@Maelstrom Vortex wasn't allowed to post this?? JFC NPO is cruel.
When my Emperor posts, I post. Be not concerned, I am not offended, but I appreciate the sentiment and care for my sense of pride and appreciation of my species. -

Are you sure? Are we going to go through this again? Don't you remember last time, when you thought yourself so high and mighty? Do we really want to have a detailed discussion again of just how exactly you got where you are?
Does it involve your endless cup of bitter tears and whining? Sure.. a drink can make up for the lack of food.

Except I've been very relevant when people aren't hiding behind doves. Lots of other people fighting wars against my friends are finding out how relevant I am as well. -

I am not sure how you get this from what I said. It is trivial to stagger someone and prevent their escape. It doesn't speak to me being particularly amazing (not that I'm not), but rather, the abject failure of our opponents to perform the most basic of warfighting efforts expected of a numerically superior foe.
It's not my fault you're too small to eat. -

It's not up to me but you never raided our friends and allies. You never threatened us. You didn't have an open declaration of war against us. So I think our focus will remain on DBDC, sorry. You'll just have to be patient as an immortal surely you have practice in that.
I also have practice with hunger. I want noms dammit. FEED ME.

See Smitty they're going to pretend
A few of those have already fought and have been rebuying nukes. They'll be back soon.
Others are waiting for their turn on DBDC. That's why over half of DBDC is in peace mode lol. Bet no one ever thought they'd see that 😂
I look forward to more dining then. Or perhaps you could have them come after me.. that'd be a nice change of pace. -

I was top 10 in casualties when I left this world.
Now I’m back, smooth as a baby’s bottom.

And yet.. you get no casualties.. in peace mode. -

I mean, yeah dude, fly strong cause that works just as well. May your scales continue to shine in the sun of whatever dragon....I dunno, I don't role play.
Well.. you started to try.. I'll give you half-credit for the effort. Also, more propaganda than RP, but it's a bit of a mix. -

Yeah okay, whatever you say dude.
I'm quite serious. Check my updated reply. I added evidence for you. -

At least I am actually fighting. You haven't declared a single war, despite being at war with 7 different alliances.
HAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHA... umm.. dude.. I helped put one of your peers at TOP 7 SMALLEST NATION GAINS this past week. Damn you really don't keep up do you? But.. that's okay. You've already proven you're clueless.
Go ask Ilyria which ghost he fought that helped lay him low then.. I'm sure he can tell you.

1 nuke from Jerel can wipe out 17,000 infrastructure. So yeah, we aren't going to allow him to have free reign over our top tiers. Get over yourselves.
Then stop whining about people who take different methods to achieve the same effect. You hide from the light of the sun and you fear your pixels being burned just as much as they do.
Captain Obvious your cape his showing.
Lord Hypocrite, your pot is as black as your kettle.
You aren't allowed to complain about stat preservation via Method One, while still participating in stat preservation via Method Two.

Maelstrom, the fact of the matter is that if anyone in the RFD Coalition cared what you or the Hegemony thought, we wouldn't be in this situation. You take this game WAYY too seriously. You take yourselves WAYY too seriously. My post was designed to prove a point. My point being that while CLAWS' leaders are on the forums congratulating themselves and boasting about how they have the #3 spot in the rankings, all the while their members are getting curb stomped, in the middle of a global war where rankings and statistics change daily. I singled him out because he is the perfect example of not knowing the what f*ck they are doing despite playing CN since 2007. You would think that someone who has played for 15 years would know how to actually play the game, but apparently not. I understand that Jazzy was trying to troll us and specifically Canik with this post. It wasn't funny though.
This all goes to show how terrible CLAWS truly is. Their leadership is inept. They are all bark and no bite. They want us to fear them because of how big they are and how many political connections they have. During the 2 years of peace time that FTW had before this war, we absolutely trounced CLAWS in all of the rankings. We had 200k more tech than them at one point. Let's not forget how terrible WC really is. After all she did disband an alliance that was about to be dogpiled just to avoid being dogpiled.
CLAWS goes to great length to try and show people how amazing they are but when it really matters, they show just how inept they are. These are the same people that would encourage their members to leave and join Doom so that they could raid alliances and then leave and rejoin CLAWS afterwards all the while saying "he he he he, we aren't Doom." Yet, when Doom gets attacked by actual opponents then they go all in and say "We have been part of Doom since the beginning". So which is it? Are they Doom or aren't they?CLAWS is a shell of an alliance. They are put on a big show and then when it actually matters, they fall flat on their face.
CN is meant to be played how the players wants to play it. While I acknowledge that there are unwritten rules on gameplay, this game doesn't have any real rules besides the terms of service.
Stop taking yourselves so f*cking seriously and just enjoy this global war that we have created. Casualties are the only thing that matters. Whomever has the most casualties by the time admin turns the lights off, wins the game.
It's hard to enjoy a war.. or take your comments on what constitutes a good or bad alliance seriously, when just about everyone is cuddling white doves amidst a global conflict...
Tell me, what is the difference between being disbanded.. and being non-participatory in conflict when it comes to this world? FTW is just as hollow as the peer it rakes.

