Working on setting the permission masks up right in the new forum. If you can't see much, it means I haven't upgraded your board status to OCA Member there.
Nice work, supremespleen. I'd recommend revamping the initial post in this thread. You can remove the roster (the Roll Call thread at headquarters and the OCR Member group list should take care of that) and provide a link to the official headquarters forum as well. We should also provide a link to the charter in the first post (which should get its own locked announcement thread in the Information Desk forum (its okay that it hasn't been finalized yet)). Potential members should still apply to join the alliance in this thread.

Was about to suggest the same thing. What's the deal with the roll call thread? Will that be public or private to OCA members?

[supremespleen]

Working on fixing the skin and all that. I may not be around though, cos it's my younger brother's birthday today.

Going to do all that was suggested this evening probably, as well as 'borrow' OCR's buttons to use for our board.

Going to talk to Smoke to see if it is alright that I use OCR graphics since it is an OCR Clan.

[Antelucan]

What's the deal with the roll call thread? Will that be public or private to OCA members?
I think the roll call thread is a good idea. It serves as an organized private directory of ONLY members of the alliance. It's easier than updating an enormous list every time someone joins.

Oh, absolutely, I agree with the thread, I was just wondering whether or not it'll be a public or a private thread [Whether or not it'll be shown to OCA members or the public].

I see what you mean.


I may work on sprucing up our charter draft today. I have a question for everyone, though. Would you prefer a more parliamentary system, with a prime minister, an internal affairs minister, a foreign affairs minister, and a defense minister (the names of the positions can change, I am just illustrating the basic structural concept), or would you prefer the war council/alliance council scenario Falchion proposed? It just seems the NPO system may be too robust for a small alliance like us.

[supremespleen]

Maybe a simplified Parliamentary.

[Mi'kile]

Peace has returned once again to the lands of Rubberduck. Thanks for the help everyone.

[MaxFrost]

hrmp...I'm still at war myself, but I have a feeling the guy isn't going to attack anytime soon...so i'm just going to wait it out.

[Antelucan]

I'm working on a new charter draft right now, but I need to know how often you guys would prefer we hold elections.

Also, for your information, I'm basing the government structure of OCA on that of the Legion. It's looking pretty nice.

[Nec5]

I'm working on a new charter draft right now, but I need to know how often you guys would prefer we hold elections.Once a month?
Anything less than that would be tedious. If you go too long without an election, the alliance may not feel quite as connected. I guess two months could work as well.

When you first asked the question, I immediately thought of six months. However, I reconsidered because we need to be active somewhat routinely to create a vibrant group.

So, two months?

[bones_221]

Yeah, two to three months sounds good. That way, the elections are regular enough that no one forgets that they're coming (I forget every elections year! :wink:) but they're spaced far enough apart that they seem like they're actually important.

Do we want to write in any term limitations, i.e. limits on how many terms in a row one nation can hold a specific office? I propose -- depending on how long we decide a term is -- six months.

And I nominate (or second the nomination, rather) supremespleen for our...president? PM? Whatever we decide.

Man, creating a nation and alliance is hard. Now I know how Thomas Jefferson felt. (Just kidding. *Chuckles* I know Thomas Jefferson didn't have the internet.)

[kitty]

I've only played this game for about 4 months and the NPO has council elections every month and I forget about them every time. But that's just me. >_> I feel bad because you guys are getting noobed by stupid people who want to have war and I can't just send you about 20k to wipe them off the face of the planet. Of course I've had 8 soldiers kill 1020 soldiers and 37 tanks before and then stole 5 miles of land and 3 tech and destroyed 20 infrastructure on top of that. So overpowering them with soldiers isn't always a good idea. =D

EDIT: Misc. grammar fixes.

EDIT2: By the way, I signed up on the IF forums under the name, Silhouette, to match my ruler name.

[supremespleen]

I appreciate and accept the nomination.

I've also created a user group for representatives from other nations that does not allow them to see the war room.

However, since Falchion is an OCR member and has helped as along I lot, I agree that F. deserves honorary membership.

