round 43 - ANQ|FL|HC love triangle

[willymchilybily]

please remeber my views and opinions are my own i have no say in what the alliance im in does, i do advise if asked or feel its going in the wrong direction. but i dont make decisions.
Within the space of 1 week;

Dimension + HC hit ANQ.
ANQ hit HC twice alone and stole 10k+ each time.
FL + HC hit ANQ.
ANQ hit HC again alone but got retals from FL.
FL + Some of HC hit ANQ.
FL hit ANQ.

Rank 1 and 2 wont hit each other.
Rank 3 cant hit rank 2 because rank 1 counters.
(Before you say well we havnt been rank 3 for long ... when we were rank 2 we couldnt hit rank 3 before rank 1 counters too. And we have irc logs from disgruntled members who hate how lame their leadership is being.)
It's like de ja vu when Angela / Lucky / Hero / Dax are about!

The worst part is FL are claiming that they don't want ANQ to be rank 1 because they would find it hard to rush them. So what are you going to do?

* Try kill ANQ.
* Then suicide so HC are rank 1?

Rubbish you want the win and will powerblock with HC to ensure ANQ dont spoil it for you.

You're either wanting the rank 1 for yourselfs or if you dont want us on top then youre going to suicide on HC and let them win. So then why have 2 of your members to me and 1 to another one of mine saying stuff like they will hit HC soon etc? It makes no sense. It can't be both things. Say something and stick to it.

It seems you're saying 1 thing on here one week while a different thing in private and then a week later it's switched around.



You do also realise when an alliance has been 2 v 1'ed since the start by different alliances ... if you do an attack a day after by yourself it doesn't really make it a 1 v 1. That alliance has been under fire from you and your pals just before so launching a wave alone doesn't make it any less of a 2 v 1.

Edit; The really sad thing is that the worst alliance of the 3 (IMO and probally most of the other peoples) are just sitting there getting land and will most likely win it even after being the lamest (Imo). (Someone locked the other thread so had nowhere else to post this)

twigs im not sure if you are doing the whole politics thing and what not to add to the excitement. but you must realise how easily both FL and ANQ route set ups could if we really wanted give HC an incredibly hard time. as for the 2v1 its been stopped since last friday. i wasnt on for the counter to your attacks.

but its logical to not let you get back your acres from HC whilst they were small if we dont want you at rank 1 until it inevitably happens later in the round. i even posted at the time we stopped 2v1, and as we werent attacking them ourselves due to a cooldown period after the 2v1 the logical thing to do was at that time to counter.

troop scores:

FL - 51,545,000,000
ANQ - 51,616,000,000
HC - 37,113,000,000

land scores
FL - 12,800,000,000
ANQ - 7,200,000,000
HC - 12,800,000,000

I even disagreed with the idea of stopping the 2v1 if we didnt want you rank 1. you guys are blatently able to win still. and the tables will clearly turn soon enough. if you are still paranoid about FL counters to your attacks why not try it and see. you tried once and had one counter back when the troop scores were as above. i dont make decisions but you think thats still continuing now?

i dont see why you are so scared of the "worst alliance of the 3" who havent even managed to attack you or anyone else on thier own according to martin. taking a lead currently.

look at the land and troop scores again now and its still pretty damn close:

Land score
HC - 18,050,000,000
ANQ - 11,250,000,000
FL - 14,450,000,000

Troop score
HC - 69,769,000,000
ANQ -67,044,000,000
FL - 67,979,000,000

and the real values are even closer I bet thanks to the one guy with 18k acres in HC giving them a very high land score indeed.

i say its still open and all to play for. you have some of the most determind players and best planners. we have alot of lazy vets. and Hc has a few newbs and oldies with only 1 or 2 experienced planners. its still anyones round imo. and still got alot of fun left. maybe im not seeing what you're seeing and maybe 2v1 has worn you guys out and damaged moral? but i think its still all good in the hood for any one who wants it enough to win. and we still do not want to win. (unless i didnt get the lets go 'FTW' memo, and FL suicided alot of their score on you accidently :O)

ps. feel free to retort in this nice shiny new discussion thread. hopefully br thread will remains as a BR thread

[Polo]

as for the 2v1 its been stopped since last friday.

When did Monday get renamed to Friday?

[n0c0ntr0l]

as for the 2v1 its been stopped since last friday.

When did Monday get renamed to Friday?

03:20am tuesday actually. The 2v1 will go on as long as it seems convinient.

[Caranthir]

... as for the 2v1 its been stopped since last friday. i wasnt on for the counter to your attacks. ...



Just because you weren't on, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

[Elevnos]

A few people sent. That's all, it was nothing planned. Because you guys are getting so worked up about it, and saying things like 'We're the best because the other players can only 2v1 us', just annoyed the other alliances. If people didn't have anything against half of ANQ, it probably wouldn't have been seen as an option at all. So what if two alliances sent some attacks against you? It's stopped now and it hasn't been happening anymore, it's just an overreaction to say it was still going on. If you're so FTF, why do you care so much? If you wanted to sit below rank 1 and rush them, then stop complaining when you do end up below rank 1! ANQ hasn't been destroyed beyond disrepair, they've just lost quite a bit of land and only a few troops, until recently when FL alone attacked.
Everyone seems to be arguing that a FTW alliance should do everything it takes to win, so why complain when that happens? Yeah, maybe we missed a few opportunities to attack, and a few bad decisions were made. At least it means the round is still close now and a lot can happen! It's not a powerblock, just a ceasefire. It's not lasting for the entire round or anything anywhere near that. If we were a powerblock you'd have incoming every night to the point when you'd stop bothering to play. The intention never was to remove anybody from contention, and that hasn't been done anyway!

[Dax]

It's not personal... At all. You're just my infinite trollbait. Like it or hate it, you're feeding me.
That's cool by my account - It gives me an inflated sense of purpose within the community, to irritate a group of some of the games most experienced and decorated members with what could be said to be 'low' tactics (that you yourselves have employed countless times anyway). I've been on the receiving end of a fair bit of it over the past 6 years, so why should I feel guilty? Answer: I don't. Not even a bit. Not a sausage.

I literally don't have a personal issue with any of you - I've played alongside some of you - Those that have, actually know that my apparently hilarious murmurings are actually something I do perfectly consciously. I don't hold personal grudges over a game either, it is infinitely sad. So just get along, and have a few BR's, like the good Lord intended this game to be played.

Your endless complaining only makes me pity you guys more. Imagine how the smaller alliances feel with ~60 people clambering all over them for easy land? Most either don't remember, or haven't experienced that.

[willymchilybily]

... as for the 2v1 its been stopped since last friday. i wasnt on for the counter to your attacks. ...



