How do we know when one of these starts? Is there an official announcement or is it like a recession where a couple months in everyone realizes what is happening?

It's weird because it is kinda both. Any random Pally can say "hey bitches, intifada at Schlomo's Saturday night" but you don't know whether one is happening until you look at the damage Sunday morning and get some frat guys in to assess exactly how dead Schlomo is when his folks get home that afternoon.

LOL at IDF's "diplomacy game". IDF doesn't get in any party where US isn't invited and doesn't pay for IDF. It's basically IDF yelling obscenities at everyone when nobody likes them and things don't go their way (which these days is always) and everyone else wondering why the gently caress US insisted on dragging that weirdo with them and anyone not in US's team being happy as gently caress that they don't have to deal with the monumental rear end in a top hat.

It's not just yelling obscenities man, have you even seen what a house looks like after IDF's been there? poo poo on the floor, on couches, on tables, everywhere. Bottles of of piss everywhere too. Those guys just seem compelled to leave their excrement everywhere they go like a dog that hasn't been housebroken yet. It's really creepy and disgusting.

Because they didn't even have any tanks. I mean if you really want badass K:D rations, every team has more glorious records the IDF can hope for their best day. Against way better teams too.

Yeah, Clan IDF was formed via server merger after Clan DEU industrialized spawncamping. Just no way they can beat that K:D Ratio even if they went fullbot

Really I think SYR is the reason PAL and HEZ manage to look the least bit competent, because I could not imagine a worse group of full-on retards than the SYR and IRQ teams. IRQ couldn't even beat Team Ayatollah when the Soviet and US devs were BOTH dumping cash and tanks to them AND looking away when they used the gas cheats.

Dude, I know you're a big Mac fan and all, just because Clan IDF went with Windows doesn't mean their servers are incompatible for Mac players. Mac players just have to register with the "Games for Windows" system and enter their product key and bam! They can use the same servers as Clan IDF.

If y'all want to change course and turn this into a "serious" I/P thread, there's looking to be an Intifada in Jerusalem as well as elsewhere.

In less serious news, Miri Regev, notorious right-wing populist, is angry that an Arab Member of Knesset wore a kuffieh. That's basically like some white Republican rear end in a top hat being upset that an African-American congressman was making a speech with a dashiki. (Which probably won't happen in the US because Congress is boring as gently caress).

TBF They've pretty much openly admitted they're just playing for the shooty bits and they've ignored a whole bunch of other clans trying to reign them in. Is it even surprising that they have no interest in the diplomacy mode?

IDF admitted that the two teenagers who were murdered in Bitunia about a month before Brothers Keeper were indeed murdered by IDF soldiers firing live munitions into the crowd, there are even some rumors that the soldier who murdered them might even face criminal charges, so like Yossi Gurvitz wrote "Huh, I guess he might be a druze", though tbqh this probably won't happen.

Nah, faction questline like Endless Legend has. Those two bicker about that stuff, but meanwhile Argentina's quests are all about taking The Falklands whilst the Korean factions have mutually hostile reunification quests.

As an aside there's pretty good design in that last one actually, it's similar to the old East/West Germany factions, but there are really complex alliances in play and several potential modes for achieving unification. You can just go and conquer them, but that is really costly to your own country and can even kick off the Global Thermonuclear War event chain(!), but you can also try spies, coups, and even cultural spam. Weird thing with that last one though, North Korea has really intense internal cultural generation and protection against influences, whilst South Korea is way better at spreading things overseas thanks to stuff like their K-Pop UU and Girl's Generation Hero Unit, so they sort of end up cancelling each other out. Probably some grog has figured out how to properly use their cultural strengths, but I usually go for espionage for that quest chain.
