Skyler215 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I see no war... Only speculation from resource producing nation so they can sell resources at higher prices.. As I currently check every alliance and they movement, you'll all be surprised what I have found out.. And you'all be again surprised that my secretary at work having a double job, doing my papers in my office and the other is, this is a bit fun since it's not included in her job description, making the tally of the alliance forces. Top 15 alliance.. But she likes what I wanted her to do.. Having a spreadsheet of every alliance everyday except sat and Sunday since she's out of work.. Also, on my prediction being an economist in real life, it's only a speculation for the resource producer to sell at high price.. And I agree.. Peace will still remain in a couple of weeks... Thanks to my office secretary.. She then asks, boss/madam: aren't you an economist and playing this kind of game? But I like what you're doing... Thanks to you madam.. I also have a nice view of the set up in that game as my brother wanted to play that too.. Should we teach him that game? And I then look at her eyes and say, darling, just do your assignments and what I want you to do, and it's all good.. Don't wanna put your brother in danger.. Haha!

Vincent Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Who knows we all need a thread like this to post something in the forum. Well you know the more you post the more money you get and then the more crazy the market becomes. Well i am just 40 post away from 500K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurdanak Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 War is good for resource producers. Can you imagine a "neutral" alliance that focused on producing resources and encouraged war so that they could profit without actually fighting themselves? Some sort of Military Industrial-Complex alliance? 'Twould be quite interesting to see.We certainly don't "encourage" war, peace is great! But hey, if the market ends up demanding more of a resource, we're happy to oblige and can't control who buys our resources on the global market.

Shellhound Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Don't act like you're not the mastermind behind the current tensions and can't wait for a global war. The neutral menace is alive and well gentleman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyler215 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Yes I agree... But well, it's good for business of others... But I'm sure we will be the peacekeepers of ever and what else could it be? I recalled a quote that saying "sorry but peace isn't profitable as war" it's true like in real life...

Vincent Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I agree with Shellhound, those major resources producers are probably praying real hard for war to happen, it would mean 2 or even 3 cities for each of them when war happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyler215 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Yes Vincent, I too agree with shellhound,. If proven, wouldn't the peace keepers strike to those who create tensions?.. So they will stop spreading news about war that's not going to happen so they won't abuse it and profit from the gossips?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooohu Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I think a war will happen pretty soon if only because we're coming on the first 3 months of the game and something is bound to occur... looking at the top 10 and the majority of top n ations reveals that they're completely neglecting their military in favor of boosting commerce. With the prevailing theory being that should anyone attack that they'd quickly switch resources. This is a bad idea though, as some alliance is clearly planning something and with the cash windfalls from admin's post initiative we've seen some nations preparing for conflict. Not to mention the top nation in the game is spied on... for what reason other then to see how much cash he has on hand and thus determine how much he'll be able to mobilize for war. Putting it mildly, war's inevitable and the silly "no-military" stances most people have taken is going to bite them in the asses the minute an alliance (or bloc) decides to pull the trigger. tl;dr stock up on resources just to be safe I'd say; if you can sell them... then sell em and profit from the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Alex Posted October 23, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted October 23, 2014 You mean GPA? Haha 200 munitions @ 1,435 each posted I'm not sure that GPA is actively encouraging war, I think they're just in it to make the money. It'd be very interesting to see for sure... conversely having an alliance of "pirates" offering out their warring services for an exchange of money & resources. Neutral alliance bankrolls the wars, and both sides profit. Though I imagine the more organized alliances would try and break that partnership up so who knows if it'd be viable. Still, it's interesting to consider what could develop in future alliances. This would be really cool to see in all honesty, and it would be smart for the big bankrolling alliances because they wouldn't take any damage necessarily. Is there a bug?
