- The war wouldn't exist without TW attacking LSF/SWF. Why should the aggressor get to peace out at the time most convenient to him?
- You're a ghost on behalf of TW. Four hours ago, you said "I'm on the AA but I'm not a member." UCR's main two proxy fighters are from a non-ally in FTW.
- You've spent the last three months crowing about how easy the war is. The idea that you've just been dying for peace is silly.
- UCR is a literal victim of an attack by MONGOLS. Their allies defended them from that attack. The only one "pretending to be the victim" is MONGOLS, who had to invoke a defense treaty against an alliance that they attacked and that has launched zero wars on them.
ohhhh I like bullet points. (And spreadsheets, but that's another conversation.)
- Four months into a war being outnumbered 2-to-1 is the most convenient time? Sounds like you admitting we fully defeated the Red Alert bloc. I think it was a reasonable time to discuss terms. The cause of the war can be debated - there's obviously history here that began when UCR caused two conflicts in a row with TW.
- I joined as a ghost after multiple ghosts had joined the Commie AA. It was a clear escalation on their part that was matched on TW's part.
- I never claimed to be 'dying for peace', but we're now 4 months in making this in probably the top 10% of the longest wars in CN history. It's become clear from UCR's statements that they never intend to consider peace, and further, their allies (your allies) have clearly been pushing to escalate the conflict rather than resolve it.
- Boohoo. Perhaps UCR shouldn't have hit a much smaller alliance and stated it would be a permanent war with the implicit support of alliances like DT. People who like TW might have issues with that and take potshots at them. Again - it was your allies who sought to make a mountain out of a mole hill. From a simple raid to a declared permanent war with constant attempts at escalation.

You know what my favorite part of this is, Sarkin? The sheer number of screenshots I have been given over the past couple of days about how none of my allies should trust me. How NG is soooooooooooo terrible. How we are going to drag our allies into a global. So many conversations you have had, all about little me and my little alliance.
Keep working those back channels
As if it isn't DT's allies pushing as hard as they possibly can for a global.

Y'all are just bullies, plain and simple.
Please.
UCR and her allies have been playing games for months attempting to escalate the war.
From sending ghosts to harboring members at war with TW to PGS declaring war on TW members, and now trying to maneuver an attack on Mongols into an advantageous starting position for a larger war.
If your allies acted in good faith, this war would be over right now. But it's not, and now the Commies get flushed. After this war, everybody will rebuild but them. But they don't really matter all that much, do they? Just a means to an end to allow you to provoke a large-scale conflict while pretending to be the victim.

It's been a fun war so far. I've enjoyed my interactions with most of the commies I've talked to (shoutout @armpit for being a constant thorn in my side, and Red Rebel for a bunch of pleasant battles.)
Then, they went a little too far and threatened permanent war.
After several months of warfare, after it was clear we have defeated the Communists in battle, Bundy made the commies a fair offer. Something in it for us, something in it for them. It's disappointing that they and their allies seem to want to escalate the conflict instead of working towards a resolution. It's even more disappointing that our ally, CLAWS, is in turn supporting the very alliances who seem to want an escalation of this conflict the most.
I suppose they've gotten their wish.
Welcome to the fray, NG!

Couldn't handle a fight with just a handful more nations on your side, eh?

I think Rub is suspecting you'll need to rebrand again after this war.

too long didnt read.
Declarations of wars are suppose to be threatening. Please let me know when a real threat actually shows up instead of 1 nation.
You may not like it, but this is what 'maximum efficiency and effectiveness' looks like.

If Bundy needed reinforcements he would have ask NG to just hit you... Mongols raiding separately... I have no ties to them but definitely see why they did.... no consequences Hahaha
Seems GPA can put up a better fight.

Commies are like ODN - incapable of fighting even a near-peer adversary.
They require 2- or 3-to-1 odds in order to fight.

you need to keep your narrative logical kitten, else no one will believe you!
Unfortunately, comrade, you have no re-education centers to throw us in for daring to speak the truth.
We can all add up the number of nations on both sides. Takes only a few minutes to see that I'm right and you're wrong.
The commies have never once been at a numerical disadvantage. They've always had more nations.

Cool story bro.
Last I checked even if you add the Mongols to our side you still have a numbers advantage. What's with all the complaining?

