  1. Thank you for feeling the need to give permission Always :P Hey Bob long time no see!! Pax have harboured me well in the time i was inactive and unable to fully participate here on Bob. For that I owe them a debt. Not everyone joins a neutral alliance merely because they believe in neutrality. Sometimes it's because RL doesn't allow for much more than being neutral. DT always has been an option for me andf I appreciate your comment :D No chest pounding bud :D Just making sure this isn't made out to be something it isn't. DBDC hit Pax - Big deal. 10 days wars. They get land we get a few casulties. Good news for me considering this new cemetrey wonder. I very much doubt any of our big nations will blink much of an eye on this. As for the low tier - well certain little naughty Doombirds could have bit of much more than they bargained for. And while DBDC's upper tiers get larger, Seers of Doom inserting themselves was not the brightest move. Warnings aside, this is a mere mosquito bite and not something to get stressed about.
  2. Believe me, if they hadn't jumped to NS's double mine all my offensive slots would be full. One thing - Pax are NOT scared of DBDC. It was a well planned raid. The land they stole was worth a fortune. Nothing more to said on it.
  3. Funny . don't think i said that - i tend not to imply. You can try and insert words to create drama if you wish, however it seems to have struck a nerve with you.
  4. Maybe Pax Corvus knows this can happen but has the balls to stand on it's own two rather than hiding behind others .... My personal opinion for what its worth.
  5. Time to mash some pixels. I don't see what the fuss is about other than DBDC raided Pax all mass - Pax defended itself. If other AA's want to send good wishes or hate mail it is fine but this shouldn't turn into (another) reason for an excuse for a global conflict. With sanction comes the risk of this stuff. DBDC want to fight, it's no biggie. They organised themselves well, hitting our top tier and running into their high NS Cloud. These wars will expire, it will be all over and then business as usual. Bit disspointed I can't hit some targets so some of you would be kind enough to drop down a bit so I can fill slots that would be great!! I am just looking forward to mashing as much pixel as possible. Enjoy the green cloud and the death screams of your pixels DBDC :P White Chocolate you are awesome!! gonna enjoy this war. Bring the Pain DBDC.....
  6. A few facts on Sweden that will explain Swedish Life a bit better,show a lot parity with Pax: (Loved the post Malk) #1 Swedes love their coffee Few people drink more coffee than the Swedes. In Sweden, coffee drinking is fostered through a tradition called fika – in which friends, family or colleagues meet for coffee or tea, often with something sweet on the side. Most Swedes will enjoy at least one fika a day as an opportunity to bond. Coffee consumption In 2012, the average Swede consumed a staggering total of 7.32 kilos of coffee. The EU average was 4.83 kilos per capita, according to statistics by the International Coffee Organization. #2 Get in line From the pharmacy and tax office to your local grocery store’s meat counter, you’ll be forced to exercise patience as you wait to be served in a numbered queue. Many businesses have a ticketing system – usually a small hard-to-find machine hung on a wall that dispenses number notes. Once you grab your ticket, you’ll have to wait until your number shows up on a screen before you can proceed to the counter. #3 Speaking Swedish helps (no, really?) Chances are you can live here for years without learning a lick of Swedish. Swedes are widely rated as world number two at English as a second language. Therefore it might take you longer to learn Swedish, and the Catch-22 is that fluency in the language is crucial to full integration. Signing up for SFI (Swedish for immigrants) could be a step in the right direction. SFI courses are offered through each local municipality’s adult continuing education program (kommunal vuxenutbildning, or komvux) so you will need to contact your local municipality. You’ll find a contact list of Sweden’s 290 municipalities here. #4 Get your shopping done before 17:00, if you can Many stores close early, especially at weekends. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a store open past ten in the evening that isn’t a petrol station. It’s worth keeping in mind that since many Swedes are done with their regular jobs around five you’ll likely be battling crowds to get your shopping done between five and half past six. #5 You will squeeze food out of toothpaste tubes To prepare you for your first visit to the cold foods section of a grocery store, understand that in Sweden, tubes are also used to package foods such as caviar, mayonnaise, mustard, and other similar condiments. At some point, you’ll probably squeeze some caviar from a tube onto half a boiled egg for breakfast. #6 You will see fathers pushing prams When it comes to equality between the sexes, Sweden is one of the leaders, and the men definitely pull their own weight in staying home and raising infant children. In Sweden, couples are entitled to 480 days of paid parental leave, and this time can be shared between parents. #7 The Swedes are an outdoorsy bunch Okay, maybe not all of them. But many. In Sweden, all year round there’s at least one activity that can be enjoyed, come rain, shine, or winter blizzard. And the government has made it easy to enjoy Sweden’s nature by giving people the Right of Public Access, Allemansrätten. #8 Many businesses shut down in July It’s not uncommon to find restaurants and stores shut down for an entire month, usually in July, while employees take their four to six weeks of holiday. #9 Lagom There is a societal code of conduct in Sweden which really has no direct translation. Loosely translated, the word lagom means ‘just enough’, ‘in moderation’, ‘appropriate’ and other synonyms you can pull out of the dictionary. When used in reference to societal behaviour, it means blending in appropriately without extreme displays of emotion. #10 Melodifestivalen – not so lagom Melodifestivalen – the national event through which Sweden’s representative at the Eurovision Song Contest is decided – unites large parts of the population. Held every February through March, it is a particularly welcome distraction on long dark winter