For someone to have been playing since 6/9/2007 to only have 8,283 attacking casualties is absolutely pitiful. 148 Army XP with 8,283 attacking casualties? Yeah, no. 145 XP with every other branch, yeah no. This nation is 15 years old and they only have $777 million dollars. They have been in CLAWS since the beginning. This speaks VOLUMES! CLAWS is so f*cking pathetic. Congrats you took the #3 spot, you're members are getting rolled while you give yourselves self congratulations.
And here I thought we Pacificans were supposed to be the elitist jerks. I don't know what you're trying to achieve here, but I guarantee you it made you no friends and bought you a ton of enemies. I will feel much less bad for watching FTW burn. Thank you for cleansing my conscience of the burden of thinking you folks may have just been nice players trying hard who got a bad rap. Now I will feel justice done.. if at the very minimum.. you get cratered into being unrecognizable so you are in the same shoes as the person you shame... minus.. a boatload of casualties. Cling to those though.. it will be all you have left once we are done.
This assuming most of your people in range of us ever leave peace. (What's left of them.) -

This feels like a self roast. We played the leader board game, achieved it, held it as long as we wanted, got bored with it, and said let's have some fun with the pixels. If you want to brag about taking our #3 seat after we set it out to the curb for you then congrats? Others prefer just sitting atop the pixel leaderboard until Planet Bob's last days but that is not that enticing.
Well.. in my case.. I made a literal promise to do just that to FAN a very long time ago when I was a wee small hatchling. I just haven't done this without fighting or sending aid. Sadly I missed out on fighting another dragon tonight because one of my peers got a little trigger happy. No worries though, the opposed dragon will fall from the sky just the same. My brother wanted Glory, he gets glory. -

I'm quite happy with my leadership, they did something in a world that's been stagnant for years. I'm quite unhappy with NPO for having not 1 iota of respect for all we've been through together to at least give us the courtesy of a post-war cancellation. That's on you.
I'd really like to hear your response to my simple logic post. I think this is a treaty order issue on the end of your leadership.
MDoAP vs ODP... you ask us to attack a defense treaty partner. We say no.
You go ahead and attack defense treaty partner. They ask us to protect. Either we say yes... or our oDP treaties aren't worth the paper written on... so we say yes.
You literally auto-triggered your own demise by putting us in a corner where our integrity or your welfare was at stake... and no.. we're not going to tell an ODP member we're going to stand a side while an overly ambitious oAP member wrecks them. You violated our trust by trying to force us into a position where we'd have to violate our own treaty integrity. Reap the whirlwind of your own design. -

How does tossing aside your longest MDoAP partner to honor an ODP work in the Dragon Brain of yours? Is this a good or a bad thing?
A Defense pact always takes priority over an aggression pact when aggression or defense are optional and you fired first. Now enjoy the consequences of your actions. If we hadn't upheld the ODP it'd have called into question any other ODP we would have made before or after it. You shouldn't have tested it. It was a strategic miscalculation on your coalition's part. That is how it calculates.
In my eyes it is a good thing. It shows we will uphold our ODPs in the face of OAPS.. to do so otherwise would have called into question their integrity. OAPs require a level of trust in the other party that they will not exploit the OAP against your own defense pact members. Your coalition has violated that trust.
Is this simple logic unsound anywhere? -

Combat... When you have 170k tech vs their 70k and you're 6 vs 1 it must be pretty boring and one sided. Unfortunately conversation is the only thing that may give you emotions now.
I'm not blaming you of course, it's the war system that's horribly wrong (and always has been).
Seeing the crazy numbers it puts up is kind of cool. I know it's one sided so I'm not gonna gloat much.. Prefer to think of it as sort of a statistical fireworks display. And yeah, if this were Stellaris or something I'd feel 10 times more jubilant. -

I’ve actually fought wars, accumulated casualties, lost and won conflicts. For someone who claims to enjoy war I feel like you should be jealous of us.
On this count.. you are correct. But I also know what a war involving me means which is almost unprecedented destruction at this point. I am proud of my pixels, because of who put them there, and the purpose they serve, and the patient work of putting it there. When will they serve said purpose? Your guess is as good as mine.

I'd vote Evility, Jerel, and myself. We've literally taken some of the most powerful nations in the game and gutted them within days, if by proficient you mean sheer destructive force.
