Most pathetic alliance thus far!!!

[fRe3kiLL]

hands down, IMO, BARCODE!!!!!

WHY?
for the simple fact that they have repeatedly, and annoyingly tried to progress either best bud, or their little brother's from gaining land or getting a nice portal spot for stealer, by letting that poor person, which is between 1 - 15% of my score....join 2 of their alliance member, usually both between 200% - 300% of my score (I'm solo, without a hope of hell of getting gov def) in their (so far) failed efforts on zeroing me.

Thus far i've managed by some very awesome strategic efforts on my part to block them from landing, or even doing major damage.

But for HOW LONG do I keep this up, cause once again they are back trying their luck. And they might succeed eventually.

NOW your all gonna say, "but this is a war game...take it like a man"
I would if you could call these pathetic attempts WAR!!!
To me, i've always seen that it is so much more fun, attacking at your 75%+ range, creating some interesting battle reports, and actually putting your men to the test in battle...

so let us see.....at present, 2 guys (224% and 225% of my score) sending lethals(MORE than enough to kill the small amount of troops that i presently have) and there little baby brother (15% of my score...god bless his soul, they grow up so fast, don't they?) are inbound on my company in search of EASY land...

HONESTLY, this is the reason why so many people LEAVE, or QUIT after a single round. NO BEGINNER would ever enjoy this game if this constantly happened to him/her.

I've been playing for many years now, and as I'm very active and always online trying my best, i've learned a lot, and done pretty damn well for myself. But THIS is just childish in the extreme


BARCODE====YOU SUCKETH IN THE EXTREME

/end gripe
/no need to reply, or defend your pathetic attempts at uhmm.. "war"?

[fRe3kiLL]

and as for particular reasons for these type of attacks...

anyone saying, "but I'm being attacked by people over 300% my score all the time"

just because someone else out there is a total FAILURE at warring, doesn't mean you have to be as well. If people 300% my size attack me constantly, so be it, BUT I won't do it unto others

Barcodes are sad idd, but thats only coz none of them is in my range :(

[fRe3kiLL]

lol.

I'm glad this entertained you :P
my work here is done....

on a sidenote:
....can we please get some more life into forums now?

[timtadams]

I kinda agree some people are pretty lame.

I am extremely inactive. So inactive i couldve started strikers like a week ago, but havnt been able to plant for the 5 min ive been on every now and then.

Anyway, i had all my lets killed. The very few that i had, as though it was necessary :roll:
So i thought ef it, they can have my land. Ill just buy some more. Anyway, I had a few people continuously resend at me, and i would log on after one day to 40 news and less land.

But ok they land raped me, but ONE guy thought he would continuously resend at me with seed theives. And it wasnt enough that i had zero LETs/hip/yob, no, he would resend every day, with let, just to kill all my harvesters and gardeners.

Now that is stupid. If i stop getting seeds, how is he going to steal as much as possible? Anyway, i have a stupid percentage of grass land, so seed stealing isnt an issue.

Now all in all, i couldnt give a ****, but what about beginners? Now thats the thing that pisses me off. The fact that there are dipshits like that that are just going give other people the *****, and want to quit.

[CFalcon]

In my opinion, if you've made yourself an attractive/land fat/easy target and you can't hold on to your land, then really you can't complain when you get repeatedly attacked. I'm not saying it's honourable, but if we all agreed to only attack each other once then we might as well not bother with troops, developments or tactics.

Sending LETs to hit someone who only has INNs, at least outside FTW play, is really low though. You don't even gain anything from it, you're just being vindictive.

[tobapopalos]

Sending LETs to hit someone who only has INNs, at least outside FTW play, is really low though. You don't even gain anything from it, you're just being vindictive.

I remember a few rounds ago me and Hobbezak were chilling in my two-man public alliance with practically no land or troops. We were just messing about for the round. One night Tree sent at both of us about ten times with a +2 mod with pure sorcs to kill our harvesters and gardeners (that was all we had). It was so utterly unnecessary, and although we weren't playing properly at the time we did wonder why on earth she did it. You don't get any bounty for it, you don't get any eff for it, and killing INNs isn't exactly going to make you renowned as the most fearsome cat in town.

Basically it was the most pathetic thing I've ever witnessed ingame.

I can completely understand and agree with you freekill. The problem is that there is no longer any incentive for players to attack at above 70%, and no punishment for attacking at 30%. This is why I am campaigning for the return of L/F or something similar, so that we can return to a more fair system :)

If L/F doesn't work out, then I would suggest an alternative approach whereby instead of land capping at 10% minimum (which isn't enough of an incentive to attack bigger targets) it should simply drop to 0% land at minimum range, so that there's no land to gain and only kills. Obviously, I'd rather have no land cap and an L/F system in place instead, but there should be SOME system to deter attacking at 30% other than an eta modifier.

