Your very best.

[J0057]

I was going through my old ID's and checked the later ones out with Powographs. I have to say, I was getting quite interested in what I figured was my best round, statistically. And I found it. It's my R21 ID: We're_all_the_Gears of this_War [1365] (http://www.bushtarion.com/portal_id_history.php?P=1365&W=1&D=1175196901) It held 44th for a few hours. The best I had ever done for more than a tick. The Alliance and wars of that round were the best I was ever in. (WeSuck, The Roxy Fan Club, Big Balls, Diabolic, Hullabaloo)

After having a good look at everything I could about that round I thought it'd be awesome to see what you people consider your best round. (Preferably since R15 when Azzer started to keep ID history's)

[Turnip2k]

21 for me, it was great round - lots and lots of wars, it made the round very interesting. All the allies were good sports at the end of the day, and the banner wars http://www.bushtarion.com/forums_old/vi ... r&start=30 (http://www.bushtarion.com/forums_old/viewtopic.php?t=18870&postorder=asc&highlight=wesuck+banner&start=30) http://www.bushtarion.com/forums_old/vi ... hp?t=19322 (http://www.bushtarion.com/forums_old/viewtopic.php?t=19322) were comedy - its a shame there haven't been any since.

Also a whole ally full of TL's and SA's bountyhunting everyone got a tad annoying :P

[Polo]

Statistically, r23 was my best. Valuation: £219,283,437,061 [Final Rank: 1] (Highest valuation held: £219,283,437,061. Highest rank held: 1 for 10,521 ticks)

Rank 1 for 10521 ticks out of 10944. :P

Although r13 was actually the best round imo.

[J0057]

Probably the most boring rank graph of powo ;)

I agree with Turnip on the Banner wars. That were the best.

As far as good old fashioned fun in bushtarion R21 was the best, though the rounds after that were fun in the sense that they all had something new and community based. Themed alliances, W1 tourneys, etc. All on a larger scale than anything of the sort before it.

[Charlie_B]

I wasn't going to post on here, but my winamp randomly started playing The Libertines - Narcissist. Spooky.
Looking back, I realised that I haven't properly played bush since round 13, with the exception of round 21. Madness.
Statistically my best rounds were 21 and 13, although i enjoyed 9 and 10 the most. Fun.

[DR4545]

R19 with Leftovers, R20 with Guernica. Both rounds were fun because of the resistance movements that went on.

Both winning alliances weren't the big dogs from the early stages.

R23 I am most proud of, portalled on BH, Eff, and L/F with 3 hrs of activity

[f0xx]

Round 9 powerblocks ftw? :roll:

[BlackWolf]

What powerblock?
Statement of powerblock cant be used from round like r9 was. It can be used maby first of round 11 i think where 2 completely different alliances made a deal with each others. Basicly powerblock requires there to be multiple top alliances with combining forces that outcomes all others. And r9 there were even bigger forces on opposing side than what ViruS had. Also ViruS was one alliance. Same way like Dragons/Angels, NTH had. So even in that sense it cant be called powerblock. You should also notice that size of all ViruS alliance on r9 were around 15 members while some alliances had 40 members in em.

[f0xx]

You posted 3 alliances in your previous post so I just assumed you were leading them all?

[BlackWolf]

Yes i were leading them all. So? It doesnt turn it to powerblock.

[f0xx]

Well, leading 3 alliances is a powerblock in my eyes, or atleast an attempt?

[BlackWolf]

Only if you have no idea what word powerblock mean.
Next you gonna say that core&applecore was powerblock.

Powerblock is coalition of at minimum 2 LEADING alliances or coalition of so many alliances that their number is so massive that no other side of game has any chance to compete against them. Definition powerblock cant be used of alliances that have existed from beginning together and aimed for one goal as long as opposing forces have had numbers to beat them.
For that sole reason there has been maby 1-2 powerblocks or maby even none in history of Bushtarion. People are using word powerblock too often to mean every leading alliance even theres no other but political reason for it.

I really suggest you look a bit more in depth of rounds of bushtarion before you start throwin stuff like powerblock around.

