I am now at 1999.99 infra level.

By the way, I change my alliance from TPF to The Christian Coalition of Countries. It is more neutral, get involved with less wars, has less treaties to uphold, has an easier quit policy, does not require me to be so active and well, is a place where I can encourage and meet people of the same faith as myself.

Anyway, I just want to ask: How much money do I need to save up to break the 1999.99 infra jump.

Thanks, your help is deeply appreciated.

Also, I will like to buy tech from non-Singaporeans. Where can I go to buy more tech? Thanks for all your help.

P/S: Oh yes, I am still paying cybernations, just not so active as before. I have real life commitment. I am graduating from my university soon and moving on to the 'real' world.

GPA members, I think the alliances are ganging up to go on a war with you. Just speculation.

I am out of TPF for the moment.
I want to concentrate on my study, and place less time on playing CN.

For now, I am in The Christian Coalition of Countries.
Not a very active alliance, just here for protection only.

I hope to learn war tactics when nation is new, so if people attack me, they will not win, ma.

Except to kill rogues?

How often does that happen... the chance to kill rogue?

I may consider joining GPA one day. If my school works get too heavy. The GW4 had turned my 5 minutes game to a 5 hours game. Must sent letters to squad members. Keep track of who is in the wars and who is not, who are the enemies and allies, and what direction my alliance is taking.

How much to save for 999.99 infra jump?

TPF had surrendered to the allies in the Unjust Wars.

Something OOC apparently occured.

(Just when my NpO nations are like sitting ducks for me to ... er... practise on.)

Outcome of the war:

Infra level before the war: 999.99
Infra level after the war: 999.99 (The NpO nations I attacked donated money to help me rebuild my infra.)

Tech before wars:30
Tech after wars: 120.69 (The NpO nations I attacked donated money to help me buy tech, or donated their tech to me. I needed to have the tech to have military advantages over my opponents in the wars.)

Nations ZIed: 0 (Too merciful, allowed one NpO nation to offer peace.)
Nations Anarchied: 3 (For this war)

Honest opinion: Frankly, I think I will be ZIed IF this war went on, because we were outnumbered GREATLY. So, personally, I am glad that they end at... well my most high point. Before I actually lost too much infra, money, tech or stuffs...

My life after the wars:
Will sell off 100 of my tech acquired, since I don't need tech in peace time and will do tech-trading again.

Will hopefully receiving my 500k war aid, and 500k infra aid from TPF, and hopefully FINALLY passed my 999.99 infra.

WILL kill off my soldiers by declaring on an inactive none member, or gave my soldiers away for free since my soldiers and aircrafts are... er... way too much for me, now, and the bills for them, are ... er... not quite low.

sorry, we only allow peace after reparation has been made.
nobody mess with GPA n get away with it clean.

A officer of my alliance ask me to ask your diplomat to contact her about the reps and stuffs.

rach86, ask your diplomat to pm her to talk about it. Anyway, she will also be contacting your diplomats about this.

Can you send your diplomats' names to me, so I can send their names to rach86, or contact them for me to contact rach 86.

This is an actual member of TPF. We are considering whether to make him pay reps or expel him.

TPFers are not allowed to tech-raid alliances of more than 20 members.

Secondly, is the GPA nation he is attacking an actual member or a ghost?

Then, perhaps, your diplomats will like to talk with my diplomat about it?

Hi, Kenashi. That guy is one of our members! Do not attack him. I will ask him to peace out ASAP. If he still attacks, PM me in cybernations.net, as I don’t check sgforums.com often.

I am not sure.
Check with the higher officer of my alliance.
Should be a rogue. Should be.
We are not allowed to attack GPA, especially not during GW4.
Ask your diplomats to go to http://www.phoenix-federation.net/ and enquired about it.

The grass is not green, but yellow.

Faces after faces of living skeletons in filthy rags staggered aimlessly towards nowhere in particular. A long haired living skeleton threw a tiny half-alive skeleton away from itself.

“Don’t leave me, mama!” The young half-dead whimpered, not with its voice, but its eyes.

The long haired skeleton walked on, joining the faces after faces of skeletons in filthy rags in their journey to nowhere. The young half-dead tried to force its tiny legs to stand, but it crumpled to the ground. Its skeleton legs were incapable of supporting it.

“Don’t leave me, mama. Don’t leave me!” It screamed, wordlessly.

