Some needed clarification


Recommended Posts

This post is about 2 weeks too late, and in response to this thread, and to avoid being hit with a gravedig, I'm posting a new topic. I do apologize for how long it's taken me. I have family visiting for Christmas and New Years, and the past couple weeks I've been almost completely unavailable. I tried to read that thread in it's entirety, but admittedly to save myself some time and inevitable headdesking, I'm just going to go for it, and try to keep it short for the people like me, who are tired of reading textwalls.

 

This is the screenshot that apparently broke TE:

C35UbP5.png

 

Prior to this convo with Stevie, I had spoken to HG, Das and a handful of other leaders in TE, and was trying to clear up what exactly happened with UN's score inflation after the round had ended. Some of them were just as confused as I was. It's understandable. We don't have someone who takes daily stats anymore. And I'm sure someone will come in here and debate who was wrong, and who was right, so I'll leave that to them. I don't have the energy for it, nor do I care anymore.

 

But this statement specifically I'd like to clarify:

Quote

But then after Justice League is in motion, HG admits that UN would've had the award for top score fairly without inflating their stats. That threw me, because if that's true, HG either recently found out, or purposely misled me.

 

I've combed over every log I have, mainly to see if I somehow misunderstood HG's statements. I can't find any evidence that he said the above statement. My only conclusion is that the logs were posted in a Justice League announcement, and I have no screenshots of those. He has recently clarified to me what he meant by it, and I assume he'll do so here as well. I do apologize to him for not asking him to clarify his statements then and there.

 

Also, to say I was manipulated or coerced into doing anything, is unfair to HG. I'm a big girl. I can take responsibility for my actions and decisions that I made to put Justice League in motion last round. I don't think it was mistake, nor do I regret it. We have all agreed that there is something wrong with the strongest alliance award, due to it's ability to be gamed so easily. Justice League proved that, as did UN. It's clear admin doesn't care, so I would hope that we'd have come to some agreement on how to handle it going forward. Sadly, I believe it's too late for that, but maybe it's not. We did all just agree on a holiday ceasefire.

 

I'd also like to clarify this now that it's out in the open:

Quote

I'm learning a few things about HG's character. He used Justice League to undermine the leadership in other AA's, which I didn't appreciate. And he was all for accepting those 0 day old nations until I rallied the other gov to support me in not accepting them. For the record, no other AA leader was for accepting them.

 

Yes, whether it was on purpose or not, I did feel as if HG was undermining leadership in other alliances who joined Justice League. In Justice League, he was posting alliance announcements that tried to rally support for targeting UN in the future, as well as guilt tripping other alliances to follow suit. I felt that posting that for all members to see, instead of discussing that among alliance leaders who are the decision makers in their alliances, was meant to cause members to pressure their leaders into targeting UN. Again, it's entirely possible that HG didn't mean to undermine anybody's leadership.


 

I want to end this post with this. No, I don't believe anybody was innocent last round. Justice League felt as if 0 day old nations, who have contributed nothing to TE, should not be used to inflate alliance score to win an award. However, there is nothing in the ToS banning it, so assuming all their recruits were legit players, what UN did was legal. And by the same token, merging alliances was also legal. Some people in Justice League did recruit some people on the last day of TE, and eventually, all leaders - HiredGun included, decided that we shouldn't accept them. Accepting them would've given JL the edge they needed to overtake UN and win it, but we bowed out. If anybody's interested, these are the stats I took seconds before the game went down, where I calculated the score of everybody on UN and JL's AA, pending and approved.

 

We've gone down a rabbit hole here in TE, where we're focusing on who's more right, and who deserves what, and it's spiraled out of control. It's all hypocritical, and I do not wish to be part of it. No, I have no plans to target UN. And no, I will not be joining any JL that creates in the future. If anyone feels that I am deserving of any punishment for my actions or the apparent mess that I've caused, that's fine. My only request is that you focus on me, and not WD's. Of the 5 people in my alliance, for 2 of them, this is their first full round of TE, and they didn't do anything wrong. You're even free to hit me during the holiday peace pact.

 

Anyway, I hope that I've cleared up some things. I hope everybody's Christmas was great, and that you all have a fabulous (and safe!) New Years. Admittedly, I feel a little ashamed posting about this when Wile is asking for Christmas prayers, but it needed to be said. Take care. o/

Just to reinforce why Sam was incredibly confused to say I only supported bringing in new nations.

