New Desolate Order
blah blah blah this is not a one liner
Oh hey, I got my alliance name wrong. It's Nocturne Solaris. Whatever.
-
Why did Cult of Skaro just elect to commit metaphorical suicide?
-
With regards to the sold infra, it's a marginal thing that gives marginal returns.
With regards to TPC, you attacked Hellas 7 days out of their last war. The up-declare is acceptable and appreciable, but ambushing Hellas while they were in the middle of their rebuild process is a bit excessive.
I think a trend that will be seen this round is that you will reap what you sow. -
This is no longer a downdeclare since they threw OTK into the mix; but OTK is mostly a bunch of sub 1k nations that don't amount to anything militarily.
A shame, I was in talks with OTK to get a war going on Friday, but they couldn't make a decision before they got attacked. -
I doubt anyone is surprised by this treaty.
-
IIRC your initial wave of wars ended around the 8th, but then you guys launched limited wars / raids against each other. What gives? When is the end of your grace period and when are you again a valid attack target?
-
Looks like you're peacing out right now. End of war: 13th/14th.

Our peak was around 850 yesterday. We've since fallen to 802, and will probably reach 700 by month's end.

In an ideal world new alliances are a good thing because they constitute new tradition, new wills, and new attitudes to the game; new alliances tend to be more innovative than existing alliances and are less likely to be stagnant fecal hunks circling down the toilet.
In practice, however, new alliances frequently fail too quickly because they don't have the manpower or talent to make them work; when it takes 5 years for an alliance to go from micro to Pillowfort member (cf: Basketball Ninjas) it is simply too hard and too lacking in rewards for new players to put in the work towards making a new alliance and making it work.
===
The only successful new alliance recently has been Anarchy Inc.; and that's not a true new alliance; it's the merger of BAPS, Valhalla, and Olympus. Every other new alliance I've seen, between the time I was a tech buyer to now, has been slowly circling around the toilet bowl. -
We are currently unable to modify nation information in Tournament Edition. Information that is inputted into the custom field is currently discarded.
Is this intentional or does this somehow need rectification? -
Hey, I know Stewie and please don't confuse NG Stewie with StevieG.
Also, please consider that as far as my war charts tracking are going, Citadel apparently seems to be curbstomping Warriors, not the other way around, despite Warriors' attempt at throwing in a small alliance along for the ride.
It appears even with overwhelming NS superiority, numerical superiority, and even with an "ally" pitched in that apparently has either morale or command and control problems, Warriors cannot defeat Citadel.
The last I checked, Warriors had less total infra than Cit + Hades. -
Any comments from Rat Basterds? Anything?
-
War Doves: 140K NS, 5K ANS, 34.25K infra, one nuke.
ODN: 112K NS, 4.7K ANS, 28.75K infra, one nuke. (Approx 15/22 active players have GCs up.)
Edit: in case you're wondering, ODN has one nation at 1840 infra (hope you have a warchest for that, Piette!), three over 1400, eight more at 1300 or above, and an additional eight at 1K or over.
War Doves has three over 1700, four more at 1500+, six more at 1300+, and eight more at 1K+. They also already lost their nuke.
Ultimate ratio according to this post was:1.8605418548106981590830149357416 NS
1.8601577636313313036257957376142 infra
/me shrugs. This round is full of bullshit wars.
-
Divide 140k by 112k, and you get 1.25. You guys even admitted at the time you were attacking with a downdeclare, and if you're claiming "even" damage, by the end of the war ODN was around half your NS.
-
Very classy round so far.
OP gets rolled by TPC + CitadelWar Doves rolls ODN in a 30% downdeclare
Hades gets hit by Warriors as a "weak link" in their war on Citadel 5 days after Hades gets out of war.
Roman Empire declares on SUN without a DoW and then has extended "raids" days after the first round is over
Warriors DoWs on Citadel and Hades without a DoW
What other classy shenanigans should I expect this round? -
I think you should try to remember that we have a nuker pointed at you, and that he has been instructed not to fire nukes.
As far as giving up? We scheduled war for 7 days and you were informed of our intent to end this war by the 4th. If you would like a surrender to put a cherry on top of a failed up-declare, sure, you can have it.
All my men are in high spirits and they are both enjoying the war and the damage they're taking. It is only because I'm not interested in spending the rest of the round fighting you that we are ending this war in this way, so that we may rebuild. -
I'm surrendering on behalf of Winter Sonata to Vexillodge. In my view, damage has been mostly equal, but Vexillodge seems to want a surrender, we're past the 6 scheduled days of war, I'm not going to spend time arguing this down to a white peace, and this is the fastest way to end this.
Winter Sonata nations are being instructed to send out final attacks on the 3rd of April, and to send peace out immediately afterwards. All wars should be peaced out by the 4th. -
Hi! Winter Sonata here!
We've been getting a bit bored since the end of the SE war, so we're opting to declare on VEXILLODGE. I do have to admit we're getting the jump on you, but, TBH, your infra numbers are so cute and orderly, and our infra numbers are such a mess, we thought it might be interesting to declare war on you so that your infra numbers could be just as messed up as ours.
Astonishingly enough, out of all the alliances / alliance combos we went over yesterday, your alliance is almost a perfect tier for tier match. You have 3000 more infra than we do, but I'm sure the initial update blitz could quickly cure this problem, and we do worry about our warchests compared to yours, but I'm sure forcing a last collection in anarchy could equalize the issue.
Initial NS (WS / VEXILLODGE): 82202 / 91528 (89%)
Initial ANS (WS / VEXILLODGE): 4358 / 4326 (100.7%)
Initial Infra (WS / VEXILLODGE): 21166 / 24198 (87.5%)
Pre-War Tech (WS / VEXILLODGE): 1656 / 1879 (88%)
Alliance Numbers: (WS / VEXILLODGE): 18 / 21 (85%)
And TBH, we both have rather strange names. Vexillodge... we thought you were from VE for a while. By the time of the next war, Winter Sonata will refound as "Nocturne Solaris". -
I would like to see an extension of the sanction war, however, simply because it's fun, hilarious, and entertaining.
I did have a discussion with certain people, and they brought up something like introducing chemical weapons to the game.A sanction war is like a chemical weapon exchange, because even though it's theoretically lethal, it is something that can be quickly and efficiently negated through the use of good planning and coordination, although the effort of negation will likely be taxing and annoying on all sides.

