Alliances playing r16
So.....
Given that R16 (if it is 16 rather than 15.5) is almost upon us, do we have any alliances that aren't playing, merging or anything else vaguely interesting.
For our part, 1up will be playing as per usual.
Anyone else?
Confirmed playing- 1up
- LCH
- VGN
- HR
- SiN
- NewDawn
- Orbit
- ToF
- ROCK
- SaX
- F-Crew
- Subh
- G-II
Unconfirmed
Playing last round, but not this
( I took the liberty of editing this into your post for ease of viewing mazz, hope you don't mind. Just as a general "letting everyone know" I'll be using this list to update the r15 alliance overview thread for the forthcoming round about a week or two before tick start. If any alliance HC have anything specific they'd like me to add to that thread send me a private message on here with the details of what you want. Thanks. - JBG)

Honest answer is that I have no idea. I'm guessing within the next 3-4 weeks though. PA Team?

Re: R16
We were planning a minimum of 2 speedgames in january, and then signups starting. Signups should be complete and ticks starting by mid-end january. We were going to announce it sooner, but we wanted to check a couple of things first

What I'd like to know ... Is the free round gonna be a decent round or more like a prolongued havoc/speed round kinda thingy but with the usual ticks etc? Somehow, the word "free round" sounds equal as "inbetween small round cause the development for the next round aren't rdy yet" ...
Hope you know what I mean

Re: R16
It depends how people treat it, tbh. It wasn't meant to be an emty filler, it'd be lovely to get new players and for old players to return. They can see Planetarion and get used to how it is now. There are only two issues - one that it's not a full length round, and the other is that if people join, we'll be changing the game just after they join.

I have funkily edited this thread so it reads "alliances playing r16" so if everyone would like to confirm their alliance is/isn't playing r16 we can all find out and get down to the extra funky business of, well, getting down I suppose.

NewDawn have never said that we aren't playing the free round, we just probably aren't going to be taking it seriously. The last few rounds have been exhausting, I personally can't see too much incentive to fight hard again and get wtfpwned by multies.

well ofc i cant speak on behalf of 1up command, but the fact of the matter is we went into the round looking for a win, as every alliance does. We could of taken a rounds rest, but instead we added competition. If you dont take the round seriously or have any motive to play as an alliance, then whats the point playing at all?
Looking at it from a members point of view if 1up HC turned round to me and said "right we arent going for top 10, we are just having a mess around this round" then I would still feel bound to them even if i didnt agree with them.
Anyway glad ND are playing.

Re: Alliances playing r16
One can ask the same about the alliances that realistically have no chance of winning any round.
ND needs to recharge it's batteries. Hence the decision that's been made.

I agree, and argubably 1up should of rechared ones batteries, however to members who want to do well etc, what use an alliance which isnt trying. On the aspect of alliances playing who dont have a chance of doing well...well they know they cant win, where as ND can.

Any chance you can clear that comment up for me?
1up went into the round as prepared as anyone with a better chance of winning than most and as much of an equal chance of winning as the rest.
I'm not entirely sure how you're trying to compare 1up entering a round with the intent of winning with ND entering around already knowing most of thier members can't be bothered and that they have no chance.
If thats how ND want to play a round then that is, of course, entirely thier choice but I just don't see the comparison you're making.

And when did that happen? and since you got so ubber good proofs which makes you confident that you have been owned by multies why dont you report it then?
MH team tend to be more than happy to close ppl and then look at the evidence afterwards, but since your proofs are so obvious it would even be a right decision for them to do it.
Or could it be that you got owned by skills and is just bitter?

Exhausting? Your alliance is notorious for not fighting, and one of your people already admitted that you guys only fought like 1 week near the end of the round. Maybe you are referring to another game. Gotta be. "Boy all those attack fleets we sent surely wore us out."

I got the impression that The_Fish meant that the free round will be full of multies. He probably didn't mean that the last few rounds were owned by multies, just that ND has been working heavily during the time.

Which in turn is only about half as often as your posts jumping down 1ups throat and generally doing your best to discredit, mock and belittle. Obviously 1up members are the only people to ever have stated anything about eX only playing every other round.

Come on Jester, there must be something witty and sarcastic you can add to that little gem?

Well, it's quite simple, when some people aren't fighting, the rest have to fight harder. It's pretty much always the case that the people working harder are command/officers. Burnt out command/officers is no good to winning a round, or attempting to.