Just because you weren't on, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

i did also say....the logical thing to do is to stop you landing the land fat and weakend HC and getting your acres back before they had a bit of time to grow, else the whole 2v1 would have been pointless. anyway whats done is done. im not justifying it. just saying its not like Hc have won the round yet or are miles ahead. and 2v1 is over whether or not people ask friends to help since friday, the mass 2v1 alliance planned incoming ended a while ago. no need to milk it :P

[Garrett2]

'a few people sent, nothing planned' how ignorant are you or do you think others are? if you send together, you planned (even if 5 seconds before hand) to send.

quit the circle jerking and 'i'm innocent and people are dying around me'

the holy grail said it best when I quote 'GET ON WITH IT!'

[willymchilybily]

yeah garett, just like they were claiming our big battle against them we got the person with all those hooligans (avash?) to help...and even that was not alone. and was 2v1. no one told the guy ****. and until Cf pointed it out with irc logs that was on thier books as another 2v1 moment.. one random joins in may as well have been a solo piggying and they claim 2v1 and you think its "planned". as if.

i didnt even notice he was thier until the br. i was looking at the defence and didnt even realise we had additional help. it made no difference to the decision to stay and as far as i know happened without a single member of FL asking for help or even mentioning it in passing!! calling this 2v1 or planned help just cheapens thier real achievemnt of not dying and keeping score and playing very well when the real 2v1 was going at them.

you want to talk of ignorance, ignorant would be to believe that we did 2v1 thursday and friday claiming 20k acres and knocking them to rank 2. then suddenly the 2v1 kept going but they magically managed to fend us off. and we have been going at them since hell for leather. fair do's though if i was them i would have milked it for all its worth too.

ps. you even playing this round or just giving an outsiders perspective with absolutly no relevant round 43 context to base it on?..... just curious

[LuckySports]

The 2v1 ended on Friday. I know this because I ended it. There were no more joint-planned attacks between the alliances after that. The proof is in your own news. Compare the sends when we were together to how they have gone since then. There is no comparison. I know your just unhappy because you appear to be locked down by 2 alliances (even though only 1 of them has really done any real work since then) but that is no reason to make things up in order to try to get some pity. I know many of your players enough to know what you are capable of. I've been *****ed at by several folks on both sides for ending the 2v1 before yall were ground down unable to fight back. Don't think it could happen? Imagine those attacks every 15 ticks on the dot for a week. (possible if we wanted to force folks to play Ftw :P)

I suggest you stop whining about what isn't there, if you want to know what Our policy is, feel free to message me in-game anytime. I'm happy to talk to you about it like adults.

[Twigley]

People are obviously not going to mail you, LS.
That's also one of the worst things you can do when discussions like this are going on - "mail me and talk to me like adults". I've seen that line used so much and it sucks!

This politics thread is a vent and discussion that we can have between us and by normal standards its "adult speak" between the majority.

You kinda know something is up when even Alci agrees with me and Garrett is flaming in the opposite direction

._ .
Im sure it would feel nicer if nobody talked about it and you swept it under the carpet.

[Alcibiades]

Better the Devil you can reason with, than the nincompoop you can't! ;)

[tobapopalos]

You can add me to that list :P


There is currently a powerblock against Funkaphilia. The top 3 alliances are clearly working together to limit our effectiveness and stop us from storming the ranks. There are rules against this kind of thing. However, I'm a reasonable sort of chap and I'll give you all one day to admit defeat and disband your alliances before I execute THE MASTERPLAN.

You have been warned.

[Angela]

As always with any kind of love triangle people are going to be hurt feelings bruised and people moan, but just because they can moan the loudest doesnt mean they are right.

ps And you will always get 3 different versions of the love triangle and in it none of them ever say its there own fault.

[tobapopalos]

How exactly do you moan loudly using text?

When you want to make a point, speak the plain English. Don't drive around the house in a little car.

[willymchilybily]

lol i really dont think alcibiades and toby are entirely on your side cos of the political arguing going on, I think they like to piss off hamilton, and hamilton is on our side :P

Bless the guyf, i remeber when i first joined the forums. i had to respond to every post, even if no one cared what i had to say.(not much has changed) he'll learn sometimes the best response is nothing, actions speak louder than words.

Though all ANQ members should feel free to keep enticing FL members. keep trolling the members of FL who wanted to stop the 2v1 in the first place, keep annoying the people who were in your corner, or have friends in your alliance, or respected you guys too much to wanna gang up any more. keep annoying those that said thats enough on friday, lets play fair again, no need to bash them into nothing.. please do. send more FL members over to the band wagon of "sod it lets just go and 2v1 these moaning ninnys, and give them real hardship and unfairness to complain about, and deal with the consequences of a smug dax afterwards." ....in fact knowing how democratic we are as an alliance i would love to see the outcome if you did keep moaning over split milk

After all If we are being accused still, then nothing will change if we kept up the 2v1....that would be the logical conclusion. We could go 2v1 tonight for example, and if we have really done it so prolifically already, it would be no different from the previous 4 days? ....if you believe that then just keep flamming our members and whining like little girls, and making these stupid 2v1 claims over every little incoming that gets piggied.

isnt it enough to know that you had to be 2v1'd to be beaten, and are potentially the best alliance? why does a FTF alliance want anything more than that?

[Twigley]

You already answered your own questions for me.

If i was leading FTW you wouldn't have seen a single ANQ member post anything on here.
You wouldn't have seen n0c0 make a thread declaring war.
No member would have posted anything bar me.
That's how i used to run my FTW allies.

The fact is we are not FTW...

So my members can slate any alliance all they want. Especially when they have good reason to. Calling them whiners is poor showing when you see what they are "whining" about and then saying you're now the "honourable" ones after getting yourself into a better position dishonourably LOL.

Will that keep 2 alliances powerblocked against us?
It would be another straw to clutch at to justify the 2 v 1 and is pretty laughable that you wrote that paragraph at all.

Must be great now youve 2 v 1'ed an alliance, that was previously 2 v 1'ed by your powerblock friends, that you can sit on more land untill the weekend with a snap on the other top alliance. Now all thats going to happen is you will have got your lead unfairly (imo) and will try 1 v 1 someone and then be all like "See we 1 v 1'ed you by ourselfs!!!".

Damage has been done this round ¬_¬

We wont give up though and will make life very difficult for whichever alliance decides to take a pop even if you do get on level with our troops. Shame on thee

[Steve_God]

How exactly do you moan loudly using text?
By having in in bold... or underlined... or colour... or bigger...

But more frequently here, by using more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more text - typically over multiple posts :P

[Alcibiades]

Slightly more on topic

From the perspective of the Funkiest alliance on the block (who also happen to rank 4) ANQ hasn't massed us or bashed us at all, unlike the other 2 of the most active allies. So that would certainly rank them as a better ally in my books. Just my two cents. FL and HC are rapidly earning a spot on my list for insensible repeated bashing attacks. I'm voting for ANQ for the win, until Funkaphilia activates the MASTERPLAN of course.

