/compounds/ - The Compounds of Harmony

Actually, I was doing the combat calculations on the group I sent at you. You could probably defend for quite a bit less if you focused on not trying to wipe me out in one turn.

Especially if I have a history of forgetting to pay upkeep like some players.

Defensively, using the spreadsheet I set up to defend against Become to Cum's incoming attack, you only needed to field about 2200 Calv to defend the first wave. Anything past that, and any damage you did on top would have been effective above and beyond basic defense.

( 400 Bigdog, 1800 Nope )

So about 500 million in troops, and material support like armor and barracks of course. Which is what I was expecting of you guys.

I'm still writing up my final conclusions at the moment though.

If any one wants to know specificly, I sent a total of:

1000 ChemLight/Titan Tanks

1000 Canopy/Dragon Pegasi

1000 Grid Square/D2A Unicorns

1000 Water Line/Shubidu Naval

in easily countable groups of 500. You can check my math if you like.

>If you had stuck with those 200 troops you first sent me I had the ideal calculation of the minimal troops I could send with my savings (120 Mb)

Yes, I know.

That's why I did exactly what I did to you.

Which I'm not telling too many people about what I did because it was possibly one of the more evil tactics I've tried in this game.

But I also know how FFA would handle that defense while CSNE was still here. I know how I would have defended you in that situation. I know what the skype chat should have been talking about within six hours of my sending that group. Again, I was able to calculate a defense of ~2.2k Calv in about five minutes because I was already planning defense at the time. My groups were intentionally simplistic to make your defense easier.

It was specifically an attack that you could not have withstood alone, that you would need to ask for help to survive.

While you did not have the billion for troops and materials available in that ~24 hour period, there were people in your alliance who did, and people in your alliance who knew about your attack the minute it was headed to you, and people in your alliance who promised: we can defend you

Gathering the copper for armor, sugar, and cash to field a defense would have been an organizational nightmare. But people learn by doing.

>by the wealthiest nations

I had a two nation state. I am in no way a rich man, and I'm no great player of the field.

There are a large number of players greater than I, people who dwarf me, even if my numbers are slightly large at the moment.

Life Giver was involved with some of the greatest players and defenders before the reset also. I wouldn't doubt his capacity to take action really. Again, like I said, people learn by doing; and there are still a number of very rich nations inside the FFA, who were active at the same time.

Remember when I sent you this message?

I wasn't activity checking you specifically. And I didn't lie.

I was activity checking FFA.

I wanted to see how much attention you would give to my invasion.

I wanted to see how much attention the decentralized nations would give to a number of related separate attacks.

I wanted to see if the group dynamic was still active, even if it was a bit rusty.

Like I told Nicole: If I gain countries in the process, that's a failure in my book.

> I don't believe in evil, only arithmètic.

Luckily, evil falls under philosophy. And what I did to you made you ask in multiple places for me to be deleted.

Not banned, deleted.

>Like I told Nicole: If I gain countries in the process, that's a failure in my book.

I think I might be a devoted follower at this point~

~Nevermind the fact that I'm Nicole's servant as well, but that's neither here nor there~

>>3915

>What is rich?

Why are we discussing basic terms? Is this philosophy? Do I have to define the limit of my own knowledge?

Assume most players, after a point have access to about 200 million in bits and material at any given point of time, per country. It's not a fair number, some have quite a bit more, some have less due to expansion and such.

A billion bit defense isn't really bank breaking. That's the point of alliances, you can't do everything alone. Yes, I was in the top 10 empires before this started, but people did out rank me. People who are also aligned with you.

>They're not active on this board.

I didn't attack them on the board, I attacked them in the game. In the context of the game, I intentionally tripped defenses meant to stop people from doing exactly what I did.

I didn't even mention this on the board until after the fact, because I wanted to see how well the internal lines of communication worked, even from the outside.

It was an activity check of FFA.

>(And how does Nss4fun relate to FFA?)

Have you looked at that alliance's main page?

Please see the attached picture.

> A false flag can't increase one's speed IRL.

But planting 'forces' nearby in a peaceful police action or by subterfuge and reallocating them to aggression is a perfectly acceptable underhanded tactic iRL.

Then there's the additional fact that this is a game, with generally consistent game logic, and you came to a conclusion that required a game response from the admin.

You screamed HAX at the top of your lungs, which also wouldn't work very well iRL either.

I didn't have to increase my speed over a standard invasion, I just needed you to operate under incorrect information for as long as possible.

> What were the scores?

Well, I bailed out because RL kicked in, and I don't really like cold wars.

The Guild were pretty much the winners once everyone was completely fed up with being hit by 30k units every wartick, and the game dissolved into a weird perpetual society based around Don't Wake Daddy, and people didn't want to play, causing the collapse of the markets, which is the first sign of the game falling apart.
