Topic: SD alliances

ok i'm not going to call nales and family numbers and shit, but it is insane how many alliances certain families have...
this really is weak lots of families also hide behind their allies.problem with this is that everyone allied everyone . never thought i would say this but: SD is [] up seriously, thnx mods.
certain families have like 6 alliances.i know atleast 3 families which has +5 allies lol.
i'm really surprised there is such small ammount of wine thread about ally break and stuff liek that lol. hope next round SD will be 100% hardcore again cause now its just a galaxy for [coffe cup] which ally because they are affraid to fight on their own.

Re: SD alliances

This SD round was a complete joke.  The mods need to look long and hard to find out why on earth they could ever have thought it would work.

dress up. leave a false name. be legendary.

Re: SD alliances

2 crybabys that deleted out of their fam or are doing horribly.  Great stuff.

I'm in 538 and our alliance has 6 families,, but in no way, shape, or form are we allied to all of top10.  We're actually constantly fighitng people in the top10 who threaten us.  570, 533, 540 (not top10 but are doing well), and others can attest to this. 

So please, talk out of your backside some more as it is a good internet laugh when I read this crap smile

Re: SD alliances

we 570 only got 2 allies

Re: SD alliances

so with other words 1/2 of your alliances are top 10 :-). prob the 6 fams which are left you nappe :-).
it has nothing to do with crying but this isn't the way SD is supposed to be.this isn't hardcore this is a messe dup galaxy were everyone is napped or allied.

Re: SD alliances

what s your proof they are allied?

if you dont communicate well, your own allie could turn on you, without you noticing it.. or mebbe they just forget or smt

till the end of time..

Re: SD alliances

I've found this round fun so far.. big alliance so lotsa ppl to talk to in chat, odd relations which spices stuff up a bit instead of the boring same ole tri alliance with strict rules and all

Re: SD alliances

Well you could always make NAPs illegal and keep the many allies:)
Doubt everyone wanna ally all other fams so that would mean a bit more fighting:P
Dunno how to manage that though:P

25 Inventors: Back from Hell (8528) (x:93,y:21) 391 845454 - Dont see them coming back up. Theyre out of the game. Pretender, will finish out of top 30.

Re: SD alliances

actually if you must know we're allied to 2 top10 fams, and are napped to the UNC alliance and the penguins.   So again, stfu about things you dont know about.

Re: SD alliances

I allied 533 at the start of the round, then after the first week 570 declared war on me and 533 instantly dropped the alliance turning it into a pnap, allying 570. And here me and several of my fam knew 570 would try this, we were planning on hitting 570 before they hit us, but I mentioned it to my ally 533 if they'd help, and they told me to hold off and wait for them to get closer and more portals nearby. I kinda wonder if they were manipulating me and my fam setting us up for 570...

Since then I've only allied one fam a week or so ago, and they're mostly for spread.

SD is full of noobs, people see a low networth but high planet count and think they'd make a good target. Well there's a reason for the high planet count and it's usually not because they're a good target. Fams that make good targets are those with high networths and planet sizes that don't change or go down, they're just bankers with no active attackers.

Re: SD alliances

oxygen you're such a liar, you napped and allied way much more families.  you don't need to shame for it.everyone knows thats the reason you guys are ranked first lol. any family could rape you guys cause you guys are a small family with huge planet count. this will lead that any family with small sized attackers can kill you.cause morale is wha would kill you guys lol. anyway it has nothing to do with 538 only.its just that lots of families hid ebehind their allies.SD should be a galaxy without alliances and naps, just hardcore fighting untill the strongest survive, thats what SD is all about

Re: SD alliances

You get lots of alliances based on parts of the map, so weak, mid and top fams all chained together - so when wars start, its not a case of a "top tri" farming a few lower fams or mid tris, but instead, half a dozen fams from all over the rankings waring another half a dozen from all over the rankings.
I wouldn't say its more fun, but its certainly more chaotic big_smile

Re: SD alliances

Our alliance had many top fams, but with many deletions and fams not growing very fast, our alliance isnt as strong as it once was.  We have 5 naps, 3 of which are with the UNC alliance so idk where you're getting your info from but you need to stop talking about things you dont know about.  Seriously.

