You hit mass sleep mode, Thats as good as giving up to me. Maybe I just have high standards for being stubborn? But I'd still be fighting if I was you guys. You could have lasted through the weekend and then went back on the offensive starting monday.

The point of contention was "without a fight", not "giving up". Of course we gave up, but it was after a fortnight of high stress and activity and the prospect of at least another fortnight of it if we continued. We didn't want that, sorry.

I don't know how I can make this more clear. Without a fight is what I'm arguing against.

Sorry, without a fight and giving up are the same to me I guess ^_^ I suppose if I were more correct with my defnitions, then my original statement was incorrect, you guys DID fight, but then you gave up.

To me, giving up isn't really an option.. too many people do it already. ^_^ Sorry for the confusion.

I meant our alliance situation in general. I suspect you've never been in our position before; otherwise you wouldn't be positing such a ridiculous series of assumptions in forums.

Then you've never been in our position lol. And thus should not comment.

Your situation of giving up? There's a reason for that..

I'm sure there is, however, politeness prevents me from illustrating it in public. :(

illistrate it? :O Pretty sure porn is not aloud on here :p


but really? I'm pretty sure I was in a WORSE situation last round, where I was leading an alliance that got triple-teamed by the top 3 alliances.. How's that for your "situation" ?

Wasn't paying much attention last round, but it can't have been very close to this round's affairs, otherwise you wouldn't be making such an asshat out of yourself on forums while making wild accusations and absurd assumptions about an alliance you aren't in, and simply don't understand :p Thanks for the entertainment though :p

Illustrate can mean more than just pictures/diagrams, by the way.

Nothing wild or absurd other than your use of the words "accusations" and "assumptions" :p

Not really LS - None of it was organized on any level. Ours were two alliances of co-ordinated waves, and two alliances piggybacking.
Yours last round was 4/5 members from 2 alliances, and 3/4 from another sending attacks to a few people. That happens alot, though what happens to us I personally haven't seen in a long time.

That's funny that DaX where you in the alliance to see exactly what incoming we had?

Your point is null and void, just a mere fabrication of your imagination.

Cyclic arguments are fun because they're cyclic and that makes them fun and that's because they're cyclic which is why they're fun which is why they're fun which is *BRAIN MELTDOWN*

I agree with what Davs said.

Because I'm amazing and often drift in many others' alliance channels. :>

It was more than that.. when we had incoming from the 3 alliances at once, it was 10+ people from 1 alliance, 7-8 from another, and around 5-6 from the 3rd..

Pile on the fact that most of my members were UC.. we did a great job holding back the hordes while we could, but we eventually got overwhelmed, and people started sleeping through pranks.. I held out for as long as I could before passing out.. Woke up 24hrs later to an alliance where everyone not in sleep was zeroed, and those those raped down to less than 3k acres... over 100k acres gone in 24hrs..

And Dax, you may have floated around, but you were never in my alliance. :p I put notes on everyone I kicked or left, and if I remember correctly, you were in the rank 2 ally all round.

Yes - It's a relatively bad habit of mine, staying in one alliance for the whole round. ;D

New best alliance of the round - Bribemania.
Score:Land ratio is very impressive. The honourable playstyle is beginning to pay off, it appears.

DaX, how little you know about this round and how much you've been kept in the dark and only seen a fraction of the story, is begining to be pretty embarassing.
Also the fact i am posting in a thread which has become fail and should be locked makes me embarassed too :(