[Antelucan]

Should the chief officer be called "president," "prime minister," "premier," "chancellor," or something else? Right now it says "premier."

[Nec5]

If we go premier, we can all use Russian flags.

[bones_221]

I propose we go wacky with the titles. The head of the government, for example, could be "Head Chef," and the different councils could be Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, or meals or something. That way, we could totally talk in code!

[Antelucan]

Took me all afternoon, but here it is. Suggestions, compliments, and criticisms are welcome. In order to ratify this thing, we need 2/3 of our current members to vote in favor.

Charter of the OverClocked Alliance
Based, in part, upon the Official Charter of the Legion

I. Preamble

This charter is henceforth created to protect the rights and freedoms of the nations of the OverClocked Alliance (OCA). We establish herein the rights of member nations and the internal organization of the OCA. We do this in order to ensure the prosperity of all members and the general welfare of the alliance as a whole.

II. Membership

To gain admission into the alliance, nations must apply in the Cyber Nations thread at www.ocremix.org. Applications must include nation name, ruler name, resources, and team color. Membership shall be granted to applicants by a Directorate officer in short order. Member nations are encouraged, but not required, to join the Orange Team, the official team of the alliance. Membership in the OCA normally precludes membership in all other alliances.

Member nations, by virtue of their membership, are bound by the precepts set forth in this charter. Any member found in violation may be subject to disciplinary action. Members may be expelled at the recommendation of the Premier by a Parliamentary Directive. Members wishing to secede from the OCA must submit a letter of intent to the Premier.

III. Structure

The internal structure of the OCA shall consist of a Directorate and a Parliament. The Directorate shall be the executive wing of the alliance and the Parliament shall be the legislative wing. The Directorate shall consist of a Premier, a Foreign Relations Director, an Internal Affairs Director, and a Defense Director, all elected offices.

The Premier shall act as chief executive for the alliance. The Premier’s responsibilities shall include determining and delegating Directorate priorities and foreign policy, representing the OCA in international affairs, deciding on disciplinary procedures, and coordinating Directorate operation.

The Director of Foreign Relations shall be responsible for acting as an ambassador or deploying one or more ambassadors to other alliances, coordinating relations with all foreign nations, negotiating treaties, and assessing potential threats.

The Director of Defense shall be responsible for the security of member nations, supervision of OCA wars, advising the Premier on the acquisition and use of nuclear weaponry, and coordinating military assistance between members.

The Director of Internal Affairs shall be responsible for recruiting, background checking, and guiding prospective members of the OCA, assisting the Premier in disciplinary procedures, promoting the mutual support and friendship of member nations, coordinating reconstructive aid efforts, and general election oversight.

The Parliament shall consist of all member nations in good standing. A parliament member may at any time move to introduce new legislation or amend/remove existing legislation, and invite other members to second that motion. A seconded motion shall be brought to plenary vote, and shall become a Parliamentary Directive, binding upon all member nations, upon receiving a simple majority of active members’ votes.

A motion to amend this charter seconded by two Directorate officers shall be brought to plenary vote and shall be implemented upon receiving a 2/3 majority of active members’ votes.

III. Elections

General Directorate elections shall take place on every even month, according to a schedule to be determined by the incumbent Directorate consisting of five (5) days for nominations, two (2) days for campaigning, and two (2) days for voting. The incumbent Director of Internal Affairs shall oversee the election process. During the nomination period, member nations may nominate themselves for up to two (2) offices. All member nations may cast one (1) vote for each office. The candidate with a plurality of votes is the winner and immediately takes office. Should a candidate win the vote for two offices, the candidate must retract its candidacy to the office of its choice, such that the first runner-up to that office becomes the winner to that office. In the event of a tie, a run-off election must be held between the tied candidates.

Directorate officers may be elected for no more than three (3) consecutive terms, where a term is a period of two (2) months in length. There is no limit on the number of terms a Directorate officer may be re-elected.

A motion of no confidence in any Directorate officer may be made in Parliament at any time. The affected officer must immediately step down if the consequent vote of no confidence passes with a simple majority.

