    General Secretary w00tles of Hobotown ordered an airstrike upon your nation of Badlands. The attack was an immense triumph. General Secretary w00tles's forces lost 0 aircraft, while your defenders lost 0 aircraft. You used 0.00 munitions and gasoline defending the attack. The attack destroyed 11.10 infrastructure in the city of Step 4 and $996.90.

    How much gas and mun for that massively distructive strike? If it's 1 of either of those it's more than the money damage it did.

    Again, assuming this is being triggered via some sort of Discord command, it's just making the game more convenient, not actually creating any unfair advantage. Going from your example, if you were in Discord and you had the bot connected to your account and you typed something like

    !withdraw 100coal 6 "Here's 100 Coal from so-and-so"

    And the bot took that input and made a withdrawal for 100 coal to the target nation with ID 6 and sent the message "Here's 100 Coal from so-and-so" that's not really giving you any unfair advantage. You could have logged in, made the withdrawal yourself, and send the message yourself, but the bot is setup to make that process more convenient for you. Again, bots that make things more convenient are generally allowed.

    The reason that many here believe that this bot is illegal is that it does not actually require the bankers nation to be active to make the withdrawal. Therefore, it gives an advantage to BK (and anybody using this bot) that those of us without access to such programing knowledge do not have.

    If I wanted to withdraw my resources or money from TI bank, I have to wait for Tyrion to be online. This is not the case for BK: meaning that a nation could theoretically put their money in the bank, get beiged and then remove it without having to wait for the banker to be online. This instancy is a luxury that the rest of us do not have.

    I agree that a tool which allows funds to be withdrawn from the bank without the banker needing to be active increases unfairness within the game and should be banned. Games should not be 'code to win,' if your banker can't log on for a while then you don't get the cash out of the bank. Even if it is 'your own money,' that's part of the risk of making a safety deposit.

    I deposited some money and resources with the TI bank, if I want to get them back and tyrion isn't online, kind of going to struggle with that one. It must be noted as well that this makes it extremely easy for BK members to bank potential loot just before beige, as they are fully aware they can instantly get it back. The rest of us don't have that security.

    I can't find a RoH or DoW anywhere. Why did Interstellar get dragged in?

    Also, some of y'all need to calm down. Interstellar is a stupid micro. Them peacing out is irrelevant to the overall war effort and throwing a shit hemorrhage over it makes you look bad because although it's ridiculous by itself, it also makes you look like a hypocrite because you all jumped on Coal B for the same thing.

    They were a TI prot, they responded when we got blitzed.

    Makes no difference who it was. It was shitty when Gorge was dunking on Colo B alliances for peacing out early (FR and others) and it’s equally as shitty when you guys do it. Just leave them be. You don’t have to say anything at all

    Come back to us when we blitz them for it. Except that won't happen, because we have morals.

    Way to double down on the asinine nature of your original invocation. As much as IQ's whining, gas-lighting and victim theater might feel like attacks on your person, they aren't. IQ has no power to stop you from pursuing self expression on these boards, save from telling you they don't want to play with you anymore. You aren't being subjected, and never have been subjected to*, anything that would actually constitute interference. Your invoking of journalistic freedom is also equally asinine, as we live in a world that's becoming increasing more dangerous to actual journalists.

    Your tangent into nations using citizens as collateral on loans, what level of Alex Jones nonsense is this? Also, your completely misrepresenting the difference between private and personal property in even the shittiest socialist systems, but all of this just leaves me wondering how on earth you expect that to be related?

    *if IQ has actually interfered with your ability to express yourself, for example, black mailing or extorting you, stop using it as an argument to feel good on a forum and contact the appropriate authorities.

    Does this work both ways? Can we simply tell IQ we don't want to play with them, and they'll be forced to allow everybody to leave under a white peace?

    I didn't say you were Hitler.

    I said that you were everything wrong with the game since you kept wanting to bail to just play farmville and no one believed the 50b or whatever was yours. They're just flattering you now when they don't really like your playstyle either. Feel free to find the logs. Keshav was mad when you broke the deal yeah, but he had even agreed to the NAP.

    I think everyone should be able to play the game how they like. Don't you?

    Please stay on topic. This is not the place for it.

     

    create your own thread for this textwall. besides, you have your own twist of IC events, that textwall. They have theirs: TMC hit a treatied NPO ally, NPO hit TMC back. Or: Fark should've stayed out of it to leave TMC to deal with their consequences. This could go on for endless pages.

     

    Let's just express support for the phishing/hacking victim  and Discourage any malicious account/nation accessing (of nations not belonging to the hacker)  

    Sorry about that, I saw other people expressing their war reasons so I thought it best to give mine.

