all is fun and games then. It was a good round, someone has to lose if someone is to win, unfortunantly.
Yes, but it is a war game after all, and as in real life the smaller countries have to ma concessions to the bigger countries. I agree the planet comp is the problem where the comp is way more then the family can give. But how do we fix this problem? Becuase it manifest itself every round where something needs to be done or do we accept that this is a part of the game and should not be frowned upon but considered a viable strategy?
You can always vulture another family, but keep in mind the community will know you are vulturing, and thus you have to accept the fact that while you are busy vulturing one fam, another will do the same to you.
I think vulturing should be part of the game. Simply because it is a viable tactic.
And thus, we have imperial confict.
nah, third time now
im busy with facebook but im waiting for some comments ![]()
so, 15 views and no one wants to talk about it right?
this game will die, because of community problems, the game itself is great but the players make it what it is.
hmmm. my facts are wrong then lol, honestly, i dont know why we attacked you guys, you were so far away, i think it was just because colorado and the other attackers were down in that area you just became part of our expansion empire lol. anyways, fun was it not?
hehe, yea, camaar usually doesnt ressy lol, they are HC attacking and speed. We were confused when our camaar had started building farms haha *eyes kreton
we were not twice your size, you guys had a total NW of 16 million, we had a total of 20 million. we also didnt save much at all. like i said, i wasnt part of that war as i was busy looking for holes in 00s cores. I was too far away and too big to even do any type of damage to you guys. Proud? not at all. Fun, yes it was ![]()
Flash brought this to my attention, so blame him if you dont like that topic...
====================================================D~~~~~~~~
Now, this has always been a pin in my side. A hot topic, everyone does it, but everyone frowns on it. The issue at hand, vulturing.
I want to know what the IC community thinks of this "Vulturing". Is it legal? is it legit? is it dishonorable? or is it just part of the game and needs to be used whenever possible?
So let me give you a scenario..
Fam x is in war with fam y. fam z has been planning an attack on fam x for some time, but they are in war with fam y. What do you do as the leader of fam z? fam x has beeen attacking and clearing you all round, but they are obviously having a hard time with fam y, so do you go in for the kill and eat their eyes out? or do you wait for them to finish their war so they can come back and bully you agian?
I mean, its a war game right? war is ugly. In a war, when you have the upper hand, thats when you strike, you know there will be casualties, but your job is to minimize that as much as possible for you to gain the win.
so agian, what do you do?
i think this is one of the main problems with this game, it has become so peaceful, so many rules, so many regulations that the game developer could have never imagined would take place but this game is hardly run by the moderators as much as it is run by the community.
so as the community, lets make decision about this. Is vulturing, a viable option in this game and should be used more aggresively? should this be frowned upon and the players who do this are just as bad as the NAP breaking scum? or do we agree this is a viable strategy in your epic march to conquering the galaxy?
**********Please dont move this thread, as it is universal news and everyone needs to hear about it if this game is to progress into a war game, or a game with too many community rules and regulations that make players quit**************

but colo being your leader, told me you was in a war and made it sound like it was taking up your attackers morale.
& there were no destroy cash on me (i was ninja) there were some iron hits from amsterdam but that was it. i had more than enough agent defence.
Thanks btw
feels good to be appreciated.
now the colo thing, hes a leader, he just doing what he needs to do to survive, its a war game after all, i would probably have attacked if i were you though, seeing as how bad 4911 was doing agianst us, i wouldnt have considered that vulturing, i would consider that the element of surprise. OFC though, if you did happen to rape us, i could have told colorado "I TOLD YOU SO!" haha. for a while now i have been trying to get him to war you guys.
hmmm, it was indeed destroy iron haha. my fault flash, thought they were destroy cash, DAMN OPPPERS! cant do their job right! attack the cash not the iron! lol
im sorry RSSU, just from my point of view you were really noobler lol. Im not in your fam so i do no know the circumstances, from my view you were camaar, with 1.2 mil nw, with few planets, spread across your core (like a normal attacker) who had no more then 2 planets per core. I swear ricking was your rezzy guy so i focused much on you because you were only threat. agian, i apologize, not trying to make you look like a fool but it sure was quite coincidental that you happen to jump fleet as soon as i started attacking, only to be run lol, then you jumped agian, to be run. I did manage to beat your 1 mil droids though, it was tough! as i had no funding.
It was good while it lasted, all fun and games nothing personal. I just thought when i had seen you jumped (we infiltrated you) that you were going on the offensive (105k figs, 1 mil driods). i thought that was a portal breaking fleet so i decided to leave my figs out because i had alot more then you so i did indeed take a huge chance on luck that you didnt search a couple systems to i had purposely left you in but didnt attack you so that i could keep running fleet. Now if you did jump straight figs you would have annihilated me.
and that is the beauty of this game at its finest.
because in my whole ic career i have strived to be honorable, to play fair, to do right. I have never farmed a bottem fam, i have lost countless rounds because i refuse to do so, i have never broken a single NAP. I have given fair deals, never have i [built a human-sized mousetrap and used it to capture] anyone in this game to be called DISHONORABLE.
You sir, could never do the same. So no, i am not shady, i was having fun.
And thats why i will be leaving this game. Because never in my IC career of 8 years have i seen so much NAP breaking, so much whining, so much everything. Even when a player tries to do right (myself) we are still looked down upon.
I ask you though, so great respectable players... whats left in this game?
There is no honor left, no one plays by the rules, hell even when 4912 was farming the shit out of 4908 for NAP breaking you still accuse their fam of wrong doing? if thats wrong doing what the [I've run out of funny edits, so I'll just proclaim my love of all things marshmallow] is right???
when you say shady, what context are you using it in?
i was never busy with 11, colorado was...and a couple other attackers. I was busy setting up on 00..

