You were blocked against so badly that you barely even managed to finish with the #1 tag!

A rested Ascendancy, who had a block to back them up on hitting Apprime, had no problems finishing off Apprime with superior value and roids.

Regular cooperation of 1 alliance and occasional shared targeting with another does not a block make. In any case you did the exact same thing later that round when you cooperated with p3nguins and Vision.

Round 36, in which Cardinal pissed everyone off by 1) threatening to attack them if they didn't do what he wanted, 2) lying about having the participation of alliances which he didn't and 3) going into vacation mode to avoid incomings. Honestly, you couldn't have made our job easier if you'd tried.

I like this rather liberal paraphrase. Here's what was really said in round 30, though:

This is not a threat and it's a sad state of affairs that we've been backed into the corner where this is our only option. I'm not going to ask ascendancy to lie down for anyone and I'm not going to ask them to fight someone else's war. Unless things change tonight from tomorrow on we'll have our own war. Cheers and please pass this on to whoever in ND/omen you feel needs to know it.

As for round 31, I dug up this thread. I dare you to find quotes for "blocking is unfair" and "everyone are pussies".

Remember this, kids: 3 out of 5 rounds. I'll get back to this later.

Wait, wasn't it 3 out of 5 rounds earlier in the post? Are you perhaps seeking to exaggerate a little? Just like you exaggerated (some might say "lied") when you described the rounds in which you were supposedly blocked against?

What you should be allowed to do or say is irrelevant. If the community does not feel you have the right to threaten people, and you do it anyway, don't be surprised if they respond to your "bold statements" with harsh actions. In this case, they responded by roiding you into the ground. Play with fire, you're going to get burned.


By the way, personally, I can't say that I have anything against blocking against a superior opponent. If I did, I would be making game mechanical suggestions to make blocking harder. I was happy we blocked this round to take down an alliance that I felt deserved it and I don't hold a grudge against any alliance for doing the same. I find that many of the people who do speak out against blocking in principle, are generally those who are in alliances who have proven to be, shall we say, "politically unsophisticated". You are no exception.

That said, of course people (myself included) are going to be on AD if they find themselves in an unfavourable position like that. What do you expect, that people are just going to sit there and take the punishment? Blocking is part of the game as much as using any means available to make a block disband, including posting on AD.
