Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

Looking at rankings page, #2 spot is wide open. does anyone have a take on who is going to grasp it? looking at it i dont fancy Omens chances. Insomnia seem to be growing quite rapidly and not sure but i think NewDawn just took a nasty hit.

Please keep slander to yourselves, it isnt wanted on this post.

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

Tbh Omen is the best alliance, this round, after 1up. Only reason ND is/was gaining on Omen is because Omen received a heavy beating from 1up.

I hope Insomnia finishes strong though.

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

I agree with Kj :o


The real question is: what will ND do when Insomnia pass them?

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

lol, how speculative. Let's not draw any hasty conclusions, - and more importantly, lets not encourage NewDawn to mass-attack Insomnia :>

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

Yeah, god knows a bit of serious competition isn't what this round needs! Let's just roid 300 roid planets to victory!

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

that would be fun would it not

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

According to my gal status that seems to be a winning formula for Angels ;)

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

I have 180 roids. This morning I received 16k zik fi incs from a planet three times my value. Of course I'm much too important to bother organising defence for someone with a planet as bad as mine. However a well-meaning gal mate, guessing co, sent some revs as defence. My attacker, presumably without bothering to unit scan my defender, recalls. Worst use of a fleet slot ever.

Possible replies could be:

- The funny self mocking reply: "We do our best, mazz"
- The funny self mocking + interactive reply: "Any tips on other 300 roids planets we could bash?"
- The funny but denying reply: "Your galstatus must play tricks on you"
- The funny and misterious reply: "The round ain't over yet, mazz"
- The "this wasn't funny" reply: "stfu mazz, stop posting such crap"
- The funny & ashamed reply: "Damn, you caught us"

P.S. thx furball for providing more examples to self mock

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

- The ashamed reply: "Damn, you caught us"

The honest reply - "Christ knows where our members are sending their fleets these days."

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

The Scooby-Doo reply: "Damn, I'd have got away with it too if it wasn't for you pesky kids"

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

The German Reply - "Quiet you or we'll invade Poland!"

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

These days ???? :D

The secret reply - "SSStttttt mazz it's all part of the plan, those are very hostile planets needing to be attacked"

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

Do what I do, pray someone bigger than you attacks you, then retal him with your own fleet, and gain more score and your own roids + his back :p

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

And that's supposed to be a new concept ? :D

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

No. TGVs new policy is to never planet scan big, res hoarding ziks prior to landing ;)

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

Winners will be those who get most fun out of this round :)

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

im the winner \o/

ive had a blast :D

nah i think its been a good few fights among the universe, even seeing F-Crew get their first taste of a war. been a good round for all i think :)

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

HEY !

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

vinner of r17 is jolt looser of r18 is suprise .... jolt :)

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

w00t?

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

It was an open goal, wasn't it? :)

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

^^ bwahah ^^

But anyways.

This round was fun, tbh. From Omen's perspective, eventho we are unlikely to achieve our goals this round, w had fun battles, sleepless nights (not me tho, i always get my sleep. They could call me for days ;p) and people happy about their BR's and roids capped, aswell as whining about similar but reversed BRs and roids lost. THere has been great defences and well planned attacks on every side. There has been newbed defences and failed raids aswell as brilliant defences and simply unstoppable attacks. Yes, all in all, round was quite boring, but as any other, it had its moments.

Cudos to 1up for brilliantly estimating possibilities of political situations and picking up plan of action that would work the best in it. Noone is able to catch them at this time.

Eventho i just came back to PA, and really really short time ago actually got involved with politics, i enjoyed every bit of it nevertheless.

/me looks at insomnia's fat roids...

Maybe there are still things to play for this round :p

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

Really?
Why the fk am i hitting a 700 roids 1up then. BC must have ****ed up ;)

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

Since when is a 20 million score advantage "impossible" to catch, mighteh?

(or is the round ending now perhaps?)

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

You probably got the co-ords wrong - you were meant to hit his 300 roid gal mate :p

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

Let me just say i have never seen a round with so many wussies.
When 1up tagged up, they could have been stopped. Right now they can't be stopped, but that doesn't mean they should be allowed to cruise to victory like they are doing now. Shame on everyone, including my alliance, for not having balls to play this game the way it should be done. As someone else says, if you are not the #1 alliance, who gives a fiddlers fart about your rank? You all should put differences aside and start giving 1up some decent incomings.

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

When they have 100%+ more roids, enough stockpiled res for 3 million more score and a value gap of over 30 million.

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

Stop being such a pessimist. Even as we speak, the rest of the universe is NAPing to soley seek out and destroy 1up planets, fleetcatching their top 10 and roiding them to the ground.*


*I am in no way in contact with the current universe situation or the IRC channel #fleetcatch1up

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

Do you have any idea how many ships you need to fleetcatch someone with 250 mil of each resource stockpiled? I'll give you a clue, it's more than a lot :(

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

I'm sure Hirr could have done it.