thats how busy our "war" with 11 was. lol
were you ninja??? because we did destroy alot of ninjas cash
maybe i might have been exagerating with 300 mil because you only had about 650 mil, but we got a few destroy cash ops going.
colorado didnt see the spread, i seen it
i mentioned it to him before your guy even had any portals up. notice that as soon as your guys portals were up mines were already up or was soon to be up,
although no one wanted to help me on my crusade for 4900 i had to ask exodus to fund me and i sold alot of res for upkeep, i initially only jumped with 50 mil the first time, and then another 60 mil a day later after my fleet had worn down.
and a war with 4911? lol. it was a war for like 2 days and then they pretty much gave up, then white L from 4911 jumps to 3.5 mil nw and plays ping pong with colorado for the last few days, of EOR.. hardly a war. (I think you just got politically [bamboozled])
No hard feelings flash, I KNOW for a fact you could have done us some damage i was surprised you didnt, but we minimized it by clearing early, so the most he would have taken maybe 3-5 systems, maybe...im sure he whined about all the blocks he got from our 3 partaxians and myself ![]()
Name:borg 3 of 8
Fam:4909
1. Best Leader
NW 4912
got the best of the political spectrum.
2. Best Diplomat
NW
3. Most honorable family
4909
we farmed no small family intentionally, everytime i wanted to everyone wanted to farm the bigger fam, and thats what we did.
4. Most dishonorable family
4898 sol, you suck, if you gonna NAP break do it right, but serves your right.
5. Most tenacious family
4909 wars, skirmishes left and right
6. Your favorite war
skyline vs 4900
even though i didnt have hardly any help besides from exodus, who funded me (our smallest banker) and vegeto for taking the planets off of me so that they couldnt retake because he was so small. fun, pretty much me having my way, oh, and they kept jumping RSSU Centauri who kept leaving his figs out LOL, i think i killed maybe 300-400k of hisa within the last 24 hours.
7. Best spellcasting empire
4909
we had 3 partaxians, thats alot of spells, and have helped us greatly in our wars.
8. Best agent opper empire
None, i never got opped this whole entire round
9. Most overrated player
Nightwish
every leader does what he can to survive, a leader is a leader, and everyone is just on NWs e nuts.
10. Potential Star/Up and Coming Noob.
didnt really see any noobs, but RSSU Centauri gets the not an up and coming noob.
11. Favorite forum poster
Fallen Angel
id hate to get into a troll war with him, i think he actually sits down for a hour or so and thinks up his post before he has his tea and gets to writing his essays.
12. Best all around banker
not sure but i think i seen someone from fam 4903 who had 1200+ planets, that alot of [BLAM] planets...
13. Best all around resourcer
Probably me. Not sure what fallen was doing at BOR because he was masss building RCs while i was mass building MFs ![]()
14. Best all around attacker
Borg Colorado 4909
you dont want to get into a war with this prick. He made Tja quit IC....
15. Rounds Joker (why?)
Sol invictus 4898 NAP breaker, for claiming he broke NAP because he had "His reasons" which the galaxy has still yet to hear.
16. Biggest mistake of the round
Not raping 4900 as a family to gain first in planets, but colorado didnt want to farm them, because he likes playing ping pong with white L
17. Favorite Family theme
Cant remember fam number, but the guys with the HellItsonlyME theme.
18. Rate the round (1-10)
7/10
we had to forfeit a war cant remember with who but it was just good timing on their end. I wanted to rape every family in sight but i wasnt leader so i didnt get to make the decisions. I also wanted to gangbang 4898 for NAP breaking because its the first time a NAP break has actually happened to me. but colorado just wanted to move on. I still think we should have killed them all off though.
It was a fun round overall, i got to do what i wanted to do which was resourcing and attacking.
BIGGEST NOOB?
RSSU Centauri 4900
I just cant beleive this guy hahaha, might have been the noobiest player this round, i cant beleive for 3 days, he jumped fleet, only to get it ran, then jumps agian, and gets run agian, and jumps agian to like 1 mil droid, and doesnt even attack me even when i had instant shares with him that i left on purpose so that i can keep running him. lol it was halirious, whats even more funny is 4900 keeps funding an attacker who probably claims hes gonna do something, but after jumping does absolutely NOTHING.
word of advice if you read this RSSU Centauri of 4900
Hide your figs when you log off or your not attacking, and if you want defense, build soldiers, not 1 million driods lol.
hmm flash, no idea what was going on behind the scenes. but from my POV, you had your little doublepenis guy infiltrate our cores who had something like 55 planets 100k nw. we had to get borg 8 to drop pretty much all his nw(from 1.5 mil to 200k) just so he could start clearing him, which in 2 days we dropped him from 58 to 30 planets, so he pretty much had no shares left with us. we had pretty much blocked all his portals he had shared with us by the time the blocks came down, he had already lost the planets he had in fully shared systems. why you didnt jump him? who knows. We had also targeted most of your bankers cash, and even manage to destroy something like 300 mil cash when your leader was holding your bank ![]()
but yes flash, it is fun terrorising people in this game, gonna be my last round in a long time, so i figured id have fun the last 72 hours.
great round, 7/10 we had like 6 wars this round.
EDIT: im pretty sure we could have destroyed your fam had colorado not wanted to play ping pong with 11. they were shhowing who had the biggest e peen with white L, i think colorado won haha
And Its Over
just screwin over 00 before round ends, i have been terrorising this poor family the last couple days its halirious!
Anyone know hpe many ticks till round ends?
Am traveling in,an elevator
yea that one hah, it worked perfectly for alliance aiding did it not?
yea, my legs do too, but the sending aid and attacking make it worth it ![]()
