$DOOM to the moon 🚀

You don't really care.
You'd be surprised at some of the care we show by way of letting little fishies grow from time to time. We're perhaps some of the last to care on Bob. Although what we care about might not align with what anyone else cares about...

Which is obviously why:

How many non Oculus targets do you even have at this point?If you say the Doom fishing pond is the Top 300, which is 203K NS and up then:
Oculus and RFI make up 68% of that tier, add us and alliances immediately tied to Oculus or RFI then that's 88% of the tier.
If you take out those nations in perma-peace-mode then you're left with 26 nations inside the Top 300. Of those some will be in alliances we've raided, some we've raided and decided not to raid again, or some we're yet to raid - you can't overfish the pond!

All you have to do is be happy you get your upper tier raided 3-4x a year and you too can become a lackey to better alliances!
Thing is, post declaration range change we're very quiet on the raid front. And even prior to that DBDC has historically been more active in raiding than we had in recent times.

Thank you based coalition. Us dumb birdies can sleep in our stoops without fear tonight.

Makes me feel young and sprightly!

To be fair it can be a bit of both. Some can't owing to the games mechanics, and some won't because of the effort. And then for some it's not even the effort but the avoidance of wider conflict.

But but, that would require... effort! The horror.
(Had I the time for anything more than a brief cameo here and there, I might switch to an aggressive stance. Not as a raider, probably, unless it was to "raid" raiders - that would be fun for everyone involved.)
Watford 2.0 - No longer protecting the unaligneds, but protecting those whose own alliances can't even protect them.

Friend, you're not in range (although TBH you could, say, dump ~4k of your cheap infrastructure and drop just in). Unfortunately in my position I can't openly invite anyone to attack a nation under my AA's banner, nor it would be gentlemanly of me to be aggressive towards random others, while I am wearing the GPA uniform.
(TPF non-transitional members are... let's say a temporary -?- exception to those rules.)
BUT! Let's not give up all hope, who knows what the future entails for us? I think I might have a few bucks I could afford to spend on these, er, projects.
Disclaimer: all of this joking is meant to be friendly and in jest. It's not neutrality, it's that pixel chest-thumping is - oh gawd!
Disclaimer about the 1st disclaimer: "friendly" and "in jest" should not in any way be taken as "I didn't actually mean it".
Where there's a will there's a way!
I do hope in the future that our collective doom lurches into view with time for folks to spend a few pennies rather than nations ceasing to exist on Bob with too many pennies unspent and opportunities unrealised.
The folks in the peanut gallery would like to see jerdge, neutral for over 10yrs, become one of the most prolific raiders/war mongers in the dying twilight of Bobs last sunset.

I feel like I have the required characteristics to join this fine raiding project but there are no TPF nations in range, what are you going to do to fix that?
Friend, just this once I would be willing to help you out in achieving your goals if you wish to reshape your nations range to allow you to achieve them. Who knows, maybe I'll be in a better position to join such a fine project and tap up that $100m bonus!

@Johnny Apocalypse@Kapleo @General Kanabis
It'd be quicker / more efficient to send the tech direct than via NoR's poor war torn nations. -
Thanks @admin all working now 👍

@admin trying to form a trade circle with an alliancemate and receiving the "This trade agreement would result in a potential rule violation due to account on the same network and is not allowed at this moment in time".
My nation: LJ Scott of Republic of Jutland
Theirs: Dagny Taggart of Galtian Commune
A number of years back I nation sat them for an extended period with permission via the nation sit thread. Wondering if that's triggering the warning?
For reference we live on different continents in different time zones. Options for reliable trades are dwindling a bit, grateful if you could take a look.

