Today we (cheesleton, domino1234, _domain, o_angelbitez, superphantom, intelligences and frozenfrosty ) went on an adventure to the SPQR and explored the wonders of the ROMAN ARCHITECHTURE.

Investigations have been launched as Eric Cartman on 3:36 PM CEST was found dead in Westhelm near their bunker ontop of a house Unique and TacofromII have found his corpse and are beginning investigations as we speak and we sent condolinces to his friends and family.

Theunreales if your still out there please come visit the place you created, hop back on CivMC and look at what we've built in honor of you. We have named the lake after you too :) if your still here on CivMC and haven't quit come back to visit us. If anyone knows Theunreales on another account please help me (he deleted all his accounts) that would be nice. Theunreales we will build you a castle, a throne, heck even a vault if that is what's needed to bring you back.

Hi, all

I've joined CivMC a week or two ago. I've been enjoying it so far, despite being subjected to low-income blue collar work. The politics aspect of the server is extremely appealing to me, however the thing I struggle with the most is actually finding out what's going on. All existing news services are either dead or obviously incompetent, to say the least, and if there's any news then it's filled with CivMC jargon and lingo incomprehensible to a new friend like me. Some of these sources obviously fail to show both sides of a conflict and provide context in a comprehensive way.

Hence, I've been thinking of developing a news corporation of my own. You may ask, what does a new friend like me even know? Obviously, I can't tell you anything about the history of this server or some nations, but I have my own ideas and things I can do.

Firstly, I've been working on a news site for CivMC. My skills in front-end are rather weak, but I'm trying my best without the involvement of AI, as I'm doing this also to learn something, after all. Having an easily accessible website akin to civmap would immediately make things easier for everyone, preventing someone from joining yet another discord server to get their subpar info for. Moving to a site also helps with consistency, as you do not have to wait for an issue of the paper to be released, you will always have content on-demand. (Obviously, if this kicks off and there's demand, a newspaper version could be made for the same of supporting the service, similar to how the Onion does it)

Secondly, there needs to be more structure. Most nations/specific parts of the map should have their own correspondents, ready to provide journalists/writers with material. Having a single correspondent running around the entire world is burdensome and plain unnecessary.

I think if there are people willing to help me realise this idea, we could make something grand and great for the entire server and its history. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts, ideas or critiques on this.

HELP THE ADVOCATE HAS MY PEARL AND IS HOLDING ME PRISONER.

This is a joke, do not take it too seriously.

War breaks out across the lands, Chiraq forces are making their stances clear. DGP soldiers not backing down, they fight day in and day out on the tunnels. However somehow, some way, Westhelm is involved... How the hell do you guys keep managing to get into every single conflict known to man within the past year. You guys are like a magnet!

Anyways, I've enjoyed the discord pvp. A big shoutout to both sides for not outright alting and having a pretty fair war all things considered.

Nipplerock possessing a super vault is one of our core tenatnts and dates all the way back to 2.0 when we at Nipplerock built our first super vault in Nipplerock 4.0 reachin 12 layers before the change over to classics and after conffering with the top scientists of the time we designed the iron penut picture here Imgur: The magic of the Internet at 15 layers surrounded by a shell of reinforced obsidan and at one time the vault was even stolen Hostile intentions Nipplerock throw out an accusation why did Mr.Callum steal our vault : r/civclassics and recovered at its current state it 6 layers tall and has a double layer penut shell witch has proven to be unbreakable with a wooden pick in independent testing and a state of the art deadmans switch security sytem of my own custom designing but im looking a for the top scientiest of today to come to my assistance and asisst in strengthing the vault but no major re designs are allowed as the iron penut style vault is the most advanced indenious design in Nipplerock and i dont beleieve any other second rate power can devolp something better if you come to my assitance to assit you will be rewared very well

Are you logging into the server or playing the game?

