Who would win?

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

The Sanction Race is ending

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

Most War-Happy Nations

While running some war stats for my alliance, I decided to see who CN's most war-happy nations were. So far, we've had 9 nations who have fought 30+ offensive or defensive wars since hostilities began. That's an average of one war every two days. AAs are based on what they were flying during their first war. (35 total) 30 offensive + 5 defensive - Unfortunate Reality of None (35) 24 + 11 - Johnny Reb of Non Grata (35) 15 + 20 - Doxxy of Orange Defense Network (34) 19 + 15 - Tiggah of Oran

Bloc Affiliation of the Top 1000 Nations

The treaty between TOP and Umbrella - two traditionally top-heavy alliances - got me wondering about how much of the upper tiers they actually controlled. Apparently, I also had the same thought about six months ago, which is posted below for comparison. The NS of the 1000th-ranked nations has actually come down since then, from 97.5k to 95.8k NS. The top 3 alliances are very close to each other - GPA leads with 67, Umbrella is close behind with 65, and WTF is even closer behind with 64. Ana

Survivor 9

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

Most War-Happy Alliances

As an add-on to yesterday's most war-happy nations entry, here are the top 10 alliances by number of wars (offensive + defensive) since the outbreak of hostilities. lol @ none (2060) 412 + 1648 Orange Defense Network (2003) 916 + 1087 Goon Order of Oppression Negligence and Sadism (1824) 307 + 1517 Viridian Entente (1739) 608 + 1131 None (1428) 1279 + 149 Independent Republic Of Orange Nations (1419) 764 + 655 Anarchy Inc.

Electoral College Challenge

First three people to correctly predict how the electoral college will stand after tomorrow's election will each get 50 tech. The first person will get an extra $3m thrown in on top of that. One guess per person. Deadline for submissions: 9 PM ET on election night. I'll be going by whatever CNN says the morning after.

Survivor 10

(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

Imperial Decree

Peoples of the Cyberverse, With the announcement earlier tonight of a defense pact between Ragnarok and Polaris, it has come to my attention that Penguin (hater of cute puppies) has attempted to unceremoniously remove me from my rightful position as Imperial Regent; opting instead to replace me with the pretender Dajobo. The Emperor of Polaris holds no power under the Charter of that alliance to dismiss the Imperial Regent; he merely holds the power to appoint one. Therefore, I hereby denounc

Who would win?

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.

Survivor: Cybernations - Season 5

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.

Spicing up the Sanction Race

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

Christmas-themed ASR header

Hey all, I thought I'd post a little contest for anyone who's sick of making war propaganda. Looking for a Christmas/Winter themed header for the sanction race just to mix things up a little bit. Submit your entries by the end of the weekend and we'll have a vote for the winner early next week. Anything goes. Current header:

CN World Cup Logo 2.0

So in light of an additional entry for the World Cup Logo, I've taken Aquilos' version (as the top vote-getter from the first poll), and included it in a poll with Seipher Caim's version. Thanks to Alfred von Tirpitz for his version as well. Vote. #1. #2.

War Stats

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. Cerridwyn®'s Peanut Butter War (Date) --------------- Doomhouse Coalition • 66.97 --> 64.96 (-2.01) • Continuing Alliances: 11.55 --> 10.78 (-0.77) • Incoming Alliances: 0.00 --> 0.00 (+0.00) • Outgoing Alliances: 55.42 --> 54.18 (-1.24) • Alliances: 1 • Nation Count:

October-To-Date

I was messing around with my ASR program yesterday, and now have a way to quickly & easily make monthly reports (the first step towards an eventual goal of holding all historical ASR statistics digitally). I figured that I'd share the results so far for October and introduce a competition / rewards program that I hope will become a regular thing. As you can see, I've included a percentage gain with these statistics. At the end of each month, every ASR alliance who gains more than 6 percen

Survivor 11

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
