infinite citadel

Glad to see Alchemy join the fray, good luck and have fun

This is sad to see, you were one of the few alliances I felt I really got to know while searching for tech dealers. Good luck wherever you guys end up.

Thanks again for doing this Gopher. At this point I imagine updating the war statistics is more time consuming than the actual sanctions race

This is sad, I like both alliances. Good luck wherever your paths may lead you

[b]How many players play the main version and how many play the tourney version?[/b] Standard: 25,968 Tournament: 2,262 (This is lower than normal due to a current war in Standard) [b]How big are top alliances and moderate sized alliances in both servers?[/b] Since there are different ways of calculating the top alliance, I'll give you a couple different answers: [i]Standard[/i] The largest alliance membership wise has 653 members, with the the 12th largest has 300 members and the 50th having 110 members. Nation Strength wise the largest alliance has 14.7 million NS, the 12th has 8 million, and the 50th has 2.9 million. Score Wise the largest has 57.11, the 12th alliance has 30.25, and the 50th has 11.20. [i]Tournament[/i] The largest alliance's membership is 201, the 20th alliance has 26 members. The largest NS wise is 390,794 NS, the 20th has 60k. Score Wise, the largest has 39.7, the 20th has 6.53 [b]How different are the two servers?[/b] Standard has a lot more politics and long term economics with wars that normally alter the political landscape once or twice every year. Tournament has more to do with war than Standard, however there aren't a lot of 'true' political strategies involved, more opportunism based moves. Economically, there aren't a whole lot of strategies to go by since there is no foreign aid feature. Any alliance can dominate the game in Tournament Edition, they just don't stay on top for more than a round or two. [b]If the main version does not reset, is it possible for a new alliance to join now and still be competitive and somehow catch up?[/b] It is possible for an alliance to catch up and be competitive through economic coordination. Every alliance tends to have their strong point as far as tiers of NS go. [b]Is the administration team fair and balanced? Even more importantly, are they active and do they care about developing the game?[/b] Yes, they are fair and balanced. They are active, making changes where necessary; however the changes aren't so drastic as to completely alter the game in a short period. [b]Is the game still growing, stagnating or in decline?[/b] I would say it is stagnating. When I joined 1000 days ago there were around 35k nations, now there are 25k nations. Basically, it's had its membership drops, but has steadied out over the last year or so.

I've had it happen once so far this war, and between the guys I'm fighting and me we've had 68 Aircraft destroyed probably close to 5 times? Apparently our fighter pilots suck when on the offensive

Come on Oyababy, turn the thong around, might feel better [/quote] Nerve Damage? This thread is simply sharing something that hasn't happened before in CN, a glorious achievement such as this shouldn't be overlooked!

Note to self: do not piss off o ya baby

Glad to see a return of the muppets, God Speed Airme

Have I mentioned I love the resistance lately? Good luck guys!

Congrats on the bloc. I haven't heard a lot about OSA, but Ronin and Genesis are very stand up alliances, so I'm sure OSA is as well.

good luck Vilien

Couldn't have said it better myself

Just wanted to note that she's already MK gov

Thanks TOP, this should be a fun one

tR is a quality alliance, I'm happy to see you helping out Umbrella/FOK

Corp has always been an alliance I liked, good luck guys

I like both alliances here, so I'll just wish both Nemesis and Genesis a good fight

For Stumpy:

Did TFD actually participate in wars during said rounds or did they just build their nations and withstand the nuclear rogues at the end of the round? Also Stumpy has been in quite a few more wars than you, with most of them being against unfavorable odds with reparations tacked on at the end, so yeah that might account for the tech level discrepancy. Back on topic, good luck to my allies in Umbrella. Have fun guys

I like the Second Unjust War to be honest.

Good luck STA

Great read as always Stumpy <3

Congrats on making it official. Quality treaty right here
