What would you like to see happen?

I personally would like to see you shut up.

That would give me a great deal of pleasure.

Thank you ;)

What would you like to see happen?

Powerblock to stop working together.

You to shut up or quit the game.

That is all.

EDIT: Realistically I'd like people to learn how to spell, but I suspect that is a futile hope.

i would like to see TBA break up and allow the round to be open so like 6-7 allis can war against each other 1v1v1v1v1v1v1 and not have to worry about napped retals, thats what i would like to see.

Do whatever the hell you want. Personally I couldn't give a damn if you powerblock for the rest of the round or not. I don't need to be rank 1 to have fun and I certainly don't mind being attacked by people bigger than me (in fact, the attacks we're received so far have being highly entertaining [retarded]). I'm still enjoying the game so I don't care.

So i keep hearing things of "Do the right thing and stop this powerblock" from the same people.
And wondering - wtf.
So my 3 questions are to whoever and ANYONE wants to answer SERIOUSLY:

What would you like to see happen?

I (personally) would like you to break the sNAP, because now people are dev'd noone could run away with it so would be a round long war. Although I do not think it will happen.

All I would like is for players to be honest, those who are in the powerblock want to win, and will do anything to do so (no problem with that, my previous actions in other rounds wouldn't all me to be a hypocryt regarding morals). If you wish to win then you have done, just don't BS about it, and say how you lot are going against each other, pretending to say you will fight on forums etc.

In summary, what do I want? People to admit they are doing it to win and that only.

The powerblock to stop working together and fight independantly...the way the game should be played.

We all have a round or two people dont agree with.
Or speak out and be classed as "lamer".
You should know.

I want you to realize that I have no position as a representative of the game. As a helper you have other channels and other methods at your disposal to take up your displeasure elsewhere. So all this grandstanding is just against azzer because you don't agree with the round? I get angry because I find several fundamentals at the core of the administration and the game to be severely flawed and that only cosmetic actions are taken rather than taking the opportunity to really make this place shine. Where exactly are you going with your statements?

So realistically, I guess I'd like to see you stop talking in circles.

Twigley....

it ain't about what we want its about what you or anyone individually wants.

I'm personally feeling a bit sad, because there are so many people in tba who I can call friends (online-ish ones ofc).

but being in this dubio, on one side the need to achieve proper ranks and on the other hand the need i personally feel to enrich the game and be honourable.

therefore it aint about what others want, its about which one of those things YOU think is more valuable, now and later on.

I made my choice, and i expect everyone else to make a choice too :P

not realistic, but i would like to see the whole powerblock delete their id's and start over. stay as a powerblock then and see if you can rise again to the top this round. that would be interesting

Powerblock to stop working together.

... so like 6-7 allis can war against each other 1v1v1v1v1v1v1 and not have to worry about napped retals...

You really think it would be 1 v 1 v 1 v 1 v 1 v 1 if broke up? :P

In summary, what do I want? People to admit they are doing it to win and that only.

This happened 1-2 weeks ago.

So realistically, I guess I'd like to see you stop talking in circles.

I would love nothing more than:

* NON-TBA: TWIGLEY SUX
* TWIGLEY: ... GO AWAY NOOB.
* 2 MORE NON-TBA: TWIGLEY SUX
* TWIGLEY: GO AWAY NOOBS.

Nobody is making anyone do anything.
If any of Overlude members want to leave they can leave.

i wanna see sum epic battle reports, and i all that is happening (as far as i can tell) is the top 3 alliances sitting down and having a tea party while hitting the smaller ppl within reach, i dont care if the powerblock continues, but give us some massive BRs to look at between ticks, and where has the BR thread gone since global politcs dissapeared?

That we have now done. (Or at least I have anyway)
Although not from the start for purely political reasons (because if people realised how closely together we had been working, and the threat that we were for winning, we would have been taken down from Day 1).

I would like you to put a picture of your willy on your alliance page but hey that's just me :/
I'll see what we can do... :P

As I've mentioned before, I believe that the round is still open. Myself, JJ, Twigley, and the other co-leaders involved within the group all know where our weakness is, and how easily we 'could' be taken down, if those wishing for us to be taken down wanted to so badly.
I'm not going to tell you what our weakness is, as that would be silly and in some ways I won't you don't discover it :P but it is there.

Tw00gley, you really need to get off your high horse. You act like you have done something impossible, while in fact, you are winning a round using one of the lowest tactics known. A tactic which takes absolutely no skill and politics.

Even backstabbing takes skill.

Cut some members till u have only 2 allainces, then imo the round is clear as bleu sky!

Though the resistance has to not use excuses, and simply try and take them down as they are clearly calling TBA all noobs who cant win whitout this powerblock.... show them!

Everybody knows your weaknesses, it's not as if they're ridiculously hard to guess or a massive secret - SG is the weakest alliance of the three. They would fall stupidly easily if they came under a large scale attack because their offensive and defensive planning is - to be honest - worse than a rank 15 alliance's. To top this off they have very poor early morning - early afternoon (GMT) cover.

Overlude and Inimical possess people who care too much about rank and winning. If they die / get annoyed they will quit. They also have certain people that will organise defence to be sent to themselves if they have massive incoming. Wow such secret weaknesses.

