Damn good fight, guys. Major respect to VE - they fought like we expected them to fight, and were a blast in doing so.
As a show of goodwill, I'm going to waive the 50k that Finster owes me for that cruise missile. :)
Couldn't be prouder of my boys' effort in battle.

Would really like to have this addressed - I can't imagine the two instances I've referred to are the only ones that have occurred.

I've decided to use hip pop culture references to illustrate how I feel TOP decision making went down as to who went to war and who did not :|

Damnit Berbers you know you're not allowed to make good or amusing posts.

Polar has the Loch Ness monster
MI6 has poached the Loch Ness monster from Polar
I can see how that might play out :DHonestly it all depends on Nessie's tech level and IRC activity.
-
You're right, why MI6 puts up with us is beyond me :\
Hold on a bit mate where did we come into this?
-
Pretty much this. It is surprising that not more people got what I meant. The culture is the "Hey look at me!" culture. The belief that the more times their name comes up on ANY discussion, the more of a victory it is for the alliance and the more relevant they feel like they are. No, they are not MK. MK had personality, political power and charisma to back up their sometimes teenage-ish angst ridden edginess.
If you'd quit talking about us so damn much, old friend, our name might not come up so often in every discussion.
MI6's propensity for talkativeness and nonsense has been greatly diminished over the past few months, yet you insist on the same tired talking points.
Nobody in MI6 wants to be anything other than MI6. We are paying the price of our and our allies' lack of political foresight, and that's perfectly fine - it's how Bob works, after all.
-
The vast majority of people in this thread talking about MI6's damage stats haven't been MI6, until we were accused of doing something ludicrously dumb to pad those stats.
We're in here to defend ourselves against a false claim, not to beat our chest. We've still got a lot of fighting left to do before we'll worry about that.
-
I'm aware of one nation doing it once - and I promptly yelled at him for doing so, and it hasn't been done again. You can ask Dhruv, he'd admit to doing it one day maybe two weeks ago or so.
So you can add that 3k NS of infra to our opponents' damage total, if you'd like. Nobody else is doing it. We buy up to 1k infra to rebuy nukes when knocked below it, like anyone else. We cycle PM, like anyone else. We won't have 100% military participation in this war - hell, we're missing some of our bigs guys or really good ratios/notoriously good fighters from combat because using them doesn't make sense after their last major engagement.
We've got a couple bad eggs (Hello, Goose's -50k damage ratio!) and one particularly glaring inactive. Other than that, my guys came to fight. Proud of 'em, especially since we did *just* have another war.
Anyone accusing us of blowing an extra hundreds of millions of rebuilding money across our alliance as a whole to pad our damn war stats is either intentionally deceiving people in an attempt to discredit our war performance (and I'll admit, it doesn't fit with the the MI6 is Terrible and Chim is Evil plot line everyone wants to reference) or is an absolute fool.

So, I've seen quite a few people return from inactivity mode in bill lock or having to pay massive amounts of money to reactivate their nation after a year or more of bills have piled up.
Then today, I look on the inactivity mode page and see this:
- Bills will be adjusted to omit the days that your nation was inactive. (You won't be charged for the days that you are inactive)
So...is inactivity mode working properly? The implication from that line is that, say you're inactive for 365 days and hadn't paid bills for the 30 days previously, you still only owe those 30 days of bills. But the way it is working in practice is that you have to pay far more than that.
I've seen nations quite literally lose two billion from this, and my question is whether that line is incorrect, written poorly, or the feature isn't working as intended.
For instance, my friend Moufassa http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=509821 recently returned to CN. He has 107 days of bills to pay, but was inactive for nearly double that.
Can someone explain exactly how inactivity mode calculates bills?
-
But ... then I might get sucked in. lol
I can't promise it won't be a trap, but I can promise it'll be worth it. :D
-
I wish. 2011 was a blast.
Hop on IRC some time, old friend. I'm around.
-
Agreed. This would have been great before we all ate 12 counters, haha.
Now this policy is actively preventing Polar allies from providing assistance to us. Not only did they ignore us being hit, they are protecting allies hitting other MD level allies. I have to say, the timing of this looks very suspicious, and smells alot like a stab in the back. Feel free to explain yourselves but it's going to fall on deaf ears. I expected better out of you, Hal.
There is little doubt that this policy, designed to look and sound neutral, is in reality the direct opposite. One of Valhalla's allies in particular, only at war with other Valhalla allies (intentionally, no doubt, to keep Valhalla on the sidelines), now has no potential for any military support whatsoever.
It's just disappointing.
-
Give 'em hell, Fark. Good to see you guys in the fray.
-
All I can really say is that this policy would've been exceptionally handy at a previous date.
You do you, Valhalla. You do you.

I nominate hakai for all categories suggested, and all categories yet to be suggested.
Oh, what the hell. Hoo and Ardus in the same thread? Is this 2011?

Please don't encourage him, it's better for everyone.
Kersch will you stop being so damned reasonable everywhere? It's liable to make us seem less hateworthy.

It's nuclear beach weather, and I'm wearing some kick @#$@ swimming trunks.
...woo for Yawoo?
Honestly I just haven't gotten to say that enough.
It is a great pleasure to share two fronts of battle with these

I believe he imported them from North Korea :P
He has them on loan from Kevlar.

Charles! The nerve!

Can we just have one dedicated Mogar thread, instead of fifty that he just takes over? It might improve the experience for everyone.
-
These things happen in global wars, your declaration on IRON for example puts Valhalla in the exact same position.
Well, aside from the little problem with me being obligated by treaty to hit IRON, I'd agree with you - and I've expressed regret regarding this to Valhalla. Despite the prevailing opinions of Bob, I've never had ill intent towards IRON.
-
No one is surprised and no one will care considering this is pretty standard operating procedure for them (hitting anyone in the opposite coalitions upper tier.) I for one look forward to trading pixels with Umb again.
Besides that I'm just going to ignore Samus's post.
My concern is merely for the four mutual allies of ours who have now been placed in a most unfortunate predicament.

We'll be properly live tonight - our hope is to make this Pokemon playthrough a tongue-in-cheek weekly series sort of thing.
