Says the guy that hasn't been in a war since 8/27. But seriously other less fortunate souls are struggling to keep up with the 900+ planes that Coalition B demands should be their military set up now. Having that many planes can cost $600-1 mil per day and that's on top of other nation costs. And let's not get into the exorbitant costs it takes to launch one attack, up to 1.5 mil in resource cost per attack.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamala Khan Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I mean, yeah, they’re losing money from upkeep, but in the grand scheme of things it isn’t really that much. Besides, they have deep pockets to draw from, so I think they’ll be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hwan Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 That's right, having a military and attacking costs more than just being zeroed and inactive like us... take that, IQ... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would think a 3 month NAP more normal, although up to you guys what you think its worth fighting for. I see nothing wrong with the war dragging out forever from where I'm sitting as well; so carry on. Uhmm, you realise I said I was considering going into VM then because my father died and I had a lot on my plate. Fortunately I was able to sort that out (And the drama from the game was a welcome distraction from IRL problems) but if I ever had to go VM (In which I have no plans to do so now) I'd give my allies plenty of warning, and even if I did go VM, tCW would still be fighting until I return. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of the alliances who dropped out would have been a better example, so didn't mean to single you out. Although Kasper's thread asking if you guys were worried about the 500+ nations brought in & trying to appeal towards white peace didn't mention the NAP specifically; although considering Hodor said they would consider an admission of defeat without terms to be white peace; think at this point you guys are probably fighting over the 6 month NAP.

Daniel Storm Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 This got me thinking about the economic impact of the war on alliances, so I broke down damage received onto a per member basis. Using the count of all the members the stats site has registered as being in the alliance and fighting during the war. And only for Alliances that have taken at least 10bn damage because frick the plebs. Unsurprisingly GOB is at the top and Arrgh is at the bottom. What interests me about this data is that some Alliances are bearing quite a large amount of cost relative to the average. You can also really see the effect of TFP being hit by both sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much all of the alliances who dropped out from our side were either micros, disbanded shortly after, or just died. The only alliance (No I'm not counting t$, CoA etc) of note that dropped (TUE) did so entirely due to legitimate IRL issues which we accepted. None of this changes the military landscape, until such time as substantial alliances like AK/ Carth/Camelot etc drop then parroting the "You guys are losing cause x number of alliances have dropped", isn't going to achieve anything. Regarding the Guinea Pig alliance, speaking on behalf of tCW its not a concern of ours at all it'll be months if not years before the Guinea Pigs have the ability to shift things in NPO's favour or contend against us in tiering which of course assumes they'll even keep them since most are inactive and some have already left the alliance and joined others.

The more stubborn both sides are on peace is probably a net gain for me as a neutral observer. Although people were saying it was mostly Yakuza keeping Citadel in before, no idea how it is now.

BK hasn't had 165 in awhile? and Arrgh! at 149? NPO at 198? I assume you're counting applicants but....they shouldn't count, at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of, I counted the members in each activity beacon/diamond just yesterday for the Guinea Pig Whaling Corp: Purple (active more than 7 days ago) = 102 Red (active in the last 7 days) = 92 Orange (active in the last 3 days) = 111 Therefore their 515 membership less: Purples = 413 (~80% not Purple) Purples & Red = 321 (~62% not Purple or Red) Purples & Red & Orange = 210 (~40% not Purple, Red or Orange) Edited September 13, 2019 by Zephyr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inconnu Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 The most important reason why this war should stop is that's it's boring as f%&#.
