I saw those as well, and I saw someone with a rotten orange tweet the picture and say this doesn't bode well for the movie :/

All i think about when i read this thread title is this.

So after reading this epic thread, I find myself questioning what the hell people are arguing about.

I've played this game on and off for many years, some of those years on the top, and the last few in the "war tier"... I suppose you could call Ruthless a ghetto... I don't care really what you label us. We have an incredibly strong core group of players, but none of us really want (or is able to) put the effort in to take it to the next level. We like to have fun while still being challenged. Our war record and avg opp size should speak to that (102% at this time).

We're very comfortable playing at our level, and as makeo pointed out - we've had lots of tough wars this age, the majority of which we were the underdogs. We pulled through. They were tough, but good fights.

That being said, I've been on both ends ... being the bully and being bullied. It's part of the game to farm and get farmed. Was I happy/excited about it when FS started in on us? Not really. We decided that we weren't going to go with the status quo so we put up a fight. You were going to take the honor any way, so why not have some fun with it. Taking into consideration that essentially every possible kingdom in our range had declined war with us.

When things went down, I didn't have the time to do any diplo so I just rolled with the punches. If the meter maxed and we had war, well, it most certainly would have been... interesting.

I don't necessarily hold anything against FS for what happened with us - I get that it is just how the game goes. So, gratz to FS for taking #1 honor.

FS to beat divinity to win ww crown too?

Juice: Good summation. Remind me if I get some time after new year that we should go again and have fun. =]

I've no interest at the moment.

But then again, I am an asshole.

I'm aware you are a scorched earth advocate. =]

For me, ruining an age to slow someone with sci and position is silly. =]

We got waved at whatever % near the limit it was and sometimes you have to cop it as a consequence of how you approach the game.

Go monarch and run waves and put us in a big 25 province size if you wish to. =) Unless someone commits to that it will always be the way that big nw /land kd will be able to enforce their position despite our wpa/ability.

And with the bonuses from winning, we will get smacked down on honor when the big boy 25 province kds engage unless we do the same. =[

Some people just love to watch the world burn.

As far as the in game disrespect in general alot of the good players think they are gods gift and do talk down to people. But, 94% vs 103% is nothing to get butt hurt about. You could of did a small explore on all provs, hit fort and been equal or close to it if you wanted too. It really comes down to this.....

If you retaliated without trying to negotiate a better position first for your kd then its your own fault.
BUTTTT
If you tried to negotiate a better position and a fair war and they said "fight now, or bend over and bite the pillow" then well you could probably can call them bullies.

Weather they hit you first or not is irrelevant if a more even playing field wasn't even attempted and you just blindly retaled. It seems to me you purposely kept the networth difference between you 2 to validate a war dodging but are trying to use their incoming hits as justification for a retal. You can't retal from a losing position, deny a cf, and then try to call them bullies.

93% vs 103% is a very easily close-able gap for two parties interested in a fair war. Maybe they were rude, but you probably did war dodge.

earth you misunderstood...93% and 103% were the average opponent size on each kingdom. In relation to each other ...in our case we weren't in declare range until nw was dropped. With Ruthless I am not sure but they were quite a bit smaller as well. So there was no dodging.

To sound nicer, I waving for war
In my inner heart, if I wanna secure more honor to get the top spot, best deal is to wave a much smaller kingdom for free wave in the pretext of looking do war.

Why?--u get free wave with no retal. At most u claim those in range unwilling to war and unfortunately u are the next biggest who is available .

Simple logic. I been doing that previously also. FS thgt we all just started playing utopia YeSTERDAY! Lmao
