I can add more if i want tho

A bit off-topic, but what is the reason you use over 5000 puppets? That seems a bit overkill for anything.

Do you want to really know about it? Pay 1 legendary card to unlock this story DLC.

guys ea might have taken over nationstates

Honestly after seeing a faction with over 8,000 nations I didn't feel like joining this year. Faction I would have joined had less than 100 (64 at time of this post) and is being targetted by multiple factions that have multiple thousands of nations (puppets or otherwise). However the final straw was actually being hit by captcha and I pretty much just went "I am not in the mood for this" closing it and sitting it out. My drive to take part wasn't really very large so not overly surprising a minor thing stopped me.

Dont care buddy, you cant just change the META to your liking.
Playing with lots of puppets are way more painful than you can ever imagine especially taking 500 of them into the N-DAY

Why do you even work so hard just to nuke other, vulnerable factions instead of playing it fair like most of us. I know you will just write something like: ''You cant boss me around just fu deal with it.'' Yes it's legal but it doesn't mean that it's a good idea to just take advantage of a crappy captcha and nation farms. Can you atleast explain why it's fun to just ruin others factions.

I for one, had this as my first full-time NS event. I was excited to maybe launch a few nukes for a few minutes then chill and come back. Just to be met with “puppet nation 69420 is targeting you with 100 nukes”. It thrilled me at first, but it just killed off my hopes once we saw that our shields were lower than targets and that only 100-ish people controlled almost all the puppets in HotA.

I am going to be advocating for an anti-HotA alliance next N-Day. I did not expect a bunch of people like them to try so hard that they actually obliterate three major factions.

It’s really not fun for the newbies. I’ll admit, managing that many nations is cool, but it gets real pissy after a while.

Throwing nuke and bullying smaller factions are pretty much point of N-Day

Yes, stamping on small factions is part of the fun, but the war between the top factions is the best part.

I mean bullying on small factions is "real fun" till they send a TG full of insult or beg you to stop attacking

It seems this discussion for some reason energised the backlash against the Horsemen on the Apocalypse: they’ve gone from something like 111,408 points at 15:47 to 7,389 points now. Who thinks tough words seems to win the day?

Yeah it's depressing

It would be interesting to see what would happen if there was a one nation per player restriction.

As I said before, I have no issue with players having nations in multiple factions at the same time. One nation per player for the entire minigame is too harsh in my opinion.

This would actually be fun

Eh, I'd prefer a 5-nation per player limit.

Whatever as long as people aren't allowed to have five fucking thousand alts.

That was my same experience this time around, I was almost instantly killed by Nukes. Made the event not fun at all.

You generally have better chances of living past an hour by joining later.

I didn't join the event until two hours after it started.

"N-Day is an opportunity for nations to come together and exchange nuclear weapons in a fiery Armageddon of mutually assured destruction."
There is no mutually assured destruction in the way you play.
