Let's turn capri upside-down, small fams.  There're more of us than there are of them. 

Want to make a name for yourself?  I'll give you one.

Illegal alliance.

Morbo: Morbo can't understand his teleprompter. He forgot how you say that letter that looks like a man with a hat.
Linda: It's a 't'. It goes "tuh".
Morbo: Hello, little man. I will destroy you!!

Re: *** Pretenders vs Contenders capricorn round 5 ***

xeno that would be illegal alliance.. but im not sure what corrupt mods you are talking about?

I am in a bottom ranked family
arsy doesnt seem to have a empire in any galaxy atm
primo doesnt have one either except icpg
lex isnt in a top 10 ranked family..

I do think you are confused

~~Lemming of leather and lollipops~~

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

Re: *** Pretenders vs Contenders capricorn round 5 ***

Seriously, this is sad. Top fams get there by winning wars or being better overall or more active however you want to see it, I agree that a top 3 fam shouldn't be 'farming' a 20th or below ranked fam, but at the same time cores only work when they're 1 lump sum. We weren't moving our core toward you at first but according to the rest of my fam your attacks drew attention. You have to make use of your start position and that's all we did. TBH we put PPs fam into the 20th ranked, his fam didn't start there and we did wait but received more ops... as far as 95 have they messaged us about a deal? Josh is not as soft as WS was last round, but we're not going to do too much just to ruin a fam completely if they talk to us about it... Take some perogative?

And exploing into the core? most people can tell you that doesn't work well in a fam active enough to be a high rank.

Re: *** Pretenders vs Contenders capricorn round 5 ***

"Illegal alliance."

Bull@!$$.  It's not an illegal alliance.  Where is that written?

You poor saps.  Let me tell you something:  if it's not written somewhere, it's not illegal.

There are NO unwritten rules, except those told to you by top fams who usually win by breaking the unwritten rules.

FARMING is against the 'unwritten rules'.  This big fam breaks it.  Now prepared to get nuked by us small fams.  Lol.  You can't believe the response I've gotten in-game messages.

Seems everyone wants a piece of you, 97.  Made a lot of enemies over the rounds, I guess.
  Lol.  This is going to be too easy.

Re: *** Pretenders vs Contenders capricorn round 5 ***

it is written =p

Re: *** Pretenders vs Contenders capricorn round 5 ***

"your attacks drew attention."

Unbelievable...

Drew attenion my !@$.

Vim attacked one planet, repeatedly failing, and in response you nab 85 planets, ignore any discussion on NAP terms, and then call me an idiot.  Well, now you're going to get pwnd old-school-style...

Re: *** Pretenders vs Contenders capricorn round 5 ***

"repeatedly failing"


I think that's where the attention part came about =p

Sex without the e is still SX!

Re: *** Pretenders vs Contenders capricorn round 5 ***

xeno, I don't even play Capri, but your wild and thrilling story makes me tingle on the inside.

1) illegal alliance is a WRITTEN offense, look it up.
2) stop whining. It's pretty obvious nobody cares.

536

Re: *** Pretenders vs Contenders capricorn round 5 ***

Honestly, I think 97's intent was to hit us SOOOOOO hard to make my players go inactive.  LOL.  Noobs.

Re: *** Pretenders vs Contenders capricorn round 5 ***

Actually, I was just trying to teach the guy that if he doesn't build lasers or portals, he is going to get raped and to send a message to Kirklestat to stop being a fool.  It wasn't till you came here whining that I made sure to get portals started on those planets.

Re: *** Pretenders vs Contenders capricorn round 5 ***

we should have a top 10 vs rest war (just for fun) tongue

Noobie

Re: *** Pretenders vs Contenders capricorn round 5 ***

More bull!@$#

Now you're breaking our portals...

Re: *** Pretenders vs Contenders capricorn round 5 ***

Learn to read everything before responding.  The last sentence explains how the portal busting is coming about =p

Re: *** Pretenders vs Contenders capricorn round 5 ***

1       MODS THINK THEY ARE GODS (2188)       965      3008427      53472 I was gonna talk about how the top 2 fams have seperated from each other and how 97 has the better ally so they would win the big war if it comes down to that. I have to say with a player blocked and if he gets deleted they drop down to 3rd in planets that is a big deal. They have one of the best pure attackers in anubis and even if they lose the banker they still are in decent shape to finish the round well. I think there is a better chance this fam could crumble hard. Contenders for top5 . oh the player blocked is not big gary or anubis


2     Where to next? (2197)     970     2806681     51513 Mentioned in 88 p vs c Really seperated themselves the willians isn't that far behind ,but this gap can and will only get bigger. Hardcore4eva and Tia make a great team. Hardcore is one of the better leaders in the game like him or hate him. He will enter the ic hall of fame for sure with many of the other ic greats. Fam taken a lot of slack for munching on smaller fams ,but no big fam really is holding them back so they will do as they please. Not calling for an IA here I know many fams dislike thier actions. I am not a huge fan of it ,but they are working. This fam has dominated capricorn round 5 so far and is the best fam in the gal. Contenders for the win

3     ~VILLAINS~ (2191)     921     2672680     50216 Been near the top all round really has done a swell job this round Planet fat ,but that lack of infra won't matter if they do not fight the other top top elite fams. Spread is nice must have a nice nap with 97 if they are following them everywhere. I could be wrong ,but thats what it looks like. 91 has played a good round contenders for the top 3 or the win if 97 falters.

