<@Dimitar> they see 69
<@Dimitar> and then they think

<@Dimitar> so they recall and go watch porn.
<+Zakkgard> ive done that..

<@Dimitar> regardless of our routes

 

[Garrett2]

alliance of the round - none. ALL were pretty meh. a couple (tba, smeg, scally) had flashes of gloriousness, but never really capitalized on anything.

alliance with the least life - smeg, and they won because of it.

worst player - something (who i couldn't nail down between icy, polo or cyrus - but now cyrus is public). on one side of the coin - you could say they used their ally mates to great effect, but this is exactly why i say the worst: For a route that has proven itself to be a beast by itself - something never stole land early on without help. no one else got land, but they had to use all their quick units for the benefit of 1 solitary person who could not effectively use their route. that level of selfishness has never set well with me in an alliance setting. boo on whoever you are.

best leader - all who kept their alliance together in tough times. no alliance this round got through unscathed.

defense - defense is easy. attacking tactics have become garbage over the past few rounds. people do a calc and recall. never bothering to check to see if it's fake or not. no awards, because defensive beasts who always defend know who they are and are usually the same people. they are the rocks of any alliance. kudos to you defensive monsters.

offense - early hits by tba's bribing set up rocked. early route advantage. jjbro's attacks worked, but didn't plan past the first day. twigley's resistance hits worked, but participation waned after the first day. so all in all except for a few flashes, it was meh. smeg farmed bots n such until they had their routes finished and a troop lead, but was never spectacular from an offensive standpoint. filling the guff with piles of troops doesn't make you the best offensively. just helped you win. you won, but not impressively.

honourable mention: dead man inc - even after dubel g dissed them and made his splinter factions - they held on and kept going forward. yay.

player of the round - addicted. twigley stopped logging in because of RL and he and block tried to keep things going, but it was a losing fight. addicted never gave up. never let people die without a fight. he's good peoples. honourable mention would be block. mostly because i shared time zones with addicted and during my most active times, he was at the helm.

solo - i don't pay attention to solos except when i need quick acres. thanks to all you solos that donated to my cause. (most of you)

best moments of the round - any BR. that's what the game is about. but also having jjbro plan before he deleted due to rl commitments and twigley plan. these were the only 2 overwhelmingly successful times. smeg can talk all they want and they did well to keep it together, but they got severe black eyes and lost much land both times these 2 set loose the dogs of war.

worst moments - seeing posts about leader's inactivity and while cheerleaders were doing their best, i could see and feel the lack of participation across the board. feeling the loss of potential is one of the worst feelings out there.

 

[Cyrus]

* Alliance of the round - Shituation - We fought our own all the way through this round and never resorted to underhand tactics to get where we are.

* Best Offensive Alliance - Shituation - Had 3-4 of us willing to plan which helped as it would mix up the tactics which resulted in us picking apart all 3 alliances that were fighting up top (before we returned the mass incs favor on 1 target )

TBA get some credit for their hit on the second weekend of the round, well played, that really hurt us before we managed to get the dev advantage on your spammed low eta units

* Best Defensive Alliance - Shituation - Resistance was beat, need i say anymore

* Honourable Mention Alliance - DeadManInc - not enough of this left in the game

* Worst Alliance - TBA - Constantly whining and trash talking, backed that up with absolutely nothing and wanted to 2v1 us since week 3 of this round when we were rank 2 and they were rank 3 (asked rank 1 for help xD). BIG LULZ.

This does not apply to all TBA members but the actions of a few, made the whole alliance look like this.

* Best Leader - WUT

* Worst Leader - Where to start..

* Player of the Round - Allied - This is a tough one, i have to give complete credit to Terra, Icy and Timmiejj, these guys helped create our core (Me and Timmiejj were active during the day and Terra and Icy at night)

* Player of the Round - Solo - Really no idea what went on solo but i guess Martin get's this for his bounty hunting.

* Best Offensive Player - FeRito is just plain beast with the damage he does every round

* Best Defensive Player - Polo - Easily the best person left playing to organise defence, it's been a relief to share the defensive duties around with someone, last round was manic.

