Gratz Balo, there was never gonna be any other outcome, ems dont know how to war, you do, infact this is just another proof on how they can only win something if they sit all age and manipulate numbers.

A 12 day war between top kingdoms, and the thread only reached 11 pages?! What's happening to these forums?
well clear picture of it was no acident you beat em to crown last age, you are infact the better kingdom (as proven last age also) gratz, i bet we soon get a post from don pro pro that he dident play.
Infact all leadership is on vm this age and they are taking it slow,.
T/M ops are insanely strong this age.Quote:

Congrats to Barcoloco and GG Bin Bin for the strong fight!
Not sure I've ever seen a result as impressive. Right OOW fighting a pumped #1 kd as good as emeriti. Looks like a great fight by both, just dwarf is better than human, but the prep advantage made it close. Em probably needed to sprinkle in some masses early when they could.
/me giggles
Flogger said sprinkle..... like he is a Trump party attendee.
Looks like they both lost this one from Munk charts.
12 days of war with Emeriti gaining only 9.5k acres and Barcoloco gaining only 4k acres. As a comparison, Mango gained 50k during that period.
Emeriti has what 25-30k pool? Puts them at 90+k if they can pump those acres. Wouldn't be surprised if they went for b2b or initiate a kd like 2:2 where they can use their size advantage on their big provs to win and be able to dodge bigger kds.
I mean, based on the absalom code, all pandas has to do is not retal for 12 hours an then emeriti isn't hostile.Quote:

Meep, technically that was the anti-absalom code.
Bull**** ASF! How many time you gonna manipulate people with that ****. You waved my kd and said no hits in 12 hours so no hostile...you should be ashamed of yourself.
IF they are both left alone un taxed, able to blow all their pool after they rewhore their bottom end to 1500 acres my guess puts them at 105 and 95k acres. Neither are THAT massively behind in acres, just really wpa/gc....and horribly out positioned.Quote:

But thats not true, thats what Absalom used to justify double hostiling AMA.Quote:

Havok waving AMA was quite a unique situation with many other factors as you know (including Havoc having noticed you before you initiated hostile on sanc and sanc being way below declare range and sanc offering a free wave for cf and pretty much any cf deal Elit wanted, and Elit stating he would not cf Sanc until eoa unless Havoc also gave a long cf.)
So what you are saying is Absalom talks a lot but when push comes to show they were no better than anyone else.Quote:

goodz, you memory slipping ya. YEa, but you always talk so much crap about how Absalom held to a higher code of honor how Absalom was great and never did anything shady how Absalom etc and then it Absalom is just as bad as everyone else.Quote:

Palem, Can you please create another thread for Korp & asf to talk about something that happened 50 million ages back?
its kinda pointless talking pool no ?, i mean with the heavy taxing ems is knowen for, one of the top kingdoms or more sitting out there now must be ready to collect, dont see anyone let ems get a free explore, i mean karma and payback is a biiiiiiiiiiiach
Gussing between 25%-40% tax seems fair with erms history in mind ?
bum bum bum.

Why do we need a forum section for which the sole purpose is trolling?Quote:

Moderation in those places was strictly to remove unlawful, pornographic or personal information or things that were so bad they just could not be left (like video of people being beheaded or such). Prominently labeled "Do not brows this forum if you are offended by anything". Mods then ruled the rest of the fora with an iron fist and mostly let whatever go in that section.
I don't think that works well for utopia, but that is what happened in other online games/communities I have been a part of.
So I ran into a guy that had a job I never knew existed: military historian, in the military. - look it up :D
To brass tacks, the stuff that happened 50 million ages ago is relevant, at least in some form. No offense to Judge, as I agree, it'd be cool to have a separate thread for such disputes. It'd be funny seeing the big breathy posts suddenly get moved to "the pit" that in all actuality might have historic value.
Yeah, Goodz, oops. I was half asleep when I made that post. I don't talk that much crap about it actually, mostly only respond to others talking crap (often false crap) about Abs. If you generalize, to a large extent Absalom pulled the same crap as everyone else, however if you get specific, Absalom did not do all of the same crap as some others did. For example, Absalom never scripted multies across the server and used them to inter and intra perma kill monarchs and kingdom members in other kingdoms (aka Mansoor.) Absalom had policies against stuff like crosslogging and while it wasn't completely prevented in all kingdoms, there is still a difference in extent that it was done compared to in other alliances that openly promoted and encouraged it. I don't try and claim Absalom as an alliance and certainly not all kingdoms and players in Absalom were by any means perfect, only that we at least did make efforts in Alliance leadership to play honorably while some others that were "anti-abs" embraced the black hat role.Quote:

And the fool gave me five pennies for them,
And five is more than four!
And then I went and showed my dad,
And he got red in the cheeks
And closed his eyes and shook his head --
Too proud of me to speak!
It still is and I'm still a part of it. You assume that the "Kingdom" of Sparta is limited to one loc. It is not, it's a movement, a religion, a feeling, much more than a feeling really.Quote:
