Currently we're allied to Umbrella, The Order of the Paradox, Viridian Entente and Sparta. We have some pissant protectorate too. Mushroom Kingdom disbanded last summer. Complaints and Grievances, the bloc of four alliances we used to be allied to, has gone completely mentally retarded and has split off to align themselves with the New Pacific Order, R&R and NATO. The International left C&G because of that horrible decision making in the bloc and is currently tied to our side of the web but also holds onto their ODN treaty, hence tying them to C&G and they have a treaty with The Phoenix Federation (which still exists yeah I know it's loving sad and as much of a shell as you'd expect TPF to be) which ties them into NPO's sphere as well. Our friends in Umbrella are allied to a couple of AZTEC alliances. AZTEC is one of the new, emerging power brokers in the game.

IRON, currently the largest alliance in the game, tried loving over both coalitions for both sides during the last war and is being protected by AZTEC while people behind the scenes are trying to frame the war IRON organized, planned and subsequently did gently caress over both sides by doing really dumb poo poo, on TOP. Valhalla reformed and during the last war signed an agreement with the New Pacific Order to not actually fight them so Valhalla and the New Pacific Order could spare themselves from taking too much damage. Valhalla basically hosed everyone on the Pacific front on IRON's behalf. And yet somehow Valhalla and IRON still exist as anything other than rubble today. The New Pacific Order is rumored to be making a play against the New Polar Order due to a very lame rivalry between the two alliances. Also probably because Polar and their friends beat the poo poo out of Pacific and their friends.

I'm not sure what our plan is for the future since I quit doing government poo poo about two or three months ago. You'll just have to take it on faith that Milton and Sardonic aren't going to put us in a really lovely position where we have to choose between two sides.

I'm in the New Polar Order (been with them just before we got hit by IRON/TOP a while back), I'm just terribly out of touch with politics nowadays though I'm well aware of the mutual tension with us and Pacifica. The only time I cared about politics was... I want to say 6+ years ago, I used to be a council member in ACDC before the unjust war, on black team. I think we were allied (in some way) to goons back then (but I remember things being a hell of a lot different with goons then).

I used to be on a side that hated polaris to being IN polaris. This game is very strange sometimes. And its actually alive again! Admin making things happen sure is a nice thing to see. I hope this game really picks back up, I might start paying attention again.

Most of this makes sense, but who is NpO allied to on either of the large sides? Or are they more of a separate faction entirely?

Sparta, Fark, CCC, TOP, MCXA, and a couple others. If Goons are buddies with Sparta, it could be amusing to see you guys join in on our side if a war with NPO comes to be.

NpO has their own power sphere. They're in a bloc with Sparta, Fark and the Mostly Harmless Alliance. They have treaties with a bunch of other alliances like NADC, Legion, CCC (spreadsheet christians), MCXA, etc. Basically a bunch of alliances that have never been anything on their own either since the early days of the game or ever in their entire existence. Their only significant ally outside of their bloc is one that essentially saved Polar from being the alliance being beaten down last war to the alliance who performed the beat down, is The Order of the Paradox. The TOP-NpO treaty changed the political dynamic following the Pacific Order and IRON's victory over Doom House (MK, Umbrella, GOONS et al.) back in early 2013. Pacific's former leader, a loud mouthed, ego maniacal, sociopathic autist made it very easy for the coalition he built to attack us back in 2013 to walk sideways from him and his lovely alliance due to trampling all over the various desires of his coalition. So that led to NpO signing with TOP and then TOP-NpO beating the gently caress out of NPO, which leads us to today where AZTEC is protecting a backstabbing, garbage alliance like IRON from being put in their place while a bunch of other nerds play the blame game like school children.

Yeah sure, but why is GOONS allied to Sparta? They are literally poo poo.

Baron of Bad News

Because due to MK disbanding and changes in the political dynamics over the last 18 months, the bloc Sparta is in is important to our long term interests just as having ties to us is important for them. Basically C&G and XX have switched places. Quite literally.

I played with some people in college back in 2006, never did much. I went to play with you guys about a year ago maybe two, and kept rolling lovely rear end resources and stopped trying after a month or so of rerolling. With resource rerolling built into the game sounds like fun. Apping as pixaal. I haven't played with that name, so you don't have to worry about any bad blood from college if you actually cared about stuff 8 years ago from an account long gone.

I'm pretty sure my current resources are lemons but gently caress it I'll worry about trade later since its now fixable.

That's exactly the right attitude to have. Resources can now be changed once a month. If you change before getting into a trade circle, you're SOL, but if you wait till you're in one you can just freely switch to whatever that circle needs.

Goddamn, I remember all that garbage about Norden Verein (or however the gently caress their name was spelled). I'm pretty sure that's what drove me out of the game the first time, actually, was my complete disgust at most of the people who just kind of rolled with that.

I mean, even if Kaiser Martens really was the most abominable piece of human poo poo on the face of the planet, there are lines that really just shouldn't be crossed, and that event set a lot of precedence for just ignoring those lines.
