The Game Rules have been revised, adding two new additions:

Faking Vacation Mode

The first addition is an additional paragraph in the "Vacation Mode" section.

Quote

Faking Vacation Mode is against the rules. Placing an image mimicking the Vacation Mode designation displayed on nation pages is an example of faking Vacation Mode. The punishment for faking Vacation Mode shall be a nation strike.

As many of you may have noticed, in the past couple of weeks a number of players have started putting screenshots of the "This nation is in Vacation Mode for X turns" notice normally displayed at the top of a nation's page when they're in Vacation Mode. I've gotten enough confused/outraged messages about "how can so-and-so declare new wars when they're in vacation mode? They're CHEATING" that I am officially making it against the rules to do so.

I'll offer a grace period of about a week to let people remove these fake Vacation Mode identifiers if they have them.

Moderation as a Weapon

This second rule addition is an entire new section of the Game Rules.

Quote

Moderation as a Weapon

Using (or attempting to use) Moderation as a Weapon is against the rules and punishable by a nation strike. An example of using (or attempting to use) Moderation as a Weapon is threatening to report another player to an Administrator or Moderator unless they comply with your request or demands. If someone is in violation of the Game Rules, you are obligated as a player to notify a Game Administrator (through in-game Messaging.)

This rule is being added to prevent players from abusing each other with threats of reports to myself or other moderators. It is now explicitly against the rules to do things like "hey, if you don't pay me $10,000,000, I'll report you for multis."

Hey everyone,

Achievements have finally been implemented in-game! This initial release features 36 unlockable achievements (with plenty more to come in the future), the ability to showcase achievements on your nation page, and the ability to choose which achievements are showcased from the Edit nation page.

Achievements are showcased on nation pages like so:

Note: On mobile, only the first achievement will appear (to save space.)

There is a link to edit your achievement selection on the top of the Edit Nation page. This is a direct link: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/edit/achievements/

Achievements, unfortunately, are not retroactive. Even if you meet the requirements for a particular achievement (i.e. Build a Hangar) you may have to complete the action again to trigger the unlock. You will receive a notification in-game when you unlock an achievement.

At this time, I am not giving out a full list of all the achievements implemented in the game. It should be fun to let you all figure out what achievements exist and are possible to unlock.

If you have a suggestion for a new achievement, please don't message me, there is an official suggestion thread here:

Like I said, plenty of new achievements will get added. The hard work is done (setting up the system/interface) and so I don't expect we'll run out of achievements to unlock and feature anytime soon.

If you have any questions, let me know!

Hey everyone, just a quick notice about a name change you may or may not have seen already.

Previously, Politics & War was operated under the business Red Road Entertainment LLC. I have re-named this business to Yellowstone Digital Media LLC in an effort to take on other non P&W clients.

This change is in name only, it's still the same person (me, Alex) operating the site.

tl;dr - I didn't sell the game, I just changed the formal name of my business.

Hi everyone!

I'm excited to announce that Politics & War just recently celebrated 5 years since the official launch of the game on August 5, 2014. I should have made this announcement two days ago, but unfortunately it just slipped my mind.

Everyone who logged in on August 5th received a special login bonus, and we're also running a limited time special offer for 1 Credit until August 12th. You can get a special 5th anniversary nation award, custom flag, 30 Days of VIP, and $5,000,000 for your nation, all for 1 Credit.

Learn more about this limited time offer here: https://politicsandwar.com/donate/anniversary/

Note, that it will be impossible to receive this award or these benefits after this offer expires August 12, 2019.
