Realization: The name "Emeriti" encourages the use of "Abs"

"I didn't have time to play this and won't next age but I will spend day after day after day posting in the forums for hours"

Man...I feel like that describes someone else...can't quite put my finger on it...

I am playing though and never stated I havent had time to play. :) See the difference? :))

Korp, you may be playing but you sure aren't making much for yourself ingame. Most people don't even know where you play. If I were to play and lead a top kingdom and an alliance, it'd take me a lot more time than you likely spend on the game. On top of all that, I'd probably spend just as much time or more posting as I do now (which isn't actually all that much on average.)

does this fantasy land where you've handed our asses to us 9 times out of 10 come with a supermodel wife and a house in the hamptons? I think you gained land 3 of those 10, including that 500 acre "farming" two ages ago

My guess is that it comes with you pressing the I lose button.

We've gained land most of the fights. There was 3-4 times we didn't gain much besides the ww bonus and the reshuffeling of land to get big provs and provs who could random back up. That's including the 1 of 10 that you won. I am only aware of two times that you actually gained land with one being the one time you won and the other being when you were avians and min time wd up a wave. Last age you farmed out in one of the biggest farm outs in memory -- 68k acres I think that Emeriti gained?

Two ages ago we gained enough that we were a solid #2 (only behind Pyro due to the Shinra farm out) while you were way behind until late age when we warred Pyro and you arranged farm wars to catch up.

Anyway, congrats on the win this age. I understand that Utopia isn't only about winning 1v1 fights and you've successfully "changed the rules" and returned utopia to the days where your contacts and influence are as or more instrumental than your province and kingdom. Obviously having my kingdom be the first victim of this change wasn't what I wanted, but I can still show my respect to innovators.

Oh man tetley, nice thread buddy.

was it not drixx and fake rage to lead the fake fair play alliance to gb ama not so long ago.. so hypocritical. there was no reason for that should have let cr handle their own business instead you losers in fake rage jumped at the chance to gb ama ..

I think it's a sad day when there's so few good kd's to try and eliminate a good kingdom like Emereti. Same as I was sad when Simians disbanded. The games too small and the players are too few to try and GB kingdoms into folding.

I remember the slogan for the FPA like it was yesterday :P

"25 Green!"

Most of the kingdoms that participated in the fun filled event were sour kingdoms that AMA had pawned at one time or another, or you had the kingdoms like Rusty trying to get in good with the FPA kingdoms by razing into all our wars we had with all of the other clown kingdoms. The good thing about getting GB'd by 12 kingdoms is u have 12 buttons tho!

I think players like Elit and ASF etc make the game funner and more competitive when their playing Utopia. I hope all of the kingdoms involved from both sides continue to play utopia and hold the number of players instead of dropping them.

Just my 2 cents :P

Best post ever

Perhaps this awar has helped decide The Virtual Kingdom theme next age: Fantasy Island.

Crunch, I don't know much of anything about the old FPA or RBL's involvement in it. I wasn't playing or even reading the forums at that time. I think you're probably right that they were involved, but I doubt they were leading it although I don't really know.

[StratOcastle]

AMA was pretty dangerous I recall and the wave they hit CR rendered all CRs elves to the bottom. AMA was aligned with elves center and CR had theirs distributed at different nw intervals prior to the AMA wave. it was a shame because CR reportedly could handle the wave, but the alliance got involved. If only after the fact...

CRs version of the AMA alignment in subsequent ages shows they get it. I'm sure it's all old school strategy, but nobody else was using the AMA formation in the top. I loved watching them work and diplo was always secondary to fun in my neighborhood.

Leaving all dealbreaking talk apart, We had been pumping for a long time and had pretty insane science. It was a classic case that AMA had to war that age, CR secured the right CF's and pumped so come late age it was probably gonna be a CR win in a war at close acres. Thats when all the dealbreaking stuff happened and the rest is history

We loved Elf Warheros in CR, I personally played one and it was fun turtling them up

But ASF you concede that it's an easy slide from "Kingdom for and by old ABS members; former ABS player 'retirement ghetto'" to "ABS kingdom" right? Especially with the name Emeriti lol
