  1. 1. no real reason I can think of to ruin other peoples' fun (unless someone really ticks me off here some time)
    2. after starting I'd feel "obligated" to keep it going for the months and months (years?) it'll take to deplete my WC
    3. Sarm too small

    More mergers and less protectorates. The complicated treaty web is killing the game through utter stagnation although the forces driving new players into creating new alliances as hinted at the OP is also a significant factor.

    I think you're just projecting your personal taste onto the problem. There have ALWAYS been small alliances and protectorates. There has always been a complicated treaty web (which I actually think is MORE interesting, not less). They weren't killing the game in 2007 and they aren't now.

    I'm afraid it's probably more fundamental than that. The problem is that new people will be more likely to get into some facebook game or find something on their phones. Text based online games aren't exactly where it's at. There are more options for this sort of thing than there were back then. I'm afraid the world is just getting beyond it. The ZORK franchise is pretty much dead too.

    This is how you file complaints:

    I am hitting 2 people that were almost twice my NS.

    That's a great option for people that weren't attacked while engaged in three wars and in nuclear anarchy and broke after weeks of wars. If you haven't gotten the memo yet, those people CAN'T fight back. I WANTED to fight the last week or so of the war. But thanks though. Luckily I'll just get some sleep instead.

    I don't know, all the alliances I've been in . . . if we want a war, we'll fight people that will be a good fight. I know that's crazy talk.

    :D

    I didn't say "scared," (at least not in the sense you are suggesting, as in causing any actual fear) I said "try to avoid" as in for strategic reasons.

    Attempting to avoid a particular alliance is a strategic move. Nukes, considering the amount of damage they do, are "scary" strategically speaking. Especially in TE where not everyone has them and there isn't enough time to get every wonder and SDI's are often one of the wonders overlooked for some other one, often income producing wonders for example.

    Educate me if I'm wrong. Why not attack Pork Shrimp or LE if it isn't over these strategic considerations?

    Pork Shrimp - 584 nukes. LE - 402. All the alliances that were declared on had far less. Go ahead, tell me that wasn't a factor.

    :shrug:

    I have few nukes because I've been using them.

    Look, I admit - Pork Shrimp has a ton of nukes this round. I would have tried to avoid us if I were the leader of any other alliance too. I would have hoped that PS would attack LE, thus taking out the too scary alliances.

    So you think that the only reason people weren't at war with you was because they were scared? Incredible.

    How are we not going to lose?
    [/quote]


    BECAUSE YOU ARE ATTACKING PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO MONEY AND WON'T FOR THE REST OF THE ROUND.

    Jeebus, I'm hoping for the sake of all in your alliance that this is just some sort of act you're all putting on.

    I do understand the frustration and irritation, that was half part of my own goal here. What I don't understand are the calls for us to confess to something, as if we are lying about something. BC lays it out in the first post: this is a **** move so that we can have fun at your expense.

    Finally, if you're complaining about a nuke and NS differential while sitting on 35mn, calm down. Go buy yourself some troops with that massive warchest and hit back.

    "We want war."


    THAT is the part I am pointing at. DO NOT LIE about that. If you wanted war you would not have chosen easy targets. If you wanted war you personally would not have been watching from the sidelines like a coward since the middle of October. If you wanted war you would have been fighting all this time, like the people you attacked have been doing. If you wanted war you should not have waited for six weeks and then chosen targets who have been too otherwise engaged to give you the war you claim that you want. If you wanted war you would not have waited to have a war until you found some you couldn't possibly lose.

    In general, we are strongly encouraging you and all of your alliance mates to indeed hit the aggressors and the rest of PS back. We want wars.
    [/quote]


    At least man up enough to end this ridiculous charade and admit to what you're doing. If you wanted wars you would have chosen different targets. Or waited two days when we were game.

    If you wanted wars you would not have waited and built for a month before declaring, coward. You would not have had five weeks between wars if you wanted wars.

    Nobody is buying this. Stop it.

    I'm still not sure why everyone is so angry with PS. This is TE and war is the main component of it. We're here to fight because SE is too dang slow for most of us. If you all are ticked that PS declared war on a couple of your nations, then make it an alliance-wide war. If you're afraid to expand the conflict, then counter that specific PS aggressor. Yeah it sucks that many of those targeted nations were in anarchy, but at this point of the round aren't the majority of players in a weakened state from recent wars?

    Good luck everyone and have fun
    [/quote]

    Because they all chose targets that won't be able to fight back? What's the mystery here?

    If "war is the main component of it" then they probably should have chosen targets that would make a good war. I know I would have.

    Don't know if you realized, but it's pretty tough for alliances to "expand the conflict" when they are all in anarchy. I'm sure that that's just a happy coincidence for the attackers though. Because otherwise they'd just be a bunch of opportunistic cowards. SURELY that can't be the case.

    Challenge my ass if you wanted a challenge you would have waited 2 days to allow us who were on the last days of a bloody war to get out of anarchy and Bill lock and rebuild
    [/quote]

    They didn't want a challenge. They wanted to look like they were doing something after sitting around for more than a month.

    Sad thing is if they had waited 2 more days most people would have been meh end of round chaos now they are just revealing themselves as the scared punks they are. Attacking nations still at war and in na with no wc real brave.

    Polarbear. O7

    Good War we just fought, sir. Very fair and evenly matched I think. You're a good fight. It was good to go toe-to-toe with you. YOU are not one to complain about a war just for the sake of complaining. You know "this is TE lol" and you're DEFINITELY not flag-running. Honorable.

    Something that some here don't understand, I see.

    Does Pork Shrimp really not get it, or are they just pretending to be this dense?

    You really don't know who you're speaking to if you think these words will make him afraid.