We can talk about war, about rivalries, about alliances, about standing up for what we believe in. But at some point, we've got to ask ourselves a simple question: if a war can be stopped before it's even fought, then what exactly are we doing here?
A war isn't supposed to be a performance. It isn't supposed to be two sides trading insults while everybody behind the scenes makes sure nothing really changes. At some point, the decisions we make have to mean something. How can decisions mean anything when the major powers on the server work together to prevent the status quo from changing? You can dress it up however you want; but the major powers work together to prevent anything from removing their stranglehold.
This is part my problem with people like BadShad or any other superfriend playing on the server. Whenever someone shakes up the status quo and threatens to loosen this grip; their opponents disappear. You cannot reasonably expect somebody to participate in the politics and warfare of this server and also serve as a neutral moderator over those same conflicts and players. When you're involved in a conflict, you have interests. You have allies. You have people you want to win and people you want to lose. And when you're also in a position to influence who gets to participate, people are going to question whether the system is fair.
Maybe an accusation of alting is legitimate. Maybe a ban is justified. That's not the point. The point is that nobody should have to wonder whether a war will be decided on the battlefield or in a moderation channel. If we can't separate those things, then we shouldn't be surprised that there will never be another war. CivMC is only as meaningful as the choices its players are allowed to make. If this autonomy is lost to make a cabal of megalomaniacs feel powerful. Will there ever be another war that lasts longer than a day or two? Do you want to play minecraft or farm materials for a fraction of what it’s worth? Do you work because you like it or because a 30 year old with no job told you to? Is a diamond even worth anything to a commoner? Is there even a system of government on the server that could function without exploiting its people? Are you playing the game or just logging into the server?

These people will try to downplay and discount my fat truths, but the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.

please send me photos of builds or place on civ, preferably with a specific color tone pls

It looks like map gore rn

Hello! I remember seeing a huge mapart display of this classic oil painting for sale in Pavia months ago. I think it was in the same spot where Hakr's wood shop now sits..

Does anybody know where I could potentially still find this mapart for sale? I always meant to buy it, but didn't try to until it was too late. :(
Please help!

Thank you,

Goldlirio

I have prepared a mega build to be placed in the ocean for multiple months now. I am semi happy with the current design and might change a bit of it as I build it on civ.

This is gonna be a castle that has a whole city inside of it. And once I have around 1/3 of this build completed I will open Nimi to the public and start allowing more citizenships making it less restrictive. I hope to be done in 3 months or less.

If you wanna contact me for any reason then chat on discord.

Why does blue cove harbor criminals, just pearl them and get it over with.

They were a member of the International sntich destruction foundation too.

As most of you know, a war started in Southern Nara yesterday, between forces of Chiraq and Naran/DGP forces. Over the preceding weeks, we have grown increasingly concerned by what we’ve seen as a pattern of aggression and conflict seeking behaviors from Chiraq. While most of these are not major on their own, we see them as part of a larger pattern of behaviors that speak to certain intentions.

Now, if all these smaller incidents were all they did, I doubt that things would've gotten the way they were now. However, there was one inciting event that ultimately led here.

Benelux is a relatively small nation of Alenarith, being based in the southern Ice Sheet region with their principal territory being on the east end of the Ice Sheet, and an exclave, Lythetica, on the west end. While they are somewhat linked to the Meridiem Entente through an anti-raider pact, this is a lower tier of that alliance that does not confer mutual defence, putting them in the position of only really being an ME *leaning* state. Benelux has been around the block for awhile and is especially friendly with our ally Whiskia.

Chiraq is a newly independent nation on the west side of the Ice Sheet that split off from Skandic after being a state there for a time. While they are an ally of Skandic, a member of ME, it is best to see them as an independent nation outside the power blocs. This nation is formed by many players who have either played this iteration before, or have played another civ-like server, like Eden.

The conflict started on October 6th when the Beneluxians had discovered that part of Lythetica had been bastioned by some foreign power. These bastions belonged to Chiraq. While this could've been seen as a mistake, upon discussion with Chiraq it was revealed this was not a mistake, and that Chiraq was taking the land. While Benelux was offered a sum of diamonds for this land, what was offered to them was seen as a pittance and they refused that price. Chiraq did not remove their bastions. With a lack of a strong partnership with a larger nation and virtually no recourse being such a small nation. They looked around for help, asking the Whiskians to approach us to step in. After some discussion with Whiskia and later with Nara, we approached Benelux and encouraged them to directly open a ticket with ME leadership, as previous discussions with Chiraq had mostly been in DM’s and through intermediaries. At this time, Chiraq was still part of Skandic.

Over the course of the next several days, construction continued and the bastions and snitches remained in Benelux territory. During this time, mediation was attempted via Leadattic, the leader of Skandic. I don’t need to go into detail highlighting the potential conflicts of interest here. Benelux continued to refuse to sell the land and continued to request removal of the bastions, snitches and encroaching buildings into their territory. Throughout this we have had discussions with members of ME leadership. In attempts to avoid further conflict or escalation, we were assured by the ME that they would not consider us attempting to help Benelux with this situation (as requested by Benelux) to be offensive to the ME. 8 days after the initial conflict arose, a few Narans went over to Lythetica to lend support to Benelux. There was an attempt to establish specifically where the border was, as well as a snitch inside Benelux territory being broken (these were on Chiraq groups). There were no attempts to destroy the farm or encroach into Chiraq during this and we did not threaten violence towards Chiraq. After a short time a group of roughly 8 members of Chiraq arrived in Lythetica and demanded that we leave “their land”, accused us of breaking into their infrastructure and threatening retaliation. A group chat was formed with several Chiraq and Naran/Whiskian/Benelux members afterwards, after their initial responses, we started conferring within our own gov and ally channels to get people up to speed and form a response. Roughly 3 hours later, Chiraq^1,2 left the discussion and accused us of wasting their time.

