  1. I never remember if it's supposed to be tick or til or tok or tock, and Hakai is never there when I need him. On a lighter note, I learned to talk and think of secondary resources, in that way it's just about energy. So, I guess that - tik ta-tock ti-tick tok - with a bit of energy resourceful day will soon be coming.
  2. I told you so, ES. (Don't make me feel Prophet again please, I'm not theist and I dislike the sensation.)
  3. I don't know how else to reply to your intelligent post other than thanking you for it.
  4. If him not answering is the answer, he already answered to that one too, infidel.
  5. Hello Meth, it's been a long time! I'm glad to see that you're still around and well. Other than "have fun" I obviously have no advice to offer to a veteran that never needed any help to make their own, original mistakes. Keep it light!
  6. I can get behind delaying the ability to declare war, even delaying the ability to send aid, but why on earth delay the ability to receive aid? It can't be exploited in any way and it's just going to add to the frustration of being bill-locked. It's not accurate. (1) You go inactive if you don't log in, not if you don't collect taxes (it used to be so but it was changed several years ago). (2) You can collect regardless of you being up to date with your bills, but "if you do not pay your bills for 20 days you will begin to accrue a bill avoidance fee on your income tax collections of 20% at 20 days plus 2% per day after that." This means that at 60+ days your collection should be zero, however it doesn't say that you can't perform the collection itself. (I've never tested it myself and I don't know of others having done it.) #1 Alone explains how one can owe 111 (or any number) days of bills, anyway.
  7. Well this is most probably a restriction we can do without.
  8. The feature was likely introduced to avoid that one could exit bill-lock by exploiting inactivity. In this case it wouldn't be difficult to get out of bill-lock, Catface needs only dump some infra, which is easily bought back at their level. Alternatively they can be aided out of it. I however agree that this feature should be adjusted to be more in line with the current game dynamics. Nowadays basically every active player has loads of cash, if Catface had their bills reduced to their current treasury they would still be at a disadvantage (which is the point of not having people exploit inactivity for economic reasons) while still being able to play the game. With that said, I'm heading to my foreign aid screen.
  9. I hope this is satire. Nothing bad if it's not, but truly great if it is. On topic, shoo you infidels. This tilde uppercase lowercase alternated callout tilde will not avail you.
  10. Thank you for your kind thoughts but there's absolutely no way that I'll ever have the time for the CN Wiki.
  11. Happy New Year! I'll have a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster for you Hitchhikers. Or two. (If it were 2009 and I had as much free time as I did back then, I'd probably still be in the MHA.) (I still have my Heart Of Gold towel... it's a bit worn out, but also as lethal as ever against mosquitos, as comfy as ever on the beach.)
  12. I like BiPolar 2 as the one that makes more sense with the political shift happening during the war. I'd go without the Electron part, primarily because the man already has a big enough ego... but OK.
  13. If options "BiPolar 2: Electron's Boogaloo" and "BiPolar 2" combined end up having the highest vote count, the winner should be whichever of the two got the most votes.
  14. I have no horse in this race but an hegemony that doesn't crush their opponents isn't an hegemony anymore, which is a new paradigm. Please note, my point isn't that they're not an hegemony anymore, it's that your reasoning doesn't seem entirely sound. That a side would be significantly stronger if things were different doesn't really mean that they're stronger. BTW, I have no opinion on the Hegemony being still hegemonic or not, I'm simply too little informed about all of this. It's that I hold you at higher standards than most. Hey I do wash up! (Your reasoning on that matter seems sounds to me BTW, and I hold you too at higher standards than most.)
  15. For what counts, I think you're correct. Two considerations: one, as far as I can remember the doom people casually raided before and after their "open DoW", I'm not sure that they bothered about form. If they then come/came to change their attitude, it's more a cultural shift then a legal thing. Second, almost in 2023 I'm baffled that people in the DBDC raid zone still keep soldiers at all. I once thought that, well before this time, it would have become just common sense to tweak one's stuff not to be a profitable target (or, prey). It's probably more fun this way? I don't really know.
  16. While I do like to take credit regardless, and to pointlessly talk about myself over and over and over, in this case I just relayed an announcement that had been written by others, and with the approval of literally everyone but me (obviously I'm neutral on the subject!) Congrats on the well earned and deserved peace, everyone. ooc: I was asked to post it and I gladly did it. Healthy fun > everything else, the heavens know how each and every one of us needs and deserves some more smiles in their lives. Congratulations to all for having your days back in your full control, and thanks for having kept it funny and clean, interesting and entertaining. There's a lot of talk about old times having been "much better", I'd rather say that CN is much more a friendly environment today than... basically ever. Onward to become even better, (and to be) friends! 🙂

  19. 1. Definitely not. 2. I don't think there's a hard cap, probably not too many though, decided on a case by case basis. Only my guess.
  20. Just wait for @The Big Bad to get on here... (inb4 jokes on who's Emperor, etc. 😆)
  21. AFAIK you could still have your old nation back, but you'll have to delete/let go inactive your new nation first. If you can, grab the attention of @admin.
