I agree with Hershey, Tevron, and Kapleo all at the same time o/ Piejonk!

Totally. NG should start collecting pixels.

So there's "Forces Returned Home" as opposed to Defeat Alerts from the other thread: So if I hit someone with 100 troops and they have 0 at home but 50 deployed. I don't get a DA, their deployed forces are called home (forces returned home message) and not the DA. If I hit someone with 100 troops and they have 0 at home and 4 deployed. They should get forces called home and a defeat alert (I'm rusty on if this happens in one attack or if I need to send a second attack once their forces are recalled. @im317's issue here just sounds like there is a scenario where the forces called home message doesn't fire when troops are recalled. @Lord Hershey's other thread seems to suggest a slightly different issue where the defeat alert doesn't fire. (This one I would guess might be the difference in rounding between the battle odds screen and the defeat alert function). The first issue seems annoying but the second issue actually prevents damage from being done that may have ought been done by the Defeat Alert mechanism. Thanks for taking a look @admin!

Great blitz. Very impress.

Runs GATO into the ground. Runs Claws into the ground. Talks smack.

Welcome back! Tamarinde just reactivated the other day and was having trouble reaching the others. You might connect with him. Good luck on the re-launch!

NATO/FTW updeclared for the first month of our war. My first war I was down declared with a 220% tech disparity. And meanwhile you are complaining about not having time to prepare "incompetent members" and then suggesting you need to cull your own alliance? This folks is leadership at it's finest.

Long live the active!

This is a step forward for the community that Oculus is closing in on admitting what really happened. This is by far the closest public acknowledgement of what happened but skews and leaves out several key factors. NPO had previously been approached with concerns about Doom as had IRON and both chose to take no action and instead Pacifica formalized ties with an ODP. Instead of working with allies, they let Doom run rampant. When Polar informed Pacifica of the intended war on behalf of the anti-doom coalition, Pacifica said "No" and threatened the current Polar leads into a corner and they made a decision (as I understand it without their councils consent) to then turn on NATO. Pacifica informed allies that they were pre-planning to cancel on NATO if we took action (which they did not discuss with us) which is a violation of our intel clause. They then immediately told the world we had violated our intel clause by not informing them of our war on their ODP ally (incorrect), cancelled on us, and then declared on us. Classy as always. I mean who doesn't try to make examples out of their most loyal allies? In their arrogance DA failed to recognize that we also have intel feeds and knew this was coming. Let's be real. Pacifica saw the playing field and it benefited them to keep Polar around until they would undoubtedly seek revenge later. VE and GLOF had no idea, even after they declared, what the war was about. IRON was the only group that was trying to figure what was really going on post war "acknowledgement". DT, well DT loves a good reason to show off how doom they are. So I don't think this outward projection of an organized and unified response is worthy of posting on the OWF. Did IRON not selectively pick targets out of respect for treaty conflicts? How hypocritical to suggest that Polar was selectively picking targets that were advantages declarations for one coalition vs the other. And insinuating that Polar was involved of the counter planning at each phase of the war would be inaccurate. Due to their involvement in OC and the intel treaties there was plenty of segregation. Polar did a stand-up job of balancing those responsibilities. Assuming they were informed by the bloc mates of specific counters there's a potential case for grumping about the 24 hour period between notice (assuming it was delivered and that intel treaty conflicts weren't sited). In return for your plotting, framing, and backstabbing... Polar had enough and good for them. As for their war, DT declared on NATO.. Polar's allies. Or was that another "acknowledgement" of war. Regardless, plenty of CB there if you need any at this point in the conflict. You allowed DBDC to pillage Polars bloc(XX) into the ground unchecked. When DBDC performed mass ops against NATO in a pre-raid intel gathering you did NOTHING, in fact after dismissing concerns you allied them. Pacifica outright plotted against and betrayed NATO even though we addressed the issue without touching Oculus. Oculus are fantastic allies (better be careful there @Knights of the Grail) Polar just left the den of jackals or perhaps jesters, and as Oculus scrambles to collect more allies as they see a unified Bob close in on them, you will in fact not demolish anyone no matter how many "allies" NPO tries to throw in front of themselves. Anyone that doesn't meet Pacifica's participation standards needs to understand they are next on the chopping bloc. Be ye warned Until then. Time to get back to grilling.

Well that was easy...

NPO is getting the better end of this deal.

Congrats on retirement and a long career. Hope you stick around and enjoy the community without the stress of work!

PGS had entry points on both sides. Sorry to see that you wound up where you did! There's still time for redemption though! You know what to do... (#NukeFL)

Thanks Pie!

I don't know if GLOF has even taken the time to understand why their three members are fighting this war. Oh man. The cool kid list everyone needs to strive to be on! Adding to my CN retirement checklist

I'm down for Devo's Dumb War. The pre-arranged war never happened and this is the fallout so we might as well =P

96 hours on this one... well 94 now

Butterfly in the..... wait. What am I doing?

@Piejonk hurry before Canik moves up the ranks!

Then go defend your allies in Sparta instead of waiting 6 weeks to join a gangbang if you want a good fight. You're a bit late to the party if you don't recall. Only by about two months...

o/ NpO Go get them peacebirds!

Colored lines apart it's a good point right?

Remember that time your allies lost 16% of their NS in a week and you did nothing? If I were Claws, I'd have been pissed.

Nope. Let my designated nuker hit you. I'm enjoying feasting on the lower tiers I have a 2-1 damage ratio outside of your 50k tech down declare war lol. So.... thank you?

It's called restocking which requires that you wave in and out of peace mode. Peace Bird Peace Squad should try it some time
