Do people still raid regularly in this game? I'm not really tapped into the larger community, tbh.

I am also not but as far i know raids do still happen here and there, though the usual targets are regions with Fascist tags.

They probably get more to join them for raids on fascist regions.

I don't believe it's as big a deal as it used to be, but certainly worth planning for. With that in mind, I've made some small changes to the remaining officers here.

Global thermonuclear war is scheduled in 5 days.

I still plan to create our faction for anyone who wants to play, like in previous years, although I have little enthusiasm left for the event, and the same seems to be true for the rest of the community, as we had very little turnout last year. So I probably won't be doing much besides just creating the faction, leaving it, and then seeing how things turn out.

I will admit it's not my favorite event either but I'll be on to help as best I can.

Eh, I've never joined in on N-day before, don't plan to join this year either.

The Atomic Rainbooms are ready for lift-off. Membership is open to everyone who likes ponies, no matter what region you're in.

It appears to be the 18th faction founded this year.

Knock somebody who isn't yourself out!

I managed to survive for 3 hours and 10 minutes. Didn't manage to get a single hit.
Zombie day is honestly better, since it is cooperative instead of player vs. player. It is also better since having puppets in Z day is a disadvantage.

Puppets are only a liability in Z-Day if they're inactive.

When you don't have people actively helping the zombies (which does introduce player vs player elements), it pretty much comes down to the ratio of active versus inactive nations.

So what is the plan for zombie day when the region has been split into two? Are we going to cure just one region and the other leave for the infected? or are we going to try to cure both regions?

Sorry my friends ,that I kept you so long waiting for a almighty BB poll to vote on,so here it is!

The puppet army will be set to cure, so this region at least should be perfectly fine. I'll be sure keep an eye on the news page as well, in case Max tries to do a reset like he did last year.

Hmm. Still no news post on the upcoming zombie apocalypse. I hope it's not like last year where it gets snuck up on us while pretending there isn't going to be one.

Ok, we have our news post- basically T-2 days as I type this, meaning a start at 5:00 PM EDT on October 30. I'm sure everybody who's been around since at least last October knows our regional policy, but I'm going to review it anyway, for the benefit of newcomers if nothing else.

Pony Lands and Pony Realms are Cure Only Regions. Nations either killing or siding with the zombies will find themselves in The Rejected Realms for the duration of the event. Nations that never pick an option will be left alone in this manner, but will be dead weight- just more zombies to cure, with no contribution towards the regional cure. I encourage people to at least log in long enough to set their nation to cure once the event kicks off.

Naturally, people will be using their Cure Missiles on each other, but I need to say that it's important to not totally clear out nations contributing significantly toward the cure until it's ready. Doing so will greatly slow progress on that front, as well as that nations ability to gain access to missiles themselves. I cleared out Trotterdam before they ever logged in last year, and they never even unlocked the Mk1 missiles if I remember correctly. Probably some logic involving access to test subjects to try the cure on.

Thanks for the reminder! I'd almost forgotten about that.

In fact, it may be better to just not use cure missiles at all in the beginning. Save them for the endgame. It's starting research as early as possible that's the important part.

T-1 Hour 15 Minutes. Get ready.

Ready!

Research started.

Now to take a nap and come back in a few hours and see how things are going, I guess.

Let the curing begin!

I confirm the start of work for a cure by Stalliongrad!

Wait, I just noticed. The Mk2's have a "10% restoration chance per hit"? I don't think that was there last year... Don't know what that means just yet.
Edit: Eh, just knocked all my puppets down under 100 million zombies, and none of the missiles failed to work. Must be for if a nation gets overrun or sides with them on purpose.

That's been there since 2018. It's to counter zombie hordes' ability to infiltrate nations and disrupt their decision-making. We don't have zombie hordes here, so not an issue.

Ok, no matter then.

I understand that we are the region with the least infections in the world.
