Well not the hate so much as the forum snd irc activity both are dead.

Thank you Kong and I am working hard to right to the ship.

This is not the appropriate place for this, take it to the suggestion forum. But since you did I will make a comment. I think there is actually less war now than there is with 10 mil startup. The SE mentality pervades with such big nations.. check every so often and pay bills then collect every so many days. I thought 10 mil was too much at first but 100 is rediculous and if the admin goes with higher startup cash wars should be longer than 5 days and spy attacks should destroy more cash lets seperate the skilled from the pretenders.

Don't try and hyjack my call out post. Take this to the tournament suggestion area. I will say though that the extra startup cash only made noobs bigger and did nothing to stop the builders from building. I bet 80% of te nations have less than 30 mil in WC despite such huge nations. Hell even wars are nothing but nuke slugfests at that size. I think perma wars should be happening with such cash available.

Then they should band together and invade TE.

What has happened to the TE community? Wars are boring with no trash talk or bickering and these forums are ghost towns compared to days gone by. And everyone sits around with thumbs up their asses letting Avengers and others build uncontested. Lets just give them the awards.

I want everything to go back to the way it was... call me a traditionalist.

I see alot of familiar faces and some new ones which is a welcome sight. Should be fun particularly next round.

Thank you Commish time to dust off collection of daytime emmys.

Hard to stay away :) Tell Dogbite to buy some beer and I'll stop by for a chat some night.

Yeah but we may see a revival next round.

Not to be rude but you do realize that numbers mean little in TE. Usually the biggest AAs, number wise, are usually the softest targets. What matters is activity and your screenshot shows that you have that. I hope that they learn and do not leave the game but comeback stronger and better.

And a perma war?

By God, I think he gets it.

Indeed it is.

I do not know what is going on with the whole Eurasia thing and my comments are not to be construed as taking any side or actions. Bullish behavior is usually responded to in kind and worse. So the perception may be that Eurasia hit one AA while they were down and so the others felt obliged to maintain the status quo in some cases or pre empt a potential similar fate themselves. TE history is filled with similar actions, while I was gov in OP we were known for them and everyone knew it, we would hit to prevent curbstomps on even our enemies. Each side in such conflicts has their own perception. As to your remark regarding training noobs it is in the AAs interest, especially in todays leaner TE. What AA wants bloated numbers which makes them a better target for a more skilled opponent? Please excuse my grammer and spelling I am on my phone.

Thanks auctor, now I have to straighten out my SE nation.

seems like a recruitment to me and I am unbiased.

I am coming back and just checking to see who is still here and in charge of which AAs.

AAs being friendly with each has been going on forever and will continue to do so. The problem with smaller AAs doing it is that they often post these formal agreements and in so doing make themselves and their allies targets for bigger AAs that otherwise, due to the unwritten fairness rules, would not attack. These treaties effectively lump them together as a bigger AA without the benefits of in house communication and leadership. The bigger ones do it secretly, or not so secretly, and it effectively eliminates targets for them causing the other bigger AAs to align and creates blocs which have led to much animosity between the people and groups leading each side. My advice to smaller AAs is to talk privately and secretly and team up to take on bigger AAs as for defense it rarely works because other AAs, some have called them TE police in the past, will jump in to maintain fairness.

This ^

Some of you know me, some may not, some may not care, some may be overjoyed, but in any event I am back. Despite only a month left to go I figure I can tinker and be a pain in someone's ass. I need a TC if anyone has one available and would prefer an advanced trade swapping one but at this point I will take what I can get. I am a free agent going forward with no animosity towards anyone, a carte blanche so to speak, and looking for a new home this round and in the next so feel free to hit me up, please no scrubby AAs I have not been gone that long. http://tournament.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=1000570

Direct me to my mass recruitment message that is not how I roll and I think that even Stevie will acknowledge that.

Stevie swore he never asked for help, my how things change over time. Only thing that remains constant is that Gid forgives OP does not (nor forgets)
