infinite citadel

Congrats, I missed the Grämlins of old. Also I'd like to wish Synth good luck personally, you were a good member of MK while we had you.

[quote name='Haflinger' timestamp='1305240043' post='2710910'] You guys have been at war for months now; 10 wars is not an impressive number. We've got nations with over three times that. [/quote] As do we, but they are in the lower tiers. You don't have nations with over 10 wars that continued to stay in the upper tiers. I know this because nearly every nation on your side that came out of peace mode above 60k NS was dropped to 30k or lower by the time their war ended, which left targets hard to come by for large nations.

Sad to see, rest in peace genesis

The GRL will probably reenter once NPO's upper tier comes out of peace

[quote name='HeroofTime55' timestamp='1304459112' post='2705490'] Can I commission someone to make a graphic of a goon beating up on someone with a baseball bat, while telling the horrified onlookers that they are "just jealous you cant be one of us!!1"? [/quote] If someone does it, please make it signature size. I'd like to wear it.

I'm glad to see peace finally reached, I'm sure everyone else that was in the negotiating channel can breath a sigh of relief that it's finally over.

[quote name='Denial' timestamp='1304048270' post='2701704'] Yeah, we've always based our foreign affairs decision upon which alliance gave us the most 4s and 5s in a rating thread. [/quote] We've been outed

no war

Mostly Harmless Alliance - 2 Could be one of the major players, but never takes the initiative. Green Protection Agency - 5 The true neutral alliance. Fark - 5 Always hard for me to judge because of their OWF posting ban. Independent Republic Of Orange Nations - 6 I've got to respect their ability to rebuild. Sparta - 3 Same reasoning as MHA, but to a lesser extent. World Task Force - 0 Orange Defense Network - 10 Great allies and I enjoy working with them. The Order Of The Paradox - 10 The alliance most similar to MK structure/activity wise. Umbrella - 9 Best economic department in the game. New Pacific Order - 8 One of the poles in this game, wish you would have come out of peace mode/been more aggressive on the FA stage prewar. Global Alliance And Treaty Organization - 5 Pretty indifferent. Viridian Entente - 8 One of the few alliances that shake things up. The Democratic Order - 0 New Polar Order - 8 Same reasoning as VE. FOK - 7 Good allies, although I haven't gotten to know many of you on an OOC level due to the language barrier. R&R - 5 Indifferent Mushroom Kingdom - 10 Best community in the game. Nordreich - 7 Respect your military and economics. LoSS - 3 Not a fan of LoSS. Nusantara Elite Warriors - 1 Let's attack a recently disbanded alliance that's protected. The Legion - 1 I didn't believe the whole Paper Tiger stigma until I actually fought you guys. Valhalla - 7 I respect you guys. Multicolored Cross-X Alliance - 2 It's only a 2 because I'm shocked you're still alive. Nueva Vida - 1 Let's protect every AA that is a good raid target. The Foreign Division - 5 Indifferent.

The Grand Lodge Of Freemasons - 3 Legacy - 1 Never heard of them The Templar Knights - 1 Just seem to be another Maroon alliance The Order Of Light - 2 Same reasons as MCXA. Asgaard - 5 Don't really know them that well. iFOK - 6 I generally liked their shenanigans. Commonwealth Of Sovereign Nations - 4 Seem to be pushed around by their allies. Athens - 9 You guys have always been great allies. World Federation - 0 When I quit this game, I will rogue the top tier of wF just so they can't gloat in the Sanction Race thread. Goon Order Of Oppression Negligence And Sadism - 10 Love you guys Fellowship Of Elite Allied Republics - 3 Global Democratic Alliance - 2 Never really done much noteworthy. Argent - 6 Good economics, don't know them other than that though. Guru Order - 5 indifferent Christian Coalition Of Countries - 6 Were fun to fight against this war, good sports and such. Ragnarok - 4 You chose Polar over SF, and bad past history on top of that. The Phoenix Federation - 7 One of the few alliances on the other side that are somewhat competent, you've just gone a while without winning a war. Random Insanity Alliance - 1 Every treaty and/or thread you guys post makes me want to gauge my eyes out.

