There is some hope after all, that it will be resolved and we finally can move on to further meetings. Also, my chickens are much happier with having more space around. Like myself :) Cheers

It may not be the end, ddgr8. One of our members made an honest mistake and nuked after the peace update. He received an angry pm from Warhammer, that other Citadel members will be punished for that, with no benefit of doubt that it was deliberate. Our member suggested to sacrifice his nation to please the mighty warriors. I've sent a pm to him too. It's hard to expect an unbiased reaction, but let's hope that position of strength isn't everything in this screwed war. There is a lot of anguish and bad blood in a lot of places; getting personal in pms directed at me as well. As I've mentioned before, I don't worry much about all the crap directed at me: this is my last round both as a Citadel Leader and as a legit member of TE. Didn't try rogueging before, but I might when I'm bored lol Good news is: I've built a chicken fence today and they all are free range from now on. Sorry, no good news in TE nowdays.

Nice to see a fair war for a change. Well done.

For me, it's all very simple. When only one side has chances to win, there is no "have fun!" possible for both sides. In the past, the attacking AA would have a slight updeclare, just to offset the blitz advantage. Sometimes a significant updeclare - to challenge your own skills. The way things go now - it's not much about being skillful ect - it's more about the timing. Coming back to the beginning of my post - about giving chances to fight and have fun. I still believe RE did the wrong thing by interfering into our wars last round. However, they attacked us with 8 members initially and stretched themselves on other AA as well. So, despite being naughty, they still gave us a chance. I have no idea how ADude manages to preserve so much energy for "hiss"- trolling after all those years lol. I'm sick and tired of the same "arguments", repeating themselves again and again. Juvenile crap like "crying", "take a tissue", "tears", especially coming from mature members. I didn't respond to your post in the past about "everybody having unfair wars". I've had "easy" wars - that's true - like anybody else. Mostly with OK stats, but weak or inexperienced alliance. I never entered other AA's wars though. Why am I posting? TE has degraded together with most Leaders having mutated beyond recognition. Used to be friends of mine. It's not a "normal" evolution - it's a disease. The results are visible - the numbers. This round will be my last. PS: ADude, you are very observant about where the real TE money is :). I pretty much can see how "far the rabbit hole goes" with this war lol

Warhammer, don't put your words in my mouth. Further, I don't know DD at all. About nukes - please use them all if you can - the more the better.

The warriors had at least 4 times more nukes than we did. TBRaiders, I think you know me much better than anybody else In the current warriors. So, there will be no surprises for you. Best of luck to you, bro.

Here you can see how really sick TE became. Komplex, a really nice guy, just expressed his wish that the environment, where we spend part of our life, would become more enjoyable. What's happened after that? A sequence of hissing and sputtering, aimed at some people in particular and getting personal by trolling/stalking. Nothing else left to say? You really want to turn this thread into another hateful clone? That's why I've stopped beginning new threads, including DoEs - there always will be a "well-wisher", who'd turn a good-natured thread into something resembling a pigsty - with squeaking and dirt thrown around. Going around and around in circles, aren't we? ...

All the best :)

Komplex, I wish it as much as you do, mate. Don't see it happening any time soon though.

Thank you for your kind words for bringing up Citadel as an example how an alliance ought to treat it's inexperienced members. It's nice that at least some people appreciate our efforts, which benefit the entire TE community eventually. It's time consuming indeed and sometimes frustrating when someone you spend a lot of time on is leaving TE or is moving to a different alliance. There are a lot of rewarding moments too, when you grow your own "elite" fighters and they appreciate your efforts and stay. I must say, once you are getting experienced in teaching newbies, it's much easier to see who is who at early stages and spend your time on each of them in a more efficient way. Much easier to do nothing at all and wait for experienced "hired guns" to drop in.