 

This is first JL leader to support Sam not using new nations

srqaeVe.png

 

When Sam started the JL alliance, she made every alliance leader a manager so they could approve their members. New 0 day old nations started to pop up on the aa and were being accepted by unknown managers while Sam was taking them off the aa and again they were being re-accepted so I suggested she take away everyone's ability to approve members and for the remainder of the round, JL seen no more new nations join.

https://screenshots.firefox.com/yMDlKib6iPMxmlxd/discordapp.com

 

So I think these actions contradict that " he was all for accepting those 0 day nations" .

 

I've explained the context around why I did say that the UN did deserve the award earlier on the owf in private to the other JL leaders and to a few other people including Sam. It was only based on them leading the econ race but cos of their underhanded tactics, they don't deserve it.  Just because you're the fastest horse doesn't mean you're guaranteed to win and we have stats that show the race was close between the UN and WotN until the UN leaped ahead with an additional 6 nations while WotN remained static at 19. They feared the WotN fairly overtaking them so they made sure that was the closest they got. In round 43 they did not deserve the award if we were to measure economic strength but they still won it by using the same tactics of padding stats with new nations.

 

I had a rant at everyone in JL for not helping to keep the playing field even, it was nothing personal, just a rant that we shouldn't have had to form JL if others got off their butts and competed fairly as the UN felt they deserved it and would go to any lengths to make sure they won it, hence reaching 69 members. How is a little criticism undermining the other JL leaders? IRON agreed they would help keep the field even and if you're trying to win, you'll naturally contribute no matter how small in number you are. This is overall healthy for the game and activity is good for memberships, it's why D1 has been strong for years now so I am not trying to undermine anyone, especially a 5 nation alliance. 

 

What is more disappointing and disturbing is that my opinions should've been held in complete confidence whether or not Sam or anyone else agreed with them during our time together in JL, she may as well drop every log that was said by everyone. But to take words I either never said or were taken out of context to those who will stop at nothing to see D1 go down cos we're aggressive against those who use underhanded tactics is a betrayal of the highest order when I all simply done was give my support to Sam.

 

The best way to fight people who use underhanded tactics is together with force, it always has been and that is what We'll continue to do.

 

Anyway I'll add more to this but I don't have the time today.

I don't understand why you asked me to make this thread, then come in here and attempt to discredit me by saying I'm an "incredibly confused" unreliable source. Doesn't that just make people want to not believe what I originally stated in the OP, and more inclined to believe I was somehow manipulated?

 

Yes, I was confused, and still am, on what happened with UN and D1's score last round. But one thing I know without a shadow of a doubt is that you were originally for accepting the 0 day old nations, and that you pressured me into agreeing to accept them, saying that we should play by their (i.e. UN's) rules. That didn't sit right with me, and you know that. We debated it back and forth throughout the day, and at one point, to satiate you, I agreed that at the end of the round, if we needed the NS boost, we'd accept the nations. Otherwise, we'd just let them remain on pending. I notice those logs aren't the ones you posted. Anyway, it ate at me the remainder of the day, because I knew that's not how I wanted to win, so in efforts to go around you, I posted the above message to all the AA leaders. That's what pressured you into agreeing with me.

If you're the boss, and you tell your workers that they have to work on Christmas, and I go to them and say they should all take the day off, that's undermining your authority.

And nice try. I am not going to log dump any convo's that were said in private. The only logs that I've shown are my own. I never dumped any of your logs, whereas you are dumping mine in discord chats. I never gave UN or Stevie any proof that you misled me. In those logs, I even gave you the benefit of the doubt saying that you might not have known yourself. All I was trying to do was get to the bottom of what was happening, and if that's a betrayal of the highest order, then okay. Tar and feather me boys.

What an awful analogy. This is a text based game, there really aren't many contingencies that can arise in terms of the strongest alliance.

 

We would've won it with our main members because we had everything we needed to win it. We deserved to win it because we had the best run. It's really as simple as that. Anyway, all that can be viewed as subjective, so not really worth debating, tbh.

Your stats are incredibly irrelevant.

 

They show that on Nov 11th, we had a 2 point lead on the Wolves, with us at 52 and them at 50. Then on Nov 13th, we approved our temps/ghosts and had a score of 68, while everyone else remained static.

 

The thing is, we had already set the high score.

 

In early october (or late September?) we set the score at 57 (screenshot of us at 57 is in the TE server). Then on October 22nd, you (admittedly) approved your ghosts, then put them back on pending after your score registered, which overtook our score of 57 (that we got with only our main members).

 

After you did that, and right before we declared war on OP, DCS, NDO and WD, we approved our temps, giving us a score of 61.04, the new high score.

