Ashland1 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) I nearly spat out my coffee when I read "Don't delete your nation! Go into VM!" from TKR. You're cementing your alliances' crappiness. If you don't change the oil in your car ever all that will be left is sludge. Cars need oil. Sludge hurts them. Getting rid of the sludge is good. These people are your sludge. If someone in GoG was contemplating quitting the game over being attacked, I would click the f***ing button for them if I could. Good riddance. Honestly the most devastating impact of this war will not be to your infra, it will be you rewarding members who bailed and giving the ones who stayed a slap in the face by doing so.

Here is some reading comprehension problem, let me explain once again, NONE of our long VM started because of this war, some of them started in spring When a player is busy irl and thinks to quit the game we suggest to put one year of VM to not lose the nation if in the future he finds time to play, if not the nation will be removed from the alliance once the VM ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying that there are no logs of any of your VM mode players openly admitting that that is the case? Do I understand you correctly?

Have you accounted for all your nations in VM or not? Because if you had accounted for them all, obviously you'd be able to say "No, those logs do not exist." So I guess let's start there. Have you accounted for them (in which case you can give a definitive answer to my question) or have you not (in which case you have no basis to claim that they didn't VM because of the war)?

Wow, whine much? Have you accounted for every one of your alliance mates? Has the coalition accounted for every beige they've handed out and tremendously messing up their war effort?  Either put up the logs of get out of here with that stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people VM'd in my alliance during a war that would definitely be accounted for. Their blood pixels would be poured out like water.  I never said I had logs. But if TKR is actually telling the truth those logs couldn't possibly exist, right? That's all I'm asking. Pretty simple yes or no question. Why do you guys dislike yes or no questions so much?

Pretty simple yes or no question. Why do you guys dislike yes or no questions so much? Have you accounted for everyone in your alliance? And yes or no questions are difficult when you're asking if we know for sure that 150+ people didn't say something. There is no one that we are aware of currently that went into VM mode due to the war. Thanks for your concern for TKR but it's really not necessary.

Okay, so you're saying it's entirely possible that of the people who went into VM around when the war started plenty of them did it to avoid the war. The thing about uncertainty is that you don't get to claim it only when it would benefit you. If you can't answer my question about accounting for your members in VM with certainty you can't say with certainty that those who went into VM around when the war started didn't do it to avoid the war. On its face, that's precisely what they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if it was their reason, that is our problem to address not yours. But the thing is, we're certain they went into vacation mode. We're certain as to when they did it (in many cases, conveniently right before the war!). As I said, on its face it's an exceedingly fair assumption that they did it to avoid the war due to what they did and the highly unlikely timing of all of them doing it around the same time at just the right time. Two people showing up at a party wearing identical outfits is a coincidence. What if it's three people? Four people? The more people who do the exact same thing at the exact same time, the more unlikely it is that it was just coincidence, right? So the fact that you had a litany of nations all do the same thing at the same time, which was coincidentally also the time they needed to do it to avoid a war, is a bit convenient. A reasonable person (in this case any reasonable person not in TKR or TCW) would obviously assume what we're all assuming. You've been dispelling that by saying "Well they had reasons." to which the obvious response is "Really? So you're saying we won't be able to find any evidence that that's not the case for any of the members in question?" And you've been uncomfortable answering that question. And I think it's pretty obvious why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think it's pretty obvious why.   I don't disagree with the optics of it but the facts are simple....  I am not aware of any who went into Vacation Mode to avoid war There was some who went into VM near the start of the war that had valid reasons for it It shouldn't be any of your concern and if anything helps your coalition  The last bullet point being the most important, and as I have said with every post directed to you ..... It's not any of your business so why are you so concerned about it? Go worry about your own people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been the posterboy for your opponents' beach-themed propaganda efforts, so if you can definitively prove his VM wasn't to dodge the war then you'd put a big dent in their argument. I'm not saying he's war dodging (any more than it has already been said anyway), I'm just saying you can really make back some ground on that point if his case is defensible. 10 hours ago, Auctor said: if this was true then they're highly underperforming compared to the aggression they could be outputting. Their offensive war decs should far and a way outstrip BK's given BK's limited targets and their relative bounty. True, they're definitely not declaring as many wars as *theoretically* possible, however they're at least declaring some attrition wars against fairly decent missile/nuke bait targets. TKRsphere might just be more cautious than I tend to be, which isn't that surprising really. 16 hours ago, Anneal said: I’m just saying one can continue fighting even without most of your military through other unconventional tactics.  You know, I do believe you might be right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
