The Omega assigns a retal window of 72hrs from the time of a country's most recent LG on us to complete all retals. The way to avoid this is to not have any retals pending on your country when you LG us again.

Also note that a country that has been retaled cannot LG the country that retaled until 24hrs after the retal. This is a Retal on a Retal and we will retaliate 2:1 escalating.

In general, the Omega follows a 1:1 escalating retal policy with unpacted alliances. Retals are escalated for multiple hits from the same country or alliance within 24hrs. However, if LG A is already escalated to 2:1, then another hit within 24hrs of that will be escalated to 3:1.

The Omega retals Topfeeds on the 1:1 escalating scale or Land:Land as necessary to recover all land taken in a topfeed. If we can recover the land or take more within the escalating scale, then we use that. If it takes more hits than the escalating scale allows, then we take Land:Land.


Unpacted alliances are free to negotiate with us, but any serious negotiations will usually require an extension of the 72hr window to be mutually agreed before any excessive delays are agreed to on retaliations.

And what is considered to be a "top feed" by Omega policy?

What is the Omegas stance on abortion?

If you say you continue for L:L if you do not achieve it with escalating, then you are really saying you do L:L but in the event of multiple hits you grab extra...

or are you saying that if someone bottomfeeds you and goes into DRs that you will only do one retal regardless of returns?

Why not just use the PDM policy?

I too am curious as to what Omega's definition of a topfeed is?

Wouldnt L:L be simpler?

...and gay marriage? :/

For the purposes of unpacted alliances:

The attacker must have at least 80% of the defender's land prior to their LG or it is a topfeed.

As to abortion and gay marriage. We are the Omega, so everyone will be aborted when we come to pass. At that point, gay marriage is kind of a moot point, don't you think?

I think he wanted to know if members of Omega would be open to a gay marriage with him.

I'm open to the possibilities, but based on their top feed policy I feel they will all be too fat for me. And I thought all marriage was a moot point?

And 80% land? Why not 80% net worth? Does Omega not recognize the term "land fat"? Just curious...

Hardly anybody recognizes the term land fat in connection to topfeed anymore I think (though I would like to see this return).

I think most alliances define topfeeds landwise (or just do 80%l:l retals) these days.

Most alliances do 80% L:L... that way if it is a "topfeed" you get your land back and if it isn't then it is 1:1... pretty simple stuff. I am not sure why people keep experimenting with convoluted stuff...

True, I do like the simplicity and ease of 80% l:l.

oh hush, you love experimenting

True dat

we in PDM like to refer to Detmer as being trysexual . . .
