    Thanks for making this community something a little more special.

    I guess I can volunteer to help with occasional updates, as I'd rather not see the Sanction Race go defunct.

    If no one else stands up to take over, I can confidently say that I could provide monthly updates at the minimum. Being honest, I'll never be able to do daily updates on a consistent basis so maybe warstats will need extra hands.

    Nations need a certain amount of time to recover post war to a level similar as before it (recover infra and warchest). This can be something like 6-8 months depending on the nation. Add to that that wars are 2-4 months long themselves , and you have a yearly schedule. Having it more often than that would mean nations perpetually getting smaller. The only real alternative is having smaller wars more often where it's not the same people fighting.

    Maybe that's what needs to happen to bring some life back into our world.

    More wars = Less large nations = less of an ability to grow to such heights = less emotional investment = less pixel hugging = more wars?

    We just need the first domino to fall, and to fall on someone other than the usual suspects (XX, former SF, and co.).

    "Constant" - didn't any English teacher ever tell you to never use words such as "constant," "always," etc? Nothing consciously performed by humans can ever truly be constant.

    Within the context, it's implying that "constant" will only remain so as long as the New Pacific Order exists.

    So for the NPO, it is a constant. It just so happens that the NPO may turn out to not be as immortal as our ideas.

    I gave this a chance because you linked it in another thread and honestly I got down to the third paragraph and skimmed other important-looking bits of your argument.

    I don't want to come across as harsh, but you're really trying too hard to make NPO out to be a bad guy. Not only is your argument full of holes and uninformed, it's actually completely false on some points.

    I like the effort you're putting into everything. I think if more people cared like you do this game would be more interesting. I just want you to do it in a way that doesn't make people laugh or ignore you.

    Again, not trying to be harsh. Just my analysis.

    If I might use a metaphor:

    Imagine I formed a rogue alliance. In said rogue alliance we had a sizable group of people, say 40 or so.

    The name of my alliance is "Ghettoville". I role-play the black leader of an inner city gang and the members all role-play black members. We create propaganda pictures, avatars, etc. of stereotypical black people. We post with poor grammar and slang.

    We declare war on NPO for being on the red team because our gang colors are blue. The whole time I portray this war as a gang war between inner city, majority black gangs. I make a few announcements about how the NPO is encroaching on our turf and stealing our drug profits.

    Offensive or satirical?

    It's all a matter of perspective and how thick your skin is I guess. Satire is meant to be offensive/shocking on certain levels, that's the appeal of it in some ways. Mushquaeda rubs me wrong in some ways (like the joke threads about "identifying jews in CN" on the MK boards), but it's clear that they're just role-playing a satirical role. Nothing more or less. No need to take offense where none is meant.
