Salute to CCC's old friend Samwise. Will be bittersweet to be pulling against you.
I’ve warred with my friends, and I’ve warred against my friends. Sometimes warring against friends can be almost as fun as warring alongside them. I hope this is one of those times. I wish you and the rest of the CCC the best of luck. o/ -

Is the game intentionally being tanked?
It looks that way.

Definitely should be added to the war stats downloads as well as an individual search page similar to how top 100 TE nations are listed from previous rounds.
I'd also like to see the other categories tracked in the war stats instead of just destruction, and attack/defend percentage :
Soldiers Lost
Tanks Lost
Cruise Missiles Lost
Aircraft Lost
Navy Lost
Infrastructure Lost
Technology Lost
Land LostAnd navy should be added to the nation stats with the other military items.

That's the thing though. Y'all are assuming that 100% of NLoN is active. I'd be willing to bet that they're not. Honestly, who doesn't have inactives?

Who said CN doesn't give anniversary bonuses past 1 year?! HAPPY 10 YEARS CN!
On the flip side, thanks for 10 years worth of sucky SDI's. >:| I'm glad you finally decided to average it out, admin.

Now that we've legitimized Dawners by declaring war on them, I'd like to take this time to finally say

You forgot Kurdanak. That's okay. 3 days into the war and we have finally found where Kurd's being held.
The Lake of Whizdom was truly unfortunate, but hopefully we can pull Kurd away from his dance party fast enough to bring him home.
Also, those countless trophies are Kurd's "Most Aircraft Destroyed In A War" awards. One for every time I told him to quit buying so much AF, only to have him later tell me he spent all his warchest causing me to headdesk.

Here's a RL clip of me taking Monkieman around for his first nuke-o-treating, only to find out Wile didn't have a MP.
Congrats to Monkie on his first nuking! They grow up so fast!

Yes, I requested a public apology...
No, you requested that I clarify the statements that I made. I did that.
QuoteFor someone who told me they wanted the quiet TE life, you sure seem to want to get involved with the big boy feuds and take a side.
I'm not taking anybody's side. I fact checked you to get a full accounting on what was happening.

Of course it was debated whether to accept them or not but I never said I was 100% set on approving them, the goal was to consider all options and work out what was the best course of action for JL but after your message, I was fully behind leaving them off the aa.
I'm going to level with you here. I know you're not defending yourself to me, but everyone, and truthfully, you don't need to explain yourself to anyone. It was the last day of the round, emotions were high, and while yes, your first opinion was to accept the nations. But ultimately, you decided against it. And even if you hadn't, accepting them wasn't breaking any gameplay rules. So we're splitting hairs here. Even in my original statement, I said:
QuoteAnd he was all for accepting those 0 day old nations until I rallied the other gov to support me in not accepting them.
I understand, that I shouldn't never said that. I've apologized to you in private, and I'll do it again here. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said it. If I was feeling conflicted, I should've spoken to you about it. I admit that.
QuoteYou may not have dumped logs but you still secretly shared the contents of those logs and continue to now to try and protect your own credibility.
And I've apologized to you, privately and publically. I'm not saying you should accept my apology. But it's clear to me now that you acted as though you were alright with me privately, to bait me into talking to you so you could immediately share my logs. You requested that I post this thread, then basically use it to attack me. You also requested that I talk to IRON personally and clarify things. I'm not sharing content of logs to protect my own credibility, you are. I'm trying to make right here. I'm literally doing everything you asked of me.