* Honourable Mention Player(s) - Icy, Polo, Timmiejj, Chris_, Josse, Terra, Daniel, Janpe, FeR, Ogluk, Elle, Elderveld, Ryan, Stevey, LS_, Beasteh, ToY, Reaper and No_Dachi (for the last bit of the round) - we had a few suicides along the way as did most, i think i've suicided about 3 times this round at least but still we powered through and everyone worked together as a unit which was a wrecking ball. (xD)

Our nightcover also deserves extra recognition, we had 4-5 nightcover who somehow kept us safe when only two of them could prank

LS and Terra for their endless doggy sacrifice for the greater good <3

* Worst Player(s) - Anybody breaking the rules, using underhand tactics and going into sleepmode whilst allied.

* Best Moment of Round - Beating the resistance #SmileyCyrus

* Worst Moment of Round - Getting the first resistance incs when i was at an indian on a stag do, naan in one hand, mobile in the other, got 0'd still. too pro.

 

[Twigley]

* Best Offensive Alliance - Shituation. I really liked how you capitalised on the fact we had mass ninja / sorc and 3 tick attacked. Meaning we couldnt risk last ticking but were forced into first tick or losing land. I mean yeah it took like around 4 days to get back the land we stole in 3 waves but still, it was the right war tactic for the situation. EDIT: Negative rep for the 10 man on a tick with followers.

* Honourable Mention Alliance - I was about to give this to Cori then i remembered all the whining they did when we massed them for easy land and when they decided to piggying solos and multis on us as 'revenge'. Anndd, call us cheats and spies without realising we got it from a bribe list.

* Worst Leader - Ninja - You didnt lead at any point from what i heard. Dimitar. Just so negative and for all 2 hour he popped in for the resistance it was just a stream of negativity which saw him banned from the resistance channel. Im surprised he kicked up a fuss with what's being discussed in the other thread.

* Players of the Round - Allied - You know who you are in TBA. Ed, Polo. Was going to give this to Webvictim as his ingame play was solid but the whole crying cheating and spying was lame.

* Best Offensive Player - Zhouj/Mateen. Zhouj was a DON at bribing and Mateen whores land really well from his multis.

* Best Defensive Player - You know who you are in TBA. Whoever that Reaper guy is in Shtuation. Always there with defence.

* Worst Player - Tiger for rage quitting after being very mediocre. AJ and Ice for being utter penis'. The solos that piggied the mutli solo on us when we restarted.

* Best Moment of Round - Restarting and having masses of incs but real will and determination to get back rebuilt. Enjoyed being under the cosh and defending what seemed undefendable with barely any units. This was the most fun I'd had in bush in a long long time.

* Worst Moment of Round - Work pulling me away from the game for a good 2 weeks solid. Knowing that we could have done so much better if we had kicked some other alliances up the ass and been a bit more innovative on resistance attacks but not having the time or energy after an 80 hour week to babysit people.

Also it sucked when JJ got pulled away for the same reason at the start. Had a nice lead and landing on Shtuation was pretty easy but he had to stop planning and i was busy

* Most Idiotic rumour - That Nightmares alliance was our wing. It was Discworld rejects that Asmo had failed to get a spot to. Didn't talk to them at all after round start. Why Elderveld hasnt confirmed that yet i do not know. He led them apparently for a bit.

* Worst Forum persona's - Cyrus and Dax. To a point the banter with Cyrus was good but then it got really repetitive and i think he started to beleive the rubbish he was making up. Dax for being banned and spouting hysterical nonsnse.

* Best Hashtag - #UnSmileyCyrus

* Worst Hashtag - #SmileyCyrus

Id play with any of TBA again in a heartbeat. Have time for every single member and I'd like to publicly say thanks for what has been a roller coaster of a round.

This thread makes my head hurt.

 

[Elevnos]

* Alliance of the round - TBA for the second half, not so much the first for obvious reasons!

* Best Offensive Alliance - TBA, only for the second half of the round too!

