What does our wonder setup have to do with you offering econ assistant to FIST? I really have no idea how come WD's name keeps getting brought up every thread when it has absolutely nothing to do with us.

Hahahaha I'm pretty sure you're more obsessed with WD than anybody else in TE. We see you over there making eyes at us.

We were in the middle of some internal drama, but I'll still let you take most of the credit for the self inflicted ZI.

Now you know that's not true. What you and I have is special!

When I read the topic I thought it said "GPA Fall Guy". :ph34r:

The world needs less premature war declarations. Perhaps something with Benzocaine? Or practice deep breathing if you're too cheap to spend the cash.

Thanks for the reminder, Paul. I just updated mine.

And cereal > emoticons > war ^_^

I actually care more that Kurd's emoticon didn't line up right on my mobile than I do about warring this round. My declare war button is in the same spot it's always been in. Come and give me some casualties Cowboy while I wait for Blurrenza.

Happy Birthday Pax. :)

Unless this is because I lent Blurrenza's AA a tech dealing guide, and his guys kept going inactive and/or stiffing us on tech so we asked that the guide be taken down and that we would go elsewhere for tech this is a situation where the TE world has spilled into SE. lolololol

I'd be willing to pay just to keep you guys in business. Awrsome service for people like me who would like temps but is too lazy to organize them and doesn't want to bug my busy SE friends.

I'd like to know where she bought her SDI. If I thwart one it's a good day.

I'd be for this. If an AA wins both soldiers killed and infra destroyed, instead of the top 2 getting double prizes, the top 4 each getting prizes. Sounds good to me. I don't think I've ever seen a flagrunner win that didn't have a solid nation. The ones that are sucky, nation builders don't win prizes. This is why the same people win round after round, and you have people with multiple flags under the belt. You have to have a firm foundation of game mechanics, and most people don't. I'd say infra killed is the better award for bragging rights since infra is harder to destroy than soldiers, but on the whole I don't disagree.

Take care of Michael the Narwhal. Great guy there.

I found this several months ago. I'm surprised you missed it when I posted about it. http://barrysfarm.spreadshirt.com/war-doves-A1220343/customize/color/366

hartfw wins the thread.

As usual Daenarys, your thought process starts sound then arrive at the wrong conclusion. You might as well accuse us of spying on Aftermath while you're at it.

You got me there. I participate in the threads because everyone else values casualties so much. So... peer pressure?

Whatever awards there are, there will always be an ability to game them. We've had a most destructive war award before, and the result was friends going to war with each other and lowering defenses so their opponent could do more damage and pad their damage stats. People have played around with a cumulative damage award going to the nation that deals the most damage throughout the round, but that could also be gamed by declaring a bunch of easy win wars i.e. raids. A way around that is instead of taking the cumulative damage dealt all round, and taking the cumulative repurchase value of the damages dealt. For instance. I'm at war with a nation with twice my infra, and the cost of his infra is much higher than mine, so essentially, 5 of his infra I destroy would be worth more than 5 infra he destroys of mine. This encourages wars against more worthy opponents rather than raids. Admin has yet to implement either ideas. Not necessarily when wars are a team effort.

I'd just like to say, that it's a sad day indeed when you realize that disbanding, or a merger is necessary. I'm sure you went on for a good long while after that, dreading this day. Every time I ever spoke to Yuurei, he was always so proud of Terran, and what they had become. Don't look at this like it is the end, but the start of something new, and new contributions you can make to Nordreich and take pride in. Good luck to you and yours, and may they settle in well at Nordreich.

Are you placing your navy in battle support prior to launching missiles?

<Kurdanak> Why won't anyone fill my defensive slots??? :( <Kurdanak> Dammit Samwise[GOP] <Tyler_Canoe> if you need me to take on anymore targets let me know Samwise[GOP] <Samwise[GOP]> Because a 1 week old nation scares them apparently <Tyler_Canoe> I could work on that Kurdanak ;) <Kurdanak> \o/ <Samwise[GOP]> To be fair, it /is/ Kurdanak's one week old nation <Kurdanak> Excuses > :( Better roll him D1, or we will have to. :war:

This wasn't your average rogue attack where you get hit by one or 2 nations. This was a highly coordinated operation that goes beyond the usual rogue attack. The only difference between this attack and an alliance war is that they hopped off their AA shortly to attacking to make them harder to track. Similar situations have occurred to Misfits and Skaro where a small group of coordinated nations hit them, and cause significant damage. Would this have been deemed a legit first war? On the whole, probably not. Individually? That depends on the TEPD nation that was hit. You can argue that his particular wars weren't legit, but to be honest, I don't care. He approached me asking to join War Doves prior to the D1 war, I told him that we were planning a war, and that he would have to wait until the war was over to apply for membership in the interest of fairness for D1. No, I did not take into consideration his wars in TEPD, or their damage stats. I figured a fair war that included almost 100 nations of TE was the only thing to be considered. We were vulnerable, and had almost completely exhausted our nuclear stockpiles in the Warriors war. I'm going to try to explain this the best way I can. Sometimes when you care about people, and you see them being treated poorly, you want to help. Sometimes the best you can do is just provide moral support. You feel compelled to do something, no matter how little it helps, and in this case, they joined to deter raid attacks, and possibly draw any fire away from us while we got back on our feet. I am grateful. About our members threatening retaliation: These members were full members of War Doves, and we are bound by our charter as a sovereign alliance to defend our members from attacks. If you attack War Doves, you should always expect retaliation because it is our duty to defend our members. I don't agree with the part that our members are AA hopping to avoid wars and protect a flagrun. Last round no wars were avoided as they were hit. This round 2 of 3 of the members came from TEPD prior to our first war, and have been fighting with us the entire time. The third was directed to wait to join after we received peace, and has fought alongside us ever since. I spoke about this with D1, and told them that I had no intentions of taking in TEPD nations while we were at war. I also explained the situation a bit further on why these nations were joining the War Doves AA. TEPD is hitting a D1 flagrunner in the last week of the round. So? We had an Aftermath nation join us, an Aftermath member hit us, and a Citadel member join D1 and hit us. It's the end of the round. People go nuts. Must be all that Christmas spirit Rayvon brings to TE.
