    Everybody will get their chance soon.

     

    But this is all quite off-topic. As of now, the polls are quite clear - 82+ percent of people want this duel. Certainly that cheese-eating surrender monkey Armen won't back down now?

     

    Shush. We've moved on.

    Sure, I odn'tcare. it's inconsequential at this stage, my point was as soon as he was unaligned the line started forming  for sloppy seconds.

     

    His ineptitude is matched only by his bravado.

    It's true that it's easy to do, but I think the better question to consider is: what would a person actually accomplish by doing that? By intentionally staying tiny (assuming they have the resources to do otherwise), they're limiting their targets to other nations in that range. The vast majority of those in range will be newer nations. so most of the time they would just be knocking around new players without the means to defend themselves. 

    • If they're roguing due to boredom with peace, it's a pretty cruel way to go about it, and it probably wouldn't even be particularly entertaining given that their opponents wouldn't be capable for fighting back in any meaningful way.
    • If they're roguing for casualties, they'll barely get any at that size. 
    • If they're roguing due to a grudge, their grudge is probably not with those newer players.
    • If they're roguing to try to be a nuisance, the damage they do at that size can be fixed with an aid package or two (unless the event is discouraging enough to the new player to drive them from the game entirely, but that would be a loss for the whole community given the state of the playerbase).

    As far as I can tell, pretty much all online games of a sufficient size have a contingent of griefers, so they must get something out of it. Probably not anything that enriches the soul, though. I imagine that's why we haven't seen nations embrace this approach despite it becoming mechanically viable thanks to the log-in bonus.

    Why does anyone do anything? I wouldn't recommend it as a course of action but the option is there. 

    E2A: I suppose in a situation where an alliance doesn't want to surrender to a larger opponent they could use this new mechanic to basically force the larger alliance to keep a group of nations low to prosecute a war against people wop just won't give up. That could force a "white peace" settlement. I guess as you say, the player base is so low now and disconnected and inactive we're not going to see anyone do anything new.

    I went out with 22B and I think ended up in the !@#$ tier with around 10B?  that 10B could have lasted me at least 2  years based on consumption, but I got bored after a bit more than a year

    I was thinking about this the other day. Now we get $3million a day just for turning up once you shed all the infra and become a 1k nuke turret with all the best wonders even a modest war chest could last almost indefinitely.

    While merely an ex-Kaiser, I think I can speak for all of NoR, past and present, as we continue to laugh our 'collective' asses off wish you the best while you bounce from one failure to the next continue your journey in this world.

     

    You miss all the shenanigans as much as anyone you wily old walrus.

    This is a big day for LSF. We've got a lot to do, we need to remake flags and such, sort out out Discord channel and work out what we're going to do to antagonise NoR see if there's a way to regrow. We need to get members. 

     

    LSF is, despite our much diminished size, one of the oldest alliances founded May Day 2006 (because of course May Day), we've got members who were around for all the wars with NoR most significant events in the alliance's history and above all we still don't have or want a government or leaders.  We work based on mutual respect, honouring the agreements we've collectively made and deciding together what we want to do next.

    Good to see that the LSF was the most capable army again. Dividing damage dealt by damage received shows the LSF did 20% more damage than received 💪 while the mighty wolves only managed a meagre 6% 🤡

     

    LSF 208736.33 / 173101.85 = 1.21
    UCR 904754.97 / 971846.67 = 0.93
    SWF 54819.49 / 79080.50 = 0.69
    COMECON 5358.84 / 16566.26 = 0.32
    TW 1240595.28 / 1173669.63 = 1.06

    We've always been the best because we've never cared about infra or much of anything really.

    @Sabcat - Just want to say good fight man.  While post-"surrender" was a bit of a garbage shoot alliance wide, the first scrap we had was epic.  You handedly beat me when you built up after admin gave me the TE donations haha.  Still probably the most fun war I had... 

     

    Some of the UCR folks gave me some entertainment too -- @Wobblies :D  and I appreciate how hard @bolivar tried despite being totally broke.  To the full time turtles... well you suck lol.  I blame you for letting @kerschbs retake 13th in casualties from me! 

     

    Either way, it was fun all. 
     

    -AA 

    Always a pleasure to fight with someone who enjoys it. Good luck with the rebuild mate.

    NG is not bailing TW out, they're bailing Mongols. TW just benefited indirectly but they did not needed it at all. They've been on the offensive for quite a long time. If anything, it was UCR that needed bailing. Just to keep it impartial.

    If they were bailing Mongols out they'd be declaring on PGS, but they're not. Just to keep it real.
