Let the party begin!

Great! Thank you for letting me know this will be a multi set smack down. I was really worried I was late to this party.

This sounds fun.

Hey Boltar. Do you want their contact information (oden and bonesaw) if so, let me know. I have both there emails which I get replies from at least once a year around christmas time. Let me know.

The problem is there is not enough player base to make a market completely stable period. The bots, the warring tags, and the netting tags are completely at odds. If most of the tags war than the market will act one way... If most of the tags net than the market will act another way... If we have a somewhat balanced set than the markets will act another way. Markets will do what markets do....


This is very similar to the stock market and the different thoughts. Rational market, Irrational Market, and Hybrid market...

Sorry RedX but, the harmless snake disagreed with you!

lol RedX you brought this on yourself. Your lucky most of us are to large.......

Sure and you need to add a little more net worth those pesky humanitarians need you to get a little bigger ................

Challenge accepted...

Leave me out of this drama Requiem.....

No Gerdler. Derrick will just get drunk and start babbling again.

Derrick this thread should of died on page 1... How did we get to page 6? To much talking and not enough fighting.

I thought that was a to do list?

good luck with retirement and lol @ kal

lol keep them coming. Ironically we haven't heard from xyle, ivan, or many MDers....

LOL Gerdy just over reacting!

lol those 6 tag FS's were fun. Especially with 160 turns each :P

to lazy to pull the news from earlier.

lol. Do you think that SoF Country hit the other SoF Country on purpose?

Nice. LoL that's right up there when I detagged to join SoF from Rd and MD was policing for sol. MD decided to offline BR on a Friday night and I decided to stonewall and retail their netters. A certain earther still hates me to this day for taking like 30k acres from him....

How Many Boltar? Enough to party?

*yawns

Mods can you please put jayr back in his cage. I think he has had to much fun for today...

Beerdrinker that is a very dangerous game....

lol Karnage: When was the last time the Golden Rule was really used in this game?

The Golden Rule is who ever has the biggest stick and uses it freely makes the rules.... A few particular players that don't need to be named pretty much made that a fact.

I completely agree LaF is a sleeping giant which is often under estimated. Karnage while Rival might not of been like the old Rival, it was a nice match when they merged with RD for the RD/Rival. Rival offered a lot of russian players which played at off times which matched up nicely with the RD breakers. It was a combination effort including adding the numbers needed to make those wars better. I truthfully think most of the great war machines can be sleeping giants with the right pressure put on old members. its kinda of like the fantasy football league that started back in undergrad way back in the day and still play yearly even though we just speak through texts. Its hard to get away from the commodery. Also, sol was actively recruiting people to defend against the SoF FS just like old skool. LaF recruited by reminding people to come defend the family from the outside hordes.

No its like crack and you need rehab. Someone must know a good rehab for ee...

Actually LaF and SoF have been doing it together and against each other in there own ways. Most alliances are more complicated than just one or two leaders....

Xyle decided he wanted to bring back the old tough wars were they weren't arranged... Numbers weren't always even and truthfully it could of gone anybody way. It was about getting the crew together and adding every number you could possible even if some weren't as good. Getting them to come on daily and then adapting to the enemy. Staying 1 step ahead of the enemy.

One of the toughest wars ever fault was SoF vs MD which I believe SoF won but, barely could of been anybody game for over 3 to 4 weeks when SoF and MD were both 75+. Big set no allies involved (RD/Rival was fighting sol and company). Anything over 20 seconds was a stonewall. Think that was one of the most epic brute fights ever so, mocking greatest war clans ever, honestly they could throw some punches. (There not the only one)....

Personally, I consider Xyle a really good friend in this game. We get along pretty good overall though we do have disagreements from time to time especially different chat styles but, respect because he goes for what he wants. He is a little hard headed but, ask anybody around here especially boltar ;) I don't listen well myself. Sometimes I think their are better moves but, he has to do what he thinks is best for his tag. He did get 50 players back together.

Personally I think all this animosity is just plain stupid...

