I always love it when two alliances are so close to each other statistically - not only in terms of score, but also in terms of nations. These two are virtually tied in terms average NS, but who would come out on top in a one-on-one fight to the death? No allies, no peace treaties, just a battle of wits and nukes.
Let me know what you think.
I've been watching these two for about a week now, because they've been going back and forth and are pretty similar across a whole pile of categories - only separated by a tenth of a point in score, three nations, 700 ANS, 70 nukes, 1600 tech, etc. And it makes me wonder who would win in a one-on-one battle between the two, with no treaties or outside help whatsoever.
Only a couple of major differences I will point out:
Activity - Nordreich is at 86% activity, while NEW is only at 71%. Wo

Hey all, welcome to my CN blog, courtesy of the all-powerful admingod, glorious provider of tech and infra, who we solemnly thank for our daily tax collections. Amen.
Other than that, I'm going to try and use this as a (daily) reflection on the Sanction Race, almost like the commentary, adding a few predictions here and there, as well as some thoroughly random thoughts about what's going on with CN or IRC.
Hope you all enjoy (and that I remember to stick with this).
Just looking for some input about the warstats. If you feel like posting your reasons, hit up the comments section below.
This sentence is here to cover my ass, as I tell you that the results are non-binding.
While we've got some free time and we're not in a war, I was wondering if anyone wanted to see changes with the current way that I keep track of war stats. As a reminder, the current format is down below.

Effective December 31st of this year, I will be ending my involvement with the Sanction Race.
Simply put; after eight long years, the Sanction Race is no longer something that I enjoy doing. It has become a chore rather than an interest - something that has carried on only due to inertia of expectation - something the frequent streaks of irregular updates only serve to make more clear.
I would like to thank the dozens of people who have helped with updates throughout the years, especiall
Statistics for the Sanction Race's Year-End Update are located here on CN Forums. The following is added commentary and explanations for a number of the alliance awards.

Most Successful Alliance of 2009 - Global Alliance and Treaty Organization
From holding a measly seven and a half points a year ago, the Global Alliance and Treaty Organization has gained over 18 points in the past 12 months, and has increased in score nearly threefold during 2009,
Survivor: Cybernations - Season 5
As questions about a new season of Survivor were recently brought forward, I figured that I'd canvass for some opinions here rather than cluttering up the Sanction Race thread (plus, I can't exactly add a poll there). My desire is to hold off on starting this up again until everyone's finished with their wars (so finish off your wars or else you don't get any Survivor), but I don't want us to hold our breath forever either.

You know what I realised the other day? It's nearly been a whole year since our last edition of Survivor, and that's completely bloody well unacceptable. It's like Greece going a whole five minutes without a financial meltdown, or Rick Perry getting through a debate without making a gaffe, getting booed at by the crowd, or doing some third thing that I don't feel like thinking of.
COMPLETELY.
BLOODY WELL.
UNACCEPTABLE.
But seriously, next time, someone smack me upside the head before we ge
The first statistics for Survivor 8 will be collected on November 30th; two days from now. This makes December 1st the first day you can be eliminated.
Since the RL 8th season of Survivor was an All-Star Edition, it makes sense that this should be as well. The contestants for this season will be anyone who finished in the top three of the previous Survivor editions. The format of this will take us back to Season Three, where FAN and NATO fought it out - Last Man Standing style - in a fierce
All-Stars? WTF? Oh fine...
So here I was looking for the logo for the RL eighth season of Survivor, and I find out that it happened to be an All Star edition. Well, you know what that means - I guess only alliances who did well in the past are going to be allowed into this one.
But those are just details. The reason I made this entry (originally) was to get a sense of what type of competitions people were in favour of. I've put two questions at the top (I had a third but forgot it);
I haven't set a date yet, but I'm interested to hear your ideas about what kind of format you want for Survivor 11. I don't have a front-runner right now, though I'm probably going to avoid a head-to-head format. Let me know what you want in the comments.
Also, added a poll about qualifying. Do you want a full qualifying tournament like we did this time, should I just select the participants from the top X number of alliances, or should I do some behind-the-scenes qualifying based on recent
(Yeah, I'm not even trying to edit these logos anymore)
Since our last competition was a tech challenge, I figured we'd continue along with the stat-specific competitions and have a recruiting challenge.
Now, granted, it would be incredibly easy to win a recruiting challenge if someone really wanted to; have a bunch of allies join your AA for a few days, demand that people go onto your AA in exchange for peace, spam the living daylights out of the unaligned nations, promise each new recru
SURVIVOR 10, !@#$%*ES
It's been long. Too long. Like 16 months too long. So after its nice, extremely long slumber, Survivor is back for an all-new season.
This season will be similar to the March Madness style we used for Survivor 4 (it was a few years ago, for those of you who can remember that far back). Two alliances will go head-to-head, and whoever comes out on top will advance to the next round - advancing up the bracket as they go.
Each round will be five days long, and the allian
That poll up there should be pretty self-explanatory. Now that we've been doing Survivor competitions for a year or so, I figured that I might as well get some feedback as to what forms are most popular. Feel free to vote and explain why you like each one, or post new ideas of your own.
Also - I've been trying to think of some statistics-based thingy for maybe the first 16 or so alliances under the Add Line. This could be some Survivoresque competition (maybe even a testing zone for new idea

As voting for the 19th High Council of the Multicolored Cross-X Alliance draws to a close, a more accurate picture is being formed of who will form the government of that alliance over the next two months. Virtually assured is the election of Oli (Chancellor, with 85% of the vote), Supercoolyellow (Ministe