If UK loses I'm going to have a terrible weekend

[quote name='Hydro' timestamp='1301026650' post='2675673'] I use the black market and I don't lack access to organized tech deals. More to the point, I still wouldn't expect alliance mates to pay 3/100 if I chose to use the infrastructure already in place. 3/100 might have been a good deal back in 08, but 3 years later, that's just a straight ripoff. In any case though, the reps being given by CD will account for something between 10-20% of the aid already given to you by your allies (As reported by you in that monster thread). Not a bad showing really, considering CD only has 65 nations and you managed to selectively target the few remaining nations that they have which are capable of pumping them back up. [/quote] MK's standard rate is 3m/100t, there is no reason we would calculate the deals at 3m/50t because the black market says it is the 'standard' rate. As for 3m/100t being a rip off, you realize 50 tech only costs ~800k right? That means you make 2.2 mil off of a 3m/50t deal and 1.4 mil off of a 3m/100t deal. Hardly the rip off you make it out to be, in fact I'd say it's pretty fair. The reps being given by CD are the only pure reps we are asking for at this time. The rest are in the form of tech deals at 3m/100t.

Just wanted to point out that the TSI/NADC numbers aren't pure tech reps, but tech deals. Edit: Saw you already noted the TOOL reps were in the form of tech deals.

We've sent 375 mil to GOONS in the last 10 days, Umbrella's sent 654 mil to GOONS. We've sent 141 mil internally. Although Umbrella's still sending much more than us, I'd say we're still playing a major roll. As for the peace mode part, a little over half of those nations have been sent there within the last week. NPO can't say the same thing.

We're still sending aid out to GOONS and could take care of ourselves if we needed to.

[quote name='Ivan Moldavi' timestamp='1300336273' post='2666994'] Now I am not CN technical genius, even though I am your Minister of Trades , but wouldn't a 10% rate of continuous peace mode be fairly consistent with the concept of banking nations within an alliance? Are you saying that alliances no longer have banks? (This may be true, I am genuinely asking.) [/quote] Standard banking nations, if you have them, should be able to both war and send aid.

[quote name='Gumpper' timestamp='1300335815' post='2666972'] I might be a young nation but as I read the statistics right now, The of NPO's 523 Nations only 187 are in peace mode. This is approximately 35.75% of the nations of the NPO, most slipping in and out fighting the war. Of the Mushroom Kingdom's 185 nations 56 are in Peace Mode.. approximately 30.3% of their total nations... are we seriously still getting flamed out over a five percent difference? Just saying... Reason for Edit: fixed misspelling [/quote] It's because most of our 56 have been slipping in and out the entire war, where as you have a good 50+ nations that have stayed in peace mode for the entire war, which happen to be in the upper tier.

Good luck, I don't know many of you guys, but The Office is my favorite T.V. show so I hope you guys do well just because of your theme

[quote name='Andre27' timestamp='1299335522' post='2653485'] So you got lucky. Let's see if that luck continues. As for comment, i make mine towards a person and not an alliance. The comment in question was aimed at someone talking tough while in PM [/quote] God forbid a bank be ordered into peace mode.

I remember Yev mentioning something like this was going to happen a while ago. I only wish I could have gotten MK's up before you guys got yours up

[quote name='Axolotlia' timestamp='1299216331' post='2652024'] Doesn't this break the terms you have with wF? [/quote] It doesn't say they can't declare on NPO, only the alliances attacking them.

[quote name='Wu Tang Clan' timestamp='1299216075' post='2652017'] While I detest the motives of the original war, FAN and NoR do have the most reason to fight Pacifica. (Assuming MK got their pay-back in Karma, which imo they did. And that GOONS is indeed different from the original). I wish both parties luck, and hope for a speedy resolution. NoR, I <3 you... I just don't like the timing of this... Good luck, nonetheless. [/quote] MK didn't fight NPO in Karma.

[quote name='mikk206' timestamp='1298794837' post='2646037'] This does not make sense How's peace mode and 1on1 related? Does the fact that you have Umbrella, GOONS and FAN along side you make the peace mode any different? [/quote] Perhaps there are NS ranges that need to be covered. Just a thought. If it was 1v1 we'd destroy their upper tier and move on, alas it wasn't. Tough luck I guess.

[quote name='Maelstrom Vortex' timestamp='1298794761' post='2646036'] Aww.. I'm so sorry we didn't roll over and play dead for you. *tsks* [/quote] It's cool, I'll enjoy handling your reps (It's funny because it's true)

[quote name='Confusion' timestamp='1298794176' post='2646026'] To be fair you did do the same thing to NPO in SE... and to quote you - "Let's gang bang our biggest target because we're !@#$%*^ and afraid to attack them 1 v. 1" Confusion. [/quote] If there wasn't peace mode in SE, we would have gladly taken NPO 1 v. 1 and ended our misery of that game with that. Unfortunately there is peace mode and we're forced to wait until they come out to finish them. So no, it's not the same. Infinite.

[quote name='mikk206' timestamp='1298794194' post='2646027'] And the butthurt continues. Here: [img]http://fashion.elle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/vaseline.jpg[/img] [/quote] Thanks for the vaseline, you'll need it later this round!
