I agree 1000% with this...
The only ****play I see is the BS agreement between Rage and the Alphabet Contingent after the fact. PewPew is more than welcome to do whatever they like with the land they worked for..

Welcome back new absalom, the ABE....
Last age AMA had a really rewarding war with Malevolence moving them to no1 position, now when someone else gets really lucky in getting the right war it is ok to threaten them with double hostile? Mansoor did the right thing to steal the crown for our kd and quit :).
I finally read most of the opening thread. To be honest I simply see a solution where no problem exists. The diplomacy is an impressive display of etiquette and that's nice to see. This is a very sophisticated way to play house. I have no dog in the fight, but I feel like the guy who sees his old stoner friends still doing the same after years of clarity.

Although, who is Nailz? Is there another nick s/he went by, cuz that name doesnt ring a bell.
I can certainly agree that the game should be changed so that it's possible to grow into the top later in the age by warring and still have a fighting chance, change honor to make this possible since it's what ww kd's tends to gather up but whoring kingdoms does not. On the topic of cf's tho I disagree with you, they are what they are because both sides signing them typically see them as beneficial(or one side is in a position where it can't decline them), the game has always been about diplomacy and politics, this is but one aspect of that.
The difference is obvious, you intentionally influence the "race" which the kingdoms in the race are unlikely to take kindly to. If you got cornered and forced to farm out that's "good play" by the cornering kingdom and something that is part of the race. A kingdom farming out to a certain kingdom to spite others is something else entirely.
That depends on your definition of "new" kingdoms, recruit some old top kingdom player who knows at least part of how the game is played at the top and probably has a few contacts or at least knows who to talk to, that will immensely help your wuest but yes it's gonna be several ages before you can become an "equal" competitor, simply because top kingdom play is very different from ghettobashing, there is a lot more aspects of the game to consider more than just how active you can be in a limited 48h window once every week(or maybe more/less depending on your kingdom).
I dislike PewPew because of the methods you use such as the stunt you pulled last age, it should be readily apparent to any thinking individual that what you planned to do would be "abusing the quirks of the game in a manner obviously not intended", your latest ploy has significantly impacted the game for the runners up in the "race" because the climate is now significantly more hostile for them and there is less targets than there might otherwise be for them. You obviously hate AMA for somewhat understandable reasons(altho I think you're the ones that started the downward spiral last age) and I doubt you had any thought of how your ploy would affect everybody else in the "race".
I sort of wonder how furious you would have been if your move had ended with AMA farming Rage and winning the crown because that farmout made them unassailable.
Someone else didn't get "really lucky" thats the whole issue, Malevolence tried to fight AMA and failed, thats not what happened here, PewPew simply decided to give away their acres in order to spite a certain somebody, there is no competition whatsoever involved in that. If Rage had fought and farmed PewPew while Pew had been trying their hardest to fight back then that's one thing, Rage would have fairly earned those acres, but that's obviously not what happened, if Pew wanted to stop competing they could just have done what they did a few ages ago and Reset all their provinces, or they could have intra-razed down their acres and gone ghetto bashing for the remainder of the age.
Who are you to decide what acres are "earned" the right way? Obviously we did get really lucky if one of our sworn enemies decided one Age that they hate our enemies more than they hate us and instead decide to give us massive amounts of acres, if that is not luck I dont know what is. Pew Pew can decide to do with their acres whatever they want, that's the point you and your little group of bullies is too dense to see. RBL got trapped in a BS war through no fault of its own, while also losing acres earlier in Age due to Pew Pew jumping them, they couldve taken whatever they wanted from Pew Pew and it wouldve been "fair". I love how some of you have the nerve to tell an entire KD what they can/cant do, when whatever they are doing is freely available to them as an option in the game and they are not cheating to do it. Even Bishop agrees "farming" isnt cheating, it is actually a result of the mechanics within game and the current level of diplo/trust in the community so stop making yourselves look like fools.
shut up nub. don't make me slap you with my back to back banner.
I'm nowhere near the top so who cares about me but surely all the problems with deal-breaking and whatever else the forums are full of just now is the result of making deals in the first place? This game is a war strategy game. I think of it as kinda a medieval game. Back in the day, countries and kings and leaders were backstabby little arseholes and did whatever they wanted to try to gain the most. I don't really see why this should be any different. I doubt the Romans gave all the tribes and countries of Europe 5-day notice before breaking their CF. Leaders would see an opportunity and take it. Reckon Genghis Khan promised not to province-kill? See an enemy is vulnerable, take your chance. Just man up and play properly. If someone gets you, get em back, or get your buddy to get em, or whatever. I think people should pretty much just do whatever they want to try and win. As long as the game rules are followed (no cross logging, no multi accounts, don't be a dickhead etc) then just whatever.
with the newborn unnamed alliance ABJ (AMA + BB + EJ), that leaves me wondering: what are the other growth kds going to do about it? how long will it take for them to get together?
Palem - not quite. Maybe murdering your own child. You can only break YOUR CF - you can't break someone else's. And we don't have any CF's (just to show at least that I'm not just saying something I don't agree with. I just think they're stupid. But I know people here won't generally agree with me so that's okay)
