Dear Angels
 

Failure must seem like a dead end, but it could be a slip road onto the freeway of dreams.

Re: Dear Angels
 

Did the Angels HC go to a Chinese restaurant and forgot their fortune cookie?

Re: Dear Angels
 

Yes. Forgot their fortune cookie indeed.

Re: Dear Angels
 

Maybe someone else picked it up for them.

Re: Dear Angels
 

It was delicious.

Re: Dear Angels
 

Poor Hude. :(

Re: Dear Angels
 

"oh dear"

Re: Dear Angels
 

<3 Hude

Re: Dear Angels
 

For people like me who do not play anymore, but read these forums and like to be entertained; could anyone elaborate on what happened?

Re: Dear Angels
 

The farce is strong with this one.

Re: Dear Angels
 

ZzzzzZzzz :crymeariver:

Re: Dear Angels
 

Angels decided to open-source their intel and for a period of time anyone could access their arbiter. This resulted in some 39, the elviz, mactanzu run bg having their co-ords saved slightly differently, angels co-ords being released along with nicks. We in ascendancy would like to offer our sympathy and voice our outrage at this tragic time. Unfortunately in the pre-round pool for tick number for angels to shoot themselves in the foot it appears we were all wildly optimistic with our predictions of 700 plus odd ticks.


I personally would like to extend my sympathy to hude who I'm sure had to sit through some of the most insanely unproductive rants ever on this issue.

Re: Dear Angels
 

Ah, thanks.

PA has changed a lot :(. Fury used to say they played for their own enjoyment, not ours, but I'm quite sure Angels only plays for our enjoyment, and not their own.

Re: Dear Angels
 

yea man, all the other alliances playing pa are so damn leet! they never ****up or win a round! :]

Re: Dear Angels
 

Actually I think everyone blamed MacTanzu or elviz while I was laughing my ass off.

Re: Dear Angels
 

I decided we're alike for not giving a flyin fk.

:salute:

Re: Dear Angels
 

eX and their Intel skills amazes me

Re: Dear Angels
 

Surely you ment Angels :)

Re: Dear Angels
 

Ofc not, eX are the evil of all even when they don't play! And hook, stop missing out on all the fun and excitement and sign up :D

Re: Dear Angels
 

;)

Re: Dear Angels
 

can angels ever go into a round and not **** up in the first 200 ticks?

Re: Dear Angels
 

so what; now everyone got some Angel coords due to a mistake at tick ~140 instead at tick ~400 due to intel gathering. doesn't really change much.

funny: yes
really important: no

Re: Dear Angels
 

typical: yes.

Re: Dear Angels
 

This is what games are about.

This is not what games are about.

If I wanted really important, I'd pray for cancer.

Re: Dear Angels
 

Amsuing read.

But what i am confused about is why are people claiming Angels ****ed up? To me the exi BG which is part of angels did the **** up. And i feel sorry for Angels core members. As it appears that their coords are now all public while there 'partners' who leaked the coords in the first place are safe. Amusing to say the least.

Re: Dear Angels
 

because the bg has done fine in their respective alliances for so many rounds. but after 120 ticks of joining angels... ;)

Re: Dear Angels
 

i know; my answer wasn't directed at you or other ppl who simply laughed about that.

my post was directed at people who think that Angels ****ed their round up with this.

Re: Dear Angels
 

But they're part of Angels. This kind of thing has always been a risk with taking in wings, BGs or autonomous groups of any kind. In this case though, I'm not sure that it would be right for 'core' Angels members to throw blame around. It looks like an honest mistake rather than some kind of cunning ploy or treachery.

The problem for Angels has always been their inability to instil the level of loyalty in their ordinary members that was felt by their core members, officers and HC (or most of them, at least). Ultimately, when the shit has hit the fan for Angels, they have turned on each other, or simply given up, in a way that 1up or eXilition would not have done. This must be greatly frustrating for the core members who have worked very hard (and Angels has, over the rounds, had some very loyal and committed individual members), although it's greatly amusing for the rest of us.