* Best Defensive Alliance - Sh*tuation, they dealt with all of the resistance stuff very well although I do believe if they had put some effort into organising attacks the round would've been over much sooner.

* Honourable Mention Alliance - Squirrels for their land stealing, ScallyWags for their defending.

* Worst Alliance - Cori, moaning at the start and being non-existent from there onwards.

* Best Leader - Twigley when he's been playing.

* Worst Leader - No idea...

* Player of the Round - Allied - Lots from TBA tbh, don't know about many others.

* Player of the Round - Solo - Chris/DaX I suppose!

* Best Offensive Player - Goku for his land stealingz.

* Best Defensive Player - Evans was always on when I pranked him

* Honourable Mention Player - Addicted/Block for stepping up well!

* Worst Player - Tiger for his shipjumping

* Best Moment of Round - Realising the resistance might work.

* Worst Moment of Round - Realising the resistance wouldn't work.

 

[Stevey]

* Alliance of the round - Cori Celesti. Playing green beats playing for score

* Best Offensive Alliance - TBA for their resistance efforts (Scally also, to a lesser extent)

* Best Defensive Alliance - Sh*tuation. Impressed with the work Polo/Cyrus put in.

* Honourable Mention Alliance - Cori Celesti. For putting their middle finger up to the masses and dying honourably for refusing to play house.

* Worst Alliance - ADH, only due to their poor decision making in whether to stay/recall on attacks. You had decent activity and troops, but you seemed to stay and hope on nearly every attack you sent on Shituation.

* Best Leader - Toby. Wait, it's round 50, so probably Cyrus. Top top effort from you.

* Worst Leader - No one springs to mind.

* Player of the Round - Allied - Cyrus/FeR

* Player of the Round - Solo - Havent paid enough attention to notice anyone, sry.

* Best Offensive Player - Edd i probably noticed the most outside of Sh*tuation.

* Best Defensive Player - LS/Terra - for the selfless play.

* Honourable Mention Player - Ogluk/Elle - Always a pleasure.

* Worst Player - Myself. Playing no more than around 30mins a day, idling in IRC.

* Best Moment of Round - The many decent BRs on display this round.

* Worst Moment of Round- New job, not having time to play.

I really wasn't around much, so everything above is rendered moot.

 

[Terrakan]

* Alliance of the round - none have really stood out

* Best Offensive Alliance - the top 4 at some point was good offensively

* Best Defensive Alliance - scally/tba/cori could never get through on my own always had to have help

* Honourable Mention Alliance - empire/dead man inc for sticking it out

* Worst Alliance - ADH sorry but you had the troops and the contactability but did nothing with it

* Best Leader - Cyrus just for the pure lulz we've had, kept us together when **** hit the fan at the 2 points in the round

* Worst Leader - none stood out imo

* Player of the Round - Allied - people in Shituation, always a pleasure playing with you guys, outside of this probably Gokualex bloody annoying with his rushes and always there defending

* Player of the Round - Solo - didn't pay much attention but whoever 2226 is and martin

* Best Offensive Player - none really stood for me but yet again wasn't paying to much attention outside of Shituation

* Best Defensive Player - the guys in Shituation when needed were awesome, especially polo and cyrus for the defensive planning! Outside of Shituation Gokualex, Garret, Edd, James were always always there defending whenever I spied an attack I sent on

* Honourable Mention Player -

* Worst Player - I didn't really pay much attention to anyone outside Shituation so none

* Best Moment of Round - the huge BR's that I was apart of were so much fun / beating LS at dogs lost this round

* Worst Moment of Round- falling asleep on attack thinking I'll be safe with the guys I sent with only to wake up to about 10missed calls and 4 different whatsapp messages and 0 troops as they all recalled lol

 

[Gazzy]

* Alliance of the round - SMEG. The resistance was lame, but you guys never missed a step. Sterling work.

* Honourable Mention Alliance - Dead Man and Empire for sticking it out while the resistance raped you.