*pokes bear(s)*

[tobapopalos]

I think they like to piss off hamilton, and hamilton is on our side :P


This isn't true. I respond to what I see as idiocy from Hamilton, sure, but my opinions of this round have nothing to do with him. I don't even know, or care, what alliance he is in. HC and FL are pretty much interchangeable as far as I'm concerned.

I think ANQ are the best alliance because of the way they have acted ingame this round. They are the only ones willing to try and take down the competition alone rather than trying to land farm smaller alliances and trying to 2 v 1.

They beat HC fairly easily, it seemed to me, and it was only because of a well-timed resistance when the scores were relatively close (HC and FL had roughly a 50% advantage iirc) which stopped them from running away with it.

And, this is a more personal beef, ANQ haven't sent any waves on us at all, whereas FL and HC have done quite a few. Sure, we're the 4th ranked alliance, but we're still only like 25% of your score. It is unnecessary and is only going to force more people to quit when they get bashed by overwhelming forces over and over again with no real hope of things improving. If you're all so not ftw then chill out with the ridiculous waves on targets barely into your 30% range.

[Garrett2]

No! Please don't make me quit again. I'll be a good boy. I'll go ftw. Stop beating me. I can play from phone. Me love ftw long time! :'(:'(:'(:'(:'(:'(

[willymchilybily]

...saying you're now the "honourable" ones after getting yourself into a better position dishonourably LOL.

i dont think I ever called our alliance or tactics honourable. I dont think a single alliance has ever been honourable or could ever be honourable when going 2v1 and suceeding. Im just trying to emphasize you guys exagerate, and we havent exactly been in FTW total war mode, crush ANQ 2v1 til there is nothing left. but you guys seem to genuinely think it has been, or are exagerating. so i feel i have to exagerate back to make a point
...
Will that keep 2 alliances powerblocked against us?
It would be another straw to clutch at to justify the 2 v 1 and is pretty laughable that you wrote that paragraph at all.
and although my paragraph may have seemed laughable to you i genuinely saw people contemplating it! the attitude **** it...lets give them something to moan about. People i never thought would have that attitude, getting annoyed by all the shinanigans. If not for the realisation that a proper 2v1 versus rank 3 was plain riddiculous who knows what might have happened. but it was getting to the point of a bushtarion frankenstien. call some one monster enough you never know what they may end up doing.

[Dax]

"sod it lets just go and 2v1 these moaning ninnys, and give them real hardship and unfairness to complain about, and deal with the consequences of a smug dax afterwards."

Damn, he saw right through my ACME façade machine.

They have nothing truly worth whining about. My ally was bashed by every ally early on because our names had a theme.

Podunk led DiP last round that had the same treatment.

Neither ally publicly complained about this.. but your ally gets in a 2v1 situation where both alliances combined are probably about 125-130% your troop score (at best) and all of a sudden its the most unfair thing to happen in the history of bush. Sounds like a bunch of drama queens to me.


Will that keep 2 alliances powerblocked against us?
It would be another straw to clutch at to justify the 2 v 1 and is pretty laughable that you wrote that paragraph at all.

If we were really going to powerblock you, it would be in massive attacks that would continue even now (instead of ending last weekend.. ) and you would be a lot further down the ranks.. Even if we never manage to kill your offliners.. No land = no growth. I don't like to do anything 1/2 assed. Calling this a power-block is silly (to say it nicely).



Must be great now youve 2 v 1'ed an alliance, that was previously 2 v 1'ed by your powerblock friends, that you can sit on more land untill the weekend with a snap on the other top alliance. Now all thats going to happen is you will have got your lead unfairly (imo) and will try 1 v 1 someone and then be all like "See we 1 v 1'ed you by ourselfs!!!".


First off - There was 1 attack from HC and Dimension, it was still sad because HC was almost the exact same size as you, but it was 1 attack, it's time to get over it.
2ndly - We 1v1'd dimension before we came anywhere near you.. We were smaller than them, and we smashed them. That is where we got most of our land.
3rdly - Up until HC's attack on you earlier today, we had less troop score than HC, if we decided to fight them 1v1, it would be none of your business, and it would be a fair fight (generally speaking). So we could fight them and say we fought a 1 on 1 fight fairly.


Damage has been done this round ¬_¬

We wont give up though and will make life very difficult for whichever alliance decides to take a pop even if you do get on level with our troops. Shame on thee


No one would expect anything else. Though I assume you mean which alliance takes a real lead.. According to you, you can't "attack" because of the "powerblock", and this "powerblock" would need to end before you could make life difficult on anyone.. :P


People are obviously not going to mail you, LS.
That's also one of the worst things you can do when discussions like this are going on - "mail me and talk to me like adults". I've seen that line used so much and it sucks!

Politics is a Discussion thread, not a gripe thread. If they want to gripe, take it to the appropriate forum. My offer to explain our policies is probably the best thing that can be offered. Anyone that truly cared about the situation and wasn't just moaning would take me up on the offer to understand the thought process behind it.

It is kind of silly for me to assume there are any other adults on this thread. Thanks for pointing that out, I will be sure to remember that in the future. <--- might be a bit mean but I'm leaving it there.. It's more true than false.

I'll direct this at toby as well.

You haven't been massed much by FL this round. At most you have seen some "Hey, I'm gonna hit this guy, here's his allies, send along if you want" Which would include 4-5 folks on a good showing. 1 of which has almost always been a puppet. It seems kind of silly to complain about that when the R4 ally (at the time) was getting real masses from the top 3 allies simultaneously for the first week of the round. (Not just random sends..)

And you have been massed A LOT LESS than any of the other alliances in the top.. (Dimension included even though they are nearly broken apart at this point) And that is excluding Flak wars, where the difference would be even bigger. We haven't organized many waves outside of ANQ and Dimension this round at all infact.. And none since we started fighting Dimension over a week ago.


I tried to make all the responses logical and mostly unbiased (though that is impossible to completely achieve since I do take it somewhat personal when lies are spouted about my ally and its members), and I think it did a pretty decent job considering the material I had to work with.

Hey look, Lucky is spouting nonsense again! 4-5 Folks, about 400% our size, is a pretty big mass for an alliance that is (at this particular moment) 80bill score behind FL. Even if we got our entire alliance on (which never, ever happens) we'd still be badly out numbered, so while it might not be a detailed planned mass, it's still pretty damned lame :P

Of course we've been massed less than the other allies, we never said we were massed more, just that ANQ hasn't done it, and FL and HC have, and that that is why we like ANQ, and detest FL and HC. Dimension tried to play FTW, and got burned, which is completely different to our situation. The top three allies raping, or trying to rape (since some of us are out of range, or have nothing worth raping :P) a rank 4 alliance, many times smaller than them is just crap, as you well know Lucky ;)

[LuckySports]

So, you love Rage Quiters because they have never attacked you? :P Great logic!

