    Whether takers of his bet will weasel out on this (absolutely valid) semantic argument is another matter. Allies, side of coalition in a war, allies, signatories of an official pact. Poteytoh potatoh in reverse.

    edit2: My bad, the latter definition was intended

    It has to be an NSO ally, I deliberately made the bet that way.

  6. Does anyone else find the Tetris/NSO/NsO Legion war distasteful?

    Oh my, no!

    Legion - props for attacking.
    Tetris - they're are a lulzy AA, and lulz they make.
    NSO - they are a belligerent AA, and wars they join (+props for voicing their feelings on Tetris actions while standing by MDP pact).
    NsO - if for nothing else, props for blitz.
    IAA involvment I'd agree was ill-advised (or rather according to one member - made despite good advice), but distasteful?

    That said, did you just win 200 tech Sabcat? :lol1: I have to admit, if you didn't close the shop before I finally got through Legion DoW thread, that'd be 300 :v:


    And as an IA person, CN is never boring to me ;)

    No, I've won no tech. The bet was that NSO would call in allies. I don't believe that anyone allied to NSO has declared (or am I wrong?)

    Stop whining and do something about it if you don't like it. I'm noticing a trend lately after NPO got beat down is that there is so much more whining going on about each and everything someone does.

    I'm not whining as you put it, I'm stating my position. As for doing something about I have switched my AA and I@m currently fighting 2 offensive wars.

  10. Announcement from the New Sith Order

    Did you make sure to include the Legion Constant in your calculations?

    L = M(Nation Strength) x A(alliance membership) - C(Competence Level of alliances Legion is Fighting)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    FML(Infinity)

    Come back after double-checking your results.

    You should speak to Varianz, he's got a bit more of an idea what's going on than you're demonstrating. As he posted in the NsO declaration thread just now:

    [quote]Somewhere there's a post of mine from like 2 weeks ago where I stated there was no way NSO could beat Legion 1 on 1. Adding Tetris doesn't much change that. CN is a numbers game, and 2000 nukes going up against less than a thousand is math even you can do. Legion might be terrible, but it only takes tiny bit of intelligence to be able to click a button.

    It's a stupid and loaded "bet." For one, if the point is that calling in allies is a sign of weakness, well it's Tetris, your ally, who's called in allies first. Secondly, Legion has been aggressively attacked by Tetris who is joined in mutual aggression by NSO, it is only natural that Legion's defensive treaties be activated, that's how treaties work.

    It's all based on goading. There are those that want this to escalate, they're pointing at stats now less than 24 hours into a war to show that Legion need help, that they're failing. It seems to me that it is not in Legion's interests or their allies for this to escalate. The number of declared wars, anarchies etc. mean nothing, just from simple maths it's clear that Legion can fight this war for a very long time with things exactly as they are even if (and some will say it's not an if) Legion make a complete pigs ear of fighting. They have no need for allies, they could go away for a week and barely notice what's going on.

    As such I'm prepared to bet 200 tech (100 with WC and 100 with Varianz) that NSO get someone else in before Legion do. I believe my analysis is sound, I'm not 1000 tech confident of it though.

    1000/50=20 slots. That's only a little over a month of sending tech. I have a sizeable warchest, so even after a few rounds against Legion et all I'll have plenty if I lose the bet (I won't).

    Take the bet please.

    I offered a 100 tech bet which WorldConqueror has taken. If you want to as well you can, I'm not betting 1000tech with you. You either want the bet or you don't.

  23. Ideas on Revitalizing CN

    in Open World RP

    Posted

    I'm not sure about players who've been around a long time but after a year and a few days here I'm not looking for any game updates to keep me interested and I have no plans to delete my nation or let it die from inactivity.

    I'd say that I was lucky though, I got an message in my inbox in the first day or so of joining the game from Legion. I joined, I got game guides, a forum that's very active with threads about the game and not about the game. I got help setting up trades, I got tech deals I got to be as active or as inactive as I like. Say what you like about Legion but they're the reason I'm still in the game. I'm sure many other people could say similar things about their own alliance.

    I think if admin could do one thing to improve the retention of new players it would be a link in the sign up email to a page detailing the importance of alliances with links to forums, treaty web and history.
