MJ and Bird are no.

MJ is the best player of all time (and prolly always will be) but he was known more for being play maker than a pure shooter. Was still an awesomeshooter too, but even in his day was never considered the best pure shooter.

I was a HUGE fan of Bird, but he was not a natural and had to work extremely hard to be as good as he was. When he was hot, sure he rivaled and could beat the best pure shooters. But definitely not for all time.

I have never seen Curry, so cant really judge.

However the best pure shooter I have ever seen, no one has ever heard of. He lived in my neighborhood was mid 20's when I was still teen, was 6' something (think 6'5") and could shoot 95% from anywhere in the paint. Sadly I did not see him play much on a full court so do not know about his outside 3 point shot much. The couple times I did, he shot well from outside too, just wasnt enough for me to to say how well. We would ask him to shoot from all over just to see how well he did and most time he would do 10/10, extending it to 20 before he might miss. Not the fastest release I have ever seen but it was quick. Even when he was guarded, often double or even triple guarded he still would make more than he missed. I did not keep count so dont know how well, best I can say is between 50 - 90%.

Scenario 2 is what resulted in STONES .. sorry think I will pass.

Scenario 3) Person A does not like the negotiated result between his tag X and tag Y, which is no surprise since clan policies have become so stagnant and most wars really dont even have a reason anymore. So person A decides to go rogue, get some revenge. Knowing in the end nothing would have changed, whether they picked scenario 1 or 2 or 3, but at least with Scenario 3 they get to feel better for short lil while until things go back to same ol' humdrum. It breaks the monotony for them plus the tag(s) they decide to suicide against.

LOL, if suiciders are causing people to leave, than they really were not that much into a so called war game to begin with. Besides I think farming untags to death is prolly bigger cause of people leaving the game than suiciders, which once again doubt they are really that much into war game.

However, I am pretty much in agreement with Sam. Suiciders are and should be a part of the game. Just because they did not get farmed THIS set, does not mean they did not get farmed to death in set prior. Or it could be result from other things as is apparent in this particular case. In theory it should keep the alliances in check to some degree, which does not seem to happen much around here, among other things. Ghost acres and Land trading just seem counter intuitive to possibly leading up to some disagreement and potential war.

You do not listen very well do you lol. Yes maybe an untagged has right to do a retal. However they did not take a retal as untag. They joined a clan than tried to take a retal, when in fact there was no retal due to that clan. That was in fact a LG and Evo had every right to make appropriate retal on Stones for that LG.

If that country had wanted to attempt a retal, it should have been done prior to switching tags. This is only partly why Stones suck, they dont even understand the basics.

Only a sissy would accept or allow to be pardoned. A real man is willing to accept consequences for their actions.

So for example, Clinton could have pardoned himself .... as the man in that family is Hillary. Hillary would never pardon herself .. or would she? She did pardon Clinton in pursuit of her own personal goal.

Very interpretative ... which is at odds with NFL's decisions.

Noisegate - NFL fined the team $20,000 - Victim: 1 team = 3 Cheat points
Injurygate - NFL fined the team $20,000 - Victim: 1 team = 2 Cheat points

NFL fined the same, both affected one team during regulation game, yet 1 add'l cheat point?

Injurygate - NFL gave no punishment - Victim: 1 team = 2 Cheat points

QB got hurt during game and was reported as being hurt but the level was seriously downgraded. After game admitted the real injury and had lied. So NFL decided not to punish. Now I can understand this site still applying cheat points on this incident, but it should not be same amount (2) as other incidents that neglected to report any injury at all and prior to the games.

But the one that made me laugh the most.
Uniformgate - NFL fined the team $25,000 - Victim: 1 team = 1 Cheat points

Ok yes they broke the rules, which is why they were fined, but I highly doubt this was cheating. More an instance of not having brought more than 1 color of top. And it most definitely did not impact the game at all lol. But this is for team (Denver) that site appears to be biased against. I have already shown just couple examples where severity of same punishment does not change amount of cheat points (only when it suits the site to do so).

Patriots on the other hand shows many instances where it does factor in severity of the cheat and does change cheat points.
IRgate - NFL took away 3rd round pick - Victim: entire league = 3 Cheat points
IRgate - NFL gave no punishment - Victim: entire league = 1 Cheat points

In fact 7 out of 11 incidents resorts in 0 Cheat points. They pretty much give this team benefit of doubt, where most other teams I looked at they NEVER give them benefit of doubt and just auto apply same max cheat points for that category.

Meh I can fully understand not reading a literature novel in your non-native tongue. Being able to read/write in another language enough to get by is one thing, reading a novel does require much more fluency in that language.

