My how fast GOONS can strip the spirit off of people these days. Less than 4 hours and we've gone from demands of unconditional surrender to pleas for peace?

Wow, lightspeed. Gratz guys!

Is the the propaganda that Polar is spoonfeeding their people over there about us? I feel the love. Welcome to the cyberverse TE, you're off to an amazing start.

:wub: INT long time.

I keep signing all these peace documents, I'm gonna be the least loved person in DS history. To our allies, love you guys long time. To those we fought against, so long and thanks for all the casualties. Best to all moving forward!

My first document signed for Doom Squad is peace? What the actual hell?!?! In all seriousness though, congratulations on reaching a resolution to all involved parties.

The Tywin clause alone made this worth reading. o/ Doom Squad

Gratz DBDC, you got yourself some great friends there.

This is a treaty.

Good choice, a quality protector that can teach you something about how to fight wars.

I knew I liked ODN

Will we be seeing a protector announced shortly?

Gratz on existing. Should we be expecting a protectorate treaty post soon as well?

You're in LoSS, you can't be that good.

With a new nation, nukes and an MP are obtainable in less than 6 months.

But until they did, the tone was very different about the willingness to cross interalliance lines to pursue this issue.

Nobody was prepared to challenge Sparta regarding their protection of Rotavele, but a lot of people sure are talking tough to SAS. If this was purely an issue regarding morality, then it wouldn't matter who was offering Rotavele protection, but it's becoming very clear that morals only matter when they're not backed by NS and a ton of nukes.

Gratz TPC, you got yourselves a good treaty partner there. o/ODN o/TPC

That's a little argumentum ad hominem isn't it?

The planet that all these "cyber" nations occupy. And I would totally recommend [url=lolcommies.com]The International[/url]. Worked with them for quite some time now, good group especially if you're into leftist stuff.

That's not a fair judge. My nation is only like 500ish days old, but I've been playing on and off since ~2009 (pre-Karma anyway)

The problem is still, bottom-line, more nations are leaving than joining. The OP states that all admin can do is get people to join the game, well that ship has apparently sailed. The number of new nations being created back in 2009 were enough to send a recruiter to message cap just sending recruiting messages if you tried to hit every new nation. Now, it's not even enough to get close to a warning that you're reaching the message cap, and that's even if you throw in sending out messages around alliance, and to any nations with open trade slots from the first 100 nations you look at on your sphere. Add to that the fact that only a very very small percentage of those new nations are sticking around long enough to learn anything about the game (even long enough to make a 2nd login to the game), and that the active player is all aging and moving on with their lives... I think yeah, the alliances do have to make things interesting, but there's also the point of trying to keep around the people that show up, as well as getting more people to actually show up. In this case, you've got to have more people to throw into the wall, and a certain number of those are gonna stick. Most are not. Then it falls to the alliances they join to keep their attention by coming up with ways to pull their membership together, keep them active and entertained, and give these new players a reason to keep logging in.

awww Bob, I thought your official stance was that once the war screen said "Peace Declared" that is was a closed matter.

Gratz on a sexy current gov.

This was a good move. Congrats on shedding some dead weight GATO.
