Maybe I should spend this post to talk about the largest elephant in the room for CN right now and before you ask, it’s not the micro alliance drama or the hegemony of NPO/Oculus/CN Loominarty but this: Why are the rates for tech so crappy? Now before you guys start throwing pixel nukes at me or anyone else let me tell you something that I have observed from snippets of my early days here on Planet Bob: Before all of this, sellers usually sell tech for a while until their infra is enough to produce money enough to fill a 5 or 6 slots of tech payments within 10, 20 or even 30 days. Once they graduate from this, they proceed to start buying tech and hope that they have enough to buy those wonders that only tech selling peasants like me could ever dream of before the once-or-twice-every-year-war happens and somehow they lose most or sometimes all their tech and infra depending on which alliance they are fighting in. And some nations go down in CN history to become one the largest nations here on the planet and become the infamous upper tier of many alliances and one even managed to reach the very top of the ladder: the “eternal” nation ruled by CubaQuerida. Now in this present day and age, I and many prospective rulers who desired to become one of the infamous upper tier nations, are now stuck in tech selling boredom not because we were forced to, but because even if we bought at today’s rates, it would all vanish like the wind once the planet falls into a global war and the vicious cycle of rebuying and losing tech would continue unabated. How the hell did this even start? What started this stupid idea that it would be for the best of smaller nations to sell at these hopeless 6/100 rates and even 9/100? Why is it that only 9/300, 9/200 and 6/200 rates only occur on the larger alliances (to the best of my knowledge)? Don’t the smaller nations realise that these currents rates will sentence them to this vicious cycle until the apocalypse of Planet Bob? If this isn’t the biggest elephant in the room, then what is? I’ll end my complaint here, and let those who believe they have better knowledge of politics to ponder why all of this started.

'Tis be the season of war....again
