We regard alliance buddies (other than the attacked) attacking a FOK nation as unprovoked. So we are honour bound to defend the FOK nation. Thank you for making that clear to everyone.

I think I missed that chance. There is a saying: Better late than never but sometimes it's so late that late will be never. To all the e-lawyers: Hi. We allow techraids. Once again: Deal with it, or don't. We have rules for techraids and punish those that don't abide them. When a FOK nation is attacked: We deal with it diplomatically. Never has one attack on FOK of just one member turned the lion into a meat grinder. When a FOK nation attacks someone else we expect the same courtesy we extend: diplomacy. If attacks of one FOK nations immediately turn into an alliance declaring that nation ZI and simultaneous attacks... the lion will be woken up. Again, no one should wake up a lion since it never turns out good for anyone other than the lion. Lions > You. In short: We allow techraids. We handle things diplomatically. No alliance can simply declare a FOK nation ZI and expect the lion to remain asleep.

We allow raiding. Deal with it. The attacked nation could just attack back and the other FOK nations would just get comfortable in their couches with popcorn and watch the spectacle unfold. Or he could say: Attacking is bad! Give me reps. We would support that Wolf nation in those endeavors since techraiding is at ones own risk. Threatening to ZI a FOK nation (or getting multiple uninvolved nations involved): That's waking up the lion. Lions have a morning temper. So I'd find another solution to this minor problem. A solution that doesn't involve waking up lions. Just a word of advice. Since it also doesn't help you come here (with many many more uninvolved parties) instead of to our forum.

Talk about getting off lightly.

All being in warmode ensures you'll be down on your knees in two weeks. Having roughly one third in peace mode (with some coming out after a week and new ones re-entering since too many alliances/players mess up staggers...) they can drag this war on for two months at least. I call that a good tactic and it takes coordination. Everyone in warmode, some might find it honorable: I think it's incredibly stupid. So NPO seems to think long-term (whether it's winning or rebuilding) while Valhalla will certainly be talking peace terms in a week. I can never call the second a 'warrior' alliance. It could even be more cowardice.

Deserters deserve their infra to be shot down. Shot down hard.

Now we now the definition of fighting on: Making several threads about the war and how good you are at it. Then peace out when the first round isn't even over yet. CN will never have a decent war lasting for more than week since half the alliances on the (supposed/expected) losing side will have peaced out already. Then it's just yet another curbstomp. Yawn.

Everyone alliance should target deserters. You can't benefit from protection when the sun shining then run away screaming like a little child when it rains. It's just utterly pathetic and unbecoming to any man (or woman) to desert.

A surrender PM is easily overlooked between 30 messages I receive per day because of the war. I doubt anyone reads all those messages since they are all the same. I just mass-delete all PM's.

I was about to post a 'Hiring: Skilled Engineers' on the forum. Since my SDI hasn't stopped a single nukes. Yesterday the SDI of one enemy stopped 12 of mine. The other days some were thwarted as well. So the ratio is: 16 vs 0 (enemy vs me). That's a bit dodgy! I have to nuke again tonight, only have a few remaining and if they aren't all thwarted I will actually be surprised. It's a good thing I don't gamble because with this losing streak I'd be down millions.

TigerCzar of Invicta. Thanks for thwarting 13 of my nukes. We can play around for a while since none of these other 5 alliances attacked you! Let's give each other give a pretty green glow.

Jihad. Welcome to the pain train TFD. You'll have the ride of your life.

They should sell all infra and send out all tech. Otherwise you get hippies surrendering after a few days coming out unscathed while the winning alliances loose half their infra etc. A loser shouldn't be allowed to get a better deal out of a war than the victors.

TORN initiates the war and then comes out unscathed while 99% of the alliance will loose some serious infra. Somehow that doesn't make sense. Finish what you started.

There's a passage I got memorized, seems appropriate for this situation: Ezekiel 25:17 "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in thename of charity and good will,shepherds the weak through thevalley of darkness, for he is trulyhis brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with greatvengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." Jihad.

Thank you NPO. Let's get this party started.

Good luck to you VE. It's more than logical to cancel treaties with allies if you don't think they have your back. Since when you think that the treaty is useless from the onset. So good game to you. To victory (this needs a Johnny Drama photo but I'm lazy).

I always think the Poison people are Polish. Not sure why. Anyway, yay and hey to you. Jihad.

Papa Smurf doesn't let everyone enter the Smurf village. There is a high-tech security system to keep unwanted characters out of the peaceful Smurf village. That's why you only saw a gate when looking for the village.

Shawn, come to IRC. We can accommodate.

Hello, I've been attacking a nation. This is the current situation: Number of Soldiers: 3,130 (4,545) Total Population: 51,933 Supporters Clearly, his military force is way below 20% of his population. It even is below 10%. To my knowledge he should be in anarchy... why isn't he? His nation: http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_d...Nation_ID=26781 Am I missing something?
