RV is never dull and always entertaining. Good job RV.

^^^That^^^ Standards are slipping. A great treaty for our ally Sengoku. Not so much for NPO. What were they thinking?
-
Neither did I and I signed it. Inferno's view is his own. I salute Polaris on an honorable battle especially the members I had the pleasure of fighting. I honestly hope to have a better relationship with your alliance in the future and hold no ill will.

Congrats on Peace Polaris. I for one hope we never meet on the battlefield again. Enough is enough.

why isnt 9mil/100 tech deal the standard
Gizmo replied to scolar visari's topic in World Affairs (IC)
I would much rather receive 9m/300t deals as a seller and know that I had the blanket protection of someone like DBDC and their allies. It's not like the whole Doomsphere doesn't protect their sellers like a lioness protects her cubs. Look at the war stats and aid of Doom Squad. They are not suffering from this war. They are growing. -

That's a waste of an aid slot. A much worse crime than over paying for tech. -

Gizmo replied to scolar visari's topic in World Affairs (IC)
I can see how you would think that but honestly I'm not. When I re-rolled I sold at 6m/200 tech and grew quite fast. 9m really doesn't sway me one way or another but I think it overvalues tech when 300 tech can be blown away by a single nuke (some more, some less I realize). When I was at MHA we used to have an aid chain (welfare) and 3m/50t deals to aid nation development with an aim of quickly getting nations a Manhattan Project. Nations would grow fast at that rate and still not have the necessary fundamentals to survive. They never appreciated things like TC's and back collecting because they didn't need to as the money would just pour in. The people who bothered to learn the fundamentals and grew slowly on their own without aid tended to be the ones that survived when war came around. The ones who were dependent on aid and lucrative deals just shriveled up and deleted in the first week of war. In most cases you are doing new nations no favor by having them grow too quickly especially with wonder laden low infra nations just laying around to devour them. 9m/200 tech is fair if not generous. -

Hmm.. 3m/100t when I started to 9m/100t? If it's in my alliance and I want them to grow sure but otherwise why? I have done that for allies at war but at 9m for 100t people grow out of tech seller to buyer way too fast. I think 9m/200t is fair and 6m/100t if I want to give a sweet deal. The main thing you want to teach new nations for long term survival is using all of your aid slots and if they do that their growth will be quite quick anyway. 9m/100t is just greedy. -
DBDC celebrates it's 2nd birthday in style
Gizmo replied to CubaQuerida's topic in Alliance Announcements (IC)
I think the new incarnation was earlier than 2 years ago because we fought you prior to 2 years ago. We declared on you January 18th 2013 and I think you had been in existence well before that. -

War can never be bad. Sorry you are on the losing end however. -
Obviously this is of the utmost importance but I still want to know the question everyone else wants to know. When can we have Argent comics again??

Oddly GPA and O ya were the calmest, most civilized people in the thread. Your observation is spot on.

O Ya Baby wanted to have a laugh and raided some neutrals who in the same spirit fought back. I see no crisis or incivility. Something as simple as this sure brings out the drama queens. edit- and by drama queens I mean Mogar.
