"Robbery Gone Nuclear" or "Coldest summer ever war" or "Something something to do with the Apes War" I think I should never be naming wars again.

/me is missing the point entirely

Actually after about 10 bears and a bottle of "ayy lmao" vodka I could pull that of, my announcements are pretty shitty grammar wise,( English is my 3-th language) also autocorrect is a monster at times. GPA doesn't have a defcon system, there is no fancy-ass color coded alert statuses, there is only 3 states: total hippy peace, ToMA on 24h long coffee and vodka bender, and oh shit, shit hit the fan, it St.Pats v2.0 again.

/me feeds the trolls : OP's main point is that in some paranoid world it could be possible that GPA would fight for peace, which is in itself is counterproductive and a paradox, fighting for peace is like !@#$ing for virginity it will never result it that coal. Talking about current GPA leaders like he has ever talked to them, or holds some personal knowledge about their very ideals and souls, meh not that I know of. Thanks for all the fish, it's was entertaining at least. PS! I have no strong feelings one way or another.

Sheepy, just add an option for players to choose the way the clock is shown in-game , 12 and 24 hour clock needed to actually figure out what this update actually means.

Marriage especially as it is in western countries shouldn't be allowed at all, and marriage in other cultures or religions isn't much better either, no matter who is getting into it. Marriage has been corrupted to its core, it's not an union of man and a wife and their god anymore, such amoral sinful silliness is better forget that promoted.

Just out of curiosity why isn't Arrgh on the list? To raid at profitable levels i'd imagine it would require some high activity levels and know-how about how to do it which sounds pretty elite to me. And if/when some of you will come at with the propaganda line about "their just bullies", meh, even bullies need to at the top of their game most of the time to take your lunch-money effectively, again pretty god damn "elitest". Also Polaris and NPO their pretty much elitest as hell, again not on the list sadly.

Well this certainly has been both an interesting read and a complete waste of my time. Congrats to the new born AA and good luck in your adventures on Orbis!

Like Roz said stats aren't in stone, but I'm still weirdly curious about how you came up with intelligent stats, it's well known good plots don't see the light of day like in never. Any known plot a character is involved in should lower the stat, not raise it and so one. It's kind of hard to put a number on that one in any case.

While OP might be right on the trend of more autocratic AA's being the popular way to go on these kind of nation sims, forcing a shift to more democratic governance isn't truly an option either. Variety is a charm,having options is a luxury, it adds to the game, to FA, to general interest levels on how these alliances come together or fall apart, it makes political landscape more interesting. Imagine a world were all AA's on Orbis would operate on democratic ways, 3 month long debates and polls on whether to declare a war, sign a treaty or even raid a nation. Does that sound fun to you?

And probably masturbated trice while writing the OP.

Internal politics = drama - there isn't much of that any-more as the coup culture sort of died out, Nation building math and analysis not much of that either because that part of the game has pretty much stayed the same for some time now. So in my opinion GPA runs on people that are miraculously still active and the forum community. The long terms are just as long as player elected or general membership decide to let them be culminating in the maximum of 6 months.

A witch and the devil, not really the best saints or deities for a neutral religion, the most popular ones sure, but not the best. The best in my mind would the the Great nameless, unknown God of I don't give a shit, but hey, what do I really know about things'n'staff, I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

Ozon3, Polaris, Solaris. You steal anouther´s name on the same day you declare your existence, Master class shit-posting indeed!

My 2 cents worth: overall I'm neutral on it. While it will help starting nations, small alliances, neutrals, and generally all non-raiding AAs to deal with raiders more easily, we have to remember with this proposal and all similar proposals that aim to create a more level playing field are bad for competion and slowly kill the intresting in-game landscape. The nature on P&W is a nation/alliance/coalition building game, that means players will always find creative or not so creative ways to beat other players, limiting their options to do that will hurt the game every time. Any nation ruler that has but in time to build better nation than I, has but in the time to find ways to take my nations cash more effectively, in my mind at least has every right to do so. There is nothing stopping players to come up with working ways to deal with raiders and I don't see a good reason why Sheepy- the all mighty gamecreator that he is should order just a radical kill order on one way of playing the game, what's next? To which public pressure to modify the game to serve the interests of some other player groups will he fold next? Will he ban raiding all together next or come after people playing the game differently(neutrals, off treaty-web AAs) than most players? Or will there be a time when someone will build a coalition having about half the players in it and starts to pressure Sheepy to fold to that majority and delete their in-game opposition? When does the bantering to majority of players wishes stop and the rules of the game start to mean something similar to everyone playing? Also It will hurt anyone fighting the second or third rounds of wars in a major conflict, by taking advantage of vacation mode too coming out at the start of second or third round a fresh nation has his pick of half-destroyed nations whose infra( cash creation) is gone, military is half gone, but the fresh nation has all of it. It robs beaten down nation of a change to do major damage in lower score ranges just because their score doesn't drop so easily anymore which will mean they'll stay in range of victors that can keep punishing them almost as long as they wish with out no questions about what will happen when beaten down nation starts to ravage their lower tiers.

If you just had gone with that from the beginning you'd look so much cooler now! But meh, nobody should care what I think.

Welcome back! Hope you'll stay this time around o/

While Kalev60 and all his cabinet is totally shocked by it and can't openly support such actions, he is powerless to do anything more, a nation ruler has to do what nation rules has to do to ,you know:" rule his or hers nation, I guess." Yeesh Polaris though, did you had go and tell the hole of Orbis how you in exterminate your pixelated violent criminals? ;D The lonely PR person of peaceful nation Hiiumaa.

A day late, but happy birthday and many more to come!

The direct opposite for me, only reason i joined GPA here was that i was looking something different from all the warring in (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways).

That didn't happen so, but i guess after some serious e-lawyering that could work.

I am speculating here, but i guess the moral that author was trying to bring to us here with it was: "there are no neutrals in Hunger Games!" ?

Secondary motivation behind it might be to find active nations in GPA caring about alliance and people in it enough to sacrifice some amount of their nation-growth to defend others in their time of need.

Sure, sure, "Native culture" diminishes in importance when the social and cultural barriers separating the nation from others come down- we all know what happened to the original culture of America in last millennium, my point was that it is happening again because the ultra-liberal terrorists in the Gov are blindly letting it happen again and i'm not even talking about only US here. You talk about multiculturalism as it is a good thing as it will actually stay multi cultural, it would be naive to think it will though, through out history examples of many cultures living in harmony and equality without assimilating or destroying one another are far apart and few in number. Dominant culture with a higher birthrate will eventually win and completely destroy or covert the "native" one. How is losing touch with your roots hard to resist, how is it so easy to discard centuries of your people history and ancestral legacy in your opinion? I'd go as far as to say that developed countries that have adapted to this will not be the ones that are most successful in the future just because as we know them today they will not exist anymore and i surely doubt they will stay developed and well-fare states for long either if they let everybody in and pay their way for doing next to nothing.

The main reason why I think most of developed world "sucks" is look at their avg. number of children per woman rates, anything under 2 children per couple is a culture in decline, no culture ever has recovered from birthrate under 1.3 and there is no economic model a culture could adopt at that point to recover. Some "first world" countries come close to it already. Mass immigration while boosting the population will only serve to fasten the decline of "native" culture. So in a hundred years a nationalist Christian state as US will not exist anymore, if that ain't sucking I don't know what is?