In the event of an emergency vacancy in the Directorate, the remaining Directorate officers as a whole shall assume the responsibilities of the vacant office or appoint a provisional replacement until such time as an emergency election is deemed necessary.

IV. War

Peace is encouraged between members of the OCA and all nations of the world. Unprovoked attacks against any friendly nation or any member of a friendly alliance is prohibited.

However, should a member nation be the victim of attack, all OCA members pledge to rally their full military and economic strength in defense of the attacked nation and to aid in reconstruction and war efforts to the extent of their capability.

Should the security of the OCA as a whole ever be in jeopardy, an alliance-wide war may be declared by a Parliamentary Directive.

Drafted 08/01/06 by Cardinal Lustro.

I will post this at headquarters later this evening to initiate the ratification process, pending suggestions from everyone here in the meantime.[/i]

[supremespleen]

That's pretty fantastic. I say we go with that.

[Nec5]

Sounds good. What's the rationale behind term limits of 3 consecutive elections? That equates to six months. I don't really know if term limits are even necessary. Thoughts?

[supremespleen]

Sounds good. What's the rationale behind term limits of 3 consecutive elections? That equates to six months. I don't really know if term limits are even necessary. Thoughts?We don't really need term limits. It isn't like one of us would go crazy with power or anything. Although, it would allow others the chance to be president.

[Antelucan]

The three consecutive term limit was bones_221's proposal. It doesn't prevent someone from being elected to an office for more than three terms, they just cannot do it all in a row. I agree that it is not necessary, however. Should I change it?

I agree that it is not necessary, however. Should I change it?Nah. It just struck me as a little odd. Personally, I don't have a problem with term limits. I just wanted to get a little feedback on that part and see if it hit a nerve. It didn't. Good work. I approve of this charter.

[kitty]

You should clarify in the war part that attacks against friendly alliances that the OCA has an MDP with are not sanctioned. Otherwise it sounds like we will attack any alliance who attacks an alliance who's friendly with us.

[Antelucan]

Peace is encouraged between members of the OCA and all nations of the world. Any unsanctioned and unprovoked attack by a member nation against any nation friendly to the OCA or any member of a friendly alliance is prohibited, where a friendly nation or alliance is one with a genuinely peaceful disposition or with which the OCA has a Mutual Defense Pact (MDP) or Non-Aggression Pact (NAP).

However, should a member nation be the victim of attack, all OCA members pledge to rally their full military and economic strength in defense of the attacked nation and to aid in reconstruction and war efforts to the extent of their capability and as directed by the appropriate Directorate officers.
Is that better, Falchion?

I have clarified the language in this passage in the charter so that it is better understood that it is only a limit on consecutive terms, not overall terms.

Even a NAP doesn't really qualify as something for us to get involved with. So I would just stick to the MDP myself. Although the entire clause is kind of redundant if we state we'll attack you if you attack someone we have an MDP with.

[Antelucan]

This clause prohibits us from attacking these nations without reason, it doesn't obligate us to come to their aid.

[supremespleen]

Just updated all the members that joined the forums.

[Antelucan]

A proposed charter has been posted in the War Room at headquarters (http://z6.invisionfree.com/OCA_Headquarters) for discussion and ratification by members. This proposed charter has been revised in several places from the charter posted to this thread earlier (partly in response to some suggestions).

Now it's time for a little celebratory vacation.

[Olrad]

I was just thinking it might be an idea to set up somewhere to organise our trades. The way the trades work you don’t really want to end any of your current trade agreements without being sure that you can start a new one before the next refresh.
I reckon we could do with either a topic in the lounge of OCR Headquarters or even better set it up separately like the War Room. It would certainly make getting the bonus resources easier.
What do you think?

[RocketSniper]

I'm reallly confused at this point, I just got my people to be happy with the national religion/government (Transitional/judaism... And surprisingly I'm not in the middle-east), but I didn't realize we had a forum...
Bah.

[CE]

This sounds pretty fun. I was wondering if I could join OCA but place my nation in portugal?