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

It's just not practical with that level of stockpiled resources.

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

hirr. And hirr fleetcatches aren't so much conventional fleetcatches as universal death and destruction. Not that a bit of that would go amiss.

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

God (allah, krishna, buddha, whoever) knows i tried if u look at other posts of mine.

All i ever got in responce of trying to organize a considerable force was... OOO... stfu, Omen twat... you are rude boy, you dont play well with others.
We dont wanna be your flak....
We as insecure about Omen and if they really plotting something else (that would result in them somehow being backstabbed by Omen)
We dont like Omen, we will not stand at the same side with them
We are higher beings then your average Omen member, our superintelligence makes us unlikely candidate to POIISBLY ever be friendly with your inferior minds
Your leadership sucks and your political prowess is that of a chimp.
We would have/should have/maybe some time weer gono do something, but that what happened was a no-no, and not we are pissed off, and we are going to go sit in our corner untill the round ends

... types of responces.

So go figgure.
I m not saying Omen should have done more, ofcourse we should have.

But when the shit hit the fan, people prefered to duck, rather then do something about it. Cannot say i blame them anymore. Thanks god there always is a next round, otherwise most PA except 1up would have quit by now ;p

Dont listen to me tho. I go out on a rant sometimes =)
nothing on the top
except a bucket and a mop
/ramble

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

Now that would be a sight to see although I'm pretty sure it would be a massive score boost for 1up. I can already visualise our ziks wetting their pants* in excitement at the prospect.


*Big boy nappies.

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

I think you fail to understand the concept of a hirr fleetcatch. NOTHING survives. Trust me.

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

Deleted - Wrong thread - :(

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

In normal terms you would, of course, be correct. However elviz's stockpile is so large that it's gravitational force could crush suns. Combined with strong emp I'm not sure even 50 (non T100) planets worth of suicide fleet would come out on top. I believe the last lemming run consisted of quite a bit fewer than that.

edit: spelling

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

The thing is, he would have to spend those resources. And the next time you could hit him knowing he would not have that huge stockpile.

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

im, it COULD be done and it SHOULD be done.
But you know, and I know that it WILL NOT be done. So were wasting energy of our fingers endlessly speculating on a possible case scenario.

Could OMEN considerable amount of ships in line ? Yes, more then any other alliance except 1up atm. Would they ? also, yes. But its not only up to Omen. Someone has to go and, yes, quite literally be flak for later waves. Someone has to drain that defence that Elviz will get versus 1st 20 waves. The he will spend resourses. and only afterwards, could he possibly be bashed/caught. We are talking about ticks upon ticks upon ticks of nonstop all out lamming runs at Elviz. It might not even be worth it, other then just prooving a point that it could be done.
+ i am more then sure other alliances will just ignore it, as usual, as keep their small afairs to themselves in their strife for #2 spot.

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

It could be done but it's not as productive as many other things in the short-term or the long-term.

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

why would someone do that to such a fluffy person :(

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

my cents, Omen did good going for #1 but too much politics against them. yes when ND/insomnia both decided they arent good enough to go for #1 (lol DUH). it was pretty much decided... i mean they have both experience into serving as 1up flak, why not try it again?

just to their members: i know this "community" blabla hughug bullshit, but dont you get tired of being used like sheep each round to make your greater being 1up win? if so i would say join another alliance which can use your quality.

gj 1up on #1, who the phuck cares about any other spot?. gl insomnia/nd in achieving the best you can do.

edit: i was dissapointed about Angels performance this round, but ATLEAST in previous rounds they have tried to take on 1up/eXi. too bad you arent an example for more alliances

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

I dunno, but I bet evil ex is behind it! ;)

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

I notice how all Omen members keep trying to appeal to Insomnia/ND members to hit 1up rather than play second fiddle to 1up. It's very amusing to see that they consider it as ND/Insomnia wanting 1up to win rather than ND/Insomnia wanting Omen to not win.

The logic all such people are using is "Stop 1up winning! You have the ability, just not the balls". Maybe they ought to think of the potential logic behind saying to them "Congratulations, you wanted Omen to not win and had the balls to see to it, well played!"

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

well tbh i would like nd/ins to just die off cos if they wasnt 1up flak, you guys wasnt gonna be that cocky :)

well gj 1up you truly are the leading star how to play pa, you guys rule etc etc, wuss play works too:)

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

Errr... cocky? don't understand what we did that was cocky. We simply waded in and smacked you in the gob, it wasn't cocky, it was methodical and brutish.

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

i only attack larger planets than myselves cept 1 or 2 fun raid during the daytime

Re: Winners of R17 (1up not included)
 

That's nice, but it relates to my post how?
