Thanks, you're a cutie too ;)

so many pages since ppl talking crap about fs breaking deals, but nobody care to show us this deal, its terms & what was broken etc.?
Merry Christmas everyone.
The dialogue was condescending and thus had no content.
The one thing we can meet on is how this age is ending. The game is better for it. I'd rather the 'powers that be' roll the tanks than kingdoms live in fear of the concept.
My point is that you're a bunch of hypocritical tools.
Last age, FS made threats that ED would be double teamed and then Pyro waved them but you all tried to claim that FS hadn't asked for help and Pyro was just randomly waving ED who "weren't in an active hostile", then logs came out proving that you were all lying and find it perfectly fine to double team people if one side is "being bullied".
Fast forward to this age and FS are "bullying" a KD who decide to retal and take them to war, yet rather than telling FS their actions are unacceptable (like ED was told) they're allowed to wave whoever they like. Then on top of that, the same people who last age organised hits on ED, decide that organising hits on a KD isn't allowed, except unlike last age there's zero proof that SS have asked anyone for help and indeed reps from KDs involved have all given their own reasons for wanting to smack FS, yet still your alliance (which isn't an alliance) decides that SS need to be raze killed to punish the KDs razing FS, because razing SS clearly has no strategic importance over raze killing provs making OOW hits.
Just to compund the stupidity of your post, let me give you a painting by numbers example:
1. Pyro wars another KD.
2. I decide to raze the other KD OOW.
3. Pyro have nothing to do with my actions.
You're telling me that you think Pyro should be GBed? Because clearly under your window licking logic we're allies and the right thing to do is target you rather than me. I mean if I'd known it was this easy to get FS and BB to GB Pyro I'd have helped you guys out a long time ago.
Stop acting so offended by FS waving your kingdom. You did NOT have a CF with them...a blank cf with no terms is no cf. They had no reason to call off their wave.
The only offensive thing done was SS colluding to have FS players raze killed. You can claim all day long that it is a completely unorganized happening but why would anyone believe you. For days you are talking about the little guys rising up together to teach FS a lesson, but then when you follow through and don't like the consequences then you change your tune.
If you believe SS went to FS allies and asked them to gb them then eating my poop is good luck and fortunately for you its on sale. What sense does it make to do that. FS made enemies simple as that.
Er no, i haven't been talking about little guys rising up. I said its wrong and shouldn't be tolerated. Hence why we warred them in the first place.
And I'm not offended, i am astonished at their hypocritical statements.
All you seem to do is twist things to your liking. Run home to mom before you hurt yourself.
My tune has not changed one bit. I truly wish I could take credit for a gb. But alas I can not. Every piece of evidence has already been proved otherwise false in me organizing a gb
You could also just answer his question :p
If you think the GB is justified, then a GB on ED last age would have been fine as well since they did the same thing.
It's a food chain and whoever isn't strong enough to defend their resource, simply risks losing it to a stronger kingdom. Last age ED was the "bully", this age that's FS. Next age it's ???
lol u all fight so much but don't realise that the ultimate winner will be wsk getting the crown. if im SS, i might consider WD, right after EOACF wsk move in to FS and wave for honour crown. assuming they don't have any form of EOACF with FS.
My opinion doesn't have anything to do with other peoples opinions, it's quite clear that both sides have different opinions so throwing mine into the ring isn't really adding anything.
For what it's worth, if you consider the situation as being only FS making hits on other KDs then no I don't think they should be GBed for it as I agree that utopia should be about 1v1 and larger KDs should be able to leverage their power to make gains otherwise if no-one can hit anyone then the game might as well be Hello Kitty Explorer Adventures.
That said, anyone who wants to paint this as just FS making some valid hits and getting unfairly GBed for it is assuming everyone else is very naive. ED might have made some enemies along the way, but the vast majority of our conflicts ended reasonably and our wars were mostly against larger KDs even when the other KD was in a better shape than us. Compare this to FS' recent record of wars; when ED had problems with them 2 ages ago there were many people who expressed being pissed off with the way they'd played vs. them, compare last age when FS were very happy to run to their alliance to get help and both help in GBing KDs and asking for hits against other KDs, have an actual read of peoples posts on these boards where they express their dislike for FS and the reasons they give.
Players hate FS, in their arrogance they like to portray everyone as jealous noobs, but the fact is that while there seem to be quite a few rational people within FS their leadership comes across as being a bunch of asshats. Seeing first hand how they deal with other KDs then I have no reason to not believe they've pissed off other people who are now willing to try and ruin their age. I also don't remember anyone complaining about ED last age, because we mostly hit for some honour then gave a CF straight away to avoid real wars, maybe we were just "classy" bullies.
