Re: Rnd 29 predictions
Wow, you just made a round where CT did pretty much nothing, apart from agreeing not to attack people, sound almost like an achievement. Kudos.

Not exactly. Point been here i think which people are failing to understand if you went into the irc channel of Conspiracy or even read the recuitment thread before this round even took place regarding Conspiracy they made it clear this round was a re-building round.
Ie meaning there is no need to get involved with any wars or side with any block. You concentrate on your own problems such as defence/attacks/officer command staff etc. And all through this they are currently second place with the second roid count too and of course currently over 5 mil ahead of the alliance which was predicted to win by quite a few people in this thread alone. Personaly id see that as an accomplishment.

So, you're saying its a huge accomplishment to get 2nd roid count? and finish 2nd? when you've got involved in no wars, not been ptargetted and Nap'd the largest alliance? I'd say thats hardly an accomplishment.. as its bound to happend, actually.. shouldnt you be 1st roid count by having the least amount of hostiles out of all the alliances?

Im sorry but what?
1) Im saying its an accomplishment to be second above an alliance that was saw to be ranked top when lets face it Conspiracy as i pointed out above are using this round to sort out their own internal problems and rebuild. Hence why they are not getting involved with any wars. What would it benefit?
2) Actually, Conspiracy have been hit during the war. You cant expect a neutral alliance with second most roids not to be hit at some point (reason why conspiracy was in red yesterday)
3) They obviously are not napped to everyone due to they are gaining roids from somwhere to be that high on roids. Surely if everyone keeps claiming CT are just napping with everyone and sitting there they wouldnt be that high on roids (as they couldnt roid anyone) And of course wouldnt be second either as they wouldnt grow. Thats my logic to it anyway.
4) They anounced and made it clear which was my origonal point they would not be gunning for top spot or of course to be involved with any wars. So yes it is an accomplishment becuase they have achieved everything they set out to do. Just becuase you dont like it, doesnt make it not an achievment.

there are alot more than just one alliance in the t10 that hasnt gotten involved in this war (hi xVx!), and yet the one that wasnt even planning on playing this round for alliance rank has gotten second place while a good chunk of their members are in the t100.
this was their goal, they accomplished this goal. that is what some people call an accomplishment

Yes but we dont have xVx saying on public forums there achievements for this round as if they were something to be proud of.
And CT napping its way to 2nd place, is hardly an achievement to be proud of.

Re: Rnd 29 predictions
hmmm its a political achievement, there is no single way to play pa, while it is a war game that does not mean that an alliance that plays politics and avoids war should not necessarily do well.
indeed its one of the odd things about pa being a war game that the alliances that stay out of the war and just gal raid tend to do well in terms of gaining more roids than their competitors who are ptargeting.
so achievement? in terms of a war game perhaps not, but they did/so far are achieving their objectives, if thats all that CT wants out of the round, it may be boring but they have their achievement.

My objective for this round is ending in the top1000. Man, I am so awesome, I'll achieve my goal!

Re: Rnd 29 predictions
congrats Mz!
I tend to agree its hardly an amazing achievement...
but at least its something, I dont really know what audentes objectives were but I doubt we have achieved any of them!
certainly not the 2nd or 3rd place some in this thread were putting us at.

CT has a nap with one ally, and while the other t5 allies were to retarded to notice or do anything about their ascent to #2, they did exactly what Asc managed to do (again), and take the backdoor up to a t3 rank.
Why would an alliance that isnt playing for ally rank throw themselves into a war that wouldn't benefit them? Is that your idea of a good strategy? Maybe that's why your organization is in the bottom 4 while the competent allies actually get things done.
But hey, at least you can say you "went to war"

Re: Rnd 29 predictions
Im afraid its because CT cares, about different priorities. that this current discussion is taking place.
Its also because everyone else cares that they are so annoyed at CTs stance, the problem is they care that someone stops asc, and the the one who stops the fist alliance should be the second alliance so they think.
But even they care just as much about the different priorities that CT is just more open about and so at this point there isnt any prospect anyone will care enough about top alliance to do anything other than muttering someone should do something....

No, it's not. But it's also not an amazing achievement to get a #2 rank that way.

Re: Rnd 29 predictions
regardless of political / military methods, at the end of the day a t3 rank is a t3 rank.
i'd rather be looked down upon with some 76,000 roids than 'respected' with 51k and a shit rank

Re: Rnd 29 predictions
Again, I am not saying it's bad. I'm just saying it's not an achievement. In this context, an 'achievement' is not the noun form of the verb 'to achieve', the two are simply not equivalent. Or if it is, then my top1000 finish is an achievement on the same level as CT's #2 finish; a point I hardly think you're making.

