Dryad

interesting timing

lol at Vein being salty as frick @Noctis Anarch Caelum Mythic didn't agree to the Fark-NAP. I'm not gonna complain about people signing NAPs but they will certainly not force one onto us without our agreement regardless of whatever treaty they have with us.

Nice, so you would agree that the "allied"-part is important and makes a significant difference? I can live with that a lot better than people claiming that beiging is just fine and it doesn't matter what the context is; that mentality would have tremendously negative effects on all wars to come. Your assessment of North Point not being allied is questionable. They were fighting on the Coalition A side of the war prior to their surrender and have now essentially reentered on the same side which t$ is on. Much more interesting to me though is this: "North Point was aligned more to our opposition, but was (for whatever reason, I don't care) attacked by our enemies" You are not of the opinion that this makes you de facto allied in at least a "working together against a shared enemy"-sense, which is relevant to gameplay? In the case that two sides, not allied to each other, have a common enemy you think it's okay for them to attack and beige each other for rebuild purposes (see war reasons such as "GET BACK UP!") aimed at beating that shared enemy? Weren't you in a similar position when Coalition B decided to take t$ out? It took a while until you were publicly one coalition considered to be allies yet you didn't decide to mass-beige KERCHTOG at the beginning, why is that? And I agree, beige fishing against enemies is completely fine imo.

@Prefonteen Question: You are saying that allies beiging each other in the standard raiding manner, which has been accepted for years, is completely fine. If that is how you see it then why haven't you used this strategy before? People in KERCHTOG have been fishing for beige for a long time now, but this is the first time they are straight up beiging each other among allies. Why didnt you do this before?

Back when Coalition B was defending baseball against nerfing despite it being clearly broken (and tbh it still is) I was a bit disgusted at myself to have been helping them in the war at the time. It fills me with great relief to see that the other side can go just as low. What's happening now is definitely the most blatant case of mass slot-filling since I have started playing a year ago, conducting and defending it is definitely a new low for some of the coolest and most respectable players I have gotten to know in this game and I'm a bit sad it's happening. The slot filling rule has always sucked. In order to judge the intention of a war declaration you need to have an understanding of what's actually happening in the game and unfortunately Alex has proven time and time again that he doesn't possess this knowledge. If he did then certainly it wouldn't be only 3 wars that would be force peaced by now but all 50 or however many it is by now. https://politicsandwar.com/nation/war/timeline/war=582718 "Dusty's justification for the war was, "I bring Gifts of beige"." I'm actually unable to understand how cases such as this, where its blatantly stated in the war reason that he is gifting beige, arent forcibly peaced yet. https://politicsandwar.com/nation/war/timeline/war=582715 "Windseeker's justification for the war was, "GET BACK UP!"." How about this one where its obvious he is beiging to have him rebuild? The intention behind all of these wars is gifting beige for a rebuild and most definitely not to harm whoever they are attacking, and it doesnt matter whether they do this with one ship navals or if they nuke beige them, the end result is enough beige time for a rebuild. To understand this you need to not look at what's happening in the wars and how they are fought but why people declared them on the people they did declare on. Again: this requires an understanding of the game, but it's not difficult to clearly see for someone who does understand it. Now would be a good time to read up on who is fighting who, its not difficult to see when someone attacks an ally with the intention to help. Alex, please be aware that this situation is another climax in the global war and that this cheating could be a major factor in a potential turnaround.

I don't see any wars against Mythic, are you sure you are defending them? Dryad looted $247,202,219, 93 Coal, 8,471 Oil, 3,376 Uranium, 770 Iron, 1 Bauxite, 684 Lead, 8,530 Gasoline, 8,492 Munitions, 8,419 Steel, 8,533 Aluminum, and 532,559 Food. IHOP also lost 4% of the infrastructure in each of their cities. ^That times 3 is why we hit Deathly Hallows. Meggles had too many goodies on her, thats the only reason we hit which I said before. After that I was fully slotted by dead counters so I decided to add another round of counterfree raids on Fark for an additional 500m loot. That would have been it, but Horsemen DoWed, which I'm completely cool with, but it has nothing to do with GOONS. There was no job offer or any cooperation against Fark. The reality is you are recognized by GOONS as like the worst forum poster which they find hilarious so they are trolling you for it and everybody knows this, they arent even hitting Fark sphere, it's just you.

I'm very proud Mythic has gotten a sphere to change their ways and think about game mechanics. However, trying to change the mechanics in a way that will make safekeeping impossible, resulting in the oppressed side of a war to easily lose everything they have, is only good if you wanna kill the game.

I definitely can't handle nuking 3k infra cities while the vast majority of the game is stuck in a war with little left to destroy. Pity me please, anyone from kerchtog$ maybe? You clearly don't understand our mentality at all, I don't mind burning pixels for all eternity lmao.

According to NPO stats we have 17b damage dealt, 2.7b damage received. You can tell me we are losing but I disagree. You are correct that this doesnt account for decomming of military and other side costs but who really loses on that front? Decomming some military isn't a big deal, how about an entire sphere escaping from nukes by going full military and driving their upkeep to insane heights? Or the decrease in gross income from getting your infra reduced and not rebuilding it? How about Horsemen selling down 3b worth of infra to downdeclare on us? Or the inactives getting beiged and turning grey so they dont get taxed? How about us spying tanks every day and killing 500 tanks per spy op for a cost of $18k per op? How about the military upkeep increase just from having active wars with us? How about making a laughingstock of yourself for not being able to beat this micro? When it comes to untracked side cost it's completely ridiculous just how high it is for Fark sphere.

human scepticism is always funny to me. no way it can be anything innocent.