It depends on the objectives one has set for oneself, for example it works wonderfully when the primary aim is to deny all opponents any gain or enjoyment.
Doesn't work at all. I'll send DAs and chip away at tech & cash all day long. The nukes they're occasionally sending help the casualty count, too.

FL can you share those delightful fun facts you share with the wolves earlier..... hearing them again about their best fighters just brings makes me laugh... but we must remember they are still winning??? hahahaha
Oh yeah, I almost forgot.
Armpit and Wobblies have not declared a single war in two months! Wobblies hasn't done anything since June!
One of my favorite fun facts of this war!

If Bundy is winning so hard why did he have to bring in Mongol reinforcements?
You know this can all end for you guys when you are ready. We are reasonable people and Al is a benevolent leader, but you attacked us and threatened perma-war so you're going to have to come talk to us if you'd like to end the conflict.

You're loving it. This is good, we continue.
I was assigned to your nation today. And I was surprised to see what you mean by "this is good, we continue." You sitting there, turtling, with no troops.
Then again, the guy who got you all into this mess (Marx) is doing the same thing. So I guess I shouldn't have expected any differently.
Frankly, most of your best guys are hiding or turtling. An outsider would never guess that the commies have retained the numbers advantage in every facet for the entire duration of the war.

let us not forget this all started due to Wolves invading a small, peaceful, three member alliance, minding out own business, selling quality tech and nice vodka to discerning buyers. Then Wolves gets all upset when an alliance of friends helps out a bit.
edit: it also seems the LSF, according to to those nice stats above, is the best performing alliance in this war?
I don't think anybody is particularly upset at being given the opportunity to embarrass the Commies again.
This war should've been over some time ago. UCR had a massive advantage, and that's before they called in a bunch of help. Like literally imagine holding a 10-1 tech advantage and still getting your ass kicked.

I like how the feelz of the chat has gone to Wolves will rebuild quickly, three day operation not going that well then?
I’m pretty sure the feels of the chat are at “holy !@#$ how are the Commies losing this war even after calling in all this help?”The irony of the larger, underperforming party talking about three day operations is not lost on me, though. Cope harder.

Can rebuild pretty fast on full aid slots compared to the commies not having her yelling at you for being 20 minute late on aid slot usage..
He can't understand the concept.
The commies will sit around doing virtually nothing post-war. A few might become permanent tech slaves to PGSG or GATO. The rest will make no meaningful improvements until the next time Marx starts a war.
TW will quickly rebuild.
To be honest, the Commies' days of existence are numbered. They're rotting from the inside.

TW has +34 offensive wars but their opponents combined "only" +30 defensive wars, what am I missing?
Thank you.
The 4 raids we conducted on GPA.
...made you look!

I'm pretty sure UCR is going to recover faster from this than the broke wolves, the only nations with a warchest worth the name are you and those from NG and none of you are going to be wasting slots on them when this is over. They're an embarrassment.I 100% guarantee you TW will recover faster than UCR.
I don't know why you'd consider TW an embarrassment. UCR entered this war with something like a 10-1 tech advantage, a 2.5-1 members advantage, and tons of aid from RFI. And you're losing.

Amazing. Mechanics dictates that the side with the least nations inflicts the most damage - a nation can nuke all of their opponents but only be nuked once. What have the puppies being playing at? Shambles of an alliance. Should have them out of cash by Christmas though. Only another 126 days of sodom to go.
That assumes the bigger side is declaring multiple wars on each opponent. As you can see from the stats, that is not the case.
Your side has every advantage in the world and you're still losing.
There is no 'running out of cash' in modern CN. An alliance like TW can literally fight forever. And when the war's over, we'll rebuild quickly. Your nations, however, are losing years of growth they cannot recover from.
UCR came in with a 3-1 advantage and got their ass kicked. Cope harder.

Can confirm. Al made that quite clear to me when I considered joining up.
Throughout this entire thing, he's only sought to respond to UCR's escalations. He was perfectly happy maintaining a 2.5-commies to 1-wolf ratio, and I watched him turn down multiple offers to level the playing field even just a little bit more.
But it's clear at this point what UCR's allies want. And now they're getting it.