Yep. A base of operations. Eventually we'll have a charter and a government structure as well.

This sounds pretty fun. I was wondering if I could join OCA but place my nation in portugal?
That's perfectly fine. There is no location requirement because it really doesn't impact the game other than your nation map.

By the way, I am just north of portugal out in the ocean...

[CE]

What, no latin/portuguese etnicity? :(

[CE]

Alright, I made a nation. The ruler is me, Consciência Etérea, the name's Etéreal and my two trading goods are Gold and Sugar. I'm in Portugal (Lisbon, to be more exact) (Praça do Comerçio, to be even more exact) and in the orange team.


Uhhh... What should I do now?

Uhhh... What should I do now?
In the game: Follow the suggestions of your Private Nation Messages. Pay your bills. Play around with your tax rate until you get maximum profit when you go to collect taxes. Buy enough land to get your Population Per Mile under 70. Buy enough troops until it says your military is of adequate strength for your nation size. Pump whatever you have left into purchasing infrastructure to get your nation growing. Turn off peaceful nation status. Look for orange team trade partners. Read about how the game works here (http://s15.invisionfree.com/Cyber_Nations/index.php?showtopic=3227). Also, put that you are a member of the OCA somewhere in your nation bio (assuming you wish to become a member of our humble alliance).

Out of the game: Register at the OCA headquarters (http://z6.invisionfree.com/OCA_Headquarters). Once supremespleen masks you, you will gain access to the members-only area, where you can help us ratify a charter and organize our alliance. You also may be able to find potential trade partners in the roster thread.

[CE]

I've done all that, but I'm keeping the peaceful nation status for a while.

[MaxFrost]

eh, I thought I was going to do that too, but you'll boost your income and happyness if you drop it. Also, anybody who attacks you at this stage has to deal with all of your buddies ^_^

[CE]

I'll change it in 5 days. I switched it once already :(

[Nec5]

My current cost for 1 level of infrastruture is about $880. If this cost goes up after after every improvment in level, wouldn't I be better served saving money up and then buying a bunch at the current price? It will save me money, yes? Thoughts?

I bring this up because it's getting mighty expensive.

Yes, it is most cost efficient to buy infrastructure in blocks of 10 (the maximum that can be bought en masse).

There is also another advantage to saving up: you accrue interest on taxes for every day you don't collect them. :wink:

[kitty]

:evil: Now you tell me. Or to put it more accurately, now I ask it.
There is also another advantage to saving up: you accrue interest on taxes for every day you don't collect them. :wink:

At this stage it's better to keep buying infrastructure as soon as possible because you're making more money faster. The money lost by buying in chunks less than 10 is offset by the amount of money you make later.

Later on I did what you're thinking of doing now. But since I'm rebuilding after this war, I'm just trying to get more money faster. Besides, my resources reduce the infrastructure cost way low what I'm supposed to be paying. =D

[Antelucan]

There are still several members who have not registered at our HQ forums (http://z6.invisionfree.com/OCA_Headquarters). Effector, MarioRPG, TheWomb, DarkOmenDKA, Methiea, maybe more. We need to complete the ratification of our charter so that we can hold elections! We need a 2/3 majority and right now I think we have about 11/19...

And we are of course always recruiting new members.

[bones_221]

So, I don't know if this counts as cheating or not, but you can jump your taxes up to, like 25% right before you collect taxes, then drop them to happier levels right after, and your happiness goes right back. I've only done it twice, but I've noticed no ill short-term effects. Your thoughts?

[kitty]

Doesn't matter at all. Just keep it at 25% because happiness doesn't give an extra bonus or anything when you're not collecting taxes. So what you're doing is just for looks if you like large happiness but want to collect more.

[bones_221]

Oh, but my happiness is 22. the last rumor I heard was that the highest ever is 24...

[Nec5]

All right gang. I'm nearing the 1000 citizen mark(I'm at 800). For those of you that haven't played around fully yet, getting 1000 citizens allows you to purchase a permanent improvement structure that can never be taken away. All of the improvements are expensive.