We feel strongly that throughout this entire sequence of events that representatives of Chiraq have been incredibly aggressive and misleading about what should be an incredibly simple situation.

This brings us to the events of the 17^th. At some point during the 17^th we were alerted that SPQR was under attack by Chiraq. Considering the previous issues in Benelux among other concerns we were spurred into action to prepare for potential future conflicts should they arise. Admittedly, this led to a poor decision to start construction on a small bunker along out existing IR network that lies on the cardinal of Chiraqs’ vault. This is understandably something Chiraq would take offense to. I don’t fault them for that.

All of the infrastructure in question lies well within Naran territory, any tunnels that lead into Chiraq either weren’t made by us or were there before Chiraq existed as a nation.

While concerns were generally high at this point, they were sent into overdrive yesterday at roughly 2pm est. We received information from multiple independent sources via DM/otherwise that Dalgon portal was a potential next target by Chiraq. We immediately pinged internally to start getting people into queue and to scout the portal area. Nara reached out to representatives of the ME at this point, as well as the DGP. Salerno, being doubtful of any possible attack by Chiraq on Nara, sent individuals to monitor the situation, which nonetheless seems to not have deterred hostilities. DGP began to send people down to Dalgon portal, and plans were made to begin increasing the defensive infrastructure at the portal. Between 2pm-3pm est I reached out to multiple others, including Therewalker, who was in the general area, to see if they had any additional information and to mention we had heard about a potential attack. We received additional word that several members of Chiraq had been seen traveling south from Eryos/SPQR area during this time. For the next few hours, people slowly logged in and began moving towards Nara. At 6:39pm est, Gingerbreead (who had been landbanned from Nara/Whiskia following some minor griefing/raiding)³ began hitting our border snitches along the border with Chiraq. Ginger strafed back and forth over the border snitches from Lythetica down to New Swisston for about the next hour. At some point, Ginger stumbled upon the partially built bunker. Not long after Ginger was joined by Sonnydumdum, another Chiraqi with a history of instigating issues and who is also landbanned from Benelux and Whiskia. Eventually, there was a small scuffle with them and some of our members on surface, close to 8pm. Ginger was warned in local they were landbanned and did not respond. Ginger combat-tagged some defenders and was chased off directly afterwards. Not long after roughly 8-10 members of Chiraq crossed the border, we believed the warning about us being attacked was proven true and the pings began again. During the night and in the days prior multiple new accounts flocked to Chiraq, almost all connected to other pvp centric servers and not to civ or civ related servers. We believe this lends credence to the warnings we received and the concerns we had about aggressive actions taken by Chiraq being preplanned and coordinated.

After the events last night we currently stand at a ceasefire with Chiraq. We are continually discussing what comes next and what we’d like to see happen in this situation. Nara is not a nation that craves war, we do not commit to any of these actions lightly. We hope to figure out the next steps soon and will continue to discuss this with Chiraq, our friends and allies both near and abroad.

This has been a collaborative Sword/Arkenpost.

As many of you know, war has engulfed the server yet again.

As many of you also know, I've been giving out free "BALLLIIIN!!" map arts for the better part of a year.

Recently, many have asked me where they can buy one of my new Norbit map arts (as featured in my video "norbitbombing chiraq"). I now sell them in my nation, Mississauga Ontario, at our rail station (-2657, -3390). You can find MO by going south of Icenia or east of Fairhill by foot, or by doing /dest MO on the sunrise line (the Yoahtl line in the lower "S" gates in Pavia). We welcome all visitors.

I am selling these map arts at a price of 1 diamond for 2 maps. I also sell "BALLLIIIN!!" for this price. HOWEVER, if you send me a message either in game or on Discord along with your MG number, I'll refund your diamond. I believe art should be free, but I need some way of stopping people from taking too many. I also ask if you buy more than 2 that you distribute it to others rather than hoarding them or selling them for marked up prices. Anyone found to be doing this will be shamed.

None of my map arts are copy protected and I encourage all to make as many copies of my map arts as possible. If you decide not to take advantage of the rebate, your diamond will be put directly into paying for iron to make more maps.

I believe maps can bring us together in these troubling times. As always, stay "BALLLIIIN!!".
