They got upset on the forums in a thread that got stuffed into the memory hole. Then they got called out on their dumbfuckery in a coalition coord chat.

I know it can be difficult and confusing to follow the goings-on of a browser game from afar, luckily our dear buddy Methrage has a concise, unbiased and easy-to-follow summary for you all, although I apologize that it is not in fact in AMV format:

Mind you he's talking about being 'reborn' by jumping ship to a second forums account with less moderator warnings against it when he was forced to pick one by the admin. His "Health" is how close he was to a forums ban.

Second most.

The first most he got attacked by goons nine years ago and that was the start of his vendetta.

Yes, nine years of frothing rage over browser based nation simulation games.

How do you figure?

The lack of tech dealing

Not needing to stay up each and every night of a war for the global day timer to tick to be effective in war

The alliance banking system

All of the nation/alliance customization

I would have killed for basically any of these in the CN days.

I mean both games suck, but PnW is so wildly imbalanced that we've been able to break the entire metagame over our knee in like 3 months because of all the broken exploitable poo poo there is. I definitely give it credit for the customization and lots of good qol features but with how the war system and economy work... yikes.

There's just so many bad, bad mechanics in this game. Like spies. You can only ever buy 2 (3 with a nation project) per day, and enemies will routinely assassinate 15-20 of your spies. They can do this once or twice per day with no nation score targeting restrictions, and no limit to how much you can be targeted, and most times they will be undetected. The effectiveness of spies is also based on some stupid rear end formula that doesn't linearly increase how effective you are with more spies. It's very, very much an exponential gain in effectiveness to have more spies.

There is an NS rating restriction. It's just wider than the attack restriction.
