X = (2B+3)/(3R) Now where's my cookie?

x10hosting is a good free host, definitely. One thing worth noting about it though is that you have to request the mid-level php support in order to install IPB or phpBB.

Given your attitude in your attempted application to TORN, I wish you good luck. I suspect you will be needing a vast amount.

Reputation seems to suggest otherwise.

There is an automatic expulsion from the alliance in the case of a 'Nuke Rogue'. Rule 2-A 'rogue' is defined as anyone who has not applied properly to the alliance, someone who tech raids past the warning system, sends private information to an outside source, tries to recruit from within the alliance or another alliance at any time.

It displays Fellowship of Elite Allied Republics twice in the new listing. I just refreshed the page, and it still puts FEAR as two spots.

I find myself in agreement.

Nueva Vida (blue team) has their IRC on Coldfront now, rather than esper as indicated.

Stuff happens. Would it help to consider it a test of your alliance's logistics systems?

It's only realistic if you believe everything you see in the movies (remember, folks, people who watch those movies like drama llamas as much as we do).

Please tell me you're not a ranking military officer, or else I'm going to become greatly concerned about the military capacities of your alliance.

QFT. Some people try to do that, and it's one of those things that generally does not end well.

Was that quote you pulled in the OP from the Game Update Log, Slayer99? I ask because it's not there atm.

Katsumi wins the thread. There's no RL basis for the notion that a government can't up its DEFCON more than once every day, and all this is liable to do is give headaches for the next big war. Admin is quickly becoming the Bilrow of the war system. Stealing all the win out of it.

1. It's been proven before that GRL does not deter people from dropping nukes. It usually winds up at its cap most the time, anyways. 2. My opinion on the tech change is that, although there is logical argument for lowering it, I think cutting into a quarter of what it did was a tad overkill. 3. i like the update to CMs and nukes. It makes CMs more worth buying than they were before.

Obligatory statement of

I'm really not sure what my reaction to this thread should be. It does seem interesting that he waited to create this thread until after I clarified that FEAR didn't give large free handouts for new recruits, but based our aid distribution based on the level of commitment recruits showed in the thread he made in the OWF. Some people just don't want to take basic steps, I guess.

Just 2. I find it actually a tad difficult being a red team nation outside of NPO to get decent in-color trades.