As a side note, humans are top of the food chain because of our intelligence. Being stronger means jack **** in the real world, I don't see many people who'd take on a black bear in the wild armed with a stick, but band together a group of hunters and you can take one down much easier and it's not much consolation to the dead bear when it's friends are ripping the people apart after the fact.
You're excusing your aggression. That's a pretty empty system to support any CFs anyone would have with you.
Oh, you'll get your tops as usual, but your word is worthless to everyone else.
Because nothing happened till you pushed. You pushed because you have backup. You're a fine kingdom, and you might charm the pants off a number of kingdoms, but you're a pure bully in this. There's no way around it.
There's no evidence SS had been unruly in or out of war all age.
I'm chiming in late but I love the banner. Much fun :)
I guess this is directed at me. It is quite the confusing post with little coherence, but I gather from the post that you think I play in or represent FS as the bulk of your post seemed to be about their actions. I play in Ascension and have no history with FS that would cause me to be biased in this matter. I just don't like kingdoms organizing a gb without any solid justifications and that would have potentially put a crown in the hands of SS, the least deserving kingdom.
It's culture. The difference between man and animal is civilization. Do you know why I strike back every time a top kingdom randoms my province? Because, game wise, I believe in culture. I don't bend knee to animalistic behavior in Utopia. Civilization is based in mutual respect which leads to the greater good. That's filosofee ;-)
We both exercise our power. The top kingdom goal is simple and relatable. I understand you want my land, but it's mine.
We can live in peace and I never attack a top kingdom unprovoked. Conversely, ask my boss if I ever participated in waving an unworthy opponent unless personally and directly ordered. Even then I reserve the decision to the worthiness of the opponent. I play the game on difficulty.
I respect your goals and I've recommended kingdoms that desire LD to diplo with tops. I don't think less of kingdoms farming, but I don't. Mine is a challenge and it makes the game more interesting. I honestly lose my desire to hit down.
The question isn't about the power; that's obvious. What we have here is a popularity contest. SS has less friends than FS, but I like them just fine.
I like you guys in BB as well and we run into each other here and there. My retaliations are never about being cocky, but embracing the game and friends in competition. I'll never ask quarter. You have a full kingdom to do as you will and I will always choose to fight. I won't stay in a kingdom that won't retaliate the best in the game.
Someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
Now angry mob mentality's no longer the exception, it's the rule
And I'm starting to feel a lot like Charlton Heston
Stranded on a primate planet
Apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
With generals and the armies that obeyed them
Followers following fables
Philosophies that enable them to rule without regard
You assume as much as I. Pardon the mix up.
I went on with protector about mutual respect. SS was going to war another kingdom and FS stepped in, aggressively. I'd say the reaction isn't even half of what it should be.
You believe what you chose to believe but I'll go back to the metrics to simply point out that FS is a bully.
Your commentary about the unconditional CF is stark proof that diplo is worthless to the unpopular. It's above the game. You act as if there was complex ideology in the CF that it wouldn't have been broken. We should be able to trust each other without word smithing.
In your war I noticed the FS core relatively intact despite the brilliant play by play in the forum. They take wars they know they will win. I realize that hurts, but you need to see things for what they are.
You warred SS and won. This proves they took wars that were challenging. I know the system and it's just like boxing. You have to take a warm up to get those t/ms in place after a loss. You tell me if you think SS has top kingdoms whispering pump advice in their ear? Did they have pump time unmolested enforced by any but their own hand? If SS had gotten advice don't you think a little birdie might've gotten back to FS? and his name is...
Merry Christmas.
I would say that at present it looks like FS is winning this argument 9-4.
speaking of crowns i never received mine from last age ?
anybody know when they will be shipped ?
there is more crying here than when bishop had the boob taken away( last week)
i'm happy to die while fighting bully kingdom. Im proud to be in SS. World is round. Karma will be there for you.
yea no. They may be winning the war because an alliance comprised of some of the biggest kingdoms on the server are making sure of that. They are not winning the argument. If anything it just makes my argument about what's wrong with Utopia today more compelling. Bullying for personal gain without regards to fairness and the spirit of the game. Twisting facts and omitting/adding freely until the story matches the agenda. Offering unreasonable terms under threats just to give the illusion of willingness to negotiate. Stalling whenever possible to achieve set objectives.
