Now commencing update.

True enough. Expect it, then.

I suppose I could, but I forewarn you it will not be fancy in the slightest.

If someone will perhaps teach me the infernal spreadsheet contraption, I would be willing to do it around 9:00 CST most days.

Hm. Good luck in your new endeavor.

An interesting way to go down shooting.

I have this distinct feeling that someone is doing it wrong.

On the contrary, the Global Radiation Level has been fairly reasonable of late.

For the love of God, how do you manage to pull that off? I can barely keep five trades for a week.

Does anyone have update?

For the past few months I have been doing a monthly update.

I thought I would do one of these to see how much each alliance had changed over the course of the month, as a fun sort of thing. 1 New Pacific Order: 68.22 --> 72.56 (+4.34) 2 Independent Republic of Orange Nations: 54.90 --> 57.64 (+2.74) 3 New Polar Order: 46.52 --> 44.91 (-1.61) 4 Multicolored Cross-X Alliance: 38.03 --> 41.94 (+3.91) 5 Sparta: 33.70 --> 36.09 (+2.39) 6 Mostly Harmless Alliance: 33.07 --> 35.85 (+2.78) 7 Orange Defense Network: 28.60 --> 29.92 (+1.32) 8 Ragnarok: 26.65 --> 27.79 (+1.14) 9 Fark: 25.16 --> 27.59 (+2.43) The Order of the Paradox: 23.66 --> 26.41 (+2.75) 10 Grand Global Alliance: 24.05 --> 24.22 (+0.17) 11 FOK: 22.02 --> 24.13 (+2.11) 12 The Phoenix Federation: 20.31 --> 21.48 (+1.17) ----------------- The Grämlins: 18.64 --> 20.43 (+1.79) 13 Viridian Entente: 19.06 --> 19.98 (+0.92) Mushroom Kingdom: 15.03 --> 18.33 (+3.30) 14 The Order of Light: 17.16 --> 17.72 (+0.56) 15 United Purple Nations: 17.10 --> 17.14 (+0.04) 16 Nueva Vida: 16.67 --> 17.13 (+.046) Echelon: 16.22 --> 16.96 (+.074) 17 Green Protection Agency: 15.08 --> 16.79 (+1.71) 18 Global Democratic Alliance: 14.09 --> 15.11 (+1.02) 19 Monos Archein: 16.99 --> 15.09 (-1.90) Valhalla: 13.13 --> 14.38 (+1.25) North Atlantic Treaty Organization: 13.92 --> 13.58 (-0.34) 20 The Democratic Order: 12.33 -->13.13 (+0.80) 21 Random Insanity Alliance: 12.52 --> 13.10 (+0.58) League of Small Superpowers: 12.36 --> 12.66 (+0.30) 22 Invicta: 12.11 --> 12.59 (+0.48) 23 The Legion: 11.15 --> 12.37 (+1.22) The Templar Knights: 12.46 --> 12.12 (-0.34) World Task Force: 11.61 --> 11.90 (+0.29) RnR: 11.61 --> 11.58 (-0.03) Confederacy of Imperial States: 11.89 --> 11.18 (-0.71) ----------------- Add Line: 10.16 --> 10.74 (+0.58)----------------- M*A*S*H: ??? --> 10.70 24 North Atlantic Defense Coalition: ~9.85 --> 10.59 (+~0.74) Greenland Republic: 11.18 -->10.50 (-0.68) -----------------Drop Line: 9.86 --> 10.44 (+0.58)----------------- Biggest Gainer New Pacific Order: 68.22 --> 72.56 (+4.34) Biggest Loser Monos Archein: 16.99 --> 15.09 (-1.90) Passes of the Month The Order of the Paradox passes Grand Global Alliance The Grämlins passes Viridian Entente Mushroom Kingdom passes Green Protection Agency Mushroom Kingdom passes Echelon Mushroom Kingdom passes Nueva Vida Mushroom Kingdom passes Monos Archein Mushroom Kingdom passes United Purple Nations Mushroom Kingdom passes The Order of Light Nueva Vida passes Monos Archein Echelon passes Monos Archein Green Protection Agency passes Monos Archein Global Democratic Alliance passes Monos Archein Valhalla passes North Atlantic Treaty Organization The Democratic Order passes League of Small Superpowers The Democratic Order passes The Templar Knights The Democratic Order passes Random Insanity Alliance League of Small Superpowers passes The Templar Knights Invicta passes The Templar Knights The Legion passes Greenland Republic The Legion passes RnR The Legion passes World Task Force The Legion passes Confederacy of Imperial States The Legion passes The Templar Knights M*A*S*H passes Add Line M*A*S*H passes Greenland Republic Add Line passes M*A*S*H North Atlantic Defense Coalition passes Add Line North Atlantic Defense Coalition passes Greenland Republic Add Line passes North Atlantic Defense Coalition Add Line passes Greenland Republic Commentary by Adrian LaCroix For the most part, July was a month of growth. Notable exceptions are New Polar Order, with 1 and 6 tenths points of score loss, and Confederacy of Imperial States, which finishes up a second straight month of loss with 7 tenths of a point of score. The biggest loser award, however, goes to Monos Archein, with 1 and 9 tenths points of score loss. Most sanctioned alliances put together very respectable gains this month, culminating in the absolutely huge gain by New Pacific Order, gaining more than 4 and 1/3 points in score. Mushroom Kingdom and The Legion went on something of a passing spree, while Monos Archein and The Templar Knights fell in the rankings. Congratulations go to M*A*S*H and North Atlantic Defense Coalition for joining the race. Please bring any mistakes to my attention: I had my wisdom teeth cut out this morning, and I am tired and on painkillers.

Notable exceptions being The Phoenix Federation, with almost 3 and 1/3 points of score loss, and Confederacy of Imperial States, which suffered a loss of almost 1.4 in score. Good positive growth for most sanctioned alliances, especially Independent Republic of Orange Nations, which gained more than 2.8 points in score, and New Pacific Order, also gaining almost 2.8 points. United Purple Nations also put in an impressive gain at just under 2.7 points. Congratulations go to Green Protection Agency, who are recovering well after their relatively recent war, as well as Greenland Republic and The Legion for joining the race. This is my first time doing this sort of thing, so please bring any mistakes to my attention.

I had a good and a bad event, which essentially leaves me at -$2 income. I certainly dislike the implementation of events, as I was glad to see them gone to begin with. I fully intend to pay bills and collect taxes only when absolutely necessary.

I may try my hand at it if no one else has by 9:00. Edit: Update is forthcoming, then... It may take me a while.
