Lusitan Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 [quote name='KingEd' timestamp='1290201660' post='2517625'] My question has already been asked. Any plans/direction after PnL disbandment? [/quote] Very fair question. Though I wonder why no one actually asked why PnL dissolved Anyway, we're still evaluating our options. The absence of PnL produced a vacuum in our FA policy, we're still going to close some other pending issues before we decide where we want to go. [quote name='JonnyCraig' timestamp='1290202085' post='2517633'] What would your stats have looked like if Zenith did not merge into you? [/quote] At the end of BiPolar Zenith had 40 nations, 660k NS, 110k infra and 40k tech. Zenith members who joined us were, for the most part, very active in our tech acquisition and growth programs. Had they not joined us we would have possibly have grown less. But if they didn't, they probably wouldn't have grown as much either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GearHead Posted November 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 [quote name='Lord Caparo' timestamp='1290187155' post='2517464'] Why does Gearhead love australia when he's a yank? [/quote] Like Uralica said - it has something to do with the fact that I live here. [quote name='Uralica' timestamp='1290188601' post='2517491'] Nice job TFD. o/ That is indeed some impressive growth. For those who don't know, GearHead and I go way back. [OOC: BTW, he loves Australia because he lives there atm, or at least he did live there ] [/quote] Yes. Those were some good times back then too. And I'm still here. Living in Perth now. Stereotypical Aussie town. [quote name='Wu Tang Clan' timestamp='1290187800' post='2517479'] Congrats guys. I anticipate Williamson becoming gov. He's an awesome diplomat over here at X, and he's truly an asset to your alliance. Good luck in the future. [/quote] Williamson is indeed an excellent guy and your good word is definitely going to be stored in my books for future reference. Also, thanks for the kind words and good luck to Exodus as you continue to establish yourselves. [quote name='iMatt' timestamp='1290187138' post='2517463'] Congrats to the elected, and the 5 mill. Onwards and upwards! Question: What is your FA direction? (since PNL is now gone) [/quote] [quote name='Jay Z' timestamp='1290188653' post='2517492'] Congratulations on your growth. Since PnL has dissolved, do you forsee TFD joining any other blocs soon? Ever? [/quote] I'll answer both of these at the same time since they are very similar. As far as our future FA direction post-PnL, we've basically decided to take a step back and evaluate what opportunities come our way now that we've actually made the move. As such, we don't have any "plans" per say for the future...yet. And more pointed towards Jay Z's question: Since we haven't got any plans in mind as of yet, I can't really comment on the possibility of us joining a bloc soon. It could happen, but it's not like we're in a hurry or have any ideas. As for the long-term, I believe it's very possible we end up experimenting with the bloc idea again, but again, I have no idea what that's gonna be. I hope I've answered each question to everybody's full expectations. Let me know if I missed one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan King Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 In this post, I will personally answer all of your questions. [quote name='iMatt' timestamp='1290187138' post='2517463'] Congrats to the elected, and the 5 mill. Onwards and upwards! Question: What is your FA direction? (since PNL is now gone) [/quote] We're keeping our options open. We're not really looking to belong to either pole (those beingPandora's Box and/or the people who don't like them). We're mostly looking for treaties with people who have a similar worldview as us and who we know won't get us rolled for stupid reasons. [quote name='Lord Caparo' timestamp='1290187155' post='2517464'] Why does Gearhead love australia when he's a yank? congrats TFD [/quote] He's an ex-pat turncoat. [quote name='Jay Z' timestamp='1290188653' post='2517492'] Congratulations on your growth. Since PnL has dissolved, do you forsee TFD joining any other blocs soon? Ever? [/quote] Never is a long time. I think we'll probably be independent for a while and see how things shake out. Other than Aztec, we don't really like any of the MDP level blocs enough to ever consider joining them or even getting close/chaining ties to them. I personally am intrigued by Synergy and Checkmate but that's not an official position. [quote name='KainIIIC' timestamp='1290193604' post='2517542'] if there's a tiny critique I can give, it's: need moar nookz. Otherwise, it's quite impressive, I think post-BiPolar the only alliances that have come close would be ones like PhR, MCXA, WF, Legacy, Valhalla etc. that have come close to your catapult upwards. [/quote] Zenith was pretty nuclear heavy, pretty much everyone capable was maxed. TFD members are a bit more reluctant. Some are even reluctant to go nuclear because of their bills. [quote name='mythicknight' timestamp='1290198193' post='2517592'] Thoughts on the wonders of Four Loko? [/quote] Can't say I've ever heard of it. [quote name='KingEd' timestamp='1290201660' post='2517625'] Hehe. Anyways; Impressive Growth TFD - I hope we see those stats put to good use one of these days. Edit- My question has already been asked. Any plans/direction after PnL disbandment? [/quote] Just wait and see how thing shake up. We're actually fairly happy with where we are now. [quote name='JonnyCraig' timestamp='1290202085' post='2517633'] What would your stats have looked like if Zenith did not merge into you? [/quote] Probably about half as many nukes and wonders and missing 1/3 of the tech. We really pushed tech, wonder, and nuke acquisition (as well as casualty) in Zenith and former Zenith nations have more than TFD nations of a similar age. Those of us from Zenith who are still active are really starting to push the TFDers to wonder up. Zenith probably didn't contribute much in the way of infra because we were all pretty mowed down in Karma and TOP/CNG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Actually, according to the closest sheet of UE's data from before the merge, 25 April (http://uevil.maybe.net/new/2010-04-26_MEGARD.html), Zenith's contributions were: [list] [*]133,481 Infrastructure [*]43,745 Technology [*]240 Nukes [*]36 Members [/list] On the same day, TFD's Stats were: [list] [*]519,263 Infrastructure [*]193,192 Technology [*]555 Nukes [*]136 Members [/list] Doing some approximated math, since the merge we have grown on our own (the difference between what we have now and the sum of TFD and Zenith back then): [list] [*]115,165 Infrastructure [*]128,219 Technology [*]453 Nukes [*]-7 Members [/list] So I think it's safe to say most our growth was due Iggy's ability at Alliance Development and less to Zenith's merge, specially the technology and nuke part However, the infrastructure contribution was actually pretty big compared to what we have grown on our own XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
