Further to the above, SOL, Mercs, SoF and LAF (before they folded) cut their teeth fighting each other constantly and each set ramped it up ever so slightly over the previous set.

Walling is such a huge factor and target selection ever more important. In E2025 you didn't need to study your targets so much to work out whether you could kill it. Having a ton of troops also does not stop you from dying like it used to.

People in E2025 never had to employ the tactics used today to kill wallers.

this.

times and formulas changed and over the years of ruthless long wars, and grinding out battles of attrition, some damn good warmods and strategists were formed.

target selection, particularly early in wars is so important in this version of the game with the numbers where they are. if you run into a few countries walling or kill a few countries that were not even impactful in the war, that is enough to tilt the outcome of the war by day 3 or 4 of the war.

furthermore, some of the tactics to garner those kills on the high priority targets and knowing when/how to employ them was learned over years of many lost and some won battles. a lot of the learned skills were learned just experimenting with ideas during the long drawn out wars.

Hey, none of this conspiracy theory stuff. It didn't happen because the report got closed by one of the mods before mod God got to see it. And apparently, this game doesn't store in-game messages once the report is closed?

It was also "intended game design" to not have members have access to the game database, but Total Cheater exploited that game function too.

As long as this game design promotes clans splitting off to smaller clans to exploit the design its a dead game dying faster than it was pre-clan gdi

if a clan is engaged in a war, are other clans prohibited from warring them?

for example, clan of 30 people declares on clan of 9 people to shake them down of money late in the set. but clan of 9 people don't want to give in to that jackwagonry and have 2 different clans of 9 people willing to take on that 30 clan as a group, is that possible? or is it 1 clan at a time?

Coalie - You've got a point about TC cheating, even though you're rehashing 10 year old fluff. But... you gotta let somebody else do that work. You're the pot calling the kettle black when you infiltrated a new alliance, played under a fake name, all under the guise of helping these new players fight another alliance, that just so happened to be the alliance you're been in for years and years.

Maybe let someone else call TC a cheater. You're messaging is tarnished by your own personal actions.

Challenge accepted.

“On May 2, 2012, the game administrators announced on Alliance Talk that Hanlong, with assistance from former game administrator Turtle Crawler, had gained access to the game's database, allowing the two to view all countries without requiring the turns needed for spy operations, change anything in any of the countries, and view private messages sent via the Earth forums as well as those sent in the game itself.”

^ since the current mods/devs have soft skin and don't like being called out on the forums for thier poor performance, looks at this disgraced former game dev trying to beat his chest.
TC = Total Cheater

Also, Apples is a good time. I'm doing my best to get out and slam the brookies on a fly before spawn for those sweet colors.

Quote still doesn't accuse me of cheating.

Huh? It doesn't accuse you of anything. It explicitly states that you assisted Hanlong in accessing a database he had no authority to access. That is cheating.

It doesn't say Total Cheater MAY have assisted Hanlong.
It doesn't say Hanlong, with the assistance of Total Cheater, MAY have accessed the database.

You are right, there are no accusations. It is a statement of explicit factual happenings.

Cry more.

To further ridicule TC's ridiculous claim, I think only like 10-12 people have actual beef with LaF/Gerdy. And LaF/Gerdy has made 0 effort to repair any relations with those people.

A wardog with a passion is a warleader these days, and I think any effort to smooth fluff over would have mitigated a large chunk of the war effort. No less than 80% of us were just hanging with old buddies, have no current beef with LaF, etc.

LaF leadership just always act pissed off and rude to everyone these days so smoothing fluff was impossible. Couldn't even give people in LaF leadership the ol' "hey nice to see ya" this go around without getting yelled at.

I see it how KoH who also doesn't care about warring LaF but doesn't play 1a because the meta is trash sees it. LaF leadership couldn't get along with other people and got their tag slaughtered, so instead of playing nice with others they lobbied to have the goalposts moved. T'was bad politics that got them killed, and nothing else tho.

Can confirm this. And that is probably the biggest contributor to BlackHole getting all the fluff he got. He was a visible target and we really didn't have beef with LaF just at war with them.

I'm confused by this comment. What does what Derrick said have to do with me and getting the fluff I got?

(by the way, does anyone just type the word fluff now, instead of the curse word? lol... I do)

That people didn't actually really have beef with LaF, they came back to war. You were the vocal one, so you became the target instead of what should have been LaF/LaF leadership if everybody was anti-laf like they are claiming, and ran to the Devs about to change the game. Instead of doing politics with the other players.

It means you just got caught in the middle at the wrong place and the wrong time. Not because people actually had beef with you, just that it was a matter of convenience, more or less.

That's what Derrick was saying. That people don't hate laf, but laf leadership seriously dropped the Foreign relations ball, like, didnt even try to mend fences and are now crying that the remaining players in the game are anti-laf when they arent, for the most part.

LaF was never at 2-3. They took the remainder of the reset off, or went into other clans to lazy net because they got killed after they FSd oop.

A really good lemming AB FS by the way. Must have been a syko led chat.

I bet you are one of those dumbasses that believes the "we created __x_million jobs since 2020" bullfluff politicians spew globally to retain power without comprehending that companies didn't create any new jobs, they just brought the employees back that were staying home during the government forced shutdowns.

I am confused about this "LaF was just going to be a target until run from the game" narrative. That is some serious propaganda going on inside LaF if the rank and file bootlickers STILL don't know that a 6 reset pact was already signed to prevent that from happening by the coalition and LaF prior to the last min clan gdi implementation.

The grudge war was over. It already ended and both sides pacted out for 6 resets to let things cool down.