There was meant to be some sort of fairness calculator being introduced. But i guess that will never happen tbh.

[Davs]

I could have sworn Azzer mentioned the return of l/f...

But tbh, easy land is in no way good enough to justify having to wait an extra 1 or 2 ticks for an attack to go through. Not to mention the fact that easy land is boring, whereas messy fights are quite entertaining (imo) and sometimes fairly educational.

Mon 19th Oct, 2009
Apologies for my extended absence, mostly down to some horrible illness but I'm no longer infectious and other than a bit more resting up, I'm good to go and start cracking on with work again now - you'll be seeing me around more and more again over the next few weeks and I'll crack on with code changes for the round after this one (L/F will be coming in for then, with the new FC new landcap steal rules etc. - that's my priority code change atm). Some code changes (not mechanic ones) may appear mid-round - interface related etc. - also expect the return of the old style manual in the coming weeks (intending to integrate it with the wiki database to allow for quicker/easier updates of the manual).

But I still dont think its happening tbh. An update would be nice.

Back rounds ago you used to be able to hit at 17.5% of your range, not many complained about being raped because it was all about the land back then not the troops.
Reducing the land further so you can only kill at the bottom of your range is pure stupidity, it's a war game the idea is to get the most land get the most troops and kick arse not worry about whether you are being a little bit unfair. Don't you think most wars are unfair? And further more your suggestion would make it more about troops than land when that isn't the way this game was designed to be played.

Depends whether you're in a good alliance. I've seen plenty of people sit on 40k acres with nothing but flak :P

[Iamsmart]

Agreed. I know that I have always enjoyed a BR that was a closely fought affair, for example by attacking at 70-80% range or above and winning you'll get a really intensive battle, as opposed to just massing troops at someone 30% of you and winning outright without them firing or they just send away.

But then that's just me, perhaps most people these days just care about getting land and not in good old 1-on-1 dueling against someone the same score as you :D

[Moggy]

I think that what Cheese was trying to communicate was that Land > Troops is what the game was originally founded on. The game has evolved to become Troops > Land due to the introduction of new statistics and an increase in Score Queens.

There was a time, however, that the measure of a person's ability to play the game reflected in the amount of land they had, and not the number of staff they employed. :)

[Podunk]

My only complaint is they park at HQ :(

[Davis]

azzer mentioned a lot of things but how many of them happened lawl.... how many people have seen him online in the past round... people want to blame the loss of this game to the players, but in reality is all on the "owner" he has obviously gave up on this game so why shouldn't we?

[Azzer]

As I've said at the start of this round, I'm going to be working on coding until next round, and next round I'm expecting to tick off a few of the major "design directions" things that are actually dead-certs (remember some of them are just "ideals" or "ideas for inspiration", but some of them will be going in directly as I listed them).

In my 7 years of running Bushtarion (this is a long time, and a long lifespan for a game), I've found that I can either work on two things "properly";
* Making a shiny happy face on the forums and IRC every day posting in every thread and saying to the world "Hey look, I'm here, and I'm ready to hold your hand!" and everyone cheers until they find out features aren't ready for the next round and it's all "Lazy Azzer". "Community Management" - this is not what the aim of my life was and is frankly somthing you all know I'm crap at. I'm rubbish at wrapping things up in pretty words, "management speak", telling everyone how wonderful they all are and general customer service. I've never been able to bring myself to be able to communicate with people other than as a "person to person" footing rather than a "I'm a professional company you're my loyal customer" footing - I just suck at it and can't do it :P
* Get my head down and work on coding (this is what I consider my job, what I enjoy, and what I'm good at) and actually get things done a lot quicker (atm I'm working on both my big epic RPG project again, as I told people I would start working on again in a big way some time back, trying to make a final big push on completing that over the next 4 months or so, and dedicating days to Bushtarion coding in-between too), and just grit my teeth and endure all the guys and girls who need my hand-holding (see above point) to prevent them being all "Omg Azzer's abandoned us" (something I've seen and most of us have seen voiced loudly and doomsdayishly on these forums whenever I disappear for these coding patches which I seem to do like this every couple of years - I do need breaks from the constant "Oh woe is me everything is terrible" posts and really need to just get back to my roots of coding rather than community-ing at times - because those posts get you down no matter how many positive "I love the game thanks for keeping it free and advert and sponsorless all these years and enduring all the crap you can get like the persistant death threats from certain banned people" messages you get)

All this experience over time has also been making me think I need to adjust people's perspective of how this game and myself operate - and get somebody new in to the team on a more official basis. I need a "Community Manager" - an official "spokesperson" who can do all that talky talky stuff and has a direct, regular, private contact with me to keep me afoot of all goings on (tbh I already have that aspect of things from certain helpful people :D), but that I can then relay information back to and they can post up in nice tied up community style speak, and that can deal with the "community related" tasks like bannings, locks, etc.

