no doug.

I did not make the PDM tag Paradim intentionally. it was a legitimate typo.

I originally had no intent of any of this happening.

Leto and I did not plan anything.

You pushed me to breaking point, and I walked.

I have told all PDM members they are welcome in the Paradigm tag.

Further, that we will not launch any hostile actions on those who choose to remain PDM.

We will not ask any alliances who have signed pacts with PDM to break those pacts, as that would be bad faith, and we do not operate that way.

oh man, cathankins, your twists of logic are hilarious.

you suicided on evo and got killed and blame superfly, someone who has nothing to do with evo, for doing so.

then claim "bullying" when evo's pacted allies do what pacted allies do, and come to their aid.

meantime, you attempt to tell Evo that if they don't kill superfly, you'll keep suiciding on them.

Who is actually the bully here?
The person choosing to attack a third party unrelated to the initial issue, in a half assed attempt to try and force them to do the dirty work, or the alliances who are standing up for their friends?

Honestly, the only difference, is that unlike most real life bullies, you're just really bad at it.

You're gonna make yourself look bad bro. I don't tell lies.

You also don't tell the whole truth.
But that's OK, that's what AT is for after all

You also missed the part where you deleted a bunch of your own messages before taking your screenshot, in order to make things appear different to the original context.

I guess your desire to go after someone new since your "win" over milkman (got him deleted for multis in teams, demonstrated he was playing clean in alliance, whilst getting yourself deleted repeatedly) means you're happy to sink to any depth.

There's still a post by leto in your very screenshot tho 🤷‍♂️

It is, as they say, the old paradox of tolerance.

I should have commented on this detail. You are correct Drow. People will always comment but ultimately TFMOIs will prevail and good will triumph over evil.

How long to you think people will engage with some, unless to rake them over the coals, if that person is engaged in racism?

That wouldn’t last long.

Except that TFMOI's don't prevail, nor does good triumph over evil.
we have example after example of this being the case.
If it did, Racism would no longer exist in any form.
nor would sexism.
nor would a massive number of problematic issues, because we would have reasoned them out of existence with TFMOI's (TM).

The reality is that the world simply doesn't work like that, much as we wish it did.

We still have neonazis in the world, who spout the crap Hitler espoused, and hail him as a hero, and people lap it up.
We have politicians who literally blame "dem others (insert chosen ethnic, religious, or other minority group here) " for basically everything, and they get swept into the one place they shouldn't be, power.
Because rational debate etc doesn't work. It requires both parties to be rational.

You slipped up yourself this time dude.
and there's no evidence, even from context, that anything was said, all of those comments could have been reactions to your own initial comment in the screenshot. Especially given that Empyrean is there telling you to calm down.

Sadly, ES is very, very dead.
If memory serves, having been around at the time of its final demise, there was basically a fatal hardware error which caused its end, and the data itself was lost, which was why Commy couldn't get it properly back on line.

You seem like a cool guy, welcome back! I think you might have gotten roped into a situation you didn't agree to though. Check with your leader Leto. He seems to be setting the stage to bully small clans like Stone and Rage, while being aided by the self proclaimed suicides with Josey and co.

Makes sense cause Josey and Leto go way back together in PDM.

It's a shame what they did to pdm, leaving it in shambles.

NA and PDM were besties for a long time. When we were getting gangbanged by SOL's coalition repeatedly, PDM were basically our only allies. So literally everyone in M4D goes way back with PDM.

Now that I think of it, is Pally still around?

Anyhow given the history I've laid out for you, I think you can appreciate that I am happy where I am right now and not willing to make any changes to my POV based on AT threads.

Related, if you don't know about it, find someone to fill you in on the sordid history of RD. Literally every tag is dirty, they infiltrated all of them and cheated inside them.

So bring it, I guess?

VicRattlehead,

JW&CO has no intention of suiciding M4D. Not in the cards. End of story. Nor do we have any pacts with M4D.

That said, there is no reason why M4D shouldn’t cleanse the Server of viruses. With extreme prejudice.

Well that's good to know. Good luck in your fluff stirring then.

They are playing the way the game is intended to be played. And I'm doing what I do.

It's funny you bring up evidence though. Last time someone accused me of not having receipts (Leto) he got kicked out of his alliiance and ended up building a brigade of Multis on Team and then being too scared to war the clans that were kicking his face in every set.

You wonder why I'm calling him out here? It's because he's STILL not admitted to harboring and supporting cheaters, but wants to pretend to be this morally superior clan leader here. I'm glad he wants to war and play the game was intended, I suspect what he really wants to do is pick on weaker/smaller clans though. What do you want to bet that these guys don't pick a fight with anyone the same size as them?

Bullies and cheaters, scared of a fair fight. It's what they do on team, and it's what they'll do here.

Not impressive to me.

Not sure which alliance you are claiming he got kicked out of here...
he certainly wasn't kicked out of Paradigm /shrug

Oh wow, ya'll supported the cheating too? Shoot, Drow. I thought you had kicked him out because you didn't like the cheating/multi'ing that was occurring. It made me respect you a bit....

I'm taking that respect back!

That is all.

If every current player did a five day, $1 per day ad on Facebook, we would get some new players. The trick is getting all of you to spend $5 on a game you're sad is dying still, but you're not willing to spend $5 bucks on ads

12x NW or 1/12 NW for humanitarians, 2x NW or 1/2NW for GDI.
That's how it works, that's how it's always worked.

R.I.P. Earth Empires

We are where we are because this a 30yo text based browser game which has had minimal advertising for decades, and because people have gotten actual lives, and moved away from the game. I was here when Paradigm for example, was over 100 members strong. Irc bots for news feeds were a thing, so were clan hosting websites with various calculators (so basically all the modern tools or the beginnings of). Difference is, we were virtually all teenagers or in our early 20's way back then, and had the time to be able to dedicate to the game.
The core game rules were still the same, and the politicking and whatnot was also 1000% there.
It's not "oh no how dare there be an arbitrary 12x / 1/12 limit on attacks putting people off the game".

Forgive me, but I don't see how not needing the password to join a clan encourages players to play?
The whole point of the tag/pass is that players then go and get involved in the community of the clan they choose to join.

Perhaps have a link on the login page, or in the clans window, with wayhs to join a clan,a nd how to get in contact with a clan to join etc?
