R31 tick 450 | Current state of politics

An interesting day on sandmans today it seems with Ascendancy taking a big loss in roids as well as ROCK/F-Crew and tof/evo/dlr/nd/xvx all taking a decent rise.

From this I can only assume, every tom, dick and harry are hitting F-Crew, and Rock seem to be the undeserved victims of an Ascendancy assault. However I could be completely wrong. I take it however that alot of alliances must be hitting Ascendancy though, to see there avg size drop significantly P < 0.05

From someone who is not irc active, I'm very limited to the info I have to work with, so if someone could fill me and others, less knowledgable in, we would appreciate.

Oh right, I take it that is because they are categorised with the main Toot(asc) tag and because there planets are so awful, they were able to avoid incommings and possibly were part of the

Oh really!!

Wow, that's interesting. So because of the fact Rock and Ascendancy are napped, Rock seem to have been hit, because of this?? If so, perhaps Rock should re-think there current political situation! As they have faced a massive loss today

So who hit rock and who hit Ascendancy?

Re: R31 tick 450 | Current state of politics

To be honest we are normally too drunk or too busy taking the piss out of each other to notice defense is needed, that prob why we lost so many roids today

And the internet thinks you're cool, so a good day all round.

Politics have been interesting this round, with Asc down to #6 in average size and xVx making ground surely they'll have to switch tactics soon. Also rumours of CT hitting an ND gal last night haven't been met particularly well in the "Block-Teamup-Room" (#B-T-R obviously..) with Grog last being seen heading towards Scotland with a shovel and some lime. gm must have his kilt in a twist.

Yeah. I can see it now. We're going to change tactics and hit one of the only two alliances not actively targetting us! Maybe after that we'll kick a few top members from tag and then ban people from launching fleets for 72 ticks! I have no idea what you mean by politics are interesting. As far as I'm aware this round has consisted of us agreeing to avoid xvx pretickstart and then everyone hitting ascendancy (on and off so that some nights were heavier than others) after about a week while we napped rock after two. Oh the fluidity of this round's politics, how will anyone be able to keep up

Yeah, 525 roids lost in one day is a huge impact to an alliance. Especially when you only got 65000 left after that.

I suspect that Asc will stop galraiding soon.



PS. If anyone thought I was being sarcastic with the first part, then they deserve a cookie.

Re: R31 tick 450 | Current state of politics

Maybe you could drop some thinly veiled threats about hitting them unless they do what you think they should do. I'm sure that's bound to work!

to be honest, if the BG's manage to keep this up for what remains of the round (though i seriously doubt it) asc could have what they so much craved for - a challenge.

foolish to think that the tiny gap means anything significant unless this keeps up for the rest of the round. but keep in mind, it's asc we are talking about, so i'm curious what JBG will come up with this time to talk his way out of it

Re: R31 tick 450 | Current state of politics

Why wouldn't we want a future for PA? we enjoy playing it.
Sure, it'd be easier for a lot of us who can't be bothered this round if we had no opposition, but I think that if I ever do play another round like I did last, I'd like some sort of opposition. Otherwise it'd be boring.

You want the illusion of opposition, if it weren't for some stubborn bg's this round you'd allready have no opposition.

PS: Hows the recruitment going, heard you're still looking for more ?

As wish said, a catch is a catch. The fleet was attacking an ascendancy planet, why shouldn't we kill it? She's also been a bit of a pest to a lot of us with covops.

Where are you getting your "info" from? it's retardedly flawed. We started the round with no NAPs or "alliances". Currently we are only NAPed to rock. We haven't, at any point, had an alliance/NAP with xvx. Please stop talking rubbish, you'll end up looking like a moron.

As for our members, we currently have 126 in Munin. How many of those are playing actively playing I don't know/care but we have a fair few Lok-type planets. Nowhere near 150.

Even if we did have an alliance with xvx, why would we break it? are you really telling us that in our situation where we have half of the universe is targetting us, the way forward is to go and attack the biggest alliance that isn't hitting us? It's a wonder that Insomnia never won a round with brains like yours pulling the strings!

I'm pretty sure that no conscious effort was made to avoid xvx. For the first ~150 ticks almost everyone went solo attacking and nobody was told to avoid anyone. Our galraids were just random fat gals. I'm pretty sure we've hit at least a couple of xvx planets in them.

We're not going to deny entry to those who we think are cool just because you want them to play in your shitty alliances. You need more of a recruitment angle than "Ascendancy is full, join us!"

Re: R31 tick 450 | Current state of politics

Its pretty much like this: Ascendancy and xVx enters the round fully allied. Im guessing Asc has 150 members and xVx about 100. They dont(wont) understand how this is very bad for the round and the game. Alot of BGs and other alliances have been hitting Asc as they know if they dont the round will be over very soon. xVx I guess are the big winners here, soon taking over #1 by the looks of it. Wether Asc will end their alliance with xVx and make this an interesting round(and giving themselves a shot at #1 which I am sure is their goal) is yet uncertain.

Im also guessing Asc has sorted themselves a few naps around the universe, which is understandable.