Re: Rnd 29 predictions
It remains to be seen if we'll finish #2nd, and I really wish people would act like it's a foregone conclusion.
Like JDean (Memtok) was saying before, this round was about accomplishing our personal goals, and if we can do that then it'll have been a successful round for us - by our definitions. Anyone else's perception of our "success" is likely to be distorted by their own understandings or expectations of the word.
"ho-hum".

As such I reckon this round will be very close but I'd give it to denial over ND over ascendancy at the end.

After your run of correct predictions came to an end in round 16 you've become a useless oracle. Useless, you hear me?

Re: Rnd 29 predictions
It's not like Ascendancy went into this round with the intention/objective of winning the round. Around tick 500 Ascendancy found itself in a position where there was a chance of winning, and then suddenly things kicked into gear. Same thing happened in rounds 27 and 26 (albeit 27 wasn't successful).
The point though, is that when you find yourself in a position better than expected, most shift their goals. (The reverse is also true.) So, Conspiracy, suddenly finding themselves heading for 2nd place, surely must have seen an objective they hadn't planned on. Conspiracy, had they rallied with the other alliances in targeting Ascendancy, could have shifted their goals and expectations for the round.
Why not take this chance? This looks like a decision by a group with little ambition and self confidence.

Does anyone seriously care about any rank other than #1? What is #2? "First losers" or something?
Seriously does anyone remember 1up's ranks in rounds 13, 15 and 18? where they were most definitely second best behind eXi. They were 5th in 13 and 4th in 15, can't remember 18

You seem to be mis-reading me, i dont look down upon CT.. I just dont feel that the way you achieved #2 is really an achievement, It was just gifted to you.

i dont know what it is with you and why you aren't able to just accept that CT did work for where they are right now, and the fact that they weren't suiciding their fleets for the glory of war doesnt mean their rank was just handed down to them from the PA gods
and im not even ct! this whole argument is just for pos reps

Re: Rnd 29 predictions
A good comparison would be to Master of Orion II. Like in PA there are multiple routes to victory. You can be diplomatic and maneuver all the other races into voting you Galactic Emperor or you can visit all their star systems one by one and destroy the planets with Doomstars. Both ways get you the win, one is just "cooler" than the other.

I think you're the one ignoring whats being posted in this thread. Kenny just posted that non of CT-HC are saying its was an achievement, you've even said multiple times that CT wasnt even aiming for #1 or #2 alliance ranks.. yet you then are still trying to argue that its an achievement what CT managed to do this round, as if its something to be proud of.
You keep saying all these wonderful things about how CT worked for that position and how it is an achievement. Yet, you never say what they actually did? unless you class sitting on the fence as work.

Re: Rnd 29 predictions
THIS THREAD IS COMPLETE LOL.....
Light, fyi ct had 1 full nap coming in to this round with vgn. We couldnt be ****ed with messing with a war because we had 50 members (check sandmans someone) we tagged everything we had.
Since this was our rebuild round, we took on new people who interviewed with us. Next thing we know we have a pretty much full tag (theres plenty of inactives/shit though). However this is still a building round for us so what was the need to join the war? we needed to give members a chance to prove their worth and we were sitting in 6th place at one point i doubt anyone would say we were sitting on the fence then?
Infact.. who should be blaming who here for ct having 2nd place? vgn had the nap they couldnt stop us.. what about all the other alliances in t10? Dont give yourselves the excuse that ct was "fenced" because you lamers couldnt focus your fleets on us for more than a night, thus allowing us to gain more roids than you.
As with Asc being #1 simple facts are they were allowed to run away with it, just the same as ct is running with 2nd... If you want to give us some inc you got a week left to do it, we arent fussed one bit it will help us wittle out the members we dont want to keep for next round. All part of the training session that is r29 eh?

Re: Rnd 29 predictions
Indeed munkee, I figured if we started a ptargetting war with Denial for 2nd spot that'd at least give us something to work on.
And Light think of it this way: It was not the success of CT for taking 2nd, but instead the MONUMENTAL FAILURE OF EVERYONE ELSE who were playing for rank.
And you come back and tell me it's not hard work to stay fenced once you've covered yourself in splinters and blisters from your ankles to your armpits.

I'm not trying to make excuses for CT finishing 2nd, nor am i trying to say anyone should be blamed. All ive said is that it isnt an achievement that CT's finished 2nd as they havent been tested and have sat on the fence. By sat on the fence, i dont mean 'fenced' with every alliance.. rather they just stayed out of every war and didnt take sides.. resulting in little/no hostiles as everyone else was busy.