It's so much obvious that cheating made it that much worse that, if I bothered, I'd be startled that you replied at all.
Surprisingly I'm as outraged as you that certain nations and/or alliances seem to find "people" who willingingly log in regularly year after year for the sole purpose of sending out free tech.
Carnivore will show my tech was bought and paid for from alliances across Bob. I've had to put up with the crap of dealing with hundreds of different nations as people quit, slots are poached or people simply renege on deals. That to the back drop of tech prices surging to the now standard 9/100.
Moderation obviously at one stage sought to address the issue - poorly from my perspective. The other problem was that despite glaring evidence only one side of the house was penalised. The other continues to rely on individuals who are really active in-game but have never ventured onto discord or had any activity on a forum in years if alone any

I suppose you missed it. We hit Sparta and they just sat there. One guy was active here and on in the actual war. Some Spartan nations became aware they were being attacked but had no idea what was going on or what they were suppose to do. They were advised to speak to their leadership. They got no response, no help, no advice no aid. Its members fled or just disappeared and Sparta leaderless burned. Once it was over their one active member was angry the his leadership did nothing before during or after the war to helps its members and he left forming his own alliance. Sparta has been a dead alliance since existing in name only.
I think you might be mixing stories. Alexandros rage quitting and forming a new alliance was when MHA (the remnants of umb version) hit them in Jan 2019:
I should know I hit him.
Unless Sparta had a 2nd active nation?

Great time to restart your nation. Right before the boom and influx of players as browser based nation sim games make a comeback.

Hrmm This shows you know nothing about what it means to work as something larger than yourself. Sorry that you have been living in such a vaccum, but I'm afraid I don't work that way. I respect and recognize those who have contributed to my strength by acting rationally with their well being and desires in mind. Therefore, yes, I must have the Emperor's consent if I want to go obliterate a top tier nation with the assets at my disposal.. but you know the truth just can't stand in the presence of such beautiful propaganda.
You are not of the hive, thus you do not understand it.. it is to be expected.
If you have people stop questioning my war record.. then I might stop answering questions about my war record. This includes why I haven't obliterated others in my tier range at various opportunities.
Don't get me wrong, talking to myself about my personal awesomeness is a pastime I find it hard to diverge from.Exactly. If you actually wanted to you would have, but you didn't therefore you didn't.
It's cute that you're actually lacking in wars that much that you resort to bragging about wanting to be involved with a war rather than actually bragging about a war you've been involved in.
The reason they're possibly questioning your war record is your compulsion to cite carnivore as some sort of tombstone to the destruction you've wrought on Bob. When in fact it largely just highlights that some chums gifted you land:
Literally 1 in 4 of your wars recorded into carnivore are just the exchanges above where you ground attack your chum, they rebuy land and repeat - . Hell a fifth of the destruction recorded into your carnivore record is those 9 "wars" above. Without those you've wrought an impressive 436K of NS destruction (rounded up for you!) The vast majority of everything else is little scuffles with beleaguered nations.
"b-b-but I fought notable forum poster and former leader of TOP Crymson!" - yeah and caused 15.4K NS of destruction.
"b-b-b-but what about when I fought notable forum poster and general turd munch Halflinger?!?!" - and dealt a whopping 4.5K of NS destruction.
I would guesstimate that you've probably caused more NS to be wiped off Bob by people reading some of your cringey posts and deleting their nations than you have through actual conflict.

Lord of Darkness, but I was too late. I envied Umbrella at that point. And that is correct, a good chunk of my wars are between 2008 and 2011 when I was fighting my way up the charts.So you asked someone not involved in orchestrating it or carrying it out, and who regardless of that would have said no, if you could join? If you wanted to you would have, but you didn't therefore you didn't. What's the point trying to flex on someone else actions when you were so far removed from it?

I was already well into the top ten before the landing operation even began.. but please.. lets rehash that again. I had asked to be part of the team that brought down Hime Themis, but by the time any opportunity would have been present to hit them they'd already been beaten well out of range in their first 3 conflicts because of their legendary lack of preparedness.
Who'd you ask to join in on Hime? Certainly wasn't umb.
Also iirc Carnivore has all data dating back to like May 2011. All that's missing is anything prior to that.
