That's an excellent question, and I am hiring a board of scientists as we speak to investigate!

You're an alliance built on poaching. Disband

Theres 'won't join', and theres 'unable' to join. Shame we're too good & upstanding to log dump.

That’s definitely not what I’m hearing from IF. You should probably talk to them and get your stories straight.

*KT attacks IF because IF likes to peace out early*

*GGFU refuses to help IF and then cancels the treaty*

 

And people call farksphere the worst sphere in the game?

Ask IF why they told us to stay out then?

Peace was achieved before we canceled, we had offered to enter, they told us no

Before this gets off the damn rails like most things do.

Due to the amazing blitz by KT, who have made me a true believer, we got bent real fast. Its a wake up call to actually do better and be better not only for ourselves but for our allies as well. IF handled this like shit.

IF:

Fact of the matter is there were instances over the last 24 (about) hours that held up the chain of communication - I don't see this, from my POV as GGFU dropping to not get hit - I see this as GGFU dropping us because we aren't compatible militarily. Regardless of opinions from GGFU to IF - Enjoyed GGFU while we had them.

Obviously, the world can make their own opinion and assume - but I just wanted to say, this can't be all pushed on to GGFU. There's a lot we need to do as an alliance in IF to actually be better.

It has been a long time since Ive seen an alliance without pressure admit they dropped the ball in any way. On top of that by saying absolutely nothing GG&FU would have looked like the bad party. Honestly respect for not leaving your former allies out to dry. Best of luck with the rebuild.

PS. Hope to see your next conflict shows an improvement in milcom

I find this absolutely disproportionate to how the alliance actually functions. 

Gentlemen's Gaming and Fisticuffs Union is an alliance that is not only good at poaching, it's also good at econ, foreign affairs, and internal lifestyle. We at the Gentlemen's Gaming and Fisticuffs Union are exhilarated by the idea of winning of our first war as a group...

But, to speak more on our economics, the Gentlemen's Gaming and Fisticuffs Union is an alliance that prides itself on our growth. A nation such as yours, which is city 25, would be grown proportionally to your nation's revenue. If you were to join the Gentlemen's Gaming and Fisticuffs Union we would try to fit you into our growth schedule. That basically means that we will start getting you city planning projects, starting with City planning which you would likely come on the 8th of March. We'd then give you Advanced city planning on March 29th, followed by City twenty-six on Sunday April 26th. Your 26th city, on the 26th day of April. Isn't that just wonderful timing?

Honestly, if you want your nation to grow you're going to want to join Gentlemen's Gaming and Fisticuffs Union. We will continue to let your nation grow without the need for your involvement. Think about this way, we will give you a city build, tell you when to grow, and you don't have to do anything except log in and switch city builds. Doesn't this sound amazing?

Well, it will be! Our only requirement for a nation such as yourself is that you are active enough to basically handle being raided and you're good in war time situations. What that basically means is that you communicate well in chats, you know what to do, and you will continue to do well in warfare. If you mess up, try to fix it and avoid trying to mess up again...

Anyway, if you would like to join the alliance, feel free. I will put our discord link and alliance link here.

That honestly sounds terrible, why play the game, if someone else is going to play it for you?  It sounds like you are one step removed from NPO.

Uhmmm, I'd advice you not to look at the treaty web then. It might cause you significant distress.

I would just like to repeat Max's sentiment; GG&FU did not abandon us. They were prepared and eager to defend us. As Max said for various reasons our ability to respond  to a brilliantly well executed blitz by KT,  was inhibited. Dragging our allies into this fight didnt seem to make much sense. Sometimes we have to congratulate our enemy and take the loss as a lesson.

No one mocked Frazier after the Thrilla in Manilla, Joe was unprepared and Ali rocked him early. Futch through in the towel and said we will live to fight another day. For us this was a Thrilla in Manilla scenario.

To GG&FU, we love you, we enjoyed you, so long and thanks for all the fish.

There are ways of using the treaty web to your advantage you know. It might have been possible to drag GGFU's bigger allies in, if you're prepared to be less than honest about it.

Yeah, but there's a lot to be said for actually being honest about it. If anything, they really should be congratulated for avoiding turning the thing into a ridiculous escalation, especially so soon after the last ridiculous escalation.

You don't know me by now? I love clusterfricks, clusterfricks are great. Give me a great big clusterfrick with happy nukey funtimes for dessert afterwards.

Sure, I'm right there with you! Even so, however, there's a time, place and most importantly standards to how to make the best clusterfricks *without* sacrificing the enjoyment of the game.

If IF wasn't having fun with their situation, then bowing out is a perfectly acceptable course of action... though they'd better get their butts in gear since while mistakes/breaks are forgivable, being persistently hopeless isn't. If an alliance can't or won't improve, they'd better merge or disband for their own sake let alone everyone else's.

They should merge into Pantheon, just to make the most irresistible raiding target.

Im never prepared to be less than honest about anything when it comes to working with my allies. I learned how toxic that is from the short time I was in the last global.

This was exactly my first thought as well.

Unfortunately, there are still plenty of people around who only care that their numbers grow every once in awhile. "Fighting wars? Too much work, I might lose infra. I'll join whichever group isn't at war. Posting on the forums? Might hurt my feelings, I need my downvote button back to avoid confrontation. Playing the market? Do I look like I have an economics degree?" etc.

Luckily these people are ideal squishy, rich raid targets. Arrgh!
