Right now being bigger and stronger doesn’t mean much when the other kd would never war.

    That’s one thing I personally would like to see changed because you can work hard all age to achieve a top position then someone can get a lucky war and while you are stronger there is not a lot that you can do with autocf, throttling, etc.
    hence why y'all shoulda just agreed to war BB a week ago. Now you're leaving it to whether or not some other random kd farms past while ya got no GC. I see the rankings for the first time in a couple weeks. You and BB have the same setup, if you're as good as you think you are, you just win it outright no doubt a weeks ago, and let the BB folks know whose better without being an ass about it. Now you gotta make sure no one screws ya, as the top has tightened up quite a bit.

    If you really just suck and have no real confidence other than riding dorje and ASF's coattails, then you do what you've been doing the past few years. The second I or someone else with half a clue decides to play the game again, your run is over.

    The best part of that philosophy is when you're the best kingdom and you know you'll mostly always win anyways, you never make enemies. The entire history of proteus and dorje running kingdoms is people ending up hating them so much they **** them out of crown after crown. They never realized that if they actually were that good (and I believe both of them to be quite good), they just never had confidence to let it play out in a fight like y'all coulda agreed to this age.

    I know I am now waiting for Sparta to crown.

    It does feel like every age emeriti get to advantage position and then don't develop a plan to open. Their argument is it is more advantageous to make people take the crown from them. As a single conflict matter they are correct. However the waiting it involves allow these late age leapfrogs. If emeriti want the crown, the onus is as much on them as on us to take it. Otherwise they risk getting leap frogged at EoA.

    Imho

    Who are you kidding here man? Have you seen your own kds Intel, military mix, etc. You absolutely have zero intention to war if you get opened on but rather would abuse mechanics to stay out of war and look to outgain, get autocf, use explore pool. I can’t believe you even made that statement. Also last age you won a big war that put you at #1 and didn’t really push war to try and protect it and we ended up hitting anyways after a while.

    @flogger

    You don’t just give kingdoms that lame played you out of stuff in the past free passes. BB exerted themselves for over a week to stay in an unwinnable war they were hemorrhaging acres/NW just to block us so Barcolo could farm their friends OOW and shape the charts. This was in spite of your and other LS promises that BB would WD as you conceded that you lost.

    Until BB gives us free acres to reset relations and apologizes for what they did we won’t ever be willing to do them a solid. If we lose it’s typically because someone wants to play lame and block, shape charts, etc not because we were beaten. So we could not crown and still do better than BB, I think it’s in their interest more so to reset relations so they can win some crowns too. The minute Bb gives free land as an apology is when relations get reset as they once were.

    Which had you not putzed around you all would have had time to work around.

    You all are rolling the dice that Sparta won't own you now.

    This is not on BB, this is all on emeriti who have been in the dirver's seat all age.

    Just deleting posts is a horrible way of moderating. Especially when said moderator isnt consequent and just deletes random post that are off topic and not all off them.

    Last 3 ages have been decided by farming out.... may as well see if 4th in a row is too.

    The mechanics are what they are and that can't change. They're to heavily favored towards no action and dragging feet. Don't act like BB didn't prepare to do just that. The 30% GS, Resilient, 14+ epa, 4 dspa strategy is the evidence to that.

    You had, and still have, no intentions to fight us, and we're prepared to, imo, abuse the current mechanics in order to solidify a almost free (or possibly even up acres) cf, because that's how the game works.

    And yes, BB claimed abuse of mechanics when Emeriti did a similar (although we NEVER went into a fight completely unprepared to fight) situation last age where we secured a cf at a very low cost. However, admins saw that as "abuse" (I believe the called it incorrectly implemented mechanics) and supposedly fixed it this age (we all know it isn't actually fixed)

    But then again we know what happens when the larger, more prepared KD refuses to take action and what it costs them. The difference is we didn't hide behind crappy mechanics and we were never in a position where we couldn't really fight back.

    But warring is not the only way to win right? Both of our intention is to win. We selected a particular way and you did yours.

    If a 3rd party comes and explores up and wins then are you showing that this is cos of us?

    The mechanics are same for everyone, no1, no10 or no100 kd. You just need to know how to deal with them or how to use them.

    I know exactly how to abuse them. Use them. Whatever you want to call it.

    Listen, I get it. There is bad blood between the 2 KDs. But you're kidding yourself by saying your intention is to win.

    Just come out and say "Our intention is to f*** Emeriti". It's not a secret. If you can't win, stop the other guy from winning.

    Memster, you know I love you and all, but get real. Of course people use mechanics to their advantage. That is also what Emeriti has always done. Stop trying to make it into a question of virtue. Emeriti could have hit into us and used mechanics to their advantage to. Stop acting like Emeriti had nothing to gain by opening properly. On top of which, you have had what... 5 weeks uninterrupted pumping? And you can't open? GTFO with this bull**** Mem

    Don't be a goose! We are pursuing the only winning play we can make. Emeriti did not take up that gambit, so the risk is that we both lose. Only one with something to lose by sitting around (potentially) is Emeriti, and only if Sparta does something about it.

    "We are 20% larger and have had 5 weeks of uninterrupted pumping but we can't open on a kingdom that only just emerged from war with less than half our gold stocks"

    That is your argument.

    Pathetic.
