[quote]I invite all and sundry to check Cowboy's wars and the distinct NS advantage he had at the commencement over each of the three victims he attacked.[/quote] My NS was 7,764. My two targets were 7,247 and 6,568. [quote] Where was your expressment of personal displeasure during Woodstock - and the massive cry of down declare? (In SE) Huh? Yeah I was there - you made no grand statements or barely a wimper. [/quote] I have exactly ZERO clue what you are talking about. Care to explain?

[quote] Thomas was criticizing us for waiting for someone to hit us [/quote] I was not, Clash. I was simply trying to understand why you did not act upon an Act of War perpetrated against tW by RE. I was however expressing my personal displeasure with negotiated wars starting to change the nature of TE. And on a side note, to all of those that say OP always takes the easy route. Y'all must have forgotten this, maybe one of the biggest updeclare in a LONG time.... [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=114041"]http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=114041[/url] And that was after OP had fought back a nuke-armed rogue AA that attacked on day 4-5 of the round. And after being coupled with Hellas (who was already in an active war) and attacked by a much bigger RE. Oh well, memories are selectively short at times. Carry on.

[quote name='TigerBaby' timestamp='1357627513' post='3072717'] I'm not surprised. I said from the beginning your drivel was infantile at best and it still is so I will attaempt to get it down to your level and remind you that I will continue highlighting your farce as long as you give me the chance. In Homer Simpson terms for your benefit it means that wen an alliance is just out of war while another sits doing nothing but builsing and collecting unhindred for 3 weeks and has a vastly superior NS in every way that's as spinless as it gets. Then when the joke brigade try to deny the reality it descends to the ludicrous. I will use my example again which is in fact mirrored across my aliance, an alliance just out of war to your ZERO wars and in fact STILL zero wars . Three nations ALL with double my infra attacking me and actually nuking me too as if the infra advantage which was already overwhelming wasn't enough even though I never at any stage had nukes IS VASTLY superior. Do you get the drift now or will we go through it all over again because i'm happy to continue illustrating your pretence of war while expecting to sit around for effectively well over a month not warring at all. Informing them that anyone with vastly superior strength taking a slap at you at a moment when you actually ddi have a real war if that ever happens will be fair game becuase that's the standard you deem acceptable. Now get on with explaining to Clash how anything I have said is false because I can see he doesn't believe it either. Does it get through the fog you'e making an ass of yourself with this guff when absolutely no one take it in? [/quote] Try spell check next time.

[quote name='TigerBaby' timestamp='1357626194' post='3072706'] You put the frankly witless joke book away, you have produced nothing but a cartoon Homer Simpson level of logic throughout and explain to the man how attacking an alliance just out of war to your ZERO wars makes you anything but a spinless farce trying to pretend to be in one. Explain to him how my own example which is mirrored across my alliancde of three nations ALL with double my infra and who STILL have to nuke a nation that has a fraction their infra isn't vastly superior. Then go look up a dictionary and discover what all that means but first explain your even war idea to Clash because he thinks you're a joke just like I do. [/quote] Say What?

Tiger, put the dictionary and thesaurus away. It is starting to get a little sad. But first, look up the meaning of "vastly". You use the word often but obviously don't fully understand its meaning.

Clash, I love ya, but cut out the drama. I was just wondering why, after stating you DESIRED to be attacked, were attacked in a spy op, decided to work out a deal for a war as opposed to defending tW. That's all. I am sure that you and RE will have a "fun war". Even though I still see a big difference between a prearranged war and a "war". I just can't get "American Pie" out of my head. Tiger. I have already pointed out that your claim of a [b]vastly[/b] unequal war is just flat out false. But you have the total right to find any and every thread in which to post that false claim. Best wishes in your endeavors. That will give you a good laugh i'm sure.

Clash and WC, Hello! Both of you keep claiming that you were dying to get attacked. So much so that you intentionally did not take the effort to get involved in an offensive war because you wanted to be attacked. But Clash, you intentionally started a thread talking about the spy attack, an act of war, against tW by RE. Instead of responding to that Act of War with a response, you negotiated with the attacker. Two questions, why the thread and why no response to the Act of War, other than negotiating with the AA that attacked tW?

Remember the old song, "American Pie"? This war will be the "day TE dies".

Tiger, your repeated claims that there is a huge disparity in the comparative statistics is a fallacy. Please take a look at the real statistics I posted this morning. Thanks!

