So u like to topfeed? I advise the next grab on roadhead will result in u restarting and the rest of the server will have land farms

I haven't looked at the details. I see my guy is #3 in TNW so it wasn't a topfeed based on total NW for sure.

That said, he told me what the defenses on the guy were. I prolly wouldn't have done the grab myself, but I'm not him.

Also, if or when something pops up you can always PM me. Believe it or not, I don't always come to the boards here.

Dragon, instead of defending your team this is where you are supposed to apologize. The hidden message in Boltars post above is "apologize or offer more than attractive reps in the next 24 hrs or get tag killed."

Just trying to help you out...

Topfeeds are land based. I was 100 acres shy of 10k and ur guy now has 5.4k that's almost doubled. Even on ffa I'm sure its land based

I can retal for you Boltar xD

Im in TSO woop

You seem to misunderstand how proper FA is done. Who are you anyways? Are you the leader of Awesome? Or some other TSO tag?

I'm certainly more than willing to privately work with Boltar or any other leader to make things right if that's what is needed.

Unless you're some important leader directly involved in the issue, I recommend you keep your opinions to yourself. If you ARE an important leader directly involved in the issue, I make the same offer to you that I did Boltar. PM me and we'll discuss it.

I get what you're saying. But in FFA, there's not much sympathy for relatively undefended land getting cherry picked now and then.

If you think my guy was in the wrong, just PM me and I'm sure we can work something out. I mean, if you want to do FA on this thread, that's fine too.

Myself, I decided to not go the drama route this set. Let me know here or in PM how we can find a mutually agreeable solution.

Nevermind I guess. Your guy bounced the retal. MY guy has been told that TSO is off limits from here on out. If he grabs a TSO country again, he'll be booted.

I'd still prefer a PM discussion of future relations, but if it's common to do FA on the boards, I'm okay with that.

I get what you are saying, but in Team, there's not much sympathy for grabbing TSO War tags.

Frankly, I'm surprised that boltar gave you the benefit of a message. I would have just killed it.

ugh, I wouldnt have fluffed that retal up.

And who are you? Another TSO mouthpiece or a suckup? I'm not interested in the opinions of anyone but THE Leader directly involved in any particular issue.

I mean it's nice and all that you get the chance to puff out your chest and be Billy Badass, but all that is irrelevant if you're not THE contact, right?

And apparently it wasn't your country that got grabbed because my guy isn't dead. Thank God, Scary Man.

SHeesh.

=)
such a lovely conversation

Well, what I get out of this convo is a couple guys running their mouths about something that didn't even concern them directly.

THE guy directly involved seems to be the Big Leader and it's not like these guys are spooky scarier than the dude that I REALLY need to deal with.

I mean, I get the whole 6 Team Solidarity thing, but they just make themselves look ridiculous talking all threatening to me seeing that it's not them I will be dealing with.

Silly.

Dragon you got a big mouth for a dead chick

So I'm guessing it wasn't your country that got grabbed. Which means that you and I are done talking on this thread. That means you're just a mouthpiece butting in where you really have no business.

That's cool. Have a good day. :)

cougar would be in the same tag this set as the me. the one who got grabbed..

That's fine. But when you have multiple people running their mouth on the thread, you have no idea who you're dealing with.

Like I said. Any time there's an issue, a quick PM gets my attention. Much quicker than relying on me to see a post on the Team BB.

But if you guys do FA on the boards, I'll check here more often. Whatever it takes, dude.

I'm gonna tagkill your pansyass dragon

Alrighty then. Gonna tag kill us all by yourself. You da man.

I can also see that private diplomacy doesn't do any good. Pretty much, TSO is like RD was.

That'll work. For a while.

no we are the worse evil.. they was 1:kill we at times do 0:kill

So really, you guys just are looking to run the server in the ground?

And a bunch of pussies let you do it? Wow.

Been a while since I played Team. Things are very different.

smlandau84 has me so scared that I don't think I'll sleep tonight. Please please don't kill me smlandau84!

Been there, done it lol

Listen, I came back from the bar last night, played my turns and made a grab. When I noticed it was a TSO tag I messaged Dragon and co. and explained what happened...the drama it caused is kind of funny.

It truly is amazing how dead this game has gotten basically due to "bullies" running these servers, I mean for real 118 countries in TS and the majority are run by TSO tag/sub tags.

If I were a game admin I would be pissed that these idiots are ruining their game.

Farm me, Kill me do whatever - it was a mistake to top feed even though I was ranked higher, with more def/off troops then the player I grabbed...if you guys wonna run fat countries with no defense then threaten to kill anyone who grabs you going forward - I won't waste my time on TS anymore. It would be different if I was running an all jetter to top feed or if I double tapped...anyways I can go on but I really don't care...

I put up with fluff from RD last time OG played Team. I'm not dancing around bullies anymore. I'll just pull the plug on Team.

It's that whole "die on your feet, live on your knees" thing. I'm not gonna kiss anyone's ass. It's not like I need this server. A friend asked me to come back and play. I did.

I really don't give a flying fluff how big TSO's fluffs are or are not. If they get off on setting the server rules and are allowed to, who is to blame? Think about it.

OG will try to play this set out and most likely won't be back until or unless it's a level playing field.It's pretty much a waste of time otherwise.

