Bob Slydell Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I've just been attacked by a nation in The Legion. While, normally, a war is a wonderful thing to have, this one gave me concerns. The nation in question has been in The Legion for over a year and was remarkably inept in his warfighting abilities. I mean, he attacked at 12 minutes to an hour after midnight, and only got off one ground attack. I had two thoughts on the root cause of this. Either, one, The Legion has no effective training for its members on how to fight a war or, two, folks in The Legion aren't paying attention to the training that's available. That's where The Bobs comes in. We are a full-service consultancy that can offer the following benefits, among others: We can show a way to double, even quadruple ground attacks in the first wave. With just two easy steps, your nations can really step up productivity and performance. We can demonstrate industry best practices in having cash on hand when fighting a war, so as not to be bankrupt at the end of a series of battles. We can unlock the secrets behind the best way to deploy an air force, including how to handle level nine planes! Introduce a simple, three-step plan to right-size your organization, built around a core of nations whose leaders actually read up on how to fight wars. I don't mind the fact that The Legion is at war with my nation right now: business is business, and The Bobs are here to assist all potential clients. Reach out to us today to find out about our strategic, synergystic services that can give you leverage. The Bobs... We're on YOUR team!

Mompson Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 You realize he's still outdamaged you thus far? You might want to fight longer than 16 hours in you're entire history before you start acting like you know what you're doing.Also get a trade circle. Would you like my consulting services to teach you how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Uruk Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Attacking outside of update isn't always a bad thing, you know. Although he should have waited longer, tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number of Soldiers Lost in All Wars. 368 Attacking + 0 Defending = 368 Casualties Okay, I will bite. Did he give you only 1 defeat alert? And did you just buy a bunch of infra (doubling it) after being attacked? EDIT: And was he currently already at war with someone who had been nuking him, and nuked him 3 hours after he declared on you? So, your suggestion is he should have waited until update, gotten nuked and not been able to declare?

Would you like my consulting services to teach you how? Got a trade circle underway, thanks for your offer in this area all the same. As far as him outdamaging me, are you using mark-to-market accounting or traditional GAAP to assess that number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Bad Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Picking on Legion for its fighting skills is like picking on a blind, armless, legless boxer. They are terrible, they have always been terrible and always will be terrible. Everybody knew this except you it would seem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: And was he currently already at war with someone who had been nuking him, and nuked him 3 hours after he declared on you? So, your suggestion is he should have waited until update, gotten nuked and not been able to declare? Not at all. The timeline went like this: Update --> His attack on me --> Him getting nuked. I really could use a Gantt chart, here, so bear with me while I do the brown-paper thing on this whiteboard... What I'm suggesting, and I'm not giving away too much free consulting when I say this, but it should have gone like this: First attack on me --> Update --> Another attack on me --> Him getting nuked. Simple process revision and productivity increases. And I'm not saying that the nation is particularly bad. There is, however, room for improvement, and that's where consulting comes in. As far as my personal professional prior experience goes, I've got a number of NDAs in place, so I'm not going to get into discussing that aspect. We'll put a pin in that and, when the NDAs are expired, we can take that topic up again, no problem. Until then, hey, if anyone wants to throw rocks, well the heart wants what the heart wants. The Bobs always has a policy about taking the high road and keeping communications professional and upbeat. Kind of like the music of Michael Bolton. He's the top-selling adult contemporary male vocalist in our nation, and I just can't get enough of his professional and upbeat songcrafting.

Yeah, seem like you are still failing to grasp the timeline. Your suggested timeline failed to realize what was actually going on even though I spelled it out. Him already at war and being nuked by Cichy (anarchy) -> update -> him leaving anarchy -> him defeat alerting you because you had too few troops -> him getting nuked -> you buy a bunch of infra because that is what your war guides say to do when you get sent to anarchy by a single attacker -> you post a thread explaining how you understand warfare -> next update. So, tell me more about your great understanding of war. Because it has been pretty funny how bad its been so far.

The Zigur Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Hello Bob, The Revolutionary Order Party would love for you to share your consultation with the Party and for your employees to be introduced to our little red book. Think of it as upbeat, professionally handled insurance in case we achieve global revolution.
