Topic: Piranhas!~! Tactics Release #1

The following tactic has been released by the Piranhas movement:

To all who wish to bring honor and justice back to the universe; to all who are sick and tired of the fatso-itty-bitty-fish-farmers.

Here's a tactic on how smaller fams can pwn bigger ones:

Requirements:  at least 2 HC attackers.

First, send your smallest NW player, preferably an attacker, to hover small fleets 2 transports and at least 3 soldiers over every planet in a bigger fam's system.

Second, jump another attacker and have him break portal one of those planets - whichever planet in the system you can - banker planet, reser planet - doesn't matter.

Third, have your smallest NW attacker takeover the planet from your jumped attacker.

Fourth, have your smallest NW player get portal and lasers building (the fatso fam won't be able to attack your smallest NW attacker if their smallest NW players' NW is so much higher).

Fifth, repeat steps one through four in more of your enemy's systems.

When your jumped attacker blows his fleet, which will eventually happen, jump your smallest NW attacker now, and have him take the systems from your fatso enemy.

Your attackers thus switch roles, the attacker who blows his fleet becomes the low-net worth attacker, and your previous low networth attacker who has infiltrated and portalled your enemy's systems becomes your main attacker.

(Don't forget to switch fleet admirable tags)

Have fun and fight the good fight!



Piranhas~~!~!

Re: Piranhas!~! Tactics Release #1

Didn't invent coring, but maybe invented the idea that such strats should probably be shared with people so they can better fight bigger fams.

Re: Piranhas!~! Tactics Release #1

when i find myself in a smaller family getting or on its way to getting farmed i draw thewar out as long as possible, taking time to jump 1 player heavy on ops and going through each of thier members forcing them to stock up on large fleets, i then  do raids and coring like you explained, i know its a poor move to continue a war knowing that there is little chance to come out on top but the longer the big family is at war, the more infra growth they will miss out on. my goal at this point is to make sure the other family cannot win

/me thinks Chaosdarkmech is a Piranha  wink

Chaosdarkmech, would you care to comment on the movement...

I've been trying to get in contact with the Piranhas for many rounds.  I know they are in PW, MW and some mods are in it, but no one but me seems to be talking about it, I guess because they think they'll get banned or something...

Me, I'm just wanting to write about them.  I'm just a fan.  I'd like to report on the development of the movement...

Hmm.. this seems like a Piranha tactic indeed.

Should I start another thread for Piranha tactic # 2 or should we just keep all the Piranha tactics in one thread?

Re: Piranhas!~! Tactics Release #1

So twosidedeath,

When you are being farmed by fatso itty-bitty-fish-farmers and drag out a war like you do, do you tend to notice that eventually another fam or two (with whom you have had no official in-game or for that matter even unofficial out-of-game communication) end up declaring war on the fatso itty-bitty-fish-farming fam?  I mean, isn't it true that the longer you drag things out in a war with a big fam, the more likely it is that (if only by sheer odds of probability) another farm (if only completely coincidentally) also declares war and attacks them?

In other words, isn't it in the best interest of the small fam to drag out a war with a bigger fam, because, actually, the smaller fam stands a better chance of loosing fewer (or perhaps even gaining) planets than it would if it otherwise naped them?  I mean, the longer your war goes on, the greater the odds are that word will somehow spread that you are at war with that fatso fam, and that other small, perhaps even ~!~!~! Piranha~~!~! fams will take the opportunity to also war the fatso itty-bitty-fish-farming fam, which, of course, the ~!~!~!Piranha naturally despises and fearlessly views as merely a nice source of food?

Forgive me if I am reading too much into it.  I am merely trying to ascertain the premise of this piranha tactic of yours...

(I in no way intend to suggest that you or I nor anyone else for that matter who might contribute to this thread is, in fact, a Piranha member)   wink

Re: Piranhas!~! Tactics Release #1

it doesnt work annymore, since shortly theirs extra morale penalty. at bor with the prebuilding i took 8 planets from our prebuilder i was - morale. (not made inactive) so if u do the same inside a core u also wil notice the morale problems. might be able to take a fwew. but not nearly enuf for you to be able to clear the bigger fam out in such way u wont be cleared shortly after.

Colorado: even in the 11/01 war i made more hits.
Colorado: 447 blow jobs.
Big Gary:  Only a fool cannot admit when he's wrong...
AW:    i love rim jobs
RisingDown: I know you do

I'm not joking.

This is serious.  I believe this game could be awesome.  It's the best game concept I've ever come across (and I have played a lot of games).

IC could be so much better with investment, some concept development, and a story - a theme.

Nonno - the Piranhas are keeping a low-profile for now, just getting set up in different galaxies, laying low: they are in wintering lady-bug mode.

See lady-big thread.
