BIO vs ghettocats

[flogger]

Further more you took part in mutual gc robbin with them this age, which aknowledges it as acceptable in my eyes and puts you at the same level with them, and removes any moral high grounds with which you could possibly justify doubling them.

Everything in utopia stems from one "dirty" play onto another. Then someone responds harder, then that person seeks revenge until usually people get bored and fight someone else.

I have my own set of morals, things that I think are right and things that I think aren't. You claimed "isn't that what pulse and BIO were all about, 1 on 1 FSU kingdoms" Pulse never seriously banked or tried to crown before I joined. BIO never spent as much time dicing as they did this age before fighting someone. Equating me with either of those kingdoms reputations is silly. I pretty much only was able to have a leadership role in both of those kingdoms due to leadership burnout of the existing leaders at the time I joined.

My reputation used to be I liked to get in a lot of ego fights, and fight alliance wars. When I rejoined this new sense of everything being 1 on 1 came up and is the norm now. In my opinion its boring as hell. The game isn't that diverse. There are maybe 5 good buildings, maybe 3 good thief ops and maybe 2 good spells to cast. There aren't that many combinations that inspire diversity. Get strong fearies and a race with good economy and a lotta offense and don't care about gaining acres and you'll win every war you fight vs someone who didn't pick a good race choice. We didn't pick elf rogue because we thought it was the best setup in the world. After age after age of doing the same thing over and over again, sometimes its fun to try something different that may or may not be good. Sometimes you find something that no one else does and it works awesomely and its incredible. Winning an age doing something everyone else does is fun, coming up with strategies and off the wall things is what I mostly enjoy doing, since I've already done orc/avian tact/merchant about 4 times already and gets boring.

The only fun part of the game is picking races and strategies at the start of the age. After the age warring and strategies are quite boring and repetitive in my eyes.

The fun part of the game for me is the politics, and the battle of egos. I can only assure you that the game was infinitely more fun when it was played more like the wild wild west. That requires alot of work (presumably to be in college or younger) to really play well. I've adapted and become calmer and in my eyes been relatively timid and gone along with this 1 on 1 thing, but that's not what I truly find fun whatsoever.

Every age I played from age 2 or 13 involved some sort of alliance type war action. The abs folks can confirm that I got really excited when sonata GB'd abs since that was my first true fun since rejoining. I remember fondly all the ego battles of yore, and the only memorable enjoyable wars I've had are where I won and gained a ton of acres and crowned, which was 2. The rest I either won and barely gained land and didn't crown or lost and gained acres by withdrawing. Neither of those qualified as fun.
