The admin banned all the leadership of our biggest allies and financiers and deleted their massive feeder alliance based on a tortured interpretation of his rules after telling them months ago they weren’t breaking that rule.

He chose the whales over the rest of the playerbase. And it just so happens that the whales also contain the pedophiles, nazis, and white supremacists.

The dev made a fake discord account to get into the GPWC private discord and alleges that the people in the discord has links (maybe early?) to like... mangareader.com-type scanlations and poo poo. And you cant join the private share channel unless you’re not inactive in the alliance.

Because “I’ll let you see my scanlations if you play this game with me” is considered RMT, it’s a bannable offense, especially because lots of people in the private discord just log in every once in a while to not go inactive (so they can generate taxes for the alliance).

As a result, all the gov of NPO is banned, 95b got deleted from their bank, and GPWC is being forcibly disbanded.

A strict reading of the rules indicates “I’ll give you a steam key if you baseball good” or “I’ll buy Jackbox for us to play together if you fight good” would also be considered serious RMT offenses of the same nature.

Also, I think someone explicitly asked Alex “what if we do it in the exact specific way that GPWC does it” and he said “I wouldnt like that but it’d be a game mechanics flaw and now a moderation issue.”

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
It got really boring logging every day just to see that every single enemy nation had turned into a wreck, I guess this is as good as a time to call it quits as any. Had fun, hope the rest of you enjoy the last days of raiding poo poo.

I guess it’s fun watching the pubs agonize over how their great victory is tainted due to Alex and a while chuck of the community leaving as a result.

unfortunately hideous and irreverislbe

Yeah the silver lining is even our enemies are pissed and disheartened because they didn't want it to end this way. Hard to gloat over a victory that was literally handed to you by the admin, so they all just kinda stopped fighting and want to try to do a full reset of the world now basically

I just applied to play this spreadsheet game with goons without reading the whole thread which is probably the worst idea but I am not a smart man and I'm bored at work.
