    To be honest, so did we. We wanted to make sure that, should a RIA nation find an NG target and get a spell of moralistic guilt over whether or not to hit said nation, they could rest assured hitting us is e-legal per a formal DoW. Then we realized we never posted said DoW, and quite possibly denied RIA peeps from hitting us. And that just brought us to tears over our cruel neglect, so we posted this DoW posthaste. So much haste, in fact, you'll notice there wasn't even time to sign it.

    You're a saint, this world needs more compassion like this

    As someone who was in DuckRoll high command and in direct communication with several coalition alliances I can attest that the main target was supposed to be Doom House (I can't say just Umbrella because each sphere/alliance had its own "real" target in mind, Argent's was MK) and Pacifica indeed somehow wrestled political control over the EQ side (which is why everyone hated them immediately after that war). However, there is no debate that NG was a primary consideration point daily because Pacifica and other actors on the EQ side demanded strict declaration lines be made specifically to avoid triggering NG. The entire early phases of the war were dedicated to trying to trick the Doom House side into triggering NG to join our side. There was a belief that the war couldn't be (or wouldn't be easily) won without NG on our side and there would be a massive shift in balance if they landed on the other side. Indeed that line of logic was literally screamed at the alliances who broke rank in their attacks on CnG and triggered NG.

     

     

    The Equilibrium coalition was a very cynical affair of a number of different groups who didn't trust one another working towards a common goal, which was toppling Doom House.  The problem is that NPO was working to establish a postwar hegemony where they would inherit C&G from DoomHouse and turn around and attack their erstwhile allies in the part of the Equilibrium Coalition not controlled by them.

     

    It was for this reason that NPO granted C&G a free hand to counter whoever they wanted without any retaliation.  The purpose of this was to enable a dual purpose war, where C&G would be preserved intact, C&G could destroy various elements of XX and SF disliked by NPO, DoomHouse would be degraded (but not badly degraded, there was originally a strict list of who was allowed to attack MK for instance) and the biggest losers of the war would be Polar, XX and SF.

     

    For some reason everyone assumed that the Polar, SF and XX parts would not see through this and let everyone screw us all over.  On the day that C&G was countered, NPO actually threatened to switch sides.  This is the reason the war ended relatively quickly, as the master plan of Brehon had gone straight to hell.  The relatively quick peace was to save C&G, their supposed opponents, from damage.

     

    The cynicism of the war was such that the leaders of Equilibrium were on much better terms with most of their opponents than they were with most of their coalition allies.

  17. Bottom 20 Alliance Analysis

    Posted

    Knights Order - Havins secured what looks like almost a complete trade circle, and active a mere week ago, this guy is one to watch out for, especially considering it looks like he does a tech deal from time to time. The creme de la creme.
    Bulgarian Tribune - heading towards inactivity with no trade partners, the prospects for this alliance look grim for this former Polar refugee.
    Confederate States of America - Defying recent controversy, Confederate Carolina nonetheless appears to be heading towards the dustbin of history as well
    The United Powers - You can't beat the unity of one dude, and the impenetrable peace mode shield provides protection while the alliance's 65 man armed forces chillax to the max
    Council of Elements - Apparently active though also apparently confused as to the appropriate amount of tech to send in a tech deal, or how the trade system works, the Council soldiers on!
    The Commonwealth - With the recent grant of 2000 soldiers and a few radios from a random Pacifican, this Pacifican dropout boasts an impressive military for the utter crap tier they dominate with an iron fist. Move aside, Francograd.
    The Aegis - The fierce defenders dare anyone to challenge their brave soldiers and 2 tanks.
    ANIME - The ever present weeaboo threat manifests itself again in ANIME, which appears to be composed of a great deal of computer equipment in a single building near a cattle farm and a fishing dock.
    Socialist state of Vijot - Creeping socialism infiltrates the crap tier, surely to infect their neighborstates
    Nelborne Union - Locked in a life or death struggle with the ruthless forces of some random guy
    Socratic Union - Apparently no more nations grace the Socratic Union, perhaps they drank poisoned hemlock
    The Baldwin Alliance - Another Baldwin brother? Sadly we shall never know, no nations left here either
    Tychrome - A sad tale of another ghost alliance
    Potato Alliance - Ahh the noble potato, now there's something worth fighting for
    UNHOLY SOULS - Unholy souls need trade partners
    6AC - In a sad tale of woe, this noble alliance has been destroyed by some noob from UPN. For them, it was armageddon, for UPN, it was a Saturday.
    Band of Misfits - someone who knows how to tech deal? Watch this space as they rocket out of the crap tier.
    Amarachians - With a 1.5 million dollar grant from some random and a war fought over their highly strategic fur hat reserves, tis a life frought with peril and opportunity
    Axis - Latvian nazis? This spells trouble
    United Freemasons - Illuminati! Luckily it looks like GOD is on the job
    New Reich - More Nazis!

  25. CN wiki - listing defeats as 'White peace'

    Remember that time during a global war that RIA used the pretense they were still at war with DBDC and hit a nation stating it was a continuation of the baldr war and then when they surrendered and the wiki was changed to reflect they surrendered from the baldr war they got all pissy and changed the wiki?  Good times.


    When did this happen? o_O
    edit: I checked out wiki, we've been incredibly lazy apparently and the war result hasn't even been edited in
