Dear Emeriti

[Proteus]

You can think whatever you want but reason we chose to LD was because key members of leadership aren't going to be around for our conflicts and people want a rest after playing competitively for 4 ages and having B2B 10 and 12 day wars. You told me you had quit for years after you had a 7 day war, well our time in war was a multiple of the war that made you quit. Had we given you anything, we'd still need to deal with other kingdoms and again with LS out why would we want to put that kinda strain and pressure on people. Would we give land to every single top kd for the right to not play utopia competitively for 4 weeks? Why on earth would we do that. And the last point was, why would we want to give BB, the only kd we have bad relations with in this game any land after they screwed us last age. Had we had cfs with everyone til already on the books then we could have coasted while people were out; however thats not the case. BB had the opportunity to war last age instead of going to Vegas or mod could have ran the war since he wasn't going to Vegas but you guys didn't want to do that. Some of our LS is going to be out of the country 2.5+ weeks longer than you spent in Vegas so how about that.

Also Bb is the only one QQing here and the same people that always troll (Korp, Mike, Sheister, etc.) I don't see anyone from Sleepy, WSK, Divinity, The Mango, etc complaining or talking smack. That alone invalidates the whole argument you made. Had your points being so "universal" and "logical" all could see their indisputable merit and come here to agree with you.

Our claim to being the best candidate for crowning last age was the fact that we took over 50k acres of land against the will of the second kd best able to crown that age, BB. When it came to war, BB had the opportunity to win but failed to do so and instead was down 37k acres of land and millions of NW. At the start of the war, Emeriti was #1 and BB was #2 in land, at EOA Emeriti was #2 due to Barcolo gaining a lot of land OOW but BB was #4 land. War is the time for you to defend your acres against other kds. If you failed to defend your acres and take your opponent's acres, you have 0% chance to crown. Also don't forget that BB with #gametheory made their cf expire with us at the same time as WSK last age and leading up to Y3 used #gametheory to tell us that they were going to fight us at cf expiration. When Emeriti noticed Bb at cf expiration Bb said they did not want to fight and took the easier conflict with another kd. It was at that point in the age BB has 0% chance to crown before any hits were exchanged. The great Bb should have noticed us at Y3 at cf expiration and owned us as you claim but instead chose an easier conflict with WSK where BB had multiple advantages going in. Why not just beat your #1 competitor early age and lock up the age win right then there eh?


You say we take things too seriously but yet you make posts like this in another post talking about "20 years of greatness" and taking down to others. Hope you spent your bday in a better place than being drunk on the forums.

There's a reason me and ASF try to remind eachother who picked the setup of the winning ages when we talk
To eachother, it's mainly because we're in competition of what the best 3 players of the games history with eachother and I imagine Sid. We happily disregard the proteus's and binars of the world as interchangable and irrelevant as you are. You're willing to spend your effort trying to convince people his knowledge makes you good. fantastic. pathetic, but great for him. I've never pulled that off, I'd love to. It's what I'm most envious about, personally.

That's why it's equally hilarious when a you or binar type try to get an ego when talking to me about ego. No offense, you both are just on a different level and neither of you have accomplished anything outside of him making you
Do the grunt work. If you want my recognition, do it out of his shadow, as 90% of the age is based on setups and we make sure to tell eachother when we picked a setup that works and we also tend to make sure we
Tell eachother when we have nothing to do with it. We've been competing for damn near 20 years.

Your entire history as a player has been marred by absolute failure and dysfunction until you got to rage. Do something impressive somewhere else if you want respect.
