An action that the leader engaged in without consulting anyone in Atlas or anything. I didn't even realise what he was doing before it blew up on the forums. Good times. :P

Best war flag I've ever seen. Good luck all!

What he means by coalitions is groups of alliances that will stand together no matter what, and work as one unit. If the little alliances want to take on some big guns, they'll often team up with another smaller alliance to do so, but it won't be an official thing, and will likely exist only for the duration of the war. On the flip side, the larger alliances will for the most part leave the smaller ones alone when seeking out war targets, unless they need them to pad out numbers in a war against a weaker, but still large, alliance. Also, on the matter of raiding, some alliances (like mine, the Dark Order) like to keep raiding to a minimal or even remove it completely. Others will, as has been said, be willing to listen to a genuine request to be put onto a no-raiding list. Of course, there are some who will not follow this, but that is to be expected within any system. For the most part, it's a system that works well enough.

I will judge an alliance based on its current actions, not its ability to endure in TE. Nobody outside Eurasia is questioning that NDO needed to be stood up for. They had just come out of war, and were understandably shocked that their grace period had been broken by an alliance much larger than them. An alliance needed to step in, to show Eurasia that this is not how things are done here. D1 did so, and I won't make any complaints, but I will note one thing. This was already a downdeclare. Regardless of whether or not NDO are in this, the majority of Eurasia's nations are new and unable to join the fight. So D1 had it covered with a downdeclare. There was no need for another alliance to step in. Cowboy, you can keep trumpeting on about your false moralism if you please, but RE have no such ability here. They are scavengers and cowards, nothing more. I'm quickly seeing that they are unwilling to engage a target unless the odds are phenomenally in their favour. So no. I shall not respect them for this deplorable move. On the NDO front, go NDO! On the RE front, go Eurasia! Tear them up.

Classless, RE. My opinion of you goes up and up. Are you capable of acting without D1?

If these guys are as good an ally as they were a protectorate, we'll be more than pleased. :D

Two massive downdeclares, and we're not even halfway into this round. What is happening here?

I think this is the first offensive war I've seen NDO declare in my time here. I'm excited to see the results! Good luck all round :)

Cowboy, if you feel like you need to keep us at war with those stat differences, that says a whole lot more about you than it does about me.

Today I learned that "This will be discussed with the other leaders" means "turning down peace"

Kick Napoleon out of your alliance, and maybe then you can claim you're not doing dirty ops. Maybe, but probably not. Please stop lying.

Good to know you're crippling yourselves ;)

I'll shorten it for you. You have the advantage in every way, and have since day 1. Why do you think we are "whining"?

Get a load of this guy, bragging about winning in a war that's designed to cripple. Also, you think we don't temp? Cute.

That's not what I'm saying. If you want to declare on a beginner alliance, do so in a way that is fair. Not a curb stomp. Who would want to keep playing a game where their first experience is an unfair beatdown?

Don't get me wrong. We will fight this attempted curb-stomp to the bitter end, and I am personally enjoying my wars. But in big picture terms, this war is a god damn joke, and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

It doesn't matter how much money we started with; basic courtesy should still apply. You attacked a non-nuclear alliance (who you've proceeded to nuke, to the last nation), an alliance devoted to training beginners (the main issue I have here), and a third, small alliance with few veterans. And as if this experience advantage wasn't enough, you felt the need to add a major statistical advantage too. Your bravery knows no bounds.

2. Point me to a TDO nation that is using dirty spy ops, please. 3. Really? Really? We had one advantage in that war - our nukes. Everything else was nice and even. In that, you have literally every advantage, including nukes. And our nuclear advantage was used sparingly, only on nations that we were having trouble breaking past. On the other hand, D1/RE have utilised their advantage to its maximum potential, nuking 16 TDO nations on the first day. That's basically all of us. 4. I assume he means giving alliances ten days at the start of a round to sort themselves out.

We are all separate alliances. But thanks for your opinion; you know how much we value it.

Last round, TDO was condemned for declaring a war against D1 and WD, in which we had a strong nuclear advantage. But you know what we did, to counteract that? We made sure we were vastly outnumbered. Yet here you are, declaring a war in which you have a considerable statistical advantage in every field, and you're trying to claim it is an even fight. This wouldn't be a fair fight, even if your opponents were all seasoned players. But instead, you go and declare on one alliance (FF) where most members built in an amateur fashion, and another (KrAbZ) who refer to themselves as being for people with little to no CN experience. How about you stop lying? This is an assassination of TDO, with you trying to pad out the numbers in an awful fashion. I have no doubt that TDO will be able to stand up to this onslaught. We're proud fighters, and money is the sinews of war. But declaring on a training alliance this badly is pathetic. You're looking for the easy fight, like true cowards. Call us butthurt all you like, Cowboy, but you've lost your last friends in TDO.

So stats only matter when TDO or TA makes a down declare? Got it. This is beyond ridiculous.

Also, props to you for massively down-declaring on an alliance dedicated to the nurturing and teaching of beginner nations. That's definitely a way to get people interested in playing our dying game. Top notch work.

Nuke destruction is fine. It's ones like Blacklight described that are frowned upon.

It wasn't even just you. He did that to all three of his opponents. I've declared war on that wretched player. He'll see what happens to players who use despicable tactics against us. Mercy is not something he'll find.

Well, vvv317 has you to blame for the blockade that is now on his nation :P
