Sorry everyone, this was probably our fault somehow.

He's the gift that keeps on giving. The rodeo clown that has entertained generations of GOONS, now across multiple worlds. Also he doesn't know what 'Apocrypha' means.

this kid is literally cuno from disco elysium only not as cool

If you need instructions on how to get through GOONS, check out the enclosed instruction book.

Thank you for that. You certainly added flavor to this world, and the forgotten one on the moon. I am hopeful that you too have left this place and found greater meaning.

I wouldn't attribute our departure to lack of wars so much as a lack of overall entertainment. Our entertainment was rarely purely derived from the mechanics of the world. It was all about violent exercises of power, and the reactions thereof. That said, a few simple tweaks could have easily saved a multitude of nations, such as making it cheaper to rebuild infra or tech that you had already reached at a previous point. Far too late to be talking mechanics now though of course. We had a lot of great fun, especially at the expense of very foolish nations and alliances

God, just @ me next time. I jest, but seriously, this game certainly had a lot going for it. There's a market out there for political simulators, particularly political simulators that don't have high time or effort costs, not like all the space empire browser games. It's an attestation to the strength of this community, and that hunger for political gameplay that it lasted this long. I think it's far too late now for course corrections, but for those curious here's what I would have done: -The biggest thing is that it's too easy to get wrecked and lose ev

Plenty.

What actually transpires behind the closed doors of an alliances' leadership?

It's ok, most of the people who think they know what the war is about don't know either.

Quite the contrary, fear and boredom are both intergal motivators in the game's FA. :colbert:

Nah, might doesn't make right. Might makes what is.

I'll go ahead and second this, I distinctly recall the last minute reassignment to TLR, mainly because I was allied to TLR at the time. Was not terribly happy about that reassignment either but IRON seemed more than happy to take it over the alternative.

OK, I'll bite. How did the coalition betray IRON? I remember a lot of people resenting IRON for taking a softball target in the war but I can't recall anything that could approach a 'betrayal' by the coalition, certainly nothing that could materially be constructed as a 'betrayal'.

I'm not surprised or angry, I just thought it was something interesting. E: No matter how you slice it, betraying a coalition mid-war is not the kind of act an alliance should do, interesting that you guys would view it as acceptable. I suppose it's besides the point now though.
