    KINGWAR — Today at 10:28 AM
    ok
    i am sorry if it was short
    my nation was just attacked 5 days ago and i lost so much and it is about to be my nation 1 year anniversary
    IraRegis — Today at 10:34 AM
    so, I've seen within the past few weeks you've tried to join the immortals, grumpy old bastards,  unforgiven legion,  and the celtic empire. What alliance(s) were you ever a member in and what happened with them? What happened with the ones that you've tried to join over the last few weeks? Can you elaborate on your alliance history a bit more?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:34 AM
    ok
    so i try to join grumpy old bastards
    bc of there 100 million dollar grant but i was not accept it bc of my score
    immortals i joined for city grants but bc of my nation score they did not accept me
    unforgiven  legion i applied to but i was not accept it bc of my nations citys it was not enough
    celtic empire i joined but they did not accept me bc i was in war and there group was about peace they kicked me bc they said they don't like nukes. i said ill start making nukes than they kicked me
    so yea thats all
    the rest tho
    all nation scores and grants i applied to they said i had to be in a alliance to get grants and perks so they did not accept me
    IraRegis — Today at 10:40 AM
    gotcha, so before you started applying to all of these places, were you in an alliance? have you ever been in an alliance?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:40 AM
    nope
    for 5 months i was a loner
    bc i was new
    still kinda learning
    after 5 months i start looking for some but at that time my nations score was 450-500
    than i made my nation score to 1.5k but i lost alot
    so it went down to 800
    IraRegis — Today at 10:42 AM
    gotcha. It's very hard to play this game without being in an alliance 🙂
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:43 AM
    yup
    i learned when i lost all my money
    and troops
    and spys
    and people
    3 weeks ago
    and now i want my army grow to 780k
    IraRegis — Today at 10:44 AM
    Yeah, sorry about that but you'll bounce back! OK so the next portion of this is a short interview where I just ask you a series of questions. Once we finish that, our internal affairs gov will review your answers and may ask additional questions and then they will make a decision. Do you have time for the short interview now?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:44 AM
    i was inactive for 2 months bc the game was hard
    and now i came back playing
    ok
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:45 AM
    ok
    IraRegis — Today at 10:45 AM
    great. let's get started.
    We require the usage of Slack, a free chatting application available for both desktop and mobile, for all members. Will you be okay with this?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:46 AM
    yes
    IraRegis — Today at 10:46 AM
    We require that you use the leader name in-game as your name on the forum and on slack. Do you agree to do that?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:46 AM
    yes i agree
    IraRegis — Today at 10:46 AM
    For military preparedness, TKR requires all of our members to maintain a warchest of resources required for war.  Are you ok with this?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:46 AM
    yes i am ok
    with this
    IraRegis — Today at 10:46 AM
    If TKR asks you to go to war where your nation may take heavy damage, would you do it?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:47 AM
    yes i would lose all my army for TKR 
    IraRegis — Today at 10:48 AM
    If you are accepted to the alliance you understand that we expect you to check in with your mentor weekly as a minimum and engage in conversations in slack, failing to do so can lead to your removal from the alliance. Do you agree?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:48 AM
    i agree
    IraRegis — Today at 10:49 AM
    Have you played any similar nation sim games before like cybernations or nationstates?   If so, which alliances were you in, and for how long?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:49 AM
    yes i did
    Conflict of nations and cybernations and nationstates
    conflict of nations - 3 years
    cybernations - 2 years
    nationstates -3 years
    IraRegis — Today at 10:50 AM
    oh nice!
    were you in any alliances in CN?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:50 AM
    yup
    wanna see
    IraRegis — Today at 10:50 AM
    sure, which ones were you in?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:51 AM
    so i am rank 43 on cn
    and my alliance is
    VTF
    victory task force
    thats whats its called
    IraRegis — Today at 10:52 AM
    OK, great!
    What made you pick TKR over other alliances?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:53 AM
    I picked TKR bc i got 34 spam messages of TKR and i saw the ad
    IraRegis — Today at 10:53 AM
    haha, ok!
    How active will you be?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:53 AM
    intel my account gets 50 years of age
    than ill stop playing it
    and be in the group
    IraRegis — Today at 10:54 AM
    how much time per day do you usually play?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:54 AM
    7
    IraRegis — Today at 10:54 AM
    7 hours?.
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:54 AM
    3 hours are satistics
    yup
    IraRegis — Today at 10:54 AM
    What time zone will you usually play the game in?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:54 AM
    EST
    4 hours are for tracking my nation
    i do 7 hours i am sorry if its alot
    i do statistics to monitor my nation
    IraRegis — Today at 10:55 AM
    that's fine
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:56 AM
    and how long it will last each week incase of war
    IraRegis — Today at 10:56 AM
    What are your expectations of TKR?
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:56 AM
    To get a grant and have a great team of people helping me grow into a bank
    yes my nation is a bank
    i sold my alliance than it got disbanded
    IraRegis — Today at 10:58 AM
    what do you mean grow into a bank? I'm just asking because I don't think we allow player-led banking in TKR because it can be unreliable for all parties. We have an alliance bank that you are free to use, however.
    KINGWAR — Today at 10:58 AM
    so my nation is a bank i make money so i can give loans each loan helps me so my bank can grow
    i track the money of each nation
    and how much a nation loses
    IraRegis — Today at 11:00 AM
    Gotcha. Yeah I don't think we allow player banking/player loans, but our internal affairs gov can go into detail with you on that when they review your application.
    What makes a good alliance and what makes a good member?
    Liam the 2nd — Today at 11:03 AM
    Yes we do not allow banks. You can use our alliance bank to store money & resources, but you're not allowed to use, or be, a player run bank.
    IraRegis — Today at 11:03 AM
    Thanks Liam!
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:05 AM
    ok
    well
    do you understand
    Liam the 2nd — Today at 11:06 AM
    Do I understand what exactly?
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:07 AM
    that
    the owner of pow knows this
    Liam the 2nd — Today at 11:07 AM
    That you're a player run bank?
    That's fine by me, there are a lot of banks like that. We just don't want it in our alliance.
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:12 AM
    ok
    i told alex
    Liam the 2nd — Today at 11:12 AM
    Again, that is fine. It isn't against the rules to be a bank
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:13 AM
    ok
    alex and me talked 2 times
    Liam the 2nd — Today at 11:14 AM
    However, the chance for a bank to fail is too high, and because of that we do not allow it in our alliance.
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:14 AM
    yea
    ima broke
    i cant make a bank anymore
    200k is not alot
    i understand
    the bank makes me money only 1 million a day or less
    Liam the 2nd — Today at 11:15 AM
    Okay, so you will never start a player run bank when you're in TKR?
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:15 AM
    i lose 500k a day for my army
    ok
    i will stop makeing banks
    and listen
    Liam the 2nd — Today at 11:16 AM
    Aha, I think we have a major misunderstanding lol
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:16 AM
    o
    Liam the 2nd — Today at 11:16 AM
    Do you mean the banks in cities?
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:16 AM
    yes
    IraRegis — Today at 11:16 AM
    OH
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:16 AM
    i make banks in citys
    Liam the 2nd — Today at 11:16 AM
    I am so so sorry, no that is absolutely allowed
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:16 AM
    i made 5
    ok
    Liam the 2nd — Today at 11:17 AM
    I think Ira and I thought you meant something completely different
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:17 AM
    its ok
    IraRegis — Today at 11:17 AM
    yeah, I think we're good now
    hahaha
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:17 AM
    ok
    Liam the 2nd — Today at 11:18 AM
    You can continue the interview now
    Again very sorry😅
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:18 AM
    ok
    Liam the 2nd — Today at 11:19 AM
    This was the question you guys were on
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:20 AM
    A good alliance that makes me a good member is a honest, Helpful and safe alliance
    IraRegis — Today at 11:21 AM
    And what makes a good member?
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:23 AM
    what makes a good member is a great team and a great alliance that supports you and helps you
    IraRegis — Today at 11:23 AM
    What can you bring to TKR?
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:24 AM
    A great person i am great ill bring my all
    you there?
    no reply
    IraRegis — Today at 11:26 AM
    Great!
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:27 AM
    ok
    IraRegis — Today at 11:27 AM
    This concludes our inteview. A member of our @Internal Affairs team will review your application and may ask additional clarifying questions. In the mean time, feel free to let us know if you have any questions
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:28 AM

