Honestly Death I expected better from a former alliance mate I respect.

Some excellent suggestions Crownguard, particularly your suggestion of buying tech from a "guaranteed market" at the rate you suggest, I really love that idea. With regards to your PM suggestion I would rather see a max limit of x number of days then being forced out of PM. I'm a relatively large nation and would like the ability to hit PM to reload if the opportunity arose, just not indefinitely. Long term PM is what drags out wars imo and eliminating that would go long way to shorten them.

Bump. :)

Great thread, I sincerely hope we can come up with a viable solution for our declining numbers. On that note I will throw in my suggestion on how we can increase player retention. I had some spare time earlier today and decided to try and recruit some new tech sellers for my alliance. It killed me to see that 9/10 nations I sifted through at ~25 days old were three or more than three weeks inactive. IMO the problem is not the number of players creating nations, we have plenty, it's finding a way to retain them. Here is my suggestion, 1) Highlight the benefits of joining a community (alliance) in CN in the welcome message every nation receives upon it's creation 2) Offer a cash incentive (6m?) paid from the game itself for joining an alliance. Highlighting the benefits of alliances in the initial welcome message combined with a cash incentive could potentially be a great catalyst for encouraging new players to be more open to recruitment which in theory should increase retention simply by interacting with the greater community.

LOL, I was thinking the same. Congrats on two... fabulous alliances finding each other.

Members leave alliance at war, join the other side=pieces of !@#$ IRON fails to defend ally on a mandatory defense clause, join the other side=pieces of !@#$ IRON gov lecturing about cowardice= hypocrite.

IRON lecturing about cowardice and morality after failing to activate your mandatory defense clause with NG... are you kidding me? IRON are every bit the low life snakes in the grass as the pinheads you are condemning.

Bump.

LOL!

Congrats Tsayka on your promotion and your retirement Sir Humphery. I hope you will still be around to chat Humpy, I have always enjoyed chatting with you. Tsayka... not so much. :P

Congrats to both parties. :)

Congrats to Polar and the other guy!

Congrats to those elected.

As you know all in good fun D34th. Also, we miss you. :(

Congrats to both parties.

Oh dear, you missed my sarcasm. :P

Couldn't have done it without you. I'll look into making you an honorary tiger or something for all your services to the STA.

ODN are good folks, looking forward to the future.

Or alternatively he was referring to NSO since TPF activated the oA clause in the NPO treaty, essentially defending NSO, just a thought. Which was a shitty cause imho.

I can't believe TPF is catching flak for defending NPO again. TPF has always stood by NPO but that's not good enough for some. Not surprising the only ones complaining are non allies.

Post your nation link and I will spam it out to our AA, 6/200 is preferred but 6/100 sellers are also welcome. Reliable sellers only please. :P

Congrats to both parties.

Grats on the new treaty.