I know for a fact that after my years of experience with Bushtarion, this is exactly how I'm going to run the RPG (and I have 2 people already lined up to help run it full time from the community side so I can do the coding and take a backseat from the community, as you'll find 90% of developers of games do), but I'm going to run it like that from day 1 so people don't have this expectation of having me posting on the forums and doing all the "one-man-band" stuff all the time (and thus no disappointment when I disappear to do the coding) - I have a feeling that the community on Bushtarion got so used to having this personal "hands on" approach from me that they won't be able to handle/accept a "Community manager/representative" figure in my place "publically" - but it's something I think I'd like to do. People don't like me being a crap "community manager", but they don't like me not showing my face either.

I don't know any people that say they actually like how I communicate with people (outside of a personal nature). And one of the largest criticisms really about me is either my hodge-podge nature of community managing, my "Oh grow up you big baby" type messages to people I can't be bothered with etc. - so I don't think people would miss anything by me taking a more permanent back seat and sticking to the code as long as we actually had an active and willing "community manager" who does talk to me all the time and is motivated enough to take on quite a lot of responsibility (ability to lock accounts in sure cases, doesn't play the game in any involved manner, doesn't get involved in "friend/social groups" so can remain unbiased in decisions) and pass messages back to you guys regularly.

Anyway I am still "here" - just sitting under the engine of Bushtarion atm rather than driving in the front seat. Or something.

[Iamsmart]

Barcode suck.

I'm solo (as per) and must of been waved by them at least 4 different times, and yeah, they piggy back the crap ones on the guys that are 300% of my score. Not to mention wiping out my INNS when i have barely any lethals. I have a PNAP as well, he tried defending me once and since the he has been on their apparent rape list, but has managed to fend them off just like I have.

So basically, they are nothing but a pain in the arse. They haven't landed on me in ages, since I got savy to their plans, and infact, i just landed over 1k acres on one of them. SO FU barcode, you suck.

[Davs]

I like the idea of a community manager, but there's no way in hell you can find someone the community respects - no offence to anyone in particular, but there are very defined cliques in the community, each with very different opinions of other prominent characters. I just see it likely that there will be one person regarded highly enough by enough of the community to be able to qualify for such a position.

I do think that someone like Martin is respected by both his adversaries and his friends.
Or someone who doesn't play FTW, like Asmodeus, so he probably hasn't pissed anyone off. After all, a community manager isn't there to tell people how to play, just to be a bridge between the community and Azzer.

Blackwolf and Twigley!!!!!

Blackwolf, he still around then?
I think BW is less active then Azzer :D

[Iamsmart]

No way @ Martin if you're looking for someone who is respected by all, he's done far too much dishonorable stuff ingame to be respected by everybody.

[Hobbezak]

kk Iamsmart, I guess I'm the only suitable candidate left then. o_0

Oh and BW is obviously not around anymore.

[Davs]

No way @ Martin if you're looking for someone who is respected by all, he's done far too much dishonorable stuff ingame to be respected by everybody.

tbh, there's no point saying anything unless someone actually applies for the job

[Iamsmart]

I only skim-read his post, but I'm pretty sure he didn't ask anybody to apply for the job?

[Weeble]

No applications will be sought as far as I'm aware. The candidate (if indeed there end up being one) will be picked by Azzer when the time is right. That time is not now!

yeah, oh yeah, we suck your uber! you took 1k land.... in 1 go? no... on a member of the barcode alliance? no... mmkay so where did you get the 1k land? oh i see, by repeat attacking somebody who we replaced. great stuff. keep up the good work, i expect to see you killing off some more of us too yeah? :)

I'm solo (as per) and must of been waved by them at least 4 different times, and yeah, they piggy back the crap ones on the guys that are 300% of my score. Not to mention wiping out my INNS when i have barely any lethals. I have a PNAP as well, he tried defending me once and since the he has been on their apparent rape list, but has managed to fend them off just like I have.