Too much stuff to write here :P

No matter what you say, 3 alliances under 1 rule is a powerblock and don't forget that this here is YOUR definition of powerblock, your own way of interpreting things just so that they can prove YOUR points.

But you are right on one thing, I have very limited knowledge of round 9, so I am going to stop arguing here.

Ok so Angela and Core heard that? You powerblocked on round 8... rofl!

Statistically this was my best, close to winning all 3 ranks if it wasn't for cervantes and his lack of bounty :P Also did this round 454 bil kill damage which is my favourite stat/rank :D Managed to beat it last round by a bit, 469 bil.

Tho i think my first round was the most exciting. I still remember i got the shakes after we put so mo effort to get on top and then i see an alliance screen full of hostiles, it was like all world against us. Too much for my young heart at that time :P

[vlad]

I liked Round 11. back in the day when Secret Agents were well cool. That being my only portal finish round.

But best round for me ... would be 14in Exodia, taking on an alliance with 5 japanese people and me, was well fun (yeah, they were same size, well publicised at the time).
Then round 16 when sordes won, that was a fun round with all the backstabbing :D o, and got to know sordes quite well.

[Cheese]

Ok so Angela and Core heard that? You powerblocked on round 8... rofl!
No that was one alliance the reason we split into two was due to CRAA (a gay thing Azzer put in where the top alliance would randomly get incoming from the government) the value depended on the difference between the rank 1 and 2 alliances so thats why there was a split.
You how ever blackwolf have done quite a few powerblocks in your time... I remember when I was in virus there was our alliance and 2 more wings...
And round 9 yep you got it again 3 wings.

[BlackWolf]

Those were just one alliance split to multiple alliances on r9 to avoid CRA, on R13 cause there were alliance naps etc.
So please dont come here to accuse me of something you have done yourself. Either you start to think things from same view for everyone or you might aswell stop posting your biased views.

If you would think for a minute what actually word powerblock means why there is word power in it... for example powerblock cant be all alliances ranked 10-20 teamed together. Why? Cause they dont have power. As such powerblock cant be something that has existed from beginning of round with multiple ranks and has fought its way to top.
Powerblock forms when alliances are allready at the top.

So infact as ridiculous as it sounds Core and Applecore was more powerblock than ViruS ever... which makes it so hilarious.

[cervantes]

Nice discussion you got going here, but back to topic and a little showing off :P:

Statistically, r23 was my best. Valuation: £219,283,437,061 [Final Rank: 1] (Highest valuation held: £219,283,437,061. Highest rank held: 1 for 10,521 ticks)
Rank 1 for 10521 ticks out of 10944. :P

I can beat the valuation :P. but rank 1 held for 10k ticks is almost unbeatable i think
My highest win was when I won r19 as pure-solo:

i think LO woulda been my biggest win in round 19 but i got kick raped so it wasnt to be ;P

Basicly powerblock requires there to be multiple top alliances with combining forces that outcomes all others. And r9 there were even bigger forces on opposing side than what ViruS had.

You should also notice that size of all ViruS alliance on r9 were around 15 members while some alliances had 40 members in em.

Still lying to yourself about the thorn in everyones ass which all of us knew as "Virus".. You can say it wasnt a power block all you want, doesnt change a thing.

The opposing side had more? You sent all 3 of your alliances against just me, and even thou we were far better players and far better equipped there was still only max 20 of us, so of course we couldnt defend. Yea thats not a power block...

Sorry for bringing back such an old topic guys, but before I left Bushtarion Blackwolf was saying the exact same thing. Cant believe even to this day he still thinks that was honourable or worthy play. Tsk Tsk

So Azzer cracked down on powerblocks after round 9 for no reason aye wolfie? Personally I think you were sick of the hold our alliance had on the top 10, and knew an "any means" way of taking that away. :)

Didnt last long thou did it? haha

[f0xx]

You can never crack BW's bridge of logic Sir ;)

Whatever arguments you bring, they are worth next to nothing in his eyes ;)

[aGit]

got 3 rank 3 positions to choose from. so i'll go with r13. the most fun however was r19 the p-solo rank 3.

meh

[Garrett]

rnd 10 was my first full round. played bunker and led an alliance. bribed between 70-100m nutters a slew of dogs, terrors, and whatever else my little cloners could/would handle.

didn't have the punit. sentries would have been awesome. i was in the top 50 easy, no political connections at the time... i believe antipodean was the alliance in the lead that round... they had some late comers and so these late comers were trying to attack my alliance.

