  1. we value our allies and honor our treaties. In defense of The Syndicate, we declare war on Acadia.
  2. Good example of why it's a good idea to invest more in purchasing cities than purchasing too much infra in each city.
  3. Kudos for Shakyr for bringing this to everyone's attention. It would have affected more people as the game continues to grow. There really wasn't a reason not to have officially posted the rule in the changelog before. Alex does an excellent job here, but this is an example of a player bringing to his attention the need clarify an issue. Why some people here feel the need to chastise someone for bringing this issue to the attention of others (especially Alex) to be clarified through an official announcement doesn't make much sense. The only "whining" being done here is those who somehow believe Shakyr is being a "meanie" to Alex and missing the original point that was made. Now there has been an official announcement and everyone should be on the same page.
  4. So how about the Indians winning game 1 of the World Series, 6-0 over the Cubs?
  5. It is incorrect to say that we "sought to change terms of the arrangement". We (tC and Alpha) both agreed to the $30 million payment in the peace agreement. We held up to our end of the peace agreement by ending all hostilities. You simply did not hold up your end of the agreement by actually making the payment or give a date of when you would pay it. On October 16, Aurelius told you we understood your extensive rebuilding costs, so we would be happy to wait until November 1 for payment. Instead of asking to pay it at a later date because of your financial issues, or accepting that particular date, you felt the need to post it here and incorrectly state we tried changing terms. Again, that is just not true. We already agreed to the peace terms...$30 million. Common sense dictates that the time frame for the $30 million wouldn't be indefinite, so we gave you a reasonable date to fulfill your part of the peace agreement. You obviously find the date reasonable as well so we are happily in agreement. Feel free to do an alliance bank to bank transfer or you can send the $30 million to either Aurelius or myself as a 1 unit food trade for $30 million as mentioned in your post. Once we receive the money, we can then donate it as our alliance begins our new tC donation program.
  6. Welcome to the fray CS. Have fun!
  7. I thought the same thing. Good luck with your new alliance!
  8. Which reminds me of a chart that may help...
  9. I certainly agree that it's in the eye of the beholder. From my perspective, the age of the alliance as well as the length the members (especially leaders) have been in the alliance stand out. I also believe activity and communication within the alliance are essential in creating a solid "established" alliance. Having a foundation set of good diplomacy as well as experience in warfare are keep components as well.
  10. The President's vocabulary and command of the English language is about as important as his physical appearance when it comes to actual governing. It has nothing to do with the important issues I listed above- poverty, income inequality, jobs and debt. All of which have been worse under Obama. Ignoring important facts on important issues by deflecting to "command of the English language" is simply rhetoric. Dignity is subjective and I'll disagree there too. Obama raised the top income tax rate from 35% to 39.6% and raised investment income rates, yet income inequality...increased. Again...the economic numbers from percentage of american's employed, poverty, debt...they are all worse, but yes...Wall Street has thrived more during Obama's years in office than Bush's. Just look at the numbers. Deflecting about Bush going to war for his "oil holdings" is just, well....non-existent. I don't like debating by going off topic, which was the Obama economy has been worse than the Bush economy. Neither were good, but since you brought up Bush's war for oil....Here are direct quotes from leading democrats such as President and Hillary Clinton, Al Gore etc about why we needed to go to war in Iraq. By no means does this validate that is was the right thing to do, but it refutes the folly narrative that we went to war for Bush's "oil holdings". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5p-qIq32m8
  11. I didn't say you did praise Obama. I simply pointed out that the man you criticized for being so bad wasn't as bad as his successor who you did not criticize. Obama did "undo" some tax deals by raising the top income tax bracket, yet income inequality is worse. Spin it any way you want, but when poverty is worse every year under Obama than any year under Bush, less percentage of Americans employed and debt much higher than it was before he took office...Obama and his "cronies" have been worse than the evil Darth Bush. Speaking of Wall Street, that's been the primary benefactor of the Obama Presidency. So yeah...Wall Street has been better under Obama than Bush.
  12. Income inequality is worse under Obama than it was under his predecessor. Poverty has been worse every year under Obama than it was in any year under his predecessor. Today, a less percentage of Americans are employed than when Obama took office. You can complain about Bush all you want, but if he was bad, Obama has been worse.
  13. I disagree with Sanders on just about every issue, but I have to give him credit for being about as genuine as a politician can get. That being said, here's three statements he's made that shows just how stupid the man really is... He said he can't understand why student loan rates are higher than mortgage and car loan rates. (Student loans aren't backed with any collateral) He said the first thing he will do as President is have "his" Supreme Court overturn Citizen United. (SCOTUS isn't "his". It's a separate branch of government that only rules on cases it decides to hear and rule on) He says there aren't enough jobs for Americans with college degrees, but wants to make college "free". (He obviously doesn't comprehend the concept of supply and demand)
  14. Having update at 8PM instead of 3AM is certainly preferable to myself. I assume most east coast U.S. players would agree.