However, there are several ways to help become more fluent. By living in country that solely or mainly speaks it is one obvious way. But if you cant do that, try to put yourself in similar setting where you are forced to have to learn it. Reading a novel is actually one good way. You will not understand all the languages nuances and so will not fully appreciate and understand it all, but over time you will learn more of those, and become more fluent.

Or hitting line drive directly to short stop, rather easy to hit into double play.

I actually agree with this. Always disturbing whenever I do.

*Bogus post of the week*

Clinton who??? Trump??? Are these names supposed to mean something? Does it really even matter who runs a bullish country? I mean you even had muslim praying, minority run the country and I didnt really see much difference. So do you really think 2 power hungry mongrols will make any difference .. or just make it even worse.

I do.

Sometimes over $1mill corruption is acceptable. For example:
If you produce $13.5 mill cash per turn (in w/e you produce) and food is $38.
You can buy 355k bushels * -$3/bushel loss = -1065K
So any corruption less than that is acceptable.

Bogus post .... oh wait nvm, I already posted elsewhere. Carry on than, this is funny.

Hurry up and play some turns NOW!!!!



I want to see you mess up your whole set plans :D

I predict the set will end in little over 6 days from now. So taking that into account, I also predict just after that the set will contain initially.

1. Avg nw - Stones
2. Total nw - which ever clan tags up early
3. Most tagged - the crucial one, hmmm lets go with EVO

I always grumble and complain about clan policies here. Thanks for reminding me that this place isnt as bad as it could be. I was run out of Mars before I even started a country lol.

Math is a farce anyway. There are ALWAYS more than one possible solution / variable for addition.

It really all depends on WHAT you are adding.

It implies such only if reading and comprehension are not your thing.

He clearly states "Many" not "All" of the lower seed teams.

Also stated that now winning your conference is no longer the only way to get in, so several of those lower level seeds could also have been granted at-large bids.

Bird obviously. You got this one wrong.

Also I think you rushed your picks. Maybe if you had spent some time figuring out what that unidentifiable item was sitting on top of the letters you would have correctly picked that Middle state team.

This is nothing new, I have complained about this several times on AT and always got pretty much same reply. That it wasnt anything new.

However I fully agree with Sam_Danger, intra is much better than inter. But really any form of land trading is just lame.

except technically there are 2 Imag tags this set. So still could be the other solo country tag.

bogus ... er meant bonus.


Nah, I really meant bogus, like that is reason why .. too many jets LOL. Have no clue why but I am sure it would not be due to having too many jets.

It is a farming game better known as Farmville3

And Breeze, there is a distinction between netting and farming ... or there would be IF this really was warring game as opposed to the farming one it has become.

Xmas 2011 when WW4 server went down for few days, I was off work for holidays and extremely bored so looked for the other EE2025 clone I knew existed. Played a couple of sets, dont think either one was full set of playing. Was gone for about 3 years until I was recruited back here middle of 2014.

I feel so old seeing so many playing from school during late 90's lol. During my school days the net was fairly new.

Bird

Yep band aid. What happens when numbers drop even lower, will you increase it to running 3 countries, etc etc?

Plus I do not see where increasing from 350 countries to 700 will really change anything when they are not real people. Having only 3 people show up for WC and capable of now making a KR imho will only be tad more fun. Yes you might get the kill when prior you would not have. But a key important aspect for Alliance server is social aspect. A fun war and a fun KR is when you have several in at same time, and 3 just really isnt it. Otherwise you might as well just be playing in FFA or Solo type servers. As already said, it is a numbers game, more activity and more players make it more fun. Sure adding change might add new twist which might make it interesting for set or two if that.

For netting, this idea is even worse. I already think half the challenge is gone nowadays with all the land trading, silly clan policies, etc. But to have it so that everyone 2nd country can become a feeder would just make it even worse. That 2nd country no matter what you implement WILL be used as feeder country somehow. Even if you put in things like cant pact up with your own, any clan could simply put in round robin. Person A feeds B, whom feeds C, whom feeds A. Or I am sure tons of other ways to go about it.

That is messed up, her own daughter tried to kill her with a steak knife at work. Which means she must have purposely taken it with her for that intent, who carries a steak knife around with them.

good luck mate

that is sad news

congrats to all those that had fun and remind me never to mess with either clan *goes back to blissful tree-hugging*

Glad to know I am no longer missing much. I used to always watch Discovery.

I refuse to pay for satellite (subscription prices for non subscription networks) here. It is kinda ridiculous to expect to pay for only free networks, when I could go through hassles of watching them on-line for free.

47 huh, didnt really notice as I stopped buying well before it got that high. *Bonus post*

Arby's special sauce? Or that rotten McD special sauce? I miss Arby's special sauce :(
Sadly McD has polluted the entire world with its infestation and dont get to miss that.

