[quote name='Unknown Smurf' timestamp='1317800920' post='2816942'] [img]http://i53.tinypic.com/2mfj58z.png[/img] [/quote] I remember seeing this like on the first day or so, funny stuff.

Lets not forget the reason this whole thing started. One alliance committed a dishonorable act as instructed by his puppet master, then his buddies jumped in, treaty or not, they must have ignored this dishonorable act and still helped where an honorable alliance would have cancelled the treaty. This "puppet" isn't bright enough to realize that he's being used as a pawn in the grand scale of things...trying to run with the big dogs I guess. So who is the puppet master, some know some don't, who is the puppet? We'll know as soon as the strings have been cut. What is honor? Honor is not disclosing private convos, honor is keeping a fair fight even when its even, and not accepting aid from the puppet masters when times get tough, honor is telling a big brother no when he offers to help, honor is seeing it through win or lose, because win or lose, the honorable alliance wins. This happens in life all the time, somebody taking the easy way to success based on false promises from the puppet master. Master of Puppets, cool song from Metallica. If there is any fairness in life, then the honorable will prevail, if not, then at least the dishonorable will be seen for who they are. The clear winners of this war was chosen long before the outcome will be decided. Win or lose, the honorable will prevail.

considering that Tetris started it, yeah. Guess they bit off more than they could chew.

Oh God, another ankle biter. What's the point? Even if the Legion should happen to lose, how many nations will they be able to say it took to take them down? Something tells me that there are higher powers at work here trying to make trouble on planet Bob.

So how many more alliances need to be brought into a war against one single alliance? I don't think the Legion has requested any help so far.

This I knew, it was in the Help guide as I mentioned. I imagine thats the only thing. It seems pretty reliable to me. Thanks for answering.

Curious...Aside from what is mentioned in the help about default nation dates, is there anything that anybody knows of that can change the AA seniority date aside from actually changing alliances or going unaffiliated? I don't think there is but I just want to be sure. I don't suspect a bug...just wondering how reliable it is.

Tonight...same guy...attacked me with CMS and air 4 times...though the CN time stamp says 2 were before update....it is not the case. I know because i posted the results right after i got them 3 hours after update(Timestamps confirm) and i was watching my nation very very close that whole time...there was no lag. Something is wrong with that. I compared IRC chat times(same time zone) with my squad...it confirms as well as forum post times with my alliance. At least we finally got him in anarchy...despite the bug or whatever it is. Even though the glitch still seems to be working in his favor considering he's getting extra attacks against my nation...he's finally in anarchy...but who knows...he may be out tomorrow. So you know...i'm not some noobe. I Have a 4 year degree in applied computer science....specialty is programming. I dont expect to get any help from our admins at this point...so i'll just deal with it best I can and report things as I come across them.

If it would have been MY nation...and i was reduced down to 1000 troops...i promise you i'd be in anarchy regardless of any conditions. I appreciate the responses of the non-admins here...an admin explanation would be appreciated.

My battle page showed less than a 5% chance of victory for him after it was said and done with...at least before he upgraded his troops which shouldn't have been allowed to happen at that level. It appears someone fed the gremlins after update. Admit it...there is a glitch. Not a far fetched argument considering most players haven't even been able to log on within an hour before or after update. Probably non related...Two nights ago I had 3 CMS defense improvements vanish right before my eyes...i just replaced them and ignored that one. There are thousands of players that depend on this game to function as it should...from the way it seems though...its been performing lately as if its PC running out of someones basement. Reporting an error is about like calling my bank in RL...where they never admit a mistake even though they know one exists. The screenshot i provided is proof...no nation of over 50000 supporters can have just over 1000 troops and NOT be in anarchy...not even in TE should that happen.

Now over 30 minutes later he gets troops...claims he bought them and they didnt show. However...i bought troops during MAJOR server lag last night and they showed to all instantly. I'm starting to think the admins are taking sides in these wars....that or the server needs a major upgrade.

I'm also at war with the guy...went to the battle odds screen as did all others at war with him...no effect. There is no way his troop level can be above 20% of his population(57,383 Supporters*20%=11476.6 WHERE remaining troops are 5,960 counting effeciency). Admins please take a look...i'm sure you have logs. This guy SHOULD be in anarchy!

none sense. Here I always thought the RE were an honorable alliance...I almost joined them at one point.

Thanks Torres

The Legion has moved into CN TE. Though we are just getting started our code of ethics and willingness to back our nations and allies have not changed. In this round we've been studying the mechanics and nature of TE compared to the Standard Edition. Upon doing so we've created an alliance system we feel may be better suited to the Tournament Edition as opposed to the Standard Edition of CN. We start with an Emperor who will be elected during the last 5 days of each round. In addition we have an army style ranking system where each member will be ranked according to how well his nation is ranked...in this way those who work hard are rewarded. We have been handling matters on The Legion SE forums...but in order to tailor ourselves more towards the individualism that TE demands...we set up a separate set of IB boards specifically for this version of the game. We recently have signed a treaty with United Nations and are also working to pursue relations with other respectable alliances TE contains. As many know we also have close ties to nPo who is also affiliated with The Legion SE Alliance. You do not need to be a member of The Legion SE Alliance to join The Legion for Tournament Edition...but if you wish to do just that you certainly are welcomed to apply. Please drop by our forums...and excuse the mess as again they are new forums ready and waiting for new posts and new registered users(and while we wait for our current members to register). Even if you feel its too late in this round...this could be a good chance to get an early start for Round 5 if your currently without an alliance. Now is probably the best time to get in with an alliance destined to rise and resistant to failure. Visit our forums now at http://z8.invisionfree.com/The_Legion_TE/index.php?act=idx

Admin request: Remove Thread. We worked it out.

We are coming...count on that.

Meaning, shorting the NS difference between nations that allows one to attack another. Right now its too high, and much larger nations are able to tech raid much smaller nations, putting them in anarchy before they even get a chance to get started. This leads newcomers to get discouraged in TE, and quit playing altogether. A shame those who choose to raid dont realize putting their nation at war isn't really worth the tech they get in exchange. But still, this isn't fair to the guys just starting out....like I said, most just quit and leave the game never to give it another chance. I know cuz I almost did a few times, and I seen most I played with actually do it. Something needs to be done about it and this is the only fair thing I can think of to manage it. I under stand the game is meant to be more war based, but these raids are getting way out of hand, alot of times a person doesn't even get a fair chance to play considering they are attacked before they even collect the first days taxes.
