    It's more interesting to me that even with the tremendous losses the Hopeless Coalition has endured, they still total only 3 million less NS than Doomhouse/Allies combined. I can only imagine how crazy this war would be if it were actually being fought. It would be glorious.

    As much as I would like to think that, the total NS of DoomHouse and friends is somewhere around 56 million. I don't feel like adding up all the various alliances myself right now, but it is on the wiki if anyone is interested.

    This is the sort of constructive post I'm looking for.

    Okay that given, I'm of the opinion that Doomhouse is not threatened by a year long trench war. Our allies' income exceeds their expenses, we're growing at an absurd rate, and at this rate, NPO and friends will become essentially a permanent tech-raid. Obviously, my opinion is a little biased by my successes since the creation of my nation, and I don't have any inside info whatsoever what our allies income actually is to say for sure whether or not we can be sustained indefinitely in such a manner as I claim. I believe, however, that what we're going to see as this conflict progresses is a plateau in the losses that we are taking, which is already possibly starting to occur, and a shift of our resource pooling and slot efficiency to mutual exchange. Once we no longer need full aid bombs to maintain our wars, slots are freed up for tech exchanges, further decreasing ally outgoing losses and easing morale by supplementing their aid with a tangible reward as we're able to start sending tech in exchange.

    That's a pretty huge best case scenario though.

    Yes, we'll eventually run out of money to keep your lower tier in wars and out of tech deals. It won't be a permatech raid though, because you won't be able to keep us at war in game with the number of small nations you have available. NPO and friends weren't able to do it and they had a lot more nations than FAN did. People who get trapped out of peacemode will be picked clean after a few rounds anyway. Personally, if I got caught out of peacemode with no money, I would send all my tech away to my friends already there. Other than that, I don't see anything to disagree with. Once the fighting wraps up, the political game will heat up.

    The stat damage has pretty much plateaued already, except for NoR and us. They're probably moving nations around different AA's though.

    I do not see what about the terms offered to the Order are extortion. As far as I know, there weren't any reparations figures asked of them. You might want to rethink your word choice when trying to make your points.

    Let me be real for a post. As far as the ~terms~ go:

    We were offered "white peace" after 1 month of war, some of our allies were not. Besides them being our friends, it would make our strategic position weaker if they had to face an extended period of fighting by themselves. Normally I wouldn't really care about our deterrence ability because attacks out of the blue are a rare occurrence.

    Two months ago my opinion changed. Due to the vague nature of Archon's ~CB~, an attack could take place, by DoomHouse reasoning, the instant we are thought to be a threat. I can't take credit for this line of one of our alliances members, but I get the feeling that DoomHouse's leadership views "Pacifica as a shurb that needs to be periodically trimmed back." A long extended conflict is probably our best bet for deterring future aggression on us and our allies. If you know you're going to get a year long war of occupation every time you declare war, you'll at least show a little pause.

    I also suspect after the one month of war specified in the terms, we would also have to make one of those "we admit defeat" statements. We would then get another drawn out thread about how making a "we admit defeat" statement is/is not "white peace." As much as we all love those circular argument threads, I think I'll pass.

    All of this is of course only my own opinion on the situation.

    You're picking way too many upsets. Oakland over Texas...cmon man. And as much of a CUSA homer I am, UAB doesn't have a chance against WVU even if they get past Clemson.

    GTFO with Michigan State. They're the ones who shouldn't be in at all, not UAB. The Big10 is a disgrace.

    Tennessee as a 9 seed is ridiculous as well. I'm still going to pick them to beat up Michigan bad, but they should be around a 13 seed or worse.

    I literally can't think of a single purpose for the existence of this. If you're going to keep saying this like you have in other threads, at least use it to lead into a point. It would be so much better than this passive aggressive stance people seem to find so popular now for some reason.

    Sir, I have already stated that I was mistaken about this blog. I don't feel I need to make a point.

    If you still feel we should discuss the relevance of the NPO or of that particular statement of mine, perhaps you should start a new blog or thread.