Based on that logic, FL should by extension, Hate HC, ANQ, Dimension, Funky, and probably 2-3 other allies too..

We don't hate anyone (that I'm aware of) Though, not even mildly dislike.. I do dislike certain members of certain alliances, but that's mostly because they are hypocrites.

(Hard to communicate online, but that's mostly done in an up-beat way.. so when you take offense at something.. I AM going to laugh at you, whoever you may be.. just saying)

Are you deliberately being dense? I'm obviously talking about the allies that are capable of waving us. That would be FL, HC, and ANQ. Dimension might possibly be able to put the effort in, but I doubt it. So of the three allies that can bash/wave us, 2 of them have, while one of them hasn't. As a result most of us have warm fuzzy feelings of friendliness to ANQ, and sharper, more angular feelings of unfriendliness to HC and FL. Stop being so dense, you knew what I meant, and you knew exactly why I meant it. So it's probably best if you don't make yourself look more foolish ;)

You and your ally are free to hate anyone you want, I'm not particularly fussed about what you guys want to do as an alliance. We dislike people who bash at their 30% and 35% range, you dislike whoever you want to dislike. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

EDIT: LS I find it amusing that everytime we find ourselves on the opposing sides of a discussion, you rarely ever address what I've said; and instead focus on one tiny point, blow it up out of all sensible proportion, and spout nonsense about it. It's an interesting debate technique :P

You know, I originally was throwing LS in the dirt, but I've decided to edit my post because he does it enough himself.

No one believes what anyone posts in these threads anyway. Every post is to make ones self sleep better at night.

[LuckySports]

So, you love Rage Quiters because they have never attacked you? :P Great logic!

Based on that logic, FL should by extension, Hate HC, ANQ, Dimension, Funky, and probably 2-3 other allies too..

We don't hate anyone (that I'm aware of) Though, not even mildly dislike.. I do dislike certain members of certain alliances, but that's mostly because they are hypocrites.

(Hard to communicate online, but that's mostly done in an up-beat way.. so when you take offense at something.. I AM going to laugh at you, whoever you may be.. just saying)

Are you deliberately being dense? I'm obviously talking about the allies that are capable of waving us. That would be FL, HC, and ANQ. Dimension might possibly be able to put the effort in, but I doubt it. So of the three allies that can bash/wave us, 2 of them have, while one of them hasn't. As a result most of us have warm fuzzy feelings of friendliness to ANQ, and sharper, more angular feelings of unfriendliness to HC and FL. Stop being so dense, you knew what I meant, and you knew exactly why I meant it. So it's probably best if you don't make yourself look more foolish ;)

You and your ally are free to hate anyone you want, I'm not particularly fussed about what you guys want to do as an alliance. We dislike people who bash at their 30% and 35% range, you dislike whoever you want to dislike. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

EDIT: LS I find it amusing that everytime we find ourselves on the opposing sides of a discussion, you rarely ever address what I've said; and instead focus on one tiny point, blow it up out of all sensible proportion, and spout nonsense about it. It's an interesting debate technique :P

So, because I do to you what you do to everyone its nonsense? You continue to fail to be reasonable. We find ourselves on opposite sides so often because your first reaction is to resort to sarcasm on everything, instead of explaining anything. I've at least made the attempt to make my point understood instead of just trolling you over and over. (I can always pull a twigley and just post a pointless picture)

I'm merely saying that this is a war game, and disliking someone entirely for the reason that they attacked you is foolish. Your inability to grasp that after all the time you have played this game is indicative of other failures. Besides which, we are not 800% of your score, and the 4-5 folks that CAN attack you are our smaller members anyway. If you want a reason to complain, grow a bit, but joining a mostly-inactive alliance and expecting to never get attacked is unreasonable.


Toby - My grasp of logic is better than most... The inability to understand the meaning behind the words is where most folks fail in the understanding portion of their reading. You might want to work on that bit. I understood what Alci was saying, and was merely pointing out (in exaggeration) that it was a ridiculous notion. If you were unable to understand that then that is your fault.

Garett - No idea who you are but you are welcome to attempt to troll me. I can't promise I won't flame you back though. I've merely attempted to correct the lies that have been spread. I hate liars.. with a passion. I have even had to leave responding until I've had time to edit out all the insults.

think hes married? to lady dark angel, or something. (the female dark angel not the male one). if he is the original garett. sounds alot like him. but thought he had stopped playing...though his previous sarcastic post seems to indicate otherwise

welcome back i guess...if its another garett then yeah havent heard of you ... i see alot of non Fl/HC/ANQ people posting...its fair enough if funkaphila prefer ANQ because ANQ havent attacked you. even with members in range......power blocking rank 5!!! omg

Yeah, because we totally bashed you and are therefore perfect targets for hate. OH WAIT!

No. Just no. You bash us, we don't bash you. So we don't like you. How does that concept extend to us being possible targets for your hate when we don't bash you. We're like 25% of your score. That is where your logic fails.

I understand the meaning behind the words, but that doesn't stop the words being wrong, which they are.

@Willy - LDA and I teased alot, but not married. HG is my wife.

@LS I was playing actively and ftw when you used to whine about how unfair the game was. Your posts are beyond pitiful, but I appreciate you trying to break stuff to look tuff.

[Dax]

Right, so people above you are apparently beneath contempt for seeking out the easiest targets for small and relatively guaranteed land? I led a rank 4 alliance, which was a 'feeder' for the top 3. I never complained once.

You get your head down and defend, and attack for the losses back. It's simple. I didn't have the following to make any sort of successful up-attacking, so I stuck with defending what I had effectively. You can take a gander for yourself, that nobody complained of mass incoming from TDA a couple of rounds back - In fact, I've re-recruited many of them since because they were dedicated to rebuilding and defending despite being constantly battered from above.

I just don't get what the big fuss is - You can either accept the fact you're the most capable 'half-assed' alliance, and come hand-in-hand with being a 'feeder' alliance, or you can just sort of stop doing anything and be relatively similar to Discworld. Why all the hate for people playing the game?

You obviously never played FTW when I was playing then. I haven't gotten active in the forums until the last few years, and I have defended the games difficultly more than many. You either have me confused with someone else or are talking out of your ass.

Ogluk - Agree.. (Simple as)

[Garrett2]

When you got active in the forums means nothing. Your words also mean nothing. I simply said I remember your nooby rounds, and that it's a shame that you retain your noobiness.

Right, so people above you are apparently beneath contempt for seeking out the easiest targets for small and relatively guaranteed land? I led a rank 4 alliance, which was a 'feeder' for the top 3. I never complained once.

