[quote name='Xiphosis' timestamp='1292738776' post='2543978']
I'm loving the overlap of people who agree NEW are wrong on this. Finally, world unity.

Whether they were wrong or not, people believe they'll cave. -

I really wish you'd be wrong. But nooooooooooooooooo, I'm sure that NEW's allies will slap them in da backada head, and they'll agree to pay reps. Or, Int'll have pressure against it that'll make them back down. Something.

Most likely NEW. -
I foresee a lot of whining and then one side backing down.

Might want to update your nation so we know who to contact in-game (and abide by forum rules).

#4, plus I jacked up the last two days of war bad with some peace offers.. then got nuked unsuspectingly. Well, it's better than nothing.
And thanks Clash, PS does like to destroy things.

Number of Soldiers Lost in All Wars: 64,201 Attacking + 124,496 Defending = 188,697 Casualties
Casualty Rank: Ranked #2 of 1,239 Nations (0.16%)
Not too shabby overall, up-declaring in hellweek is always fun. I'm having a good scrap with bubba (rank #1 casualties), but the rest are fairly done now (arcticllama put up an excellent fight though!)
So wise rulers of steve, do I save my remaining massive warchest and rush for the flag on the last day or buy up a ton of infra tomorrow after final bills and go for 250k+ casualties? Also, two defensive slots open if anyone wants some..
[/quote]
Do both, you can't be stopped! -
I'd say GOONS, and by GOONS, I mean GOONS' allies. And by GOONS' allies, I mean PB. And by PB, I mean the lack of competition to them. And by the lack of competition to them, I mean The Legion. (Or something like that.)

I'm catching up, but one of the guys is turtling and another is Laz, so it's unlikely that I can overtake him. Still, I should hopefully get into the top 5 by the time the round ends. -

i can't see who PS would be helping considering at this point it looks like a wildcard will take the flag, however i wouldn't call confusions accusations crazy, since PS nations did form a splinter AA to hit all those PS didn't officially declare on beforehand
[/quote]
As schad said, one of our nations happened to be Office themed, so naturally they joined that AA and had some fun this round. I couldn't make the update for the war (as you saw with when I attacked you after update) so I went in early with him. Been fun fighting you and the other guys so far Laz.
I don't really mind Confusion talking; it's been providing some great laughs.
Schad, you sent me because I fight quite a bit better than you. -
This is hilarious. You're so confident in yourself, yet, you haven't been right on anything in this thread yet.

You guys in PS are uncanny, I believe that is the 3rd time in the last 2 rounds you have hit our targets
Good luck and have fun blowing up some pixels, for OP its back to the drawing board.
[/quote]
Confusion, does this post mean OP is trying for flag then? I mean, they were going to hit a bunch of high NS nations with a bunch of nukes, it must mean they want a flag. -
Well what are the odds of this.

[quote name='lazaraus45' timestamp='1291934285' post='2535168']
so what would you have done, hit the guy in bill lock? that would have been much fairer indeed.

War isn't fair. -

I never have a social life, i just like having Clash as my secretary
Not sure whether you're referring to the SF DoW on RE, or the content in the DoW, if it's the former, then you shouldn't be surprised, SF is a strategically logical counter against you. if it's the latter then lighten up, it's the end of the round if i'd wanted to actually thrown insults at RE, i'd have asked Clash to post specific insults.
1. I did war RD,
2. Hitting Arcticllama was uneccessary because although this is TE not every war has to be all out, the fact that it was 3 days long shows that it was hardly a serious war, more of a warm up.
3. How is the fact that i got Clash to declare for me relevant?
[OOC]i wasn't home last night to get up at 5AM to post a DoW and Clash was the only person on IRC at the time[/OOC]
4. not every move alliance makes is focused on satisfying it's leaders bloodlust, look at RE's front, DF has the lower tier with a few CTA members hitting RE's upper tier, SF fits nicely into the middle which made RE a good war choice, it's not my fault RE don't have any nations in my range.
[/quote]
Meant to say Arct, not RD. I saw your war on Rd.. and it was a great war.. you, at 11400-11500 NS, hitting Rathouse at 6400-6500 NS. Yes, that is definitely a great war. Exactly what I would have done too. Leave alone the only guy who would had to declare up on to declare on someone you top by 5000NS. Yes, it makes perfect sense. -

