There's been a lot of complaining about Absalom ruining the game by dominating the top and not letting anyone else compete. These accusations are false. Absalom doesn't win the majority of the time. Going back 20 ages (that stretches back to the end of Playboys), Abs has won 7 crowns, 9 if you insist on including HoH, which you shouldn't. So 11/20 crowns were won by kds who were 100% non-affiliated with Absalom. It's not like there's no room to compete.
THE PROBLEM is that there aren't enough people competing. Of course Abs is sitting at the top. They're the only good kds left in the game. The top 4 is very appropriate because that's really about it. What's frustrating is that there COULD be so much more.
Where is BiO? They haven't tagged in 2 ages. Have they had any success? Did they do anything? Do they still exist? It's like Flogger left and then baka gave up.
Simians spends their time annoying bad/beaten up kds and generally looking for excuses to play dirty as some sort of backwards justice system for their self-imposed double hostile when they tried to crown. You're multi-notice was a huge gamble, it didn't pay off, and it cost you our crown. Get over it and stop being perpetually butt-hurt about it. You say that you assembled a roster that can compete with ANYONE and then you go and completely ignore all the actual competition and instead get into stupid hostiles with kds have your size vulture of TFC leftovers for absolutely no reason. If you don't want people to think you're a ghetto, stop acting like a ghetto and start acting like a relevant kd.
Snizzo/PewPew are trying their hardest but they just can't find success. At least they aren't quitting. I'll give them a lot more credit than 90% of the kds on the server.
Sillcats (speaking of not tagging...) are one of the best kds on server. They can beat just about anyone, but they refuse to give any kind of real effort towards playing the REAL game. With the game more war oriented than ever it's absolutely silly to NOT try to war to a crown. Quit being scarred little kitties and do something.
Dear good players sitting in terrible kds,
Assemble a new cool kd and do something. You can claim all you want about how good you are. Talk is cheap and if you're kd is garbage then you are garbage. I don't care what you've done. All that means is you used to be good.
Dear Decent kds who refuse to grow at all and want to war,
Warring is a lot more fun at the top with kds who can actually beat you. Winning (and even losing) a close game is always 1000% more fun than an absolute blowouts. Stop taking the easy way out and actually challenge yourself to get better.
Dear ghetto players who want to be in a top kd,
It's not nearly as much of a boy's club as your other ghetto buddies who don't know what they're talking about will tell you. Get in touch with them. Go to their IRC chans. Ask if they've got a spot. If you've got a smartphone you're prolly in a good position to play SOMEWHERE decent.
Dear bad monarchs,
Challenging other bad monarchs doesn't make you better. It reinforces all your bad habits that make you bad. You learn nothing in the ways of strategy. You learn nothing in the ways of being better. All you learn is that the other ghetto was worse than you are.
Dear ghettos sitting on 20 provs,
RECRUIT SOMEONE! Seriously, it's not hard.
Get better utopia. This is embarrassing. The top 10 used to mean something. Now a kd who can't attack gets into a 2 week hostile, drops 7-8 spots and gets back into the top 10 without even trying.
I want to see a cool community of kds again. Not Absalom, their buddy HoH, whatever kd flogger is in, and a possible wildcard.
This rant is over for now, but not for a lack of more things to rant about.
