  1. "attacking you for no real reason is not a good reason to beat on someone"

    ...and i can see why you'd hold that viewpoint...


    Sure there are reasons to keep someone you were attacked by at war, such as to demonstrate that it is costly to do so, and to dissuade future hit-and-run type attacks. Another might be to demonstrate the ability to keep the war going, or some interest in hurting the opponent more. These are perfectly good reasons for e.g. MI6 to continue fighting us.

    I think you'll agree that none of those reasons really apply to us peacing MI. I don't think anyone was ever in doubt about how this war would transpire.

    While this may be true, it has been a long time since we seen 7+ alliances against a single alliance. Not since the last time NPO led a bloc actually. 


    Uhm. By my count, almost every war has had at least one alliance fight more than seven other alliances. You probably want to rephrase that post a bit.
  3. I personally don't have issue with raiding, although we aren't a raiding alliance.  The Chow raids as described above I see more as organized rougery.  They are two different aspects of raiding, with the latter being less desirable.  If data existed, I would expect it to show that normal raids have minimal impact on game decline, and chow raids, while still small would have slightly more impact than normal raids.  

     

    Data does exist, you know.

  4. Perhaps we should do less anecdotes and more data? It should be possible to check the deletion rate for raided new nations versus the deletion rate for non-raideds, and similarly the deletion rates for (small) raiders and for small non-raiders. That should at least give a hunch of how it works, and is a much more minor undertaking than a worldwide raiding ban.

  5. AAs need to quit playing this game so conservatively. AAs that go out of their way to have treaties on both sides so they pick the winning side. AAs that rather sign 3 more treaties than drop 1. How many alliances have someone to attack outside of 2 treaty chains these days? In other words, nut the $%&@ !@#$%*es and lets do this !@#$.

    Bye GOONS

     

    Actually, according to my (reasonably accurate) data on currently held MD treaties, the median shortest paths between two AAs on the treaty web is in fact 4 treaties long. The mean is 3.74, with a standard deviation of 1.6.
