The wild strikes were due to bad Intel and paranoia. It didn't make a lick of sense to me either. We were told those alliances would have attacked us anyway, but they never did. It didn't make sense to open up more fronts in this war. It was unnecessary and stupid.

The plan would have backfired whether or not the plans were leaked. If they went through with it the PR hit alone would have lead to the same result. It was a silly idea.

I blame Cody for this. It was unnecessary and stupid.

Pretty much this. Your leadership at the time came from the land of the stupids. But your sharing an incomplete truth. I kept track of all the mid and upper tier nations who were beiging at the time. I had a list. I messaged these nations personally. I know of 1-2 that stopped beiging, but there was at least 20+ nations beiging at the time. I know those in the lower tiers were beiging because they were outmatched by UPN, but those in the mid and upper tiers had no excuse. There were nations in Guardian and SK who were in range but unable to Attack because of Roses beiging spree. It was because of Roses incompetent leadership at the time. They were made aware of this and did little to stop it. I even worked alongside another Rose member providing a list of names to Rose leadership which was ignored, so we both messaged these nations individually. That's how I found about those who were struggling and those who beiged for self gain. You blame SK for not pulling their weight in that war, however when you beige the targets in range of your allies it makes it difficult to attack them. Also most of SK membership was in the mid and upper tier range. That's why the beiging of these tiers was frustrating for us. Again I understand the struggle your lower tier was having from messaging them personally. I even rember messaging you Dark Spectre and hearing your side of the story.

That is an unfair comparison. Your alliance is triple the size of SK. I remember struggling to find targets to hit latter in the war, because Rose nations around my size were on a beiging spree. (My nation was 300-400 score at the time.). I messaged Rose Leadership about this and I was told that it is too difficult to keep track of so many members. Yet I was able to produce a list of names of nations beiging for no reason at all but self gain. Granted some Rose members in the lower tiers were beiging, because they were out numbered. I got frustrated and started messaging individual Rose nations who were on a beige spree myself. One such member even admitted of doing such and figured he wouldn't get caught. He would declare on 5 nations, beige them and move on to 5 more. It was frustrating from my end, because I was trying to be involved in as many wars as possible. So many of the possible targets were beiged by Rose. Rose Leadership didn't seem to care about the beige problem in the mid and upper tiers.

I can attest to this. It was very frustrating dealing with Rose and their incompetent leadership. Well at any rate, we can count on Rose beiging us all pretty soon.

I don't know why Cody attacked Vanguard either. I like Rampage, Ragnar and some of the others in that alliance. Oh well, it brought us into another unnecessary front.

Too bad this isn't 1 vs 1 and a fair fight, otherwise I would beat the snot out of you. Regardless, I'll do my best.

Of course Rose jumps in when we are all beaten down. Let others do your dirty work as usual.

Your avatar is the best part of this thread. Taco dog in Space! Love it!

Now I see why I don't visit these forums.

I hope someone is tracking the GPA nations fleeing to other AA's or changing their AA in an attempt to preserve their pixels. They could do this and rejoin their previous alliance after the war. I've seen nations do this in (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) to confuse the enemies target list. I've even seen whole alliances change their AA to seed confusion.

Are you considering having an alliance bonus to treasures? That would increase their value. Right now it's more expensive to war to win a treasure than what they're worth. They'll sit and remain untouched as before.

So has this encouraged more war or have the treasures gone unnoticed?

I'm hoping that the Treasures phenomenon catches on and encourages more war. However due to alliance politics and structure, most alliances won't let their members go off raiding other nations for treasures. We can only hope for high level rogues.
