Re: F A T
when will people start worrying about asc? when all their top planets are immune to covops and scans?
When they are 1 by far? when all our own scanners have been SKed to death to prevent anyone scanning asc?
round over already I d guess. Smart move, but kinda ruins the game for the last 1k playing the game. -again-
well done asc. again.

Just because this was such a terrible attempt at propaganda we're going to wave your planet to death over the next four nights. Enjoy!

Re: F A T
well, i suppose we all have our ways of avoiding incoming.
it's alright though, do not fret. we won't actually win unfortunately, we've got too many planets cov opping/sking/pissing around to gain all that much score; otherwise yes, the universe would have something to stop. this is a shame to admit because it's YET another round we're wasting away from #1 rank and it infuriates me.
this isn't to say we don't have our fair share of well sized planets and that we won't play a part in shaping the outcome of the round however. but i suppose that was likely obvious.
edit: i just noticed wishmaster's alliance has 5k more roids than any other alliance right now, nice timing for this post indeed!

Re: F A T
as always, if alliance X has proven to have the best players before and look like they may be in a position to take the round, why don't you guys do something about it?
(that said, I'm quite clueless about this round)

Re: F A T
There is not much we can do about it at this stage, nor is anyone willing to do anything about it. How to wage war against an alliance u cant scan?
When / if anyone decide to go at them, it will probably be too late and they have grown big and fat. People loosing ranks on missions without jgps wont be too popular.
U might be right though jer, that u guys aint enough doing it properly. And that there will be too many in ur tag which wont add enough score. The round might be too short for you to take it. Time will tell.
You will win the round though, and so will 3:5 as gal.
Valid tactics, just hate it that the game mechanics allow it.
Its no attempt at propagande, this is the situation as I see it.
We will see end of round, where I ll revive this thread with an "I told u so" post. I ll not revive it if I m mistaken ofc

I might be a retard, but there is not much I can do about it as a peon without scanners able to jgp them or AU them.
nice flame attempt though, and a nice personal dig.

Re: F A T
Wish is actually right, but I understand the asc attempts to deflect the argument. I suppose something will be done about it by those in command, if not then pa really lost spine.

I see our distorters are having an affect outside the confines of the game as well. Seriously though wishmaster right now it's your alliance which is winning. You have a) more roids b) more value c) more score and d) mine more from the roids that you do have. We definitely have a shot at winning, every one of the top six alliances does right now (I'd probably discount insomnia at this point) but to state that the round has been won by the sixth ranked alliance after 500 ticks is nothing short of absurd and, given that I credit you with more intelligence than to actually believe this, I'm assuming it's some sort of dire propaganda attempt.

Why you are wrong, and you know it.
Asc consists of mainly big dist dict. terrans.
All gone for mass dist.
Slow starts.
We all know from now on and inn is the best time for dist terrans.
We all know u will close the gap, and eventually make one, the other way.
Also, we know that the other 5 alliances will be too afraid to hit asc, and fight for 2nd place.
If u want to place it as propagande, do so.
I place ur reply as propaganda, though I just might credit u with too much inteligence

Actually only about 25% of the alliance are disting terrans. But do continue. This magical romp in a far away land of make believe is quite entertaining. Do tell me, are there pixies there?

Wishmaster complaining about support planets? Man the only way you could be more hypocritical would be if you complained about planet-napping for ages and then bped with the most notorious planet-napper in the game or something crazy like that

hehe, I see ur point, I do however not have any pnaps
And again, I complained at alliances allowing players who pnaps into their ranks, not about others BPing with others who bp. there is a difference here
And no, I dont complain about support planets. I complain about the game mechanics. I even specified in my post that the supoprt planets were INTAG to prevent getting some weird post like this in responce to it. When I never once complained about supoprt planets....
I am only pointing out that yes, we have terran amp dict.
And that doesnt help when its so easy to SK a scanner, and SOO much harder to SK a dist hoe.
agree?

