Re: SD: SS Round EOR Nominations
Few things:
A) Being Mark's attacker?? No, not true. What is true is I did have a massive fleet. This 'chaos' (disappointing) round was me practicing attacking and figuring it out and stuff. How else could I pull off top 10 size but only top 25 nw?? Think about it, I was hitting KPAX instead of mark because KPAX broke mark's portals in the systems... not mine.
B) MARK aided Gondor and I a bunch, he helped secure our core, he attacked around us, he gave us advice how to do better, he made a big difference in our play with sacrifice to his. My throwing a few planets to him was because I made a mistake! MARK owned just over half a system, and i full explod it. Let's just say that MARK was mad because he was gonna put his DS there. Which I couldn't say before EoR in case we got someone to run into it like a noob.
C) Gondor went inactive, he basically gave up at EoR, he didn't want to play anymore. If a player decides to delete, what do you say "Send your aid and let us take your planets first so we don't have to re-explo". RIGHT!? You can't argue that. With the massive core that MARK and I (mostly MARK) secured in the early round, and how much Gondor was sewn into it, we couldn't afford him to go completely inactive so we couldn't see an attack, or so that if he did finally decide to delete there would be tons of holes for people to try and use. We pulled them in case he deleted, and as I said before. I told MARK I would NOT pass enough to be #1 size rank, he'd have to finish up by attacking. He just wanted the #2 which he deserved. True we made an error making them easily raidable but Gondor and I were making up for screwing MARK up the whole round. It was core security. It's done everywhere, even the reason you trade planets for NAPs when you're in each other's core.
D) Honestly, a lot of people did vote mark as either the best overall SS or the best SoR strat. He held #1 so long in the beginning and middle no one had a chance of catching him in score. 2 mistakes caused his NW and size to change. But then again, isn't score representative of full round performance Render? MARK did a really good job and deserved his #1 score.
E) Primo, "10. Favourite forum-poster: Trundar" I'm a little worried what you're saying there
.
F) This is the last I'll be saying about any of this. It's terribly sad how many times certain people have to hear this before they still don't understand. I'm done, as MARK said "man i was trying to avoid the silly boy forums but i couldnt help it" I feel the same way. I will also not give in to the hypocrisy and lies that have been circulating. IF we had been cheating, don't you think Primo would have done something about it?? Don't you?! They removed KPAX and his multi, blocked Alena, and stung Melvin for an IA. IF we had been cheating then they would have done something about it.