1. Recent years are easy enough to find, which still shows same downward trend as that graph up to 2014.
2. As already pointed out by others, yes to show Trends. Actual amount for latest year 2014 (that I am aware of anyway) shows total of 11,208 (0.43% of all US deaths) death due to homicide via firearms, which is still same downward trend from previous years as that graph showed.
3. I highly doubt that, since stats I looked at are all coded by Dx. The absolute Max possible it could be that firearms were related to the death diagnoses would be 33,636 (1.3%) of which 2/3 were diagnosed as Suicide. I guess one could debate lot of those were set up to look like suicide but were actually gang homicides. But all of that is still irrelevant, since you would have to go back to all prior years and attribute same thing to those years as well. End result would still reflect same thing, violence is steadily decreasing along with number of deaths due to violence.
4. You are finally correct about something, no it does not include those. That is total of 516 deaths, of which 467 were due to firearms. Feel free to add those to the 11,2k amount, will not change anything since 11.7k still would be less than years prior. You have just raised it up to total of 0.45% of all deaths Yipee!!!

I am bored and I am jealous and so I think this whole war thing is just completely unfair. Hurry up OMA already, finish them off so I can stop being jelly.

you have some mighty strange ideas of "facts". Facts from whom? My guess is facts as stated by Dagga. Certainly not any verifiable facts.

Spam is still spam. Dont go trying to explain what all spam consists of, someone tried to tell me once and I REALLY do not want to know. All sounded pretty disgusting to me, I like my spam w/out knowing what all is in it thank you very much.

Musket was more powerful than a Cannon o.O

The reality is, any intelligent reasoned person will put more of their effort where the problems really lie. Sorry but 0.42% of all deaths as result to assault by firearms is just simply not big enough issue. Sad maybe, but that is not even 1/3 of deaths from cars, and only 1/5 of deaths from drugs.
Even if you include suicide deaths from firearms, 0.82%, it would still be lower than all deaths from cars. Imho that would be silly to do anyway, as I doubt not having firearm would have stopped any of those suicides.

Elders pfft. I would be ashamed. How hard could it be to kill one army.

Oh wait what was that, you killed one already so the war is done right?

Yep Spam tag. I like my spam best fried on the grill, so come on OMA why havent you fried them to death already.

Tree-hugging is no excuse either, you should have used those trees to build up the fire with first on your first strike .. DUH!!

This is common erroneous thing I have heard. I have yet to see this actually backed up by any facts though.

Malpractice is included the commonly "accident" or "accident/unintentional injuries" category. If you assume that the largest percentage of that category is due to Malpractice than yes this statement could be true. However, most I have seen while they do not break it down, do list Auto accidents (or all transportation accidents) as being well more than half of that category.

So even if you assume 40% of that amount is due to malpractice. That is still wrong. Cars alone would have killed more since it is always listed as the highest included in that category. But that would be roughly 50k, which I still think is way higher than the actual amount. But there are 40k self-inflicted deaths, most of which are prolly due to guns. Not counting all your other violence related gun deaths. So doubt malpractice is even higher cause of death than guns. Being higher than cops, prolly is only truth in that statement.

Personally think this statement would have been better:
"SOF had a 20mil nw advantage, but had disadvantage of not having Hawkster with them this time."

o.O

Seriously from what lil I have seen of it, looks to be another tough battle and both sides are definitely premier warring tags.

Yep you must officially go through application (you should see link for their application in-game to that clan) process to join clan first. It is labeled as "Clan Homepage" in-game for that particular clans application. Once you have followed that link to apply to join clan and been accepted, that clan will than give you the password to join and tag up with that clan in-game.

I can think of several reasons why 121 arent besides one listed above.

For example my own personal one would be: Laziness. I just cant be bothered to check and see if I have obtained my max missiles or not, let alone look for target to unload ones I dont want.

Yep bots would actually be deterrent for recruiting real new players ... yet I dont see that actually happening anyway.

But one never knows, maybe, just maybe if was some actual strategic challenge back in the game it might actually recruit some new players.

The real answer to OP though is Time. Times have changed.

Even in the same year it occurs at least 24 times (really 40 unofficially). For example I would bet it occurs where I live hours before it occurs where you do. noob

Damn, I lost my bet :(

I am in NA now, that is not accurate (it wasnt the last time I was in NA either). NA http://www.boxcarhosting.com/...application.php?clanID=NA

Rage has been using myclan for long time now, years. I believe they were one of first ones to start using myClan and have been using it ever since. I see you added it finally, but you still should get rid of boxcar link. GO might have access to boxcar acct still, but doubt anyone else does.

Do not know if that is current one for Omega or not.

Damn Marshal, where did you get those links from. I know at least 2 of them are not current, I would even bet 3 out 4 are not current with Evo being the only correct one.