For the record, here are the pre-blitz numbers taken from the in-game data download. OP: NS - 254,281 Count - 32 ANS - 7,946 Nukes - 55 10k+ - 5 7k to 10k - 17 4k to 7k - 10 4k to 2k - 0 under 2k - 0 SUN/Cit: NS - 282,511 Count - 50 ANS - 5,650 Nukes - 33 10k+ - 4 7k to 10k - 14 4k to 7k - 19 4k to 2k - 2 under 2k - 11 If you were to remove the 11 low end nations that are out of range of OP, here are the numbers: SUN/Cit NS - 268,936 Count - 39 ANS - 6,896 Nukes - 33 That is all. Carry on.

[quote name='lord6dread' timestamp='1357256632' post='3071036'] Now, here's a scenario: what if if it is down 26 days after the round started? Will those peeps who were gonna collect on day 20 get deleted? [/quote] Admin could do anything he wants. He could set the game as if we were still back on the day it went into maintenance as if nothing ever happened. Or he could let the clock run and we return to the game with our nations x days older but everything else the same.

[quote name='Clash' timestamp='1357162436' post='3070542'] Sometimes stuff breaks, it happens. Anyone who has ever had their own website knows this. Yeah, I know it sucks, but relax people. Sniveling at Admin dosn't help TE at all. It probably hurts. [/quote] Agreed! Maybe Admin is implementing some past suggestions. I also agree that this could be the end of TE. I don't recall a mid-round take down, ever. And while I am in an agreeing mode, I agree that there are ways that Admin could improve and generate more interest in TE by implementing some past suggestions. It's his call and let's all hope he makes a favorable decision.

[quote name='OverlordShinnra' timestamp='1356592817' post='3068398'] Two different nations. The nation who finished #1 in casualties finished like #5 or some jazz. Twas really close to finishing #1 though. [/quote] Thank you for clearing that up. Your original statement was misleading. Thanks!

[quote name='OverlordShinnra' timestamp='1356590734' post='3068372'] BTW TPC not only had the #1 nation last round [b]but also was #1 in casualties.[/b] No matter how you try to slice it we are awesome in every regard. [/quote] Was that nation one in the same, or two different nations? If one, I did not notice that. If so, who was it? And Good Luck all, and have FUN!

Why don't we just ask Admin to post Casualties as part of the TE finish stats? Easy answer to all the chest pounding and given it is TE, seems to make sense.

I 4th this suggestion!

Thanks, Kevin.

[quote name='Therm' timestamp='1355552412' post='3064009'] Not agree. Setting up your nation (ie doing nothing other than paying bills) takes 5 seconds. Everything else can wait. If you get declared on, thats life edit: when I say everything else waits, if you are building, buying, etc on day0, you are doing it wrong edit2: doing it wrong = round 16-19 TE metagame (where day1 rogues tended to not happen that often although it appears they are a regular occurrence now) [/quote] Do you expect hundreds of people to be able to fully set up a nation within an hour or two? Is that realistic? Of course not.

As I currently understand it, a new TE nation gets one day of "peace mode". That is, no nation can attack within one day of their creation. In fact, if the reset is at 11:00 pm server time, a nation can be attacked in as little as 1 hour + 1 second. I suggest that the "peace mode" period be extended to 3 days. The peace mode period was 1 day when we had 30 day rounds. It should be extended to at least 3 days given we are in 90 day rounds. Given the inconsistency in the resets, a slightly longer period of "peace mode" make sense. If we can not be exactly sure when the new round starts (last round, it was 1 hour before update for day 2), a couple of extra days to get ones nations set up seems correct. Thanks for your consideration.

[quote name='kongland' timestamp='1355249187' post='3062690'] I hate to fight people I like - my foible lol [/quote] Based on history, it seems you like nearly everyone.

[quote name='Broncoskid8' timestamp='1354484036' post='3059644'] this will be interesting to watch [/quote] Curious, what is your TE nation?

[quote name='Eumirbago' timestamp='1354260230' post='3058481'] There's nothing to lose. Reescalate! [/quote] Any reason that you are ashamed to post your actual AA? Any reason that you are not ashamed with your AA's inability to honor the Peace Agreement that you asked for?

[quote name='TigerBaby' timestamp='1354258688' post='3058475'] Looks to me like one of yours nuked one of theirs after the update. So sad. [/quote] I think that you have that wrong. Do you want to stick by that claim or do you want to actually post the real facts? The only nuke launched after update was by an RE nation on an OP nation. And by the way, that RE nation not only nuked, but let out a full volley of other attacks. Again, you like facts?

[quote name='Azaghul' timestamp='1354246812' post='3058383'] But I want more casualties [/quote] Looks like you may get some if RE can't even honor something as simple as a Peace Agreement that they asked for. So sad.