nights. Come May, the Eurovision Song Contest is just as popular – though some Swedes prefer the ice hockey world championships, which usually coincide with the international music event. #11 Locate your nearest IKEA There are very few stores in Sweden where you can buy affordable furniture and food at the same time, so it’s definitely worthwhile locating your nearest IKEA. Many IKEA stores offer free bus services from central locations to the store and back. #12 Take off your shoes! You’ll quickly notice that shoes are taken off when entering private residences in Sweden. Some explain it with the simple fact that Swedes spend a lot of time outdoors during winter and are prone to dragging in dirt. Others say it’s a sign of respect for the home. Either way, you might want to think twice before wearing full lace-up boots when visiting folks. Swedish Eurovision winners 1974: ABBA, ‘Waterloo’ 1984: Herreys, ‘Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley’ 1991: Carola, ‘Fångad av en stormvind’ (Captured by a lovestorm) 1999: Charlotte Nilsson, ‘Take Me to Your Heaven’ 2012: Loreen, ‘Euphoria’ Source: Wikipedia #13 Winters are cold and dark It’s no secret that Sweden’s geographical location makes it prone to cold, dark winters. At the depth of winter in some northern parts of the country above the Arctic Circle, you might get as little as three hours of sunlight per day. Winters can be rough, but you’ll be rewarded during summer. Long hours of daylight and moderately warm temperatures make Sweden one of the most beautiful places to be in during May to August. #14 Be on time It is common knowledge here that ‘time’ should be respected at all times – regardless of whether you’re going for an interview or a friendly fika. Meetings will start on time with or without you. The train leaves on time with or without you. Swedes value punctuality. #15 The state-owned alcohol monopoly While you can purchase alcoholic drinks in restaurants and bars, if you’d like to take a sip from the bottle in the privacy of your own home, you’ve got only one legal option of buying stronger alcohol, and that’s from one of the roughly 400 state-run liquor stores (Systembolaget). #16 Keep that plastic bag Think twice before you toss out that plastic bag. Most Swedish grocery stores charge you for plastic or paper bags in an effort to keep waste low and encourage recycling. Swedes like to keep it sustainable #17 Special days celebrating food Sure, Swedes celebrate Christmas, Easter, Midsummer and Walpurgis Eve. But almost as important are the days celebrating foods: Shrove Tuesday (Fettisdagen), which in Sweden calls for a semla; Waffle Day (Våffeldagen) on March 25; and Cinnamon Bun Day (October 4). Feel free to gorge on said food all day long without guilt. #18 It is safe to drink the water Drinking straight from the tap is the norm in Sweden. The water is clean and fresh, so you can save both money and the environment by not buying bottled water. #19 Business casual means jeans General everyday fashion in Sweden is simple, relaxed and casual. This same concept has seamlessly seeped its way into more formal business settings. Unless your colleague is meeting foreign clients or attending a high stakes board meeting, chances are they are wearing jeans and a long-sleeved shirt. #20 Not all education and healthcare is free While the Swedish healthcare system is largely taxpayer-funded, it’s not entirely free. For routine doctor’s office visits, the maximum amount you may have to pay out of pocket for an entire year is SEK 1,100. Universities in Sweden are free for citizens of the EU/EEA or Switzerland. Since 2011, students from other countries are charged for studying at Swedish universities. The universities set their own fees, which mostly vary between SEK 80,000 and 140,000 per academic year.
  7. Have noticed a definite issue with the rankings system, there a few issues here. We have 3 nations(One applicant and Two approved members)showing the same Alliance Rank in someway in some form. The non-approved member Marshmellow should not show as a Ranking member. As shown below. He should be shown as per nation listing as ranked 106 of 105 nations not 105 of 105. (see first image) Marshmellow and Darkshire currently hold the same Alliance Rank. Darkshire is shown correctly as alliance rank 105/105 as per below in the nation page, but as seen in the top image is listed as 107/105. Somehow Buckaroon , who is shown as 105/105 on the top image here is listed as 104/105 in their nation main page. So all in all we have three nations that are all listed in some way as being ranked 105/105 in Pax :D Finally Seahawks is shown as correctly as a non-approved member(see below), however he is listed as 106/105 nations when he should be listed as 108/105 nations. Please don't take me wrong this is not a HUGE issue, however it does concern me just in case it affects other systems in the game. Any databases that hold CN information definetely have some form of counting/tracking issue and I believe it worth looking into as it might be a direct result of the new AA enrolment system. The only other thing that struck me was if two nations having the same IP could potentially make the nations have the same rank if it tracks in this way. Not being able to see the system in place I think this is as much as I can offer but look forward to hearing what the issue actually is. Thanks in advance.
  8. Very kind words from someone I have tonnes of respect for :blush: :)
  9. Many of you might come to this part of the forum and think, why do I need to join an alliance? Alliances on Digiterra serve multiple purposes: They are a community of like minded people who want to play the game in at least similar ways They are a place for new players to learn how Cybernations works, the best way to grow They are a place to ask questions, and hopefully receive a serious and honest answer They can provide a safe haven when you are new. There is safety in numbers, at least some types of safety. They are a place you can call home. So what makes a particular alliance right for you? Only you can decide what you want out of an alliance. If you are looking for a home on Digiterra that values its people, has integrity, and prefers peace over war, Pax Corvus may be just the place you want. Come visit us at http://forum.paxcorvus.info Come for the coffee, stay because it's home. **Reposted with new domain name
