Hmmm. Where did you get that image?

This is also how I was brought in. Diplo 7.7 fo lyfeeee
Someone needs to make a copy of diplo 7.7 for SC2 and bring the community back together. -
There's a reason GOLD wasn't being mentioned anywhere :P
I remember them; one of my first political conflicts was with them, VE [Egore] and a couple others due to the tech-scamming practices of Silent_01 via Oasis circa late 2006 ... Got me kick-started in the ways of CN gov and I never looked back ...
Hahaha. I started playing CN with silent_01 and silent_spitfire, we came here from StarCraft and joined BoSS back in the ancient days before it merged into GOLD. Those two were into scamming people and planning coups from the start, whereas I was more interested in helping my alliance. I guess those types of people didn't last long in this game which is why the early days were more exciting.

If TOP manages to prove that TIO actually declared on them, do they get a special prize or something? Because there must be something on the line for this much fuss to be made about a war.
Just stating the simple fact that we never declared war on TIO. -
Not so as they do not have to recognize war with everyone, hence they did not.
Oh, so that's how it works. In that case, "TOP doesn't recognize a state of war with TIO" means this war doesn't actually exist. -
So RnR and Fark are at war?
Gosh people make your minds up already.
Hey it only works that way when it benefits US! Gosh you are being so illogical! -
TOP hit all of US when they hit NATO, deal with it or take your ball and go home.
Actually we only hit NATO and the rest of US declared on us, which is how things work and no one is complaining about. I don't know why the rest of US is so against the concept of defending their blocmate and instead has to pretend they got attacked. -
Shout out to Vol Navy for winning every single underdog on me. <_<

I think I just remembered why I stopped coming here.

Here's to a good fight, TPF!

This new trend of dogpile wars is pathetic. I don't care who's winning or losing, the way wars are fought these days is downright embarrassing. What happened to you people while I was gone?
New trend?

I've had different odds levels before. It's usually 50% but when you have a large tech advantage or if they don't have full spies your odds go up.

I am not an alliance.
Although, to be fair, an entire alliance of Hereno would kick all kinds of ass, so I can understand your hope.
Anyway, enjoy!
An entire alliance of you would be unbearable.

lol, doing the whole oA with an oDP again eh? Still makes it hilarious bro.
Why you crying bro?

And before that he was in TOP and DBDC and pretty much still is de-facto member of DBDC.
Bones is getting 36 votes in the senate, if I had to guess TOP accounts for a high enough percentage of that vote.
It is misguided to blame Kaskus for it because it probably would have happened anyway.Uhhh what? This Bones guy has never been in TOP nor do we vote for him.

If you want to start a peace mode statistics thread that is unbiased then keep the stats of every single alliance in this war and avoid commentary about how we are hiding peace mode. It doesn't seem you were really interested in that though.
-
I didn't present an argument with my stats - I merely put them into context by giving a quick summary of the discussion that led to my interest. There's no need to be rude about it.
Besides, I would be a little bit impressed if nobody had cycled back into peace mode since the start of the war.
Don't be dense. How exactly are the peace mode statistics of an arbitrary selection of alliances relevant to anything other than you trying to insinuate that we are hiding in peace mode to avoid damage?
-
My statistics would have been as big and numbery as those but I'm way too lazy. I'll be sure to check in on that as time goes on.
His statistics are already proving that we are doing exactly as we said we are. Maybe you should find something else to harp on that isn't completely idiotic.
-
I'll say the same thing I said in the MHA thread:
What matters is our ability to output damage in a sustained war and I would say we do that quite well. Your peace mode statistics are irrelevant to me as I was never the one to call out someone for peace mode usage (unless of course they truly were hiding their nations in peace mode to avoid damage, which I haven't personally seen any evidence of yet this war.)
-
None of the problems you mentioned there are problems that other alliances do not have to deal with. Numbers don't lie.

Actually, it is possible to have very few nations in war mode but still have them all fighting at full throttle. TOP being good at war and TOP saving their nations in PM are not mutually exclusive positions.
That said, none of this has anything to do with MHA. I intend to, when I get a chance, analyze whether or not any cycling is being done and I'll post that in a new thread.
I'm going to be honest with you and I can give a shit if you believe me or not. Only reason I'm responding is because military is my forte and I take great pride in how TOP performs during a war.
There are a few reasons we send nations to peace mode:
1. They are going to be unavailable at the start of the war. Believe it or not 100% of our alliance is not always around and people do have obligations outside of this world. Doing this allows us to use them later for staggers and doesn't leave their nation as a tech farm for our enemies. If they are going to be away for an extended period of time we will try to get them sitters.
2. They are in the lower tier. It's no secret that our lower tier is not our strong point. We usually put most of our lower tier in peace mode to start a war because we don't have the resources there to defend everyone and they are usually not as prepared as the rest of our alliance. Of course we have some smaller nations with substantial warchests and experience who we let loose to wreak havoc, but the rest we will bring out once the war is fully underway and we've evaluated the situation. These nations are no good to anyone if after a round or two into the war they are already spent.
3. They are in anarchy and their wars have expired. This allows us to redeploy them where needed instead of letting them sit there and get hit by our enemy.
4. They are unprepared for war. This is something we never want to do because we pride ourselves on our war preparedness. Anyone in this situation has screwed up. Luckily there are only a couple who fall into this category... If need be we would send them out (such as in a losing war where we need all the help we can get).
What we don't do is order well prepared nations to peace mode in order to save them for after the war. We will always use the resources available to us to help win the current war we are fighting, we will worry about rebuilding and preparing for the next war after this one is over.

He's probably insinuating you plan on taking very little damage in order to give yourself better positioning for the next war.
And anyone with a brain can look at this chart and see that is not the case. But don't let facts get in the way of your spin...
-
First off all, I'm actually enjoying this war the most of any war I've been in. Everyone knows that. Even in-game it's been a blast as I actually have a good challenge now. I realize you are trying to paint another picture of me, but it's unbecoming of your alliance. Taking pot-shots only shows how egotistical and cocky TOP is.
The best part of this thread is that the TOP Propaganda Brigade is in here in full force because you want to make XX more favorable to your post war goal of rolling IRON. Any idiot can see that, and that does make me chuckle at how obvious you are.
I don't see how responding to you calling us out for peace mode usage has anything to do with rolling IRON after this war. You are delusional.
