Few Kds that actually have balls.

This post makes it sound like Spartans have never warred a KD where it's been a free win for them, 2 ages ago would like a word with you.

People change, kingdoms change. Spartans learnt their lesson are now playing a clean game. Anyways, I never said that getting easy wars is bad perse, it's hiding and pretending you're weaker than you actually are that is the problem. Instead of the good kingdoms facing off early-age and having meaningful wars, most of the good warring Kingdoms basically do ghetto bashing until their 4th war.

Good war kds want to war kds with records. 3/3, 4/4, 5/6 etc. ghettos rarely reach this

Tagging up is irrelevant, personally we never look at names, unless it's someone that has been a dick in the past.

^This.

Tagging up means you won't be warring kingdoms that you have no business warring. It's sad that the "top warring kingdoms" can't survive without easy farms wars where the other kingdom isn't sure what they're getting into. sAD

<3 mythos doe ;)

and yet you hide...

They were probably dicks in the past then.

Been a long time since we could hide. Hell we get noticed in any theme usually week 1.

Aren't we allowed to run themes? I did not know it was against the rules.

Does it always get posted in the forums, nope but as you know rarely is anyone from our kd in here, other than me because I like to read all the bullsnot.

Doubt you would find anyone that says that but it's possible.

We try to be decent.

That's weird. TFC always ran a fun theme for the age and we never had a problem fitting the name of our kingdom into the kingdom name
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[neanderthal]

Really. You could fit 3 whole letters in.

I think this thread is funny. Tagging up or not has nothing to do with balls. It has to do with strategy. As some good warring kds would attest, the culture in Utopia right now is that of being scared. Most monarchs run a generally scared warring policy due to a lack of preparation for their next opponent and will only war in very favorable conditions. This has been going for many ages now. Not tagging helps more organized kds to look easier to war and thus gets them a war more quickly. It doesn't always mean easier wars, but it definitely means war more quickly than if tagged. An unconventional warring set up also runs along the same lines as not tagging. To the average monarch, they see no mystics or t/ms and they think it's a winnable war. It worked great got Green this age when Spartans waved into us without knowing we were Green. It was such a refreshing thing to have the button after a full wave from a KD. That just doesn't simply happen anymore. And I would out money down that the spartans wouldn't have just full waved us if they knew were green. Bart would've definitely messaged us and tried to set terms.

No. We were tagged up as "The Faery Circle" most of the time, because that's who we were ;)

Both of those ^ are true.

[Korp]

Well, for TFC there was no point in hiding cause their kd strat was pretty obvious give away. But the notion that if you arent tagged up with your kd name you are hiding is pretty stupid.

[Palem]

We tried tagging as "Definitely Not Faeries" one OOP...didn't work :(


Also, later in the age, sure. Everyone that cares knows who BB is knows where they are, for example. But for the first couple weeks while people haven't separated themselves, it's pretty clear what everyone is trying to do (i.e. wreck some ghetto that doesn't know what's going on)

I'd scroll through the thousands of messages in our chat, but... to paraphrase Bart before our wave 'we're going to get creamed'. We knew what were were getting ourselves into... and we do do the whole waving-into-war thing against a tough opponent every now and then ;) and hey, fair fight. You guys deserved the win.