The reason why we're big is because 539 stunted penguins growth and Ori and our attackers really cleared core.  Once we got our alliance we spread out and then jumped attackers to gain planets quickly, and then started jumps.  So please, continue to live in your bubble smile

Re: SD alliances

Yeah im leader of fam 538 and we are not a small fam we are the biggest and one of the strongest. We have high planet count cause we have done very well in are WARs etc and know how to pick targets and prepare for WARs. We have not once used are allies to help us we have gone through round using just are attackers as defence. We have not realy helped are allies this round either but we have good comunication with them thats why we have not been droped.

I dont know where you got your information from but if we never had are alliance we would still be top as long as are allies never ganged up on us. It may have been a harder round for us but thats about it.

The only way it could of realy gone wrong is at the start of the round say if 529 or 539 had hit us early and we may of had some deletes.

And as oxygen said we only have 2 fams in are alliance which is top 10 the others are lower in ranks.

Re: SD alliances

maybe 546 just made poor choice in allies, although 552 is actively attacking and growing in planets.  also, 546 would have been smart to NAP or my family in the beginning of the round when I asked about it instead of misleading me.  Now you're stuck. 

Also, any alliance in any galaxy can cancel, its not a binding contract for the remainder of the round.  So SD is no different. 

And I agree that SD gives players a chance who don't have the fortune of landing in an active family to still have fun and do well.  Several good players get screwed every round because they random in to a bad family or family that is only half full.  So this gives them a chance at doing well.

And to those who say make SD what its supposed to be, hardcore.  Well you're wrong.  SD was originally a normal galaxy like the others.  So really, SD is supposed to be a normal galaxy.  Its not that SD is messed, its that you aren't cut out for this kind of galaxy while others aren't cut out for hardcore galaxies. 

Going in to the round we all knew, it was unlimited unofficial alliances.  What did you expect?  Everyone would just form tris?  Get real.  One strat is to fight your way to the top, another is to NAP everyone and grow grow grow you're way to the top.

Re: SD alliances

And as an example, for those that play in draco.  This round was completely pointless and no fun at all.  What fun is it to enter a galaxy and never reach 5k networth because you get killed by someone over 1.5mil networth?  Wheres the fun in that?  Theres no chance of doing anything.  Hardcore galaxy rounds should either have very very short round lengths or introduce at least a much lower attack range, for instance 10% of your networth.  I mean I was being killed off when I was less than one half of a percentage of their networth.  Wheres the fun?  Wheres the glory?

Re: SD alliances

i do admit that i put myself in good terms with strong fams because i was reluctant to fight them, but thats only because i knew they were going to be difficult to fight tongue but that doesn't stop me from picking war targets after war targets big_smile i'm too chicken to pick a fight that i may lose, but im not so lazy as to turtle/nap my way to victory as i've been warring fam after fam smile

Re: SD alliances

@ Heavenites

if 538 are so weak and easy targets, you go and beat em man and stop whining about it, sheesh, i mean, stop complaining to people who really dont care and do something about it. Some of us SD players actually love the way this round is structured/going, Personally i couldnt be more happy with my family, sure we have a few naps/alliances than in a usual galaxy, who cares? its your own fault for not picking out families who had potential at the start of the round and allying them. Your just annoyed because you probably got some piddley little fam to ally with and now its to far into the round to ally anyone bigger/stronger. Not only the strong survive in this game, but also the cunning/intelligent players.

Fat chicks need loving too....    just gonna cost em tongue

Re: SD alliances

How about next round they have no allies, every fam by themselves. Instead of this hippie treehugger ally/nap everyone that could hurt us crap.

Re: SD alliances
