Edit: Somehow Farksphere got on my bank list, we are working on removing now :(( Just don't tell anyone I have NPO's bank. We need to keep that under raps. Thanks in advance Frawley.

Lu Xun Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) I've been talking about this publicly, but the Syndisphere war stats mysteriously stopped updating on the graphs page after they became involved with Mythic. Could these stats be updated so we can see how well Mythic did vs Syndisphere? Edit: Edited October 18, 2019 by Inst 1 1 Quote . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this officially reignite the debate between command vs. libertarian economies in this game? Looking like the "we hate taxes" crowd is really starting to lose ground to the organized economies.

The only argument against command economies are subjective measurements such as “freedom” which boils down to people trying to excuse being unable to sell it to selfish members. 26 minutes ago, Pasky Darkfire said: Which ones are command and which ones are "We hate taxes"?

My argument, for a long time, has been that many major PnW powers are operating in a "wild west" phase. Freedom, ambition, and chaos have reigned and a handful of nations have accumulated large amounts of wealth and put it to no use. Instead they've started "banks" or "casinos" to try and continue to build their own wealth like dragons hoarding gold. I think groups like NPO have been pushing a paradigm shift in how the game's meta will function in the future. I think they are approaching or potentially have already reached the point where the command economy will become the gold standard in PnW. Before the next global war NPO will likely have 50+ "upper tier" nations with 25+ cities. Where will the "we hate taxes" crowd be then? Still likely in the 25-30 city range because it's impossible to see sustainable growth from huge loans with interest rather than just utilizing the tax feature and self-funding with help from their alliance mates.

They already are the gold standard, honestly. At the current rate i'm going, by the time you nerds end this war i'll have a core tiering of at bare minimum 16, and possibly as high as 18. Reminder that i started the war as a micro which averaged 13 cities, and didn't have a bank, lol. Low tax always loses overall against Command, because Low Tax only functions competitively if every single one of your members has a level of economical knowledge at least on par with my in-training Econ head, or even better someone half decent at the job like myself. Otherwise, you'll find you get surpassed by people who run Command econs, where it only requires 1 or 2 people who know what they're doing really well to uplift the whole alliance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Daniel Storm Posted October 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2019 @Cypher as requested. Just as a general note on these, I omitted VMers which is why you don't see Seb on the KETOG chart, and although I tried to include offshores, I'm sure I missed a few of those. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Storm Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 When I was gathering this data I had no idea that TCW and Polaris would be the most war-resilient alliances, but the numbers don't lie. I picked my sample from the top 10 alliances for damage received. Excluding T$ because they haven't fought for nearly as long. VMers are included because I don't have data for how many VMers each alliance had at the start of the war. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micchan Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 @Pop Alliances merged/disbanded and players moved, for example TCW recived members from Electric Space, to do it right you should check who was in the alliance at the start and who is still in the alliance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 To be fair to everyone, a lot of alliances have a disproportionate amount of members off-AA and different ways of managing membership during the war. I do appreciate the screenshot and the work you put in and it's interesting to see. I just think you won't get a truly accurate picture until probably a week or two post-war, after everyone rebuilds and starts to clean up their membership lists. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking like the "we hate taxes" crowd is really starting to lose ground to the organized economies. I'll point out that it's both a mentality thing and a matter of knowledge for most players. Nation incomes are NOT an effective way to make money and to grow your country. People think that there's a bunch of high-performers who have cash out the wazoo, but guess fricking what? They're deep outliers. The majority of players who want low taxes are completely incompetent at nation growth and game economics, seeing their nation (as opposed to things like baseball, raiding, market speculation, game services, and financial operations) as a way to make money. The other mentality is that to submit to 100/100 taxes, or any particularly high tax rate, you have to accept becoming part of a collective instead of functioning as an individual; your nation is now alliance property and your actions are now on behalf of your alliance. As most players come from individualist societies, that's a big leap. But at the same time, this type of solidarity ("I play for NPO / TKR / KT / BK / GoB") is what makes a good fighting alliance that can last beyond the first month of war. So perhaps a debate has started, but it's also ended at the same time. Individualist alliances are doomed to fail in the long-run in this game under the present war meta because individualist alliances are less effective. And individualist alliances that don't immediately fail are being transformed into more collective organizations with strong solidarity by the on-going war that has put KERCHTOG into the grinder for almost 6 months and BKNPO into the grinder for almost 5 months.