Reduction of nuclear missiles?
But mine are only half as long as regular ones, as is!
[/quote]
I heard that it wasn't your nuke that's half as long as a regular one... unless that's what you call it.
-
So let me get this straight.. Laz doesn't war RD for some reason (presumably he's being nice because that guy was in nuke anarchy? ...I hope not as this is TE, but whatever), then declares (er gets Clash to declare war for him) on RE where he's way too big to actually hit any of their nations..

[quote name='Burning Glory' timestamp='1291852247' post='2534287']
The game will not let you attack while you are in anarchy, Arct is in anarchy
Welcome to the fight RD!!
BG.
[/quote]
Really BG?
He's not in anarchy, hence he could have declared. He was in nuke anarchy, though, and it's understandable on why he didn't declare.
I'm still waiting to see if he ever does.. though it looks like the wars are peacing out.
So, I guess knowing why he didn't attack.. the real question is why didn't Laz attack him? Couldn't this be what that guy was talking about with people putting themselves above the AA's? Or wars just getting soft? Hmm.. -

Sorry, guess it wasn't clear. YOU was arcticllama: http://tournament.cybernations.net/search_wars.asp?search=1000060&Extended=1
He declared a war for his AA, yet didn't even bother attacking anyone. -

[b]War tactics[/b] - If we are ZI'd it's over because our casualty count is important.
[b]War profit[/b] - Casualty count increase.
[b]War peace[/b] - It's been a fun war good job to all. Look at my casualty count now!
[b]War length[/b] - As long as it takes to do the job or be defeated trying.
[b]War strategy[/b] - The enemy might have secret allies so we better be ready for a heavy counterattack and make sure our friends are ready as well just in case.
[b]War reason[/b] - These guys are doing this and it does not fly with us. So we are going to go to war until they change or are destroyed/disbanded.
[b]War peace[/b] - We aren't going to give them peace until they do what we want. Either they surrender or we do. Victory or death!

I will say this: I agree with much of what's above. It seems wars have gotten to an AA declares on another, they fight for a few days. Before people start getting bill-locked, the war ends, and everyone goes about their business.
I would like the wars that are about either winning or getting utterly destroyed trying. I cut out the New/Old war system, as this is still prevalent today (see: LE vs. OP/OB war), but I agree, it does not happen often. The chaining part is much the same.. it's still happening (see the Warriors, TFK, WAPA vs. TPC and friends, the Abyss countering, CTA/THP countering them, RE countering them), but you're right- it's not the norm. Finally, many of the DoW's aren't about something another AA is doing (hell, if I was in charge of PS, we'd just attack Confusion over and over.. selling infra to continue to destroy him) and more about just having a war for the heck of it. Heh.
TL;DR- These things still happen, but they're not that frequent. I would like more of it, but it would have to be a paradigm shift in TE, which is unlikely to happen. -

For the Superfriends to let go of some infra..
we clam it as our rightful gift tithe:)

You say that, yet YOU have yet to declare a war... Interesting. -
[quote name='Wired' timestamp='1291620860' post='2531804']
Damn! Just saw one of ours and one of yours rowing away holding hands. That's just wrong.
Oh well, a boat full of rum and war might not be the best spot for "their kind"...sensitive types I suspect. We best deduct them off your numbers - BFF - 43987 and PP 26559.
Me thinks them Pirates like their fight as much as their rum.

This guy? http://tournament.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=1000949 -
Varianz- the war LE/PS/tW and a couple others had last round against RE/OP/TPC and whoever else had some 800+ nations involved.. though it didn't last that long. :/