So basically, they are nothing but a pain in the arse. They haven't landed on me in ages, since I got savy to their plans, and infact, i just landed over 1k acres on one of them. SO FU barcode, you suck.

yeah, oh yeah, we suck your uber! you took 1k land.... in 1 go? no... on a member of the barcode alliance? no... mmkay so where did you get the 1k land? oh i see, by repeat attacking somebody who we replaced. great stuff. keep up the good work, i expect to see you killing off some more of us too yeah? :)

LOL i have the BR if you want.


It WAS in one go and he may not of been in your alliance but he was "defended" by a someone 300% of my score attacking me. Another pussy tactic against someone who isnt playing ftw and cant be bothered with you nerds.

You suck my uber? lrn2type.

That doesn't prove anything? It's impossible for someone 10 bil score to hit somebody 2 bil score unless the 2 bil player attacks them first. So please stop exaggerating.

I'd also suggest not posting IDs on the forums.

And to stop being such a little weeny.

Also, wtf? Those 3 people weren't even hitting you at the same time. Learn to read your own news.

How does the new feed of all the inc not prove i had inc from 3 + people, most of which are 3x times my score?

And my score was all but 3 bill, i guess i should have said 2 bill NOW.

Three of them were on the same tick, just not on the first tick.

This thread is about how Barcode suck, so if there was a place to 'be a weeny' about being raped all round but some ftw nerds them i'm assuming this would be it. No?

And why not post ID's i dont play ftw, so it really doesnt bother me.

And tbh, you should really want to hear what I have to say. This game is slowly dying, and the reason is people like me have no incentive to play what so ever.

[tobapopalos]

3 of them were on consecutive ticks with 7 mil flak. It's called a land train. Only the first one sent LETs.

And Barcodes aren't FTW as far as I know.

And you're not supposed to post IDs on forums because it's against the rules.

And we hear enough about people thinking the game is dying. Your opinion really matters jack **** (especially when all you're doing is moaning about an alliance trying to steal your land).

You know what, whatever, I couldn't really care less. I'm just another person that wont ever put another penny towards this game, so your right, what difference does my opinion make.

Just ftr, i'm not moaning about someone trying to steal my land, that's part of the game, why would I moan about that. I'm moaning about 20 odd days of be target by 15+ members of one alliance, sucking the fun out of the game for me, and bushtarion losing a paying customer for the rest of rounds to come. If you want to get on your high horse and make me out to be some whiney nobody then fine, doesn't really bother me.

edit: oh and good 'land train' then. got nothing.

Being solo is fun for you?
Join an alliance and you wont be raped by the same people who know you are an easy target.

lol see this is the catch 22 man. I've been in loads of alliance before, and because i'm not ftw, i will only get in mediocre ones (closest i got to the top was 420 last round), but eventually, people get an id list for the alliance, and you get 7 trillion inc, and no defence. Finding a good alliance is really hard when you dont play ftw. So at least solo i have a chance of ar. and yeah solo is pretty boring.

and as for the 'easy target' thing. I'm only an easy target to someone 3x my score lol. I HAD good ratios, had lots of let flak, decent landing attack setup. But thats makes no difference when you get wiped out first tick.

I wholeheartedly disagree with you. Alliances bore me as they restrict my actions. Being solo I can attack who I want, when I want in any way I want. Yes I regularly get 0'ed, but I don't play to win, I play to have fun.

[Twigley]

You disagree with me asking if he finds it fun?


I didnt say solo was boring i asked if he was finding it - then he should join an ally.
Reading properly is your friend.

a fair response, I did misread your post - but as for the last line: writing properly if your friend

Well land-trains suck, but what do you expect when 90% of the player base is barely semi-functional half-wits destined to a life on the proverbial short-bus?

I have had one noobcake (not barcode mind you) kill my LETs 3 times this round. He usually take a lot more losses than he can gain in acres or bounty, but then some junkie follows him because he/she/it can't manage to steal acres by themselves. I mean, stealing back the acres is easy, so thats not the complaint. I just find someone about my size with to much land for his own good. But why wont more players do that, rather than pussy abput hitting peeps half their size? Is it lack of skill, or a misunderstanding of the concept of a game? (I.e. something entertaining you do to feel accomplishment.)

[Ezekiel]

This what frustrates me. The way people have accepted some play styles. Enrico sort of seems to be where I am.

LAst round I joined two weeks late, tech up to As in 5 days, and attacked maybe 5 people AT LEAST double my score, landed stupid amounts of land, and finished the round just outside the portal. And I suck. These people that seem to enjoy sucking so much that get someone huge to wipe ou people in their score range are bringing the wrong atmosphere to the game, not to mention, causing grief for all us players that get gang banged every other day.

this isn't new - therre have always been players like this since I started in R15. The difference is that there are now fewer players in total, so there's just a higher proportion of these players.
