The government does the most it can to prepare and the most we can to direct the curing effort. We have improved on last year.

Statistics that are offered by the experts in our region who prepare various scripts and other means of calculating the best way of responding to it, is the way we chose to deal with it this year. If you focus your curing efforts on *active* nations, then those *active* nations will be unable to cure others.

They also can't cure others when they are dead, therefore it makes far more sence to send cure missles to an active nation that is battling the zombies, one way or the other, and about to be wiped out, than nations firing all their cure missles at zombie empires who are going to turn their survivors back into zombies (which is what was happening of a GRAND scale). There were too many curing and not enough striking which is while there was still infection at the close of the apocalypse.

Glad to have been of assistance, despite ending up with no survivors. Chopwell was overrun by zombies, which were then killed! Oh Well!

From what I've read you've not said why I should vote for you - you just criticized the current government without discussing the areas of success, such as taking a vote to see what we collectively wanted and the delegate maintaining order on the RMB when he was around. I'm sorry but you're evaluation seems purposely negative to promote yourself and all you said was that you can 'trust and protect' us, without exactly telling us how.

It was a nice bit of propaganda though, but i'd have confused it for adspam tbh.

You hopefully noticed that we adapted our curing efforts as the event went on. To start with we did direct our curing missiles at nations who were *actively* researching a cure. We cannot keep every single nation alive, but we did the best that we could do at directing those missiles at curing nations. As the event went on, we swapped it to nations who had the most zombies (excluding zombie empires) and at the end we directed it at Zombie Empires in the hope of getting into the top 10.

Our curing program was nuanced and encompassed several different policies depending on the time of day. It wasn't that we were simply curing zombie empires, but we had to keep adapting the policy to get the most effective and efficient response.

And New Charlzilla - was a zombie empire.. who hindered our efforts at any opportunity. He had no interest in the success of the region.

United kittens wrote:As a region it was a big mistake to advise everyone to cure. A balance of cure and strike saw the likes of Wysteria become zombie free very quickly. TNP has a lot to learn in my opinion, this should have been about more than regional stats, zombie empires that were sending hordes should have been the priority to attack with strike forces, and active nations battling the zombies should have been targets of the cure missles. A non-horde sending zombie empire poses little risk and can be sorted out last, and an infected non-active nation also poses no risk and can be sorted out with the non-horde zombies.

In hindsight, it is true that a mixed strategy would have probably worked better. However, I don't agree with all of your assessment. We were targetting primarily horde-sending zombie empires, whenever those showed up. And we can't cure nations actively battling the zombies, because then those nations can no longer do any battling themselves due to the cooldown effect.

New charlzilla wrote:The 2014 Z-Day event demonstrated the total lack of ability of the North Pacific leadership - it was disunited, incompetent and indecisive. The performance by the current administration was worse than last year's. It refused to listen to nations that held a view differing from it, and failed to protect the region adequately, closing the borders only too late. The administration released a mediocre plan, cobbled together at the last minute.

For the record, we actually performed better than last year. We had 20% more survivors than in 2013.

Simply because I was trying to test the administration. I was hoping to see you would respond quickly, with the right decisions. Sadly, you have failed my tests. I had done so to prove a point - that your administration has failed the region.

It isn't my administration.. and it didn't fail the region. The stats are an improvement on last year and we will continue to improve on this.

You didn't test us at all to be honest, you were almost entirely inactive for the event. But I'm glad you had fun.

Our response to you was fine. We kicked you out :) .

I risked ejection and a further decline in popularity to prove a point to the people of the North Pacific - that their leaders can't handle a crisis, and hence should be voted out at the earliest possible opportunity!

Hi there, anybody still alive?

You are in no position to criticise the HMS Unicorn administration if you cannot do better than them.

I fully agree with you; and how do you know...if you've not given me a chance to serve? Vote me in, come January 2015 and I promise you I will do better than them!

You demonstrated that you were unwilling to contribute constructively to our zombie day event. Instead you chose to ruthlessly and relentlessly attack other nations until the Delegate removed you from the region. Now you say you were "testing" the administration... Sounds like poor trolling to me.

You don't get to say "elect me into the position of Delegate" and then I'll somehow show to you that I can lead this region and do a good job. You haven't demonstrated any interest to actually better this region. It is just endless trolling and baseless criticism directed at other players on the RMB.

New charlzilla

I genuinely do wish to help improve the North Pacific.

A couple of quick announcements before I go offline for a few hours:

1) We started a feedback thread for the Zombie Apocalypse on the forum. Please head over there and let us know of your thoughts on our planning, strategy, and execution: http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/7260181/1/

2) The November 2014 Judicial Election has just begun. We are currently accepting candidacy declarations, and will continue to do so until November 6th: http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/7260167/1/

12 extra hours works wonders stat-wise. XD

The biggest problem for me, and this may have not been under your instruction, was cure missles being sent to zombie empires in the masses.

Yes it improved the region stats temporarily, but in the long term, this was a pointless, tail chasing exercise

But that said we probably didn't have enough strike force nations to combat them, due to the cure/strike imbalance.

Ah fair point. I thought it was the same, when in fact it was 6 (not 12) hours longer. That's 20% more time for 20% more survivors. So it looks like we did about as well as last year.

Next year all of your citizens will be dead or undead, BUAHAHAHAHAHA

Never!

The Ministry of Home Affairs has published a dispatch with additional information regarding the November 2014 Judicial Election that has just begun.

Take a look, and if you find the dispatch useful, please make sure to approve of it!
