Yes, we will give you 300K tech instead of using that 300K tech to blow your !@#$ up. Hard choice.

Try nuking three opponents with SDIs every day and you'll see just how far you get. [/quote] Apparently quite far enough. Look at the number of days the war has been going on - more then enough to exhaust even the most prepared nuclear stockpile. Is CnG, Sparta, and the rest of the vast coalition facing TOP still taking damage? The vast majority of TOP members can also buy two nukes per day. Lets say, of those, one gets blocked and one gets through. The TOP member will (eventually) suffer no serious losses aside from tech (the infra at 1,000 costing a trivial amount) while the coalition losses infra worth multi-millions of dollars. The longer you wait to offer TOP reps of any sort of reasonable amount, the less reason we have to accept them.

We do not want to set record-breaking reps, but sometimes they must be set to teach a lesson. [/quote] No we won't, for one really simple reason. This will reach 0 for us relatively soon. http://uevil.maybe.net/testing/newcharts/AI2.html This will reach 0 for TOP much more slowly. http://uevil.maybe.net/testing/newcharts/ATE.html And this won't ever reach 0. http://uevil.maybe.net/testing/newcharts/AWO.html When all infra is dead, your coalition can only slowly kill tech while we continue to nuke you, in turn causing far more monetary damage to you the you do to us. Once infra is dead, between the option of "give all remaining tech to MK" and "use remaining tech to continue to nuke MK" I hardly think the average TOP member will give the answer much thought. Have fun.

Wow, looks like a good days for TOP's side from a glance.

I very much like the new trend of alliances actually sticking with the war longer then a few days - tis the reason why we are seeing more or less equal drops as opposed to one massive beat down. Good show.

You're an idiot. Law of diminishing returns in the age of the 6 and 7 figure warchest make this argument completely obsolete.

And so dies the game.

[quote name='Jack Diorno' date='04 February 2010 - 03:48 PM' timestamp='1265316510' post='2159326'] Heh, I'd be interested to see TOPs losses. I noticed prior to the war their biggest nations lay between 110K and 200K and there were 30 of them in total, now there only seems to be 12 and the largest is only 155K. Seems like some large losses were had here as well. [/quote] If there weren't, I'd be embarrassed for you.

Hell yes. HELL YES.

[quote name='Lemeard' date='31 January 2010 - 04:17 PM' timestamp='1264972642' post='2148284'] Individuals can never claim to be without fault, something I don't claim to be either. Humans will act fast and based on emotions and it can be right or wrong as was that one incident. But the big issue is not about the individuals, it's about the ideals that I know you once used to share and appreciate with the likes of myself and Ivan, perhaps you still have that paradoxian flare inside you. I don't know where you strayed off the true path but I remember you as being a reasonable individual once upon a time. Maybe it's not too late for you to see the light and recognize the faults that the order have committed and bring it back on the righteous path? [/quote] A wise man told me not long ago that the past will never come back. Frankly, I agree with him - looking backward at what could have been, perhaps should have been, is a useless exercise in the world of the present. We all shared the same flare at some point - you, me, Avernite, yes, even Saber. I used to believe others had betrayed that ideal and cursed them for it, indeed made it my mission to destroy them for their apostasy. Slowly, though, I began to see otherwise. It is not any grand betrayal of the paradoxian ideal by one side or another that caused us to shatter, it was the culmination of a multitude of individual faults on all sides, the same faults which you yourself recognize, which brought about the discord which we have since been forced to live through. Indeed, in that manner we all betrayed the Order, by lacking the strength to work past these petty differences for the sake of the whole. The past can never change. The future is not yet written.

[quote name='Jack Diorno' date='31 January 2010 - 03:28 PM' timestamp='1264969719' post='2148166'] TOP can't win, they have no low tier nations and only a few mid tier nations. At the very best they could somehow push all of our top tier nations out of range or have them remain in peace mode at a cost of losing almost all of their own nations down into the swarm of C&G's substantial mid tier, where they wont return from. C&G's middle tier will be able to weather the damage easily enough, we have a massive numerical advantage there in terms of raw nations and most C&G alliances have been pushing for increased warchests and tech imports since the karma war, in case of the worst scenario arising which it almost did. When TOP only has the very large nations left and nobody in range they have lost, they wouldn't be able to enforce anything upon us, where as C&G could attack their allies and the nations that dropped into regular range. All that said, I've seen the spy reports and TOP's warchests aren't anything spectacular. The nations I've spied on in my range 50-60K actually seem to have substanially smaller warchests then expected and will probably become useless meatbags after this cycle of war. [/quote] If TOP really manages to destroy every opposing nation within waring abilities of their highest tier, it would be an astounding victory, and I find it hard to see how you could paint it as anything other.
