Just like South Ossetia will someday take its rightful place as a part of Russia, so does Elysium join TPF. Congrats!
The Republic lives on in our hearts.

Vox my tiny piece of humble advice would be this: You can never beat an opponent using a term they invented and defined. You'll never win a battle over the definition and scope of "OOC attacks" with the people who created the concept of OOC attacks. You need to re-frame in argument in other terms that don't carry the assumptions and baggage of that one or you'll keep being frustrated and losing.

This thread would be lulz if it were not besmirching the grand name of Russia.

Sponge, the term for trolling a member of the alliance you're in is "doin' it wrong."

Ivan, Vladimir, Sir Paul, Moo, Dilber, and Zha...
That's 6, at least one retired...am I missing anybody?
I thought Corinan and Sir Paul were the only original August revolutionaries. Someone with more knowledge of NPO affairs can correct me.

Someone should write a CN novel. Follow the story of a young Pacifican boy growing up in the tough streets of Francograd. From his early job shinning shoes outside a theater on the old Doitzel arts district to his dream job at the PNN where he meets the love of his life, a young reporter who is related to Sir Paul himself. Of course this all comes crashing down when he is drafted into the military and he most choose between Pacifica and his love.

I think everyone has strayed a little here, my original point was not, need moar pixelz naio!1!! it was that when people do something unnecessaryand use the excuse "It's only a game" it bothers me. And the basketball analogy was just that, an analogy to show hard work put into something, and then a seemingly unreasonable destruction of that. Of course you would get sued if that happened, I'm not an idiot, it was simply an analogy, none of them are perfect.
I accept wars, losing infra and population, it's part of the game, it makes sense. I just don't like it when people decide that they're going to try and ruin the fun others are having, and using that excuse. Anyways, I didn't expect such a strong response to this, didn't really expect any responses
The problem with the analogy is that it's something outside of the game. If someone destroyed my computer in order to make me unable to play and said "It's just a game!" then yeah. But the proper analogy would be if someone kept blocking every single shot you took in basketball and said "It's just a game!". My answer would be to either practice more or find a game you're better at.
Actually CN could learn a lot from sports, I've had friends hit me pretty hard and hurt me during sports (and I've done the same to them) but we realize it's a game. I think it's kind of sad I can easily get over a bloody nose yet here people throw friendships away over infrastructure.

If MK pays this, they're seriously off of their rocker.
Don't they realize that they're just scheduled to be finished off later? They rather should stick to Peacemode, as the Peacemode penalties are nothing compared to losing almost half of their total technology plus then having to be dogpiled against and lacking said technology through their struggle.
I guess Archon should have done a Martens and left MK to die while he hid away under peace mode or a safe AA, right?
Stick to writing about how African culture is inferior to European culture or whatever your other hobbies are because CN leadership clearly isn't your strong point.

Respect from an admitted spy and known Lulzster can't really be worth that much, so as you say, whatever.

This is pretty obvious way to do nuclear war, but I wonder if it is really efficient. With advent of MPs it probably is much better then it was in the past, MP equiped nation with a good level warchest (WRC is a bonus), can pull this off quite efficiently, but without MP, 6 wars would make the nation lose infra much quicker then it's opponents (cca 250 infra from air, 150 from CMs, from ground as well if he rebuys troops, along with a regular nuke), which would in turn get the nation out of nuclear range very fast. This type of warfare will cause lot of damage, but will not win a war.
Winning/losing a war has nothing to do with how you fight it, I'd say never since GW2/3 has there been a war in which the outcome was not 100% set in stone after the DOWs got posted (you could argue this is only because one side was perceived to be much stronger than it was.) Point is if you're on the losing side of a war there's only two goals you can hope to achieve with your war tactics: 1) Improve your position to get peace 2) Maximize damage to your opponent.
I don't think it is really effective. First strike policy may strike fear in the hearts of the weak, but real alliances, those that can take down alliance of MK's size won't be scared by such policies, only more infuriated if they have to fight against it. TOP does not have an official nuclear strike policy, and we make it on case to case basis. We feel that is the best way.By that logic no method of warfare is worth using. Nothing MK (or anyone) can do within this game can strike fear into a coalition such as the one that stands against them and only serves to infuriate them. Nukes just happen to be the most powerful of the limited and ultimately pointless tools this game gives people to defend themselves against unbeatable odds.

But Hyperion already got you guys peace trough their selfless sacrifice of surrendering first!
-
If you follow this sort of logic in which alliances with no chance of defeat seek to maximize the effectiveness of their war effort and minimize damage, you'd think the ideal war policy would be to give target nations two options:
-Be in war mode, continue to buy troops until told otherwise and don't fight back in any way or,
-Face perma-ZI.
-
Basically, anything I do in CN is totally separate from my real, OOC self. My best friend could deceive me in order to get me perma-ZIed and it would affect my feelings about him as much as the last time he tricked me in order to kick my $@! at Smash Brothers Brawl. Given all the drama and all the broken friendships I see I think it's a shame more people don't play this way, actually separating the game from real life.
Seriously, it's a lot more enjoyable and fun that way.
-
Idealism in decay.

Seriously? Some people need to grow up. If you haven't understood the fact that none of our allies would talk their own peace till we got peace then my breath is being wasted on you.
I keep seeing this line that Hyperion only did this to help their allies secure peace. That's actually honorable if true. But what if, as many expects, the major alliances fighting for you do not get terms (Or are given \m/-like terms, meant to be rejected)? Would Hyperion go back to fighting since the purpose of their surrender would be void?
-
While I admire showing respect to your enemies, I think you should extend that respect to the folks fighting for you. How would you feel if you were eating daily nukes and the person you're eating those nukes for was having a nice little thread like this with the enemies he already got peace for?
-
I am always amazed that in a game in which people spend peace time complaining to no end (and I do mean to no end) about how boring peace is and how the only enjoyable times of the game are wars we see that whenever war breaks out the first thing people concern themselves with is getting back to the peace they've spent the last few months complaining about.
IC: Congrats on peace, Hyperion. But what about those who fought for you though? If their enemies decide not to extend to them the mercy they showed you will you be happy rebuilding as they burn?

Let me guess, Ephie used teeth.

What is this I don't
-
Seize the surrender?
-
Make it rain.
Also global warming.

I wonder if DoWs will become outdated just like in real life and we'll start seeing alliances "use military force", "engage in police actions" and "send troops to restore stability" and without declaring war.

Except white power. Weiss and his buddies have not just TPF but all of CN beat on that.
