by your war performances this set. Maybe people are leaving the game b/c their alliances have become terrible. Perhaps yes, many people want to net, and can't b/c their alliances are so poorly run they can't offer this protection anymore...

Anyways, my advice to the Pangs of the world is to stop blaming others and look in the mirror about why your alliances, and hence "the game" are so crappy.

Why don't you war sof next set

till then shut the fluff up from the sidelines over there ok?

Na and sof waring accomplished many things for both sides, which you don't really need to know about. Now, I like evo and everything, but when is the last time you even fought a war without help? I mean really. Laf, pdm, and na all 3 rammed headfirst into extremely war prepped allia ces this set, and with the exception of laf and sol, they were fairly friendly wars, and were pretty fun.


Who the ahit are you, to sit there on the sideline, not knowing any of the mitigating factors, having not proved yourselves in quite a while, and judge us?

I mean really

P.s. You just took a fluff on atleast 1 evo fdp, probably 2

are you really that stupid? I didn't see you calling NA a crappy alliance when we were bailing your ass out, or helping you through that 8 month span of constant war.

The way I see it, you have no say here. Unless evo smashes into a war alliance atleast the same size as them next set, you will never have any say

A) I don't play in EVO anymore, and have decided recently I don't plan on going back. I love the guys there, just not the netting.

B) I'm all about SOF and SOL getting it on next set. That said this thread isn't about SOF and SOL. They are thriving atm. This thread is about the 3 alliances I mentioned and how there problems may be more internal than they seem to want to admit on AT....

Want to know what went down with NA? Not that it's any of your buisness.


We decided a week or so into the set we were going to have to war over our new retal policy. So we started poking around. Imag was going to be our target as they were being the biggest fluffs about it, but we were land tradimg with pretty much the entire server.

Sof came to us, after we turned down a friendly, and told us that if we don't hit them in the next week, they were going to hit us, and if we hit imag, they would probably end up hitting us anyways.

We put up all the proper war prepp threads, mmrs, and a thread voting on the fs time. This was an entire week before we fsed. Now na is a pretty relaxed clan and enviroment to play on, so we did not go all Nazi on our members and decided to trust them to get ready. Clearly they didn't.

The selected fs time was a poor one, as it was sof's most active time. But it was when most of us could be online so we went for it. We fsed, and 90% of sof was online and walled, almost as if they knew our fs time. And 2 hours later they were murdering all our non war prepped countries re: no sdi. All the while, sof was the most prepped I've ever seen an alliance on ee. They did an amazing job and at the time of the fs my breakers couldn't hit their top countries because they didn't have the oil to. Another prepp problem.

In addition to this, me, the how, had a Thursday through Monday personal obligation with 0 online time. And apparently llaar became extremely ill that same weekend. This is the same weekend that boxcar went down and all of our ops were lost. Now this is alot of fluff to go through for any alliance, much less a poorly prepped netting alliance.

So we got beat down, who cares. We expected to. What did we gain?

We squashed a years long beef with sof and got respect and a pact
we got pact upgrade offers from no less than 3 clans for what we did
we got to have a little fun in fighting sof
out new members got to attempt to wall some of the best hitters in the game
the list goes on


I don't really see a negative here, other than the fact that idiots like you who can't see past the simple stats think that the war was a total failure.

So my advice to you would be to tKe that foot out of your mouth before it gets stuck in your throat.

also, just as an aside... when I talk about "the game dying" I'm not specifically talking about LaF, despite what you claim.... LaF will be fine, I know the players there and they are strong. It's the evo's and fists and tie's and lcn's and alliances like that which I worry about with this server. The ones who are playing, but there aren't the strong personalities able to take charge when things are tough or who don't have the drive to continue on. That was seen with TIE, and now somewhat with the fist.

every post that bobby makes about me shows that he never actually understands what I'm driving at.... and just wants to flame. fancy that.

