I hope so, otherwise I'm in big trouble...

Anyway, Death to Tyrants! Glory to the Revolution!*

Wtf does communism even exist in this game?

Last I checked, there is no proletariat in your cities' populations. Ethnic groups don't exist either...

...and the whole point of the game is imperialism.

Seems pretty derp overall, especially since a revolution would mean players deleting their nations to bring peace to the pixels.

Right, because there certainly aren't any other alliances with themes that have no representation in the game whatsoever :rolleyes:

If you're going to criticize something, at least try to put some effort into it.

TRF calling themselves commies? Ha! NPO and BK with their command economy are the real commies!

TRF is not calling themselves commies, but it seems everyone else.

I honestly can't tell what it is you people hate more: Communism or Queen M's presence in the game. Everyone knows that she's not a communist. She says TRF's not a communist alliance and it's conveniently ignored to make space for your raging hard-ons for her.

 

Good show, gents. Nice way to make enemies out of those that could've been friendly at best, or indifferent at worst.

There is no difference between Communism and Queen M.

"Your cattle will die, your friends will die, you will die. But your reputation, if it is good, will never die."  -excerpt from the Havamal

 

"We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man."  -Oswald Spengler

I have a burning hatred in my heart. You're going to collapse. Once the greatness of K T shines their light on you, you will be unable to keep up. You are literally the worst group in PNW, and there's alliances like IQ and Pantheon around. Queen M, queen of the sjws, you're nothing but a failure like your hero Bernie Sanders. "I'm 75 years old and the only thing thing I've done in my life is screech about capitalism". 

 

 

JK, I don't care that much. Congrats and good luck!

Are white people, specifically cis men, allowed in the alliance?

Hey Thorin, glad to see your conscious decision to distance yourself from certain individuals and the actions they undertake is going so well. Really glad to you've made that call and are sticking to your guns so strictly.

I also want to use this space to address a really stupid rumour. Apparently a ton of our resident fash have convinced themselves and others that I'm black? Presumably because white people can't care about black rights. So I would like to confirm that I am a white cis male. If you don't believe me, ask @Thalmor, he's seen my nudes.

You're arguing that a deliberately featureless section of nations within the game don't have the features you associate with an alliance theme, so the theme is untenable? And that nonsense about imperialism and revolution... this might actually be your stupidest non-mechanics post yet.

I'm arguing RL communism has no value in this game because this game has no space for communism to be practiced.

Therefore, being a communist alliance in PnW is pointless.

Well the idea is usually having a theme such as that is it's more recruitable. In most Communist-themed alliances in these games people tend to be RPing. In practice, a Communist alliance just tends to be either a representative or direct democracy with the theme.  The problem in this game and why I agreed with your post is communism doesn't exist(except maybe what CF did) and high taxes/centralized econ can't be implemented without  consent. There are no workers. Alliances are largely self-contained entities in terms of econ policy and don't have economic systems they can impose on other people, so there is no cold war to fight, though the issue is people seem to want one. An issue unique to PW is the extent of stigmatization of those with the theme,  which limits participation in global politics. In contrast in every other game, even people who hated Communism IRL were willing to cooperate and sign treaties with them.

I concur there's a recruitability advantage since some players just want to RP communism, but I can't imagine it being easy to hold onto the members you recruit because it's not like you're creating a worldwide revolution. Like you said, players have to consent to join your alliance. Unless you plan on declaring war on non-communist nations just because they're not part of your ideology, there really isn't any enforcement you can do.

As far as I can tell, communist alliances are stigmatized because they won't fight each other. This is unlike capitalist and fascist alliances which will due to their competitive nature. If communist alliances one day took over PnW, the game would come to a standstill. They're deliberately targeted to prevent that standstill from happening. If communists win, the game dies. If non-communists win, the game continues.

I mean you can't even simulate a Stalin-Mao-Tito split in PnW because there's really only one way to run communism: tax your members immensely, vote in certain people to office, and let those people decide how to redistribute resources to achieve growth. Sure, you could tax varying amounts between say 50-100% as well as prefer to tax commerce or industry, but these are ultimately strategic calls, not policy doctrines.

Say communists did take over PnW one day. How would conflict continue to exist in the game for players to enjoy?

If somehow the Communists managed to take over all of P&W, they'd probably explode into at least 15 ideological sub-groups. Without opposition, there would be no reason for the left-unity which holds 'em together. Leftists are great at sectarian infighting, believe me.

I doubt it.  At least in this game.

You may separate into your different sub-groups, but I doubt any real conflict would occur.  Not very many are willing to initiate that sort of stuff.