I always defend and as leader of an alliance I feel it was my duty to do so. So in the last week I got raped by antipodean because I refused to sit by and let them just take acres.

So for a newbie round with no punit and in an alliance round 10 was probably my best for just starting out and not understanding all the intricacies of the game.

At round start I can be as high as top 10-15, and I've portalled for many reasons. If you want Value, I guess TRFC round is my best... but with WeSuck only being the ones in range really... I always attacked and stayed to fight usually. So I didn't get as high as a finish as I could probably. I guess i could have challenged for rank 1 that round, but meh.

The round 'Hell' won. I was brought on late in the round to replace someone and charged with getting value rank of at least 20 so the whole Hell group would have the top 20 locked. I had to restart an ungodly amount of times in order to fit the naming scheme of the alliance. With only about 2.5-3 weeks left I knocked down 47+k acres and ended up 15th. Most of the attacks were done on my own as Hell had a land cap for the longest time. It was a really fun an exhilirating time.

I'd like to think my very best hasn't happened yet.

Your logic is illogical. When you dont even understand what word powerblock means. When you learn out we can discuss about it again. As far as I know if there are 2+ sides and all are as big you cant call any of them powerblock even if one ends winning.

Also if you have not noticed even as close as last round there was real powerblock of 3 alliances that worked together and can be called powerblock as remains of playerbase were 1-2 alliances big and never really worked together. Just so you know that Azzer has not ever done anything to powerrblocks... untill last round when he made post about them and asked people not to use em. I have not ever been proud of how things went on round 9. But I still say we were not powerblock and not even bigest alliance around on that round.

Who else was there then Wolf? There was our alliance with Sordes as leader and Angelas alliance. We took out Angelas not even worrying about anyone other than those guys. So yea we probably got sloppy after we took them out coz lets be honest they were the best of the best at the time. If we'd ganged up, Virus wouldnt have done ****. :)

I had a few friends from Angelas crew help defend that night you guys sent everything you had at me. There was no huge resistance, weve always run in clicks 15 players big. Because thats all we ever needed until Virus brought out the powerblock play.

Its in the past m8, no one gives a rats ass anymore.. But at least own up to your tactics of the round. Put a fancy name on it or deny, deny and deny some more.. Its still obvious to anyone that played at top level that round, what happened and how.

[john]

the round i did best in was 17
my id was Ballad of A_Dead_Soldier [127], finished rank 24 in Valhalla which ended as the rank 1 alliance.

[BlackWolf]

What powerblock?
Statement of powerblock cant be used from round like r9 was. It can be used maby first of round 11 i think where 2 completely different alliances made a deal with each others. Basicly powerblock requires there to be multiple top alliances with combining forces that outcomes all others. And r9 there were even bigger forces on opposing side than what ViruS had. Also ViruS was one alliance. Same way like Dragons/Angels, NTH had. So even in that sense it cant be called powerblock. You should also notice that size of all ViruS alliance on r9 were around 15 members while some alliances had 40 members in em.

Still lying to yourself about the thorn in everyones ass which all of us knew as "Virus".. You can say it wasnt a power block all you want, doesnt change a thing.

The opposing side had more? You sent all 3 of your alliances against just me, and even thou we were far better players and far better equipped there was still only max 20 of us, so of course we couldnt defend. Yea thats not a power block...

Sorry for bringing back such an old topic guys, but before I left Bushtarion Blackwolf was saying the exact same thing. Cant believe even to this day he still thinks that was honourable or worthy play. Tsk Tsk

So Azzer cracked down on powerblocks after round 9 for no reason aye wolfie? Personally I think you were sick of the hold our alliance had on the top 10, and knew an "any means" way of taking that away. :)

Didnt last long thou did it? haha
Your logic is illogical. When you dont even understand what word powerblock means. When you learn out we can discuss about it again. As far as I know if there are 2+ sides and all are as big you cant call any of them powerblock even if one ends winning.

