Who are you again?

It was definitely inspired by that. But meh. I'll just hit his country and kill it instead.

You exist.

I grew up in RAGE. It shaped me; molded me. I learned to channel the burning hatred and anger at the very core of my being. I harnessed it as one would harness the fiery power of the stars themselves. I shall direct death, mayhem and destruction upon all who stand before me, until naught but ashes remains.

MD called, and I looked to them and remembered when they gave RAGE a home. And so I came, out of duty and a desire to wreck havoc one last time.

Let it all burn.

bonus!

I'm here for a bonus post.

Bonus?

I feel like the name box is way too big

Suck it up and do it the old fashioned way!

I could send you to a policy page, or tell others to send you their policies, but honestly, it doesn't matter. All you need to know is one thing:

The moment you try to fight back, the moment you triple tap someone because they triple tapped you or double tapped you, even the moment you launch a missle at someone who farmed you into dirt, that alliance will farm and kill you for it. Regardless of policy.

It's the deep, dark, dirty truth of the server. If you're not organized and in a group capable of defending itself, expect your game playing to suck.

I think the Colors need to voluntarily out themselves, to start. Your entire culture is built on secrecy and manipulation. Cheating comes second nature in a group like that. Tear it down, and bath everyone in light.

Guess LCN won.

Everyone seems to forget. There are LOG files that Qzjul and the other game admins, as well as Pang, can view. These log files show the SQL Insertion attempts. And then you have the Mr.Copper IP addresses. IP Addresses don't release all that quickly. I've done networking and webmaster work. You can fairly well track someone via their IP addresses. This isn't a case of He said. This is more, we have evidence, we know you did it, here's the proof. And the accused going "Not guilty! I'm innocent!"

When you hear "Someone hacked Boxcar" and "Someone attempted to hack EarthEmpires", who do you automatically think of?

For me, it's RD. They have built up a culture of secret spies and blatant cheating. Anything to get an edge. Win at all costs.

Now, if you can spy on an alliance and have only one country, more power to you. But, think about this: When this was Earth2025, and RD was comprised of Colors- people who used alter egos while outside of their respective clans, those people most likely had two countries. One for their clan, the other for RD. There's a strong history of cheating in RD. It's almost essential for RD's shadow group of aliases model.

Just some food for thought. I wholehearted agree with the punishments handed out.

Braden, QZ is Game admin and owner I believe. If you trust him to be void of bias, then you should trust the decision to delete all of RD, as well as that he has evidence of cheating by RD leadership.

From what I understand, it's pretty clear the Syrian national government was behind the attacks. The missles originated from national controlled areas, and only targeted rebel areas. We have positive proof that they used sarin nerve gas.

The real question is, how do we respond? Obama has stated that the use of chemical/wmd's is a red line that cannot be crossed. Frankly, I support him on that matter. It's like detonating a nuclear weapon or releasing a bioweapon. Indiscriminate. BUT. I've read that air strikes alone will not hurt Assad's regime. And if we hit their chemical stores we may set them off. So, if we want to be effective, we're probably going to have to put boots on the ground.

Russia is against a UN intervention in Syria for two reason: It would damage Russian arms trade and Putin is an asshole. No amount of proof will be enough for Russia. Assad could literally confess to using the chemical weapons, and Russia would still veto any attempt at a UN Security Council intervention.

I honestly see SoF calling in help against SoL/Evo/Monsters. Either through FA or simply by calling in RD/Rival/LaF to come do their dirty work. Which is a shame, because it was about as even as it can get.

Actually, I just needed to post something to get bonus points =P

LATC understood, I think. I hope.

With a mandatory requirement to post here on the forums, the bonus post allows users to post useless drivel and worthless comments in order to obtain their bonus points. I postulate that we remove the bonus post in order to force users to produce constructive, well reasoned and thought out comments on the state of the game.

If you don't recognize Blade, then we need to have a talk...

I have to admit, out of all the reasons I've seen for wars, this one is pretty well bullfluff. So, LaF can't compete with EVO in a netting sense, and therefore they decide to FS EVO out of spite?

Who wins in a fight? A Mantis Shrimp or Chuck Norris?

Actually, Congress knew. They've known for a long time. They were the ones who wrote the bill that gave them the authority to do it. They've had oversight. We've had judges re-authorizing the measure every three months for years now. Snow is basically a traitor or an idiot. Usually those are one and the same.

I got to the part about honorable and pacts and started laughing too hard to finish.

If they truly wanted you gone they'd IP ban you.

I'd actually like to see that. It'd be a good morale booster for MGP to utterly trash iMAG. Would also help give them a hint of legitimancy.

Galleri, we're not forcing you to post. If real life is an issue, hand the reins off to a different member of ImagNum and go cope. I can assure you, the war will still be here when you get back.

Fixed.

