I promised myself and some folks that I wouldnt reply again... but I think this is an exception. I love this. This is great.

This is the link to the unofficial CN discord: https://discord.gg/TTkxCJQNsb You can find folks more easily there. Higher likelihood that they will be "live" when you are. That discord channel has links to discord channels for various other alliances

Just so we're clear... you think these logs show NG sitting by as it grows itself peacefully? I am genuinely interested. It's not every day I read about other alliances being referred to as tools for taking down whales, being rolled afterwards as they rebuild, or trying to turn a bloc to different ends... If that's what you believe, then I can at least understand why y'all are being so mean, I.e., you actually dont see anything wrong in that discussion

It seems I've misjudged you, CS

we offered white peace

Congratulations! I dont know KORT so well, but CRAP is excellent

No, I'm grumpy that we agreed to a war where you get to fight CLAWS and a small number of allies. Which, from what I can tell, is what NG/Cobra wanted. I am indifferent as to whether or not you get rolled. I am opposed to you getting what you wanted. It's not that hard to understand.

Just commenting to say I had no desire to see ng and cobra rolled. I was (and am) indifferent on that.

Great play, I highly recommend it

I dont mind the war. I have too much infra anyway. I dont like that cobra and NG are getting what they want. Personally I wish the wars would last longer (and be much bigger) than scheduled/agreed, or be white peace.

Tanko: if you were asking about responsibility, then fine. I take full responsibility for the actions of claws. I stand by them. I thought you were asking for me to explain or give reasons. I can't do that - it wasn't my call. Johnny, I find I am agreeing with you. Which is not what I expected but I can work with that. To be clear, it had been my hope that we (claws and cobrasphere) could be friendly even if not friends. But if it must be keeping our distance, then so be it. I have left all your discords - have fun.

The only nation I've ever seen to say this is Banned

See, that's how I feel (but in reverse, of course).

I mean... I didnt plan it. I plan econ stuff. My AA and allies plan FA stuff. I stand by them even though I think the peace negotiations were handled poorly from what little I know (I also wasnt in those either). You can play make believe otherwise I guess, that's cool.

oh my bad, I thought they showed you the evidence. That's what I had been told. hmm, I might share myself, I'm sufficiently annoyed. thinking about that stlil. And yeah, I dont call the FA shots, as I have repeatedly said on discord to various folks. so perhaps my alliance and allies are stupid, that is what I'm saying, yes. too bad the alternative is Cobrasphere.

also, I didn't plan anything, to be clear. I'm just grumpy that COBRA and NG are being rewarded for misbehaviour

> cobra and NG plots to take down CLAWS and co during a treaty period > apparently CLAWS is the aggressor?

congratulations cobrasphere on getting exactly what you plotted to get

@admin Would you consider linking to a player-created calculator? I am working on this calculator created via google sheets: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t88_N-yIWS55zhJP6HRwWK-4f-OxFBi9m_pZoS_DMUM/edit#gid=97872572 There are still bugs*, but I am working them out. The calculator states on it that "Access to this sheet is provided free of charge and with no warranties as to its accuracy". (one of the bugs I noticed is that my calculations for maximum infra total cost reduction seem to be off... I used "sum" of the effects and got to -42%, but if I recall correctly, the actual combined maximum is something like -39%. So I'm assuming that's a result of compounding and that I need to check my formulas).

Oh, and I like the higher costs for more days inactive, since the damage caused is greater with more days inactive, and since it creates interesting decision: to collect and break IRS (risking another IRS), or not?

I am OK with or in favour of these suggestions, but I think it's better to make IRS more expensive rather than removed... Current formula: = $10,000 + (20 x enemy nation strength x enemy number of days inactive) Suggested formula = = $3,000,000 + ($300,000 x enemy number of days inactive) This basically means IRS cost will vary between $3,000,000 and $9,000,000, so it's not a decision that can be taken lightly against anyone. The current formula is arguably too easy to use to keep a nation down (as Highroad says), and it's discouraging to players. The fact that it's such a serious weapon means it creates genuine tension (arguably a good thing). But I think we've all seen the tension get too high. Raising the price keeps the possibility of its use (which is an interesting dynamic), without allowing it to be a way of keeping the enemy down.

Yes, this is something we dont really know how to do, hahah

Hi admin, This less a bug and more obsolescence... I can't get the resource calculator tool to work anymore because Flash is broken (for everyone, I believe). When I try and use the tool, it doesn't work even when I try to "run this time" or right-click and hit "run this plugin" (this was the solution that I used to make the tool work for the past 12 months or so). Now when I do that, I am taken to a website that says Adobe has started blocking its flash player. Will this be solved? Although I mostly have the important resources and their combined effects memorized (perhaps I shouldn't admit that?), I doubt that's common, especially among the newer players you're trying to encourage. And even I like to refer to the calculator. Screenshots below:
