Roofus Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 At least 85% of NPO's top 50 nations are in peace mode while only 26% of IRON's top nations aren't fighting. I pray that Karma doesn't accept any surrender terms until these nations fall. Infact, most of NPO should fall below 10k NS before any terms are signed.

Opethian Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 It's just like a real war, you see. The "brave" leaders stay in their bunkers while the meat shields of their populous die in droves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elderago Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 not that I love the NPO but perhaps their bank nations eh ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roofus Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 not that I love the NPO but perhaps their bank nations eh ? Probably, and these should be attacked ASAP so that NPO can't quickly rebuild right after the war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiss Goodbye Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 IRON's top nations mostly have $1 billion warchests. They're ready to fight already. The thing that started this whole ****storm was that NPO was really weak in that department. They may well not have enough to fight a prolonged war.

Mixoux Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 not that I love the NPO but perhaps their bank nations eh ? Bank nations aren't nearly as effective of a strategy nowadays, what with warchests and the sheer amount of money it'd take to repair just a single semi-large nation. Sure, it's good to still have a remaining upper-tier that was untouched by the war so they don't become completely obliterated, but at what cost for the rest of the alliance that has to sit by and watch?

BamaBuc Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 What's funny is how people were so outraged when NPO wouldn't give GATO peace until all their banks came out of hippy to be "punished". I bet if NPO was beating someone down and decreed that they would never get peace until they all came out of hippy and reached a certain NS, there would be a huge outcry. -Bama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it as a valid military strategy, but the irony of whose using it right now is quite amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylar Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 well if they were fighting NPOs score would be dropping 100xs faster, so it makes them take less damage and it seems to be working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alter Leader Nabla Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Well, we can't ask NPO to be as awesome as us. It's not something any alliance can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Caspian Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 In all fairness, it's a valid military strategy that Karma can (and will) only whine about but really there's nothing we can do except catch them when they come out and we shouldn't fault them. It does seem a bit hypocritical of them considering what they did to GATO, but it's just as hypocritical for Karma to push for these Peace Mode nations to be crushed before any terms are negotiated.

BamaBuc Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) Gosh, you think that might be why this came up? Of course I do. It's just as hypocritical as the "LOL PEACE MODE" crowd being in peace mode. -Bama EDIT: Caspian said it better.

Orkules Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 not that I love the NPO but perhaps their bank nations eh ? You'd think they'd have figured out by now that having large warchests on most or all of your nations > a few banks in peace mode. And they dared to insult all of their opponents for hiding in peace mode. Oh the great taste of hypocrisy in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Paul Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Actually, I fought two rounds of war and Karma messed up the stagger so I went into peace mode and am currently reloading. I'll be out when I have 20+ nukes again. See you soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kindom of Goon Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Why does it matter? If they're cowards who run into peace mode every war then their nations are nothing but stats so it doesnt matter. If its some sort of strategy them let them fight how they want. Yes its pretty pathetic considering what they did to GATO and FAN over the same thing but fighting patheticness with more patheticness doesnt = win.

They lead their alliance with those "stats" in the form of power and the ability to distribute wealth to new nations. You have to think of NPO as a centipede: If you smash half it's legs it will still crawl around, but if you cut of it's head it will die.

Ninja Colt Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I'd say what's more pathetic is all the failed staggers that led to them reaching peace mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diomede Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) I find the OP hilarious and tip my hat to Sir Paul. I find it interesting how NPO has done much of what it's done because it can, and wouldn't be surprised if any other alliance (other than maybe GPA/TDO/neutrals) did similar things to their own enemies. I'd say what's more pathetic is all the failed staggers that led to them reaching peace mode. I can back this. /me glares at a certain nation formerly at war with Zenith.

Sir Paul Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I like the cut of your jib. Why thank you. Anyways, after speaking with some of my comrades, it seems that their experience mirrored mine: Fight a few rounds, exhaust the nukes, slip into peace-mode and reload. Which is fine: an inter-alliance coalition isn't expected to have too much coordination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