* Best Leader - Cyrus. I joined him for the end of last round and know how much effort he puts in. So I imagine that a fair portion of SMEGs success is due to him.

* Player of the Round - Stargazer. First time playing together (I think) and genuinely impressed by his drive to keep going, no matter what.

* Honourable Mention Player - Boogie. Always there on defense and never *****es or moans.

* Worst Moment of Round - Getting smashed to from Rank 1 to Rank 5 then (almost) no one bothering to take part in the resistance.

* Best Moment of Round - Leading a suicidal charge on Cori which pretty much killed both alliances. After a month of a stalemate (aka resistance) it was fun. I regret nothing.

 

[Dimitar]

Guess I'll make a proper post, rather than my usual 3 liner (which I already posted I think)

* Alliance of the round - Shituation - They did well to build up a good lead, and did even better to hold their place. Also I feel tjhey deserve credit for not bashing lower alliances over and over again at the start, but got their lead while being relatively honourable (in the real world sense, not the in-game mechanic sense)

* Best Offensive Alliance - Shituation - I wasn't very active this round, so I've no idea what actually happened, but as far as I'm aware they're the only alliance who didn't send 5+ people on a tick at us. Yes, that's fairly subjective, but let's face it - so is every other post in this thread.

* Best Defensive Alliance - I didn't attack nearly enough to be able to tell. Though if there was a worst defensive alliance award, I'd give it to Scallywags. It's just that in my slightly more active period I managed to kill 5 of their members with 6 stealth rushes. Also if I remember correctly they sent A LOT of stuff to last tick my assassins, when I clearly had no stealth geos in my mobs, giving me free kills and honour.

* Honourable Mention Alliance - Scallywags - despite what I said above, they seemed to improve as the round went on and did really well for an alliance of their stature

* Worst Alliance - Squirrels. Again, I wasn't paying much attention, but I got a really bad vibe off them. They seemed to care way too much about the free land (during the resistance, and before/after it attacking Cori). Also despite what Twigley said in his post, I was actually quite active in the Resistance at first, even helped plan a wave. What I got from that experience was that Squirrels didn't put any effort in, and were just in it for the land/score gains.

* Best Leader - I don't know if ed led, but he did a fair bit of planning for the resistance, so I'll give it to him

* Worst Leader - Noone. I'd give it to myself in a heartbeat, because I wasn't involved in anything, but at the end of the day(round) we achieved our goals to stay green, finish at a decent position, and leave our mark on this round. I'd like to think I played a part in that.

* Player of the Round - Allied - Webby and PI were the most active in Cori. And I don't mean active in the traditional "ticks online" way, but they actually did things while they were online, rather than just idling. Souls did well too, but he jumped ship, so he loses cool guy points.

* Player of the Round - Solo - Don't know

* Best Offensive Player - Martin seems to be leading the BH tables with quite a margin

* Best Defensive Player - lilow, because what are awards without her?

* Honourable Mention Player - Stevey, for no specific reason

* Worst Player - Changer for every reason. And Mateen obviously... ****ing Mateen

* Best Moment of Round - Coming up with a revolutionary defensive tactic, which will change the game forever.

* Worst Moment of Round - Souls leaving/getting bashed into the ground at round start/Anything Caranthir was involved in

 

[jamesNchina]

