O.o | R38

[Davs]

Evidently I pay little attention to things, but what happened to Omnipotence?

[Twigley]

They got attacked by the only real ftw alliance this round and decided to disband due to members leaving, I guess.

[Dark_Angel]

Why didnt they double team Klepto with RiF?


That can't be the round decided, surely :'(

[Ogluk]

<+Ogluk> folded quicker than a piece of paper in the hands of an origami master

as for 2v1ing the scores were so close at the time that it wasnt really justified or needed
Klepto were/are just more committed and capable compared to Omni
and ya know, RIF we dont care who wins, a shame that Omni couldnt stay together and fight things out lower down is all, weak!

[Dark_Angel]

Not all about score, though, nobody could blame Omni for getting help from RiF if Klepto were overwhelmingly more organised/determined.

I'd have thought they'd last longer though, tbh, that has to be one of the most hassle-free wins for a rank 1 alliance.

[LuckySports]

At the time, Omni had a higher troop score than Klepto, they lacked coordination and determination though..

It really is a shame they didn't put up more of a fight.. :( Kinda takes the fun out of fighting for a win..

[Dimitar]

first time that's happened

[Davis]

I'll tell the story from my side (being one of the 4 Co-Leaders (dumbest idea ever) of Omni) If you saw Klepto's line up compaired to ours that would explain most of it, sure we had a lot of FTW players, but we also had a lot of randoms that we picked up from ingame recruiting, forums, and so on.

Now to the actual fall.

I wasn't online for any of it which really sucks, because my ex (we're still close) calls me, bawling, talking about how she's going to kill herself and how no one cares about her anymore, so I get in my car and start the 2 hour drive to go see her, as i leave i get the text "We're getting massed get online" I do my best to send defense from my phone, but as I didn't have hacks or the ability to do any organizing while driving (over the speed limit as i was afraid she really would kill herself) I wasn't much help. Also the first wave they sent as most of us were out attacking CU, so our only real option was Retal, which went *okay* but not really anything great. They non stop waved us with (what looked like 20 players to me) for the entire day and then about 15 players all night and then 20 all through the next day, we were not prepared and as soon as people started losing land they stopped showing up to defend, there was very little oranization, so people would all just real one place because they didn't want to lose troops, leaving everyone else to lose land. basically after the first person left, everyone just followed, by the time i got home from my Ex's we were 11/20 and had lost 40k land

So I'm not sure exactly what happened, other than great timing, and very poor/little/no organization on our part.

[ZigZag]

now down to 3/20 shameful

[LuckySports]

You also forgot to mention you were behind on techs.. That played a crucial factor.. The retal was a decent idea, but it was poorly planned/executed with your poms not blocking land like they should have, and sent too early, so we had time to recall a few attacks so we could defend a bit.

Tbh, I was disappointed with the lack of fight.. Hero made himself obvious as usual.. I had him picked out by the 2nd attack, and I wasn't even sure he had joined yall.


The round is no where near over yet.. Perhaps someone will come up out of nowhere?

[Twigley]

It was over the moment your only competition wasnt really any competition in all honesty.

[Davis]

We were only behind on our Military routes, and that is due to haveing to get randoms as every true FTW player was in your ally (other thank like 5-6) our PoMs and SA's were on par/slightly ahead.

also hero always plays the same, and he only plays for himself, which is 100% why i was completely against him joining, however we needed at least some people that knew what they were doing.

[LuckySports]

Yeah, your military routes are what I was thinking of.. ^_^ and a few of your robos were a bit behind us aswell.

Hard to find a lot of FTW players nowadays.. getting 20 together wasn't easy.. took 4-5 people that knew people who would play FTW :P taking people from every ally.

Yeah, it was all the defense on hero that gave him away.. We never attacked him and didn't get mass defense.. Fake or real, there was a lot of it.. And the way he attacked, sending after all the defense had been drawn away from the other mobs.. I really don't understand how he could think we WOULDN'T figure out it was him?

[Dimitar]

Maybe he wasn't trying to hide

[Razorwolf]

And the way he attacked, sending after all the defense had been drawn away from the other mobs.. I really don't understand how he could think we WOULDN'T figure out it was him?

maybe it wasnt the fact that it was hero, but more the fact he had the most land to lose that he was being defended most?

Also, the whole reason it went down hill was the fact you guys had too much armor and we had no real armor killers at that stage... so as i saw it, we got mass incomming... most people didnt bother coming online to defend in the first place. at night we had at best half refreshing and yet again only half of them defending. im just sorry my rpgs hdnt finished in time before we really started getting hit hard.

[LuckySports]

Maybe he wasn't trying to hide

According to someone that was in omni at the time, he was extremely pissed that we knew who he was, and was trying to claim that we had a spy.. :P

And my point was that, THAT was how we knew it was hero.. :P You should read up a few posts before responding, it looks like your defending a stance that was never attacked..
Defense was expected, he got so much of it, just like he did in Alpha last round, getting mass defense to overwhelm any potential attackers, EVERY single time.. The selfishness is a dead give away, I've never played with anyone that bad about it.