Just to reinforce why Sam was incredibly confused to say I only supported bringing in new nations.
This is first JL leader to support Sam not using new nations
When Sam started the JL alliance, she made every alliance leader a manager so they could approve their members. New 0 day old nations started to pop up on the aa and were being accepted by unknown managers while Sam was taking them off the aa and again they were being re-accepted so I suggested she take away everyone's ability to approve members and for the remainder of the round, JL seen no more new nations join.
https://screenshots.firefox.com/yMDlKib6iPMxmlxd/discordapp.com
So I think these actions contradict that " he was all for accepting those 0 day nations" .
I don't understand why you asked me to make this thread, then come in here and attempt to discredit me by saying I'm an "incredibly confused" unreliable source. Doesn't that just make people want to not believe what I originally stated in the OP, and more inclined to believe I was somehow manipulated?
Yes, I was confused, and still am, on what happened with UN and D1's score last round. But one thing I know without a shadow of a doubt is that you were originally for accepting the 0 day old nations, and that you pressured me into agreeing to accept them, saying that we should play by their (i.e. UN's) rules. That didn't sit right with me, and you know that. We debated it back and forth throughout the day, and at one point, to satiate you, I agreed that at the end of the round, if we needed the NS boost, we'd accept the nations. Otherwise, we'd just let them remain on pending. I notice those logs aren't the ones you posted. Anyway, it ate at me the remainder of the day, because I knew that's not how I wanted to win, so in efforts to go around you, I posted the above message to all the AA leaders. That's what pressured you into agreeing with me.
QuoteI had a rant at everyone in JL for not helping to keep the playing field even, it was nothing personal, just a rant that we shouldn't have had to form JL if others got off their butts and competed fairly as the UN felt they deserved it and would go to any lengths to make sure they won it, hence reaching 69 members. How is a little criticism undermining the other JL leaders? IRON agreed they would help keep the field even and if you're trying to win, you'll naturally contribute no matter how small in number you are. This is overall healthy for the game and activity is good for memberships, it's why D1 has been strong for years now so I am not trying to undermine anyone, especially a 5 nation alliance.
If you're the boss, and you tell your workers that they have to work on Christmas, and I go to them and say they should all take the day off, that's undermining your authority.
QuoteWhat is more disappointing and disturbing is that my opinions should've been held in complete confidence whether or not Sam or anyone else agreed with them during our time together in JL, she may as well drop every log that was said by everyone. But to take words I either never said or were taken out of context to those who will stop at nothing to see D1 go down cos we're aggressive against those who use underhanded tactics is a betrayal of the highest order when I all simply done was give my support to Sam.
And nice try. I am not going to log dump any convo's that were said in private. The only logs that I've shown are my own. I never dumped any of your logs, whereas you are dumping mine in discord chats. I never gave UN or Stevie any proof that you misled me. In those logs, I even gave you the benefit of the doubt saying that you might not have known yourself. All I was trying to do was get to the bottom of what was happening, and if that's a betrayal of the highest order, then okay. Tar and feather me boys.

My prayers and thoughts are with her, her children, and your family as you all go through this. I imagine it can't be easy on any of you, and I pray that you all find peace.

This post is about 2 weeks too late, and in response to this thread, and to avoid being hit with a gravedig, I'm posting a new topic. I do apologize for how long it's taken me. I have family visiting for Christmas and New Years, and the past couple weeks I've been almost completely unavailable. I tried to read that thread in it's entirety, but admittedly to save myself some time and inevitable headdesking, I'm just going to go for it, and try to keep it short for the people like me, who are tired of reading textwalls.
This is the screenshot that apparently broke TE:
Prior to this convo with Stevie, I had spoken to HG, Das and a handful of other leaders in TE, and was trying to clear up what exactly happened with UN's score inflation after the round had ended. Some of them were just as confused as I was. It's understandable. We don't have someone who takes daily stats anymore. And I'm sure someone will come in here and debate who was wrong, and who was right, so I'll leave that to them. I don't have the energy for it, nor do I care anymore.
But this statement specifically I'd like to clarify:
QuoteBut then after Justice League is in motion, HG admits that UN would've had the award for top score fairly without inflating their stats. That threw me, because if that's true, HG either recently found out, or purposely misled me.
I've combed over every log I have, mainly to see if I somehow misunderstood HG's statements. I can't find any evidence that he said the above statement. My only conclusion is that the logs were posted in a Justice League announcement, and I have no screenshots of those. He has recently clarified to me what he meant by it, and I assume he'll do so here as well. I do apologize to him for not asking him to clarify his statements then and there.
Also, to say I was manipulated or coerced into doing anything, is unfair to HG. I'm a big girl. I can take responsibility for my actions and decisions that I made to put Justice League in motion last round. I don't think it was mistake, nor do I regret it. We have all agreed that there is something wrong with the strongest alliance award, due to it's ability to be gamed so easily. Justice League proved that, as did UN. It's clear admin doesn't care, so I would hope that we'd have come to some agreement on how to handle it going forward. Sadly, I believe it's too late for that, but maybe it's not. We did all just agree on a holiday ceasefire.
I'd also like to clarify this now that it's out in the open:
QuoteI'm learning a few things about HG's character. He used Justice League to undermine the leadership in other AA's, which I didn't appreciate. And he was all for accepting those 0 day old nations until I rallied the other gov to support me in not accepting them. For the record, no other AA leader was for accepting them.
Yes, whether it was on purpose or not, I did feel as if HG was undermining leadership in other alliances who joined Justice League. In Justice League, he was posting alliance announcements that tried to rally support for targeting UN in the future, as well as guilt tripping other alliances to follow suit. I felt that posting that for all members to see, instead of discussing that among alliance leaders who are the decision makers in their alliances, was meant to cause members to pressure their leaders into targeting UN. Again, it's entirely possible that HG didn't mean to undermine anybody's leadership.
I want to end this post with this. No, I don't believe anybody was innocent last round. Justice League felt as if 0 day old nations, who have contributed nothing to TE, should not be used to inflate alliance score to win an award. However, there is nothing in the ToS banning it, so assuming all their recruits were legit players, what UN did was legal. And by the same token, merging alliances was also legal. Some people in Justice League did recruit some people on the last day of TE, and eventually, all leaders - HiredGun included, decided that we shouldn't accept them. Accepting them would've given JL the edge they needed to overtake UN and win it, but we bowed out. If anybody's interested, these are the stats I took seconds before the game went down, where I calculated the score of everybody on UN and JL's AA, pending and approved.
We've gone down a rabbit hole here in TE, where we're focusing on who's more right, and who deserves what, and it's spiraled out of control. It's all hypocritical, and I do not wish to be part of it. No, I have no plans to target UN. And no, I will not be joining any JL that creates in the future. If anyone feels that I am deserving of any punishment for my actions or the apparent mess that I've caused, that's fine. My only request is that you focus on me, and not WD's. Of the 5 people in my alliance, for 2 of them, this is their first full round of TE, and they didn't do anything wrong. You're even free to hit me during the holiday peace pact.
Anyway, I hope that I've cleared up some things. I hope everybody's Christmas was great, and that you all have a fabulous (and safe!) New Years. Admittedly, I feel a little ashamed posting about this when Wile is asking for Christmas prayers, but it needed to be said. Take care. o/

