Re: ***pretenders Vs Contenders Capri Round 4***

PP, I do tend to agree with you that there is a bit too much chest beating in this thread from my fam.  I'd like to raise the issue of us taking too many planets off other fams though.  While i've steered clear of most negotiations and that kind of thing we have been very forthcoming with giving out NAPs this round rather than killing other fams.  WS is far too nice to other fams with this, its all bravado in the forums.

- Early on we NAPed a small fam, who would have been easy to get some quick planets from (I forget the number).
- 55 we PNAP'd basically cause you said you didn't want a war.  There were a few ops from you at the time, but all could have been easily recovered from.
- 42 we PNAP'd cause we didn't want a war.
- 28/45 we NAP'd cause they were rubbish and going to die heavily.
- 62 we have been offering peace to, we'd have stopped attacking if they'd have stopped opping.
- The list does go on...

The stupid thing about this round is that we're going to basically easily win it, and i'll hasten to add i'm not saying that in a bragging way.  But whilst winning, at present we have maybe 5 active players.  Throughout the round we've never had more than 2 active bankers, and i'm including myself in that even though I barely login compared to the way I used to.  Surely some of the other fams must have been able to match that.

I think a lot of our success has been down to positioning, but also the number of idiotic decisions made by other families.  So many times i've seen people running into laser traps and hitting far too many fighters losing their ground.  Fighting 28 and we were still doing infra jumps while they weren't able to match fleet, I really don't understand how its possible for their incomes to be so rubbish.

Oh and as someone just said to me, why does no one have soldiers!  If your an attacker and losing loads of planets, no soldiers is probably why.

@pyf
WS is far too nice to other fams with this, its all bravado in the forums.


pyf gets it. In the forums I try and provoke things for entertainment only BUT in the real game i get hammered by my fam for being too easy and too nice to the other fams and if they wanted to they could all come in here and say so.

If i wanted to simply rape and pillage fams we wud no doubt be at 6k planets and working to 7k but i dont play like that.

so quit being purposely ignorant when dealing with me in the forums. I am NOT beating my chest, Im causing all you guys to beat your chest and have a heart attack and all the while I lmfao at you.

But in the real game im a push over except for my attacking skill which isnt bragging its fact. But i dont use it to just rape small or large fams, cause imo my fam could have beat 42 with or without orbit just like gondor said and i could have hell who knows 8k planets then BUT i told fam whats the use in fighting when they are crippled w/o as many skilled attackers with orbit leaving, thus no real challenge nor fun.

so say w/e u want but until u play with me you have NO IDEA what i am like.

I am the flail of God. Had you not created great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.

Re: ***pretenders Vs Contenders Capri Round 4***

/me tickles WS the big teddy bear.

I suggest everyone tries to attack him, but in about 2-3 ticks.

Re: ***pretenders Vs Contenders Capri Round 4***

Greedy in what way?  50 has given mercy to so many families rather than completely destroying their round.  A Bully yes, but Greedy definately not.   But being a Bully is also dependent on some kind of fear from the opposition, so it seems within right.

Re: ***pretenders Vs Contenders Capri Round 4***

does seem like 50 wants to make many enemies, provoking them to team op and give them a real challenge? tongue
I think anyone 'd want to get his fam as high up as possible, and attacking is quiet fun, and if you can get the planets, why not take them whatever harm has to be done?

I never had them for as long as I can remember!"

Re: ***pretenders Vs Contenders Capri Round 4***

So... why are families being punished for doing well? It's a game of competition, so how does getting to 5000 planets make them greedy? Everyone here would do the same if they had the chance to. They've attacked pretty much everyone, not just one or two fams that they've farmed all round. I don't really see how that equates to being a bully or greedy.

Nice post Pyf though smile

Re: ***pretenders Vs Contenders Capri Round 4***

The alliance of 31/50 has done nothing wrong. Its a war game. We won. We were more active and organized than the rest of the galaxy. Ive witnessed alot of sloppy play and a lack of any effort on the parts of our enemys. Most of our enemys either rolled over and NAP'd for a large amount of planets for what amounted to a minor skirmish. When our enemys had the chance to mount some kind of counter attack or an operation offensive....nothing happened. We built agents and ground in anticipation of some kind of retaliation...and nothing. Its a sad statement about the competition this round. My family should of been dead the first 3 weeks of the round. If the other familys were smart, they would of killed us off and forced 50 to ally them instead.
In reality, the fear of losing is what lost the round for most of you.

We have been more than honourable this round. In fact, we have been TOO nice in my opinion. Ask any leader who negotiated a NAP with me. There has been a few occasions when planets were still owed to us and i let it slide.


The real problem with the current state of this game is:

Giving planets for a NAP!! This practice should be abolished in my opinion. Most of you dont realize this, but you were EXTORTED out of your planets without any fight! What is that about?! Back in my days this was unheard of!! You basicly GAVE us the win out of FEAR of losing planets. What happened to fighting for your planets? You took the "conflict" out of this game by giving in to extortion. The entire round i was waiting for a family to stand up to us and say "HELL NO! Lets war and do this!". Sadly it never happened.

SO please....if you wanna place blame on someone for a bad round, look in the mirror. Our alliance had a good round. But it was boring. WAY boring!! Im hoping that next round most of the galaxy grows a spine and decides to fight a good fight.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!!

Re: ***pretenders Vs Contenders Capri Round 4***

In the round i mentioned (round 9) there were 20 people teams and 1/4th as many planets to be explored. A family that had half as many planets as your family this round would have done twice as well as yours based on those numbers

lol, I like the way i phrased that tongue

Re: ***pretenders Vs Contenders Capri Round 4***

I'm sorry but for all the whiners.. We got alot of our planets from Naps. People were coming to us and offering planets for a NAP before we even thought about touching them. I have not seen alot of fighting coming from my family this round and yes WS is a softy  he truly is wink Infact he is one of the nicest people I have played with. His leader skills took us to the top and has kept us there. He is nothing like what you see in the forums.

I love our ally 31. They have been awesome and have worked extremely hard to get to the top.

~~Lemming of leather and lollipops~~

Right, so what are we waiting for?  Can we get this going?  Any other feedback?
