I am sincerely sorry about the issue with the previous 12AM server update not resetting military purchases or espionage operations. Additionally, two turns of MAPs and revenue were also missed.

This error affected everyone, and unfortunately I was not around to resolve the issue when it happened. Ss23 fixed the issue so that subsequent turns worked correctly, however, at this point we only have another 5 hours before the next 12AM turn so I am not going to manually reset the timers (which would benefit anyone who happens to be online in these next 5 hours.) Everyone's military purchases and espionage operations will be reset automatically at the next 12AM server update, and we should not have any issues from here on out.

Again, I do sincerely apologize, I know that this issue is particularly frustrating for those in the midst of a large war and will have disproportionately hurt some players more than others. Unfortunately, there's not much more I can do to make this situation better at this point. I will work to make sure that issues like this do not happen in the future. I thank you for your patience and understanding.

A number of awards (such as: Most Infrastructure) have been added, and display on your nation page. They'll shift once a day. For more info, read the forum post above.

Starting May 1st, Politics and War will no longer offer VIP Benefits (access to the VIP Lounge, new VIP forum pips) to VIP members. All in-game benefits will remain, rest-assured, this is just to reduce my workload in manually processing VIP subscriptions on the forum.

If you have any questions or concerns, please read the full thread here where I've likely addressed them. https://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/12300-4182016-deprecating-vip-forum-benefits/

This isn't anything related to gameplay, just a quick announcement that I've removed the "Report" message button (the little red alarm) and replaced it was a "Block" button. You now have the ability to block communications from other players - what this will do is prevent you from seeing any messages from them, and won't let them set an embargo/war declaration message when interacting with you.

This does not prevent you from being attacked by other players or anything like that, this is just a quality of life improvement for players who wish not to communicate with select others.

You can manage your blocked users on the Account page, which got spruced up a little bit and is more convenient to use.