That's good for me. I already have family coming into town, so my availability will be limited until after the holidays.

I for one welcome the New New League of Nations. Please have more alliance announcement activity, SU! o/

Considering that only the people in your alliance can actually use the alliance uploaded flags, I'd be for removing the minimum entirely.

@admin We're all pretty much in agreement that this award needs to replaced or removed. Can you weigh in here please?

We have had Infra destroyed, theres tech destroyed too, land, . Lots of things that can be used, and changed regularly. However whatever the 2 nation qualifier is needs to be something other than finishing NS.
I also think at least some individual awards should be changed from rewarding building tons of cash for a late game push, and moved towards damage output and things like that. Over a whole round instead of the BIGGEST war etc.
Most destructive war and Most bills are pretty silly awards. And you could even argue Peak NS and Land just reward hoarding 500 600 million dollars at this level of starting cash. But some would probably argue we should keep some "money" awards.
Rewarding solid building collecting and fighting throughout the entire round is what we should do to incentivize all members who are active and fighting and building a solid nation.
Its pretty simple to use Infra, Tech, Land, Soldiers, Tanks, Navy anything. And tally it up over a round.
Although something will have to be done about the numbers dropping off when opponents nations delete. Maybe its not that big a deal.
I didn't really mind the way the top NS award was given before. To me, it was more fitting that the nation that ended the tournament round with top score should win it, considering now all it's done is make it harder to hunt these flagrunners down since they can break earlier and build when it's convenient to them, leaving them without cash to finish the end of round wars. That just may be me being old fashioned though.
MDW and land are silly awards. Most land is just a spin on a money award, that slightly encourages you to raid early on to boost peak land numbers. And MDW has always been a contest of who can lower their defenses the best and let their nations be destroyed to pad stats. If we made MDW cumulative like you're saying, and track war damages all round, this award becomes better since you're less as likely to let yourself become destroyed every war you partake in, due to the rebuilding costs being so high.
I agree that even if someone deletes, those stats should remain recorded.
Here's an old suggestion thread on how to fix MDW if anybody's interested. I liked tracking the value of infra/tech/land destroyed throughout the round, since it encouraged people to updeclare, instead of making everybody raiding crazy and kill off all the micro alliances and unaligned.
But as far as the current topic at hand, I've been trying to think of how to fix the suggestion of avg NS award so every alliance doesn't throw all but their top 10 to pending status. Maybe instead of the return of the avg NS award, an avg damage dealt award? It is football season, and a popular suggestion seems to be capping alliances. Maybe do that fantasy football draft we always talked about and for one round, cap alliances at 12 members, and actually draft players. That could be fun if done right.

I have to say, being in the 69th spot almost feels as good as being in the #1 spot :v
