alliances and we seemingly are living in a time of change for Orbis, so maybe this writing will prompt action.

    The problem with these groups is usually not their inactivity as they log in often enough to function, sometimes just barely, as an alliance. The problem also does not lie with their incompetence, as the meta and politics are both relatively easy to learn and navigate. The issue is that stubborn pride is like a glacier: Locking up fresh water, inaccessible to the world. These alliances are host to several active players usually working hard to keep the wider group afloat, locked away from the community, and usually stuck in lower government positions long enough to drive them inactive.

    Cora from UPN is a good example of a potentially great player in an alliance fallen from greatness long ago, and now can only be described as insular on their best day. UPN, The Immortals and Mortals, Dark Brotherhood, TCM, USN, and Gods of Orbis -- just to name a few from the top 50 -- have over 400 nations between them. 

    That's almost 10% of all active nations, locked up like a glacier in insular communities that generally don't drive or even participate in politics. Food for thought.

    I may not agree with all of the alliances you listed, but your point is absolutely correct.
