imagine declaring existence for your alliance while being in the training alliance of TFP...

Congrats to LoD, TFP and Weebunism, condolences to Eclipse.

This should be interesting and I hope for TFP’s sake that this bloc works out better for them than the previous one did. I’ll also echo what Roberts said in a post above. Release the treaty text if it exists (if it doesn’t, why doesn’t it?). Doing so will allow people to figure out the political ramifications of everything and start to maneuver around the treaty as they see fit. Best of luck to all parties involved. O7

Welp, nice to see TFP in a bloc again

Everyday 30 Hive Members go Hungry while: - Florida and ODOO members enjoy 3 warm meals a day - Mayhem enjoys 5k infra rebuilds - TFP enjoys its neutrality Everyday Hive Members live impoverished while: - House Stark and Guardian continue bombing campaigns against poor alliances - Pirates steal billions from poor defenseless newbs - Camelot gets free entertainment from watching it prots fight themselves To the ones who caused destruction, pain, and despair, I write this plea with a heavy heart, burdened by the weight of unimaginable loss and suffering. You have just bombed us, shattered our lives, and shattered our hopes. In the wake of this devastating act, I implore you to pause for a moment and listen to the anguish that now engulfs us. Once, we were a community bound by dreams, aspirations, and a collective desire for a peaceful existence. Families laughed together, children played freely, and love and compassion flowed through our streets. But in an instant, all that was torn apart, reduced to rubble and ashes. I ask you to consider the innocent lives you have torn asunder, the children who now lay orphaned, the parents left without their beloved partners, and the friends who will never hear the laughter of their companions again. Each life lost was filled with dreams and potential, extinguished forever by your hands. The devastation you have unleashed upon us is immeasurable. Our homes, schools, and hospitals have been reduced to mere fragments of memories. The echoes of despair and grief reverberate through the streets, as shattered souls search for solace amidst the ruins. Please, I beg you, let compassion find a way into your hearts. Recognize the senselessness of this violence and the irreparable damage it inflicts upon innocent lives. It is never too late to change, to strive for redemption, and to seek forgiveness. Consider the countless lives shattered by your actions, and the generations that will bear the scars of this devastation. Embrace the possibility of healing and reconciliation. Let us find a path towards understanding and empathy, where we can build bridges instead of planting bombs. If you truly understand the magnitude of your actions, if you can grasp the depths of pain that now consumes us, then I implore you to stand down. Turn away from violence and embrace the power of peace. It is in these moments of darkness that the light of compassion can shine brightest. To those who stand with me, who have experienced this unthinkable pain, let us rise together and extend our hands to the world. Let us find strength in unity and work towards rebuilding our shattered lives. We may bear scars, but our resilience will be our greatest weapon against the darkness. May this plea resonate with those who caused this devastation, may it reach the depths of their souls, and ignite a spark of humanity within them. Let us strive for a future where no more bombs fall, where no more tears are shed, and where compassion triumphs over hatred. In the face of this heartbreak, let love guide our actions, and let forgiveness pave the way to healing. Together, we can rebuild, restore, and reclaim our lives from the ruins. It only begins with a portion of your income. tl;dr - if everyone donated their daily bonus, hive member could afford rebuild. please find it in your hearts to send aid /s

This is clearly a different story as TFP is in between two M-levels as opposed to outright not honoring an M-level held by one side. I didn’t know I’d need to explain that, but….

Now don't be too harsh... TFP did counter the 2 random raiders who hit Carthago and didn't counter Guardian, which I'm sure will help Carthago immensely. Now is that because TFP are pixel huggers who are petrified of getting rolled? Ofc not, that'd be crazy...

1. Cool story, bro. TFP flopping between emphasizing the Fighting and the Pacifists in their name is always fun. 2. I think it would be pretty based if all parties involved set aside their differences and declared on TFP.

To whom it may concern, The Fighting Pacifists declare neutrality in the Carthago-House Stark conflict. This issue is firmly between Carthago and House Stark. We condemn the involvement of third parties. We were not approached by either side for mediation of the issue, however we will continue to offer our role as an impartial negotiator. We do not support the war, and we hope for a quick and diplomatic resolution. Signed, Shwin, Shark Jonny, Defender of Peace