Regarding Admin:
Thank you. -
This is going to create bug reports; since under some conditions one nation will repeatedly declare war against another nation for several months.
Wars have a random chance of blocking redeclares; and previous wars are deleted as part of a workaround.===
IMO, it's better to go with Samus or others' suggestions and include total war stats in daily archives. -
The modifiers don't matter because they scale with the changes in the infra buying system.
Icewolf, if you have different results it might be because you're using Riemann sums to derive a result instead of doing it by hand. There's discontinuities in the cost function which can make a mess out of trying to determine the difference by Riemann sums; consider the first 100 infrastructure being bought at 40 * level + 500 instead of 60 * level + 500 at an infra jump; that's a difference of almost 50%. -
Oh, just as a clarification Shahenshah, I'm retired and I haven't been an MK member for quite some time. I've been sitting on an AA as a neutral, although I have no protector and I'm not in peace mode. I speak for myself, not others.

I'd like to remind you that Mogar joined AI specifically for the purpose of engaging Mushroom Kingdom. It's not something that Equilibrium does not engage in, and it's relatively normative; in NoCB, which you call the War of the Coalition, quite a few nations joined Mushroom Kingdom in order to be curbstomped by NPO. Quite a few nations also joined Poison Clan during the early 2011 war in order to provide aid to a dog-piled alliance, and I believe Coursca joined NPO during the course of Karma to fight alongside his NPO friends.
As far as off-AA attacks go, however, you are qualified to regard these as rogues, and Mushroom Kingdom is qualified to regard these as their members. Attempts to sanction them would be considered an escalation of the current limited sanction exchange into a full-blown sanction war.
I would also like to remind you that Pacifica sanctioned Don Chele as part of negotiations regarding Big Z. So it's not as though your side does not acknowledge the validity of Mushroom Kingdom's current position.

It's also funny how 13 of your members are already in Anarchy.
Here is the announcement, buried at the end of the DoW.
