NationStates: N-Day 7: The Clock Ticks

[NationStates News]

The Doomsday Clock is apparently just 100 seconds from nuclear disaster, but here we like to give you a little more time to prepare. This weekend, N-Day returns, and with it an opportunity to toss fiery nukes at your mortal enemies (or friends, if that's your thing).

Nuclear resolution begins in:

After last year's disgusting show of dominance by the Crabs of the Apocalypse, we have made a small change. Faction pre-registration now opens 3 days before the event, allowing nations to join together and make plans before their inevitable obliteration.

Also imminent: re-opening of the Vault 41 discussion forum.

The more things change, the more they stay the same, Momma told me, earlier today, while playing N-Day. She was pissed because her Faction was getting pancaked by Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

It was different, this year, with a genuine atomic contest, but also the same, with the ultimate victors being once again those apocalyptic Horsemen.

*** COMING SOON: An on-the-scene report from one of our roving reporters ***

Final scoreboard:

Global stats:

• 833 factions were created.

• 37965 nations joined a faction.

• 4,511,089 nukes were targeted.

• 3,852,554 nukes were launched.

• 2,226,205 nukes were shot down.

• 1,627,430 strikes occurred for 1,358,453 radiation.

This is fewer strikes than normal but way more of everything else, largely because of a defensive masterclass from Potato Alliance.

A special shoutout to our servers, too, which also get nuked every N-Day, but keep ticking along. Our load stats, that's the real destruction.

Thank you for participating in N-Day⁷!

The more things change, the more they stay the same, Momma told me, earlier today, while playing N-Day. She was pissed because her Faction was getting pancaked by Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

It was different, this year, with a genuine atomic contest, but also the same, with the ultimate victors being once again those apocalyptic Horsemen.

From our roving reporter @@JGConfig::nice_name("united_calanworie", 2)@@:

After the show of force last year from the Horsemen, it was no surprise when they ultimately dominated N-Day⁷. While it was not a surprise this year, it was certainly more hard-fought. The battle between Horsemen and Potato Alliance was legendary, and certainly one for the history books. Their forces clashed many times, firing nukes in waves, rather than in staggered numbers, causing overwhelming damage to both factions. Potato Alliance took the brunt of these attacks, however, falling to dead last in the rankings multiple times throughout the event, making it all the more impressive that they finished third. Unsurprisingly, their strong third place finish is due to the fact that they led the wurld in shield usage, intercepting a grand total of 710,140 nuclear weapons before they could land on their targets, outclassing their closest competitor (HoTA) by nearly three hundred thousand intercepts. Nation distribution across factions was also significantly more even this year, with five factions having over 1,000 nations in them, as opposed to last year's three. This likely helped even the scales and create a closer competition this year. In the end though, the Horsemen won, beating out the second-place faction Anime Nations Against Liberals by nearly ten times their score, with a final tally of 444,575. Congratulations to the victors, and best of luck to the hazmat teams now responsible for decontaminating the wurld overnight.
