Re: ~ Pretenders Vs. Contenders Pinwheel Round 47 ~
I mean, as impressive as you guys have been (03), what's with this hype?
18 is a very dominant family, as shown this round (and last) that they have yet to lose a war, and has fought from beginning till end. Load is THE best attacker in Pinwheel, I don't think that's even questionable. 18 already fought 03 once and won convincingly, in all honesty we (01) didn't do much in that. Now 03 infrawhored all the way to top while 18 fought the rest of the top 10 in legitimate, full-scale wars (which their economy suffered tremendously in the process, or simply with no time to rebuild). Being where they are right now is nothing short of impressive in my opinion. is 03 really going to act like they're so skilled and brag in uni? seriously?
With that said, I'm not taking anything away from 03 about the success they have achieved this round. Intelligent diplomacy helped them significantly this round as well as a clean core and a helpful ally. I think in the end, many of us had fun this round, regardless of where you are and how you played the round, and that's what it matters. To me personally, and many that are like me who played countless rounds in Pinwheel, rankings are no longer important to us, it's the friendships, the rivalries and just the overall appreciation for the game that fueled us to continue playing.
Re Flashy: that's not what I was talking about. We neglected the opportunity to completely demolish a family in order to pursue something that is much more exciting (and more challenging) for us - fighting the top family (both economically and militarily) in a distance war (3-4 ticks?) where their attackers are cammars and our lead attackers have half the speed. I think 2v1 at the time was somewhat fair considering the circumstances, though I normally do not condone such actions either. I think in the end, despite the fact that my fam (01) did not gain many planets from this war, it was an enjoyable experience for 11 and our alliance that the war happened.
Re Hummy: We fought every family that is within range that we are not NAPed with
by wars I mean full fledged war declarations.
If you want a fair fight, we can elevate 18 on the same economic scale as you guys via market aid from maybe 01 and whoever else it takes to even the level, and then we can have Load showcase his attacking skills for those who have yet to witness ![]()
