Sweeeeet Ronny D

he isn't big enough

Are you a large nation sick of your alliance doing stupid things to get you rolled? Are you sick of getting taxed up the wazoo to help out the little scrub nations in your alliance? If you are a large self sufficient, well run nation of over 16 cities, come join Grumpy Old Bastards. It's a one time non refundable payment of 10 million dollars, which is deposited in the alliance bank, and we will never charge you taxes again. So if you are a nation that knows what its doing and is sick of carrying a bunch of scrubs, Message me Sweeeeet Ronny D and come join Grumpy Old Bastards.

You guys are nuts, that was a terrible war, and VE embarrassed themselves in it.

Damn kids, I am sick of all your crap, so I would like to say I am taking my place on the porch with my shotgun in tow and yelling at all you jerk kids to get off my damn lawn. Grumpy Old Bastards officially now exists. This is our flag when Sheepy gets around to doing his damn job. So this is how this is going to work, I am only interested in working with large self-sufficient nations, which means if you have less than 15-16 cities, don't bother me. If you don't like to hold onto a large stash of resources in case we have beat someone with a walking stick, don't bother me. If you don't like beating people with a walking stick, definitely don't bother me, the only thing worse than a mooch is a dirty hippy. Why is that necessary? Because we are going to run at 0 taxes forever. Also to prove that you are legit, it will cost you a 10 million dollar non refundable entrance fee, which will go into the bank, and can be used for loans in the future. If this is something you may be interested in, shoot me an in-game PM. Signed The Cantankerous Sweeeeet Ronny D

I would agree, why play the game if you can set it so you don't actually have to play the game. I appreciate the suggestion, I don't think it is a good one.

Avurch sending a defeat alert to me and then posting peace, how dare you good sir? Is it because I ruined your damage stats this war?

They got hit by Test for no reason, other than Test could do it and get away with it. They should be doing as much damage as humanly possible, because they never stood a chance to begin with.

I think given the choice of taking a navy targeted hit and 100 infra damage, vs an infra targeted hit that does 500 infra damage, I would happily let you blow up some ships, especially if those dudes are sitting on 2-3k infra per city.

If I am wrong why are you 600 days old with only 13 cities? You should be closer to Avurch's size, which in turn would make you guys an even more devastating fighting force than you are currently. If you are limiting your city count on purpose for better war coverage and grouping, in that case your goals and my goals are not the same.

Numbers don't matter if you don't have good activity, organization and effort. That is what is really wins a war as long as its not a complete curbstomp. The Mensa/tS/BK side has it, the other side doesn't. VE's "blitz" we found out about it, when Moonie said in chat, I just hit Mensa go attack them. (which is why there was what like 10 declarations?) Its why when I can come out of beige at a random time in the middle of the afternoon, I get 3 tS guys launching a coordinated attack on me before the next turn. Most of the alliances on our side of the wall don't have the activity or organization to do stuff like that. Which is why you guys win every single war, its also why I retired, because I got sick of putting in a ton of effort just to see if I'm lucky half the people do what I need them to do.

that is correct, but when i said fighting form, i meant post war fighting form, which is the form you use to get as much cash and resources stockpiled before the next war starts.

As a Manufacturing Engineer in rl, I am all about staying lean, but 1300 is too lean, 26 isn't enough improvement slots max out your income, and make sure you are producing your nations resources, it also handicaps your daily income, running with that little infra.

I still stand behind that, if you cant kill the top tier you haven't won, because the top tier is where the donuts are made, and post war, if they are in great shape they can help rebuild your alliance really quick, because they are the ones that pump out the cash. You wipe out 10 5 city guys who cares? you can rebuild those dudes in a day or two, you wipe out a top tier nation, that is 100s of millions of dollars to get back into fighting form.

I have never heard more excuses from one alliance than I have heard from Mensa. Always with the excuses... I expect better from you guys.

you guys were too slow, I got 3 tS already jumped in.

yeah i didnt actually think the game would let me declare war on him, because we just got out of a war... but you know how it goes, I already over extended my ground, some come on in, the water's warm! I am looking forward to hitting some of these dudes with 15 cities and over 3k infra tho.

I am coming out of Beige later today, so if you tell your buddies in tS and Guardian to stay away, we can go for a round two. I assume you will put up a better counter attack than Pantheon did (you couldn't do much worse...)

oh OP beat me to it, yeah we are now up to -102% Lets keep going guys! We can do this! new goal -150%, then 200%, can we get to 500%, 1000%?!?! oh the opportunities!

we can save money on lights at night because everything now has a nice glow!

kinda similar to all the sub optimal choices Guardian made to go from the top power in the game to a minor bit player that it is today. I wanted to drop CS the day they decided that fighting a war for 2 days was enough for them. I also believe we (atleast I was) leaning toward signing UPN over Rose, but it seemed like UPN went silent and was jerking us around (was it the case? beats me, but it seemed like it to me), so we decided to team up with Rose instead. Which also sucked because it !@#$ed up our relationship with BK at the time as well because BK was asking us about aligning with Rose, but Impero said not to, and then we turned around and allied Rose. As for the tS shenanigans Part got caught with his hand in the cookie jar which started the rift, but Impero !@#$ed up when he posted on the tS forums that he wanted tS to drop Part as leader. There you go, Orbis history in the eyes of SRD!

Pantheon is the Roz Wei of 2 wars ago, the alliance sacrificed to help limit the damage on the main group of alliances.

I like the change, good work Sheeps. Tho i think you may be underestimating how easy it is to get to 167 nuke hits.

I look forward to the eventual peace negotiations.

but i already did all the work, go kill her ships will ya?

Rescued by my new best friend Phiney and Arggh. It makes me sad, and yet happy that now i can continue to bring some pain.
