I have a natural "tightrope" as you can see and as I commented. It was more difficult for me to find one from just drawing a line in paint. I would like to thank the academy and, of course, Black for this wonderful present!

Case in point, most of our raiders actually profit a lot, besides the retaliations. Personally, I got enough loot for 2 cities thanks to the previous war. By the way, I can name quite many alliances that do not retaliate, but I don't want to make people angry. Go through the war logs if you want to check

Although it was hard to find a natural "tightrope"... although it's not the season for bananas... although unicycles flexible enough for a gorilla don't exist... I present to you Captain Gorilla! P.S. Make me a pirate with NRF. It will be pretty fun.

You are a tough one. 50-50

"... their inactive for 3-weeks, indifferent members". Here I fixed it for you.

I don't remember ever countering for inactives who haven't joined for more than 1 week. Unlike some alliances, we have no purple nations and don't whine about inactive members being raided. And we don't need a pathetic casus belli like this, just to be able to infra-bomb someone because of being war-deprived. By the way, if we do get purple inactives and keep them (because?), please raid them and give us 30% of their loot. I don't expect much though.

Dear residents of Orbis, Due to the recent changes introduced to the game, nations on the color gray no longer contribute to Alliance Taxes. As a result, one of the few reasons to keep more than 10-days inactives to the alliances has vanished. Especially alliances of lower scores which used to have a ratio of actives to inactives more than 1:2 have now lost an important source of income. Fear not my friends. Because Arrgh! is here to save the day! The deal is simple! By allowing Arrgh! members to raid your inactives... you will receive 20% of the nation's loot... (this percentage can be bargained) and of course get any bank loots back. Not only that, but you will also encourage your members to make the huge effort of logging in the game at least every 3 days, so that they will not become a target for such a bargain! Arrgh! members may knock your door and ask for such a deal or may even bust such a door and raid your inactives either way. Ghosts have to be dealt with quickly. However, even in this case you can bargain with Arrgh! for a percent of the profit. Or just counter us as always, losing even more money on mindless wars protecting indifferent members of yours. Profit! Motivation for activity! More profit!

How rude. Coming from Arrgh, I did not only ask for such a "permission" from certain alliances, but also presented a bargain. With the current system, grey nations contribute nothing to the alliance taxes. Keeping a grey, 3 weeks inactive to your alliance, who will obviously not join again, offers nothing to the alliance (except for inflated alliance score). What I offer is this: permission to raid the target, giving back the alliance bank loot and 20% of the nation's loot back to its alliance (the exact % can be bargained). It's a new trade model that you should exploit while you can. Or you can just keep inactives till they get deleted with no profit for none of us. Besides, if you really want people to not get inactive, letting them know that they will not be protected is a kind of motivation. At least a bigger one from, "You can stay here forever, no matter your activity". To those intereseted to this wonderful bargain, please call Arrgh!

What? Am I the only one who was pressing ctrl+A before reading the forum posts?

You cut it at the best part! We demand more details about these good times!

Too short; did not read.

I am sure you have offered a lot to the game too. Considering how it is now in a standstill. But don't worry, we may join you if you beg. Also, at some point, you have to decide what you want in TKR. On the one hand, you ask for a sphere that could antagonize you and blame TEst, Roz Wei and Arrgh! for the recent wars with the nuke bloc, Valyria, etc. which had as a result weakening such "future rivals". On the other hand, you just attack paperless, stating that paperless can BECOME exactly this antagonist you are asking for, and your CB is "hitting before getting hit". So, which is it?

I was as serious as Micchan was... I am sorry this was not obvious.

If you look at Micchan's first post at the same thread, you will see that you are about 4 days late.