So from a personal point of view, instead of having the two only 90 man(++++++) alliances on the same side, and the BGs/rest of the universe deciding who gets to become #1, they should split up and make two blocks.That would atleast mean each block would have a #1 contender, and it would be a fun war, rather than what it is now. There is no doubt the BGs can hold back either Asc or xVx letting the other win, as theres still so much force to be unleashed if need be. Even with Asc(in my opinion very damaging tactics) they wont be winning this round the way they are playing now.

I told JBG earlier that I dont mind Asc winning at all, but I do have a problem with them winning like they are trying to do now. xVx and Asc should simply agree to end their relations, both having a go at #1. I'm sure the game would be alot fun for everyone.

As far as im aware, you've got afew facts wrong?
Asc and xVx were not allied pre-round.
Asc and xVx were not nap'd pre-round.
Asc and xVx are not allied at the moment.
Asc and xVx are not nap'd at the moment.
Asc is currently nap'd with Rock.
xVx is currently neutral/friendly to everyone.

The current situation is that it is the BG's vs Asc. ND/CT are involved in the block but are not heavily targetting Asc like the BG's are. xVx is simply galaxy raiding and not actively targetting anymore and Asc are retal'ing/galaxy targetting whoever.


I may be completly wrong but thats what i think the current situation is?

Is it really important what the actual relations are between Asc and xVx?
As long as everyone thinks Asc and xVx won't fight vs eachother, the only option for the rest of the game is to somehow keep Asc from winning the round easily and then bashing everyone.
So Jonas his post explains pretty well what's happening.
And it is very surprising that the Asc posts here dont seem to see the point of view from the rest of the game, but simply expect everyone to play the game like them, make a 120 man ally too and play like that.

I told JBG earlier that I dont mind Asc winning at all, but I do have a problem with them winning like they are trying to do now. xVx and Asc should simply agree to end their relations, both having a go at #1. I'm sure the game would be alot fun for everyone.

Use me as a source for all you care, but you feel then that figthing Ascendancy so Ascendancy lose, making xVx that appears to be fencesitting win the round is better than Ascendancy winning?

Oh my, if this happens, I'm really gonna cry.

yes somehow i feel its better to hit asc, then let them win to fast, then use the uni as roidfarms.

if that means xvx wins in the end... then fine, it will still be better then asc winning and farming us for half the round

I said this when I talked to you but seriously, anyone wants to be on our side? Wish? Venox? Killerbee? Steinmetz? I wasn't there when people talked to xvx, which was largely a general agreement to stay friendly if the shit hit the fan, but I'd imagine it was sorted out largely because this scenario was foreseen. The universe* doesn't want a fair fight, the universe wants ascendancy to lose. Something easily seen in the current situation where people pm xvx every night asking them to join in and hit us. Woo, equal blocks for the win!


*I don't actually mean the universe obviously, it's just a phrase, for the love of god nobody reply to me pointing this out.

Re: R31 tick 450 | Current state of politics

That's a matter of semantics. There may not have been any official agreements on either side, but for the first few hundred ticks Asc and xVx stayed away from each other and quite often hit the same targets, deliberately or not. It's fairly clear now however that they're going toe to toe, and I think most people approve of this as it's making the round far more interesting.

What ND and CT are doing is anyone's guess.

Re: R31 tick 450 | Current state of politics

Not really. With regards to our recruitment - if an individual puts someone forward and ascendancy players like the cut of that person's jib, they will be recruited. That will not change. I recently recruited someone purely on the basis that the player in question had a good attitude rather than any planet ranking and so as long as she's active, she'll be a keeper. There is no logic for Ascendancy closing recruitment per se.

Regarding politics, despite the lack of any formal agreement, there seems to be some acquiescence between Ascendancy and xVx. Otherwise XvX would be hitting us in numbers. But really I'm wondering why we bothered this round. Not because it would be a straightforward win, but simply because I preferred it when it was open and we had a great run ending in last rounds heroics. But while we're motivated, I guess we're left with the current situation, which can't be changed.

Saying that the current situation cannot be changed is crap and you know it lokken. Agreements are both there to be upheld, and there to be dropped.


If this was any other situation, and Asc were lower down the rankings or whatever, you would be berateing the #1 and #2 alliances for holding an avoidance agreement...am i right?

I wasn't talking politically; I was talking in our level of motivation. I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't give a toss, as we clearly can't play up to standard as last round took a lot out of us and I think 3 rounds in a row is more than enough.

But as we're talking politics - I have no real idea who is doing what in particular detail - my view on the situation is that we should probably pick off these BG's one by one if they're much smaller. But I am catastrophically inactive this round (I've probably only sent about 10 fleets so far) so my influence on the situation is nil!

Because I don't care about people attacking us. Last round people tried that and up leaving their corpse outside the castle gates because we showed we were resilient enough to take it. Resisting mass attackers is what I expect from Ascendancy. As for recruiting above the tag limit, if we find good people who want to play for us and we want them, I'm not sure there is much we can do really.

Your mates are probably planning on doing that in a while, so they have time for a final week of farming and then giving another victory speech of HOW HARD IT REALLY WAS