Also if you have not noticed even as close as last round there was real powerblock of 3 alliances that worked together and can be called powerblock as remains of playerbase were 1-2 alliances big and never really worked together. Just so you know that Azzer has not ever done anything to powerrblocks... untill last round when he made post about them and asked people not to use em. I have not ever been proud of how things went on round 9. But I still say we were not powerblock and not even bigest alliance around on that round.

You cant come here telling me how there never were any colitions between Angela, Tim and sordes... it happend on just round earlier where Angela and Timster worked together until very end. Where we managed to take "2nd"(3rd) spot from them.

Where kingdom was thais and they were only losely connected to us... we used them as shield against CRA. So I can count 46 members. With KHS 62... angels were alone 95. Yes they were noobs and bad player but they were there.

Now like it or not but with your princibles actually Core and AppleCore were the first "powerblock" if you consider only amount of alliances on top. I have not ever accused them of such cause I think its ridiculous idea as they were together 14 members big. But if only amount of alliances counts for you as powerblock... or as I see that word powerblock is used by certain people as they see it fit... well core and applecore were there first... hilarious.

You like it or not but Azzer changed rules just before round started on round 9. Making 30 member alliances to be only available as public. I had already recruited around 30 members and was going to have 1 alliance only. This forced us to put our members to 2 alliances and put us to situation where advantage was on your side. Specially with knowing that angela,tim and sordes were in close relations thinking we were bigest evil. For us it was short way to go to expand to 3 allys and after like a week or so we found thais were really there too and started to work with them.

You are free to think of me anything you like, but I also hope you realize that what was politics back then doesnt matter today anymore. No one really cares of your accusations and flaming attempts like back in the day. I am not a major player in todays bush anymore. I would like to think I am, but honestly I am not. There are new players and new leaders. I just hope you some day actually could think outside of the box you have lived in all these years and see things are not black and white. You may have bealieved everything you were told by others back then, but it doesnt mean you know the whole story. You see if you look back and start to think things from others side too you might actually learn that those rounds were so much more interesting and full of some awesome political aspects that in bush of today you dont really see things like that anymore.

Ive never even seen those alliances before.. So maybe they are Angela and Sordes.. I doubt it, but maybe you are right. Doesnt mean I agree with what they did. Just because they have a similar name to what we had in round 6 doesnt mean ****. As you would know we changed our name every round, so as I said before I doubt it is them.

Core and applecore you will have to take up with Angela. Me and I think also Sordes werent in Core that round. No one was scared of you Wolf, we didnt even know Virus existed. It was me and Sordes, Angelas and Tims alliance. Grouped with Tims alliance we took down Angelas and then the nap ended. At no point were all 3 of us together.. I mean seriously do you think you would have had a chance if we had teamed up? Not a chance.

Once again you take my ingame arguements personal.. When, personally ive heard good and bad things about you, but make no judgement about your character. I like to tease, so if I have said anything to upset you, you'll get over it. And as I said in my earlier post this really doesnt matter.. Its ancient history. I just think you should at least tell it how it is, especially after such a long time. And I agree you did bring aspects to the game bush hadnt seen before, I just dont think they were honourable enough to boast. I had alot of fun that round just like the rounds before and after it.

[harriergirl]

AT anyrate

My top value finish was ofc TRFC - finished 14th in value that round - Learned a ****ton as it was my first trip in a ftw ally

I would also like to mention round 15ish .. I think in Vertigo- we got absolutely raped lost half our members, but I convinced Fubu and Recycle and a few others to stay we ended up 6th that round ( which back then was a decent finish) It was sooo much fun.

[Melnibone]

Sorry to get involved in all this but i was around at the times you guys speak of and Virus by todays definitions would be seen as a powerblock but i genuinely believe it wasnt

At the time of Virus' entry into the game the game was dominated by the Sordes/Angela group that included some of IMO the greatest players in the game Louie Drak yourself SirDrum Kuda many many others of similar stature.