“Shu Zhen, are you with us?” The voice of her church friend, Mei Zhen brought the 22 year old young woman back to the real world.

“Er… yes,” Shu Zhen stammered.

“Sigh, you are daydreaming, again, aren’t you?” Xiao Hui, another of her friends from church, sighed.

“Well, er, not really…” Shu Zhen replied. Her friends took no notice of her.

“The food here really sucked,” Mei Zhen commented. Her not-so-thin hand, with the use of a knife, cut out another large portion of meat from one of the several dishes before her.

“I don’t think we can finish… the food,” Shu Zhen said. “Besides, we are quite fortunate to have something to eat.”

“Fortunate? The food is not free. We paid for them, you know. With our money. Our hard-earned money.” Xiao Hui stated her opinion, aggressively. She paused for a moment to help herself to some sliced pieces of beef on her plate. “The government, with the 2% tax increase, really robs us of our livelihood. We will starve to death, I tell you, starve to death!”

Shu Zhen shuddered. She thought of the skeletons she saw in her vision. “What about the Ethiopians who are currently suffering from a famine? Aren’t we more fortunate than them?”

“We can’t really compare ourselves with them. They are used to it.” Xiao Mei replied.

“Well, still, maybe we can do something to help them,” Shu Zhen suggested, timidly.

“Don’t be silly, Shu Zhen. There is nothing we can do to help them. Only those God has called to be missionaries are given the abilities to help these destitute people.” Mei Zhen said.

Why are you so sure that God is not calling us to be the missionaries, Shu Zhen wondered aloud to herself. She was too fearful to express her insignificant voice.

The cramped seat in the plane afforded her plenty of time to reflect on the words of her parents.

“You are kind to the world, but cruel to your own parents!” Her mother had expressed in disappointment.

“We brought you up, gave you a good education, and now you… sigh… it is your choice.” Her father sighed.

Shu Zhen thought about her bungalow that she had resided in since she was a child. She thought of the eight maids that her busy parents had hired to look to her needs. She thought of the never-ending-supply of food that her house had never failed to provide her. She thought of the income that was the envy of her friends, which she received as a manager of her father’s company.

Fear crept into her heart and mocked her. You are a sheltered pot. You won’t be able to deal with the hardships there. What a foolish decision this is. Fear’s voice was loud. Shu Zhen was too timid to combat Fear.

The grass is not green, but yellow. The young half-dead was lying alone, counting the seconds before blackness engulfed it. Its eyes would soon fail it like the way its legs and voice did. In the midst of darkness, it saw a figure of light walking closer and closer towards it.

“I am Jesus.” The figure of light whispered to the child. The child smiled when he saw the bread in the hands of the figure of light. The blackness would not engulf him, after all. The child lied comfortably in the laps of Jesus. “I will be your mama.” The voice of Shu Zhen said, lovingly.

Boldness delivered a crushing blow to Fear, and Fear was defeated. Shu Zhen held tightly to the vision in her mind, and found to her surprise she was not afraid anymore.

It is unavoidable. The nations available for trading had gone down.
This is the best time to sell tech for uninvolved nation.

Due to the ongoing war all my trade and tech deals have to standstill.. So its not like we cant feel the fire

But at least you can build from 999.99 infra after the war.
But for me, who knows how much infra I will have left, when the war is over.
But then, I will gain more war experience, I think.

I am from the phoenix federation.

http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/The_Unjust_War

For those of you who want to know what is going on.

And I am now attacking a NpO. Yup, TPF had come in, too.
You neutral menaces(From CN term), sit back and watch us in fire.

My nation is at 999.99 infra, ah, I cannot cross the 1k mark now.
Glory to TPF, and WUT and may IRON and NpO fall.

Great Wars 4 may be coming soon. Check wars across the globe in cybernations. Iron and NpO are attacking Gemmay and GOONS.

Sorry for late reply, had not been visiting Sgforums.com for a long time. School started, and I am busy.

Hope you manage to get whatever issues you need to contact my alliance so urgently for, resolved.

I dont buy infra normally, but i sitting on 7m of cash
if i dont spend it, it will get looted
stuck with either getting looted or getting demolished.

7m? Consider trying to buy donations from someone.
Will build your nation, faster, perhaps?

but i didn't get much in return

War is like that, lah.
That's why I never buy infra when kena attacked.
Rebuilding, now, though.
Almost back to where I was, thanks to tech trade.