Exactly. In Event Horizon we ended up as the rank 4 alliance and there was no reason to complain about the absurd levels of incoming we received from the other 3 - because it was perfectly logical.

Naturally, because attacks between the top 3 required considerable effort and participation to ensure a success, there will be time in between these planned attacks when people are looking for easy land. Some turn to solos, some turn to sending at the top of the lower alliances for easy land - consequently those alliances get a lot of inc.

The root of the problem (as always) is the lack of players in the game, rather than the mindset of the individuals. If there were more alliances it wouldn't have just been EH taking the heat rounds ago... similarly it wouldn't just be Funky this round.

/facepalm

I'm not complaining here but would like to point out a few fundamental differences between the rounds you're talking about.

This round features 3 FTW allies. 1 so called 'feeder' alliance being funky.

The round with TDA there was only 1 FTW ally and 2 try-hard alliances. Then 4-5 'feeder' alliances for the try-hards.

If you do the math that means, there was a 25% chance that TDA would be chosen for simple pick & sends by either combo or anagram. Where this round funky has a 100% chance to be targeted by pick & sends and land trains as there is no other alliances around our score to spread around the inc load.

It is rather annoying :P

[Max]

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't TDA actually about twice the size of their surrounding alliances, with quite a bit more land?

And also correct me if I am wrong, but there were only 2 FTW alliances (1 of which has now disbanded) and 2 FTF setups at the top this round...

So the way I see it it's a pretty good analogy?

[LuckySports]

Pod - FL never recruited for the intention to win.. Some of our members prove that over and over again. :P But I'll digress.. Its really hard to say your not FTW when your ally is in the lead.. Even if that was never your intention.. :/


Garrett - The only one proving their lack of intelligence here is you. Correcting an individual's grammar in a setting where they are talking (typing) to others in a casual setting is something I would only expect from a douche. (Best word I can use to describe it) Your generalization and refusal to back up your own claims only makes me smile. If you want me to even begin to guess as to when your talking about, provide specifics. I remember enough from every round I've ever played to tell you everything I did in it, (Starting in Round 7) and I know for a fact that I have never complained that the game was too hard.. Even in round 7 when I was in mechanoid led by a player that went by phoenix at the time. There were 3 mechanoid alliances, and 1 of them separated from the other 2 as they had more active members, I would make and spend 100b on troops, and lose it overnight, every night..

Leeroy - shh :P go back to your cage Mr. Leader!

Alci - No, I do not remember Garrett, and I remember anyone that has left an impression on me one way or another. Apparently, if I knew him, I wasn't impressed. His first impression so far only reinforces that.

[Hamilton]

*first ever post in forums*

My retardness is contagious

Ohhhh so true...FL are clearly becoming retarded

[flameharvester]

I would like to make a point here, about English and grammar. While it can be viewed as conforming to the standard (Oxford English), there are hundreds of variations of English including both spelling and grammar as taught by a state education system. There are provinces with a population of 5-6 thousand people where proper grammar varies greatly from what you or I speak.

So please refrain yourself from correcting others as whilst they may be incorrect they may also just be speaking (typing) in accordance with standards they were taught.

Also on topic a few points:
1)ANQ could win this round if they wished as they have played the most FTW of any alliance
2) FL, HC, ANQ and Dimension have taken advantage of what opportunities they had to play the game successfully and enjoy themselves.
3) The game has changed over the last few years, to judge the game today against what was considered standard and fair methods of play several rounds ago.
4) Stop being whiny Brats, you don't like who's winning then do something about it all your posturing on here just proves that you don't deserve the win. (I say this about everyone including FL, stop whining on here and just enjoy the game :P)

Finally, Welcome back garret :)
Are you actually married to Tana? I never knew this :P

Lol, how?

ANQ tried to play fair and 1v1. If ANQ wanted to go FTW they WOULD have teamed up whit another alliance to get more impressive results. But as ANQ does not WANT to win. ANQ wanted to have fun.

HC are the biggest SQ+FTW this round. They havent been able to properly war. Only after the 2vs1. Were they outgrew ANQ and had(still have) a massive land lead, they decided ot attack on their own. They gained land but they got killed pretty hard in defence.

[flameharvester]

How you ask? I didn't say there were the most aggressive or anything of the sort i said they played the most ftw... They are clearly contactable they have a strong team and are prepared to put in the effort to achieve whatever goals they want (you may notice here I said whatever goals they have wanted to).

LS - I don't care about the intentions of your alliances when you recruited, its obvious to me that the top 3 alliances have put in the time and effort to be considered without a shadow of a doubt as a FTW ally. Don't try to tell me otherwise because I'm not buying it, you're playing politics to try to get people to underestimate you. Propaganda. Anyone with more than 3 braincells can see that.

Max - TDA had a 15% score lead on the allies around them, I checked. And funky is the alliance that has a 50% score lead on the next alliance down. It's not similar in the least.

The score gap in terms of troops when HC first attacked ANQ alone was almost equal to some attacks ANQ did on HC...

[CFalcon]

HC are the biggest SQ+FTW this round.

They gained land but they got killed pretty hard in defence.

So if we recall from strong defence, we're SQ.

And if we stay, we're still SQ, but you guys get bragging rights.

Podunk - its not politics.. If you saw how much work was put in by the few to get the majority involved at all you would understand what I'm talking about. People are going to underestimate us no matter what I say on here. I could say we have 20 contactable members that play 24hrs a day and never sleep and people would still fail..

But we don't have 20 people putting in full effort.. we have about 5, everyone else just joins in (sometimes) and its quite an effort to get anything off the ground. To say we are putting a winning effort is laughable. Its only "winnable" compared to this rounds competition.

I liked last round better.. 1 fighting to win, 1 just fighting because they wanted to.. And didn't complain when they didn't win themselves.. This round is full of a bunch of cry-babies.

Either way, I'm done being nice. If people really want to see me as the evil warlord, then I have no moral obligation to cater to their feelings..

[Podunk]

Once people get a taste of rank 1 they normally don't want to let it go. Even if you didn't recruit ftw, the people who got you there will want to keep you there. Likewise, some folks might put in more effort now that they're in the position.

Also it is politics, if you didn't have the will to win you wouldn't have made an SNAP to give you a greater chance to win the round. You're making conscious political decisions to better your position.

I highly doubt that its just 5 people actually trying in the alliance too btw... :P If that was the case funky would be r1.

Anyways I'm rambling... so yeah :P

In round 7 the game wasn't even developed properly. I believe garrett is refurring to to rounds (10/11)-(27-31). In that region where winning literally was everything. Especially r14-r25. I understand what Garrett is saying, coming back after a long break Lucky is someone i've never heard of although he said hes been around a long time.

