There's so many different combinations of variables, but I could try. Not sure if I can edit a poll in though. EDIT: Added a poll.

This is a discussion that came up frequently during the Johnsons-HM conflict (which, btw, is definitely not a global) and has been reignited after Clock blitzed Back Room last night. Given the fast-paced nature of #the-balkans, I created a forum thread so that we can hopefully have a more meaningful and visible discussion of this topic, one that wiki mods/admins are more likely to weigh in on. The most recent definition of a global I've seen from the wiki team is when two spheres fight each other. If I recall right, previously 5 out of the top 10 alliances or 10 out of the top 20 were the criteria needed for a global. I believe that neither of those are actually wide-ranging enough to determine if a war is a global or not, so to kick things off I'm offering some additional criteria that ought to potentially be taken into consideration: -Political Ramifications. Johnsons v. HM had minimal political impact on most of the game, yet was still called a global. A war should be politically meaningful if it is to be called a global war. -Total Damages/Duration. A war that lasts for 10 days and does under 250b in damage is considerably less major than a war that drags on for a month and a half and does over a trillion in damages. -Radiation. Every continent being unable to produce food for a period of at least a few days is a global impact. -Percent of Playerbase Involved. This is a tougher one to use as a fixed criteria, because the amount of "active" players can vary considerably even while the amount actually in alliances stays steady. Plus, a massive low tier war (i.e. one involving castle camelot) would skew this quite a bit. There's certainly more things to consider than the six I listed, but those are a lot of the major ones that have been discussed. Because of how frequently this topic is brought up, hopefully we can reach a conclusion on what is and isn't a global war.

I, for one, am proud of OWR for showing the world that they will stay true to their motto, even while under intense pressure to do something.

Nope. That said... https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=420108 - last on 44 minutes ago https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=224098 - last on 41 minutes ago And a multi reort from Locutus:

Look at what I posted again. You never were one for basic reading comprehension.

(thank you to krampus for being a good sport and not censoring this meme)

https://politicsandwar.com/nation/unique/id=417557 - Ring 1 -Ring 2 (possible - the fact that the activity lines up so well is suspicious).

How much money do I get as a signing bonus?

Well, which is it? Hardly a white peace if you had to agree to terms.

You're right, Dave. It's a pretty damn big disappointment they didn't merge into Carthago.

Wow. You just completely humiliated mayor with that absolutely scorching roast...not. Get your bigotry and attention seeking bullshit out of here.

https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=435848 Didn't even last a day. Rerolled, joined an alliance (coincidentally, mine) and hit VM for six weeks.

I give these guys three weeks till they disband.

Enjoy "retirement", @Jacob Apple. Good luck Iron!

First season is only so-so, and Ep1 is the weakest episode of that season. Seasons 2-5 are absolutely incredible, 6-7 are alright, and 8-9 go downhill with the writing.

Long Live Pantheon! Long Live Six!

All jokes aside, it's great to see old alliances out here making big moves. Props to TCW, and shame on all the haters treating this like a meme.

Pika's not leader? Yeah, these elections are rigged.

cool nation name bro poaching machine goes brrrrrrrrt

Sorry, friend!

Memes only goes for you too, Kev

Did you include the wall of prots being thrown at Johnsons?

You know, if the whole game chipped in and paid Johnsons 50bn, you'd get your update.
