    They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well that's real sweet. I'm moved. :wub:

     

    But this ain't me: http://tournament.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=1000341

     

    If anyone gets any messages from the above nation, be advised that it isn't me. Sorry for the headache that this kid is causing you

  7. Spy Bugs

    2 days ago my tax rate was spied:

    To: Samwise    From: Unknown Sender    Date: 6/25/2016 1:49:16 PM

    Subject: Spy Operation Attack

     

    Message: A spy operation has been launched against your nation. In the attack the enemy spies targeted your Internal Revenue Services (IRS) and managed to change your national tax rate to a level of 25%. Your attacker was able to return home unharmed and unidentified.

     

    From the info index:

    • Sabotage IRS Proficiency (New tax rate randomly produced, 1-5% lower than old tax rate, low limit of 23%) = $100,000 + (20 x enemy nation strength x enemy number of days inactive) [Defender required to collect taxes to change]

     

    The last day I collected taxes was on the 19th of June, yet I can still switch my tax rate back manually without having collected taxes for the day. It seems you can switch threat level without collecting as well.

    This is precisely my problem with the "dirty" spy operations issue. Let me make this clear - I don't know what all ops you're receiving beyond my own, and what's in the exposed spy operations page. But looking through OE's spy ops, the only one I assume you mean is the failed incite gov propaganda op by TJack75 on Bilrow on the 8th. In this situation, you had a non-nuclear, 15 day old nation, updeclaring a 51 day old nation with a full set (hnms included) of nukes. Actually, let me pull the stats from the date of declaration (4/6):
     
    wc1l8Vr.png
     
    He was able to anarchy him, but he knew he wasn't going to be able to keep him in anarchy. To prevent him from switching out and declaring on 3 other nations, he attempted to spy his gov to keep him locked in anarchy therefore containing his nuclear damage only to himself. That's called strategy. You may call that dirty, but he sacrificed himself for the good of the group.
     
    So in this situation you have a misunderstanding about what's considered "dirty". Then, in the above post Skaullin mentions that he's receiving assassinate generals spy ops, which I would never have even thought to be considered dirty. Again, you have what I would consider to be a valid, strategical spy operation, and some are considering it dirty? Generals increase damage, military efficiency, and reduce military costs and upkeep. Hell, even the economic ones increase population, which means larger armies. Generals provide a tactical advantage to warfare, and yes, I ran one of those ops as you can see in my linked spy operations page above. My point is, we have a genuine misunderstanding, which stemmed from a lack of communication on what you wanted taken off the table. 
     
    Then you have a whole other issue entirely. The fact isn't hidden that you have downdeclared on us, and nations like NGW are fighting 3 defensive wars against nations who declared with almost a 2k infra advantage. (BTW, some of those nations look a little too similar if you know what I mean. ;) ) It's not only hypocritical, but our priorities seem to be misplaced when we're discussing poor sportsmanship and we jump to spy operations - especially when I'm hearing reports of 200-300 mil warchests.
     
    But I'm not complaining about anything. I'm pretty sure it's apparent by my lack of wonders that I'm not paying attention to much of anything this round. To be honest, I had no intention of declaring any war on account that I'm busy elsewhere. So I thank you for bringing the fight to me, because I really am having a good time, and I think my guys are too. Is it safe to assume we're peaceing out at the 4/11-4/12 changeover?

  15. Defeat Alert After Nuke

    in Report A Bug

    Posted

    Thanks for the logs. :) I still think there's a bug here. I was under the impression that how the mechanic worked for DA's was that you could only be DA'ed once per day, but when you are nuked, the nuke takes that DA slot. Otherwise, you'd be able to DA following a nuke on those who have 0 soldiers. The description on the FSS pertains to nuclear anarchy, not defeat alerts. It's a bit confusing because the info index doesn't come right out and call them a defeat alert when describing what happens when a defeat alert is issued, but those are 2 separate situations.

    It is my understanding that you cannot be defeat alerted after a nuclear attack.

    Also, I never received a message yesterday when my deployed forces were returned home. You can see by the state of my inbox (185 unread messages) I haven't been deleting anything, so I'm certain I didn't delete that message. That one's not so much of a big deal, and I didn't intend on reporting it until the DA after nuke issue occurred today.

    I was responsible for bringing peace between RE and UN and was rewarded me by being kicking out out of the alliance, thanks to extortion tactics used by OE. What Sam failed to mention is that they only gave UN peace if they kicked me out. She claimed that I said I was going to nuke her for the entire round when I can't even message SamWise because she blocked me from our war affair that happened 5 years ago. OE should be condemned for bullying and extorting an alliance a fraction of their size. Such bullying tactics should be banned and frowned upon in the game. OE has tried to dress me as a bully but never have I demanded any of their members to quit the game and I'm unsure of how I could nuke them the entire round with only 4 nukes I had to start the war. 

