Aqua however flourished today. MHA shot up a third of a point today stealing the biggest gainer by a long shot, also sprinting passed two alliances.

GPA continues to be prosperous. My little Aqua friends at NATO and Fark continue to tick me off by playing their little game of tag. FAN stopped losing strength. And by the looks of it someone forgot to feed The Grämlins. Passes of the Day: TPF Passes MHA NATO Passes Fark Valhalla Passes TDO

As do I.

I'm hoping. Its not going to be quite the same with an unsanctioned GGA. But from what I can see GGA is going for some more average strength. Maybe VE had the idea with 400 member cap awhile back didn't they?

Illuminati passes The Legion. The lower tier race seems to be speeding up as GUN passes GDA with Invicta not far behind. FAN continues to drop. If they go below a score of 5.00 they will be removed.

Yeah I know. It doesn't take long after you get used to it but it can still be tedious. Just for everyone information some days might have odd update times but I do have two jobs. I will update it everyday though. Once in a blue moon I might forget but don't worry. Also I'm scrapping the 200 member rule. I think I'll just decided when an alliance is large enough to be on. Most likely if they are big enough to be ahead of at least a couple contenders I'll add them.

Coming from two considerably small alliances that weren't well known, to going to the top of the stats and political safety. You've come along way baby, keep it going. Worst Year Ever Federation of Armed Nations. These guys used to be pretty much at the top last year. They were near 8 mill strength, well respected, and one of the best reputations for fighting ever seen. Then all came crashing down as their former allies took vengeance on them for major mistakes. Finally obtaining peace, they were later attacked by Pacifica and her allies. Obviously these guys are the clear winners for this category. Commentary: Pretty standard day today. There were a few passes, but all from races that have been going back and forth for quiet some time. Valhalla and everybody favorite little pets have joined the race. This post will be posted twice. I hope the mods don't have a problem with it, the first post will be edited daily and the second post will be their for record keeping.

I've used Dongs since my nation was created. It made me lol when I saw it. Also

In a couple months I will probably get one. I'm over 30k NS right now and am only 5.6%. It is going to be very valuable in the future. Luckily in the mean time I have max nukes.

What about if you were in the top 5% and you got knocked down during a war. Your supply of nukes ranging between 20-25 wouldn't last that long now in days with the new addition with spies and SDI now would they? If you have a Manhattan Project you will be able to buy nukes regardless.

Yeah, its been about 5 months for me too.

The Federal Aid Agency could also be used to pay reps after a large war, not sure if anyone mentioned that one. Also to the MCXA guy who said there is no reason to buy these Wonders, have you ever thought what would happen if you got caught in a war in which your opponent had some of these and you didn't? You would be fighting under huge odds.

Tech raiding is where nations attack you in order to gain tech/land. If you are unaligned then you are a prime target. Lucky for you the game gives you a little time in which you can chose an alliance before you are up to being attacked.

Well yeah the best adivce anyone cna give you is to join an alliance. Many diffrent alliances offer different things. Some offer a start up bonus, some are just historically the best. I would suggest you research what alliance is best for you and make an educated choice.

Eh I usually have 3. The time it takes me to not collect and search for the resources I want is worth a lot more than the +1 happiness.