That is sort of the way i think of it anyway but not against CT. I dont class it as the 'success' of CT but i also dont class CT's 2nd place as the failure of any other alliance.. mainly its just due to the way the wars played out between everyone else, thus you being gifted 2nd place.
but the way you think i should be thinking of it, is to a certain degree.. the way i think of Asc's position. I think Asc's dominance is hurting the game, especially there now ruthless campaign to get as many top10/20 planets as possible (by pwning everyone else).. I also dislike how easily they played other alliances into giving the round to them. However, i dont blame Asc for anything, its not as if they should go 'easy' on people or should of done anything differently, they saw the oppurtunity to win and took it.
but i cant be one of these people who now blames alliance HC's for giving Asc the easy win, as i probably would of been one of the first who complained to Rock HC if we PTargeted Asc 2-5nights in a row gaining no roids while being pwned by there retals.

Re: Rnd 29 predictions
I find it ironic how you're depicting CT as a fencesitting alliance, yet you're trying to crown yourself the newly instated Forum Fence King of R29.

I would prefer to let you keep them, so then when we actually need to hit you, you would be shit because of them.
Masterplan for next round ftw

No one involved us or provoked us to do anything. Whilst this great "war" was erupting that you speak of CT only just had about 60 members, who we were completely unsure of. Infact i had pms myself from ND asking if we wanted to jump on to the killing bandwagon but i declined (dunno about other hc) as it was a rebuild. Infact, let me take you back 500 ticks =p
[17:40] <ReligFree> munkee you around?
[17:40] <munkee> yes
[17:41] <ReligFree> wondering if CT wanted to joint he party on Denial? Few easy roids on offer tbh on there big gals
[17:42] <munkee> not atm, we are waiting to see what they do again. Last night they hit a few of our top planets allegedly to cover some of the gal while they hit Aud
[17:42] <munkee> but seemed a bit 50/50 whether thats what they were doing
[17:42] <munkee> if it happens again tho
[17:42] <munkee> i expect we'll be there
Nothing else happened................ but if someone can re-leak the logs that denial had from our group chans again (which they only actually aquired literally 200-300 ticks later than those discussions happened) You will see we did hit a few heavy den gals simply out of principle of keeping their roids stuck at 32k (iirc). It didn't really make any of us hard downstairs so we stopped.

Last i checked, the war didnt continue for 900 ticks of this round? You make it sound as if no one had anything other to do than target eachother in to mass destruction whilst ct moved up the ranks. There were plenty of oppertunities, plenty of nights off had, plenty of times that ct were apparently "taking the piss" with our gal raiding (hello rock) and nothing was done in the form of retalliation other than 2 nights possibly?
Dont hate us because we dont crumble after 1 night of any inc that resembled any previous round for us. R29 has been a class act re-run of r27 except denial pissed off a few too many people back then and it didnt wash this round with anyone.

Thats quite amusing because funnily enough the last alliance Assassin was also part of, Jenova, also retrived the same predictions on these boards, i think its time that people realise as soon as there is a new alliance which has ANYTHING to do with Assassin, DONT PREDICT it in the top 3!!!

People also predicted you would actually finish the round within ASS... oh wait.. we know how that turned out didnt we?
Plus the fact if you bothered to use your intel Audentes wasnt even known much about regarding this round before of course it appeared on the alliance rankings (Yes some knew of it of course but many didnt due to they didnt do public recuitment) Also reminds me wasnt assman in asc the previous 2 rounds? So your word of 'ANYTHING' also amuses me as hes been in several first ranked alliances over his carrear. But anyway enough of from me back to rl.

Although you stated new lower down in your sentence you also said this before hand. so 1) Jenova wasnt my last alliance it was Asc (before they started allowing noobs in such as yourself who keeps leaking intel on them like a siv) And of course 2) You never stated in that sentence if i had to be in a high position, just that i was part of it. That could mean scanner to HC. Still proven my point your an idiot? Do us all a favour and stop posting on these boards.

Although you specifically mentioned that CBA is an idiot, you still had to ignore what he said just so you could mention you were in Ascendancy. Congratulations, you're one among hundreds.

While the boards would probably be improved by better posting, I doubt it's going to be any better when it's just you and people who agree with you. Agreement is boring, strife is fun! If you're worried about the level of discourse, perhaps you can start some sort of Alliance Discussion "how to" thread.

How did i ignore what he said when i actually replied to him? (ie you quoted what i said in responce to him.. did you even read my post?) And no this wasnt a point to make out i was in Asc. Ive been in several top alliances which i would rank better then asc over my time in PA. Did i mention them? No.
And of course finally, was i reffering to you? Dont think so. Although now your involved nice to meet you.

Re: Rnd 29 predictions
Heh, CT having a rebuild round?
Staying away from trouble, and recruit people that share that game plan sounds like a good idea.
Looking at the top5 alliances, one week ago and today it seems to me that alliances are not willing to cooporate to take down the #1 alliance cus they dont see themself there at a later stage.
So why bother with winning, when you can have a good planet ranking?