The advice scattered around seems to suggest that saving up for the Harbor is the first thing every new nation should attempt. The Harbor provides a modest income boost, but its big draw is an extra trade resource slot. I assume I should gun for this next? It costs a whopping 120K. Ouch. Some of those other improvments look mighty juicy. :D

What are the rest of you thinking?

[kitty]

What are the rest of you thinking?

I'd say that if there's any other improvements that are significantly less expensive but give a large income boost then you might want to go for the first to help pay for the harbor. Of course, it all has to do with which has a higher payout, especially since you can't get another new improvement until 2000 citizens and the fact that you're saving for another improvement will cause your population to stagnate... So yeah, go for the harbor, but don't save up all your money at once - set some aside for infrastructure and whatnot.

[Corporal Eschebone]

Wow, infra gets expensive quick. I've barely passed 50 infra and it's already nearing $1000 per level compared to, what, $500 at the start of the game?

[Antelucan]

Members of the OCA, it gives me great pleasure to announce the ratification of the Official Charter of the OverClocked Alliance!

It is available for public scrutiny at our headquarters (http://z6.invisionfree.com/OCA_Headquarters).

Also, the August 2006 election process has officially begun. More information is available for members at HQ.

[CE]

Awesome, a guy offered me 3000$ in foreign aid if I traded with him. I'll use it to let the taxes on my citizens pile up.

Also, I don't see any nation within 500 miles of my own. The map shows nothing. Anyone have an idea of why this is happening?...

My...rank range?...When you're looking at your main nation page, examine all the links at the top. You'll see Nation Info, Messages, Government, Military, and so on. The last link is Ranking. Click it. Your nation will be highlighted in yellow in the middle of the list. I believe you can declare war with any of the people below and above you. If they are not in this range, then you can't directly attack them.

You can, however, give money to others that can declare war on them (because their nation has a different rank which allows them to target a different group of countries).

[CE]

I see. So, in order for me to attack them, they must be in my ranking list AND within 500 miles of my capital?

[Antelucan]

I see. So, in order for me to attack them, they must be in my ranking list AND within 500 miles of my capital?
Nope. They have to be within 500 miles to appear on your map. You can attack anyone within that ranking list, regardless of location.

There are three very heavy hitting reds all around me.

One of them is someone who is a 5 star threat. I don't think anything is going to happen, but I might end up needing some aid. :?

[Antelucan]

There is less than a day left for the nominations process of the OCA elections for August. Check out HQ (http://z6.invisionfree.com/OCA_Headquarters).

There is a built-in function in the game for tracking members of alliances based on the presence of a keyword listed in their nation bio. Here is our list (http://cybernations.net/stats_ranking_alliances.asp?Alliance=OCA). In order to get on the list, you must place "OCA" somewhere in your nation bio, and it MUST have spaces around it (unless it is at the beginning or end of the bio). For example, you can't put a period directly after "OCA".

Good:

"Proud member of the OCA ."

Bad:

"Proud member of the OCA."

Please make the necessary changes to your nation bio so we have easy access to an in-game list of all members.

Woot! 1000 citizens! It's about time, I know. I'm planning on saving up for a bank unless someone can suggest something else (I'm looking in your direction, falchion...)

EDIT: I also changed my nation's bio so now I show up in the alliance list. Again: woot!

You ought to think about switching over to orange. That way when you trade within the alliance you also get a happiness bonus for your citizens.

The election process is complete. We have our officers:

Premier: supremespleen
Director of Foreign Relations: Cardinal Lustro
Director of Defense: MarioRPG
Director of Internal Affairs: bones_221

May they lead our humble alliance with integrity and honor!

OCA HEADQUARTERS (http://z6.invisionfree.com/OCA_Headquarters)

[bones_221]

As the new Director of Internal Affairs, I must request that all messages pertaining to the security of your individual nations and the alliance as a whole be sent via the OverClocked Alliance Headquarters found here (http://z6.invisionfree.com/OCA_Headquarters). This will help to ensure that any sensitive information regarding the actions and procedures of the OverClocked Alliance will remain within the OCA. Thank you.

