Stagnation that every one of those dreamers would then immediately and without hesitation fight to uphold. Sounds about right. Ultimately...

I can confirm. NPO has certainly exercised their will via nationalistic self-preservation but in my opinion, both from my time as mid-government in Pacifica to my many years outside of the alliance, they weren't schoolyard bullies. Tomato, tomato? If anything, for many years they were this game's most interesting bogeyman, and it was this fact that motivated many - like MK - to strive and thrive. This game isn't !@#$ because of NPO's tactics but because, over the years, everyone (Pacifica included) has stopped genuinely trying. This game is gripped by extreme lethargy. Every single alliance that has existed in the last 5+ years is to blame. This isn't news and is hardly a revelation. It's easy to say that if I disapprove of the state of the game that I can do something about it, but sadly I can't. My 20k of Kashmir's polarized 750k NS is fairly powerless to make fundamental changes in this game. We'll continue to go with the wind until Admin bothers to mercy kill us all then we'll move on to the next game, project, or topic. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Apocalypse Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 How about the Top 10 AAs declare neutrality and to be entirely self-reliant, the rest of us get to play without them turning up at the behest of the another one for the sake of overkill. Just do it already, there's so many bags of inert nothing at the top they may as well go the way of GPA at this stage. They have trillions in cash and the game has no rubber-band mechanic to allow those literally a decade behind in their nation building to catch up, they won't/can't participate because of game fatigue/rl commitments so why not just abdicate yourselves from any kind of actual game play if you can't actually play the game with the rest of the game. Start playing the game again and remember how once upon a time this was actually kinda fun. (you also just lost the game btw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(you also just lost the game btw) My conspiracy to ideologically conquer this world has come to fruition, don't even just for a moment think that any of this happened by chance. Everything went according to my plans, The Neutral Menace simply won. evil chuckle Wait, this is an OOC forum. Back to serious mode. Your one is an excellent analysis, really. If I wanted to actually play again I'd totally let my nation slip into inactivity and I'd then start from scratch with a new one (for those wondering: yes, years ago I've been told by the Mods that it would be legal as long as there's only one active nation per player at any given time). Only, the game is broken and corrupt and, more importantly, it's not credible anymore. I stay only for my trade partners and to kill time, I have no incentives to try play again this stuff. I wouldn't have the time for it either. At least I'm not overkilling anyone and never I did it. But yes, as unlikely I deem it to be, I wish you to get what you're looking for, eventually. Good luck.
