Basing my country on Rhodesia, but thinking it would be better as a Mediterranean country such as Cyprus.
I made the former colony of Kestyria. A country born from a civil war after being released as a British colony.
Let's hope this doesn't go the same way BLOC did, aka filled with exploits and bugs

It's gone pretty well considering. Today has been our largest growth of players, a lot of valuable feedback has been given.
This seems creepily like BLOC.
[QUOTE=VOSK;43018966]This seems creepily like BLOC.[/QUOTE]
It was created shortly after BLOC went down. I wanted to create a similar game with rumsod being absent. Now that he's back I'm trying to move the game farther from that.
Signed up for it, looks good.
I'll stick to this, see what happens. Not sure if I want to return to BLOC after what happened then.

the only issue I have with it is that it looks so much like BLOC, like everything I can find is the same stuff, except the layout of course.

The Facepunch Alliance
I recreated the great nation of Shaneesh

looking at some of the stuff, it looks like some of it is word-by-word copied over
I think you should change that ASAP, kinda gives off the wrong impression that it is just a copypaste thing entirely

The Democratic Republic of San Relamo is ready to serve the Facepunch Alliance!
Just went into the IRC. How you go about inviting people to Alliances is you go to alliance, then alliance preferences to the left.
Then you go to the persons profile and input their user id.

aww. He reset everything and while he was doing it I spent my money.
New Switzerland is ready to join the Facepunch Alliance.

Used to play BLOC until I forgot my account info + I couldn't seem to make a new password so it was deleted eventually.
RattSplat will we be able up upload our own custom flags eventually?
I'm upset Tito isn't a leader portrait.

It's-a-me!
Also can anyone tell me what the hell happened to Bloc?
I propose a mutual agreement of nonaggression and friendship between the British Commonwealth bloc and the Facepunch Alliance.

Nice flag you got there
Was there a reset or something? Just noticed that I lost 10k troops and all the training. Also lost all the GDP I built up.
Also, looking to re-join IFAP.

I understand people are mad about what happened to BLOC. I went through some rough personal stuff right when the game needed me, and I could have done a lot of things better at the time. I've tried to bring it back and fix it to the best of my ability, and I hope I never have to go through what made me go inactive previously again. That said I get that a lot of people don't want to play it because of what happened, and that's fine.
But honestly, making an EXACT copy of it, down to every mechanic is kinda in bad taste. Having stuff up mocking the game (and its players) you cribbed every element from is weird. BLOC was clearly inspired by other browser games like nationstates, but I didn't set out to copy them wholesale.
I mean, looking at the devlog, the game was called "<BLOC" several days ago?
The [url=http://at.fridayplay.net/user.php?uid=193] New Deutsch Order
[/url] has been formed and is really to join the facepunch alliance.

Well Rummy, if it makes you feel better, then just know that players like me rightfully assumed you were gone because of personal reasons and patiently waited for things to reboot.
Really the reason people were/are mad at you isn't entirely based on how long you were gone, it was refusing free help then leaving without the warnin-you know the rest. Meanwhile, people like me were laughed at for claiming you'd figure out things and get your stuff back on track. As for Attrition, it's pretty much made as a clone of BLOC because they were hoping to go back to the good old days, where the features were minimal but solid. Speaking of which, the fact that some people believe the game got worse as updates happened is probably where the rest of the soreness came from.
If I were you, I'd just let this game rock and roll until I got my game fixed. You can't say it's a bad thing that your game was so good that people tried to directly imitate it.
I like Attrition more than BLOC imo, it's much simpler and going away for a week doesn't set your nation in a civil war.

If you can't check into something at least once every four days for less than fifteen minutes, you deserve it.

I'm sorry I have other things to do with my time.
[QUOTE=Griffster26;43025511]I'm sorry I have other things to do with my time.[/QUOTE]
Exactly my point! I also have things to do, what I'm saying is that despite all of that work it isn't unreasonable to question why out of half a week you can't casually check something on your phone or computer.
Unless you have ridiculous work weeks or really deep work to do in school, I can't see how less than ten to fifteen minutes seems to be asking too much.
People must already be cheating. Some people already have billions of GDP.
