So basically, BB wants free CFs every age because they aren't competing, but if they are in a good position to contend, they'll decide after the fact that they are competing, even if they're only in that position because they got free CFs because they said they weren't competing?
Sounds like emeriti is right for not wanting to give you free CFs.
Haha sounds like my joy when i did my 1000 piece puzzle :o
That's a nice coffee table. With legless chairs(Polga)it'd be D&D compatible.
In fairness, if BB wanted to crown it would be far too easy just by looking at their setup compared to the other 3 KD's at the top.
Are those avian warriors? Yeah, I told you guys. Well I tell everybody every age, just out of politeness.
War kingdoms who are capable of handling themselves against the rest of the war tier keep building farmable strats.
And I'm kind of fond of BB but no top kingdom should CF an unquantified threat. You see a guy with 20 avians you might want to create distance. When I ran avians there was never an orc threat. Ever. It took numbers to bring me down, and you're probably thinking "yeah". Amplify my avian by 20.
Exactly how i feel and exactly how its been most of the time.Quote:

I've given way more free CFs than I received :p
And yet you can't help it but to yield it over every age because you get outplayed and have to sucker up for that CF. lawlQuote:

beating the first 3 peat champs in like 10 years gets you no love? harsh. I can pretty much join any war kingdom and beat pretty much any superkingdom simply by my #proskills. The rest of em need 25 people who never log off to even compete. Every time I joined a fresh new war kd whose never competed we won the first age we tried. #truth #bio4ever #canufeelthepulse, but yeah I miss my BB'ers, they're pretty pro, but they wanted to slack and pyro didn't so I went to help them out a bit for a few ages. At this point if prot wanted to stay up for 20 hours a day he could probably run a war the same way I do. Had CJ and nesta not had their BFF fights, woulda been a pretty unbeatable threesome leading that one.Quote:

Emeriti is the best kd on the server by far, they got tripled and ****ed OOP and BB didn't push any advantage whatsoever eventhough they were #1 OOP and undisturbed and CF'd em for like 3-4 weeks. If they were going for #1 actively they woulda been way rougher on em. If I was leading BB in that spot I'd have wanted 10% of their land, mostly on my banks and faes, and wanted a pretty short like 2 week CF and would have setup my CFs to war them when it was done. Not go yr7 without any hits. Even without that, I woulda just warred em now when they had a huge advantage they won't have a few weeks from now. Most likely BB is going to be left out of the crown hunt while others fight and end up staying #2/#3. BB's crown shot was warring emeriti within the next week, most likely.
Do I see someone joining Emeriti soon?Quote:

2. When BB was constant TOP 3 during our ally time now BB have hard time to finish in TOP 3 made it only 2 ages. I don't know why is it just its statistic from chart.
If you ask to be left alone and let other kds compete so you can finish n2-3 its a bit unfair to other kingdoms. CR don't compete so all rest competitors are equal and only Emerity is better one.
Last age we defected a few provs and the age before we reset some big provs to honor whore so we dropped a bunch of land :PQuote:

So realistically you should join Sparta and win a crown every age. We got all the ingredients for you to be successful and in me you'll have a supreme motivator and people-manager. I await your application EOA, or do you work by invitation only :D ?Quote:

Protector is very practical. We all might bite our fingernails because of BeastBloods setup, position and reputation but protector is right. In the long view the best way to slack is from a position of power.
If Pyromaniacs would've had the recruits they certaining had the framework for a solid kingdom. I was surprised at the naivety of some of the core. This was critical in the loss to Freeakstyle. Nobody seemed able to pivot their focus. That nesta was microing every hit he was active for speaks volumes. I didn't envy nesta. I mean, I'm crude but I know how to fight unguided and strike keystone strats.
The Sparta war was not a shining moment. My impression was Pyro leadership was burned out.
The major problem with microing is that it makes your core lazy and inept. My moment of insight came about a year ago when I took an age off to focus on my studies. I still idled in Spartan chat and found out that when I wasn't managing people, the first 1-2 weeks they seemed lost. After that however they started picking up and doing things themselves. A good leader knows how to motivate those he puts in charge of the various tasks in the KD. The key is giving people real authority to make calls and always back them up no matter if the decision is good or bad. Progress is slower, and it is definitely no fast-track to glory, but in the long run that pays off.Quote:
