Anyone caught changing the govt of someone with a Gm should be nuked repeatedly.
Spying tax rate can be effective, especially when combined with things like blockades. If they manage to escape to PM, they've got 20% blockade, tax rate is 24%, they spent 3 days in PM recovering from anarchy, so they've got the built up PM penalty. It can take a hit
Even stupider then spying to change govt of somebody with a GM is spying to destroy nukes when the person has 1) 5 or fewer nukes and 2) has a HNMS, something that has been attempted repetitively upon my nation by a nation who is large enough that they should know better.

5-7% in nuclear anarchy doesn't amount to !@#$.

And it does not matter to me who would make a statement like this. If Liz or Penkala or Allied_Threat or anybody else I hold in high regard made an equal post, I would also point out their foolishness, and bring them to the lower rung known as humanity. Your God complex is the issue at hand here.
You hold Penkala in high regard?
lol. I think that sums up and invalidates your entire argument, good day.

I think you have it backwards, you are first and foremost a ruler of a nation.
technically yes, but people don't behave as such.

We could also use a reminder that Alliance Announcements are IC. I'm serious. People really need to stop referring to "pixels," "the game," etc. and make some attempt to be rulers of nations.
no, because first and foremost, we are not rulers of nations, we are members of alliances, thats sadly how it works, and alliances do things and think things that are not always IC.

With GPA's growth, its only a matter of time before Doomhouse attacks them, fearing that they are growing too powerful.

CSN originally wanted 40k tech from 2k+ nations, seriously?
I hadn't heard you guys were doing *THAT* well in the war, if you've got the balls to demand that much, then you must be doing well enough that you won't mind if they choose not to accept it.
You could debate how much leverage DT has, but obviously CSN doesn't have enough leverage in the situation to rip off DT, such a high amount at any rate is a dick move, however considering CSN, I don't suppose I expected otherwise.

Dear Penkala,
I do not know the details of your grievance with WasDrogan, nor do I particularly care, but why are you punishing the rest of us by subjecting us to more of your super insightful and totally fun to read blog posts?

You know, Umbrella isn't all that big and scary when they've got nobody in their range.

Ha!
your old, man.

GATO dragged their feet on the way in, they dragged their feet on the way out.
As they start their sixth year of existence, they've continued the things that has made the world laugh for their first five years of existence.

Things are only worth supporting when it furthers your own personal interests.
Regardless of what is right or wrong, to flip flop whenever it suits your needs is dishonorable and those who do it are childish and deserve only scorn.
(looking at you, VE and MK)

Looking at the title, I wasn't aware that you were that poor at spelling either.
As for your topic, who knows why they aren't going gung-ho with nukes yet, they've got them, and i'm sure they'll use them with time.

Eat some chili, will clear it right up.

3/50 has less to do with encouraging more people to sell, its about better odds of convincing people to sell to you.
If you offer 3/100, somebody else offers 3/50, which offer do you think they'll take? Somebody wanted it bad enough to take that first step, everybody else falls in line to stay competitive.

This does not sound like something I would enjoy listening to?

@Feanor
Boise State would accept an invite to the any of the AQ conferences in a second. Not to mention no one will play Boise State on the blue turf.
Actually, Boise State is moving to the Mountain West Conference for the next season, and 3 other of WAC's best football programs over the past few years (Fresno, Nevada, Hawaii) are also moving to the MWC, and the MWC is keeping their fingers crossed that they might somehow get an AQ bid.
I'm not sure if its going to be enough, but we will see, obviously TCU leaving the MWC does not help out on that front. I think realistically that the MWC is going to need a team or two from one of the existing power conference.
Last summer that looked like a possibility while the Big XII was crumbling, but they look to have stablized.

You'd pick Boise State over Oregon or Auburn?
Both Oregon and Auburn played every week against really solid competition. Playing in a conference like the Pac 10 or the SEC, every game its a team that has what it takes to pull off the upset. We're talking about teams like USC, Oregon State, South Carolina, Arkansas, Alabama, and so on.
In terms of ranked opponents, I look at this, ranked when they played them:
Auburn played South Carolina (12th), Arkansas (12th), LSU (6th), Alabama (11th), and South Carolina again (19th)
Oregon played Stanford (9th), USC (24th), Arizona (21st)
Boise State played Virginia Tech (10th), Oregon State (24th), Nevada (19th)
TCU played Oregon State (24th), Utah (5th)
Both TCU and Boise State had impressive seasons, but they all entered the season knowing how the BCS system worked. Obviously Boise State needed to win every game, and they didn't, and TCU was hampered by not playing top-notch competition every week. Its a system that is far from perfect, but I don't see how it is unfair to rank a team like Auburn/Oregon who went undefeated against power-conference competition over TCU who went undefeated against mid-major competition.
To be a non AQ conference school and expect to get an invitation to the national championship in a year where there are two undefeated AQ conference schools, the only way to make it possible is to build a non-conference schedule against nothing but absolute heavyweights. Boise State beating teams like Wyoming and Toledo by 40 points is impressive, but thats not whats going to get them into a championship game.

Come on Haf I was tracking the events that day and more alliances declared war then actual nations did in that blitz... and it was a planned blitz too... it took a full week to line up.... by which time TPF was already heavilly damaged. If you cant manage to get more then one nation from each alliance (on average) to declare war then it will be remembered.
You also have to remember that the offensive of TPF's allies (and their allies) was limited to 65k+ nations.
But at the end of the day, it will be remembered that regardless of how it happened, it worked, as Athens et. al. very quickly began discussing peace.

There are two political events that will make a difference. The second is the formation of Pandora's Box in October, a large bloc that pulls together alliances from various of the previous power clusters.
How far back are you looking at these 'previous power clusters' anyway? Of the six alliances in Pandora's box, they were ALL on the same side of Karma and the Bi-Polar war, with exception to GOONS, whom I don't believe fought in the Karma war, which is understandable considering that they had just formed.
So they were all on the same side of the web, all Pandoras Box did strengthen the connection between those, otherwise, it did not change a damn thing.
Also, I don't know what you were smoking during the TPF war to have gathered such a delusional version of it.

I'd done it ages ago, but could not remember how i scored.
Took it again, results were
Economic Left/Right: -4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.67
I found that in the first 3 1/2 pages, i was mostly just agreeing/disagreeing, but after that it was alot more strongly agreeing or disagreeing.

I bought BC 2 yesterday for 7 bucks too. I also got The Witcher today for $5, down from $20.
I'd say talk Freddie into getting it and we'll play online, but we all know that his computer can't handle it.
Sadly, since my laptop died, neither can mine

I'd imagine that they are probably the sorts of things that are easier when you get an early start on them.

We had a day back in the middle of January where it was 70, then the next week we got eight inches of snow and the windchill was -25.
