Mordd

I have found a grammatical error in the government position in the extended information on a nation, here is the example text from my nation: "Morddonia detains individuals who participate in the slanderous comments about the government." I have underlined the error, saying "in the" is gramatically incorrect in that its not referring to a specific incident of slanderous comments about the government (in which case it would be "participated in the") but to slanderous comments about the government in general. The word "the" should be removed so it reads simply: "Morddonia detains individuals who participate in slanderous comments about the government." Even better would be to also change the worda "comments about" to "activities against" in my opinion but thats a subjective opinion. Thanks for your time, Mordd.

My memory when I was in Grämlins at the time we/they declared on Polar was that we/they were calling it the Karma war, maybe I am mistaken but that is my honest recollection.

Thanks for the clarification LM, it seems history has indeed changed the name, my quote couldn't be truer, and this is a great reflection of that.

"The past is all that has come to pass. History is how we choose to remember it". This is a fascinating history of some of the events leading up to the Karma war, although I thought the Karma war was the one against Polar that occured earlier, but maybe history has changed this in my absence. Oh yes, I believe its "Thoughts" incidentally, not "Thoughs".

It is interesting to see the heights to which TOP have risen in recent times in member size, strength, and culture (from what I hear). TOP is truly one of the great powerhouses of the cyberverse, I only wonder if the tall poppy syndrome will come to haunt TOP as it has so many other great alliances in history, or if they can avoid this fatal trap. Only time will tell, I for one applaud their progress to date. On a more personal note, congratulations to LM, you have obviously progressed far in TOP to have reached such a position, well done.

Some things change, some always stay the same. Whilst I congralute the parties on their renewed friendship, I find it quaint that we still state the obvious in treaties like this. Yes it is true that any time a treaty signatory could make a request of another signatory, and it is also true that a signatory is not obligated to do something unless the treaty specifies that they are. That whole "old" style clause of treaties like this could really be cut down to merely "Signatories are encouraged to grant aid requests where feasible". That would not change that section one bit really. The last part of the sentence "it feels that fulfilling the request would defy the spirit of the treaty" is easily covered under being not feasible, or whatever similar word anyone wants to use. Call me a nit-picker, but I would have maybe thought that renewing such an old treaty as this would present an opportunity to do away with all the old style legal clauses and express it in more true terms that demonstrate the fact that without trust and friendship agreements like this wouldn't exist anyway, so a lot of the actual clauses become somewhat reduntant in that case, the one I highlight being a prime example in my opinion. I would point to the Härmlins agreement signed by Grämlins and MHA last year as an example of two alliances that have been friends for a long time renewing a treaty in a more realistic and imaginative way than just repeating the old tired wording with minimal tweaking. <insert random 2 cents statement here>

You now open up a method for any enemy to attack part of the alliance that the majority of you won't be able to directly defend, instead having to rely on Härmlin and nations in MHA in range of The Hive nations. No-one will run a protectorate better than The Grämlins will, of that I have no doubt, but I do predict that time will show this will ultimately be the undoing of the alliance in the end, whether it be from the outside or from the inside. *grammar fix

This is complete and utter BS for the record.

boredom

The Karma War its accurate to a tee and its a catchy name too, hands down winner imho.

I request the GRL be permanently uncapped from the level of 5 as the maximum effect on the game and allow it to apply the effect no matter how high the GRL goes. Time to make nukes a valuable resource again. edit: lmao beaten to the punch, shoulda read more than the OP before posting, but great minds think alike and all that hehehe

Too awesome for words, MHA are the

Admin announced the winner of CN:TE rounds 2 and also round 3 would be allowed to submit a flag design to be included in both CN and CN:TE, don't suppose they will be allowed to submit a custom drop down mask as well? Although i'm guessing probably not, seeing as you mention its for Sanctioned Alliances only and the masks will be replaced as who is Sanctioned changes, although it would be very cool for Admin to extend the CN:TE prize to include this as well! Will be interesting to see how much ghosting goes on with this also, could really liven the place up more again lol.

Grats to VE!! Can't wait to see the video you use. Looking forward to seeing it Sir Paul.

The answer to both 1 and 2 is that the game is run on the KISS method, and a large portion of us don't give 2 hoots if the realism is a tad off tor the purpose of game play, as long as its logical enough for those without detailed knowledge of every single naval vessel ever made in the history of naval warfare
