  4. An Open Letter to RE from Eurasia

    in Tournament Edition Open World Forum

    Posted

    Dear RE

    We know you want to honor this 'gentleman's agreement' you are all so proud of and thus join in the dogpile on our alliance, but could you at least honor what we consider to be a necessary part of any such gentleman's agreement and inform us of your intent to do so such that we have no reservations about countering all your nations, rather than merely the ones that might have gone rogue?

    Regards,
    Caladin

     

    PS.
    What is it with TE alliances and launching post-update blitz's?

    I have to ask; who would you have had us attack, if you were in my shoes?

    You know that only one third of your alliance will fight. 
    You know that the members you do have are less prepared than any nation you will fight; most joined at least a week late.

    You know you have a reasonable nuke advantage, but a disadvantage in technology and wonder count.

     

    With this, I saw three potential targets, omitting those currently in a war

    NDO, TPC and RE.
     

    RE had fought a nuclear war only a few days earlier than NDO & TPC, so I thought it best to discount them; it would be harder for them to recover than for TPC or NDO
     

    Out of TPC and NDO, NDO was the strongest, and so that made our decision for us.

     

    Perhaps we should have waited longer, but the three days in between NDO's wars did give them time to exit anarchy, rebuild & collect. 
    I'm not going to apologize or retract this war, and if people want to whine over it then I really don't care; I'm just going to sit back and let the nukes fly, and if someone else dog-piles in; well, we've probably got a few nukes to spare :D

    You see, Caladin - here is a problem. On one hand, you deserve  a praise for introducing new members to TE, which is very important. On the other hand, this war is far from being fair. NDO are nice people, you know.

    Most likely you and your alliance are going to pay for that sooner or later and as a result, most of the first time members from your alliance would never return after such bad experience.

    So, both your alliance and TE in general would lose potentially good players. It happened like that many times before.

    I always regret when there are new TE members, who are not getting into established alliances like Citadel, where they could be taught properly, but are joining such new AAs with some mismanagement :awesome:  . As a result, many old AAs are slowly going downhill and new alliances like yours most likely would disappear - and every time I'm considering it as a loss for all of us.

     

    I'm not bs-ing with you here, I'm genuienly concerned. I only can give you an advice: admit to yourself it wasn't the right decision and approach NDO to peace out immediately. Good luck.

     

    Edited: spelling

     

     

    What happens happens.

    In any case, we are a relatively inactive AA that can't fight at a level that you would expect. We have just 16 nations fighting. 

    If someone takes an issue with that, and hits us because of it, then so be it; we're just here to fling nukes around and have a bit of fun and we're just as happy to fling them at NDO as we are at any other alliance.

    I remember you've been in OP for a while, Caladin. Could you please tell more about your new wonderful alliance? Nice to see you starting with a grudge. Welcome :popcorn:

     

    Haven't been a member for a long time, tbh; last time I played would have been back in 2012 or 2013 :/

     

    As for this wonderful new alliance? Large and inactive pretty much covers it :P
    Most of us haven't played TE before.

    And the biggest down declare of the century award goes to...

    Edit: This declaration is pathetic. We just came out of war, and are in the process of rebuilding, and are outrageously outnumbered, and out-nuked. You lot clearly have no honor at all. Pathetic indeed.

     

    1. War with almost no damage

    2. Most of our nations aren't fighting

    3. Should have bought Manhattan Projects

     

    Anyway, what's done is done. Time to blow each other up and revel in the casualties.

    (Also, I'm really regretting not buying more tech now; my aircraft losses are ridiculous :()

    --------------TRANSMISSION--------------
     
    NDO confirmed as remnants Eastasia.
     
    -----------ENDTRANSMISSION-----------
     
     
     
     
     
     
    [spoiler]
    Stats will show this to be a horrendous down-declare.
     
    Fortunately, only a small minority of our nations have declared their willingness to fight; this puts us below Eastasia in terms of nations, infra and tech and as such this declaration should be relatively fair.
     
    Should we find we have more nations fighting than we expected we will attempt to discover Oceania to balance the books.