[supremespleen]

Hail!

I really need to work up my nations efficiency. We also need to keep this thread bumped.

[CE]

So I wanna... "take over management" of a nearby, smaller nation. After all, OCA must thrive, and for that, we may have to eventually load warm fuzzies into long-range battle cannons.

Where should I go to propose starting a war with a nation? Who's approval do I need?

Anyway, here is my target's info. He is, overall, weaker then me. How do you think his strength of 24.6 wull fare against my own of 25.2? Also, I have 74 soldiers, 37 deployed and 37 defending and a DEFCON level of 2. How should I proceed in winning this hostile takeover? I've never fought before and only recently changed the war/peacetime status.

So, what I'm asking is, how should I proceed?

Long live the OCA!

(BTW, is there a standard greeting/farewell note?)

EDIT: *sigh* nevermind, I got some infra and land and military for Etereal and I guess I out ranked them. They're gone. Anyway, I'd still like to know how to proceed in a situation like this.

[bones_221]

This is the sort of topic that should have it's own thread in the OCA HQ.

[CE]

That was what I was gonna do, but I figured I needed to run things through here to make sure that me posting this in OCA wouldn't trigger war.

Our alliance is not an open one, so we have not actively sought publicity yet. We are still in the process of producing insignia to self-identify.

Yeah... I did the donation thing. I know Falchion said its better to do it later on when tech and infra start to cost a ton, but I decided it was equally helpful to do it at the start of the game because it propels you ahead the equivalent of several days in time. :wink:

Okay, a new system for tracking alliance members has been implemented today. Under "Edit My Nation" there is now an option for "Alliance Affiliation." Go to "Specify Other" and enter "OCA." If you have trouble making this work, try doing it in Internet Explorer instead.

Thank God. The coaLUEtion has been cheating and every member has been putting every alliance that's in their group down in their nation bio, so it appears that the NPO is really weak, when in reality, we're near number 1 again.

That was so wierd I randomly clicked the Hairy Drummer when I was looking at possible trade people and saw he was a member of OCA without even checking here first CRAZY! so anyways I did send himn the trade invite

[TheHairyDrummer]

Trade accepted! :-)

Also, as I just started yesterday, I am very open to financial aid packages from anyone, if you have some extra money just laying around...

[Black Mage]

Wow, I'm finally starting to see other nations on my map. Took long enough.

Unless you've already heard SA made an alliance the "Goon Alliance" :roll: .

Finally I got all my trades in order meaning right now I'm making the bonus resources fine jewlery AND steel not to mention I'll get microchips once I get another 1.5 tech =D I'm ilking the level 23.6 Happiness

[Tsuribachi]

http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=35875

That's my nation. I'm already in the Green Protection Agency.. but if anyone needs help, just drop me a private message on these forums, or on Cybernations.

[Antelucan]

The trade system got an overhaul yesterday. Several new bonus resources were added, and the bonuses for many existing resources were tweaked. The team trade bonuses were also revised. Now, whenever you change team colors all your previous team trade bonuses disappear.

[Nec5]

I'm actually happy. My aluminum resource actually contributes something worthwhiel after these changes. Before the overhaul, it added only 10% to soldiers.

[Antelucan]

Attacking system was updated: you can now attack any nations with half (50%) to twice (200%) your nation strength.

[Nec5]

You know something? The new cost feature for improvements makes all negative improvements even more undesirable. Take the labor camp for instance. It reduces infrastructure costs by -10% but it costs you a happiness point. Now it actually costs you cash as well on a daily basis. It seems to be a bit unbalanced now.

I'm surprised that none of us have been attacked recently. Having said that, I just jinxed the aliance.

I should note that this is a rather fun game, that doesn't require much in the way of video cards or other advanced doohickies. We definitely need more folks to join up. It's even free.

[RocketSniper]

So I'm getting income of about $4500 per day, but I've been playing for so long that this rate is about 1/10th of my total income ever.

So... yeah. I still can't afford improvements, but I have like 40 infrastructure and 3 technology.




I need more stuff =(

[Tsuribachi]

I have a nation. Called Yamato.

