Game Needs More Good kds Competing

[Palem]

How good are u willing to make it. If all the "best" players (whoever they are) in utopia asked to join TFC under your leadership would u kick weaker players to make TFC better?

If it meant my kd was going to improve, absolutely. I'd be happy to help my kicked players find new homes if they want my help.

So why say those kds need to do something different to evolve. Not everyone plays the game JUST to win a "crown", sometimes its about what acceptable level of requirements do u place on kd members to have fun.

To build a "top" kd that can compete u need like 3 things. 1. Activity 2. Desire 3. Capablility. Most "war" kds have enough of #3, and then chose to balance #1 and #2 together in a way that makes them "war" kds so they can have fun. For example looking at TFC as an outsider you guys lack capability, you simply cant compete due to race choice. Its not an insults its a choice you guys made in capability "for fun." Other "war" kds have capable leaders, but make their "for fun" choice due to activity/desire. I can easily look around and say I’ve seen ~20 kds that could "compete." probubly not win but compete in the way u want via the OP. These kds have leadership in the form of either “1 man” (flogger+support), a small council (like simians) or by mass chaos (like my kd, 15+people run our kd and only level of participation dictates your say), Yet all but 4-5 accept some slack.

Let's play a fun game and assign values to each of those 3 categories (not that I necessarily agree with them or anything, but just for arguments sake).

Since you brought them up, let's use the silly kitties. They are prolly something like
Activity: 7
Desire: 3
Capability: 9

Now, if next age, REGARDLESS of any success or failures they may have, if they would demonstrate something like the following

Activity: 8
Desire: 7
Capability: 9

How is that not an improvement?

You seem to be under the impression that there's some sort of hard cap on these things or that if you WANT to win "too much" that suddenly you're not having fun(?). You don't need to "balance" anything in terms of these three things. You should WANT to do better. You should WANT to be active. You should WANT to be skilled. It's not like, well we're REALLY good and REALLY active, so that means we're not allowed to care otherwise we're not having fun. I'm sure you didn't intend for your argument to sound that ridiculous, but it is.

it continues to amuse me that nubs confuse "desire" with ability.

Desire breeds ability.