[willymchilybily]

this is so fricken off topic.... arguing over past victories also. back when there was no anti land farming. and you had virus with its wings? only half the routes you have now were around. i still remeber special ops route coming out. and bunkers, and then later on the pupet route/harrier route/nano route/arsonist route/ was it fanatics too? and then alter still the fantasy branch... your talking about a time when the game was barely recognisable and text browser games were popular. comparing any achievements from then with now is just riddiculous.

and not this ftf/ftw bollocks again... christ.
If FL wanted to win they would have smashed ANQ for longer. till moral was defiantely crushed and land was fully gone even if troops were alive. They then would have broken thier do not attack eachother for 1 week "resistance" recovery time agreement with HC who were virtually half thier troops score..thats right... in terms of lethals they were half our size. and then they would have an incredibly good chance of winning the round easily.... on the basis they didnt do that i can happily say they dont care about winning. They get a few on for a few attacks and thats it.. and have players more willing to be pranked to help defend than join in an attack. so can muster average defence. definately not ftw imo

and i can say HC IS ftw imo...because they attack at 4am, 6am, and allie any one for an edge. hardly something people who play ftf do. How ftf an alliance is, to me, is directly proportional to how much sleep thier members get.

ANQ played hard at the start. and very well. They are likely enjoying a rest from incoming. and now they are rank 3 any notion they may have once had (which i doubt they did have) about winning is gone, and the route set up smacks of ftf... they would have only taken the win to stop HC getting it. where as FL is looking forward to rushing HC. and doesnt care if they win. as long as they work for it. and dont just get it on a plate.

so i really dont think that classifys them as ftw... i mean i dont think half the people in this forum even know what it takes to actually win in a modern round. so they will never understand what FTW truely is. its always observed from the outside looking in.

OMG after reading the 1st 2 pages i skipped to the end, alot of u people can talk crap, u are ftw, no u are ftw, no we have been ftf, sure u have been, who gives a Sh*t.

little cry babies ALL OF YOU.

[flameharvester]

We all like the idea of winning noone wants to put in the effort that it can require were all ftew for the easy win

[Razorwolf]

lol its pretty funny to have anq complaining about being 2v1'd and using 'dishonourable' tactics yet they dont seem to have any problem sending mails to fl with a running commentary when hc are attacking them, on the off chance that fl will counter for them

As i said before, it's ok when you do it to someone else but not when it happens to you!

Don't worry i am sure we will moan when its done to us

Who?

[Dimitar]

show mails and/or stfu

[Twigley]

Eh? I mailed FL last night asking if their "war" on HC was over as we had inc from them.
If that was misconstrued as GO HIT THEM then I pitty your understanding of what ANQ has stuck by all round.
The reason I ask is because thus far ANQ didn't bother piggying FL or HC as we're not failures, spoiling 1v1 fights so i was wondering why we had such inc.

Facepalm @ IoF and Razorwolf.

Arnt you guys meant to be warring HC?
We have 18 members covered by them O_O

[Twigley]

On a side note, ANQ's moral went from high to -9000 after everything that happened and we found out about.

2v1 by HC and Dimension then a few days later 2 v 1 by HC and FL then hits on and from HC at nights and FL early mornings and then finding out that FL and HC had a 1 week snap just made some of my players disengage from any hope of a fair fight and stop playing.

So GL whoever out grows who at the top and 'grats on how you got there.

[willymchilybily]

i dont mind being told that twigs :) i like to stay informed... i think it was this one thougj

Most of HC onliners are eta 1 / Atf 3 on us. Would he a good tome to rush their offliners. Just a heads up.


like i said keep it coming im all for it. knowing when they are out etc. no harm in some free info that may or may noy be used

[Twigley]

Whichever member sent that will be talked to and their actions are condemned by ANQ.

[Dimitar]

One imbecile mailing you without permission isn't the same as the alliance asking for help

A conversation starting a joint attack is slightly different.
It's a little bit embarassing we/I even have to comment in response to this...

[Dimitar]

One member asking another alliance to participate in an organised attack isn't the same as one member telling an alliance that a 3rd alliance is attacking

[Twigley]

Fairly sure that a disgruntled member saying that compared to 3 alliance leaderships organising / authorising alliance attacks on 1 is a bit different too.

The point has nothing to do with the consequential actions.

The point was that ANQ don't want to be labelled as asking for help as an alliance, when it was only one member, and most/all other members disagree with such action.

That's a reasonable request to make, we respect it.

Now perhaps YOU will respect our request to not assume asking some Dimensions along was an alliance-wide consensus.

[20:07] <CF> there?
[20:08] <DaX> sup?nappin
[20:08] <CF> just wondering whether we did actually coordinate with dimension last night
[20:08] <CF> or at all
[20:09] <DaX> not to my personal knowledge
[20:10] <CF> so dimension just hit n0c0 on their own initiative?
[20:11] <DaX> Someone must have said something
[20:11] <CF> i'm not *hugel* fussed, but i don't want to be defending a lie on forums
[20:11] <CF> *hugely
[20:11] <DaX> but it can't have been anybody important
[20:11] <DaX> As it was so few
[20:11] <DaX> 4/5 at most I think
[20:13] <DaX> I spoke to kiwi re: resistance
[20:15] <DaX> IF WE FELL FURTHER BEHIND
[20:15] <DaX> I'd made a plan for the res and everything
[20:16] <CF> agreed
[20:16] <CF> but at this stage it's pretty underhand
[20:17] <DaX> I agree
[20:17] <DaX> It was never an intention of mine
[20:17] <DaX> i spoke to Martin earlier
[20:18] <DaX> Cleared it all up.

Which of HC's poor playstyle and tactics due you wish to focus on, or were none of them made with an alliance-wide consensus? ;-)

It pains me to argue a stupid point, and I do see your argument, but I would say there is more than ONE member of HC who acknowledged and was involved with Dimension's coordinated attack on us? Even if several were not. So I still think it is a moot point to compare the two.

[Dax]

It pains me that this is just another unending circular conversation that will never really have a point that will be settled on by all 3 sides. I did my bit and explained: Take it or leave it. I really couldn't care less about a bunch of 20-something's whining about a game.

*yawn*

Perhaps the comparison is fair, and perhaps it isn't. I'm not really trying to equate the two.

I'm just highlighting how absurd it is that certain ANQ members are *still* bringing up the Dimension thing, and *still* blowing it out of all proportion (re: twig's post). If you're so concerned about fair comparisons, how about comparing 1 or 2 HC's asking some Dimensions along without consulting the alliance, to "3 alliance leaderships organising / authorising alliance attacks on 1". Please say you see what I'm driving at :/

[flameharvester]

Who cares at the end of the day dimension were the ones that wanted a coordinated resistance that early in round they threatened us and hence we put in the time and effort we normally wouldnt and crushed them... So dimension got its comeuppance and the issue is solved

Hasn't it already been discussed that winning isn't everything?