Re: Dear Angels
 

I introduce to you the Angels virus.

You join the alliance Angels, and becomes completely incompetent within the first 200 ticks of a round.

Re: Dear Angels
 

elviz has had quite a few arbiter "incidents" in his career now. I hesitate to stick up for Angels but if they didn't cause the others then they may not have caused this. The fact that it's exactly like something that would happen to Angels can be put down to coincidence.

Re: Dear Angels
 

With 10 people left playing planetarion, who gives a flying fk?
Wont notice the difference between now and before.

Re: Dear Angels
 

Sometimes even sooner!

Re: Dear Angels
 

Obviously not, but it's a fantastic start.

Re: Dear Angels
 

I nearly pissed my pants here! Why aren't you Angels HC yet, Kargool? I bet you'd fit in nicely.

Re: Dear Angels
 

To the idiots drawing conclusions based on this thread trying to look funny without knowing what actually happened: (1) the ARBITER was NOT public, it was the unfinished Sandman's like public tools that hadn't been totally cleaned from old code and had something not meant to be there, (2) this has nothing to do with previous rounds.

Yes, it was a stupid mistake because noone remembered it.

Now that it has been cleared up, **** off from my pm.

Re: Dear Angels
 

Not yet. Even though, given they're not going to play the sympathy card (which I truely believe they are entitled to with their impressive track record), it's a good start to help them on their way.

Re: Dear Angels
 

Awesome. This changes everything?:confused:

The incident was a well executed counter-intel operation. Arbiter filled with bogus coords/nicks. :rolleyes:

Re: Dear Angels
 

they up to 10 ppl playing now ?

Re: Dear Angels
 

Yes, 5 of em me :(

Re: Dear Angels
 

Dident know u where that dedicated

Re: Dear Angels
 

does this really matter anyway?? after a couple of weeks all cords will be out so not a big deal

Re: Dear Angels
 

You're missing the whole "typical hilarity" point.

Re: Dear Angels
 

AD has been boring for years now and when finally something hilarious happens, it just had to be about Angels :)

Re: Dear Angels
 

No. You are all missing the typical "let's blame Angels for everything they do" point.
The only alliance who i can say has never ****ed up anything is eXi.
Even 1up got their coords leaked. They also ****ed up when Ascendancy won the round, and not them. ND made shitloads of bad decisions ending in them not winning a single round to date. VGN could have won last round, but didn't. So could have Destiny. Wolfpack blew their chance to win a round once. LCH lost against 1up so many times it's not even funny anymore. Ascendancy are a bunch of EX-TOP-PLAYERS who now have nothing better to do than sit through the round waiting for other alliances to make mistakes so they can laugh in their faces ("while you were trying we were sleeping" - ROFL).
TGV and the rest of the alliances are a joke which never have had any impact whatsoever in the last 10 rounds, yet some of their HC come here and have the nerve of making fun of alliances who PLAY to win.
Personally, i have a lot of friends in Angels, and they are MUCH better players than the avg poster.

Re: Dear Angels
 

You're pretty harsh on quite a few alliances there. 1up's failure to win Round 16, for example, was pretty much unavoidable by the time the scale of Ascendancy's lead was known. NewDawn played superb politics just to get to the positions they did, although in more recent rounds they have been weaker.

I'll also note your decision to try to offend just about every other top 10 alliance that you hadn't already mentioned, including F-Crew, ROCK, TGV, Tides of Fire, VisioN and xVx.



Go go Angels diplomacy :)

Re: Dear Angels
 

yeah, they've only had the most players in top 100 of any alliance last round, with all of top 4.

Re: Dear Angels
 

don't talk about things you don't know anything about please

Re: Dear Angels
 

2 words: XP round.

Re: Dear Angels
 

But lets be honest, most asc posters are far above average?

AM I RIGHT? <3

Re: Dear Angels
 

and r19? 7 in-tag ascendancy planets in top 100, all with strong value whilst we only had 20~ in-tag?

also my bad, didn't realise 'xp rounds' meant they weren't top.