LoL But, Derrick you have to also, have to take into account the size and power of the tag because you know the biggest guys do make the rules. Remember the coalition days (we can go way farther but, why) when SoF LaF RD Rival did push our way around with MD SoL and pretty much every other tag there is.... Then LaF and MD made peace under Eugene and someone in MD I believe Slash which changed the balance but, still was server war. Those were a lot bigger wars and far more damning things were done then. Being FA is not always easy and sometimes being the hardass is needed. Can't take it all personal lets just enjoy the war and see how things turn out. One thing that i haven learned playing this game is just because the sides look stagnant one minute, they could very easily change in a blink of an eye. Hell before the RD deletion that set SoF RD Rival had one heck of a force and SoF took it on the chin after wood's when the entire server went after for backing RD. This is just one instance of both the good and the bad from alliances and the baggage created over decades.

Hell personally I know I have a fan base in each and every alliance that is glad to see me and others that are not. Even in LaF I bet there is at least 20% that really dislike me their but, we fight side by side anyway.

I think we should bring it back with the added feature of diminished production based on population....

Hey Boltar you get everybody back yet?

LoL Boltar that would require Derrick to think past 2 or 3 sets.... SoF has been on the right and the wrong side of multiple conflicts depending who you ask. No Comment about all the this you cheated hear or they cheated there... Lets be realistic, most alliances look for a competitive advantage where ever they can find it. Some hate it and some love it. Either way to much drama over spilled milk...

Also, boltar much respect you have always been a good guy who we all know where stands on most issues.. To much drama in this thread over spilled milk...

Lol bro that was epic. Though remember that 3:30 am chat's we had with Rival and I was so, asleep transposed the number. Put it in the bot. Break was off about 200k early on but, we still got him in 8 seconds. Everybody yelling at me about the break and I just then noticed I typo'd the target number. Those were some epic war chats....

Sense, everybody seems to be complaining about wars and stuff, I am curious everybody favorite war earth empires memory. Would love to hear from LaFers, SoFers, SoLers, MDers... We have all fault against and with each other more times than we can count so, let's hear them.

A favorite memory was back when they had the population growth attack were all you had to do was login and play a couple turns to add 20 to 30 attacks to a war chat. Waiting to see how many attacks you could absorb before you would play turns and be unkillable. Absorbing as many breakers as possible then a major buy-up followed by playing turns. This was done extensively during those server wars of SoF RD Rival vs. SoL MD and company.....

Favorite war memory was the 4-second war chat on dragon which we had 31 hitters beginning in 2 seconds.

Come on there has to be a bunch more so, let's hear them. Xyle, Maki, Mrford, Gains, Boltar, Slash, Randy, Azn, Dragon, Akula.... and everybody else haven't mentioned.

Too much complaining and not enough fighting. Yes, the community isn't always fun, and there is a lot of griefers. There are good sets and bad sets...the community isn't getting any younger. Also, almost every individual player has a lot of baggage derived from years of playing with or against each other. Good memories and bad memories.

Me personally, I have a fault with and against almost everybody in this game at one point or another. Truthfully very few players I truly dislike though I do know I personally have quite a few fans throughout multiple alliances ;). Some deserved and some not so, much but, still there is a reason we keep coming back here for decades...

Sov you don't know the definition of netting.

RIP.

This was tried before and it failed miserably...


1) Yes there is 10 second war chats which is just part of the game. Yes we all would like to be able to stonewall more and some runs are capable and others are not but, its part of the game. This has been a fundamental issue sense the invention of high speed internet.

2) If you slow down war chats a few players like slash, dragon, and other A list stonewallers that can wall 10 second kill runs become impossible to kill.

I personally miss the revised formula that was removed because some people thought it was impossible to kill some countries where pop killed initially wasn't as much as later and every time you got FA or did a buy up, the pop formula reset requiring more hits. This was a little over powered before they added the production effects of low pop but, I feel could be tweaked to make war more interesting.

Wars have always been about speed, efficiency, and activity. Every set someone comes on complaining war hits are to fast and we get another thread talking about nerfing game fundamentals. Most of these changes do not work as intended and just create more issues.

lol that was ages ago...before they nerfed the rules.

Come on now....if your going to suicide at least do a good job at it..... This is just pathetic.

Bah humbug.

If you guys spent half the time planning that you do in trolling you guys could actually have a decent strategy.

To much trolling not enough war fighting.... PERIOD.. Stop complaining either way and suck it up...

To much drama period.... Grow up already... This is not a monthly cosmo magazine that derives from gossip and cheap thrills....
