Mikhail Gorbachev Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Reading through some old (but not that old, the game is only a month old) threads, it's clear to me that there was complete peace for a while, until a hegemonic war broke out between some powerhouses. Anyone want to tell that story, and why things are reletively more peaceful now? I haven't been able to get an idea just reading through the old threads.

naTia Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) So before opinions, which inevitably are going to be posted, make it here, I would suggest you take in what people say and deduce something for yourself. Both sides have their own opinions on what happened, and neither is necessarily wrong per se, but it is a matter of perception. Here goes for my recap: TC is created (The Covenant) which are the (easiest way to explain it) purple powers. Hostilities prior to the war jack up prices EoS says TAC has been plotting against them (Empire of Spades, and The Atlas Confederacy) and declare war (TAC says that they are being aggressive) TAC says it would be a 1v1 EoS does not agree UPN (United Purple Nations) and DEIC (Dutch East India Company) join in on the war (on the side of EoS) Some things to note here are that these are all very big alliances, and there is still some controversy as to how it went down. I'll edit this if anybody disagrees.

SAI-40 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Nope, that's a pretty good summary. Now, the floor will be opened for opinions.

Why are we still paying so much for sneakers when you got them made by little slave kids? What are your overheads?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxxikation Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 EoS uses the weak defense that TAC was planning to attack them and rather than sit and wait to be attacked (which TAC says wasn't going to happen) EoS attacks first. TAC starts to beat EoS, so EoS called their buddies to jump TAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefontaine Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The purple nation wouldn't have attacked had the yellow nations ( since then change to purple as well) haven't been busy plotting behind their back According to an EoS member: EoS wanted to goto war with TAC to gain the #1 spot. It's all he said, she said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansarius Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Our reasoning for going to war is that we feel the TAC logs show that they felt tC was a problem that needed dealing with, and that the only reason they hadn't attacked us already was because they didn't think they had the capabilities yet. So rather than wait for them to build up a military and or a coalition to come after us in a war where they would hold the upper hand, we decided to attack them first. I can understand why many would regard that as a war of aggression on our part. But I hold to that our objectives in this war are defensive in nature and that self-preservation is our goal.

Vincent Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Prefontaine - I doubt anyone who want to go for war just for the rankings. Suffer so much damage just for ranking? Even if you are Rank 1st, So what? You got rewarded by having your daily income doubled if you are ranked 1st? Then perhaps. I don't give a damn about rankings and that's why I hardly even look at the Alliance Ranking Thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyler215 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) @hansarios & @vincent: it's not debatable.. Useless.. As long as we know what's the real score why EOS then UPN and VoC attacked TAC,(logically speaking it's not 1v1 as clearly TAC got its financiers outside of TAC so it's rightful VOC and UPN must join. We can see trade activities and TAC and it's allies are doing it.. Now, it's alright.. Just how funny they moved to purple to destroy the color bonus by economy is another thing that theyve plotted, and I'm putting up a draft right now about color change.. This to avoid, though rules in the game it's allowed they shift colors and divided their nations in alliances, to hurt the purple bonus, I'll be sending a draft that must be signed by our officers and Allies, if ever they would change to the color we choose, it will be an act of war and DoW it will be. Afterall if we change to another color, they just can again easily follow our color and do the same old thing.. But this time, DoW it is... If it can be solved diplomatically, it's fine, but if not, force must be put upon.. Edited October 30, 2014 by Jahngel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ren Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 clearly TAC got its financiers outside of TAC dude. wut? Don't you see, since SK and TAC share a market (an arrangement started when SK protected baby Shuckers), it's clear that this whole war has been a crafted ploy by Cody to get SK to the top! You're all pawns! /s (But seriously, who has the liquid to fund a war that in no way benefits them? TAC's early success was because of their own strategy, not outside funds or resources.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayayay Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) EoS and TAC have had a strained relationship since Alpha OrbisEoS was notified that a coalition was being built to fight them and their alliesPPC+DEIC did not act due to a lack of military buildup from supposed enemiesSometime later, we received more logs from a certain alliance leader that showed that TAC still had the intention to build a Bloc to fight usAround the same time a source (might have been by the same source as above, me no tell though) also gave EoS reason to believe that TAC had a spySuspicion was immediately placed on the member who mentioned of a coalition being built some time agoNot enough proof to use as a espionage CBEoS dowed as a preemptPeople %!#*posting on forumsTAC's allies stayed out, UPN and DEIC dowed anywaysMore %!#*postsThis thread happenedEven more %!#*postsThere is a radio show and a TSG guy posting about the TAC Bloc in a public thread somewhere in that mess Edited October 30, 2014 by Fizban filter error 2 Quote Orbis Wars | CSI: UPN | B I G O O F | PW Expert Has Nerve To Tell You How To Run Your Own Goddamn Alliance | Occupy Wall Street | Sheepy Sings TheNG - My favorite part is when Steve suggests DEIC might have done something remotely successful, then gets massively shit on for proposing such a stupid idea.
