Branimir Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Do you people honestly think alliance leaders decide a war is going to happen because of what time of year it is? Its all about horoscope actually,...you have to know how to read the stars and planets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northrend Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 So when do you think this "great war" is going to be? Soon. Very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Paradise Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 There's been six world wars.Plus 10 other wars involving a major alliance or coalition: The Citrus War Polar Wars I and II The Maroon War The Viridicide NPO-ONOS War FAN-Initiative War The NADC War Woodstock Massacre One Vision-GATO War 3 out of 16. Not bad. Unless other seasons seem to consistently have more major wars than one per year, I'd still say that 3 major wars in 3 summers is good enough. But I don't actually care, and I don't know why I'm discussing this, so I'll stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrie Melodies Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 The lack of general bitterness leads be to believe a major war is still sometime off. Look for a serious insult or some OOC attack to pop up, then we will have that war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandrivia_2 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) we need a spark, and I dont see one coming quite just yet, I also predict we'll see a bit more political dancing, and a bloc or two more before the fireworks begin. This is what I'm guessing as well. Something is in the air though, and don't be too shocked if things happen all of a sudden, though it may be a while. All you need is an open mind when reading the OWF and AP. Edited February 14, 2009 by Mamaev II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptGodzilla Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 There isn't a timeline for great wars. They tend to happen during the summer, though, because that's when everyone is online. However, the event that triggers a great war happens quite sudden, but you'll know when the spark occurs. this "they tend to happen during the summer" theory is pretty lame seeing as GW2 (in winter) and GW3 (in spring), UJW (september) and the recent war (happening at the tail end of summer via august) with many more large beatdowns and little skirmishes happening WAY more frequently during the spring fall and winter months than during summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homura Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Only 5 Great Wars. Not 6.1.)Great War 1 2.)Great War 2 3.)Great War 3 4.)Great War 4/Unjust War 5.)Great War 5/ War of the Coalition Some people consider the war between the Imperial Nations Coalition and Cross Alliance and Treaty Organization to be a world war, mainly because they were the only two major alliances around when it happened, plus they called it "World War 1" at the time. There was no Great War 5. Yet. I know I'm sounding like HeroofTime by saying this, but the only people who call it that are the ones that want to claim their alliance was part of a "Great War". Yes it was the biggest war in the history of Planet Bob, but this time, the majority of people seem to agree it's not the Fifth Great War. The timing of all 16 major wars I cited appears to be coincidence more than anything else. There's no evidence to back up the claim that major wars tend to happen during the period from 1 June through 30 August, and in fact it appears from that wars are actually less likely to happen then.

Prodigal Moon Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 All I want to know is whether I need to get my Manhattan Project on Friday or if it could wait for another month. If one of the evil global puppet masters could just give me a 1 month heads up I would be super grateful, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Whimsical Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I was glad it didn't spark before I got to buy my military wonder. Can we go next month? Please? I'd like to buy a FAFB before fighting off buggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattski133 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I'm gonna go with the same thing I've heard since December "1 to week to 1 month, I don't know, it's crazy". I think the spark happened and you can countdown ten days out from that spark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Janova Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 War is only in the air because of dumb threads like this one. There is a little tension in the air, but that does not mean that a war is immediately in the offing. (For example, think of the Ivan/Moo issues in July 2007. There was no war anywhere for another 2 months, and no war between the Orders at all.) Certainly, there will be another war someplace, sometime. But that will not be here or now, I don't think.

Matthijs Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) You can't really predict dates. GW2 started on just another dreary January day, GW3 in March. Both of them also started over some very concrete events. Some kind of direct cause, a defence of some proxy, or some spying incident, stuff like that. Even when there are already deeper-lying reasons for war. But it doesn't happen that there are "tensions" for a long time, and then suddenly everyone declares war. There also needs to be some sort of pay-off before a major war starts. An alliance won't start a war for the hell of it. But they might do it if they are confident that they can decisively beat the enemy, when they have sufficient allies, etc. I.e. when the potential benefits are greater than the costs.

Alterego Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 You don't have to be a genius to know war is coming. The only people who keep saying that are fringe players who have screwed themselves onto ZI lists and need a war to get off it. I might be cynical but its also the truth.

Bob Janova Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Feel free to start one whenever you like. (OOC: I get annoyed by people complaining about the lack of wars/drama, who sit there in alliances well connected with the web and do nothing to create fun in the game, instead waiting for other players to do it for them. If you're not having fun, you can stir things up yourself.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