I think any criticism directed towards you Galleri is relevant. It was your alliance that provoked MD into having to make two kill runs on suiciders. And it was your alliance that then interpreted tag defense as an FS and requested help from SoF, which then caused your alliance to be tag killed in order to make the numbers a bit more reasonable.

I don't consider a hit after 48 hours a retal on a retal. Neither does 99 percent of the server.

I would hope Loc would have better taste.

You know Vic, I've been thinking, that NPC countries and alliances might make the game more interesting.

Galleri, we went into last night with the intention of only killing the ABer and the harmful spy oper and then placing Imag on a DNH. Afterwards SoF contacted us and told us they were going to dissolve the pact and that war was imminent.

If the guy stealing tech is such a problem player, why the outrage over him dying?

Also, you've still not addressed the issue of your retal on retal policy being far longer then what's accepted by the other alliances on the server.

I'm all for saving DANGER.

You're going to spend a lot of sets dead with that policy, you know that?

Aight. I've held my tongue long enough. Fuji and Taveren are nice guys,and thus, they won't call Galleri and iScode out on their bullfluff. I'm not a nice guy, so here goes.

Since when is it a retal on a retal after 48 hours?
"Retal on retals (ROR)** will be retalled the greater of 2:1, 3:1 etc. or 200% land:land in a 48 hr window after the ROR hit. - 72 hr tag responsibility - We perform alliance:country retals

A topfeed is defined as the defender having 125% of the attacker's land at the time of grab (i.e. just before the attack is sent)
A ROR is defined as being any grab on the retaller within 24hrs of the completion of his or her retal(s) - the number of retals are dependent upon the aforementioned points"
-Evolution's Retal Policy

"Grabbing a country which during the past 24 hours has retaled the graber's tag will be considered to be retaling a retal (ror) and retaled either 2:1 or 80% land:land + 1 (depending on what gives more).

We reserve the right to retal according to the other alliance's retal policy if we see it appropriate to do so. " -Omega's Retal Policy

"A landgrab made on a country within 24h after it has retalled on a hit, will be considered RoR and retalled following our RoR policy. After 48h the attack is considered a random landgrab. Also a landgrab made on from the same country within 24 hours will go under this category.

Retal on Retal (RoR): 2:1 (minimum 100%)"- Rival's Retal Policy

"-Retal on retals will be retalled the greater of 2:1 compounding or 200% land:land in a 48 hr window after the ROR hit. "- LaF's retal policy

The point of this wall of text? After 48 hours, basically every alliance on the server considers it a random land grab. Even when they do consider it a retal on a retal, they simply escalate the retals. At no point do they decide to kill a country for it. It is not a killable offense. Especially with land being so scarce. Instead of running kill runs, you want to punish with extra retals. And so Galleri and ImagNum step in here, and claim not only that their retal on retal period is 24 hours longer then the accepted period, but that they'll kill for it? Yeah, no. The entire point was to provoke a war. iScode, where was your intervention when Riddler was killed? Is MD not allowed to defend its tag from the actions of suiciders? That's what those two ImagNum countries amounted to. In the old days, if two countries did that, not only were they killed, but reps were expected IN ADDITION to the killing.

TLDR: Galleri and ImagNum set out to provoke a war by blowing a minor issue out of proportion and succeeded. They should have expected to die for it.

You're at war?

Riddler, much like Chuck Norris, CAN divide by zero.

Bonus!

Obvious Troll is Obvious.

There were numerous allegations in recent Venezualen elections of widespread and rampant electoral fraud. So no, we can't say that the elections were fair.

Murf, come play in MD. We have Blade and JivinGene and even Darrian is kicking about a country these days.

It should be account linked. Twould be the smart way to do it.

hyrdaIRC is pretty good.

Could have sworn we killed him.

What these logs fail to convey is the sheer smoldering passion that Pride and Sov feel toward each other. You don't see that this is a very dirty, dirty skype video call between the two.

Negative. Life expectancy has nothing to do with human birth rates. Once a woman reaches menopause she ceases to have children, irregardless of how old she is. Your statement only works if couples continue to have children throughout their entire lives, which is not the case. Furthermore, the rate of crippling birth defects or other genetic problems (i.e. Down Syndrome) dramatically increases with women over 30 years of age. The majority of children are born to women in their 20s/early 30s. In comparison to say, a mouse, who may be fertile for most of their short lives, humans spend a smaller percentage devoted exclusively to giving birth and procreating. This is a throwback to earlier times in history when the average life expectancy was 30-40 years of age. During that time, it could reasonably be expected that the percentage of the population 18 and under was far higher, not because couples were producing more babies, but because the dilution effect that Qzjul pointed out wasn't occurring. With the advent of modern medical techniques, people are living longer, driving down the percentage of the population under 18.

TLDR: It's fine and you're reading into the statistic wrong. What Qzjul said.
