Congratulations Exilition

Sid's morals did stand in the way of pre-emptively blocking, and this was a major handicap for them when fighting eXilition. eXilition got the pick of allies, I'm sorry but it's true. This doesn't take away from the military ability of eXilition, which is almost unparalleled in the current era, but it would have been interesting to see eXilition vs 1up, one on one, each with no more total members than the tag limit (i.e. no bending of the rules by either alliance). I'd argue that this never really happened.

Quoted really for truth, as furball is clearly better at me in explaining without the obvious bias showing.

We didn't.

None of us did. It was the whole point of 1up. The public knew what we were and where we were coming from. It was up to them to stop us. Sometimes they did, sometimes they didn't.

67 players and Zhils.. You can't get more handicapped than that. Nuff said.

But with more pooping.

I believe mazz also felt the same way at times, but thats where the CEO part of our leadership came in.

More often than not it was I pre round who sorted politcs and getting 1up ready as Sid usually took an extended break after workign so hard through the round. I carried on his no block ethos with gusto.

It's true. I was his bitch.

Remind me what rank you were again? ;-)

<3 furball

I'm definitely drunk but I have to ask what in gods name you've done to this hideous forum skin.

Mostly because I have nothing better to do.

How saddenin it is to see how little faith you have in yourselves.

Having faith in myself wont magically spawn an army of active, dedicated PA players.

eX aren't superhumans, but if the rest of PA community think so then all hope is lost in the begin with I guess.

Working harder than the next guy at a browser game doesn't make you a superhuman, it does however give you a tangible advantage over people not working as hard at the browser game.

I therefore propose a masterplan for r24
howabout if eX declares war against every player, has it's members with a blindfold on AND starts ~ midround.
Fair enough?

I don't have any problem with eXi playing and using their advantages to win, thats the game. I've been in that position myself and stagnated rounds myself. eXi will win because of its well earned reputation, its superior organization and its members and officers willingness and ability to do the work it takes. There is really no need to be denigrating everyone else in Planetarion because you played better than them.