    So, inactive leaders should be replaced by active people such as yourself? I believe I speak for all of us when I say an inactive Rebel Virginia is much more preferable than an active Junkatywin.

     

    Were you the nation that spent six months on the GPA AA pretending to be the Minister of Nuclear Proliferation?

    If so, then I fully agree. That was hilarious when I read about it (and supposedly surprisingly effective)

     

    Tywin, why can't your antics actually be entertaining?

    in Black Market

    If you want to sell tech, Pacifica will buy it from you at a rate of 9/300 for as long as you want to sell.

     

    You'll need to register on our forums, but apart from that all the organization is done for you; you just ask our robotic overlord for cash, it orders us to send you cash, and then you send out tech to pay for that cash.

     

    Anyway, if you're interested, post here: https://cn.npowned.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=153991

  16. Nations in the World

    I think there are a few alliances around with the data to generate that sort of number. Though, I also think that those alliances wouldn't have it in an easily accessible form; it wouldn't be an easy number to generate.

     

    There was a time when you would go into the Alliance announcement forum and you had a reason to go to the second thread page because active topics were being bumped back to it.  Now?  There are what...4/5 active articles?

     

    Wish this was still the case; I kinda blame it on lack of real rivalries. No side really despises the other side any more; it's just a cycle of meaningless war after meaningless war. If we actually had a reason to fight, I think it could be difference

  17. Top 20 alliances Analysis

    in Open World RP

    Posted · Edited by Caladin

    • NPO - Likes tech. More precisely, obsessed with tech. (Blame Frawley)
    • GPA - Like tech, but only because they never have had the chance to lose it.
    • IRON - Likes tech, but less so than before. Still has silly levels of it.
    • Umbrella - Used to be tech gods. Not so much any more. Eclipsed by NPO's new obsession.
    • NpO - Hates tech. Abhors it. Considers 6/200 tech deals immoral. (I'm not sure how tech deals have any correspondence to morality, but to each their own)
    • WTF - Like tech. Used to like it more, but a recent noodle incident changed that.
    • ODN - 
    • VE - Likes tech. Probably would have liked it more, but ate GOP a little too late; should have done it before their noodle incident. 
    • RNR - Dislikes tech, but only because it doesn't help them use the & symbol.
    • Sparta - Likes tech. Is somehow good at getting it. I don't know why, but Sparta keeps doing competent things and it keeps surprising me.
    • NATO - 
    • Valhalla - 
    • NEW - Probably likes tech, but I don't know. I don't speak Indonesian.
    • DT - Likes cheap tech.
    • MI6 - Likes tech. Wants to use it to open Q's R&D division.
    • Pax Corvus - Doesn't like tech. Objects strenuously to attempts to make them like tech.
    • FAN - Doesn't like tech, unless it leads to bigger guns.
    • GOONS - 
    • FARK - 
    • SNX - Hates tech. Well, probably likes tech, but has no idea how to obtain it. (Someone give them a viceroy already)

    I'll pass this along to the Pacifican Media Core, see if any are interested in taking a crack at it.

    While I'm posting, and on the topic of tech, if you and your alliance are looking for reliable tech buyers, the NPO is willing to buy all you can sell & run all the logistics as well. Just send me a PM if you are interested.

  20. I am OK, thanks (Before I say goodbye)

    Dang!  I've been so inactive over in GPA for like the last year or so that I too just put in my resignation with them myself today.  Sad to see you go buddy....good luck with whatever comes your way!!!

    I have to agree with Helbrecht

    And, more importantly, I have to wonder why you didn't come join me in the NPO? :(

  25. Aid Recieved/Sent awards

    in Report A Bug

    Posted

    Current record for one day aid sent is 93 slots; on the 3/05/2015 Pacifica sent 111, on the 1/05/2015 Pacifica sent 99 and on the 27/4/2015 Pacifica sent 98

    Current record for one day aid received by alliance is 89 slots; on the 3/05/2015 Pacifica received 105, and on the 27/4/2015 Pacifica received 91

     

    Pretty much, all the aid records are broken; we've beaten most of them multiple times; the seven day sent aid we have beaten 52 times this year, for a high of 629, and the seven day received aid we have beaten 25 times this year, for a high of 559.
