Happy Birthday ^.^

I think the issue is less about the number of messages and more about the idea that multiple recruitment messages are used at all. If it becomes standard for everyone it simply overwhelms new players with tons and tons of messages that they will start to ignore. And those messages are basically your start into the game, your first contact with the community. If you don't have that you will simply quit the game unless you join an alliance yourself. I personally don't think that the situation has escalated to that point yet, but i certainly think that now would be a good time to stop before it comes to that. (Then you could also argue that purchasing 5 identical player ads to make it show up more is also a bad idea, but that's a story for another time)

True facts :3 Also thanks to everyone for all the wishes ♥️

I like your theme Good luck with your endeavor ^.^

Thank you for that, it is much needed right now ^.^

He couldn't. His rules stated the punishment. We had the precedent of Nova Riata, but that one pales in comparison. The damage that NPO has caused by doing this is immeasurable. How many people have quit the game because one side had such an immense advantage and a sheer ton of resources to their disposal? No apology will be enough, no measure will heal the damage. If he would have done it like then with riata, he would have deleted 50bil of worth more resources, all cities that were funded by GPWC money and he would have permabanned a lot of people that are now getting 6 months only. I assume he didn't do that because NPO already established itself with all the resources they got, and removing everything would strip away any chance of moving on. Like this, you still have it. Our response now is that we don't push for terms, we don't want to permawar you until you delete. Instead we offer a blanket white peace and a NAP. No kicking while you are down. We can not look back, but only move forward. So let's do it together

Congratulations on the conclusion of your first major war ^.^

small addition The war has some paralleles to the cold war and adding the moonlanding is simply good humour ^.^

I don't think that is too much of a problem. The individual alliances already teach the players how to play the game aside from the basics. Many only do the tutorial for the 100'000$ in-game bonus. And i also believe since that won't be the last update, that a new one will come that benefits younger nations more. He already made other changes to the war system. Such as the new war screen etc. But i doubt that there is much else to change. And since war/raiding is still a 'part of the game, i don't think it's unfair towards the not fighting alliances. Meanwhile the Allies and IQ both have to pay a bit more for troops. This will of course mean a longer war will strain both sides more. Whether that is unfair or necessary or benefial i can't say. I agree with that. But i don't think that this was really the goal. If i had to guess it was probably to lower total resource counts in the game or something similar. As for this, the by for most "dramatic" one is the spy sattelite. Since the war isn't only waged with military, but also with spies. But honestly, at this point with all the damage in infrastructure i doubt that it will have a significant impact anymore. The benefit is simply too small when looking at a full scale alliance war. especially since it doesn't increase the spy cap. You just have to kill someone's spies a bit more often and that's pretty much it. As for the others, the missile launching program is fine, especially since you can spy them. And the Moon landing project is simply a fun accessoire, that is more a joke than an actual advantage over anything or anyone. It simply brings more fun to the game and i sincerely hope sheepy will do more things like that. Especially since it's completely optional~

There are times i forget that BK is based off code geass

Thank you for the time you fought alongside us and the effort you put in against Coalition B Good luck on your rebuild ^.^

Well we are the ones currently fighting a bunch of backstabbers that have killed multiple games before... So i guess you are the wrong person to say something like that

looks at goons and gpcw

Thing is, hacking you is above us. We don't support this action in any way and we gladly help finding the one responsible for that. And Coalition B knows enough about breaking agreements, stabbing in the back of their allies, trying to find loopholes in the games rules, attempting to kill off opponent communities, forcing alliances to disband, gaslighting, misleading and lying to pretty much everyone in this game, even their own members. You aren't in a position to make such false accusations just to distract from everything that you have done.

Welcome home, commonwealth

Long live Pantheon

No one said publicly. Also what you say is essentially: "We will give you only one term at a time because we want to. Consequences be damned." Also according to you: Either IQ starts actually negotiating like every other alliance and in good faith, or Coalition A accepts the fact that t$ gets separated so you can continue to roll them even after a KERCHTOGG peace and that in order to see a term they have to accept the previous one allowing you to inflict much harder terms at the end. If we add the lies and your overall behaviour before (also after) coalition A agreed to surrender once acceptable terms have been negotiated, and the leaks of coalition B lately, i think it is clear why basically the entire game lost trust in NPO, BK and GOONS. You just saying "Either roll with it or accept the death of the game" isn't exactly helping with building trust. And not only TKR and NPO are on the negotiating table. Coalition A consists basically of KETOGG, Rose sphere, Chaos and Syndisphere. I don't know how you view the importance of individual alliances in coalition B, but in Coalition A we are equal. Hence trust and cooperation has to increase on the entirety of both coalitions, not just NPO and TKR. The situation now is: You present an unacceptable ultimatum, Coalition A continues fighting because as mentioned before it is "Unacceptable" and the only thing changing it, preventing the death of yet another nation sim, and eventually repairing relations between Coalition B and everyone else as well as repair your image is to simply stop negotiating in bad faith. You can't win PnW like that. You can't "win" PnW at all. No one can. This game is fundamentally based on dynamics. Wars like this one freeze those. Even if you would have won this war with all of your original terms, with Coalition A effectively disbanding and you controlling everything now. What is left? Sure, you will eventually roll Fark sphere, but then what? Game over. You have effectively turned this entire thing that everyone, including you, invested so much in into a badly programmed farming simulator. You lost because you are the ones ruining your own game, everything you achieved, everything you won, will become meaningless. How do we prevent that? Hand out the terms to the negotiators of coalition A, let them start negotiating together with you and finally get this game to peace. Another war will follow soon enough anyways, but hopefully with different coalitions.

Coalition A is willing to surrender once acceptable terms have been negotiated. Coalition B doesn't even present them, so there is no negotiating. About a ceasefire i agree with tarroc, although i think people will just fight less and less until eventually it either becomes a never ending stalemate until the game dies or coalition B presents terms and both can negotiate peace.

@Pika made ours ^.^

Do you think youtube with their rewind will follow sheepys glorious example?

Just to clarify, peace is being held up because IQ2 only presented term 1 and nothing beyond and because they exclude t$ from the rest of the coalition. Not because they can't afford 5mil food for AK