     

    There is good reason why Samwise failed to mention the harsh conditions surrounding peace between OE and UN, I suppose I would be embarrassed too for making repugnant demands. Samwise should show wisdom and allow me to be w/the fam. I gave OE a great opportunity to steal tech, land, and gain xp - they should let me stay in UN. 

     

    #freeSwazz @samwise

     

    It's hyprocritical that you first attempt to bully my alliance, say you'll reroll and nuke us the remainder of the round, and when we make preparations against that, you call it bullying tactics on our part. This was your first statement in this thread:

     

    ...If need be, I can re-roll and once again obtain nukes within 7 days. I could just troll your alliance until the end of round by re-rolling and nuking your members all the time. 

     

    It doesn't really matter what you do. If this persists much longer, I will just sell all tech and delete soliders so you will not benefit at all. Then I can re-roll and make sure to be a thorn in your side. It would be beneficial to both sides to come to peace. You should not fight with someone who has nothing to lose because you will not gain from it...

     

    That is a threat I take seriously, not for my sake, but the lower members in my alliance. You'd be nuking them to get to me, something I plan to avoid if at all possible.

     

    I also hear you made threats to nuke MERCS, so it's clear that you aren't willing to move on.

     

    But I have my reasons for blocking you from PM'ing me in-game. I refuse to allow you to harass me, and make OOC attacks towards me. Do you remember this?

    Or perhaps this message exchange?

    For anyone who doesn't quite see what was going on, Swazz was aware that I had an aunt who was terminally ill with cancer, and used that info to personally attack me in-game, on 2 separate occassions. He also states his intentions to come after myself and Kurdanak round after round.

     

    So swazz, tell me again how you're the victim in this?

    ...You guys did not accept peace offers and then ganged up 4 to 1 on me...

    I really don't care what you do. I have no problem with warring you until the servers go down. That sounds like the best TE round ever.
     

    I bet you missed all this drama samwise?

     
    Haha I'll admit that I wrestled with making this thread because it all really is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, but then again, it did provide plenty of entertainment value. :P

    Don't be too impressed, no one else has fought yet.
    But hey! More impressive than i can do lol! I oddly never get much casualties and fight more wars than most :(

     
    You know I'm the same way. I've ended a round ranked top 5 I think, but I've never been able to take home the casualty crown.
     

    The best advice I can give you is that hitting UN would most likely heal the situation the best.

    There's a difference between telling your sorry and showing you're sorry.

    If you indeed are taking responsibility, then do so and knock out UN and disarm them for their unapologetic shenanigans

     
    I don't think it's really necessary for MERCS to hit UN to prove they wish to end association. I will say that I don't really believe UN ever planned to halt their attack on OE. Judging from the messages we both received, they were confident that we were going to be rolled into the dirt, and didn't give that a second thought.
     
    However, if we assume that they're telling the truth, and that they had meant to peace OE so that both MERCS and UN could focus on RE, that's beyond !@#$%*. I'll be honest and that's part of the reason I'm holding UN at war. I've been in the situation you would have been in, dealing with the same asinine behavior. I believe that when an alliance is in that situation, it's the TE community's responsibility to right that wrong, and I had no intentions of leaving you on the battlefield to fight 2 alliances at once. If there are any victims here, it's RE.
     
    But UN is already spent, so it would further prove the point that MERCS was pulling an opportunistic move for XP. After speaking with Wiley, I do feel like s/he regrets the situation, and didn't really know who s/he was dealing with. I'm hopeful that moving forward, Wiley will make better decisions and I personally look forward to seeing what MERCS does later on in the round. 
     

    I'm all for new alliances; but round after round a new one appears and makes a mess of things. To clear that up a little, the part which annoys me is the amount of new nations to TE, that join these alliances.

    I mean absolutely no disrespect; but incompetent leadership is the problem here. I can't say much myself, I barely managed 2 new recruits, but those 2 new recruits will be provided with:
    economic and military guides
    hands on experience as an equal member/deciding wars/team work
    1 to 1 mentoring if required
    And just general guidance around the game! With that they will return for future rounds, whether that be rejoining Misfits or moving on to another alliance.