* Alliance of the round - Shitbirds.. although towards the end I was not impressed with their 5-10 on tick just to have something to do
* Best Offensive Alliance - Shitbirds.. non-stop after they had already won. TBA managed some proper waves after they stopped being lazy and figured just sitting on seeds to stay out of range may not put them in 2nd..
* Best Defensive Alliance - Everyone mentions Shitbirds here because of success repelling the resistance.. but with the exception of the first few waves.. resistance planning was crap.. tbh wouldn't take much to stop that.. I give this to Scally we did a great job of holding off attacks from the top down.. though it did take an incredible amount of training of the Scally vets
* Honourable Mention Alliance - Cori
* Worst Alliance - Squirrels ..from beginning to end for reasons too numerous to mention
* Best Leader - Rooster - easy going, humble, and tough since he has to battle on Bush AND wife in RL
* Worst Leader - Rooster for being willing to keep on people for the sole reason they played with Scally before.
* Player of the Round - Allied - fat Albert, Dooboo, Edd - always there with pro advice and activity
* Player of the Round - Solo - Chris'O
* Best Offensive Player - ??
* Best Defensive Player - DooBoo, fat Albert, Ed, and my self for always being there.. TBA with Garrett was crazy contactable and was near impossible to land on.
* Honourable Mention Player - FFX-monster when not lazy . Lucas, Jaam, Chris, Ryan, Jono, Nici. Oh and Stilli
* Worst Player - Yoda- Dies 4 out of 5 attacks - the fifth is when attacking some poor lowly solo sod - doesn't seem to have a clue even with advice. Phobis- attacks for personal stats does not make for a successful attack post if it doesn't help the team score. Hope you and several of the other Scally vets learned that all in suicidal defense doesn't help the alliance at all.. If you did Scally would stop being the land farm it is famous for, despite inactivity and non-contactability
* Best Moment of Round - when it ends
* Worst Moment of Round- being pranked in the middle of sex with my wife :/

 

[LS_]

* Alliance of the round - Shituation - Won the round despite having me in the alliance. 1st time in 6(?) rounds we haven't thrown it away to resistance.

* Best Offensive Alliance - The only alliance that hit us alone successfully was TBA and before the route set ups screwed them they did well. Most dangerous ally in resistance too. Not sure we would have won if they hadn't all gone bribing routes.

* Best Defensive Alliance - Polo. Made the resistance hits look worse than they were.

* Honourable Mention Alliance - Scallywags - Always seemed to have a wall of dangerous units to fight despite having next to no income.

* Worst Alliance/Leader - ADH - Crumbled under pressure twice and didn't take advantage when R1. Made terrible calls in defence and attack. Needed a few more experienced players.

* Best Leader - Cyrus - Recruited all the right people. Planned almost everything offensively. Planned defence well. Always pranked everyone. Led from the front.

* Player of the Round - Allied - Polo or Cyrus. Cant decide which. Wouldn't have won without them.

* Player of the Round - Solo - Probably Martin. Didn't notice too much as most of the inc/out was to alliances.

* Best Offensive Player - Reaper (lol jk). Cyrus, FeR, Timmiejj. Outside of us would say gokualex for persistence.

* Best Defensive Player - Timmiejj, ToY, Terra, Icy, Polo. Outside of us edd and James ALWAYS seemed to be real against us.

* Honourable Mention Player - Terra was great night cover and beat me for dogs had killed. Dachi for epic catching up.

* Worst Player - Reaper - Always seemed to be 0ed or defending in the wrong place on the wrong tick.

* Best Moments of Round
- Killing more of TBA in one plan than Cyrus had managed in 4,520.
- Not losing to resistance.
- Achieving my only aim of the round: to hire and kill 1b dogs.

* Worst Moments of Round
- Not being able to send attacks for fear of retals.
- Not having any internet connection in Malta when resistance hits were coming in.
- Dying on an attack because of Infinity Blade.
- Not getting pranked on and letting goku through.

 

[Addicted]