Thoroughly planned and executed nicely. Except a lot of people now have seen how it works. It was a little too obvious.
Merry Christmas :) followed very quickly by a Happy New Year! and then comes a New Age! With a lot of people a lot wiser ;) Good Luck to All!
To Alpha, some of my kd mates, and other random people on the good side.
You've tried your best to explain, but some people will still keep throwing ****. I don't spend too much time arguing with such people. Just like previous war threads, I will only address to the logical. If you keep repeating the same thing and keep getting the same response, you are the idiot if you don't change the process.
Any logical content would have been exchanged and presented in the first 3-5 pages. Ffs, 34 pages and still counting. Has any new content been generated? No. Just rehashing and iterating points. Just ignore them. So what if they call you names or throw more ****. Let them be. I'm only commenting now because it really pains me to see my friends keep arguing with these idiots.
[edit] My post will be shot by more people too. So what? Just do your own things and let them get off. It's xmas eve.
I actually agree with you that Iampost should try to show evidence instead of just saying you deal broke.
But here is my problem. If you haven't changed a whole lot very recently I know that you keep pretty tight records. So are you saying you never dealt at all with that kingdom? are you saying you forgot? Or are you saying if he can't show it, it doesn't count?
If you did in fact wave into an active hostile I am fairly certain you know. If there was a deal, I am fairly certain you know.
Had you said there was no deal and no deal break and no hitting into hostile when it first came up, I would have taken your word for it. I can't speak for everyone but like always I give people the benefit of the doubt. It's not so easy now after you deliberately ignored it, then refused an answer and now you act like you don't know.
The reason I am pointing this out is because I don't think you are a bad person. I think you are a good person that got himself into a pickle by trying hard to be a harda$$, a stern, uncompromising person that expects to get his way at all cost.
Our previous Monarch of Outsiders (before we disbanded) is no longer around. Weather or not Iampost is even able to get logs from Apocolypse, I am unsure.
Logs or no logs, our kingdom knows what went down... and we do not forget. We are asking nobody to defend what happened. We did not come to the forums to whine about it. FS is FS... this is what they, and many others do. Hitting down, into an active hostile is actually a safe bet... and they played those cards.
We HAD either an EOA CF with FS, or a year 12 (I am unsure of specifics). I believe we also have a current "un-term'ed" CF with them due to their orginal DB, and us calling in an ally to stop the sh1tplay.
The burden of proof is on the accusers. I think Sampuan's point is that there was no deal to cause a deal break and there was not a wave into hostile either. Simple messages and showing of paper would clear this up quickly. If the evidence exists, it should be presented. It's not even hard. Copy/Paste. If you're going to accuse and someone asks you for proof, is it too much to ask for you to give it? Papers, in-game messages, etc aren't sensitive, so what's the issue with sharing them? Bring forth the evidence or stfo. If you don't have the logs because your old monarch is gone, then that's too bad for you. After your monarch is gone, it's your job to gather info on your cfs and such by getting the logs from the pertinent monarchs so you are sure where you stand. I'm pretty sure FS would know more about what the deal was than you in this case, and would have shared the logs with you had you asked. They still could provide them if you weren't so standoffish.
oh wow...35 pages of drama...better then any soap opera :)
I believe Iampost is actually our previous monarch. So if he wants to fight this battle and provide logs, thats up to him.
We are no longer Outsiders, but some of us still hold personal grudges, and we need not explain that.
Making vague accusations that the accused cannot defend himself against is also a form of bullying. You did not bring it up, but Iampost did. You agreed with Iampost but neither of you have given and details that Francis could acknowledge or deny. Maybe your ally could help out with verification or the kingdom you had the hostile with
Can you tards work things out as I was hoping to log into Clash this week ? I'm aware you all are a bit weird but I'd like to play a game from this millennium. =]
Edit: Or someone fill me in on this horse****. No idea what y'all are up to.
As I said, I am no longer part of Outsiders... or in any leadership position. Nor did I have anything to do with the calling in of allies. This matter needs to be taken up with Iampost if you require more concrete evidence.
I do agree with Iampost's statements... but thats as far as I go. Like i said, I'm not here asking for anything, I am just verbally backing Iampost's statements. This is his fight, his reputation... and the reputation of the accused. I'm just a player, that posts from time to time, that was in the KD when Iampost's claims happened. Nothing more, nothing less.
is the GB open for everyone? at least to reduce my boredom waiting EoA. :D
