People arent.

While I agree that the 6 month NAP is utter bs, decline in players is probably most attributed to we rarely receive meaningful updates to this game.

Despite being on the receiving end of a massive dogpile for the false association of being in SAIL, I thought it was a fun war. I personally made the most of the situation and got to experiment with certain conventional tactics while being outnumbered and had some pretty decent successes (while also nuke/missile turreting). WTF had several members that really rose to the occasion and gained valuable experience, so overall I'm pretty happy with the WTF performance.

Well earned peace for everyone, though I too agree that 6 month NAPs are a bit excessive. I would have preferred the entire party agree to only a 3 or 4 month NAP. It feels like over the last several years the game has become Dogpile -> Long NAP -> New Dogpile immediately after NAPs expire -> Rinse and Repeat. This repetitive nature of the FA politics ultimately hurts the game. Part of the fun is when there are no major NAPs and there's some suspense in what might happen.

Another day, another peace of a Global War. But hey at least this was a actual war compared to Blue Balled (GW30), , Blue Balled was waaayyyy too short, This war,it lasted a lot longer, so more like a actual Global War, Darkest Hour Deux was really fun, and i really enjoyed fighting alongside my friends, and fighting against my foes. But congratulations on the peace tho.

Not to misdirect the thread, but wasn’t this also around the time Alex stopped paying for ads?  He always said it wasn’t worth it but idk, I’m pretty sure that was around the time.

The ghost of christmas past must've signed for Pokimans cus we rather eat and shit glass than sit through 6 months of NAP, we didnt hear about this until 5 hours after the post. TGH went in the right direction with 4 months.

Wendell Confirms Nuke Raids Will Continue Until Morale Improves... 

Wendell Williams has confirmed that their nation will continue with the current damage gap project for an additional 69 days. Working with Event Horizon, several raids will commence on micros, and other vulnerable entities. Additionally, nukes/missiles will be detonated over carefully chosen highly populated areas to maximize death tolls and cripple economies. Further information will come from Wendell's Office of Gittiing Gud and EVH's Military Affairs department. 

All Praise Wendell!!

The decline in players in general has nothing to do with 6 month naps.

There has been major wars during these naps, it's not as if the game has sat at peace for any extended time. People can literally look at the wiki or food charts and see as much.

We have had 3 Global wars so far this year, 4 if you split the two ones we have just had.

Player engagement is down because the lower tier meta is shit and filters out half the new playerbase, a meta that most of the people who are complaining about naps also support.

Wars always drive players out of the game, peace is when you see growth and retention.

So we can take this for the exact same two major wars happening every 3 months or so as fresh and different. TKR vs Eclipse round 3 (or is it 4? I'm not keeping track there.) when their NAP expires? Gular+Rose+tons of friends hit t$ and EVH for a third time in a row too in 6 months? That's totally brave and dynamic gameplay. Yup. I see no problems here. So fun. Glad farming is what keeps us all playing the game because it sure as hell ain't the predictable politics.

Sketchy's bold plan to help game politics is to kvetch that people are kvetching about his ridiculous dogpile and peace terms.  Sad!

I think you should make up your mind. You are complaining about a long nap between t$ and us, whilst simultaneously complaining about us also fighting them all the time. My actual point was that retention has little to do with the issue you guys are whining about, which is true.

I think you just exist to complain. Start contributing to the game and doing something. For all your talk of farming, I've fought plenty in the past year. I've started multiple global wars. I am not sitting around with my finger up my ass complaining about the state of the game on deaf ears.

Don't like the dynamic? You've had ample opportunity to step up and change it. But alas, as it is for many in the peanut gallery, you would rather sit in your alliance, an alliance which, I might add, has engaged in all the same things you are currently complaining about, and whine.
