And I suppose that wasn't the case? I recall asking 4/5 alliances to participate in a hit and the people who did send were: 10 from Combo, 4 from Anagram, 2 each from TDA, Bribe, Pee-wee and Melons. Alright, that makes more than 15 people but we were definately nowhere near big enough put together to deal any significant damage

I am indeed inactive. I have also never been in Khaos, Leftovers or Dutch Angels, so whilst I'm flattered for being mentioned, I don't understand why I was

I would like to point out about the resistance it would have been very easy to take down kiwi we was behind in techs most of us was land fat and just had flak but because it gave us score most assumed we was to big to do anything to, but im saying that from being in kiwi i know what we had at the time and the activity that we had, if the resistance had hit us 12 hours earlier you would have hurt us badly and stole land.

So tobapopalos and anyone else who is planning a resistance or thinking of join one (btw this is in no way suggesting that tobapopalos planned this rounds resistance) might want to focus on that particular round and situation instead of thinking well it hasnt worked for a while so this one wont

Maybe Angela, but considering the inactive gits that participated in the resistance, and the r2-10 alliances in general.. The resistance had no chance

As Toby pointed out eariler in the round in the resistance thread (i think) which is exactly what i was thinking,

It is pointless stating that a resistance by a group of ftf allies could have been successful if they were more ftw.

People seem to think FTF is synonomous with "incompetent". This isn't true. The resistance this round had a perfectly good chance of working, due to mistakes from Kiwi at around that time, and it only didn't because of unfortunate planning, good defence planning (thank you willy), timing and a degree of luck/propaganda.

As willy will no doubt back me up, even the numbers that sent had the capability to really hurt Kiwi. It failed mostly because we tried to make it look like they had no chance and discourage the attacks. It worked for long enough for us to catch up in techs and by the time the later attempts were made we had cemented our lead.

Don't blame everything on the fact the alliances were "FTF" .. There was still a solid core of resistance members who wanted to take us down enough to try. Not everyone in those alliances (thankfully for us) but enough to give it a good go. I was thoroughly impressed with the resistance efforts and it kept the round interesting for us for a while longer.

Hey Coruba, didn't know you were a Kiwi! Why didn't you apply mate? Automatic entry to NZers!

What was your ID/name? PM me if you don't want it out there, just curious as you said you held Rank 1 and I remember everyone who did but don't know which one you were

I think that, generally speaking, TBA had a much harder time of it last round than Kiwi did. I thought TBA would go down under the combined strength of Charades, EH and Mo Dakka (two of which were FTW alliances), but they survived. Therefore, I never doubted that kiwi would be capable of repelling a few FTF alliances.

But I think you are also right to say that earlier resistances are more effective resistances. Surely the best extrapolation is to say that if you want to beat rank 1, you should be hitting them with flak on the first day guys and gals!!!

When i went solo i think i was in top 100 most of the time besides me not hitting sleep mode and getting inc from combo/anr alot say whatever you want but i know your just mad i zeroed a few of your ally players.

Anyone who talks to me ingame should not take it serious as this is just a game and i do it for fun. Same with mailz


Who in the hell is WTFFudge? A random scallynoob?
I had no clue you targeted ScallyWags lol that was probably before I joined up, haven't been a member for very long... And I didn't mention ANYTHING about your solo capabilities I clearly stated you in an alliance wasn't a good combination with your troops. Please stop taking it personally and turning this into aggression that's really not necessary when all I did was state your troop combination for an alliance isn't even remotely good.

Oh and as for who I am I'm an elite old school player making a return and using a new name, this is the last post I will make on this subject - You will see next round when I have a full round.
For one i ain't mad i dont get mad over something so silly just stating.
Whatever you wanna say about my setup. But thats why im rank 20 for serial killer? Besides the fact that i dont boast on how pro i am like you. This is my first round as PA and i really dont think i did too bad finishing top 20 in basically every day. Nuff said
Well for one - Good job considering this is your first round lol.

I haven't boasted going on and on about how pro I am - I just stated that I'm an elite old school player which is true and that this round has been a late start for me so next round so you will see alot more of me in the top ranks next round.

I see alot has changed in bushtarion, I would've loved these changes years ago (Fantasy route in particular) with the player base at an all time high several years ago things were much more difficult to lead an alliance that had such a big value and keep it for an entire round (Like kiwi did) back then.

I don't mean to get in the middle of this, but calling yourself "elite" is hardly the hallmark of a humble man. If you are so elite why don't you tell us all your old name and we can decide for ourselves whether you are or not, rather than carrying on this "old legend returns with new nick" facade.

EDIT: Actually, don't bother. I don't care.

Dimitar, CK triggered on 0 AR the other day too

The resistance needed to happen when it did otherwise we might as well have counted combo out as their rpg/strikers didn't want to plant up until their SA's got SA's and all of them were slow to get them. I agree that early resistance is better but once kiwi had 3 pb players and ANR had one and combo had none nobody really wanted to continue. I don't have a clue as to what Rowan's "propaganda" is but it definitely didn't have an effect on us.

Rowan's propaganda was sooo funny - I don't think it could actually have been more obvious xD

I change my worst player of the round from "that one fag" to "leeroy" (No, they're not the same person) for triggering on a solo with 0% AR


I'm reposting this here because it was wrongfully moved.

I'd really not tell anyone anyway, that's my decision to make please respect it.

I will just take back what about I said being an elite bushtarion player, you can judge for yourself based on next round. The old strong bushtarion players have either quit by now or given up there isn't many left with the exception of Twigley (who I have great respect for) well done this round btw dude.

I wish more players would have the enthusiasm you have for the game still.

*Edit* PoDunk and Max is still around, didn't know that... Them too then