    Edit: obviously my powerpoints didn't work :P

     
    While yes, UN certainly lacks knowledge of game mechanics, all that can be taught. To me, their bigger issue is not knowing how politics work. Raiding alliances for XP? Sure, okay. It's bold. I'll give you that. Issuing threats you can't back up? Never a good idea. Spamming my inbox with nonsense? That won't make me more receptive to you. You see here where 2 approaches ended is much different results. After speaking with Wiley, I really have no desire to war MERCS, whereas after speaking with Bernie, well... you know.

    Hello everybody. I am the leader of The United Nations. Me & my alliance have gotten a pretty bad reputation because of this war with OE but I am here to hopefully clear things up. Let's start from the beginning: MERCS & I signed a MDP. We planned to xp raid OE & RE. However, right before the war started Wiley & I decided we shouldn't attack OE. Well one of my nations must not of read my alliance announcement instructing them to only attack RE & attacked OE anyways. He is not affiliated with the UN anymore. However, he ended up getting hit bad & had his nation crippled, so in retaliation I ordered more attacks on OE (huge mistake). That was when samwise messaged me asking if we were at war, I then gave a formal declaration of war (another mistake). I offered not to use nukes & In return OE would accept peace when offered by my nations. They declined. I wasn't informed of the nuke being launched against sam but i can't say I disagree with it. OE won the war by a long-shot & I messaged him informing him of our surrender & offered peace. He hit me with a dirty blockade & replied with "lol no". This war was simply a XP raid turned into a huge destructive war, that was in no way my attentions. I admited my mistake & I am sorry for what I started. My alliance needs to rebuild urgently but OE isn't allowing that. I understand why the UN may look idiotic & humorous but we are not. We just made some mistakes that we will learn from. I am sorry for starting all of this & I hope OE will accept my peace offerings.

     
    Okay, I'm going to have to call !@#$%^&* here. You say you tried to halt the attack, but a member missed the announcement. Even if that is true, I still messaged you telling you that I had worked out a peace with that nation, meaning no further damage would be done to him. [OOC]Also, you never kicked that non-compliant member. He was deleted by the admin for being in violation of the TOS. Probably multies. No, I don't know that for sure but the only way a nation can be deleted during a war is by the administration, and we had not yet peaced his nation.[/OOC]
     
    Next, you "offered" not to use nukes if we allowed you to raid our nations for 3 days. What in the hell kind of leader would I be to accept an offer like that? Had I agreed to that, I can guarantee OE would be rolling me right along with you. Which would be kinda funny. :3
     
    And yes, I blockaded you. Swazz blockaded me, so I bought some ships, and shared the love with you. Gotta get dat XP, yo. (Ironic, right?!)
     
    And I said "lolno". At least quote me correctly please.
     

    My alliance motive was XP, I never said you had the same motive. What happen with OE is simple, we decided OE was a reasonable target so I told my nations to attack them at update. We then decided not to attack OE but that was just hours before update & I had already instructed my nations to attack. One of my nations didn't see my order not to attack, so he attacked & got destroyed which brought the rest of my alliance into it.

     
    No, you brought the rest of your alliance into it. Your member attacked my member without provocation, I messaged your second-in-command asking what was going on, explaining that I had reached an agreement with your member for peace. He ignored me, then you launched more offensive attacks. I then messaged you directly, again asking what was going on, and explaining that I had worked out a deal for peace with your member. You mistook my mercy for weakness, and confirmed that you had declared war.

     

    I will end this textwall with this: Your biggest mistake wasn't declaring a bad war, but rather thinking that you could waltz in here and bully folks into submission. I don't like to toot my own horn here, because truly, there are a lot of folks here who have accomplished just as much as I have, and more in TE. There are some damn fine players here. So next time, perhaps you'll be a bit more cautious as to whom you threaten, because we're all a bunch of blood thirsty sob's.

    Can we at least make it by someone with more class.... Bernie, here's a good start for ya:

     

    "I came in like a wreeeecking ball
    I never hit so haaaard in war
    All I wanted was to break RE
    All you ever did was wreeeeck me
    Yeah, you, you wre-e-e-eck me"...

     

     

    also, include this in your song:

     

    To: The Mitten    From: President Bernie    Date: 2/24/2016 3:54:51 AM


    Subject: Peace or Nuke

     

    Message: I'm not sure if that was your nation that launched a spy attack destroying one of my nukes, but if it was, nukes only cost $400,000, I will purchase another one & launch it on your nation if you don't send me peace. That would make it so you have re-build your whole nation, but without 25,000,000 start-up money. Be smart about this.

     

     

    No, it was me.

    This has been the narrative the whole time. Don't attack my members thinking we're not going to defend what's ours.
