This is all so sad, peeps.
PW has ground itself down to the lowest common-dog demoninators : greed, ego....
and more greed.

I can remember when it [PW] was a pup smile

Re: ~ Pretenders Vs. Contenders Pinwheel Round 54: Part II~

yep, and before that, Andro... and even there it was confined to PP_ and Kagar and whomever they were fighting [sometimes, me].

I just don't remember so much chest-pounding  and 10 pages of name-calling over so little.
Granted, PP_  got a 5-day forum ban for calling me a lying f*ng witch once, but I had actually DONE something in a nap with Kagar to deserve it.

I just don't get it when ppl bicker on a ballistic scale over nap-breaking farming, which [if they had the ballz they claim to have] they wouldn't be doing in the first place.

I am sooooooo disappointed in PW.

yeah i agree target, pw needs to man up! take it and just do better next time.... use it to help you not make the mistakes next round... if you get done by a nap void, then write your naps better.

Render:

i didnt ban you personally, i guess the other mods thought that warning the whole thread 2x was fair enough warning for you?

about the length of the ban - we can only set bans to auto remove by date, not by time. (sucks) so it was likely some confusion with game time vs. mods timezone

i will look into changing the email address, the right one is: [email protected]

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Re: ~ Pretenders Vs. Contenders Pinwheel Round 54: Part II~

@Whoever responded over the last few pages... Been gone all day(Feb 8th) for my birthday festivities, and tbh, didn't think anyone would bother responding to my previous post! big_smile

Ummm....

@ Assassin, I've fought Outer's fams more than once you know... tongue

@ Cloud, yeah, I know, it was just a joke post, I didn't think any of you would actually take it seriously... maybe I should have put more " tongue " in.... tongue  FYI, I don't 100% recall... but I do know that we didn't expo the 3000+ planets we had... in any event, yes, you are right, your fam was amazingly warlike that round... **Pats you on the head** wink Really though, a fantastic job!

@MW, In regards to pop, or whatever... (I just skimmed), thinking back, it was really close to 300, I might be remembering something else in regards to the 330 number... for sure it was around 250-285...  Long story short, his NW during the last week of EOR, he disbanded all fleet...(his choice), hence the 12 mill NW... wink But I'll say it now, not exact numbers here and I was just trying to get some friendly chat going, not make Cloud go on another rant about his uber superiority as an attacker in R32 or something! tongue

Other than that, dunno, but was pretty close, also if I missed anyone, meh, it was just for fun, too busy in RL to bother full read throughs!  tongue

EDIT: OR TO REALLY GIVE A CRAP! but yes, Bravo to those of you going back several RL years with that apparently quite fresh in your mind still... tongue I just happened to sift through the old history page and saw that as an amusing round... >_>

Re: ~ Pretenders Vs. Contenders Pinwheel Round 54: Part II~

well i personally think that all you farming, whining, dirtdigging, namecalling, win-at-all-costs, sore-losing, sore-winning stupid people have signed the death warrant for pinwheel. your super duper 'skills' in the game of IC has no longer made it possible for PW to be the 'live' training ground for new players. your total lack of fair play and honesty is continually turning away some of the greatest players who have come back after varying lengths of absence. you have taken the fun out of a game that used to have a fantastic community.

well done!!  i applaud you all

I believe in angels and unicorns

Re: ~ Pretenders Vs. Contenders Pinwheel Round 54: Part II~

killing virgo has made pw lose its training gal rep - at least before new players had some idea about how to play - people join now and get owned right away - or join a big fam - not know what to do - go inactive and get killed off.


as for farming - say more of it - it just proves my initial views on both soldier strength and the 35% fam rule to be right.  (which was stronger sols will make big fams war each other less because there is no benifit in attacker Vs attacker big wars, big fam's bankers are nearly impossible to raid now - attacking in ic has been replaced with opping - the power is really with the econ/opping side of ic now.  and 35% rule gives people less guilt in hitting +36% fams or -35% fams that have hit/oped them)

Agree totally with TYMO on soldiers, couple rounds back i was attacking and couldn't break bankers that had the same nw as me. It forces you to have big fleets and less targets which is never fun attacking.

I don't see how they could have dropped the camaars speed, when they greatly increase such races as partaxian with OH ...

16 had no allies all round ... did pretty well IMO for no allies ... if they didnt war 25 I dont think 26 would have flew by them like they did ... as it sat 16 was leading in pcount by over 150 for quite some time

16 had an amazing nap with 25/26  - a nap if i saw i would have threatened deletion to stop before it was signed.  16 really got lucky by finding a day when 25/26 leaders were being very very stupid.

16 startegically planned the NAP, which is fine I think. I just thought 25 would have beaten 16 outright.

"16 had no allies all round ... did pretty well IMO for no allies ... if they didnt war 25 I dont think 26 would have flew by them like they did ... as it sat 16 was leading in pcount by over 150 for quite some time" that's cuz 25/26 was fighting 11/22 =_= 16 never had the best infra in the galaxy at any point during the round tongue