No anti-armor is sucky, slacking on Devs is a nasty issue.

[Razorwolf]

you know, i can only remember once when we were told to defend hero and that was along with three other ids... if he got overwhelming defense it was because the defense was badly organised :P problem was people just sent to the same id's without spreading out the fakes etc.... cant see how you can claim he was being selfish when he had nothing to do about it.

Seriously you guys attack hero so much, yet he hardly does half the crap you say about him, as like last round with recon being kicked for rank one. that was crap too, maybe you should just ask recon the real story :P

oh and if you waited only half a day we woulda had armor killers D: it was just bad timing for us

[Silence]

oh and if you waited only half a day we woulda had armor killers D: it was just bad timing for us

Don't care about the hero bashing. If he was sending defence probably would have changed the outcome but he probably had he reasons. I assumed he probably was busy. So i put inc there to try and stress that, thats how I saw it. Might have been wrong who knows. Regardless this doesn't matter

Bad timing is a way of alleviating the issue that perhaps it may have been good timing by the opposition? Recon and I considered when would be the best time to hit, we thought we were ahead on tech, so we hit when we had an advantage. We went for it because the alliance had insane activity, the kind I have not seen since I played in Second To None.

Those who were in my alliance this round or in Second To None (which I often say as the most fun I've had in an alliance) will know that such activity interests me to play more so Omni were doomed to suffer attacks all night XD


But it is a shame at the lack of grace Kleptomaniacs members have shown. We have come across as bad winners. There was no *serious* competition. The alliance was on another level to the others (which is a shame as an interesting war is good fun)

Im looking forward to the challenges which will be created later in the round

Thanks for at least a weeks worth of fun. Twigleys alliance was the most interesting and entertaining! Im jealous im not there!

i dislike you as you dislike me but i agree second 2 none was a fun alliance and Klepto were the best alliance and that is why they are where they are, would like too see every alliance that has a chance too resist them but looks doubtful

[Dax]

Luls aplenty. 20 established players destroy an alliance of a solid core and some randoms - Who could of possibly thought it?

[Godsend9701]

Resistance is Futile

suicide FTW :D

[LuckySports]

Luls aplenty. 20 established players destroy an alliance of a solid core and some randoms - Who could of possibly thought it?

Not like we could have known they were randoms. Far as I knew they were 20 players who planned on playing serious FTW.

Why so serious? Merely stating that being shocked about it is stupid.

[LuckySports]

and I was merely stating that i expected more from them.. :P

just a simple comment,.. 2 sentences in fact! and Im pretty sure one of them is a fragment.

[Razorwolf]

Just making a point... The randoms that joined with hero actually happened to be the ones with the most land in the ally and seemed to me to have alot more activity as opposed to some of the more established players....

[Alcibiades]

That's because established players are tired, bored and have nothing to prove.

[Razorwolf]

Nah, if they are lazy and slacking off they hardly should be in a ftw ally then should they. Just because they are 'established' players doesn't mean others should have to hold them up... Its not a matter of proving anything. I just didn't like the fact thar the excuse the ally failed was because we had randoms...

[Alcibiades]

I agree they shouldn't be in a FTW ally. I was just stating the usual reasons for lazy experienced players.

[Twigley]

Some of the best players I ever led have been people I've never spoken to before. The ones that havnt been In a top 3 ally before, never get involved on the forums or public Chan and have that real hunger to do well and listen which some of us oldies have lost.

Some examples of the random recruits that I've never played with but come accross really well are:

Quicksilver, neteek, aaugh, Quitus, masterjack, monster_dog, joe2727, dre to name a few off the top of my head.

I'd much rather these players than an inactive or hard to contact oldie who is living off past accomplishments and not contributing to the current ally. Polo is one of if not the greastet players that ever played yet the last time I played with him he was lazy, inactive, disinterested and very difficult.

Not saying all established players suck though haha. Sometimes just having em around helps with their knowledge about long term planning, throwing random tips about.


On a totally unrelated note, I wish people would take a good 10 or so people they've never heard of before Into their allies, as long as they seem competent when talking to em, and go at it that way.
This round i havnt really done that but the ally is starting to look that way. Will continue to do what i done I'm the past in the future with nurturing players with my pointless rages that stop them from messing up in that particular way :-D

I'm rambling now lolol wtf thread is this?

[Iamsmart]

the same old thread you boast about what an awesome leader you are and how everybody should be just like twigley because you take on new players and help the game so much because you're an angel thread (apparently)

[Twigley]

Thanks for your input, cnut, but we already know I'm the most amazing leader ever who never made a mistake or lost. Oh wait nobody thinks that.

