Oh now that I think about it I think i know what Tiberius means by tactics. By driving CNs nation count down to less than 3000, its possible to perma-stagger nations below 1000 NS because of the +/- 250 rule. 👌

Who are you lol? I post where I please.

Reminder that I was target listed because I trolled deathadder and only had 30 mill or so left anyway, so decided to go out in a blaze of glory instead of sitting in PM forever. I think you're overstating "tactics" dealing with my case.

Term has been getting destroyed by these memes lol thats why he keeps changing AA name.

ISX made Polar nations surrender despite being significantly outnumbered. Can NG do the same?

You probably don't want to know what goes in the glaze then.

I am an excellent judge of character, odd how nobody believed me two years ago.

Don't let him weasel out of this one after all of his past bravado. Keep up the good work!

Alot of rappers were tough guy tryhards who snitched for a deal to stay out of jail, same dynamic here with term. No doubt Grub told him he needed to share NG's internal comms for witness protection, and the plan was to eventually fall off the radar and slip into peacemode to rejoin NoR or NpO.

Quite notable he isn't being attacked by the majority of Oculus, including NPO and Polar.

Mechanics need an overhaul, TBH would be better off making cybernations 2.0 on a mobile app minus most of the new wonders and improvements.

I dont need to host radio shows to have an active discord

Wouldn't surprise me if Term turned snitch and gave Oculus logs to get out of the war.

Your discord is dead because you are a terrible mod.

Lol good thread

CN was at it's best when we were fighting crusades for causes greater than ourselves. The human spirit seeks deeper meaning than raw calculations and formula, alot of people hated that but I think people are realizing that's what is missing from this world today.

The only blame I've cast is on the mechanics. What I did say is that the high castle isn't made of gold. As someone who spends hours many nights fighting clan battles to be top ranked, cultivating top tier CN nations is monotonous at best, and certainly not a position to sneer at other people from.

The warmongerers and empire-builders have moved on to fight wars in other realms, for better or worse. I'd argue for the worse, since due to that and the mechanics there are no more chances for the old hegemonic revolutions that gave our efforts purpose and drove our ambitions to be king.

What competition remains is no longer about coalition wars and politics, it's about managing the affairs of established nations. It's certainly success on your part, but it's not the empire-building that once defined CN.

I'm not really blaming NPO or anyone else for being intelligent. The fault is with the core mechanics that need a major overhaul if the competitive nature of this world were to return. Even then, I think most top tier nations have grown comfortable and lazy. So Its not so much slamming NPO as it is slamming the arrogance of some who think their position merits great respect.

Having a monopoly on the use of force means you don't have to use it. Vladimir used to write about the circulation of the elite in the form of regular global wars, these dont happen anymore because the pond has stagnated. The competitive nature of CN is finished, save at the lower tiers where some still fight over the scraps.

That's because political arguments have zero impact on the outcome of anything, unlike the CN of yesteryear. I'm just pointing out why your "accomplishments" are meaningless to any competitive [ooc]gamer[/ooc].

The current meta is land and tech boosting nuclear firepower. Controlling a large reserve of both allows you to nuke opponents out of the super tier with one or two rounds of war. It's not a competitive clan scene anymore which is why I refer to god-mode mechanics, and it was the heart of my argument about ruling from a castle of dubious value.

That's not a counterargument to anything I said.

It doesn't matter whether it was legit or not, inflating any resource makes it have less tangible value in a market sense. What happens if a handful of individuals have godmode in a [ooc]first person shooter?[/ooc] Other competitive people don't bother and go somewhere else. When land mechanics came into full effect with clans like Umbrella and DBDC originally, high tier warfare inevitably became less competitive and NPO accelerated this decline by land farming. So if ruling a noncompetitive clan world due to god-mode mechanics makes you feel good, congrats. But few people respect your gains or fear the results of speaking against you anymore. The only respect you have is from a relative handful of people who want to maintain their meager holdings.
