The first OBL World Championship has come down to the final two teams! See the thread on the forums here: http://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/7976-first-obl-world-championship-bracket-schedule

Our two competing teams are the Wisconsin Badgers and the German Republic Marines in the first ever OBL World Championship! They'll play a series of 7 games tomorrow (8/27) to determine which team is the best in the league! Check in on the forums tomorrow to see who wins!

Check out this announcement on the forum!

Charts have been updated and improved on the site.

A Nuclear Proliferation Map page has been added, for your viewing pleasure.

For any user suffering from Epilepsy, there is now the ability to disable flashing (.gif) ads on the Account page. By default you will see these ads, but if the option now exists to disable seeing them.

Sorry, the game was temporarily offline for almost an hour today. I was responding to a pertinent issue that required the game to be offline, if you'd like to read more about what the situation was, click here.

The game is live again and stable, and everything ought to be back to normal.

I'd like to see Politics & War forums become a bit of a hub for gaming related discussion that doesn't necessarily pertain to P&W. For all of your other games, I've created the Gaming discussion area with special subforum for the more popular games. We'll have votes on which games stand out in their own subforums and which ones won't.

Come join in the fun discussion and help kick things off, and if you don't have a forum account yet, now's a great time to register one, and post in here to get a $50,000 bonus for your nation!

On an unrelated note, I've removed the full game simulation texts from OBL games. They'll still display when you play an away game, but they won't be saved to the database, as they were occupying too much space.