Below that was the level i played at NTHellers we were becoming the 2nd force in the game i believe until Virus appeared.... i remember at the time hearing that they had played other online games together and migrated over as a core to play this one.

They played the game from a different perspective using different tactics including having 2-3 alliance co-ordinated but in those days the playerbase could support it i remember NTH and NTH2 as both 30 player public alliances and both in the top 10 (it wasnt actually easy back then to be top 10 it meant something....) it was an era when you could have 60-80 players together and NOT unbalance the game.

Seriously i wish on these forums that people i respect could actually remember not just the details on paper but remember what actually happened and the context it happened in...

Meh flame me if you like but tbh Virus are no more a powerblock than any other rank 1 alliance from that era

Heya Melnibone,

I remember your nick, and trust me m8 I remember what happened. Its the round me and Sordes broke off from our normal crew and made our own team. But everyone has their own opinion on what happened, I wouldnt belittle your opinon of the events, but my opinion was different back then.

Its a long time ago thou so its hard to remember everything, but that one night that I had 40+ players come just for me ill remember always lol. :) So you can probably see why I think it was a powerblock.

Anyway good to see more oldies are still playing the game, hope you're doing well Melnibone.

My best round rank wise was round 11, finished 4th. dont know the stats on other crap for it as they were not saved back then :s finished first for land and second for damage(Evil GUff finished first). Suicided nearly 2bil ninja;s on the last day of the round hitting Siers, cost me my possible rank 1 position but it was funny :P

my Favourite rounds..

Round 12, BeautifulChaos - Shadow of Darkness - we killed 17 alliances in 1 round with the help of NeverSurrender on a few of them :P

Round 17, Vortex - Shadow of Darkfalls - First tiem playing PoM's. this was back when game had EXP and jsut after the EXP got changed so it only affected the damage you did and not your HP aswell. so i got 20mil PoM's(which back then was alot) and bought up like 40mil on top and suicided them off on rank 1 allie, gave them 82% EXP which left me pretty much untouchable as having that much EXP on units made em do roughly 2.5-3times normal damage :D Finished rank 1 for distracting that round :P

Round 22, Ashes - Only-Thinking of Raping-you - played Rangers, only 1 thing worse than having 75mil F-117s and 200mil rangers incoming...thats having all that +200mil extremists and 100mil fanatics going with it :P mine and Melni's attacks rocked, got Marving 25k acres in a matter of days cause no one dared defend against us :P a few did but they never survived the first tick after the F-117s fired :D

Any round after those i just get bored of too easily and end up leaving :( - althou this round im having a piece of fun :P only a few more resistnce alliances left alive ;)

Stats aint you get an award right for having rank 1 for stats but stats from that round aint saved, i was rank 1 stat for about 5 things that round but i dont think that is actually saved so i would need to get those stats again if i wanted to get that award on my profile thingy.

Didnt play back then, but doesn't the round finish 18:50-19:00GMT now?

Im assuming it did so but in those days - if i assume correct, then Shadow is right. :)

[Twigley]

It finishes 18:00 / 19:00 depending on BST.

[Nitrous]

It finishes 18:00 / 19:00 depending on BST.

Depending on BST yes - but if UK was GMT 0...game would finish 17:50-18:00 tick. iIF UK GMT is +1 then game would finish 18:50-19:00 GMT tick.

Looking at the image over there and 18:21...the last tick...not so sure about...but its either in Havoc or as Shadow said 3 ticks early.

Unless something happened that i don't know about lol :)

my best round in terms of score was pretty boring
World 1, Round 19 - The_Pro of Is_In_The_Pudding [6855]:
40,905,423,901 [Final Rank: 10]

went bunkers alot when i cba to allie or play for real. I remember saying i bet i can make top 10 with bunkers they're that easy, then i called my self the proof is in the pudding, was kinda pleased that i managed it too.

but at the same time it was such a boring round, urd be suprised how much flack people are willing to send at you though. crazy amounts. shame that bunkers/sentries didnt get bonuses on flack that round. else may have done even better

DW came rank 3 i believe. maybe cos of all the bunker solos, was nice. and extrremists and fanatics are still my favourite route to play if you are going to be active. a ******* to steal land at times though.

