    Once again we find Bob in an apocalyptic state of war, of which the magnitude of which is contestedly one of the largest seen on this planet so far. Now as any IO or praetorian guard in the NPO can tell you, the key to victory is vigilance. This vigilance becomes more and more important with increasing sizes of conflicts by nature as you will have more nations screwing up your staggers and more opponents slipping into peace mode. During a war against extremely proficient opponents this is even more important, as their proficiency both in war and peace times denotes an incredibly high level of activity and therefore they will take every chance to slip into peace mode if that chance is presented to them.
    Getting to the point at hand, if we look at TOP's top 15 nations, 87% of those have managed to slip into peace mode. Given that they are fighting on the aggressive-turned-defensive side, you would think it would be no problem for new arrivals into the conflict on the C'nG side to sort out either more spaced out staggers or waves of nations to attack the enemy to prevent such percentages of nations slipping out of war and into peace mode. Obviously not. It seems that the new hegemony is still learning the ropes when it comes to aggression against inferior numbers, which is something the old hegemony would know about. These old Hegemonic alliances always had utter destruction or causing almost irreparable damage in their minds when waging war, and over time, it seems to have paid off. The new Hegemony have had no such history and are therefore seemingly at a disadvantage in that sense, even though the destruction of TOP and IRON is the desired outcome, meaning that in that respect of the war, they cannot expect to succeed, as they have also stated, at least through the voice of Archon, that a VietTOP outcome is also not desired. While all this transpires, the New Pacific Order begin their steady climb back to the number one spot, undoing all the "good" intentions of the Karma War in my eyes, leaving us no better off than one year ago (give or take a few treaties).
    This is just one of the reasons why I believe that C'nG & Co. must learn from this experience if they want to acquire the hardiness of other old Hegemonic alliances, if they expect to control the political and military spheres of this game for any period of time.
    Thank you and good night.
