@elbe: your an idiot.

@Rin: not enuff time to set that up. Also...why does the winning alliance have to fight each other? Thats lame. You win or lose as an alliance. 25/31 figured that out the hard way tongue

@Portgas: Just cuz you got blocked for doing stupid shit doesnt mean the mod team is at fault. Quit doing stupid shit and you wont get blocked.

@James: you liked it and you know it!! big_smile

what Gekko? abusing their powers? yea ok whatever. There hasnt been a corrupt mod in quite some time. Maybe some of you need to do some research first. You come in here shootin your mouth off about mod abuse, but i have yet to see any solid evidence, examples or facts supporting this claim.

The players claiming that the current mod team is abusing their powers need to pull their heads out of their asses and grow up.

Well this is lame.

40/41 were smart to lower their NW so 43 couldnt hit them. I dont think your pussys for doing that. I was hoping for some action out of this war. You guys could of went down fighting and gave us something to do. My only complaint about this manuever is that 40/41 deprived everyone of a good show and some good ol' fashioned fun. Ahh well tongue

@Imperial: i would not complain had the tables been turned. Its a smart game move on our part. Yes...as far as we are concerned Sector 3 IS our core. We would be retards if we let youre attackers portal anywhere near us. Especially considering we dont have a NAP.

i think some of you need to understand the true defintion of what a vulture actually is. Taking out nearby attacker portals isnt vulturing. Its called smart game play and staying on the defensive. If we were to send raids to all your gains, say what you gained off bankers and what not, then yea.....thats vulturing.


As cold as this may sound....what you guys have going on with 25/31 is really none of our concern. One of the aspects of this game is diplomacy. Someway somehow 40/41 screwed that up with 25/31. Im not saying their NAP break is justified, but they broke NAP for a reason. 99% of NAP breaks happen for some reason or another. Now, is that reason or excuse right or wrong? I dont know and frankly its irrelevant at this point.

Like i said before....its just a game. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I understand where 40/41 are coming from. I really do. But its hard to feel sympathy for them simply cuz ive been on the recieving end of this many MANY times. It happens.
You guys played an excellent round so far and should be proud of what you accomplished.

I have a few points....

1. I dont understand why we are supposed to feel sorry for 40/41 cuz 25/31 broke NAP. Does it suck? yea, wasnt neccesary. But its not really our problem.

2. You guys have had an excellent round. You have been at the top of the rankings. You have engaged in some hard fought wars. You guys have my respect and admiration for how you handled this round.

3. 40/41 is our last real opponent for the round. We dont wanna just sit here and infrawhore. Thats boring as all hell. This is a war game people!! its about the wars! That is where the fun is at.

4. I dont care how 40/41 trys to spin it, but Aleph ran down Colo's fleet and took out key portals. You just dont do that if your in a serious war with another alliance. How can you justify that? You cant. You mess with the bull, you get the horns.


I really think this is being blown out of proportion by 40/41. You guys are having one hell of a good round. You might not come out on top, but dammit i would be proud of what you accomplished so far. You guys have my respect, win or lose.

AA is a mixed bag. he has a lot of good points, but its either his emotion or just plain bad judgment that get the worst of him most of the times. but all in all I think he is quite passionate about the game and is a good guy.

Emotion and bad judgement? So because i vented my emotions once or twice i do it 'most of the time'? Im usually very chilled 95% of the time. I dont like this label you put on me. What kind of bad judgements have i made in the last few years? Id like you to explain that one to me. Besides drafting Undeath for the last ICPG tongue 

Yes im very passionate about this game. I care about the community and the people who play.

@Zarf: about the 'DarkAvangion' thing. I got tired of being labeled a dirty player and being called a villian. I was gonna try to be evil and dishonorable, but i just dont have it in me. Im too nice.

i think your overreacting and taking it a bit too seriously. Its just a game lol. So far you guys have had a memorable round. Like you claimed youve been fighting this entire time. Now your fighting some more. Win or lose you guys are good players. You guys deserve alot of credit for what youve done so far.

What is supposed to be fun in this game is THE WARS! you claim to wanna play for fun so umm....what more can you ask for out of a war game? You build stuff, you blow shit up and hope it works. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt. ive been on the shit end of the stick for sometime now. You cant win em all. The beauty is you can start over and try again. Cuz its a game lol tongue

WhiteShadow has the right attitude!! Its a war game people...the winners are always the villians!! When is the last time a winning alliance DIDNT have some sort of contreversy tied to it?

This was a smart game move. Was it honorable? who knows, doesnt matter. Its a war game. This game is not what it once was. Rounds are short, the game is more hardcore and familys are gonna go for the win.

Winning isnt neccesarily the only way to have fun. Ive been having fun this whole round. My family wasnt ranked high until recently. But ya know what? I built stuff, worked with a team got to blast bankers and blow shit up. Im having fun. You guys should be having fun too. FIGHT BACK FFS! give us a challenge. You have options. You could make things interesting.

For the record: i was all for a NAP with 40/41 and was content with doing an EOR war with them....however...if your in such a 'heated war' as you call it what business do you have messing with another family your not NAP'd to that could hurt you? your side is FAR FROM INNOCENT in this entire scenario.

@Gondor:
Your right. We have been fighting too long. I made a post about it in our forum asking the family if we can discuss a NAP.

Sorry about all the spells :\ i guess im a bit trigger happy with my wizards tongue

The fam bank system works great if youre using it correctly. You need to have some organization when it comes to building to make it work effectively. It allows every empire to get built on a regular basis IF the guy holding the bank knows whats going on and how to lead effectively. If your family is communicating on a regular basis and working as a team, the fam bank strategy is the best.

The fam bank system will fail miserably if you dont run it correctly. People logging off with the bank is a great example. Having selfish players that constantly drain the bank is also a major problem. You just need to make sure whoever is bank isnt doing that. If he is, then you dont allow him to be bank anymore.

So if your family bank strategy is failing, its not the strategy's fault. Its your family, your leader and how its being run that is the problem.

9-10 players per family with 3 drafts seems to be a popular choice. Im all for that.

No allys? that could be fun too.

aiding allies is an idea for a different thread. Although i like that idea too. Should put a limit on it though. Perhaps having it take longer to arrive. Maybe a number of ticks = the distance from one family to another at 0 speed.

lol Archangel Thats society and civilization. This is IC.

Also keep in mind that the NAP stated 'punishment up to and possibly including deletion'. They didnt administer punishment cuz the team that had been wronged was cheating. You dont stick to principle for the sake of principle alone in this situation.

its also against the rules for an empire to be deleted if that empire didnt break any rules of the game such as multi, account sitting and what have you. Deleting them would of been even more messed up.

We did learn and we have moved on. This thread should of been closed a long time ago.

I prefer smaller familys....

1. its easier to plan infra.
2. often having 3-5 bankers means 1 or 2 bankers are left smaller cuz the more active ones seem to get all the resources.
3. each player is 'allowed to shine' more. meaning your attackers feel more important.
4. more familys = more alliances to compete for the win. Diplomacy will be key.
5. veteran players are spread out amongst the galaxy, instead of stacked in a few familys.

as far as draft spots are concerned i think having 3 drafts in smaller family is decent. Allows you to play with 3 friends.

once a bigger family is defeated in a war, it seems the whole family falls apart and your left with an inactive farm for a month. That leaves us with more bored players that are more likely to leave the game.

lol Hookers.....tryin to be cool about this. I sent  your leader a msg asking if he wants to pay some planets for a NAP. That message never said 'ceasefire' or 'we will stop attacking while you think about it'.

We are gonna keep blasting you guys until you are ready to NAP. Ball is in your court.