though i think round 8-9 was also good, new to the game that round but had joined a nice allie and had good social atmosphere

went bunkers alot when i cba to allie or play for real. I remember saying i bet i can make top 10 with bunkers they're that easy, then i called my self the proof is in the pudding, was kinda pleased that i managed it too.

but at the same time it was such a boring round, urd be suprised how much flack people are willing to send at you though. crazy amounts. shame that bunkers/sentries didnt get bonuses on flack that round. else may have done even better

O yeah I remeber your R26-account Grrrrr
I was that Ranger-guy that kept attacking you :P

Shame you always managed to be online :(

[Kuda]

Nah, the angels wings in r9 that BW mentioned weren't Angels from r6, it was just a mass collection of noobs that no matter how many ppl they had still couldn't keep land. We were known as intoxication and had I think 15 members that round. Shame Zane spied on us for Virus at round start. :)

As for powerblocks, I wouldn't class Virus back then as a powerblock as the playerbase was much larger. Virus & VirusTwo in r7 however would have been the first time they used wings I believe.

Core/AppleCore I also wouldn't class as a powerblock as they originally started the round as Core with all members in that one ally. With Azzer changing the game mechanics mid round by adding CRA we split in 2 to avoid it. I think the idea of a 14 person powerblock when the game had over 2000 players comical however :)

Anyway back on topic.
r8 was my best finish with rank 1, Altho I enjoyed r10 more when I finished rank 2 when playing Prot-VD route.

My favourite moment in round 10 was zero'ing Tim (who was SO-SA) with my Violent Demonstrators :)

[BlackWolf]

Yeah Kuda I know it was hilarious idea to say core and appcore would been powerblock my point was exactly that if powerblock means only that how many alliances there are even their member count is not bigger than other allys, then core and appcore were powerblock :P

If instead powerblock is group of top alliances made to beat their competition by mass instead of fighting 1v1 then its powerblock. And only if its coalition made by groups to get that advantage. I couldnt call for example on round 17 and so when ally naps were allowed 2 napped allys to be powerblock.

It seems word powerblock is just so fancy to be used any time your alliance gets their ass kicked by someone else to "justify" your lose that it has made it all sound so ridiculous.

You're kinda contradicting yourself there BW, You say everyone only complained about Virus because of the "ass kicking" you all gave us, and here you are saying applecore/core were perhaps a powerblock.. Because of the "ass kicking" they gave you right? You have your reasons, we have ours.

In my opinion Virus and Core were completely different subjects, purely because Core started out as 1 alliance, and if I remember correctly Virus was at least 3 from the start. We're all just voicing opinions here so try to take it a little less personally. I dont wanna bring out EmoWolf again..

We had no need to justify our loss. We had nothing to prove to anyone, we were all very accomplished players by that time. Its just some of the opinions from our side of the fence were leaning towards the Virus coalition or group or whatever the **** you would call it being dishonourable and a cheap way of taking hold of a round (e.g. Powerblock). Sure it changed things up and looking back on it now its not so bad, but im gonna voice my opinions no matter what, just like you will yours.. You should know that. :)

Its been over 20 rounds, and although I enjoy your ramblings of "justification" I think we should put this one to bed now, unless you have more to add? We'll agree to disagree, yes? I hear theres been better examples of powerblocks since anyways..

[BlackWolf]

I meant that word powerblock is used wrongly by certain players which you obviously belong to, as you cant really state what powerblock means. You only use it when it suites you. You cant give me princibles where word powerblock is based. I can I have given them to you, thats why I said core and applecore as thats how YOU descripe powerblock to be.

Only reason core and applecore were in 2 allys was to avoid CRA... but still based on your opinion of what is powerblock according to what you have said powerblock is any alliance(s) that have more than 1 alliance and are on top, which they were.

As I tried to point out powerblock is not that easy word to use as you must put it to context. Compare whole situation on specific round to what certain alliances have done. Usually people start to throw word powerblock only when they have got their ass kicked by some better group which makes it to be used way too often of wrong situations (in my eyes) and it has put whole word out of its original context.

