The Amazing Sanction Race

Recommended Posts

:popcorn:

Ok kiddies, listen up.

I thought of making a speshul topic, but what the hell, this really makes sense here.

Get out the popcorn!

MASH-Vanguard "Hiroshima Competition"

There will be 5 divisions that we will compete in:

1. Nation Strength (biggest gainer)

2. Average Nation Strength (biggest gainer)

3. Infrastructure Growth (biggest gainer)

4. Technology Growth (biggest gainer)

5. Nukes (biggest gainer?)

How do you win?

You must emerge victorious in 3/5 of the areas, doesn't matter which area. Competition ends January 1st, 2009 CN time.

What do you win?

IF Vanguard wins: BF buys Vanguard a super deluxe pizza with garlic bread and MASH donates 9 million pixel dollars to a nation(s) of our choosing (in our alliance duh lol)

IF M*A*S*H wins: I sing the teapot song in the 'amazing saction race thread' and donate 9 million pixel dollars to a nation(s) of your choosing.

M*A*S*H

NS: 3,538,732

Avg NS: 21,844

Infra: 707,013

Tech: 125,335

Vanguard

NS: 2,099,350

Avg NS: 33,860

we gained 30 'members', I bet it'll be tough to beat our gain, even if almost all of them are at near-zero strength.

CB had 23 members, all of which are WAY over zero-strength. Several of them are stronger than what were once our strongest members. ;>_> I think we stand a damn good chance if everyone hops the Fap Fap Train before update.

Please dont.

And no, if we wanted a sanction more than we wanted just members we think improves our community, we would have worked for a sanction, and we would have reached it a long time ago.

Haha - so wait - are you saying I wouldn't be a quality member? :unsure:

Just playing with ya man - I had no intentions of leaving Gre

The system is stupid anyway, this isn't abusing it anymore than winning a senate seat is. Ghosts are a legitimate problem in the game that need to be dealt with by the alliances not admin.

how might you recommend we deal with these Ghosts? They are in peace mode, so even threats of war will do nothing, even sanctioning would do nothing as they obviously don't care about the good of their nations

Two quick announcements:

  1. I would sincerely appreciate it if people refrained from attacking each other in this thread. Go get some other thread locked, because I like my 540-page monstrosity.
  2. Short of an statement from admin regarding TOP's Voxghost issue, all statistics for the Sanction Race shall be taken directly from in-game information. Few alliances are exempt from ghosting issues, and while a coordinated ghosting spree is far from common, this thread shall take its data from what is given in reality, and not from anyone's subjective views of what is right or wrong.

(EDIT) I will be posting update within the next hour and a half.

I have no recommendation on how you deal with them, I imagine if you're patient they'll leave when they're done. Admin made the sensible choice.

Vox is going to be using their AA for months and months if they plan on keeping GGA down. Once they leave the AA GGA gets their sanction back. It's a pretty low move considering GGA's extravagant slow growth and extraordinary growth from people like GPA, NpO, and TOOL.

We all know GGA will lose it sooner or later. Messing around with TOP's accomplishments is just BS and I hope admin realize this or talks to a TOP representative about the issue. This is an abuse of the system.

Commentary

The Order of the Paradox possesses more than 200 members as of update tonight, statistically moving into line for a sanction and knocking the Grand Global Alliance into 13th. Due to the relatively small nature by which they hold onto this 200 number, and the controversy surrounding their current status, the Add and Drop Lines will be pegged at 12.05 and 11.75 until the situation stabilizes. Nevertheless, we must welcome the Random Insanity Alliance back into the race, after making us feel jealous by leaving for a few days.

Also of note today is the loss by Ragnarok, more than a quarter point for two days running, although they were nearly edged out for the Biggest Loser prize by the Viridian Entente. The race between Sparta and the Mostly Harmless Alliance heats up again, with less than half a point separating the 4th and 5th placed alliances. FOK and The Phoenix Federation continue a duel of their own, sitting less than a tenth of a point apart. The New Polar Order and The Order of Light keep up with each other today, neither one letting the other move away too quickly. The Green Protection Agency, for its part, dropped a tenth of a point today, dropping well back of the other two.

The Democratic Order manages to hold even today, one day after a gigantic loss sent it falling backwards. Valhalla also managed to spring back today, gaining more than a tenth of a point after a sharp loss of their own yesterday. Invicta drops another tenth of a point today, while M*A*S*H and the Mushroom Kingdom pull ever closer to each other.

Net Gains By Colour

Orange (+1.06)

Red (+0.20)

Black (+0.17)

White (+0.06)

Purple (+0.05)

Maroon (+0.03)

Blue (-0.04)