King Ataxia sat upon the throne in the grand hall of Winterfell. He and his Council had been listening to petitions and requests throughout the morning and it was close to midday meal. As the final petitioner left the hall, Ataxia stood up and stretched. “Well gents, let’s eat shall we?” He said before taking a few short steps to a table with lunch laid out for him and his council. As they began eating, a courtier came into the hall. “Sorry to disturb you my King, we’ve just received a diplomat from Carthage claiming to be here regarding our investment in our overseas bank. I thought it may be prudent to receive them now before the hunt this afternoon.” Ataxia sighed and put down the turkey leg he had been gnawing on. Disturbing a meal was never great, but the bank negotiations had been ongoing for over half a year at this point and he and his Council had been relying on these funds to further prepare for winter. “Show him in and let’s hope he brought a chest of gold with him.” Ataxia ordered. The courtier bowed and went toward the hall entrance to retrieve the diplomat. “Hobbes, please go get our Carthaginian friend some bread and salt.” Hobbes got up and exited to the kitchens. The doors to the great hall opened and the courtier reentered with the Carthaginian diplomat. He halted at the foot of the table and stood quietly, unbowed. Hobbes reentered with a plate containing a loaf of bread and a small bowl of salt. He walked up to the diplomat and offered up the plate. “Welcome, to Winterfell friend.” The diplomat looked at the plate but made no move to partake. Hobbes glanced toward Ataxia with a raised eyebrow. “We have considered Carthage friends for many years, please let us grant you the guest right.” Samani said The diplomat took in a deep breath and grabbed the bread and took a bite of it before grabbing a pinch of salt and placing it on his tongue. Ataxia smiled and then sat down to resume eating. The other members of his council did the same. “Please, take a seat and let us know what news you bring. I would hope there is a chest accompanying you.” The diplomat grimaced. “I’m afraid not, your Majesty. I bring no chest, only a note from the honorable men of Carthage.” He reached into his tunic, pulled out a scroll, unrolled it, skimmed it and then looked up to Ataxia. “Carthage disagrees that there was an agreement to pay eight billion gold dragons. ‘Despite the current leadership of Carthage and that of the Foundation Bank offering the amount with subsequent assurance of payment, we decline to pay you the previously agreed amount.’” “That is unacceptable. The “honorable” men of Carthage decline to provide us payment, they decline to provide our dividends, they decline to stand by their word and intend to do what? Ataxia said “They want you to offer some amount less than what the shares are worth, your Majesty. From what the scroll reads, preferably something along the lines of two point six billion gold dragons.” Revan spoke up. “They want us to throw away all of our gains and take back our original investment. That will allow them to pocket the work that our capital did for the bank.” The diplomat rolled the scroll and placed it back in his tunic. “That is correct and since you’re on the other side of the ocean, they fully expect you to come to this agreement.” “The issue, ser, is that we already had an agreement. Your organization gave your word. You can’t just back out on it and expect nothing of consequence to happen.” Ataxia said, rising from his seat. The diplomat reached into his tunic again. “Your majesty, we know that nothing will happen. The North moves slowly or not at all. We could get away with murder.” he said with a grin before whipping his hand out of his tunic and launching a dagger towards King Ataxia. Ataxia jerked his head to the side in the nick of time. Instead of impaling itself in his head, it cut a long gash along his cheek. Blood spurted from the wound as Hobbes leapt up from his seat and grabbed a carving fork from the roast on the table. The diplomat turned and began to run towards the entrance of the hall but Hobbes was faster. Even as the guards lowered their spears and prepared to stop the would be assassin from leaving he caught up, pounced as if he were a tiger and tackled the man to the ground. Without so much as a pause to offer him mercy he stabbed the fork into the man’s neck. Blood spurted across the stone floor as the man’s life drained from the gaping wound in his throat. Hobbes stood up as the man continued his death throes. King Ataxia was holding a cloth to his cheek that was slowly turning red with blood. “Call the banners. Have them meet us with all the men they can muster at White Harbor.” He said. “From there we set sail across the narrow sea to pay Carthage a visit.” Introduction After nearly eleven months of negotiation, stonewalling, and back tracking on agreements, House Stark has no further recourse but to declare war on Carthago for their handling, mismanagement, antipathy, and general hostility regarding the paying out of House Stark’s investment and shares in The Foundation Bank. All attempts to remedy this have been exhausted and House Stark has been more than patient throughout this ordeal. This matter could have been and was nearly resolved but for Carthago backing out on their word. We have been delayed at every juncture of improvement only to be set back to stage one. We thank TFP for attempting to patch things up and try to assist in ensuring a solution is reached but our patience is at an end and the bill has come due. By order of Darth Ataxia, the King in the North, House Stark and her banners declare war on Carthago until satisfaction is received. Detailed reasoning is laid out below in the linked Statement of Facts. Statement of Facts Herein lies a timeline with supporting screenshots. To the best of our knowledge and research everything is accurate. Should one of the picture links fail to work due to a permission error, please let us know. Claims (casus bellis) CTO knowingly backed out on the agreement between CTO and HS regarding the 8 billion paid over 8 months that was agreed to on February 8, 2023, using their newfound political capital and membership from the TDR absorption to attempt to leverage a lower price than what was agreed to. CTO has willfully conducted business off the books and therefore misallocated funds. OR CTO has purposefully stolen the money in the Foundation, possibly prior to the disbandment of OWR, with no intention of returning it to the Stakeholders and Shareholders. CTO, through Krampus, has mismanaged The Foundation generally through lack of staff, not updating documents, policies, or channels, not providing systems for Stakeholders to safely and adequately withdraw their investments, and not providing a system for Stakeholders or their representatives to remove a CEO who is not operating in the best practices for the benefit of the business. CTO has refused to allow other Stakeholders to view bank documents that they have a right to access or would show that CTO has been conducting business in a foul fashion under the excuse that HS was looking to divest from the bank, ignoring the fact that HS had not yet divested from the bank. CTO has refused to pay dividends that were requested under the excuse that HS was looking to divest from the bank, ignoring the fact that HS had not yet divested from the bank and after paying dividends for several months after HS made it known they would be looking to cash out. By simply dissolving OWR’s shares and adding their money to The Foundation itself, CTO de facto gave themselves an additional 8.4 billion dollars due to holding sole control of the funds. CTO has continually treated HS as a shareholder throughout the process using the associated lower status to offer original share ppu rather than treating them as an equal stakeholder in the business. TLDR: House Stark declareS war on Carthago for backing out on an agreement to pay HS a sum of money for their stake in their shared business as well as few related secondary claims.