I agree that one week is too long . The break shouldn't be longer than 2-3 days (except the Christmas break). Changes...what about fluctuating the effects from the existing improvements and Wonders (let's say, random 3 per round) and introducing a "New improvement or a Wonder of the round"? If people would like it, leave it as a permanent one. If not - remove it for the next round. Starting cash may fluctuate too, just nothing extreme please. I've been suggesting for a long time to give a mandatory or optional peace mode for new nations. Gives the newcomers some time to have a look around and not to be wiped out on the second day. Might help to retain them and boost the numbers. peace mode of 5-7 days.

Don't remember exactly..somewhere in the range of 12-14, I guess.

Welcome back :) I was an LE member in later rounds than you'd been, have my own alliance now. Restoring LE is a good idea indeed, long overdue.

Never mind us, friend. We are a humble alliance, mostly preoccupied with our internal affairs and trying to keep away from big politics. That's about it.

Couldn't agree more

As an afterthought.. I'll follow my own advice to Citadel members and stop posting here. No point - RE was definitely avoiding real wars for itself and has chosen a lame excuse to have an easy stroll instead of a regular war. Well, once I was upset with the warriors attacking us 5 days after our war when they had none -under the old management, a few rounds ago. Well, RE - you beat them. That is much, much lower. Have any doubts you'll pay for that? I don't. The end.

We've had a few members who couldn't participate in our wars from the day one due to RL. We didn't have more members than the other 3 AAs, we've had less. Many active members were stretching themselves out and sometimes one would attack 3 or 2 would attack 3 opponents. So, we 've saved a few and left them as reserve, because they were coming too late. WE were going to have a short break and have one more end-of-the -round war. So, once those members were coming up, they took up a few "leftovers", when the result of the war was clear. What right do you have to decide that we need more wars, when these ones we've had were statistically fair when we've started. As I remind you again and again - you've had other alliances to fight, who didn't fight AT ALL. Your long posts have no meaning at all. You bet I have grudges. Any alliance would. Nothing to do with us having "friends" in RE. WE have none. Rest assured, there is no chance we'll become friends after that. Avoiding your own regular wars by attacking someone who is already been engaged and was prepared better and fought better than their opponents? By being lazy and finding soft targets instead of really doing something meaningful? When someone has a war, mind your own @#$%^&* business and find your own! Would be RE happy if other AAs would stagger you one day before your wars expire? Go to HELL!

Yours is a continuation of previous grudges. Here is a start of new grudges for no apparent reason. When TE was new? It's changed. The same, like TPC you are in now is not the TPC I was in. We will fight the staggering attacks of RE, of course -despite them being fresh. Helps to plan things for the future.

We do war, as you can see. The end of the round for you already? In a 31 days long round? Without having your own "regular" war? "Honesty" will always stay what it defines and did so for ages...Low is low, doesn't matter how beutified it has been. I never interfered with other wars. I can type @#$%^&* as well and I can act on that too.

Citadel members, please restrain yourself from posting here. Not worth it. Let's just fight. There will be a lot of fighting ahead, get ready.

Both the wars and the round itself are going to end soon, so since neither side approached us about peace yet, let those wars to expire in their natural course; no new wars ought to be started after the expiration of the first wars. I've just noticed the stats were omitted from our DoW. When the war started, we've had 147 nukes and the opposite site had 124 nukes. Our ANS was lower than the one of Catharsis and a bit higher than of the other two AAs. I thank all our opponents for the fight, especially the veterans of Catharsis and Andy Capp who owned me many times over :awesome: Hopefully, this war will help you to get rid of the deadwood as it helped Citadel :)

Once per day is fine, but requires a bit more time than a few minutes during wars. Not sure you'd find someone telling you the history of TE for many hours though. To truly understand it, quite a lot of reading/playing is needed. No quick fix here. I think that's all I can offer for now

We can do it for you, but it would be you reading our guides and only then asking. Also, we have high requirements towards your activity and discipline. Mechanics - they are a bit different in TE than in SE. Politics - you can truly learn them only if you are in the government. It's not going to happen in your first round :) Our alliance is Citadel
