Mosquitoes recognizes state of war with Arrgh and TKR.

[Sans]

As the defender rather than the aggressor there is no requirement to explain my methods of defense but I feel that Orbis should know why I chose not go quietly.  There were many options in my best interest over the short term that I could have taken.  

 

1st.  I haven't been attacked in over 9 months.  It has been so long I really don't even remember.  So, on 09/19/2016 I was identified by the "League of Extraordinary Gentleman" as one of 50 nations over the ridiculous arbitrary nuke cap.  I won't go into details as to why the cap is ridiculous here but know I was targeted.

 

2nd.  I receive a message about my "EVIL" nukes on 09/20/2016 by a LoEG member....calling for their destruction or else.

 

3rd.  On 09/21/2016 I am attacked by 3 nations in the space of 6 hours.  So no attacks 9+ months then 3 in 6 hours just 2 days after being identified as a target.  Clearly a LoEG attack. 

 

4th.  Having decided not to bend over and take it... (there is serious balance of power and enjoyable gameplay reasons for wanting nukes unchanged) I left my most recent alliance and planned my counter attack.

 

5th.  From: Solaire  Date: 09/22/2016 Thursday 12:45 am 

Oh, and i apologise for my friends who are raiding you, but youre welcome to join us anyway... theyd leave you alone if you did

From: Solaire  Date: 09/22/2016 Thursday 12:42 am 

I notice youve just left OOS, and i wanted to say you should join us at tkr!

 

So, not only am I subject to a LoEG attack, but now I'm being blackmailed/bribed to joining TKR.  I briefly considered joining at the barrel of the gun and then feeding information to TKR's enemies but unlike the LoEG I have honor and don't skulk in the shadows.  When I decided to fight back it was for the good of Orbis and I was upfront about it.  I refrained from insults and refrained from dishonorable methods and I receive this classy bit:

Please grow a brain, for your own sake

So how is the war going?  Amazingly!  So much so that I wonder if I wasn't being allowed to use ALL of my nukes (and those I built)....27 so far so that I could be a poster child for the EVILS of nukes.  No competent player would have allowed that.... let alone the hundreds I am at war with.  After the first day to assassinate spies I should have been losing nukes at 3 per day.  Not a single nuke was destroyed.  In other metrics:

 

I greatly lead in infrastructure destroyed.

I spied away 8 nukes from various enemies causing 1 to sell off the remainder rather than lose it.

I have beiged 12ish enemies while only the Mosquitoes "Refinery" was beiged.

I've added to my holdings of land and "nonraidables"

 

*edit* I deleted the flags of the quotes because they covered the entire screen for some reason... and other format type stuff.

 

That private message is not official TKR policy, but this is. 

 

We don't care to have you join us. We don't coerce nations to join us at business end of a gun. Our members are free to come and go as they please. There is no ulterior motive to the raids against you other than an alliance practicing a custom as old as the planet Orbis. Feel free to keep shouting from your soapbox though, have to entertain yourself somehow right?

[Ogaden]

Wow so this is still going on eh

[Betulius]

a custom as old as the planet Orbis.

 

The Ancients tell tales of days before a war system. Those were dark times.

[John X]

Nobody in TKR is part of the league.

 

If Solaire had asked government about trying to recruit you I would have probably said no, because your nation history shows a year and a half of avoiding war.

 

 

You can't say no one in TKR is part of LoEG because it is a movement built on secrecy. You know only if YOU are....and if you are you'd be okay with lying about it.

 

Year and a half without war? No...9 months perhaps...Not that I've avoided it. I left BoC over 100% taxes (easily confirmed...I made a big deal about it). I left R&R over a personal insult towards a friend of mine. I was out of the current war because I was LITERALLY too high to attack anyone (although I spied some nukes!) I was quite the raider when I started. Built a city every 10 days for 7 cities off of it (more or less).

 

Rest assured I'll see my fill of war in the coming days.

It was a couple of days on full taxes to make sure we were economically prepared for any situation. Even though we cancelled it after a day, you still left. No need to try and shame us because you *nearly* lost a couple days revenue. That's quite uncalled for.

I was not trying to shame anyone. Just the briefest statement of fact because I believe BoC entered a war soon after.

Hmm. Not really sure, can't remember when it was exactly.

[John X]

Peace!

I John X, former leader of "Mosquitoes" surrendered to TKR and Arrgh. They've both graciously accepted my surrender despite my original statements. My surrender followed the realisation that the attacks on me were just that....despite the coincidental timing and LoEG was not involved. That many nations exceed their "nuke cap" suggests they really don't exist as a force at all.

 

It should also be known that TKR (whom I directed most of my efforts against) was a most impressive opponent...never failing to note me logging on and building a nuke just to spy it away in the 5 seconds available before I could launch it. Standard attacks and blockades made any resistance impossible. Well done.

[kosmokenny]

Yes, their scripts are most impressive

Are you still here?

 

There should be a ban on one person alliances creating threads here.