Inimical only have 17 members. Their leader is uncontactable, as are at least 3/4 other people in the alliance, and most of them are playing routes that are easily rushed. They are also loaded with night cover and have poor day cover and defence organisation during the day. Exposed?! :O

I think the point is that nobody really cares, and certainly nobody can really be bothered to organise a resistance. Why would we want to give you guys some fun? If you're happy bashing someone with 2k land with 5-6 people (and 2 on one tick - yes 100 land each!) then keep doing that, nobody in the game will stop you. But I know that speaking for myself I'll only attempt to organise a resistance if I feel a need to and I really don't. Have fun with no targets and your 50-100 acre grabs! Because we're having fun picking you all off in defence and raping all your noobs :)

I want the resistance to take down TB whatever the heck it's called! They don't look THAT far away in score iunno why no one's resisting :(... what happened to the 10 pages of inc to Meh? I don't care about a power block much.. I want to see some resistance action!

27-02-2009, 01:40 AM

I want the powerblock to end, I want my friends from inimical back. I want fair 1 v 1 wars. And I wanna see some kick ass battle reports.

I left because I was bored. End the block, and I am very sure I will not be.

rooney

27-02-2009, 03:00 PM

i want alliances to be able to attack one of the 3, knowing that they wont get retalled by 2 other alliances if they do. that on its own would make the round more open.

:winner:

please don't flame/encourage flaming when you're an s.mod. You have a certain authority here and should moderate the flaming and punish the people who do it, not tag along with it.

And no, I'm not a twigley troll, but this annoyed me as an smod at several other forums myself.

Maxi

04-03-2009, 10:15 PM

I find it surprising that none of the 3 leaders have 'backstabbed' or dropped the 'NAP' yet. Boo to them for 'powerblocking' their way to the top, but it's a valid tactic. Not as honourable as fighting your way to the top, but it works. I think it's time rank 2 & 3 take on rank 1, again, and again, and again. Keep the round interesting, as soon as a war is over, and another alliance takes rank 1, send at them. Fun & thrills assured. Grow some balls. :D

Cyrus

04-03-2009, 11:17 PM

they're useless and dont have skill for that as proved ;)

as for the loyalty, alliances have 20 members not 60 :< thus i stay loyal to the one alliance i join and that is that

I'm sorry what's the point of this thread?

"Realistically" (and as proven in another thread), none of the TBA n00block are going to do anything because they're all too focused on their scores, so why does this thread exist?

No-Dachi

06-03-2009, 01:43 PM

I'd guess that it either exists because the creator of it wants to be amused, or because he wants to better his reputation.

from what i gather, more likely the first one than the second :P
so maybe best solution is we all stop posting and he gets bored and goes away \o/

timtadams

07-03-2009, 12:35 PM

realistically i dont care

but people whining about it is getting kinda annoying. Stop *****ing and organise a resistance. Its only three allies. I was getting the inpression that it was like 7 allies the way everyone was carrying on.

Oh yeah. Its a tactic and they are pawning your arses with it.

And Twigles is obviously posting because he is winning and just wants to remind himself of it.

I dont get this "powerblock" thing. Ok so there are 3 allies who are working together, but this is nothing new, it happens round after round. The only difference is that the TBA did it from round start.

If it wasnt the TBA being moaned about this round it would be something else.

So what if other people had the same idea next round and 3 groups of 3 allies were all battling against each other, I'm sure that would be considered ok.

To me its just a tactic that has caught some people by suprise, just like the bunker ally a few rounds back, except this time Twigley actually made his plans public well before round start. Also I dont actually believe Twigley planned all this as a powerblock, he probably thought a couple of allies could help each other out, and didnt expect them to run away with the lead (I might be wrong, but I dont think so)

BlackWolf

07-03-2009, 08:36 PM

I tell you Twigley what I realisticly want. I want you to not make same mistakes I did.

I have given this game so much of my life, I have spent so many hours here, I lost a job for this game and I have passed my graduation by years for this game. What have I got in exchange is not what you want.

You can think now as high of yourself as you want but in the end there is amount you can lie to yourself. You can keep telling yourself how you did it fair and square and how it was not against rules etc. Eventually you will realize that you do not win this game by winning the ranks. You win this game by winning the hearts of people.

You win every time you get new friend, you win every time someone asks you "sup?". This game is about winning yourself. To win yourself you do not cheat, you dont make powerblocks. As when you are all alone and taking some beers you will end up thinking this game and at that point there is no witnesses but yourself and it is hard to lie for yourself how you won something when you know it is not true. Competing is fun, but competing with unfair power is not. That is what you all will find out sooner or later in your lives. Faster you realize it faster you understand that life and winning is tied to taking risk and losing. I rather fall boots on my feets than I win by cheating. That is what I have learned.

This is what this community tries to tell you people in TBA. Winning is cool, only as long as you are on top. When next rounds begins and all you hear is disrispectful opinions of your actions you will be closer to the truth than you now understand. As even you may now be able to tell yourselves how you are on top and it is all so cool and you are so good. Eventually you are to wake to a day when you are nothing but a guy who was part of powerblock and nothing else. That is how it goes. You can lie and cheat others, but you cant lie and cheat to yourself forever.

And in the end of the day what matters more... You knowing how you won your limitations and yourself. Or knowing you lied to yourself and won nothing?

That is what I realisticly want... people to realize how by doing bad things they dont actually win anything, they just cheat themselves and to know that they cant keep it up forever. Would I still change a day of my life on bushtarion? No. As I think I have learned more of life and myswlf by making these mistakes than by not playing this game. I just think my part is to share my knownledge with those who comes after me, so they dont need to make same mistakes. Decision is yours, its never too late.
