I dont understand this one...

Are you saying that on a individual scale there is no drama? Because there is lots of drama.

wut

ALL HAIL tHE TGE!!!!!!!!

(and all hail Kaiser.)

It's like it's trying to communicate with us..

People are nation leaders. We are just nation leaders in a world where there are a total of 9,917 nations and unlimited potential for more (i.e. there is no limit to "land", etc.). That being the case, no single nation and it's leader is all that powerful.

I am sypathetic to what you are saying because personally, I tend to favor freedom over conformity. However people just aren't going to do it here. If they were, it would already be happening.

No thanks. We've got enough Micro drama as it is.

This makes no sense. The reason most of the drama is in the alliances is because it's fairly difficult to have significant drama with just yourself and most people do not want to be super politically active, which you would need to be to have drama as an individual nation. Furthermore, many are not big into nation RP'ing, it's just not their cup of tea and they derive enjoyment in CN in other, equally-valid ways (and I'm one of those people).

Been there, done that, I have existed as a one man alliance for almost 6 months before.

I would be open to it I have just started a new nation my name is Viktor Tarasenko

We already play as individual nations hence the forums here where we can all come to share out viewpoints on events.

You may not realize it but alliances are basically as you said you wanted them to be. It is groups of individuals with a common interest that binds them together and that application thing you seem to not like is basically a treaty that you sign giving your support to the betterment of the alliance as a whole. Like the academy, that you don't want to do, was designed by people who knows how to help young nations with little experience grow and become productive members of the alliance and community/

Join an alliance Knights that reflects the things you like and learn the game.

The guy has a point, I just don't think he expressed it clearly.

Building a nation should be difficult. Holding it together in times of war, keeping your citizens happy, staying in office if you're democratic, etc. is extremely difficult. Instead it's treated as if you just toss money into the air and infrastructure and wonders rain down from the sky, keeping your citizens complacent.

I could see why the past six months might make it seem as if CN drama trends towards individuals and not alliances.

I think this is much more you making a good point and then back-inferring it from his post. This isn't what he was saying, this is interesting and coherent—his post was none of those things.

Then again joining a game that's over eight years old, as a new nation, should make it pretty clear that this is much more of a long term game then what six months of observation gives you. Which is why it's best to learn from people who have actually been here for a while and can help you learn how to play the game well.

So really, if you are in, lets just say the New Sith Order, the NSO is really your nation, not the actual nations

If, after reading this post, you have to keep one thought about it in the back of your head, keep this one.

He's basically saying that alliances are the actual nations in this game, not the individual nations.

However, I like it that way. I like the idea of IRON being my nation, and I myself being a state/representative within it.

You're also too stupid to breathe so not really the best representative possible.

That totally means something coming from Neo Uruk of all people.

I wonder how different things would be if the game had developed without a feature to group nations around an in-game alliance affiliation. I think I read a while back that Admin initially intended for nations to behave as RL nations do, and not as individuals who are all sub-units of alliances that function as RL nations do.

Probably not all that different - IIRC, the creation of alliances predated the addition of an in-game alliance affiliation.