    Freedom of expression is recognized as a human right under article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Article 19 of the UDHR states that "everyone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference" and "everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice". 

    Also all my " crimes" were committed under the umbrella of a New´s Agency so journalistic freedoms apply also, also one would argue most nations using the citizens as collateral to loans makes everything governmental entities and if going by socialistic ideas there is no such thing as private property.... :D:D  But I understand your impulse on wanting to tap your finger on that sign

    The international lawyer in me can't help but remind you that the UDHR is not legally binding

    We didn't intend to draw it in. The NAP didn't cover TMC in our eyes as TMC was not signed before that and TMC was the aggressor. They were on bad terms with Fark wehn the NAP was done and started the BoC thing.

    Okay let me break it down to you: we were never going to eliminate effective opposition. By giving an easy peace that allows enemies to consolidate and build on their structural advantages, it was simply suicidal. Whenever they eventually reached a settlement, they would still be in good shape and have tons going for them. The rhetoric from their side has indicated their long-term intent and thus we have no reason to make it easy for them. They hate us and we are reciprocrating the sentiments. They did a passion play and made themselves out to be completely crushed forever when it was never the case. They are in decent condition no matter how long it goes or they wouldn't have the energy for this. This would have just happened some period after a peace deal, so it would have been entirely stacked in their favor. Some people have been more upfront in acknowledging that. 

    Again, it's not. Peacing in this situation when they're doing this stuff just means it's even more slanted in their favor going forward. If they resorted to gimmicks to try to win, then they're going to have to deal with the outcome there. We derive no benefit from entrenching their dominance and letting them get something they want.

     

    With regards TMC/Fark relations, you were probably not the best placed people in the world to judge that, that would be tmc and fark. Given the response, I think it is clear that it can still be expected that other alliances have a very different idea with regards treaties than NPO: i.e. we think they mean something.

     

    Any structural advantage that our alliances have over yours was entirely self-created. It is your insistence on set builds and the inability of your members with more economic ability to expand that has created this situation for you.

     I mean, you can just look at who's on the other side and it's a lot cognitive dissonance holding it together while we've always had to deal with these types of situations and extra vilification. The fact that we finally reciprocated the ill will on the same level doesn't mean we started this trajectory. Epi's posts. I'm mainly talking about KERTCHOGG/tS/ We don't really have an investment in the other people.

     

    Or how about Commonwealth said anything and the assumption by that was they'd do something anyway?

    It's TCW's fault it will be prolonged even more  because they literally pulled the worst possible move for peace in attacking us and the NP stuff. They could have easily deescalated things.

    Prior to your attacks on TMC there was next to no reason for Farksphere to enter the war.

    The fact that you still attacked TMC, despite it being plainly evident that they had a treaty with Fark, and that Farksphere honours its treaties, is proof positive that you had a desire to bring us into the war. This being the case I cannot accept that OD attacks on allies of TCW, who they knew TCW had an obligation to defend, were not intended to bring TCW into the war.

     

    I am not fighting you because I hate you. There are NPO members I regularly chat to, I know people in your alliance from other places it exists. I am fighting you because whatever respect I have for the NPO, I have far more love for a game I have invested time and money into playing. The fact that the NPO has, for the duration of its history across multiple games, failed to realise that these sorts of activities only persist while there is an effective opposition to one group is not the fault of those fighting it. The fact that we realise that our communities are more important than our pixels is also not our fault, however it is the reason I will not stop fighting until OD's attempts to crush any meaningful alliances which could present any threat to them ends.

     

    Peace is in your interest. If you go for it, the game survives and so do you. If you don't go for it, the game dies or you do. I see, however that you've made your decision. Enjoy the battlefield, I'm still smiling.

    IC: Of course I want my alliance to win, it would be silly if I didn't, given that I run an alliance of close to 200 people, all playing for various reasons "winning" is a quantifiable goal that can unite my members for a common cause. 

    OOC: Please ask @Prefonteen @Kevanovia or @Cooper_ it's quite apparent my OOC/IC behavior is different and am generally a likable person who wants people to have fun in this game. Just because a lot of players can't discern from OOC/IC is not really my problem, tbh.

    If you truly want people to have fun in this game, here's what you should do.

     

    Stop cooperating with those who don't to keep peoples score down. BK and NPO want to kill this game, and as someone who's invested considerable time and money in it, that's something I don't want to see. Use your nations to hit BK's low tier, there's a place for anybody in our coalition.

    I’ll be honest, at this point in the war everything is fair game. I’m glad it’s happened to BK rather than any other alliance.

    As someone on the same side as you, no it isn't. Hacking is not 'fair game'
