xVx round 31
well now, as i see on sandmans, xvx has a total of 89 members, seemingly alot after last round utter dissapointment for xvx with far lower members.
I hear xvx has taken alot of 'lith' players in, however I guess this is around +10? 15?? max players so who else have they recruited? Why do xvx look so strong and who are there military commanders this round? It's good to see an alliancr such as xvx looking so strong but I'd just like to find out a bit behind what is happening behind the scenes there. Also have xVx got plans to tackle Ascendancy(seemingly there main competition) from t72 or are they going to take a more laid back approach?? |
Re: xVx round 31
I know for a fact that xVx's recruitment jingle has been: Join xVx, Ascendancy wont attack us!

There's no agreement. I'm not going to avoid xvx unless I see something in it for me/asc, which I don't.

Re: xVx round 31
there have been friendly ties with xvx and asc last round and if i get a pm from xvx that i am attacking one of their members and if i want to pull in order for some friendlyness later on i personally most likely will
dunno what the rest of asc thinks of that. |

Re: xVx round 31
question is, would xVx step up and go toe to toe with Asc if needed?
|
Re: xVx round 31
I can't see xvx wanting to fight a war against asc and I don't think they intended to aim for #1 alliance in the first place. But there are no agreements for now, just friendly chit-chat..
|
Re: xVx round 31
so we have the #1 alliance, and the #2 alliance who are unlikely to go to war? and none of the other alliances are at the strength needed to take on asc....is the round officially now an initiating race?
|
Re: xVx round 31
Ofc not mek, after all theres a handfull og BGs around, and weakened top alliances, + no alliance willing to bring the fight to asc...
they are clearly outnumbered and need friends(xvx) atm :D |

YOU'RE IN ONE OF THOSE BGS LOOKING TO AVOID INCS AND AVOID FIGHTING ASCENDANCY AS A TOP ALLIANCE FROM THE START. YOU CAN'T START CRITICISING PEOPLE WHEN THE ****ING PROBLEM IS YOU. |
Re: xVx round 31
Foxman got told! :P
JBG once you guys have a nice value lead I think you should declare war on the entire uni, for hilarity if for nothing else. If people don't fight back you just take them to the ground :) |

Re: xVx round 31
xVx is no where near strong enough to fight Asc, just looking at the tag numbers doesnt give you an indication of strength or willpower.
xVx is only favourite for 2nd place, due to Cardi+Liths joining xVx.. It still has the same Core as previous rounds and the same members. Its not full of 90top players, The vast majority of 'top players' this round either joined Asc or went to a BG to 'play with friends'. If those players, had decided to join xVx/ND or CT the situation would be different. In short, xVx is only 2nd due to it being the only alliance (apart from Asc) who has managed to get 90 members. If you want a different perspective, If Cardi+Liths had decided to join Rock instead of xVx.. then Rock would be 2nd favourite. Its also interesting to note, that if any of the 'top' BGs decide to join CT or ND then that alliance would automatically become 2nd favourite. So if any of you in BG's decide someone needs to go to war with Asc, you could easily do it.. It just seems that none of you want to go to war with Asc, you want someone else to do it for you. I'd say, this is mainly due to if no-one war's Asc.. then all the BG's simply become farms which Asc can overpower with sheer numbers. (Note: This is just my opinion, i dont know xVx politics) |

...that's pretty much what is happening at the moment anyway :bunny: |
Re: xVx round 31
I like these BG's. I bet it's gonna be a more interesting round for all the people in them than it will be for Asc winning without having to try.

Or something like that, we have an utter retard doing politics this round. |
Re: xVx round 31
how so many people have concluded that people join BG's for an 'easy round' is beyond me given asc's recent dominance and the lack of main competitor/rival for them this round

I joined a smal group this round because I didnt have time to setup Omen again for r31 ( exam period! ) and because there were no other good alliances I thought would fight asc. Being in a BG does NOT mean we will not be a part of any fights this round, but atm I dont see a massive need to jump at any given alliance from the getgo either. If we are forced into conflict we will enter the conflict. |

And trust me, you really don't want me to get started on DLR politics and the loltrain that involved last round, guess watching first top gal, then top planet and at the last tick top average slip away when they were all 3 right there for the taking has made you even more bitter. You did nothing worth noting last round. |