I'm 51 years old. I have zero interest in "dominating a gaming server" with my big weenie. That fluff is for overcompensating idiots.

LOL - nicely said.

Aren't you glad I asked you to come play TS with me last set? lol

You guys need to be more like Monks and silently and cautiously meld into the background...

u mention all the subtags.. but. has any of the sub tags hit u at all when u was in conflict with awesome last set? or if u happen to get into a conflict with roadhead this set. do u expect them to get involved ?

I gave you 2 sets on Team. One more than you asked for. Just cause you're dead sexy. ;)

Oh. You mean being compliant candy asses? I think not buddy. That's not my style. I'm surprised that Monks is satisfied livig off the scraps that Mighty TSO tosses them.

That don't make you look real good, my friend.

I give you enough respect to assume that each TSO subtag is on its own but your people sure do run their sucks like that's not the case.

There's really no point in escalating things on this thread. I didn't mean for that to happen.

You TSO guys can make all the threats you want and talk all the fluff you like here. The only thing I'll respond to is PM's from here on out.

It's all fun and stuff to talk some fluff but we're past the fun point.

I'll just say 2 things.

roadhead and bknarrow are the 2 tso tags you really don't want to mess with. neither one needs help of any kind.

had someone from TSO done this to you, I'd be trying to make it right.

When a server gets to the point that a simple retal doesn't define who you "don't want to mess with", then it's a server probably not worth playing.

I get it. I really do. But I have PM's from people in the know who basically say that the only solution is to just not hit ay TSO tag and that TSO doesn't give out pacts. That ain't ever gonna fluffin' work, bud.

server seems to work fine for monks/dbd/etft and anyone else netting.. they dont touch tso and tso doesnt typically touch them.. and if we do.. i give extra retals or 100% L:L

So it's dont hit us and we wont hit you without formal pacts?

I'm gonna tag kill u dragon, u my fluff now

No pacts has worked quite well for the last 13 months prior to this set. We don't even have a posted retal policy, but it's generally 1:1 (2:kill is very common, otherwise it's L:L or escalating depending on the returns with death assured at 3) unless the offender was a fluff. The threshold we generally use for a fluff grab is 100% prior to the grab itself. I think that is very lenient looking at most retal policies where the topfeed threshold is 25%.

As far as just leaving us alone, we don't mind getting grabbed. As long as it's not the extreme difference in land between #4 and #17. Might has made right on team since the very first set, but even with that might I've tried to do things fairly when possible. Hell, I've been the one arguing for single tags within TSO to be independent as much as possible.

If it wasn't for all the attitude here I'd probably just let the whole thing slide. As is...

If you will note, it isn't MY attitude that came to the thread. I'm not the author and I repeatedly nicely said, despite the fluffing IDIOTS who decided to chime in that I would discuss fair resolution to any situation involving OG.

I mean, if you expect me to lick your nut sack and beg for mercy, it ain't coming, bro. I'm all for working things out. We can do that without a bunch of chest puffing, belicose posts on TT.

Or we can continue to talk fluff on the FOrum instead of quietly working things out. It doesn't matter to me either way dude. OG prolly won't be here next set. I can be the nicest guy ever or the biggest asshole ever.

And I don't hafta have 40 countries at my disposal if I choose to be a fluff. Just sayin'.

40? My count is only 26.

You'll also note that I never mentioned what the response to a fluff grab is, as those vary from event to event.

We're also fans of the Rigor Mortis FA method ;)

Lick my nut sack dragon, it's your only way out alive

I'm done here dude. When we run afoul of each other, let's discuss it via PM or IRC. Or on the battlefield in the worst case.

Or not. I really don't care either way. This isn't the same server I played a little over a year ago and honestly, it's not one I'll play after this reset.

I fulfilled my word to a friend. Otherwise I wouldn't even be here.

Man, you are soft. Already promising to quit? Think anybody respects that?

When people try to point out that maybe you would want to tone down your style a bit, you start complaining about how you think things SHOULD be. Well guess what.... this isn't a little over a year ago, this is now.

We may be kind of jerks, but we don't go around insulting people left and right, the way you do, Mr "Billy Badass".... Nate was telling you the truth, he and boltar tend to be generous (in my eyes, TOO generous) when a TSO country makes an unreasonable grab.

If this thread is an example of you being "Nice", then I dunno what to tell you man. What I WILL tell you is all the, and I quote again, "fluffing idiots on this thread" are my friends and allies. Insult at your your own peril...

Nobody suggested that you have to beg for mercy, but perhaps you'd consider stop being such an asshole to everyone else? You've been gone from this server for a while.... instead of coming back and acting like everyone has to play the game the way YOU want them to, a reasonable person might first try and get a feel for the lay of the land on the server.

You're my fluff Dragon, beg for my forgiveness.

I think I made a 52 year old man crap his pants :/

Oops

Hey now, those scraps won us a triple crown last set.

lol you dont get to brag about triple crowns in team server. the person who wins TNW automatically wins ANW when everyone is limited to 5 countries. noob

dragon, regardless if TSO has 5 tags or not its irrelevant as we dont FS tags with more then 1 tag unless its arranged that way. so calling us bullies because we have a bunch of similarly named independent tags is retarded.

not completely, for ex cross tag retaling is being "bullies" imo :-P
