Whatever happened to STA's monthly reports?

Can't best alliance growth be determined quantitatively?

[quote name='Mr Damsky' timestamp='1293905112' post='2560164']
Coincidentally, after GWIII there were longer times in between wars, leading to a greater amount of boredom in peace time. The freedoms of nations were also oppressed by the Hegemony and those that broke it's laws were placed on ZI lists. Even today, the freedoms of nations are being repressed by alliances such as NpO, CB and all the other faux-moralists out there.
You claim that this world should have "broader appeal" beyond war. I do not know many people who find nation-building enjoyable, and many find it quite dull. Politics is not something the average nation ruler can experience, it is a realm for the elite of CN.
And please, spare me the lecture about how the unaligned of the world are being oppressed. They contribute nothing and are almost always inactive. They are far outnumbered by active, contributing (a.k.a those in alliances) members so for every one unaligned that leaves how many active nations do you think leave because of boredom? Of the nations that have been lost since GWIII the majority are not unaligned because there has never been 20k unaligned nations.

Damsky, there are many people that find nation building enjoyable. Just look around the forums; how many people do you see actively participating in politics or just simply visit the forums? Not much compared to the 20k nations currently in existence. What keeps the majority of those non-active participants around? Nation building. I've made this point before. The idea that more wars = more fun is a silly one. Wars are a time of major nation loss. People blame stagnation for the decreasing number of nations on CN but the largest decrease in nations come during major wars. This again supplements the idea that many people find nation building enjoyable and that losing large amounts of nation strength in a destructive war does not help retain nations in Planet Bob.
You claim that unaligned nations contribute nothing. To what exactly do they not contribute? Are they not part of the community as well? As I said before,the actively participating members of Planet Bob are outnumbered by those that don't quite care. So what's the difference between an unaligned nations that doesn't participate or contribute to politics and an aligned nation that does the same? Just because a nation join an alliance doesn't always mean that that nation suddenly holds a more important position in the world. -

Perhaps he's trying to attract raiders for a fight? Who knows! You've now deprived him of that opportunity.
[/quote]
No we haven't. He can decline if he wishes to do so. -
[quote name='Sandwich Controversy' timestamp='1293504671' post='2555777']
^
this too
And this nation has been around for over 1,000 days, and has grown to a pretty respectable size. Why does he need your protection? He's been around long enough to make a conscious choice to be unaligned. Any veteran player such as the nation in question knows the perils of being unaligned.
Also, every major contribution to the game has been done by someone in an alliance, not an unaligned nation. Prove me wrong.
[/quote]
Just because a nation is large and unaligned doesn't mean that it wants to get raided. Who knows, maybe he's creating a new alliance , perhaps he's planning something, or perhaps he just got sick of being in an alliance. Just because he knows the dangers doesn't mean he doesn't deserve protection.
EDIT: I forgot to address your last point. I never said that unaligned nations make significant contributions while they are unaligned. It may simply take them some time before getting used to the workings of planet bob before joining or creating an alliance and then making a contribution. -
[quote name='Sandwich Controversy' timestamp='1293504122' post='2555761']
What has any unaligned nation contributed to our planet, ever?
[/quote]
All nations were at one point or another unaligned. Every nation created has the potential to contribute to our planet. Some live long enough to harness that potential. However, there are many that are destroyed by raiders before they can even build their nations. We're simply trying to provide a conducive environment for unaligned nations to grow and develop an idea of what they wish to do in this planet. -
[quote name='Johnny Apocalypse' timestamp='1293503447' post='2555745']
What exactly do you hope to achieve by protecting unaligned nations?(Apart from a sense of moral superiority of course)
I assume you looked into why he's been made a public raid target before jumping in with a notice of protection?
[/quote]
Who made him a "public raid target"? Are there even nations that are "public raid targets"?
To answer your first question, protecting unaligned nations allows them to develop their nations in peace and gives them a chance to contribute to our planet without being forced out by raiders or without having to join an alliance. -
Will NEW be kept at war until they apologize?
-
That letter was rather melodramatic.