Re: xVx round 31
One of the things that occurs to me about "inefficient def fleets" although it's not really a fleet issue more of a race/planet thing was the fact you'd all gone etd/xan. Nice for roiding and all but versus a decent fi/co wave (that is one including a solid fleet of cutlass) you're in trouble. You either need mass emp to 100% cover or mass fi to flak through the attackers emp and kill enough cutlass to make it a vaguely landable def.
I dunno if golan was thinking of other things as well/instead of that. Informative reading the rest of your post though! This may have been mentioned elsewhere but what were your actual goals for last round? Just to play in the way that you did, ie defend en masse when needed and attack big hostiles when it wasn't, or something more specific? |

Our one and only goal for last round was to have top avg score, but as zebra mentioned that slipped away at the last tick buy like 20k or something(i can't remember exactly but it wasn't much). |

I think the three biggest reasons why DLR played solo again last round were 1) Grog was willing to put in the effort 2) we all knew each other and have enjoyed this game together for many rounds (free from random idiots that the larger allies house) and 3) it was supposed to be the last round. Personally I have trouble separating this from our goals (reasons why we play), but generally people said 'highest average' to have something tangible to aim for. Also personally, I took this “goal” for granted/given because we are, on average, better than any other alliance out there (mostly because we have relatively less dead weight); the only top 60% of the tag counts toward the average thing kinda messed that up for us though. I would have liked to harass the top planets more (hard to justify as stated above), done some fleet catches (pointless with salvage last round), and roided elviz once we starting launching at Asc (would a massive FI/CO faked as BS wave even have worked?) – failed goals of mine. I'm kind of weird about why I play PA though, so I'll try and bug some other guys to post their thoughts on this (I'm curious too). edit: 1) I don't mean to say Grog does all the work, because that's not even close to true. So very many people contributed so very much of their time to our alliance last round, but ultimately I feel that without Grog at the helm it just wouldn't have worked. edit2: i cant believe i missed this gem from CBA earlier in the thread, thanks theodb you pnapper! :) [01:54] <theodb> DLR MADE DLR HAVE AN EASY ROUND. not the other way round as far as I'm concerned.

THANKS JESTER FOR YOUR SERIOUS AND FRANK REPLY TO MY QUESTION |
Re: xVx round 31
I'm still waiting on Marka/Sky or any xVx representative to come forward and explain in English, how they've recruited so many people and what there goals are. This thread should encourage someone from xVx to post as it's pretty obvious by the title it's going to talk about xVx..
|
Re: xVx round 31
You'll be waiting a long time if you want to get English out of Sky.
|
Re: xVx round 31
I think they personally don't give a shit about a discussion concerning their strategy, tactics or whatever. This thread probably will stay a hollow shell of speculation and assumptions. :)

They didnt do any special recruiting, they recruited the same as they always did. Its just Cardi+Liths switched over to xVx, which made xVx get stronger in the eyes of certain people, making them also more likely to join xVx (Take the prediction thread for instance, people put xVx highly.. making it easier to recruit). xVx goals are the same as always, to have fun. As far as im aware, we currently have no other goals. We certainly have no intention of solo-fighting Asc and have no plans for war at this time. Obviously things can change.. i.e. if a block forms against Asc, its impossible to know which side we would join (I guess it depends on how strong the Block is). (Note: I have no idea on xVx politics, so everything i post is just opinions.. Dont take what i post as the official xVx view. Its one advantage of not being told intel/politics, you can still post freely on the forums :p) |

you say xvx only recruited the liths(stop mentioning one persons name:P) How many liths are there? I still dont see how they got such a big jump? did some fellow Omens join them then??? and @JBG, sky knows me very well! |
Re: xVx round 31

They got the jump and influx of members, as when Cardi+Liths joined.. It brought xVx's profile up to a top-tiered alliance (at least for this round) and favourite to finish #2. That coupled with ND/CT being viewed as extremly weak (and FanG disbanding), xVx became the only option if you wanted to join a top alliance (except for Asc) if you exclude the BG's. |
Re: xVx round 31

Edit: There were about 20 liths playing last round. Or more realistically one :( |
Re: xVx round 31
There really isn't that many alliances worth joining 3 maybe.. 1 sure thing and then there's the BG's..
Basically it's going to be summer vacation round, atleast this one is short as dunno what would be the point continuing very long as winner should be quite clear around week 4 at latest, even if we'r all betting on one alliance atm. |
