  1. Just asking this but.....

    After 25 days of no activity (logging into the game), the Alliance Leader goes inactive, and the game looks for the nation listed as the earliest assigned Alliance Heir, if there is nobody assigned then the alliance is removed from the game and all nation(s) contained within end up with no alliance affiliation.

    This.

     

    It may be useful to some to know that, in the event that your alliance's Owner is AWOL, you can't contact them and you have no Heir, before the alliance is automatically disbanded you can try contact admin to ask for another member to be made Heir.

    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!

  11. Possible Bill calculation error after returning from inactivity

    I actually think the inactivity delay makes a bit of sense since it penalizes people who would going inactive to get out of war.  However, as jerge and Lyanna said, it is very disheartening to come back to the game and then have to destroy your nation just to get out of bill-lock and play again.  111 days of bills is way too much.

    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.

    I guess I struggle to understand how this is possible, but this is the first time I've seriously thought about this topic.  Please be patient with me. 

     

    My understanding is that:

    (1) you go inactive if you don't collect within 25 days; and

    (2) you can't collect unless your bills are paid.

     

    So he must have gone inactive for lack of collection.  Then come back, waited another 25 days, gone inactive again for lack of collection.  And then he must have repeated the process at least three more times.   Is that accurate?

    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.

    grammar, I suppose

    Is there a way that this system can be improved? I spend a lot of time trying to get people to come back to the game and it is discouraging to them when they finally agree to come back to see that they are very bill locked. It feels like the game is punishing you for wanting to play again which seems counter productive.

    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.

    Hegemony is still there though? You cut down their mid-tiers and bashed each other for about 6 months but nothing has actually changed in the grand scheme of things. You haven't reshaped any paradigm and we still live in very much the same world as before you launched your offensive

    [...] neither you nor the Hegemony met the conditions that would equate to a victory. [...]

    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.

    White peace is peace with essentially no restrictions on either side (other than a equal commitment to the end of hostilities).  Doom could very well decide to declare a brand new war at any moment of their choosing, but this would be a new conflict - and one which I would imagine would draw immediate and forceful repercussions.  I would consider this agreement to have put a closure to the existing open-ended conflict specifically with the signatories of the Herogasm coalition.  They have not, however, signed peace with anyone outside our coalition.  So that can be left for other e-lawyers to sort out.

    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.

    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! 🙂

    slightly less Vogonish now - only slightly

    «Three fronts for CN war, under the glowing sky,
    Seventeen alliances for Oculus, in their halls of stone,
    Eighteen alliances for Herogasm, doomed to fight,
    One Scheme for the Invisible Hand of CN, on his dark green throne,
    In the Land of Peace, where the Nukes die.

    One Scheme to Rule them all, One Scheme to Tame them,
    One Scheme to bring them all and in Neutrality bind them!

  25. Nation sitting questions

    1. I'm sitting Nation Wesak and was wondering the rule of fighting same nations with both. Obviously if same nation hits both of us there's is nothing I can do, but can we both attack same targets?

    2.what's rule on number of nations one person can sit?

    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.