In my therms for example TBA (if you know whom they were) wasnt really powerblock as they were known to be together since beginning.(As such they couldnt be powerblocking) Too bad playerbase didnt react to them like that. There were together from beginning and even they had 3 alliances and much more players than other allys had we know they were there. As such they were not powerblocking, they fought their way up to top and only after they got to top they were called powerblock which nullfies whole word.

Word powerblocking is more therm at least it was before bushtarion time used in its predecessor PA used to descripe coalition of alliances that happend mid round for example alliances ranked 1 and 2 or 1 and 3 or so to secure their position. They made nap/ally in mid of round and decided not to fight each others but kill their rivals together and as such secure their win. These alliances in this coalition made mid round usually were already alone much stronger than their rivals and that 2nd ranked or so alliance joined that coalition cause they knew they couldnt win and wanted to secure win together. Making them way stronger than others.

Not used of alliances/coalitions that existed before round and were known to everyone. Even if we extend idea of powerblock a bit it still leaves out situations where some group let them be divided to many alliances in game as they like as long as their membercount is in comparison to their rivaling alliances. Also I dont think powerblock can be called something like on r9 where Core was in great lead before was taken down and after that remaining alliances battled. Why would ViruS turn to powerblock only if they claim ranks 1 and 2 or so?

Thats my opinion of word powerblock which comes from ages before bushtarion and has always stayed same. Did ViruS how ever use mass over skill? Yes we did, but that doesnt make us powerblock in my eyes. I have said before that I am not happy of round 9, it was worst round ever and I am shamed of things that happend on that round. I must say tho that I tried to reason with Azzer but he didnt listen and well we all know what was outcome.

[f0xx]

Jesus BW, how do you even have any will to write such a long essay?

[Sir Drumalot]

Come on BW, I was directly effected by the 3 Virus alliances.. 2 we could have defended against but 3 was just too much. So of course im gonna think it was a powerblock, anyone in my situation back then would have.. You all bash me down to nothing. I had 12k land at the time, the most by at least 4k. While your highest land player would have been just over 3k. We had just worked our asses off getting rid of Angelas crew, and then a million noobs attack me. So of course im gonna think it was cheap tactic, anyone in my situation would have.

The only thing I honestly feel Virus had going for them, is they didnt leak a single thing. Me and Sordes were on top because our intel was second to none, well as we thought. Obviously in the end it wasnt that great for that round.

You're a talented player/leader BW, but you surrounded yourself with mass noobs that round. Luckily the majority have left the game now. I think you could do much better and feel much better about a win with just one alliance of people you know you can trust.

[BlackWolf]

Mate when you didnt play I have been part of this community since round 5. I have played pretty much all rounds and very many of those in V back in the day are well respected members of this community today. I am happy of our tactics on that round, what I was referring to was CRA and how it affected that round and how I was put to position to blackmail Azzer to remove CRA or put artificial limit on score people can grow.

You tell yourself now that ViruS was powerblock even we had not even won and were not even rank 1, which is even funnier. You sound bitter of losing to us back then and justifying your powerblock word using with that. I would like you to explain what is powerblock. What situations/things makes some alliance, group of alliances or hell what ever that makes you to call something with word powerblock.

Have you noticed how your wording, its usage and your message changes from post to post? You obviously are trying to drive some for me unknown agenda against ViruS even ViruS has been dead since round 14 but on r17 and 30 with small try. Yet I have leaded alliances to victory with even 1 alliance usage only. Which you obviously didnt bother to check... assuming I have not ever lead alliance made of 1 alliance only to success.

[Twigley]

R9 Virus alliance was not full of noobs thank you very much.

[BlackWolf]

After all this powerblock stuff I must say I am no offence Marty but pretty proud of what I did for your team on R20 or was it 21...
I am probably one and only guy who has been able to make whole "resistance" (you were not rank 1) out of nothing and made solo account only to beat you and with forum stuff managed to get you really pissed and eventually, I made alliance and won whole round. I must say that to be my best achievement of all times.

[Sir Drumalot]

My definition back then of a powerblock was any alliance that needed more than 1 nap to make their way through the game. Yours werent even naps, they were permanent alliances. You cant pull the "resistance" card either, because even though we were rank 1 alliance the round was far from decided.