After all TFP treated Cam in regards to the treaty before they cut it, it's much nicer than how TFP has been treating them post cut. Ik Epi can be a dunder brain n personally I'm still shattered after how he cracked me pre my Cam leave. Althou you can't blame Camelot after they compromised so much for a dear ally only to get stabbed in the back a second time by them.

Up front, well done, Nokia Rokia. I would not have thought NpO would agree to these terms, and in a way I'm happy to see that they did and got peace. That said... I'm not sure The Fighting Pacifists should be all that happy with Camelot right now. Epi insisted on that treaty point. It's an insult to TFP. As for the rest of this, Epi please now get over yourself.

In an ever-chaotic political atmosphere, the Fighting Pacifists seek to maintain security. After a successfully-carried out peacekeeping operation into Midgard, the Legion of Dawn, now free of tyranny, sought to join its cause, seeking refuge in the noble cause that is pacifism. I. Peace 1. White Peace beginning 2:00 UTC, May 15 between The Fighting Pacifists and Legion of Dawn. 2. The Fighting Pacifists and Legion of Dawn will reset their relationship, and agree to mutual protection in the spirit of future cooperation under the following terms. II. Temporary Treaty 1. Mutual Defense - Both parties are obligated to come to the defense of the other should they be attacked.

 2. Optional Aggression - Either signatory may opt to cooperate in the other’s offensive wars, should they so choose. 

3. Non-Aggression and Conduct - Both signatories are obligated to work in each other's best interest and not conduct nor endorse action against the other.

 4. Sovereignty - Both signatories acknowledge and agree to protect the other's sovereignty and exclude themselves from the other's internal affairs. 

 5. Intelligence - Both signatories recognize the role of intelligence in each's security and agree to share information without hesitance or alteration in the spirit of mutual defense.

 6. Non-Chaining - In the event a signatory is obligated to defend a third party, Article I is waived. 

7. Cancellation and Timeline - Both signatories are free to cancel this treaty at any time, but must provide a 72-hour notice. Upon signed peace between Fortuna and Anti-Fortuna coalitions, 72-hours cancellation notice will be automatically given. Tl;dr: The Fighting Pacifists and Legion of Dawn have reached peace and have signed a temporary treaty. /s/ TFP /s/ LoD

yall welcome back to my annual wisdom tattering so lets begin the topic is *ROSE* they are getting fat af and lazy they wont roll anyone milled up but rather hit those getting rolled. they have 1.1M personally what it looks like is, rose saying yall broke, step yo game up. SOLUTION: hear me out merge TKR and TFP and outnumber rose once and for all. also if this works i want the best mergerer credit, DM me for more merge talk, ashwin and whoever tkr leader is. Tldr; just go back and read it its like 5 sentences.

