No big deal indeed. Maybe put some smiley faces at the end so it sounds more innocent.

I don't see how the theme is propagating Nazi ideology. And as far as I am concerned the people who are in charge of leading the alliance are decent people who have said multiple times in this thread that that is not their intent. Plus, Alex OK'd it, and since Alex has a strict policy on not having anything Nazi-related in the game I think it's safe to say he was convinced that this was not harmful to those playing the game. Maybe think of their choosing the Afrika Korps theme of the alliance as someone making a movie about Nazis? Depending on who makes it and whether it propagates actual Nazi ideology or glorifies what they did, the fact that Nazis are in the film doesn't make the film inherently bad by any moral standards (Inglourious Basterds comes to mind - and it had quite a few prominent Nazi characters). Some players in the game have the Imperial Japanese Army Flag as their nation flag. I could have thrown a fit about it as a South Korean, but I understood that it was just a theme and that I couldn't just assume their use of the flag meant they stand by what the Imperial Japanese Army did to their colonies and such. Maybe we're all just reading into things a little too much. With that being said, good luck to Afrika Korps. Sorry your thread was derailed by unnecessary political discussion that most of us don't really care about.

Is this recent news? I mean the screenshot.

We wish nothing but the best for HS moving forward! They have been great, supportive allies, and we are excited for the things they have planned ahead!

It doesn't matter what you think of how people 'should have' responded to Roz's message. I didn't copy and paste the link to see what vids he had sent me, but I also didn't ask for him to send me a message with links to porn and his weird interpretation of how this was his way of expressing art. Is there a problem with me not appreciating what Roz sent me 'because it's how the internet is'? Am I supposed to lay down the red carpet for King Roz because he is fighting for the freedom to troll or something? People also seem to be forgetting that Roz himself KNEW he would get banned for this. He WANTED to get banned. And he did. You should be happy he got booted out in style. I can't believe this is still being debated. I thought it was common courtesy/sense not to send random people links to porn when they didn't ask for it, but apparently it's not!

He wanted to get banned, and he did. For sending porn links via in-game messages. What am I supposed to be impressed by?

So when will you be deleting?

Let's gloss over the part that involved us stabbing our allies in the back. lol

Of course in theory we could have gone on for months to try and force a different outcome. Because as an outside observer, many of you don't have to take into account morale, experience, costs and such to continue the war efforts for all the different alliances that took part in the coalition for either side. We weren't forced to agree to the 6-month NAP. Sure. Doesn't mean we can't be unhappy with it if it wasn't the desired outcome for us. We can also feel frustrated at the fact that while people are so keen on bashing the 6-month NAP, they ultimately chose to do nothing about it despite some knowing that the war was coming to a close (and of course I'm assuming a few of you knew that there would be a lengthy NAP involved). I'd also like to point out that that this war was the most 'dynamic' thing that's happened in the past 9-10 months I've been on this game. Everyone talks as if they're willing to fight a global every two months, but my experience here so-far proves that people always like to talk big but don't follow up with their words. To those who actually fought in the war, regardless of which side you were on, thank you for giving many of us the chance to experience our first global (regardless of how it turned out).

There can be plenty of smaller-scale conflicts. You only seem to want globals. Adeptus Mechanicus can start something interesting as well.

So how is that on those that fought the war? Or this NAP for that matter? Even if it was a shorter NAP, people wouldn't have fought wars immediately after it expired anyways according to your logic. The people that fought the war were the ones that broke that 9-month peace.

I didn't mean to counter anything. I'm just saying that since some people (including non-participants) see this as a move towards stagnation and are actively bashing it (and I agree 6 months can seem long), I can expect them to actively try start something up. Is that an unfair assumption to make? Those in the war actually committed a lot of time and effort to fight it, so I'm not going to bash those who were involved in the war. And last time I heard, even with a 3-month NAP Orbis had no wars for more than 6 months. Also, I don't think your TKR comment makes any sense. But okay I guess.

Since people are complaining about the 6-month NAP and the stagnation of the game, I'm looking forward to all the non-participants starting something up in the near future! As for those who fought in the war, it was good (and sometimes painful) fun while it lasted.

I'm pretty sure fighting includes both attacking and defending. It's an umbrella term. How I understood it is, if you VM during a war, you can't do anything about the war you were involved in regardless of whether you were defending or attacking.

lol, I don't know whether to laugh or cry

No need to fight, plenty of pixels to go around for all of us And I'm already days late for this, but welcome to the fray WiFi!

:C Not doing as well as we'd have hoped. Thanks for the stats, gives a good picture of where we're at.

NOT THE HAMSTERS! And the old woman as well, of course...

Long live Awesomenova!

Okay.

@Zygon GRAMMAR PRACTICE GRAMMAR PRACTICE

Let's do this

That's a lot better than what I expected lol

Congratulations!

I don't think it will work tbh. A lot of factors influence stock markets irl and it's constantly changing. What factors will influence stocks in PnW? And if it's going to be based on the real world stock market, what's the point? It doesn't add anything to the game in that case, just a random system where you win or lose money, unless someone's a real stock broker with insider knowledge or willing to spend a large portion of their time analyzing trends in the real world lol