I have said this before but we aren't dragging out anything. They aren't ending the war because they don't want to end the war, stop pushing it on Mythic. Our Horsemen embassy is extemely active with daily interaction and a friendly tone, to the point where we have nominated and voted for the Horsemen as most honorable alliance in the yearly awards. Also, people get too obsessed with labels for an outcome, this applies to you wanting white peace and also to Vein wanting a Surrender on Fark sphere side. To me it means nothing, what matters is ingame material in the form of infra, wealth, time and peace terms affecting the game. Regardless of the label that will be put for the outcome of this war, Fark certainly has only lost in this interaction while Mythic will walk away with some loot and a good time. And you are correct, this entire situation is extremely rigged in our favor.

This is like the worst reason to lose your pixels. If you don't mind going to war, lose all your stuff and wanna make a point then pick a side in the global and actually impact the game. Now they are just getting nuked and raided by a few people with no impact on the game at all. And like wow, so brave to fight the 10 man evil army.

Maybe you dont have anything to lose, Fark sphere certainly has lol. The thing is that you wont keep a couple hundred fark sphere nations from getting high infra because 10 enemy nations are playing terrorist. If it actually gets to a point where Fark Sphere has nothing left to lose then gg - you have now lost all you had to a mere 10 people.

All of you don't understand high performance raiding. It is absolutely impossible to beat us because we have nothing to lose while it's also impossible to stop us from fighting back and pretty difficult to stop us from profiting. That being said the reason we raided the DH bank and why I raided fark right after was for profit alone, not out of a grudge. They declared war on us as a response which is completely fine and naturally we are retaliating and do our best to be as damaging as we can. "the longer they’re trying to destroy my ally" is complete bullshit as we didn't start this beyond a reason than loot and are now not the ones keeping it going. In fact Vein has approached Raoul Duke for their surrender giving them a way out if they want to. I understand they don't want to accept defeat but we are certainly not trapping them in.

Or you can be good at the game and raid 15b lol. It'S iMpOsSiBlE fOr A mIcRo AlLiAnCe To HaVe 10 tImEs As MuCh MoNeY aS mY bRoKe aLlIaNcE dOeS, tHeY mUsT bE hAcKiNg

I dont get your question. Are you asking how the bank received it?

Vein withdrew from his alliance to the nation and then back into the bank. You can see the amount withdrawn and then deposited is the same in both the case of 10b and 15b so there is no 25b being generated as that money comes from the alliance and goes back into it.

I'm not against this but I do have a complaint. I don't wanna be too harsh because I do realize this hasnt been in the works very long, but the qualification system is completely stupid. Forgive me for calling out this specific alliance, but something is off when Empyrea qualifies to have a rep but then some other alliances (Mythic :>) dont (yes, I did check the list of qualified alliances on the discord). I get the point of why the past is taken into consideration: a lot of alliances that are currently not top 50 would be under other circumstances and that's valid, but looking at the past is a bad approach. What you can do is calculate what the score of each alliance would be with max mil and high infra etc and calculate a would-be-top50 based on the present. You can also look at it in a more sophisticated way and decide for each alliance if they will recover and that's fine... BUT the past is the past, and the present is the present and that's something people need to honestly get over with. What I'm personally for is to just screw the requirement and let every alliance have a voice. What are you expecting it to cause if you let micros represent? OFA demanding alliance of the year and getting it? That's not realistic. Any player of the game, relevant or not is a player of the game and should be represented and I don't see the reason why RnR with 16 members should be represented but the Spartan Brotherhood with 26 shouldn't. You can make an argument that a representative should represent a certain number of players but then this is not accurately represented by score. I could also understand it if you wanna exclude players inactive for a month or whatever. Imo that's not necessary but in any case make it reasonable and fair please. Currently I imagine it to have went like this: "For the qualification i was thinking you qualify if you are top 50 or used to be" "Sure, sounds good" "alright, so anyone else doesn't qualify" It's not very nice when the time it took to disqualify some alliances took 20 seconds, please be more considerate and actually put up some reasons why an alliance should be excluded while others are not. Once again I do realize this hasn't been in the works for too long.

Cool this one is easy. Best Micro Alliance - Mythic Most likely to succeed (Alliance)- Mythic Most Controversial Micro - Mythic Most Honorable Micro - Mythic Most wanted disbandment - Mythic Best FA (Treaties) - Mythic Fastest growing - Mythic Best Flag - Mythic Best Theme - Mythic Best Micro War - Mythic vs all of Fark sphere Best New Addition (Alliance) - Mythic Any other micro winning one of those categories will be seen as a CB against that micro.

i mean, they send you a trade once a day and you have to click one button which is either accept or deny lol. not sure what your argument is for picking deny. having to accept one trade a day isnt a major annoyance even if it's only one game played. may be annoying for themselfes because they have to send out trades to players who only played one game, but thats an inconvenience to them not to you.

Well, if you pay the tip for that game now they will unembargo you. It's not insane what they are doing with baseball, in fact its like the best system out there. If I play anyone that isn't Goons i need to actually figure out how to tip them, for Goons it's just one tip for all of them at the end of the day and its really easy and quick. The thing is that it's like automated bill tracking and it doesn't matter how many games you played, you get a trade at the end of the day and if you don't pay it's embargoes for you.

hell no, who am i supposed to play baseball with
