Re: Mehh
This just seems totally illogical, the roids lost by big NFI's to lolwaves were consistently being made up, all this is simple lazyness.
It seems that NFI is looking to be the winner the most crushing victory won in the most ignominious way possible.

Well if the rank and file in nfi have nothing to do with this shitfest , the best reply you can give those that did it is to leave the tag before round end and deny them their precious rd win

Everyone (including NFI members) could see that NFI were winning, without putting in that much of an effort. "Following orders" might be an excuse when you have no idea what is going on, but that's not the case here. Going into vacation mode now can only be an act of either laziness or malice.
For what it's worth, I'm fairly confident most of them went into vacation mode for the former reason, with a few notable exceptions.

Kinda fun though. Especially last week.

Re: Mehh
Well yeah, it may have been very boring in the middle but its just one absurdity after another these days!
And no i don't want Appocco to forcibly bring them to their senses either, Im hoping something even madder might happen!
ND for tag win!
Londo checks in to the funny farm.

Any article that reports about history of PA rounds will likely contain this detail and point out how NFI turned into a bunch of ridiculous whiny fags (those who donīt vac prolly excluded) who probably vacced a round win they probably would have lost otherwise. (edit: highly unlikely/next to impossible though)
Actually, that will be comedy for ages. Well done NFI, now we certainly know what to think about your "skills"

Why something like this isn't automated is beyond me.
I agree though, let them rot in vacation mode, fine with me.

Thats a good point... For the NFI member/peons that arent in vac mode have now got their def pool vastly reduced and are less likely to hold their roids / planet ranks due to the actions of their selfish ally mates.
Question ... Is kenny in Vac mode?

of course he is...only planet in his galaxy in vac mode.
I feel sorry for the NFI who aren't in vac mode....however, it is quite funny how far into the depths of faggotry this round has descended

Just as you believe Digital_Zero, pointless arguing about it. OMG some NFI went on vacation that clearly means they are liars. In fact you went on about how honest Asc were but they are well known for using "features" themselves (doing it better than NFI in all honesty)

Nha Nitz you know what the fun part is. I'm ND HC. I would have voted no against any nap dropping for NFI. Even if DZ wanted it (which he didnt but lets keep that in the dark since you wont believe that part). Any vote to drop the NFI na[ would have been outvoted with a NO by two from the three main hc's. (Amon and me)
To keep things realistic. At tick 950 we secured nr 1 planet. nr 1 alliance was impossible to reach even if all the universe gangbanged on nfi all together. So we had no reason to drop nfi. Dropping NFI would only result in endangering the nr 1 planet.
I know others believe otherwise and think that a personal fight from kenny vs dz is enough for dz to drop focus away from ND but he wouldnt have.. and wouldnt be allowed too

His facts are because that's what ND members told him! Those are legit facts amirite. Why bother looking at the facts when you can just have people tell you what to think?

Maybe thats the problem, you should have been doing politics or representing your ally in that regard rather than Digital_Zero, as he was doing something very similar to VsN the round they won and ND got hit for it. I did say previously that i don't think all the ND HC would have wanted it but when the key relation between the two allies is being cryptic and then you find evidence of that person trying to find people to hit you then you have to take some form of action.

Re: Mehh
I wish Jerry Springer would make a special Planetarion episode of his show...
It would be so awesome!
I can see it now, Unimatrix and Nitz fighting on stage with buffed security guys making a half assed attempt at breaking them up.
Kenny coming on stage wearing nothing but a towell, CBA gets accused of rape (again!), ....
It would be the greatest Jerry Springer show EVER!

The dislike of allies NAPing to 2nd could be one. Not sure Osiris is in any of those channels by the way as they are doing their own thing, could be wrong though. Could someone from Osiris please comment as i'm on holiday and can't get on irc at this point in time

Basically I suffer from the same lack of experience as HC as anyone who's 'taken up the role' in the last 10-15 rounds. I've missed a lot of tricks this round, and couldn't possibly hope to have the same kind of round-long military perspective as the likes of tzu/lordn or even cardi and such ilk. I'm basically only in this for the metagame; actual gameplay interests me very little. My 'style' of HC'ing is ignorant of statistics (which don't interest me) and couldn't run a long-term war if I tried.
There are very few people who are HCs now that could have lead an alliance 20 or 30 rounds ago, and I don't claim to be one of them. What I am is very fortunate to play in a game whereby anyone truly competent has f**ked off and allowed for newschool giants like myself to step into the void and bring a different, inferior kind of gameplay to the table.
For all my weaknesses though, I have different strengths. My organisational skills are pretty hot (I'd have maybe made a good admin HC back in the day, so long as I kept out of anything more serious) and my ability to read people is also fairly strong. I have a reasonable understanding of politics too, which in the current game environment is, I feel, just as useful as knowing how to do military properly.
LordN quit after an argument with myself over a couple of things. And the decision to end the nap with newdawn obviously wouldn't have sat well with his oldschool gameplan (as he's suggested). Our 'styles' simply clashed, which is to be expected. As much as I'd have failed as an HC 20-30 rounds ago, I'm evidently competent enough to HC today. And yes, I'm fully aware that says more about how crap the game is than how good I am :P
Tzu will be able to explain all this and my/other newschool HC failings in much more detail, but atm he's keeping his mouth shut because he's worried he'd offend me if he went public with what he thought about the whole situation.
And I love him for it! <3
|
I just didn't see it worth the effort to kick you from ally and channels or actually destroy the alliance to pieces after the effort and time I spend making NFI what it was. I don't like PAX that much to remove other HC's and stick around last 3 weeks to babysitting sure crushing win when some others thought they can do better... So gave you guys your chance.
Anyways, Good HC:ing while I left you guys the keys for the win. Atleast you guys did manage to win.. I hope.
"Awesome" last 2-3 weeks. Atleast there's a lot of drama, I prefer boring and compeletely anhilating my opposition style without any drama or backstabbing accusations etc.. over this drama filled pax crap.
Tired of saying "I told you so" in pax anyways, Won't be playing a round for a year and prolly not after that either unless there's over 1k players. Last straw was this apocco move to remove vacation modes, from paying players.. I don't pay for whimsical service from pa team. Other facts is the game mechanic forced fact that you have to nap 1/3 of universe to stay as nro1 to avoid the mass gangbang due to xp:ing in the last 2 weeks. You can be twice or 10 times more active than your opponents and more skilled, but in the end.. it's about who avoids the incomings in the last 2 weeks from the gangbang. Not about invidual player skill or anything.
Back to RL again for me.

If you're good enough you'll fight your way to #1, then prevent people from xp over taking you by focusing your attacks and defence accordingly to preserve your position. With the fact that the game has been curtailed to such a short period of time, this is not exactly a titanic challenge.
Not to mention, a truly good politician will identify the rivals he wants alive at the end and go out to eliminate the best alliances from being competitive at the earliest possible opportunity. There's no problem in being behind if you've defeated your greatest rival and you are a bit behind an alliance that isn't so good. When they're #1, the pressure is on them.
Obviously, if you aren't confident in your alliance's ability at all but fancy a roiding competition, you want to NAP yourself to death, and hope for the best. In other rounds NFI could well have died a horrible death.

If you do not play politics correctly, you will be destroyed, for example Apprime. LordN was simply making a point that PA these days you have to make NAP/peaces or deals with other alliances.
