I remember fighting against genesis in a huge war. We lost the war but it was fun, there was no whining because that is how the game was played.

“For a long time it puzzled me how something so expensive, so leading edge, could be so useless, and then it occurred to me that a computer is a stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things. They are, in short, a perfect match.” 

lol this sounds like a bunch of old men sitting around in the nursing home reminiscing

Remember tax on aid.

Yeah, before Virgo. Right after Beta. All of it is wonderful memories. It is a shame that the ones that complain about the game the way it is today have to hang around to complain. Funny how even when you are not comfortable you cannot find your way out of your comfort zone. Addiction is a terrible thing, admitting you are addicted is even worse.

If the Tequila does not kick your ass, I will!!

I think a portion or all of the taxes went into the family defense fund. That idea didn't stick around long....

I remember when your NW the first tick was 100... making it really cheap to buy 1 or 2 defence stations

just out of bla.. Sogil was the person who went around and killed every wardancer in orion, even the poor one that was in his family

i remember joining MW and being in the 99th family... rank wise.

Lupo i dont remember u with winme and it brought back alot of memories when u posted those rankings, but here is some history on that round.

I was the leader of the fam, had formed the fam ( my very 1st fam i formed ) 1-2 rounds before that round. We won as an alliance 3 straight rounds if i recall and as a fam we were #1 in either nw or size all 3 rounds. The 1st round we were allied to Jango's fam who won by size. That u posted we were allied to Jangos fam and betros fam. betro's fam finished around 7th in nw and Jangos was the 2nd WOP behind ours.
MY fam was ran by me as the leader and main attacker, i was really active then. We had Multiple,Kagar( the round i gave him his name), Roth and some others most of u guys would not remember now, but they helped me and later kagar begin what became our dynasty.
There was this bitch that i cant remember her name, but we will call her bitch for now. Her fam was 15th most of the round avoiding us while we were #1 in size and nw totally dominating the attacking front and infra front. Kagar and myself were owning so hard on attacking and i also had our infra dominating so hard that multiple said we should name ourselves WOP for we own pinwheel, well i laughed and made it our name, so our allies followed as Jangos fam was still decent, but struggling a bit and betros fam just lost hastur to being drafted into mw, so it helped him get protected a bit.
In anycase, winme was a friend of mine and he had a fam that was like 20th and alot of new players he had no idea who they were at the time. I gave him a perm nap i believe and actually helped kill some fams that were screwing with him early on lol.
As time went on our 4th banker was bigger then our biggest competitors banker which was 438 ( we had already killed all the fams in BNE except for winme of course as i had our allies perm nap him also. ( his allies loved it when he sat and watched them being killed:)).
The leader of 438 was the bitch and she thought she was the best attacker in the game lol, dident matter that i won and aided our bankers 3x more in 1 month then she did the entire round, she also wanted to be the best fam, problem was we had 1k+ more then them and double the nw, her allies were both as strong as my 2nd ally, but my 3rd ally was really weak.
She had her alliance break nap on us with the excuse that she had conversation prove that we were gonna break nap on them lol, they waited for me to be at work as i was the main attacker and kagar was the 2nd main attacker, but was still using his old cf/attacker race. Bad thing was i was gone for 2 days and the fam had lost 700 planets to the initial attack from 3 fams as they all concentrated on us. They tried to perm nap our 2 allies saying they were only attacking us as they had prove we were gonna break nap lol( we were only 10x better then these scums).
Our allies were not morons and helped out, they managed stop the slaughter as 2 bankers refused to give aid to kagar or others till i got home:( kagar did get some, but not enough and besides with his 0 speed he was cleared so far intially that he had go travel alot.
I did get home and spent the next 12-18 days not only taken back 700 planets, but taken another 700 planets. At the time it was the most fun i had up to that time, it was evan funny when i had to travel 12 ticks just to save multiple from losing entire systems as he dident listen to me and had 12+ planets per system  and they all lowered there nw to avoid me and go after the little guys in our fam.
We nuked them and beat them so bad they had 2 people quit and had the nerve to call me a loser when they were the ones that broke the nap. I think my banker had lost 65% of his nw and planets, i lost 48% of my planets in the initital attack and was maybe 1-2 from going into p mode when i got home lol.
Winme decided to save up and win nw ( he had no chance to win size as we had it) and went around perm napping the rest of the gal and had all his bankers super huge lol Just sat there all round banking and saving, haha.
After we renapped the scum bag fam i made a clause that they were not allowed to share with us and if they did they would get removed instantly. If u want to know why it took so long, well aside from a few shares left i was basically clared 4-6 ticks with 100% speed from anyone and it took ages for me to retake key ones and take new key ones from them, then trying to get kagar and others in fam shareing with me closer and after 2-3 weeks we were totally shot.
Also they came back at the end with alot of easy planets because they went around raping fams in the 30's+ there allies gave them alot of planets trying to take us over in size lol, always loved people that were sore losers.

We broke up the following round, i was inactive and fam fell apart, but i reformed us in mw after 1.5 rounds apart and we stayed together till i took another break after we won mw about 1-1.5 yrs later again, then we reformed again in tri and were together for what seemed like forever and counting the win in mw then winning tri and then mw again we won something like 7 straight rounds in differant gals without losing 1 battle. 1st half of the dynasty was almost all me then it was kagar and I then almost all kagar.

I wrote a long post for old memories as the one guy said he missed it:)

Had alot of fun in ic, but it takes too much time to play the right way + too many sour grapes in this game that look for any way to win no matter what cost. I dont know how many anymore, but i think Ive won something like 17x counting alliance wins, maybe 2-3x nw wins as a fam and maybe 12x winning  by size and thats with not forming a fam the past 1.5 yrs except for 1 round joining orbit 1 last time and without a doubt i think we could of won another 12x+ and were #1 those rounds and maybe 75% of the time had the dominating fam by far, but backstabbing,illegal bs stuff done to us costed us the round. I had them done the rounds we won also, but pulled through.

Hope u guys have fun reading this for historys sake of my famous long posts of old:) and take care