(I may recall it from mIRC however, but the point stands.)

1 FTW alliance per round. Nobody cares about ranks. People just want to still be a part and enjoy the game.

Hamilton, you utterly fail at posting. What in my post that you quoting said anything about being high rank is everything? Please direct further posts to the brick wall behind you.

That brick wall is pink and it's pretty.

You troll on people about being 'high ranked' and 'they're cool' and that's all I've see from you since you've arrived on Forums. Egotistic. Want a pin in that balloon sir?

DaX, from looking at the actions, activity, posting etc. it does/did seem like ANQ were FTW until FL and HC attacked them. Once HC and FL began warring, that was it. You've come out on top and are the only FTW around.

All we know is that we were 'Fashionably Late' and enjoyed popping our heads up and dropping them again :P

[Elevnos]

egotistical has been all the pissing and moaning from people winning, not winning, trying to figure out if they are winning because they barely know how to play the game. ooh someone finally got into a lead where the game is ~300 active people and I use the term active loosely.

i post because these drama threads are boring and make little sense. at one point i was trying to have fun then got bum rushed by all the little people who have tried to grow up and failed.

[jamesNchina]

And on a lighter note, FL sheds 1T+ attacking a R4 alliance 1/4 their size.. Great tactics guys! beat those boys at HC by being out of range lmao

[jamesNchina]

oh wait you guys gained nearly 900 acres... woohoo your on a ftw roll now.
Say hello to the Dimensions boys on your way down. :D

[timtadams]

with 900 acres, they could make up those losses in about 30 days i reckon. Given there are 50+ days left, you could argue that it was worth it.

RiF were most active too. Your point?
We generally had to be pretty active to defend against HC on a night and FL early mornings and our activity is majorily bumped up by 2/3 people who have stupid activity. Almost IoF autorefresh like.
Using 1 factor to say an alliance is not FTF is a weak arguement, imo, when so many other things need to be thought about.
Granted we're not FTL.

Who said anything about an argument? You held that statistic from the moment they were public - It's not just since the incomings from us.

It's not a criticism though, I must say - Despite the rankings I have rated your alliance by far the best of the round up to maybe 4/5 days ago (where our attacking/defending significantly improved) - But considering your lineup, if you were anywhere less than third then I would perceive you more to be 'FTF', let alone so swiftly grabbing and 'securing' rank 1 from any single alliance.
It took me too long to make necessary replacements to the lineup to remain anywhere near competitive (not totally FTW, merely to "survive"), you guys picked both an interesting and fluid setup that has allowed you to remain competitive even if you were half of rank 1's score.

As I have said so many times, it's not personal - It's just doing what you and others have done before you to eliminate competition (granted, to irritate certain individuals also).

We tried not to die, but HC were willing to put in the hours and attack at the times we weren't. There's only so much sleep you can lose to try and be spiteful :P
Yes, it does bring us back to our original aim.

[Max]

Interestingly, it puts HC on top in line for a win --- which was their original aim.

It puts ANQ not at rank 1 and small enough to rush --- which was their original aim.

It also puts FL near the top but not rank 1 in line for more targets and more choices for attacking for fun --- which was their original aim.

So it seems like everyone's a winner? :D

This is a most pleasurable subject of conversation. You would think after so many knees being damaged over time, Skyrim people would just wear kneepads, or stop having knees altogether - Both are perfectly acceptable solutions.

I hardly think that removing one's knee is an acceptable solution.

Sure it is.

Or you can keep losing your ability to be an adventurer and hope that somewhere in the distant future, a new arrow-proof knee evolves into Skyrim-kind.

I'm pretty sure the arrow to the knee resulted in compromised mobility thus inhibiting adventurous activities. Having no knees would result in even lesser mobility and they would be even less able to be an adventurer.

If they had no knees, the common phrase would be, "I dreamt of being an adventurer like you, but i was born with no knees".
And I was like, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

The evolutionary ideals of a game I haven't even played is so much more exciting than Bushtarion politics.

And who said the lack of knees would prevent mobility? Maybe there would be an epic new joint coverage that is more arrow-proof than a kneecap?! :o

I completely agree, as I too have not played the game :P

But try walking around without bending your knees, a dare you.
Yes, it is not too hard, but know try jumping :P

You should totally be able to buy knee pads in Skyrim. If not, someone needs to create such a mod.

Congratulations to HC for finally winning the round, it took no less than 5 weeks to be decided, which hasn't happened for years!

The battles have been thoroughly enjoyable and I am so happy that most of the alliances ended up with the alliance ranking they were hoping for in the first place :P

Kudos for the win you wanted HC, I think the biggest game changer for you guys was the massive recruitment drive you ran after Dimension fell, made a heck of a difference. The win is yours!

[Garrett2]

tbf it took 5 weeks due to a massive rush to score queen as much as possible as long as possible. that and no one really wanting to win due to the # of recalls that i've seen.

i mean people don't even seem to spy defenders to see if they might be real or fake. i've been on attacking before and defended someone else with fake... 1 spy would show obvious fakage... but recalls happen.

i mean a win is a win, but man it basically took 5 weeks for someone to man up and attack and stay for once.

don't get me wrong. i'm glad there is finally a winner and congrats and all that. just has been weird to watch.

[Max]

Garrett I agree that your words may have been true at the immediate round start, but after the fall of the Dimension there were LOADS of heavy battles and plenty of staying I can assure you :P

Recently before the big HC hits, there's been lots of rushing going on where I see plenty of stays and plenty of values, truly!

Yeah, we've had a lot of internal changes, and after a while we got our **** together. But replacing some members have definitely played a huge part.

[LuckySports]

Almost no time to post nowadays, but here's something..

I've noticed a huge change in your capabilities since the early round! It's much more organized and I can see that you have worked for your win. Congratulations. I wish I could have been active so we could have given you a real fight! Our defense has been pretty pathetic this round. ^_^

I know your wise enough to ignore the people trying to play down a win. It has been years since there was a real fight in the rankings. Too many folks afraid of putting in effort, afraid to start a fight. I hope next round we have another extended round of fighting at the top. That's what makes this game fun.

About time the only alliance going for rank 1 won the round. Got shown up at the start for how bad they were, replaced their terrible members, 2 v 1'ed, snapped another alliance for a week and waited to outgrow the rest.

This is coming from the person that whined to have my post removed on your recruitment thread reminding everyone what a total c*nt you were with your efforts of destroying the relatively little playerbase we had left in R30 - After your complaints of the actions of a few this round supposedly 'impacting' something you were 'totally aiming for in the first place'.

Hello! :B-fly:

[Twigley]

Why so bitter twigs? Everyone else has been enjoying a relatively interesting round. Lighten up.

By everyone else you mean the two alliances who snapped each other? Or? If so i don't think i need to reply further to that.