And yea imo people shud take on new players because I do think it helps the game. I've often seen people wanting more of this or suggesting game mechanics to make it happen, trying to organise alliances before hand, but it rarely materialises.

Good troll, faggot

[Iamsmart]

I learned from the best.

[LuckySports]

I hadn't heard of 1/2 these people in my ally before last round.. :P and this is the first time playing with 3/4 of them.. Thats a start ^_^

I don't mind a few players that more or less mooch off the ally, as long as the contribute in SOME way..

[Dax]

Finding new players that want to play alot aren't hard to find, if you are genuinely willing to give them a chance. In most cases, some people get far too impatient with them and start abusing them. I won't mention names, but I don't think there would be many surprises if I did.
Everyone started somewhere, at the end of the day - I've always tried to take on new people, and teach them how to play. A few have gone on to be active players, others haven't. It's the way the cookie crumbles - But more emphasis is needed to be made on alliances, IRC, and the forums than there is currently.
There are lots of players out there in the low ranks that are just drifting with no help, that could be filling inactive alliances, or going on to be in bigger and more active ones.

TUTORIAL UPDATES, PLEASE.

[tobapopalos]

I don't like recruiting people I don't know because the likelyhood seems to be that they will turn out to be incompetent, lazy, rude or just generally ****.

[Spiky Spoon]

Iirc you recruited me when you didn't know me. But then that was back when you could have a good solid alliance where the members would stick around for the full round. There's too many players that just abandon alliances at the first sign of getting massed.

You should learn to ignore people like that then.. Attention seekers is all they are :P


Teaching new players can be rough, since they all learn at a different pace, and few people are patient enough for them.. Teaching was never my strong point but I do tend to have a bit more patience than most people, so I tell all the new players I deal with to just mail me if they have a question.. ^_^

In fairness to toby, he's tried several times in the past to help new players, and more-or-less every single one of them has ignored everything he said and just been abusive to him.

It is true, and there's been a few public ones within IRC, too. The game is in some areas difficult to grasp, and when an experienced player gives a hand - People think there must be an easier way, etc etc.
Generally speaking, there isn't. I've always believed personal trial and error is the best way to learn - Help is nice for the basics (the uses of harvesters, the best land to use, the concepts of weather, and what some of the base units do such as SGT, and the like), but when you delve into ratios, armour-stripping, and the like - Their interest will wane. The fun is in finding this out for yourself, and if you become unstuck, then some help is always nice.

Aye it's true. I've been there for many of them and have been subjected to lots of personal abuse from new players who think they know better.

By now it's just a waste of my time to help new players. Not that I should be teaching anyone anyways since I'm complete rubbish lol.

Actually, this is a very good point. Giving people the basics is a good start. From there they basically need to learn the game themselves. I don't mind sharing ratios and stuff, but giving the generalist of concepts seems to help people learn the game and stick around. What's the fun in being handed the answers to the test and then flunking? Unless you somehow end up in the top ally, the new players get extremely frustrated by being beaten down over and over by their anti-routes.

and 30 was hardly competitive, TBA took the top, resistance attacked, they moved members about, resistance failed >.>

Rofl - I just saw the alliance standings on a friends' phone, and it's appalling. Top ten used to be a relatively competent alliances' place, now it's just for anyone who can fill an alliance. Then before that it was first page...
Sad times, people.

It's been like that for at least ten rounds. It isn't exactly a new phenomenon.

this is true.. Its been like that for AT LEAST the last 3 rounds, Sinces those are the ones I've played recently.. :P

Right now, R1 is bigger than damn near all the other alliances combined.. maybe more.. The game has declined dangerously..

TBA is probably the least competitive round from around that time. Round 31 was competitive with at least 4 good alliances, round 32 was competitive for a while, round 33 was very competitive with Asphyxia/GC/NOMW.

And I was playing in rank 7 alliance that round - We had a brilliant time fighting with about 6/7 other alliances, and having the occasional larger incomings. Whilst alot of you may of had a crap round, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

On the subject of this round, I'm trying to confirm something a friend has a fear about; Is Recon kick-raping people to steal the rank 1 stealer award? If so, that is extremely lame.

I didn't say the round wasn't fun, I said it wasn't competitive. Of course fun is entirely subjective so what is fun for some is not for others. I also enjoyed that round bounty hunting with RPGs in EH when we had 0 nigh****ch players and everyone had to hit sleep by midnight or die, but that does not blind me to the fact that in terms of competition it was a poor round.

I remember being the bane of MattM's attempt at being nightcover in that round :P
All I wanted was to kill his Vamps :(

Not that I'm aware of. K/R is due to inactivity/lack of logging on.

No worries, it's worth asking about if someone is suspecting of it, though.

Mass PBs ftw!! :P
'twas a fairly fun round, and sleep mode wasn't entirely necessary. Luck was far more useful imo :P

I'll definitely second that point.

The only active person K/R'd tried to create a rift in the ally so we could split.. :P