Instituting an alliance financial assistance program for new members could help this. The problem is all our current members are still too new themselves to guarantee that kind of money.

[Nec5]

That's a good idea. I wish I had come up with it. :)

[RocketSniper]

Also it would help if someone told me how to sign up to our alliance thing.

That's definitely not helping at all.

[Nec5]

Also it would help if someone told me how to sign up to our alliance thing.

That's definitely not helping at all.Go to the first page of this thread and click on supremespleen's link(It's actually the word "here"). Once there, you can register for the forums. One of the admins will give you full access to the site after a day or so if you're accepted.

Next, you can type your alliance affiliation in the corresponding slot after clicking on "Edit my nation" on your main cybernations' nation page. Just type OCA.

We're all pretty new, so we stay away from wars. If anyone gets attacked though, we'll flood aid and help out our members.

[RocketSniper]

Alright, I joined team Orange, lead the nation "Simulated Nation", and the leader's name should be RocketSniper.

I made a post in the OCA thing (wishing a late happy birthday), so you guys can track me there.

Fortunately I was able to end the war, but now my opponents are demanding reparations... and I'm in no place to say no. They're asking for $12,000 which is about a fifth of all of my income, ever so far.


Ouch.

First, register at our off-site forum. I don't have any aid slots available, but I'm sure one of the higher-ups (bones_221, Airwalker, Olrad, etc.) would be glad to give you some aid. Make sure you put "OCA" as an alliance affiliation, so that you appear on this list (http://www.cybernations.net/stats_ranking_alliances.asp?Alliance=OCA).

There is a lot of strategy involved in the early days of a nation. If there is anything in red in the "Private Nation Messages" area at the top of your nation profile, fix that first. After that, you need to just buy infrastructure like you life depends on it. Also, search for trade partners and fill your trades up.

Fixed!

Your nation's crop output has recently surged. Option 1: Destroy the crops in order to keep from flooding the market. Population happiness -2, Citizen income +$10.00
Option 2: Allow the crops to be harvested and sent to the market. Population happiness +2, Citizen income -$10.00

Would this raise the overall income output by 10, or would it be 10/person?

Any issues, happenings, or problems?It's smooth sailing. Nothing much happening except the occasional trade agreement drop and then having to look for another replacement. Those new national wonders are absurdly expensive. Then again, I'm doing the 15% tax plan, so my people get what they pay for.

Wow, I didn't realize that there were this many CN'ers on OCR.

You guys ever think about opening an embassy with IRON? I'll get you the link to the forums and all that if you're interested.

My Nation (http://cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=56810)I have a mate in IRON. Smedricksman.

[bdftesla]

I don't believe I know him. It's hard to know everyone in IRON though. It's a pretty big alliance.

Oh and by the way; Olrad, a member of your alliance, is going to get his nation deleted in about six hours due to inactivity. If you know him you might want to give him a heads up. I believe some of you are trading with him, so you might lose your trades when he gets deleted. I'm lookin' at you, MarioRPG.

Also, I'm somewhat sad that GWII didn't happen. :(

[bdftesla]

Ah, so that's you. I've seen you around.

Yeah, I missed the first Great War, so I was kinda looking forward to getting into GWII. Who knows, it could still happen. There is alot of tension out there...


EDIT: I think salami tastes just fine.

Thanks for the heads-up, bdftesla. I just emailed our man Olrad about the issue.

That is AMAZING.

That is AMAZING.

Thanks! I'm glad everyone likes the propagan...er...recruitment posters. Though I think I really should make a higher res version of the OCA flag, or better yet, one in vector.

[supremespleen]

Those are awesome! Almost make me want to start a new nation.

It sounds interesting, though the google maps thing almost edges into creepiness if you think of people spying on your or something.

Actually, anymore the map feature just shows where you placed you nation. It used to be that you could see other nations within 500 miles of your own, provided that they were of the same strength level, but that feature was too much for their servers, I guess. So for the most part it been disabled...which kind of defeats the purpose of the google maps feature to begin with.
