Acca Dacca Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Give it a week. [quote name='President Sitruk' date='07 June 2010 - 08:30 PM' timestamp='1275960623' post='2328401'] I remember CnG saying the final reps weren't enough and that the CC would be back in the game within a couple months because they're so capable of paying off the reps. Well, here we are. Although I lik how the current I/D-Gre situation has turned out... pretty entertaining. As for global wars, I'd say not until the school year starts at the earliest.

Was this not discussed a year ago? I thought it was ruled by the majority that Spying was not a CB. Or has that changed once again? I don't know anymore - with only visiting the OW forums once every few weeks, the definition of a valid CB changes more then desert sand dunes. [/quote] Spying has been a pretty solid CB as far as I can remember and it hasn't really changed. The only time I saw the public response to spying change was when Vox was doing it. And most, if not all, the people Vox was spying on were already at war with them. So no one would have blamed an alliance for using spying as a CB against Vox, but it wasn't really necessary.

[/quote] Think most of the anti-Vox war declarations were over the whole spying (and being a pain) things. It's just that the future winners of the Karma war didn't seem to care a lot about the issue--they got all the benefits without having to do it themselves. I'm not saying it was their plan, but it was something working in their favour. Most of the sarcasm thrown at how solid spying is as a casus belli is from what the New Pacific Order announced as their justification for declaring war on Ordo Verde. No, I'm not going to refight Karma here, just reporting what was the announced reason. Naturally, some may end up bitter about the results. ..thank you, now I'm pondering 'Vox Pacifica' cropping up after two or three years of 'SuperComplaints' hegemony. You think you've seen some Pacifican walls of text before? Wait until they start feeling..um..what's the status that's more patriotic than the average Pacifican's feelings?

Sandwich Controversy Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) Pacifican tabloids are simply nowhere near as effective as This Week in Pacifica, and never will be. Sorry. Nobody ever reads Vladimir's essays either. I would welcome them to try, though. That would be entertaining.

It may be better written due to the fact they don't have much to work with. But, they will never give us anything like, "Pit Vipers" or anything else that I can't remember at this point!

mythicknight Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) I'm just tired of wars that almost-start but never do because everyone suddenly lost their balls, then finally do start [i](or never happen)[/i] a month or so after people think they can win.

Fireandthepassion Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 [quote name='Letum' date='06 June 2010 - 07:39 AM' timestamp='1275827944' post='2326208'] Summer isn't really that much of a necessity for wars. Sure, the increase in time that a large part of our demographic has helps, but the influence isn't [b]that[/b] big. The whole "time to kill" factor is killed by the substantial number of people - and leaders - who do not have the work schedule of students. It's also counter-acted by people who would spend their time on vacations rather than the computer. I mean, if you look at when all the "world wars" started, and keep in mind that most of the major fighting is over within a month or two, it's spring, rather than summer, that tends to be the busiest time of the year.

TimeMaster Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 You foolish people. Winter is late November, December, January, and February. Spring is March, April, and May. Summer is June, July, and August. Fall is September, October, and most of November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schad Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Have to agree with Scipio on this one...in my neck of Eastern Canada, winter is from mid-November through the middle/end of April most years, summer begins with the near-immediate transition from threat of snow to 25 degrees Celsius, and spring is a lie.

Banksy Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Wars have pretty much nothing to do with the time of the year, it's just a fluke that it has happened that way for a few of the early ones. It might be summer for some people, but not for others. Some alliance leaders go inactive for summer, some don't. The only real trend you can get is that there are fewer and fewer wars as the game progresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefano Palmieri Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Heathens, winter is Mid March - late September, with the odd but of snow in Novemember.

Lucky Shot Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hmmmm, maybe CN could build seasons into the offensive/defensive totals for warfare. It could also then add new bonusses to the fray, such as winterizing troops, etc. Bonus for summer warfare, neutral fall and spring, minusses during the winter, unless you are winterized or some such....
