  2. TPC Declaration of War

    in Tournament Edition Open World Forum

    Posted · Edited by ChessTyrant

    It looks like there is only 1 horse in this race. ^_^

    Yup, looks like TPC is winning on all fronts. 

     

    (OP is technically beating us on tech killed way down below, but I'm pretty sure we'll take that back before too long, and WD is winning on killed infra, but they're twice our size and only 10% ahead, so I still count that for TPC.)

     

     

    Edit: Admin, please fix it so all the alliance destruction awards are lined up neatly in one place. Tech is way down on this page and infra killed is on the second page. 

  4. Nuke the Nukes

    in Tournament Edition Suggestions

    Nukes are actually really important to the metagame and work fine how they are. I'd be happy to see nuke damage nerfed a bit, but it's important that the troop-clearing aspects remain intact. This is because nukes allow smaller nations to win GAs and air attacks against larger nations without needing to suicide three or four full deployments into their targets to get their odds down. They make it possible for the underdogs in a war to match their opponents blow-for-blow, as long as all the underdogs coordinate and make use of careful and intelligent tactics regarding nukes. 

  6. Defcon bug

    And now it's the 23rd and I can't change it back. There's no circumstances under which I should have to collect taxes to change my defcon anyway. 

     

    For the theorists: my religion hasn't been spied, so that can't be tied to it. 

  8. TPC Notice of Jury Nullification

    in Tournament Edition Open World Forum

    I think it would be worth clarifying that the peace deal TEPD offered to TPC was that StevieG would peace out his rogue. 

     

    This was only a "peace deal offered to TPC" because StevieG was in the TPC AA at the point when it was first offered. 

     

    It was not a peace deal that TPC had any ability to accept, because we have no control over StevieG's rogue. 

     

    Please do not assume we rejected a legitimate peace offer from TEPD and instead chose to fight a ~8v30 war. TPC has not been offered an independent peace agreement. 

  9. DUN *DUN* /DUN/

    in Tournament Edition Open World Forum

    Posted

    Here's how things appear to have gone down: StevieG is the instigator of the recent rogue attacks on TEPD. Yesterday, StevieG applied to TPC, and his application was not accepted by gov (and would have ultimately been denied). However, StevieG convinced one TPC player (Therm, who had in-game recruitment roles despite not being a member of the governing council) to accept his application without the governing council's knowledge or approval. 

     

    StevieG was removed from TPC before the update passed, and in the future we'll be less lazy about who ends up with the in-game alliance management controls. 

  12. A JOINT WAR DECLARATION

    in Tournament Edition Open World Forum

    Posted · Edited by Chess Tyrant

    Actually, all the alliances are doing the partial-involvement thing, they just haven't posted their memberlists yet. Probably because I was supposed to do that. One minute...

     

    Edit: for now, it looks like the current lists are everyone who blitzed plus In Rage and yards from OP, Apocalypse T from Hellas, and PRION, Revention, Tempestus Solar and Parkway Dr. from RE. 

  13. A JOINT WAR DECLARATION

    in Tournament Edition Open World Forum

    From TPC, the following players will be participating in the war:

     

    -Me
    -KJ
    -Dark Zone Elite
    -Admiral Piette
    -Cardinal Roark
    -Bibliotech
    -Rock n Rolla
    -CarlJohnson
    -Not Here
    -Commander582

     

    Attacks against these nations will only be replied to by these nations and participating allied nations. Attacks against noncombatant TPC nations will be open to any form of counterattack. 

  16. TPC DoW

    RE, OP, Catharsis and TPC have reached a peace agreement, effective midnight tonight. There will be no further attacks after today. 

     

    Well fought, everyone. 

     

    Edit: special shoutout to Ningkeptune of Custard for one of the most casualty-intensive wars in my experience; a total of 314.5K soldiers and 35.1K tanks were destroyed.

    Our mutual friends over in Citadel seem to be having  a problem with their NS, ANS and nuke counts growing so large nobody else could possibly compete with them. So in the spirit of good sportsmanship, we're going to burn a whole bunch of stuff to the ground. 

     

     

    Approximate prewar stats:

     

    Citadel: 105K infra, 11K ANS, 305 nukes

    TPC+RB: 102K infra, 10.5K ANS, 203 nukes

     

    (I apologize for the lack of detailed prewar stats; I was pretty busy.)

     

     

    I'd like to extend a personal thanks to Admiral Piette and Danger Mouse for their assistance in planning and coordinating this war, and to RB as a whole for an excellent and spirited blitz. 

  20. TPC DoW

    A peace agreement has been reached between TPC, WD and Misfits, effective at midnight tonight. No further attacks will be made between any members of these alliances after the update. 

     

    Peace has yet to be confirmed with Roman Empire, but TPC will not be launching any first-strike attacks against RE after the update; we will only retaliate against RE players that attack ours. 

  21. Radical Idea: Change the starting NS

    wars in the early game are actually higher stakes then later game wars to anyone with foresight. 

    Agreed. And I don't actually mind the fact that most of your potential military assets aren't on the table. Early wars just leave fewer tools available to us, and force us to choose between them more often. (Do I want more air, or more spies? Rebuy 200 infra to boost GAs, or finish with a stronger warchest? These decisions are a lot more important and more difficult in the early round.)
