[quote name='kongland' timestamp='1330413659' post='2929846'] PS - probably not after this war . A shame though - I've carried out bcortell's request this round (don't you think I don't know why you wanted that), but we've had further hostilities from you instead of gratitude. About this war. No politics, guys, I'll tell you as it is. It looks like you were set for a 5 days war, not 15. The first 5 days you were even slightly better than us. A room for improvement perhaps? Well, you've made a bold statement about destroying Citadel, but you have failed - let's face it. Never mind trolls here. Otherwise, enjoyed the fight. [/quote] Boy, you really hate that we brought in a nation to fill in the gap left by an inactive member. You had 11 active members of Citadel fighting in the war? Guess how many members we had? 11 INCLUDING the extra nation. We brought him in the make the war fair, not for an advantage. PS had about 5 or 6 members that were truly active this round in building their nations. You took the warchest of our top nation and used it as an example but the majority of PS members had a WC of half that or less. That's our fault, but the fact of the matter is that most of us didn't really care that much about this round. We merely wanted to war a bit at the end of the round. We hadn't planned for a 10+ day war because we frankly hadn't planned for much this round. But please don't tell us we have room for improvement. We're not idiots, and our lack of preparation was due to apathy rather than incompetence. And you really took offense to my declaration of war! It's a declaration of war friend, not a valentine's day card. What are you expecting? "Pork Shrimp declares war on the all-powerful Citadel. We know we will lose but eff it, it will be an honour for us to be incinerated by their nukes and crushed by their tanks" At least we posted a DoW instead of just hitting nations out of the blue. I would rather have a strongly worded DoW than no DoW at all. The war is over. Citadel was victorious. This thread needs to die.

We didn't underestimate you. You were just the AA that lined up the best with us and we were getting bored. We knew it would be a tough fight and it was clear that your warchests allowed you to get the upperhand in the second round of declares. Also the only reason we brought in an additional nation is because one of our nations went unexpectedly inactive and we needed someone to fill in his declare spots so the other nations were not left hanging out to dry. Anyways, well fought.

[quote name='kongland' timestamp='1329681823' post='2924149'] No, really Paul - all politics aside - wouldn't it be great for two alliances to sort it out without interference? The promised destruction has to be done by the alliance which promised it, not by fresh rogues. That's was the plan , wasn't it?

[quote name='kongland' timestamp='1329434469' post='2922089'] Can't you destroy Citadel without your little dirty tricks? [/quote] No

[quote name='StevieG' timestamp='1329372376' post='2921574'] Looks like this is a recognition of hostilities [/quote] Indeed. But semantics won't matter when the nukes begin to fly and the casualties begin to mount.

PorkShrimp will destroy Citadel. Effective immediately. Game on.

I believe you are the one who brought up despicable Shazz. Ha!

The explanation has remained the same and has not grown. We were not made aware that peace was declared until 3 am EST, neither CD nor myself were up before 9 am to send messages out to the troops to accept/declare peace. If you think it is a joke that we aren't willing to get up early on a weekend to check our TE nations then I don't know what to tell you. I am ashamed we are not up to the ultra-high standards you put on your leaders and AA. I am afraid I will never be a member of Duckroll/Anonymous

I was told peace was being discussed but asked for confirmation to be sent to myself or CellarDoor (PS leaders this round) once peace was officially declared. I was out all evening last night so asked for CD to be notified. I don't believe anyone ever told him or myself. They seemed to have just gone ahead and declared peace on our behalf without giving confirmation. Word should be out now.

[quote name='lazaraus45' timestamp='1327428419' post='2906213'] I was wondering if PS would retalliate to me pummeling their flag runner (yeah i saw that sneaky AA change ) Rule of thumb: choose flag runners who can win a fight when they have even stats on their single opponents as well as two other nations backing them up, might be why you haven't won in a while, but enough smack talk, until next round (or some other one after that), best of luck guys [/quote] I don't know who you're talking about. Looking at your war declarations, I don't see anyone who could be considered a flag runner and definitely nobody that has been associated with PS as far as I know. But thanks for the tips, if we are ever interested in trying for the flag we will be sure to put them to good use

Pretty new here so maybe these have been discussed before but a couple of other ideas would be: 1. Narrow the strength disparity window for declaring, or perhaps only be able to steal technology from nations that have 75% or more your nation strenght. For nations weaker than that you just destroy the tech. 2. Only be able to steal technology from Nations with more tech than you. In all other situations the tech is just destroyed. 3. Change the update time. The first two would dissuade raiders. The third would just make the game a bit more accessible for those that aren't willing to stay up until the middle of the night (in North America)