4     Arachnophobia!!! (2168)     774     2564972     44777 With theier ally in the top 3 they are one of the few fams that can be carried to a top 3 finish. Really if they just help thier allies win round 2nd could be thiers and prob will be. Colorado has done a great job with these noobs. honestly active fam top 5  for sure contenders for 2nd

5     Themes are for idiots (o)> (2193)     747     2518861     40887 I sorta liked this fam ,but as they were to lazy to ally me Fart Them. Yes i said Fart them lol. Will get eaten up by a bigger fish. Will not finish the round in the top 10. A joke of a top 5 fam hiding behind thier good position.  Pretenders for the top 10

6     The Imperial Spellbook (2194)     768     2479934     42179 Fam got off to a shaky start ,but now that attacking and moving up the ranks. Been around this rank for a few days now. Really could get fatter or work on econ more. Seems like they are saving for someone. Anyways contender for the top 3 because of thier allies


7     Mmmmmmm....Breakfast (2170)     811     2174022     43013 Not my favorite fam Frost is doing an ok job though. Got beat up by 96 ,but ended it soon enough not to take heavy loses and is currently ahead of em so i guess they did a good enough job with that. Frost is actually leading them to a top 5 finish if they can keep thier cores cleaned. and enemies away because a war could really pilliage this fam. Contenders for top 5 ,but could finish out of the top 10 easily.

11       Blazing Phoenix Nebula (2189)       645      1820237      35831 If i Could confirm they been fighting with some decent fams i would say that. They have been slowed for sure maybe the lack of exploration room has to do with it. honestly i don't know ,but they are not playing like a top 10 fam. Still contenders for the top 10 as they could get it going in the right direction.

12     Melvin Fan Club bow to him! (2165)     482     1761890     31832 Inactive nolio is leading this half paced fam Could this gay bunch of inactives finish in the top 10 i have to say it is possible if they avoid major conflict. Never rule out a nolio fam Contenders for top 10

13     Final Table with 13 randoms (2166)     541     1694667     34250 My fam actually I am quite proud of em. I really never knew what i had here. Now i know i have something special.Can't say we will win round ,but a top 5 is a possible maybe just a top 10 ,but whatever rank we finish I will be proud of them anyway.

14     Enter Our World (2186)     647     1632849     3817 A farm fam. Actually was doing quite well has fell off now and doesn't seem to be growing fast enough a little planet fat or just under fleet. I don't like them to finish in the top 10 unless other fams drop real bad or implode hint 88 anyways pretenders for top 10

Link for something that says small fams are disallowed from banding together to attack big farming fams?

Link, or nukes will start

Illegal Alliance: definitions and consequences by ~[PW9]KT~ 

"Coordinating with anyone who is not an ally, i.e. to perform ops or attacks to assist the unallied family, is not allowed. This includes sending a message to someone that is not in your family or alliance asking them to op or attack someone else."

This is done ALL THE TIME by big fams, usually by smurfing mods.  Seriously, this is what's wrong with IC.  Someone's got to do something about it.  Mods certainly won't.

So, it's got to be us common, lowly normal players.

Small fams can start saving IC from these corrupt mods: they design the rules, and then break them so they can win rounds. Sick.

I'm calling all leaders of small fams to target ONLY top 5 fams for the next while, and see if we can't turn the table on these farming !#@$tards.

They're killing IC.  It's time to save it.

Re: *** Pretenders vs Contenders capricorn round 5 ***

gd luck with that ;p

Colorado: even in the 11/01 war i made more hits.
Colorado: 447 blow jobs.
Big Gary:  Only a fool cannot admit when he's wrong...
AW:    i love rim jobs
RisingDown: I know you do

Re: *** Pretenders vs Contenders capricorn round 5 ***

So by actually knowing how to play the game and growing big, we are killing ic?  I kept Artic in my family, drafted an attacker that hasn't been on and active since day 3 of round, and we took in a newish player through the tutor/mentor program and we are still in top 3.   Just because you decided you would never learn how to play the game doesn't mean anyone else is cheating to be ahead of you.
