Incomprehensible Filth

Or we all really want to bug Doppelganger.

"We haven't had a war in ages"

"These wars never end, they are so boring"

"We haven't had a war in ages"

"These wars never end, they are so boring"

Congratulations on being able to point out two opposing opinions in a game containing tens of thousands of players, very clever. I don't understand why you did it however, as simply saying 'these guys have a differing opinion' does nothing to refute either argument, but it looks as though you've already chosen it as your stock reply of choice to anyone who says they are bored by a world with CnG near the top, so whatever.

"We haven't had a war in ages"

"These wars never end, they are so boring"

Those two are very inter-related. Since nations are so large and it takes a lot to defeat them, destroy their warchest, and remove them as a threat, wars are death matches which last months on end with crippling terms to boot. And since everyone knows what will happen to you if you declare war and your support disappeared (see preceding sentence), people are very unlikely to declare war unless they're certain that they'll have the support to win - not an easy thing to do when you have to factor hundreds of alliances and (dare I say it?) probably a thousand treaties into account.

Maybe you and Zbaldwin, perhaps, but the rest of those people don't strike me as the OWF type.

Yeah there's like some sort of GD alliance forming festival going on right now.

Coming up next:

A flurry of treaty announcements that will make the treaty web even more of a mess than it is right now.

EDIT: Also, just to be clear....not kidding.

I don't think the answer is less alliances, it is MORE alliances. Wouldn't it be exciting if there were whole power structures completely independent of each other?

Coming up next:

A flurry of treaty announcements that will make the treaty web even more of a mess than it is right now.

EDIT: Also, just to be clear....not kidding.

Coming up next:

A flurry of treaty shredding announcements that will throw a wrench into the messy treaty web, making it a headache to actually be able to tell who is on who's side.

Then the DoWs hit...

It is still happening.