Your comparison is awful. Also to say that strategy game has no place for diplomacy, and even to evoke history as an example... Plain nonsense. History has showed us that strategy and war is all about deals. The ones that end up on the wrong side usually lose the war.
Its nice how AMA apparently dont have access to eow cf, omg conspiracy!Quote:
them so ED can jump AMA instant after 9 days war.
Im suppose to be offended by someone who plays an English speaking game, yet cant speak in coherent English lol? Im so crushed Elit... I wtfpwned you in several posts, like the one about you recruiting Proteus. Now go back and hide and be embarrassed somewhere, Im surprised you still show your face on these forums the logical and verbal spanking you receive consistently. Since you have such a hard time understanding English you probably don't understand, loads of laughs either way.
Not like what you post all time make sense...
You spend few days to flame us in forum how we will GB rage. Do you see any GB? You complained how we power play rage asking for drop land...but its end we accept all Rage terms too. So all what you post is nonsense propaganda.
Prove my point why dont you. Oh gee thanks for not GB'ing and whatever, doesnt change fact you had no right to interfere and still act like no more than Kindergarten bullies. Actually everything I have posted recently, especially concerning you has been complete truth and far from propaganda or even opinion. It is not automatically propaganda because you dont acknowledge it, sorry that is not how it works.
Should be a very interesting few weeks ahead.
Either you are trolling or you really dont understand game mechanics. I'm not sure which it is because you are known troll but also known n00b as well. I wont even use my understanding of explanation of mechanics since I am bad according to you regardless what I do but when you have a long list of names such as ASF, flogger, etc. all saying the same thing how its easy to vulture others with these mechanics after a war when the other kd is oow with full use even when you have a notice deal in place...in this sense there wasn't even a notice in place.
So when one kd gets half of core chained down and only has a few days to recover by exploring at absurd costs of x5 multiple whereas the other kd initially has a fully working core that has not been chained down , gc stocks, pool use at x1 costs it's quite easy to see how you can vulture someone if you have a brain. The only reason it didnt work is because ED is an average kd and AMA a really good one. However when Rage vultures Bb, BB had no chance and when AMA vultured Rage the next age, Rage had no chance either.
If you troll at least make arguments that cant be destroyed by common sense understanding of game mechanics.
First of all why are people making fun of elit's English all the time...this is just beyond stupid. News flash, English is not his first language, it's actually hard to go and learn another language especially when you are older than 13...if anything it's impressive to learn another language and have conversational proficiency rather than something to be laughed at. How many languages do you speak aside English and at what level of proficiency? Go learn to speak a language that you aren't native to and lets see how well you do. This isnt just for you but everyone, if anything being able to speak more than one language is an asset yet bunch of morons on forums make fun of people for how they communicate in a language that they aren't native to.
Second of all how did you own elit in post about recruiting me and what did you own him on, can you link to this post as I haven't seen it.
I wouldn't have started commenting on his English if he didn't attempt to address me and sound intelligent or something trying to insult me. I could care less if I speak more than one language, not relevant to anything. If I was on some Chinese-language game I would be expected to speak Chinese, at least at the conversational level. This is even more true if one wants to attempt to insult, disrespect, etc. You probably want to have a pretty firm grasp on the language before you go try to be a text-based hero.
The part I was referring to was some posts back. Referring to this one:
"Elit we made a deal because we wasnt even out of a Real war we entered and you guys was already spinning up your PR, GB, dealbreaking machine to try to farm us with your ****play OOW. Regardless what outcome was, doesnt change the fact in the complete BS, disrepectful, and bully-like manner in which you approached our KD. A new KD that has done nothing to any of your KD's. I like Elit that you like to constantly talk **** about how bad Rage did this or that to you, yet you recruited the person responsible for all of those decisions that you hate so much. This shows the utter nonsense that you use to win at any costs and make yourself look like the game's biggest hypocrite. I am sick of hearing you act like your being fair to RBL because you are not, get over yourself. The answer to ****play and people doing BS isnt more of the same. Get real."
I mean you have claimed to be the brain-trust of Rage for the last X amount of years so how exactly does that make sense and why is he even holding a grudge or addressing Rage in that manner? It is utterly ridiculous, makes as much sense as anything else like him trying to ****play us. No action last round when dev's actually found abuse and whatever, but all of a sudden some line has been crossed when its real just not in your favor. LMAO!
You hit our Cow in hostile with SWEA around 15-20h after hostile started. Not only this but you send me this msg after it: "Here's where we're at: You want us to leave you alone? 2 more cow hits, 2 hits for each of our killers, and you don't explore above 4k until our cf expires. We can work out duration later."
Standard ABS way on deal offers. Now talk me about power play again.
There is also a huge difference between instant and sitting for 4 days pumping up as well.Quote:
There is huge difference from post war + 48/72h notice and post war with no notice at all
Look up the word "instant" bro or are you too stupid to understand that I made fun of Elits use of words? You're not bad, you're just not that good that you like to brag about :) Its certainly harder to vulture some these days rather than before, 4 days of pumping > 0 days of pumping. See, previously it was actual vulture now its "OMG THEY VULTURE US BUT WE SAT FOR FOUR DAYS PUMPING UP" :(( i realize its just a change but compare them and it looks rather silly.Quote:

Ofc someone that dont speak more than one language doesnt care. Now you are just behaving like a arrogant prick when you should feel insignificant and realize that people are from different parts of the world and has different grasp of the english language. Hes certainly smarter than you that knows more than one language :)Quote:

Can someone (Drixx?) please explain to me why PS is running his mouth in these threads and raging against AMA/BB/Jerks constantly when HE was begging people to agree to the deal.
PS, when you reach a solution that is pretty much 100% on your own terms, you can't complain about it afterwards...
Also: you making fun of other people's english? Top lewl.
Uhm except that PS obviously has influence over what solution he suggests, others have little to no influence over who ED wars. If you make a suggestion and it's accepted you can't really go around claiming that it's bull****, at least not without making a fool out of yourself.
The situations would have been similar if it was PewPew who were the ones complaining about ED running into FW's... with PewPew...
Thanks Elldallan, apparently Korp misunderstood what I asked about PS.
Just ignore PS. He went full tilt and now he cant seem to stop
What does influence have anything to do with running your mouth? OBviously people can run around screaming fake war with no actual proof (also no reports) so why cant he? Suddenly there needs to be logic to their actions? Get out of here. Then again you are one of those with a opinion about everything :)
I figured since you people were running your mouth talking about fake wars to the left and right you would know the reason why PS was running his mouth.
But I don't see how I would know. The legitimacy of wars affect me and Jerks because they affect the crown race. And I had no control/part in ED's most recent three wars. So if I comment negatively, it is as an outside observer who is potentially negatively affected.
The contrast I am making is to PS, who was directly involved in the decision reached (the EOA naps with rage and their ensuant drop from the crown race), yet has complained about it non stop. PS negotiated, got what he asked for, yet continues to whine about it in several threads like a petulant child who had no role in the outcome.
Hopefully you can see the difference.
And for the record Korp, can you link me to a post where I directly say that any of the wars this age was a "fake war"? Personally I believe that the legitimacy of wars is a spectrum. There is often no easy binary distinction between "fake war" and "real war," but rather a bunch of considerations must be taken into account to decide whether the conflict is legit or not.
Grasping after straws bro, asking for a "directly say" i just you confirming that you been of that opinion already.Quote:

While I been using "You people" i included the kingdom of EJ.
I never said I only spoke one language or even the effect being multilingual has on intelligence. Pretty much I never said or implied not one thing you claim in your post. Has your English comprehension decreased suddenly ;)
Can you not read? BEGGING? My @ss, I only tried to discuss a deal that Drixx wanted and felt was fair to you pricks. I would've warred you or responded with same BS you tried, fight fire with fire is my motto. I will always Rage against you pricks, you are some power playing, deal breaking, jealous douche bags. If you really think that deal was 100% on our terms, shows how much you delude yourself.
You havent seen me full tilt, play serious, or anything else. Dont worry you will.
Take it easy on him. He is new at this.
PS just be silent man. Drixx created this thread to let people know about the good will and agreement reached between the kingdoms, and all you have done is spoil it with whining and complaints. You are a constant embarrassment to RBL on the forums and you are counterproductive to all of Drixx's efforts.
