This was a well fought war, and I'm glad we were able to achieve a pretty uncontroversial peace. Here's to a brighter future for all involved.

I imagine the NAP was something Hollywood wanted, right? Normally I would say a 3 month NAP was silly but, assuming it was Hollywood that demanded it, then that would be reasonable and it makes sense coming from them.

Congrats to everyone on both sides for a hard fought war. A special shoutout to the nations that successfully zeroed and cycled me in the opening round of the war, in addition to the milcom that advised them. Your coordination was fantastic and links to their nations are down below. I was def salty at the time lol but I gotta give credit. And if cult of osiris is reading this, don't feel to bad. We all mess up sometimes :P

Nations that kicked my ass in no particular order:

Yes, I'm sure it was very altruistic. Our 1 member who actually reacted there thanks you.

Edited by Adrienne
Edited because I was curious since the main announcement that was leaked also had inflated reaction numbers so I went back and looked lol.

That assumption would be incorrect, it was offered by our opponents,  and it wasn't a hill I was willing to die on in order to get peace.

Good game. Well played. Easy. No redo.

REMINDER that it's not the fault of the players that the game mechanics encourage building infra and pixel hugging as a necessity for long term growth. The people who say this can be right when they say so while being forced to play the metagame by Alex. If you have an issue, who you really should be talking to is Alex, not crapping up a surrender thread. :<

But then this just seems like a cop-out, doesn't it? Just because there are questionable mechanics doesn't mean you can't call out alliances or players for being pixel huggers.

A. 3 spheres that arent in this NAP vs essentially the entire game being included in GW16S

B. All three of the people you screenshotted there are retired and old, all we do is yell now

Ok, a couple points, feel free to correct me here ofc:

-Regardless, that's still your opinion independent of tS's that NAPs are bad then, no?

-AFAIK you still do work in tS (or at least advise), so saying you're retired isn't 100% accurate imo; but regardless I think it'd be nice to hope that the opinions of you three still hold weight in tS

-The only two other relevant spheres are Oasis and Mystery. Do you expect anything politically dynamic to happen out of either bloc? (Me neither. Unless you're looking for an Oasis vs. Mystery war?) Neither are ever going to declare war on Rose, neither are dumb enough to hit BW on their own, and HW is basically dead after fighting who knows how many wars in a row so I doubt they're looking for trouble. It's also my opinion that tS would thrive without an NAP in a less stagnant environment, and also that HW needs a less stagnant environment in order to shift in a way that I think you would be happy to see. Just my two bits.

Short NAPs arent bad, its long NAPs and Blanket NAPs that are problematic

Yeah but then if your argument is it's because they won't declare war on each other within a short period of time anyways, then why not literally just not sign the NAP and have the same outcome happen but with much more wiggle room?

Nah, tbh I think it was mostly Rose LMAO

No my argument is it adds drama when someone breaks it lmao. gets entertaining as hell.

Shit it was a blast fighting this war against HW. Meeting new people and getting to talk to them was sick. And plus some of y'all guys gave me a run for my money lmao. Cheers to a fun war.

 

Also BW should have made tkr move to discord as part of the treaty. That would have been meme of the year.

Thanks for the clarification! 

The NAP is silly, then.

This is dumb in that advisory roles are retirement unless you're like Abbas or Keegoz and can't keep your hands off the wheels 😜

 

That said, my opinion as I've stated in RON is that there wouldn't be a war between any of us 3 regardless within the next 3 months unless something major happened, which considering Sphinx is out of gov and can't leak anymore, I doubt. Instead of whining that the NAP is in place, why don't you go tell Oasis/Mystery to do something? TKR, Rose, and t$ can't do all the entertaining around here.