-Brought to you by my burning desire to do anything other than study for finals right now - 1. Which alliance fought the best this war? Why? Obviously, objectively KT. This isn't a question about who surprised you the most or performed better than previously. We're hardly a top 20 alliance in size but are second in net above way larger alliances despite fighting an entirely separate war against a larger alliance by ourselves and clapping them too. I know stats don't tell the whole story, but I would wager that if you ask t$ and Eclipse who's been killing them in the most competent manner it would be KT. I think unit kills is a more objective measure of success. We're 8th overall, but have a nearly 3:1 KTD ratio while every other major alliance is at or below 2:1. 2. Which alliance fought the worse this war? Why? T$ may not be the worst because micros exist, Afterlyfe and Strickland Propane have been particularly atrocious. It's not that we've come to expect more from t$, because we're getting used to horrible performances when they're on the wrong side of the dogpile. It's that the lack of effort/competence just resonates as stunning and spectacular for an alliance of T$'s size and influence. The Immortals also get a special shoutout for a remarkably forgettable war performance but I haven't fought them so my perception is based on the them losing horribly to what seemed to be the smaller half of Midgard and failing to recover any significant net even after Florida rolled their opponents for them. 3. Did any alliance improve this war or perform worse? Shout out to LoD for coming out of beige in Round 2 with almost 50 offensive wars declared. It's so rare an occurrence for an alliance to fight with full military and some semblance of coordination even staring down a dogpile. Even though LoD outnumbers KT, we have TFP and some Arrgh raiders that made it all but certain their blitz would fail. In the end, Denison smacked them down before any of TFP or Arrgh could really get any slots, but putting up a competent fight when you're outnumbered is probably the most commendable thing you can do in this game. So I'll ignore their inevitably atrocious net and tip my hat to Kan. I'm looking forward to seeing if you guys implement any changes if we get to round 3 4. Who was the biggest winner out of the war? aka who gained the most? Grumpy of course, but lots of winners - TFP, Rose, and Paradise came out looking strong. HS war performance I think is underrated. And LoD's performance can probably help put themselves as one of the best treaty candidates coming out of the crumbled Midgard sphere. Guardian jumped into a low risk dogpile and might get a chill rebuild period where they'll get ROI way faster than most others. 5. Who was the biggest loser out of the war? aka who lost the most? That's more of an FA question, and I don't know enough to give a good answer. Wana's implosion was pretty fun to watch. Grumpy might yet be a loser down the road with the whole world taking notice that they sat this one out. Mayhem came in with a lot of infra, but their unit kill to death ratio is remarkably low for being on the right side of a dogpile and having someone as experienced as Boyce at the helm. And shoutout to Strickland propane for getting pretty much singlehandedly rolled by Voidtree and posting an RoH against our whole alliance in response just a grand total of four wars against us (which might have been all against just Voidtree) lol

My boys in paradise showing why they should be a top 10 alliance in the game. Probly mayhem, despite this war being a dogpile and easy to stat pad off Fortuna, they still have negative net. TFP, was expecting them to be average due to the number of nations in their main tiering range. But they proved me wrong and remained just about as consistent with their wars as the majors, so props to Shwin and the rest of TFP gov. Grumpy for finally being able to avoid a war lmao. They hit the jackpot this war and should enjoy the peace while they can because I don't think the game will let them get comfortable for too long. But they deserved the peace tbh. It's pretty obvious who lost the most.

Truly this is the war that keeps on giving Updated 5/7/23 ~9:00 PM GMT: Military Strength: Military Strength Comparison Graph (Based on Totals): Military Strength Comparison Graph (Based on Averages): Summary: With TFP and CTO out, Midgard are left to fight only the parts of Aurorasphere that have been rolled by others plus Camelot, which I assume has just been mostly mass raiding them on their own. This means that all of a sudden, Midgard have a numerical advantage in many tiers again, though still may be pressed downward by the lack of anyone else currently hitting Cam. This means that in order to win, Midgard must begin outbuilding the currently beaten down Aurorasphere + Cam, while on the flip side Aurora must keep Midgard zeroed as is to maintain their own edge. Notably, TFP and CTO may begin blanket beiging Midgard to finish out their wars, giving them a lot of free rebuild time. Equally important, though, is what could happen if things do not stay as they currently are. For example: -Midgard could peace out both Aurorasphere and Cam and end their involvement in war if they are done absorbing damage -They could peace out one party, but not the other, and focus their attention on one side of that coalition to try and win and impose their own terms on a defensive war -Anti-Aurora coalition could peace out with Aurorasphere, leading to a much harder fight for Midgard What ultimately happens, only time will tell! Edit: BOOOOOOOO

It would be nice to see memes making fun of the Florida/ODOO/KT/TFP/etc side of the war tbh (Honestly not being sarcastic)

I think you underestimate our willingness to roll allies and coalition mates... Glances at TFP

(I have no idea if these are even the right alliances anymore 💀) Updated 5/4/23 ~7:00 PM GMT: Military Strength: Military Strength Comparison Graph (Based on Totals): Military Strength Comparison Graph (Based on Averages): Summary: Midgard maybe had some hope for a while, but TFP has killed whatever was left of it

I, too, am a TFP enjoyer

I’ve been wanting this for so long. Thank you to my Children and to our new glorious leader, Shwin. #JohnsonsRise -Kev Daimyo of TFP

Right, but I think we all (or maybe 70% of us) can agree that the political climate is much more interesting and dynamic when alliances have prevalent opinions that stand out from their sphere. Which is what I believe Lysander was getting at. A great example being Carthago and TFP, both have a very strong individual presence outside of bloc politics

Last time I was on TFP's side was NPOLT, glad we got to work with you, O7
