stop lying. getting old and its not true just cause you keep repeting it.

Bart runs two kingdoms, explores max on both, and starts war with himself first few hours of OOP, with the goal of messing with emeriti by completely farming one out to another. Within a few hours of you learning this, you do the same thing and farm the same amount to the point where Bart has to CF you instead.
This happened, pretty sure anyone watching the top remembers it happening, as it was only a few ages ago. Sorry you got caught?
We werent caught, cause we didnt do anything wrong. Stop spreading false rumores. Didnt sparta get removed from charts that age? newsflash, we werent removed from any charts, or lost any province. Cause we dont cheat. You repeting your lie doesnt make it so, and pillz backing you up doesnt make it right
What a load of rubbish. All crowns are valuable.
At the end of the day, it is about the people and the journey that matters. Octobrev and Elit will know what I am talking about as we have crowns together. Cheers boys. :-)
I ran one of the KDs, after the whole KD followed my simed protection strategy to the letter we were #1 nw and land coming out of protection. We had an arranged war with Bart's KD, we had 2 KDs full of dwarves that could barely hit each other, I think the land exchange difference in war was 300 (three hundred) acres. Honestly I wish we didn't war Bart but someone else, maybe someone we could break.
Any crown with Syntico is best crown! <3
We got the huge war win bonus, don't get me wrong. It was a lucrative war, it would have been more lucrative against almost anyone else willing to war though.
The kingdom and I weren't ready for going #1 and we dropped out of contention soon afterwards. I made a mistake thinking Divinity wouldn't wave us too and didn't bother to nag them for a CF either, that lead to some farmoutish war, we did lock them long enough though, they were kind of surprised by how well we performed 20% NW down or so, or so they say at least. Then all the fiasco happened later so that didn't even matter in the end.
Octobrev needs to call me. I have a special place in my heart for him.
Just waiting for that call...
I dont know how big is WW bonus now days so maybe wars like this is profit.
About mistakes you did. Im surprised but every one do same mistake. When you start lead kingdom and new roster you need to spend at lest 1 age in warring chart till you get used to lead/kd namagment and you see people activity and all hidden problems. If you go land chart with first age kd/new lead its high risk. From one side you dont know what to expect from second in land chart have big stagnation. When you go down its hard to return back (if you dont have frendly farming). So people start think its failure and moral drop. From other side if you stay waring range its more frlex. Loss 1 war is not game over, you can go next one, so Kd still have his age goals and what to do. Leading in land chart is kind disaster.
I will belive alot of things about mr binbin and abs but flogger telling on them means about 0, there is no truth left in his words and today he is mostly just a troll trying to stire **** up ... wait i know that feeling, and i do belive ems and binbin play more fair then most, tho im not 100% convinced its all clean, but who cares the game is broken (not the game) but the players.
I just got mail about my inbox i almost full so i start check what do delete and i have hard time to delete any msg so i hope admins can increase my limit. For example i cant delete msg like this from 04.06.2012:

It wasn't my first age leading that KD, although in a way it was. You see my first age we ended something like #2 NW and Land but I'm not proud of that age. My first age leading you can picture as if you let Proteus lead a KD alone. End of age half of the KD left my sorry ass to go back to Bart, the same people I had to war oop next age. So it was overall a weird situation and a weird KD merger that Bart and I pushed for, might have been a mistake all things considered at the time but all is well that ends well and some people went to join another KD (forgot which) and some are still playing with Sparta today with the original Sparta core.

The reason i even read this thread to start with was that i thought i would see you here, i just had a feeling.. ;)
Hope everything is alright with you!

There for sure is beauty in failure as well and in all honesty crowning is not always the most fun, but without the crowns causing all the drama it causes the forum would be probably 90% smaller and well and there for crowns are important. The system to make some crowns worth more then other is all about being able to use your own crowns to end discussion with ("but we won") but at the same time not give people you dislike the ability to do so, which obviously is bs. If you're in the charts you're in the charts..
I'm still waiting for Realest.
Hope die last....He wont return, at lest not when ABS or Simians are around :D
p.s.
I have no idea if we have meet before in irc so maybe some from my advices is not really need for you. Still if you dont give up leading and learn from your/other mistakes lead is not so big deal. First come your own KD, if you have people want to play with you all rest is easy.
so much salt in this thread, I highly approve!
That being said, ww crows are garbage (even more so when it was just ghetto bashing) as are most crowns from last 5 years since competition seems to be down to a couple of kds.
As mentioned earlier PB dice crown, BiO b2b warring crown and the age with the cov/abs war are some that stand out as impressive/fun/valuable crowns imo
Thanks for correcting. Yeah, I remember something like that in one of those waves of changes. They keep nerfing low province number KDs over and over, hard to get ritual up too.
@Elit
This is the most we've ever talked by far. I don't use IRC at all. Thanks for caring!
I just play in a kingdom right now and do what I can when I have the energy for it, it's a form of leading in itself.
To be fair, I think that what Elit did last age is a lot more noteworthy and valuable in all respects than most recent Prov and KD crowns. Given that the last 3 Land/NW crowns were farmed out, and the same might as well be said of Emeriti's crowns 'cause BB is ****, Elit running a radio-silent province in a shell KD at least demonstrates skill and posed a challenge beyond securing a farm out.
Prov crowns too increasingly become about who can secure the best farm outs or tax their friends.
Strategically sound in terms of securing a win, but practically speaking counter productive since the value of the accomplishments diminishes and it seems like the **** play (I think we need a new term at this point for some of these things) keeping ratcheting up.
EDIT: Even Elit's own self-congratulatory thread has more posts than DavidC's post for the age 74 winners...
To be fair, our 5-6 prov kingdom also tried to play anonymously and "radio silent" too but we got too much attention and some people somehow figured out who we were. I'm still interested in knowing how exactly they found out for sure.
Being all the proper crowns are so ****ty these days, are the real crown Honour/WW now?
The war crown requires a body of work reliant on enemy participation. These may not be the most mechanically accomplished kingdoms, but they certainly must be reputable.
Edit: Province crowns from radio silent micro-kingdoms are interesting and I'm able to relate with the skills involved. My main focus in micro-kingdoms is growing from pure retal and no pool use. Though I can no longer claim the skill of being an ace random attacker, it was that I felt no need to disrupt other players by age 60. 59 was the last age I grew through random to meet kingdom objectives.
