I restored my nation and it's still showing Affluent Population and Scholars, though my trade ring doesn't have the required resources.

Lock and load!

I change it at 5,000 KM, approximately 3,100 miles

Fine, we can spin that whichever way you want. I have all offensive slots full at the moment, so I can't find me more targets for now, I'm sure you can get a fine specimen of your alliance to counter me, I'm waiting. Fine specimen means: Warchest War improvements Defcon 1 Threat level Severe (Unless it's already been spied ofcourse) When you find such an exemplary character in your midst and send him my way, we can talk more about this.

I wasn't aware anyone in VE held 2 days of bills as an excuse for a warchest, please do tell.

Is that what you call a warchest? Well, I suppose we all call different things, different names, in different regions of the world. Where I come from they call what he has 2 days of bills.

Yet

Is measuring how much NS destroyed 2 days into a war how you measure results? Or is it sustainability? For plain decency, I will not publish spy reports here. But I recommend you ask your team-mate why he hasn't purchased anything since the 20th despite being active. Is this the sort of war-preparedness TLR encourages these days? Edit: As for the actual NS loss, I'm not the one nuking this one, do the math

I must be lucky I got the 4th then. And no, mine isn't inactive, just plain incompetent.

Shoutout to DragonAspect of DoD, good war partner to organize with. And a special one to Geodry of NG, 3 rounds rolling against each other and you're still in range and making me bleed for every bit of NS you lose, Kudos to you mate.

Welcome to the fray IRON, should be good fighting alongside you for a change :)

Oh, GATO declaring, any wars to back that up, or are you still looking for your guys in PM?

Damn, that was too easy, drawing this out of you was no challenge, I expected at least 3 more comments before you actually spoke your mind (MK's?) concerning VE. Thank you. Back to the original topic though. 1. We put our money where our mouth is, we don't hide behind Umb, which is more than I can say for some others *cough* MK *cough* 2. Well, you haven't replied to WC's first paragraph yet. I've quoted it for you below so you don't need to scroll through tiresome posts to find it. We went in according to the original plan, only, someone failed to follow.

I'm sure MK's warmongering horde of 42 fighting nations out of 94 (45%) really forced Equilibrium to the table due to the tantamount damage done by MK's said staggering numbers.

Just so I don't rush to conclusions, be concise. Take a deep breath, relax, now rewrite that comment in comprehensible words so we can understand them. What you list here are 2 possible scenarios for why we fought this way, unless I'm mistaken of course. 1. We didn't co-ordinate with our coalition for a war of attrition that will last this long. 2. We wanted an easy way out by losing in excess of 75% of our NS. Well, to answer both, we haven't bowed out yet, have we? Despite losing most of our strength we're still fighting for our allies. So much for not fighting a long fight and for wanting an easy way out. Fighting like this and remaining in the fight till now speaks so much for the alleged coalition strategy. PM was not needed to fight a long war, we're the living proof of it. Just out of of curiosity though, are you speaking your own views or echoing MK's?

So far none of my opponents have complained. The AI guys are totally amiable, and so far the only ones putting up a fight. Wish I could say the rest of my opponents :( The banter has been good though and almost always friendly.

Glad to see you guys join us

Shout out to Leggit of TPF for being a great sport and a fun guy to fight all round. Also, to Jrenster of NPO for taking all the beating while remaining cool about it, you pulled off a lot of heat off your other 2 team-mates.

Congrats to all for achieving peace. And special thanks and acclaim for Apparatus for a very brave fight. Well fought guys.

Happy holidays to all wherever you are and whatever you believe in and wish to celebrate. I'm Muslim and will celebrate Christmas tomorrow in memory of my grandmother who was a protestant and passed away 10 days ago. Please do pray for her. Merry Christmas to all

[quote name='Phaedron' timestamp='1324118603' post='2880490'] Agreed on the notion that pissing contests do not make wars any more enjoyable, winnable, or fun. The Apparatus is committed to keeping it clean here on OWF, while launching every single last nuke we have if need be in-game. [/quote] Now that is a notion I'm sure we all agree to, let's have fun and enjoy the war while it lasts.

My 2 apparatus targets are fighting bravely and I really admire them. We have not exchanged any messages but both sides are fighting valiantly and silently. I would sure love to have friendly relations after this war is over.

Yes, App is keeping on a very brave fight so far, keep it up

Like ^ said. I'm having the time of my life fighting Lanna to see if I can even the odds. We fight, exchange some gracious banter and then we each go on his way.
