Well, in that case I hear the bones of the Evil Empire taste good in the winter. Feel free to scavenge. There will be plenty to go around.

KoHearts - We have popcorn in the resistance. I don't know where your allegiances lie, but we do not discriminate against defectors either. The man who helped build the death star was also responsible for supplying the information for it's eventual downfall.

Be the change you want to be in the universe.

Superfly your word games will not work on the people here. You have correctly identified the first salvo of attacks during this round. What you've failed to mention is the attacks that Darkness initiated in the previous round.

As this round began, HR was prepared to fight Darkness. We were prepared for a slightly uneven fight of 3vs5. We secured truces with other teams to ensure we could deal with a force that was 40% larger than us.

Unbeknownst to us, the force was 300% larger.

And you mistake my crying for rallying. There is no crying here. I enter round 3 of this war with my head held high, and the confidence of a God. I know that The Resistance will triumph. The bravado that you and yours express will be your downfall. You think there is no way that a ragtag group of people lead by myself could ever challenge your mighty grip.

But the doubt shows. The fact that you are here now, attempting to spin my words in a negative light, shows that you fear what is coming. You've seen that we are not a group that will back down. You've seen that despite attacking me and mine with 9+ members for AN ENTIRE ROUND, we are still here. We are still fighting, and we are still causing significant losses to your teams.

And most importantly, you KNOW that as our numbers swell, trouble awaits you. If it has been this difficult for you with this many more countries, what will happen when the odds are even. Even worse, what if our resistance eclipses your team? How will you handle being on the receiving end of a 3 on 1.

This fight is only beginning. And I eagerly await the coming battles. You and yours want to build farms and research technology. While the resistance wants to see the world burn. And it will burn.

My team and I have been victims of unmitigated aggression from Darkness and the rule violating coalition he has assembled (relax, I know it's not real rules, this is just propaganda).

Rather than fighting fairly, they have decided to attack a team of 3, with numbers exceeding 10. They laugh at the mere mention of these crimes against our world, obviously not caring for honor or fairness in battle.

They have made a crucial mistake, however. They have flown too close to the Black Hole. A place where, once you enter, you will never leave. They sealed their fate, and now they await gravity to do it's job, as it sucks them into the abyss of nothingness.

Gravity goes by another name, it's called The Resistance. And The Resistance is ramping up it's power.

Already, Darkness et. al is seeing the effects of picking a fight with such a formidable foe. They have been relentlessly trying to destroy me, to no avail. Just this morning I had the pleasure of eating 50 plus turns of attacks and shredding over a million jets from Country (#32). Sure, we lost a few buildings and some civilians were buried in the rubble. But I have blood to spare. After all of these attacks from you, and many others in your evil empire, I am still standing. In fact, I'm not just standing, I'm counter punching. My nuke and chemical missile factories are working overtime. And as soon as we develop another, I happily lob it over at one of your ugly faces.


And all of this is occurring despite the resistance coming to this fight outgunned and unaware of the rules of engagement. But the tide is turning. The people are seeing the blight that is Darkness, and would love nothing more than to plunge Darkness into an eternal darkness from whence they will never emerge, The Blackhole.


Next round, the story continues. The battle intensifies. And The Resistance grows. Derrick has already pledged his support of The Resistance and is coming out of retirement to vanquish the beast he helped create. Our numbers swell, but we are still looking for more. Come join The Resistance. If you want to know more, feel free to reach out to me here, or in game. You know how to find me, I don't hide behind name changes.

Derrick - you tell me what you need from me, and I'll supply it. Viagra, hookers and blow, a pep talk while you're trying to get the job done.... I'm here for you! That's the kind of leader I am. I don't care if you founded Darkness, betrayals happen. In fact, I'd argue betrayals are really cool.

You have an opportunity to here. Many people are founders of clans. But how many people found clans, lead them to greatness, then destroy them from the outside. You have the chance to be a part of something special, to be the catalyst to paving a new world. You can be Earth Empires Thanos. Snap your fingers, make this resistance a reality, destroy half of team server with me. Your name will be lauded and feared for decades to come.

As Achilles said to that boy in that tent when the boy was all 'I wouldn't want to fight him'.

"That's why nobody will remember your name".

We all desire for our names to be sung throughout history, now is your chance. Join us. Do it... do it now!

Just because he started Darkness doesn't mean he wouldn't want to fight against it's tyrannical ways! He knows more than most what an iron fist it has ruled with, and may want to see the resistance rise up.

Besides, I'm not going to hold it against him that he started darkness. All are welcome here, if they are willing to fight.

He is, Hempman. He's going to join HR next round and fight Darkness/Warmness/REN.

Beautiful post Derrick. So can I assume you'll be joining up with HR next round? You want activity? Help me bring the heat.

Well - I guess I'll just put this out there publicly.

I will be fighting Darkness, Warmness, REN next round on team. Our goal will be nothing but complete destruction of them.

For anyone who wants to take part in this fight and make a stand, reach out to me here or in game.

You can bet on that, SuperFly.

I'm assuming this is sarcasm, but I really can't tell. I also don't know if you were replying to me or not?

I dont think anyone here is claiming anyone, including admins, are cheating though. So I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

I should also add, this whole 'destroy everyone if we get attacked' tactic is hilarious.

Ya'll have definitely held down myself and the rest of HR. But at what cost? You've spent SOOOOOO many turns and resources hitting us. And you're STILL getting hit by Nukes. Just today alone Darkness of Winter has lost over 2500 acres to nukes from us.

I get the idea - put the fear into others. They will know not to attack us, for we will strike back x1000. That should save you having to waste turns/resources fighting wars. But that only works if people A. Know who you are and B. Care about your threats.

Obviously I don't know who you are, and I'll tell you right now, I have FUN burning the world to the ground. I'll happily do this with you round after round, if you'd like.

No - Superfly, not everyone knows that.

This is only my 2nd game, and I genuinely thought the team server, where it states the rules are teams of 5 max, meant that the most you could have was 5 max.

Further, when looking at the rules of other servers, it specifically states that circumventing the rules of the server (creating alliances outside of tags, i.e. on tournament) is not allowed.

Now that I've discovered the forum, and read through some of these posts, I see that the rules aren't actually meant to be followed on team. Ok - cool.

Additionally, I don't know who the crap Darkness is. I guess I've learned that Darkness, REN, Warmness... maybe FREEDOM as well, are all one big clan. Ok - Cool as well. My team of 3 wasn't ready, nor did we know, we were about to fight 10 guys.