* Alliance of the round - Shituation - they won the round.
* Best Offensive Alliance - TBA before JJ ditched and Twigs got busy, otherwise nothing out of the ordinary
* Best Defensive Alliance - TBA and Shituation - TBA fended off a lot of ****'s attacks early on in the round. Shituation played smart defense during the resistance efforts after the first weekend.
* Honourable Mention Alliance - Empire/Dead Man Inc
* Worst Alliance - Dont know, dont care.
* Best Leader - Twigley/JJ before **** hit the fan at work for Twigley and before JJ actually had a life.
* Worst Leader - Dont know, dont care.
* Player of the Round - Allied - Garrett, always there to defend any inc at any time and sends on any attack at any point of day/night.
* Player of the Round - Solo - Martin is the only one that stuck out, everyone else was either quiet, a multi or too small to see.
* Best Offensive Player - No one comes to mind since the resistance so long, however after that edd was a ***** to cover
* Best Defensive Player - Garrett - always online to defend anything even against his counter routes! Apart from TBA, the nightcover for Scally (sorry dont know your names), LS because of his damn dogs and Elle (she's always online!)
* Honourable Mention Player(s) - Block, Flamey, Garrett - these people were the rocks of the alliance. Block and Flamey are always pranking and always willing to prank whenever! Garrett for just being awesome nightcover when we are slacking BIG TIME, especially near the home stretch. All awesome and selfless players. Also special mention to all of TBA, a fantastic group of players and has been a pleasure to play with all of you .
* Worst Player - Dont know, dont care.
* Best Moment of Round - JJ's planning on shituation at the beginning and Twigley's plan with resistance on the first weekend. Round ending.
* Worst Moment of Round - JJ and Twigs finding lives away from bush. Knowing that if we had started without a bribing setup we would have won the round.

 

[Elevnos]

* New worst moment of the round - Waking up 1 tick after round end and finding out that I finished rank 51 after being killed that night.

I hd enough seeds to get to rank 50 and portal -.-

 

[Rooster]

Can only post on what i know.

* Alliance of the round - SCallyWags
* Best Offensive Alliance -
* Best Defensive Alliance - SCallyWags
* Honourable Mention Alliance - TBA
* Worst Alliance -
* Best Leader -Rooster for putting up with the likes of al and bj
* Worst Leader - Rooster- For not kicking the weakest link

* Best Defensive Player - ed,james,albert,dooboo
* Honourable Mention Player -many other ScallyWags that came to play. Too many to list

* Best Moment of Round - JamesnChina and Ed joining us and raising the bar for the round
* Worst Moment of Round- resistance, if it worked would be the best moment. but it didnt. so it was not.

 

[webvictim]

* Alliance of the round - Smeguation. I can't deny that you got the win - you were more than a little boring about doing it (Polo sitting at rank 1 with that awful route for weeks on end) but I guess that's all it takes these days.

* Best Offensive Alliance - TBA (pre-restart). As much as you were irritating *******s at the start with whatever bribing you did, you really had us under the cosh. We couldn't do anything except lose land and troops to you. The bashing was pretty unoriginal but that's what it's come to.

* Best Defensive Alliance - Cori. We stopped way more land losses than we should've given how idle we were and how few members we actually had online most of the time. I'd have given this to Smeguation but the resistance attacks weren't really that good. We had a rule of no eta 2 reveal stealth right at the beginning which screwed most of the the LT defence tactic but we couldn't stick with it due to low number. Pretty bad news.

* Honourable Mention Alliance - Cori. We set out to have fun and finish top H/F and we did both. Great bunch of people, however idle.

* Worst alliance - ADHD. Seriously, you guys were bad. You had all the potential in the world but you couldn't defend or attack for toffee. It was a shame. Crispy Donuts a close second for being an awful bunch of cheaters.

* Best Leader - Twigley. Regardless of the fact that he was idle and the fact that he tends to let his mouth get the better of him on the forums, he did a good job of leading TBA.

* Worst Leader - Dimitar. Well, I say that, he was okay and I suppose he did what he said he was going to.

* Player of the round, allied - addicted/Blockatiel/Gokualex/Chris - all these guys did a great job repeatedly attacking during the resistance despite everything going round

* Player of the round, solo - didn't really notice many solos this round.

* Best Offensive Player - Souls. Constantly rushing, attacking and killing people. Well and truly put in a load of effort.

* Best Defensive Player - PI/LuckySports. Always online for defence, always helping out.

* Honourable Mention Player - Souls. Others in Cori dislike him because of the shipjump at the end but I understand why he did.

* Worst Player - nobody really comes to mind.

* Best Moment of the Round - catching Polo with 5 mobs out and 80m terrorists at home. They got nommed.

* Worst Moment of the Round - the two weeks where the resistance was basically dead, we had no targets and nobody was man enough to call it off.