That is in the case of single grabs in a 24 hour period

damn everyone refuses to read past the fine print, lol

for more than 1 grab on the same country, or by the same country, anyone can retal and it's 2:1

IMO it promotes grabbing, but denounces farming.

But this community is so change-a-phobic that they refuse to read into the police and just see the country:country and dismiss it

bobby, if you don't realize that alliances have ups and downs, then you're even less intelligent than you've portrayed yourself to be on these forums ;)

I'll leave you with this thought I posted in another thread, which the haters conveniently ignored, but sums up what I've been saying since the SLIT wars outcome was obvious and things started t go downhill:

Originally posted by Pang:
Regardless of how you perceive what you're doing, there are others who don't agree with it, and are being turned off of this server/the game because of it. Whether it SoL hitting netters consistently for the last year, imag randomly hitting alliances with flimsy reasoning, LaF farming a small tag, or PDM topfeeding all-x countries on a consistent basis -- people aren't enjoying the outcomes of what is going on.

All I've been saying is that if everyone keeps going on the polarized path they are on now with an unwillingness to promote positive change for this server, this server is going to dwindle down until there are not even enough alliances left to rationalize the server's name.

It's still a fluffty policy. This is the ALLIANCE server. Why the eff would you prohibit clanmates from taking a retal? The land belongs to the alliance, not to the individual.


Originally posted by Pang:

There's no such thing as topfeeding anymore. Everything is based on similar networths. This term "topfeeding" needs to get dropped -- even the name is a misnomer now.

Didn't you retire tan?

Don't tell me your like helltard now and fake retiring every few months.

It's a valid and grab promoting policy, which as I understand it is pdm's mission statment.

Single grabs in 24 hours are 1:1 country:country
multiple in 24 hours are 1:1 esc and any can retal
no l:l unless fa talks are made

5+ non retal hits on our tag from a country within 72 hours will be met with death
any missiles on our tag will be met with death
any AB/GS/BR attacks on our tag will be met with death
any harmful spy ops on our tag will be met with death
declaring war on any country in our tag will be met with death


I really don't see why that is such a horrible policy. If you don't keep enough d onhand, then you need to keep enough cash onhand to retal. Obviously if someone tries to abuse this police and only grab once every 24 hours, we will take extra measures.

This is only for unpacted clans, it can be avoided by pacting NA. I think it encorages people to pact na or leads to grab and defend their land.

Well fluff fire, that sounds exactly like what PDM is trying to do doesn't it? Just because it's new, and all scary, you reject it

How is topfeeding a thing of the past? I dont care what peoples networths are. If you have someone with 100k acres and 50mill networth and someone who jumped with 5k acres and 50mill networth and the 2nd country hits the first one that is a topfeed. Im using a crazy circumstance on purpose. Even with ghost acres returns wont be similar in the least :P

Yes, because if you want all your land back, you need to retal it yourself. OR you can open it up clan-wide, and 1 retal should be more than enough to get all the land back if countries with similar NWs are chosen properly.

Also, why shouldn't special attacks be considered legit retals? In most cases you'll actually lose less by getting retalled with a missile.

Our policy extends both ways and it gives disenfranchised countries a means to deter hits on them that are otherwise unretallable by them.

Finally, it's more fun this way. We play this game to have fun, right? At least we do.

The numbers? We are outnumbered 2:1... and fighting a war of only trying to do better than if we had been FSed...

To much complaining...I loved the war, I played this game about 3 years ago and randomly (after getting an email from Llaar) decided why the fluff not and came back to play again. I have no idea what I am doing, but this war taught me a whole hell of a lot. I learned different things for prep, for hitting, and for warring. I mean honestly...just because you don't do well in a war doesn't mean you gotta be ashamed...It means there is room for improvement. This is a game for fluffs sakes. Now if this was a war in real life, than you can spout off that we out to be ashamed, but you didn't fight...so that would mean you ought to be more ashamed than you think we ought to be...