Since I've had to read this thread I might as well give my two pennies on the situation too.
I hope wishmaster dies (in pa ofc, just a serious health issue in real life will suffice) for bping with elviz. If Ascendancy have to be the ones to make my wishes come true, then so be it

I m not blaming asc, I m just pointing out the obvious.
If / when asc add their out of tag they are #1. Or just slightly behind.
In 2 weeks round is over cause we cant scan them. Smart yes.
Fun, yes for them
I ve never been very clever BA!

Re: F A T
good points wish, u are 1 of few ppl who see it.
those that think ascendancy is just being annoying with covops, unscannable.and wont have chance to win think again. at this point they have biggest chance to win, since they are real strong in attacking and hard to hit them while distwhoring.
they have best players/team in this game, (atlesat 70ppl) amd u will see this gonna happen while the rest will fight for #2.
then again how can u ever think that some alliance will stand up and do the thing that never happens in pa, give a good fight.
congrats asc

In the interest of full disclosure*:
#ascendancy has 90 access records. One of these is Munin (our IRC bot), and at least 17 of these are people that don't play PA anymore, or just aren't playing this round. I say at least, because I only listed the people that I know don't have planets. Many of these people are still active or at least present in our private channel.
That leaves 72 people that probably have planets. I think about half a dozen of these are in other alliances**. In standard alliance vernacular these people, along with the other 17 or so who don't play, are known as "security risks". In Ascendancy, we don't take PA seriously in that way***.
So at least 70 is a question of definition. How much "support" we get from the remaining dozen is probably very low, but I don't doubt we have a planet or 3 that would have qualified for support under the old rules. Some guys (hello Cochese) run "do-nothing" planets. Under the old rules we would have had to keep these people out of our tag, because at the beginning of the round they represented a risk ("I will play, but don't know how active"). Under the new rules we can put whoever we want into the tag without fear of accidentally putting the least active people in instead of the "supporting" people.
As for what strategies and tactics we're using this round, you'll have to ask someone else, I've stopped paying much attention to what we actually do ingame. As such, I'm pretty much just a support planet.
* I happen to think any member of any alliance that has ever denied having more members than the limit is an idiot, asshole and generally reprehensible. I'm doing this in the vague hope that someone in the future will follow my example. I'm also doing this in the vague hope that PAteam^Wthe multihunters will see that there is an advantage to not stigmatizing alliances with over the limit of members.
** And playing actively for their other alliance. We don't care. We let them hang out in our private channel anyway. These people are cool, they don't play both sides. They know to separate socializing with us from playing the game with others. These are not the people who run .tv and that sort of stuff for us.
*** Frankly I'm well tired of the false "care"/"don't care" dichotomies. The way I see it, we spend our caring playing the game and don't worry about it like it's serious business. Not worrying about PA like it's serious business is a cultural thing that makes it easier to trust all our security risks. I'm sure counter-examples to this can be found and thankfully I don't care, so you need not bother posting for my benefit.

Re: F A T
See, the annoying thing about disting is that you have slow research. When my BP did it last round, we never really had a shot at winning. Not because we got waved so much (Benneh and me combined lost less than 150 roids, and the only reason JBG and qebab lost more was because they were in the wrong alliance and on DnD, respectively), not because we didn't try hard enough, but simply because it takes forever to get going, and when you do you're still lagging behind. We had no FCs, we had no core mining, we were always behind on HCT when compared to other top100 planets.
To illustrate, at one point in the round, Benneh had 3.5k roids (of which he could mine 3k), and Winy, a galmate of ours, had 1.5k. Despite this, the galmate had about the same income as Benneh had.

Re: F A T
From a CT viewpoint, for once its not going to be us that have to pull the fingers out and organise stuff. How about the heroic winners of last round NewDawn? Or the #1 alliance at the moment Urwins?

For once? So when DID you "pull out your fingers"? Please, correct me if I'm wrong but from an Asc point of view, CT has never made any major decisions, EVER.
