36 vs 29 tagged countries, one clan just had a war with SoF while another's been stocking for weeks, Thomas? It helps that iMag's countries have terrible SPALs and military counts but they do have missile counts and stockpiles AND the FS so that should be enough.

So you're saying SOL sending massive FA packages to NA restarts doesn't factor into IMAG having to kill said countries, with no FA help at all? This war wasn't planned until a few days ago. Get over yourself.

btw our originals were fresh from a war with SoF, an alliance that actually knows how to build countries (tip: build industrial complexes to get spies) so I'd say those countries of yours with $1.5bn stocked are better equiped than anything other than 1/2 countries we have

err 4 kills in the past 14 days. so one more than if it was just SOL.

but both sides came into this war willingly - it'll just be a testament to iMag's mediocrity if they manage to lose this

yet your countries are much better stocked. besides, can't have been that serious a war if you have countries stocking with 50k troops and 0 turrets...

Err well by the looks of it there really wasn't much of a war, so maybe just netgaining skills? and remember, it's relative to how much we managed to develop our countries while warring SoF in the same period ;)

i got 1 FA package from a SoL country. to be fair, i didnt know that it was a SoL member, i thought it was a sanct member when i accepted the pact. i let the country die shortly after and didnt hit with the AID.

if you wish to fluff about that id suggest you not because it in no way affected the war.

We knew about the FA for a while now and never mentioned it. Obviously if we were concerned about it we would have brought the issue up sooner. But we didn't.

Heya dagga,

To expect us to "win" a war 120 vs 39 is a little shortsighted. Not that we're complaining. We welcome the uphill battle. In fact, the war wouldn't had been as satisfying if it had consisted of us demolishing NA, whom, as we all know, do not make it their business to be acquainted with war anyway. While their performance was poor -- something I don't fault them for because of the nature of their clan as netters -- I have a lot more respect for them then I have for you or SOL.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of people that I like in SOL, but being criticized by someone in a clan that hasn't felt the necessity to fight with any form of desperation because they haven't seen the compulsion to, the need to, because they've always had the luxury of being on top... holds as much water as the teeth my grandmother soaks her dentures in -- which is to say, not much, and whatever water held is defiled and scummy.

It's truly disappointing to see that this is the kind of position the "Sons of Liberty" hold.

You base your entire comment on this single phrase "because they've always had the luxury of being on top".

First, I would like to thank you for considering SOL being "ontop". It means alot to me that you think highly of us.

Second, It isnt luxury to be a decent warring alliance, it takes effort from everyone within the alliance to make things happen. If you think you just happen to be on the lossing side, maybe you should pick your allies and your wars better? Being on the bottom as Imag has been is as much as apart of the game as being on the 'winning side'. Its a balancing act that has positive and negative effects both long term and short term.

So really much of you have said in that statement is pretty void considering where its comming from. Try harder next time when attempting to insult someone.

Edit:
Also, losing proudly without staining your image is as important as winning.
2nd Edit:
Shouldnt try to derail the thread anymore, lets get it back on topic!

Good Luck Imag and Sanct!

you've got a 7 country advantage, the FS, time to stock... what more does iMag need to actually win a war?

PS: your countries could also have SPALs and techs. If you'd actually built ICs from the beginning and spent those cash piles on $900 tech you'd be doing pretty well

"IXenowhat" SOL has always been on top on this server?

See we were demolished by LCN and Omega in Aug 2010 by trying to defend the stupidity of imagnum. Demolished. The set after that, we took a 60 member LaF to task over their 48 hr retal window and L:L with our 40 members (and declining). We prevailed.

Don't confuse hard work with just happening to be one of the better alliances on the server. It doesn't just happen like that. Maybe imaginary numbnuts could take heed and realise that after however many years you idiots have been alive you have never risen above Ragnarok status? At least they were able to get themselves aligned with a few coalitions now and then that actually made a difference.

signatures are stupid.

Our stupidity? I don't think SOL should be signing DPs if they have absolutely no intent on honoring them. It took you 10 days after I called you in to stop circle jerking each other and finally start hitting. Ten. Days. The war was over by the time you started hitting.

And it wasn't only that. A certain Red thought it'd be funny/cute to give LCN a heads up on your FS. So much notice in fact that LCN found Omega which promptly came in and bulldozed you right after your FS.

The only fault I take away from that war is actually believing SOL had respect enough to help iMag when called upon. I was sorely wrong and I haven't looked back since.

I can respect a good war, and I can respect people who tag kill us over and over and over again. LCN and Fist farmed us for a month. I respect that more than the swift tag kill you gave us earlier this set. As hard as I try to, I can't respect the "liberty" that you profess to serve.

It's like an attention seeking thing. Why don't you try the slightly more difficult path and develop relations with a group of alliances and help them out? Having 'flufflists' and random first strikes is no longer going to fly here.

Give yourselves some credit and try to play the game in a better spirit otherwise we will just end up here in the same spot. If you want to change, SOL will not only leave you alone, but I'm sure will help you along the way. :)

yea this war is oddly "shaped" Im not sure how to weigh in on who would have an advantage. Sanct has big countries with techs left over from the original war with SOF. Most of these were maimed, sold off millions of spies, changed govs, etc.. (no excuses, dont get me wrong). So we have the NW advantage, but we have fewer countries and did not have any stored turns. It's hard to determine what the advantage is but it is all in good fun anyway so it doesnt really matter eh?

Bigger countries Vs Samller restarts, with a 7 member adavntage, the FS and many more turns.

i think its fair enough.

on a side note more in line with the thread.... fighting IMAG is different from RAGE ....so not having ten days to built up restarts our restarts were still building to hit RAGE style restarts, not IMAG.
