3 open slots preferred but not required. Experienced sellers preferred. If you have the FAC wonder you are eligible for 4.5m/100tech deals. If not, you can still do the 6m/150tech deals, and the 3m/100 deals. PM me in game or query on IRC if interested.

I've been in continuous war for a month and a half, eating around 35-40 nukes, and launching around 100. [IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c278/proc_/stats.png[/IMG]

I blew 9 of my last 10 nukes against SDI, all of which were the only nuke I had at the time.

You caught us the day most of our offensive wars expired.

The nation of Cogitine celebrates her 2,000,000th casualty, the rumor is that her soldiers were approaching pension age, and that sending them all to die in battle would resolve the budget crisis.

Allies, comrades aside, and enemies aside, Polar just demonstrated for the n+1th time it's inability to follow through on any decision it makes. To your enemies, this unpredictability can be an asset, but when you show that same unpredictability to both your allies and your comrades, they start to consider you a dangerous liability. To Polaris, thank you for the object lesson, and have fun on your vacation to Venus.

WWWTF it is.

DICE getting rolled?

Krack, do you need help finding this?: http://www.cybernations.net/declarewar_form.asp?Nation_ID=189979&bynation=163159 You might have to wait a couple days, this ride is so awesome there's a hell of a line, I hear people are camping out even!

[quote name='Templar' date='31 January 2010 - 11:49 PM' timestamp='1265003360' post='2149833'] When did honoring treaty commitments become bandwagoning? Bandwagonning would be if they came in with no treaties because they were guaranteed victory, not because they have treaty partners currently engaged in warfare due to a pre-emptive strike with no CB attached. [/quote] TSO did not make a pre-emptive strike, we declared in support of our allies in TOP.

Hello OSA, any more people come looking for some TSO love and we might have to start selling our defensive war slots

o/ OTS, Let's get smashed then start bashing!

[quote name='kerschbs' date='31 January 2010 - 02:07 AM' timestamp='1264925252' post='2147145'] Thats actually pretty funny. I don't know if I've seen success like that before. I won't talk trash, I expect a solid fight from TSO and your top nations are beasts. I look forward to a healthy green glow. [/quote] Welcome to the war. and it happens every 125 wars or so.

[quote name='popsumpot' date='31 January 2010 - 02:00 AM' timestamp='1264924842' post='2147133'] Your efforts to appear tough would be a lot more successful if you didn't hopelessly outnumber your opposition. [/quote] I wouldn't call the situation hopeless. We are outnumbered, but our ratio of damage done to damage taken is significant.

A note to CnG, you may want to upgrade your SDIs: [img] http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c278/proc_/CnGSDIFail.png[/img] that's right 3 nukes 3 hits

(OOC) True neutral (force of nature variety, NOT the maintaining balance variety, NOT the hippy variety) Which is to say I don't really care about other people's definitions of good and evil(where I fall on this scale depends only on whether you ask an ally or an enemy), and I use both law and chaos to achieve my ends. So it may be more accurate to say I'm Chaotic when up against an opponent with a bigger power base, and lawful when set against a less powerful opponent(this is true for virtually everyone). I assert very few rights, have even fewer goals, and absolutely refuse to compromise them. When the goals of others can be achieved without compromising my own, I'll help them. If their goals conflict my own, I'll change their minds or otherwise eliminate that threat(If people are unable to understand your goals, there's no point in trying to justify yourself, so you have to manipulate or divert them). To sum it up: I am a straightforward ally and a devious enemy, which you end up as depends as much on circumstance as intent.

Consistency is important. The prime CB (The CB posed as the reason for the first DoW on the CN forums) is not as important as your own alliance's reason for entering the war, as an alliance should not accept terms until it's own reasons for entering the war are resolved. If you entered war to support an ally, you should stay until that ally gets peace from those you are fighting. In short, you should know why you are waging war, and not compromise that reason. People don't enter war just because some stranger did something stupid to some other stranger, they do it because they have a direct interest in it, be it by having strong ties to their allies, by fearing or holding a grudge against part or all of the opposing side, by wanting to profit from loot or reparations, or even by being bored out of their skulls and wanting to boost activity.

Just because you might be willing to keep selling tech over 5k infra doesn't mean it's a good idea, it's not even a good idea to accept any free aid but tech.

You fail at statistics. As of this post there are 9615 nations over 15k NS, and 15,921 nations under 15k NS, but NS isn't really a good measure of when you should start buying tech, infra is, and right now the median infra is under 2000, where people should generally start buying tech at twice that. Even if you assume all the buyers have 6 aid slots and all the sellers 5, that shifts the aid slot balance point to 2510 infra which is still about 1500 infra below where you should start buying tech. The only reason tech prices are as they are is due to effort and activity. Any seller willing to get on IRC regularly can fill their slots with 50/3m deals, any buyer willing to message people in game can fill their slots with 3m/100 deals, and any buyer or seller posting on forums can land a 6m/150 deal. Whenever my reliable tech sellers start buying, I usually pay one or two of their sellers for a round of tech on their behalf.