So no matter how many or how long your posts you put up I will always think what I thought back then.. So we'll agree to disagree and be done with ancient history.. Ok?

Round 24.. Retarted, we were #1 in ally points and bounty hunting, legion or something had the value rank , you made cagnes, and to be fair, you sort of used more allies than your own then as well, because once you hit us, you strongarmed the other alliances into staying on us at the risk of you coming after them. You hit us so near the end of the round there was no chance for recovery once you sicked the other allies on us l.


Round 21 was TRFC and you couldn't have toppled us if you tried.

[tobapopalos]

Hmm...I know this thread is just blatant ego-stroking but I'm bored, tired and have decided to post anyway.

There are probably only two rounds I'm really proud of. I've led a few decent alliances and portalled a few times, but my favourite round I didn't do either.

I think that was the round I truly played my best, despite my rankings not being that great. Started off in LeftOvers and, as it was LO, we had trouble with spies. I was thief route. Got off to a good start but then all the inc started appearing. I was rank 1 in kills and defences sent with HTs even after PBs were out, and was still growing pretty quickly as well. Got up to rank 15 as you can see and then got waved by SOTB and lost like 3k of my 6k acres :P With all the incoming LO actually got up to rank 1 in alliance points, purely from defending. After a while certain circumstances led to me and a few others leaving, and I joined EventHorizon, where I spent the rest of the round.

We dealt with a hell of a lot of incoming from all the alliances above us usually working together (Protest, Geno and Ren being the main offenders) and we sent pretty much every one of them packing, until finally all of the alliances above us (we were rank 6 I believe) hit us at the same time and there was really nothing we could do about it. It was a great round because of all the challenges put in front of us, and despite the alliance not having the best activity or contactability, we performed admirably as a group, and had a lot of fun along the way.

The other round I'm rather fond of was last round. I had an ID from the first tick, but did nothing until about 4 weeks from the end of the round. I logged in just a few hours before my ID was going to be deleted for inactivity, and bought some land. Then I started a development or two...then I decided since I was online I may as well try and find a small inactive alliance to sit around in, and I found myself in EventHorizon (again). So I started attacking, and I started growing, and about 3 weeks from the end of the round I was fully developed and bounty hunting:

Round 17 and 18 was fun in the allys of beeker(evolution and escalation). Good all times.

R 22 first time I lead(ATHF), I still remember when we were rank 2 we made an attack on ashes one night only us and we actually hurt them, they were like "oh we didndt expect that" was really fun, ofc we werent rivals for them so the next weekend they raped us :P. but on the end we finished rank 2.

R 24 Lead Legends and won for the first time, alot of fun with tons of wars.

R 27 I created Jizz and till the time I had to leave because I just didnt have the time to lead anymore because of some RL shitwas alot of fun .Then Hero took over and secure the win.

R 29 I told azlev I wanted to make Khaos a ftw ally so he selected 5 old best khaos members and I put the rest. It was a great round and it was the ally with the best defence I have been in, specially taking into account it was a round of 5 minutes tick, just awesome.

[GUUUff]

Round 12, BeautifulChaos - Shadow of Darkness - we killed 17 alliances in 1 round with the help of NeverSurrender on a few of them :P

Round 13:

First time to get a win, leaded by BlackWolf when i was just a noob who started playing 2/3 rounds ago without understanding ****. I didnt knew any ratios or ****, was just too stupid to get it. I have been rank 2 for more than a week and that was awesome for being a new player. Last week i didnt have time to keep it up, and got rushed 24/7, so just had to park troops at HQ and gave up 20k land, which took me to finnish rank 15.

Round 20:
After that round, i "quited" for few rounds, and got back on round 20, to get alliance win again, even if top10 was full of solos lol.
Interesting round, we started in Scream, got the top very fast and kept it for some time.
One night, when were attaking when we got 20 incomings per member. It was like hell. Totally sleepie, without stengh, we got PWNED.
After that, some players quited, and we all went to Guernica, again, leaded by BlackWolf, who took us to the win.