    Alright King I'm giving you access to our academy, it's 3 tests where you learn the game. You have a lot of experience so you'll know some of these things already. But because you've never been in a big alliance I think it's best to do it anyway.
    KINGWAR — Today at 11:31 AM
    WHAT
    Liam the 2nd — Today at 11:31 AM
    You can find a link to the academy in your application post on our forums! :)

    KINGWAR — Today at 11:35 AM
    yes
    they did
    Liam the 2nd — Today at 11:35 AM
    Then you'll find the academy extremely easy! Normally it's 10-15 minutes but if you know all the answers you'll be a lot faster

  4. The income amount is static. The purchase amount is variable (therefore the 50% discount is able to scale)

     

    For that reason, I'd go with the discount.

     

    The only reason the income amount choice would be attractive if is if there was a compounding component that allowed the amount to scale.

     

    You could even generate a huge amount of income using the first option.

     

    For instance, if I purchase a house that is appraised at 500,000 for 250,000, I instantly have 250,000 dollars worth of equity. I can just sell, collect the 250k equity, and apply it to a more expensive home for which I will then immediately earn equity. You would only need to do this a few times to become a billionaire.

     

    Here's the path to 1 billion dollars if you increase the home purchase price in accordance to the equity earned on last sale:

    This is essentially what flippers do, except we don't have to do any extra work because the capital gain comes from the 50% discount of the purchase (which is unique to us and does not affect the appraised value of the home). This removes the inherent risk involved in property flipping and turns it into an infinite money glitch.

     

    You could essentially do this with any item you buy and resell. As long as the market value is higher than what you paid, you'll earn a profit. It's just that bigger ticket items are more efficient to flip.