@ Dax;

I asked for the spam to be taken out of my recruitment thread. Sorry if that upset you. Hugs.

Ignore this if you would like but i'm getting bored of the same line from the same repeat offenders;

I have no double standards at all. The line of arguement you're going down there is terrible. You're either trolling ... in which case 7/10 ... or you're just a sheep who has been spinning the same line for rounds and now actually beleive it.

If you think having 3 wings in round 30 was the turning point of the playerbase going down or was any worse than what the same people who are in HC and FL do almost every single round they play then you're pretty tunnelvisioned. A new homepage was all that changed for bush in round 30 and the boring retheric about how it was a new age and all nice and fluffy was a joke. I'd already been 2/3/4 v 1'ed twice before round 30 when leading and the playerbase had died 4 rounds before that.

The real thing that grinds my gears is that the people who QQ'ed so hard about round 30 (BUT HAD DONE IT ATLEAST TWICE BEFORE TO MY OWN ALLIANCES) and never let it go are the ones who have repeat offended the most. Both pre and post round 30. And even more so when it's been against the EULA. So cheating in effect. And it's happened again with exactly the same people. With the same awful excuse of round 30.

Im fairly sure it was you Dax who said you shouldn't judge a person on one round. Thankfully for me i can judge people on multiple rounds who repeat offend and justify it by talking about round 30.

IoF and Ahead did a really good job on spreading the tales to the sheep of the past and for that i need to get another trophy made up. It's amazing how you can get away with always 2/3/4 v 1ing alliances (even more so that it's against the EULA now) and still think it can justify it by being hypocritical.



In the end it did all turn out as all of the alliances proclaimed they wanted it to.

HC got rank 1 by whatever way necessary.
FL managed to stop any possibility of ANQ being rank 1 and protected HC so they can now rush the rank 1 alliance because it's easier to rush an alliance with high eta units.
ANQ have managed to get to the point in the round now they can do what they wanted to do and with the extra comedy value added by how it was achieved.

Congratulations to HC for finally winning the round, it took no less than 5 weeks to be decided, which hasn't happened for years!

Round 40 took almost that. When TBA were declared on by rank 1 (who were led by FL and then HC members), beat their ass down with ease and then beat all the help that they got (WHAT A SURPRISE) down too.

Round 37 also took longer than this round when their leadership was from FL people snapped from day 2 to day 30 and didnt do a single bit of damage to each other and 2 v 1'ed other alliances. I would say that round was more interesting than this round too but had a similiar template with similiar members, just with an extra alliance so took a bit longer.

I'm also taking the trophy away from HC due to it not being accepted in a polite manner by DaX. Took me ages that too.

I was in that 2v1'd alliance. Complaints were made, but we all just got bored and went inactive (as you have).

Must have played a different round 37.. I Remember fighting Aphallatosis more stringently than most wars since and was never napped with them. But of course, the truth wouldn't serve your purpose, so why state it? :P

Your memory is a bit skewed..

And the CORE of FL members might be the same 4/5 folks, but the majority of the members are different, which of course, also wouldn't serve your purpose. I think you need to re-purpose, it will make your arguments valid and sensible.

...I'm going to assume you're one of those who doesn't make decisions in FL? ;)

Of all the arguments you use, you use the one that ANQ 'rushed' FL... when the whole round we have made it pretty obvious our point is to focus on HC, for the reasons which are obvious if you look at the following page;

TL/DR - you're wrong.

Heart collectors have won the round lets be serious the gap between FL and and HC are over 200b and thats alot the only thing i can suggest is we bash HC tho i think there a lil big for us but hey its a game lets rock and roll :) have a good round everyone

SW ftw!

[flameharvester]

sorry martin but when we turned our attention back to hc anq wanted to rush us every time we launched at them by the time you guys stopped that it was too late they were too big

[Garrett2]

can't we all just measure each other's penises and argue about the units used instead? dibs on microns!

[Hamilton]

Martin, we ALL make the decisions in because Leeroy can't do anything himself. (Love you really)

We were all in mass debate as to whether to go FTW ourselves because ANQ were moaning about the 2v1 situation blah blah blah and HC needed our help to secure their 'Win' and so didn't deserve it blah blah. Instead we did **** all, sat back and did nothing :)

Note: I'm not saying we are Gods and could have just taken the win as we please. I'm sure we would have had to work hard for it too.

Also, Daso, the round is won by the alliance wanting to win. Just aim to rush them. While they keep trying to kill me :P

Flamey is wrong (sorry mate!) ANQ were originally focus'ed on because we wanted the round to last longer and thought it would be fun to even things up a bit. The reason we never fully turned to HC was because we were too busy discussing whether or not we should put in the effort to fight them :P Eventually, HC took the initiative (took a long time!) and decided for us.

Everyone has input, final decision is made among about 5 folks (the core!)

and anyone that says the CORE of an alliance IS the alliance is a moron. It takes everyone to make an alliance, 2-3 folks might not make a huge difference, but 15 will. 4-5 folks might set the stage, but you need everyone to make an alliance.

It wasn't a question of taking the initiative lucky, we put in a lot of work to kill ANQ and I for one was knackered for the first time in about 7 rounds.

The core of an alliance does make the alliance imo. Ofc all 20 players matter but the direction and capability of an alliance are determined by its core.

[Hamilton]

This CORE talk is funny. 4-5 people are the shepherds and the others are the sheep?

No. All 20, in FL's case are the shepherds, how everyone else plays is up to them. Ed, you're right in one tiny part, it's a matter of opinion.

I actually smiled when i read this post. You clearly havn't read any of the posts from ANQ at all this round. We didn't want to win we just wanted a 1 v 1 fight. We would never keep rank 1 with our route set up. It would be impossible ... we lose too far too much in defence. You really need to think before you try to contribute to a thread. The reason that i could run my mouth as much as i wanted is because we had nothing to lose and it was fun to point out how bad HC and FL were being. The damage had been done and nothing i said would change it. Not a good try, flame. 3/10.

and anyone that says the CORE of an alliance IS the alliance is a moron. It takes everyone to make an alliance, 2-3 folks might not make a huge difference, but 15 will. 4-5 folks might set the stage, but you need everyone to make an alliance.

Your 'stupid' is showing. You might want to cover that up.

This CORE talk is funny. 4-5 people are the shepherds and the others are the sheep?

No. All 20, in FL's case are the shepherds, how everyone else plays is up to them. Ed, you're right in one tiny part, it's a matter of opinion.

This man is a shark. Sharks are winners because they don't look back. Because they don't have necks.

Be proud to be the shepherd of your herd of sharks.

ofc the core matters. HC were utter crap before ed joined them

[Elevnos]

HC lacked DaX being a leader when he was meant to for the critical part of the round...

[Dimitar]

Is that supposed to disprove my point

[Daso]
