Penguin Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) Athens actually had about half that many members at the start of the war. They merged somewhere towards the last month which just about doubled their size. With that in mind, I'd say their actual wars per member ratio is closer to 2.5, but I'd have to do a bit of extra legwork if you really want the actual value. Some of the other stats are inflated by member loss as well. It's still a well-written announcement as usual.

Sir Paul Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 How petty.I love it. I'm not 100% sure but I think Canehda was in GR at least for the beginning of the war, and then he threw a tantrum and left. Some of those wars he fought might not have been with Athens, though I'm not sure how you've calculated this. And that nation no longer exists, by the way. Canehda was invovled in 5 simultaneous wars at the signing of the instrument of surrender, clearly in violation of the Athenian Paradigm. He has since been convicted and drank the hemlock. He will not be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush Sykes Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 You're still on thin ice for fighting not one but two offensive wars at once Rush Sykes. Who do you think we are, FAN? MEH! I will have you know, that I fought 17 offensive wars in the Karma war! I think you should kick me from Athens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Penguin, merging is a great way of increasing score, and a major hedgemonic conflict is the perfect time to beef up on members. Again, I simply want to set the record straight that it is not war that causes Athens to grow, but our paradigm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Judging by this thread, I couldn't ask for better allies. Grats to RoK, VE, and OV for not only topping this list, but the list inscribed on my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F15pilotX Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) Why would there be an exception?I believe the rule is no ZI'ing, so ZI would indeed be an exception, deserved by the heinous act of engaging in 17 wars. Outrageous, and a complete waste of good Athenian resources! Edited October 31, 2009 by F15pilotX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Frontier Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Preach it. I will, thank you. Your sarcastic banter and thinly veiled mockery of me only fuels my own feelings of moral superiority. It's been fun, but I must walk away, to spread my wisdom elsewhere.
