A whipping boy would be a good idea, so long as it doesn't risk getting us all banned.
I'm pretty sure we can't do that. You can already get banned for abusing the war mechanic, so it'd be a bad idea to abuse it for reputation. Don't do it.
Huh, would declaring war on an inactive of the opposite bloc (to do nothing but ask for aid from your bloc) count as that? I don't see rumsod on the chat to ask... I guess I'll just destroy them to be safe.
It isn't. I just know that he doesn't like two active players agreeing to a result in a war beforehand. The original case is via declaring war on someone, so no one else can attack them and never doing any real damage. Abusing it for reputation is very similar to this, and I doubt he'd want people to do it.
Also, speaking of interesting events, I've had a recent proposition from one of the leaders of the African Union.
From Jenkins
Hey, Corporal Ross of FLAP and I are working to make an international organization that will increase cooperation and communication among alliances to help the forum atmosphere. I'd like it if you could join us in creating the charter, since you're relevant group in Africa. We'll be forming the charter in IRC this weekend, probably the 21st. If you could let me know what time is good for you, that'd be great.
Now, if you are unaware, FLAP is essentially the group propped up by the Goons and Facepunch alliances (Primarily the Facepunch alliance, from the looks of it) as a way for public players to still fight with them (Since the GGU and IFAP are restricted to people who go on their forums.) There have been attempts to form international coalitions before, similar to the U.N, but they haven't panned out.
As the Supreme Leader of The U.B.A., I ask for your opinion. Do we accept, and send ambassadors (Me, maybe some other trustworthy people) to this IRC meeting to hash out a charter? I am unaware of the other nations choosing to partake in it, but I'm sure all of the big groups in the entire game will be there. This is a pretty big event if enough interest is gathered, and we can properly make a name for ourselves in the grand scheme of things.
What I'm worried about though, is the potential presence of the alliances primarily fueled by capitalism. Being the communistic, equality loving alliance we are, it'd be unwise to sign a charter that'd benefit them. So, what do you guys think?
