Noone made you militarise. If BW/Clock had just left it be for two weeks, the MDP would have expired and we would have been back to how we were before. Besides, if you're allowed to have an offensive coalition, why aren't we allowed to have a defensive coalition? The only difference between the two is who fires the first shot.

The difference is actually that offensive coalitions enable attacks against the largest spheres, thus ensuring that no-one can overwhelm the entire game and thus stagnate it, while defensive coalitions are built in order to ensure that the defenders cannot be hit at all, which stagnates the game.

The people in the current "offensive coalition" were in the same "offensive coalition" that was dogpiling a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really have numbers for our c30 tiering compared to everyone else’s, I’m sure we have a lot of those, not really my problem though.

The tiering has been widely shared, mainly by people trying to justify their offensive against Oasis and MInc so if you haven't seen that then I would suggest you do a bit of reading. If you don't see how it is hypocritical to say tier consolidation is fine if you are doing it but not if someone else is doing it then there's no hope for you and we're all just wasting our time here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except we would... which was the point I made... The scale of the war may not have been to the level we expected, but we would have been at war nonetheless. Cataclysm have already admitted that they were going to hit us. Clock is 30-40% larger than our bloc, should we have just let them hit us? They claimed, after this war started, that it was only going to be two alliances attacking. We have no way to verify this other than their unsubstantiated claims. 4 minutes ago, Kevanovia said: I’ll leave this here for you, since you are clearly mistaken: https://politicsandwar.fandom.com/wiki/Community_Outreach_Program Thanks for the one example that does not really prove or disprove my point.

It is a war that has been referenced and it is a war that some of the leaders of your bloc were in/orchestrated. It was a fun/non toxic war that was not “mutually agreed upon in advance”. (Since such a thing does not happen outside of micros). So again, arguments from your corner have no merit or meat. Also, the hit was going to be Cata/HoF versus MINC. You guys would have had the upper hand, so to reference that Clock is ‘30%’ bigger is irrelevant.

I've been in top 10 alliances my entire time on PnW and I have been involved in said wars in the past. The point I have made is that we did not who the actual target was, all we knew was that you were building up. We did not know who the target originally was until after the MDP had already been signed and it was too late. How can we know that it's going to be a friendly/fun war if we do not even know who the target is, let alone if the aggressors are a couple of alliances or a whole bloc? We're not mind readers. The fact that two sizable blocs were able to prepare a coordinated and fully militarised blitz within 3 days of the temporary MDP being signed suggests that our fears were not entirely unfounded as there was clearly already a level of preparedness from the two blocs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it with people in Mystery Inc thinking that aggressors in war tell the defenders that they’re about to be hit? It’s not a thing. It doesn’t happen unless it’s via leak. It’s hilarious that you guys think otherwise 😂 Keegoz went shopping as soon as you guys signed a bloc-level treaty. He even said what he was about to do in RON. It’s not a secret. 3 days is plenty of time to coordinate an attack among people who have coordinate attacks before. It’s much longer than the 3 hours it took Oasis/MINC to coordinate targets in defense of Rose during GNR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be everyone's worst nightmare I think. 500 plus nations c25 downwards engaging in mass raiding and looting in an organised and coordinated manner would cripple the long term economic policies and capabilities of every single alliance without question. Some AAs would fare better than others naturally, but I think every alliance would eventually reach a breaking point where the damage and lost tax revenue would simply be too much to sustain. It actually sounds quite fun, for both the raider and the raided. A good challenge I think 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can agree with that to a point, and in all fairness, there are some alliances that you can have a joke around with and it's actually enjoyable to play with/against, unfortunately there are others who are not. You guys for example are an alliance that is nice to engage with. 8 minutes ago, Kyubnyan said: I would also argue that all wars are fun~~ I'd probably think wars were more fun if the server didn't fall apart every time there was a blitz and if dogpiles were not a thing.

Every other alliance in the game prepares to defend by militarizing and doing FA so as to gain information about whether they’re the threat or not. In my time of playing the game, no one has ever defended themselves by panic signing a treaty with another bloc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
