From my perspective lots of mentally unstable people play this game. You can call us crazy if you will. It's a 14 year old text based game that people sink time and money into so that fact that crazy people are here goes without saying.
Now, when you piss off crazy people, crazy people will do crazy things. I think we can agree there. Cats has repeatedly been a nuissence and talked down to others when asked to stop. If you keep throwing gas on a fire, don't be surprised when the forest burns down. If you keep punching a hornets nest, don't be shocked when you get stung. Now we gave you something to do, and you gave us something to do. ***** and moan about this all you want. Troll channels and stuff all you want. In the end, this is what happens when you tick of people who flat out don't give a rat's ass about the chart but are there anyway.
Lots of hypocrisy here coming from BIO/Inso.
You guys ever heard of a kingdom named Sleepy? For ages they would play for the sole purpose of doing FSU to "Abs" and a few select kingdoms. Sleepy would never cf an Abs kingdom without a fight and would always get into range to war these kingdoms age after age. When not in range, Sleepy would "tax" Abs kingdoms by constantly robbing them and refusing to cf. Of course Sleepy had friends of their own who they would cf (Fratzia for instance) which would greatly benefit those kingdoms in the crown race.
Did Sleepy get gbed for this kind of conduct? Not at all. They were feared and respected by kingdoms looking to crown.
On the flip side, Cats a smaller indie kingdom is robbing the entire server without cfing or moving on (same way Sleepy did - expect they focused on "Abs" more) and they get gbed for refusing to CF. There is no obligation on part of another kingdom to cf you just because you want it. Last age Cats robbed millions of us prior to our fights with Bio and Old School. While I do agree with those who say that robbing two potentially hostile kingdoms after notice has been issued is wrong and screws up the entire conflict for those kingdoms, I think there is a better way to educate Cats about that - communication rather than gangbang. Cats players have countered this argument by saying "well what if two kingdoms are about to fight in a week from now, or in a month..do we stay out of that?" Obviously not. The vast majority of notice deals are 48h or 72h, making anything longer than that would defeat the purpose.
So the difference here is a cats is an smaller indie type kingdom who robs from everyone and doesn't want to cf, BIO doesn't like it and gbs them. I guess its all good when people are only doing this to Abs for instance, no one says its unfair - but when it happens to you, you gangbang them. Obviously lesson here is don't farm someone for land, gc, etc past the breaking post - do it for a while, get what you need, offer cf and move on. If not you will draw the wrath of others. For whoring kingdoms this meant, if you farm someone too much they wont just give you free hits, they'll hit you back and you will get deterred from the crown race. Although cats did not move on and kept on robbing (same way Sleepy would do in the past), gangbang is going over the top when you alone are capable of raze-killing. No need to escalate this beyond 1v1 imo.
See, you are again sneaking in completely false things into what you write.Quote:

As for the trolling of channels, I remember some people yesterday being less then friendly in our public. All we did today in your public was being silly for half an hour =)
Proteus, you actually talk a lot of sense when you're not slightly drunk! :)
I thought the day would never arrive but I mostly agree with Proteus on this one!
Still if the kds involved feel strongly enough to justify their actions then fair play to them for following their conviction. It looks like nobody has come out of this conflict looking good.
I seem to remember an age where rage raze killed sleepy provinces while sleepy were in war with seasons. Cool story bro.Quote:

The fire will burn down the forest yes, it wont wait for the "right" moment hornets will sting you but they will do it right away and not wait and bide their time either.Quote:

I'm of two minds on this personally split between agreeing with proteus and agreeing with kygal/flogger.
A big part of this is a direct result of an overprotection of smaller kingdoms that has resulted in top kingdoms unable to effectively defend themselves against smaller kingdoms without drastic measures.
This was long ago. Pked province was coss and he full deserved it. All story is long, shady and complicated. I don't think rage should be blamed for this. I will take all blame because its was arranged from me :)Quote:

Its very simple, you got something at stake and other side doesnt ? You are handicapped in that conflict, its that simple, only question is does the other side knows how to deal with it.
Even if jdorje's ideas about dicing/pool would be to implemented 100% crown contender would still be handicapped in eventual conflict as long as he is breakable by other KD.
Why ? because raze works 2 way, cycle razes thru charting's KD breakable provinces dancing arround gb protection and watch them loose 5 acres for everey 1 they raze off you ... its that simple. If you never razed province 3 times your landsize you have no idea what you are missing =)
So could we please stop using Cats size as an actual argument that means anything in this particular situation, any charting KD who ran into any type of conflict with smaller oponent faced the same problem and had to find a way out of it, its been like that since they implemented knrg.
Ppl have been dealing with this handicap forever w/o running to friends for help ... not like beeing significantly larger doesnt bring advantages of its own to the table.
Thats not even mentioning Cats were in perfectly decent range this age. Bio and the crew keep talkin like Cats were too small for them to get good gains on them which is of course bs. Since when is it impossible to deal with KD 2/3 your side just cause you cant get button on them ?
Once they gave up crowning race and land lost was no longer a factor every and all reason to complain about game mechanics went down the drain, and until than there was no foul play anyway ...
And it was Seasons that actually killed coss..Quote:

Anyways, GG cats for war win.
Poorly coordinated GB is poorly coordinated. Did you guys even talk to each other or did inso just jump in opportunistically?
Last age was fun at times, too few wars but still we had fun.
This age has been great so far, we love all of it except the lying in the forum but I guess that is the cost for having fun.
About game mechanics, I don't think they will be happy until they can have their own server to play on, 6 boring KDs trying to crown in peace and having totaly inactive bots to hit for land.