 

Then, around November 4th, you had a few P&W friends make nations and join D1. There's a screenshot in the TE server of me and Das discussing that. Granted, you didn't overtake our score of 61.04. But, the only logical conclusion to draw was that you were having those people create so you can make an unfair play for strongest AA. So, since you had those P&W friends join, we approved all of our ghosts and temps giving us a score of 68.87. That was on November 13th, the day we were all fully rebuilt from our two straight wars (first with OP, DCS, WD, NDO, then followed immediately by NLoN and RE).

 

Us approving our ghosts (in response to you) then triggered the NDO/WotN merger, which led to the formation of JL.

 

Then the recruiting of 0 day old nations started, because like you said:

Of course it was debated whether to accept them or not but I never said I was 100% set on approving them, the goal was to consider all options and work out what was the best course of action for JL but after your message, I was fully behind leaving them off the aa. You may not have dumped logs but you still secretly shared the contents of those logs and continue to now to try and protect your own credibility. This underming you're trying to push on me is ridiculous and you were only trying to get to the bottom of all this by only listening to those who undermined everyone else.

Explain where the extra 10 nations you've already used to set a record came from? Record is currently set at 29 yet now you only have 19 members. You don't deserve that record yet you already have a strangle hold on it. I thought the alliance who deserves it should win it? I see you've already resorted to your underhanded tactics.

Lol, we couldn't care less about strongest AA this round. And a strangle hold? But I thought you said strongest AA was never taken by an early round log?

I'm going to level with you here. I know you're not defending yourself to me, but everyone, and truthfully, you don't need to explain yourself to anyone. It was the last day of the round, emotions were high, and while yes, your first opinion was to accept the nations. But ultimately, you decided against it. And even if you hadn't, accepting them wasn't breaking any gameplay rules. So we're splitting hairs here. Even in my original statement, I said:

 

Quote

And he was all for accepting those 0 day old nations until I rallied the other gov to support me in not accepting them.

 

I understand, that I shouldn't never said that. I've apologized to you in private, and I'll do it again here. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said it. If I was feeling conflicted, I should've spoken to you about it. I admit that.

 

Quote

You may not have dumped logs but you still secretly shared the contents of those logs and continue to now to try and protect your own credibility.

 

And I've apologized to you, privately and publically. I'm not saying you should accept my apology. But it's clear to me now that you acted as though you were alright with me privately, to bait me into talking to you so you could immediately share my logs. You requested that I post this thread, then basically use it to attack me. You also requested that I talk to IRON personally and clarify things. I'm not sharing content of logs to protect my own credibility, you are. I'm trying to make right here. I'm literally doing everything you asked of me.

What? 

 

This literally has no correlation to whether or not early-round logs win the award, and quite frankly, it makes absolutely no sense.

What are you even talking about? We haven't approved then removed a single nation.

There is so much to say and a lot of information that can be spun, distorted, and regurgitated in i think a false way. For the record I absolutely despise Hired Gun, I think he is egotistical, dirty, vengeful,punk  and the list can go on. Most people know of my opinion of him. However that being stated I absolutely align with him on what went down last round. In fact for me to join an alliance with him in it in an attempt to right a wrong should speak volumes in regard to my own opinion of fairness within this game . Loop holes sadly always exist and will be taken advantage of by people regardless of the initial intent of the structure that was made. How we perceive this to be cheating, or playing by the rules, are made  entirely on each individuals shoulders to decide for themselves. Unfortunately we do not have a cybernations police unit, or a court system to decide who is right and who is wrong. No matter how players try to govern each others actions it is a flawed and somewhat futile act. But i know i will continue to make decisions in game based on my own opinion of what is right and what is wrong, and what happened last round was wrong.I truly would have rather seen defcon1  win than see any alliance win any award if it was done by bringing in unplaying nations to slant the scores to win. I am not promoting defcon1 by any means as i have found them in my judgement not to be righteous or innocent either. But which alliance has been? I sadly think we all push the limits just a little bit then we we see an alliance push farther and we call foul. I truly enjoy this community and enjoy despising some of the people in it (HG haha). But to some it up if i see what happened last round happen again i know i will work with anyone in an attempt to prevent it from happening again.

You despised me when you were with D1 so considering our history in opposing alliances, it is no surprise your hatefulness towards me is at unhealthy levels. Calling me vengeful while you pretend to be innocent is a joke if we take a close look at your war history. You've even stated in dows that the dow reason was to settle an old score. No one in this game is innocent of seeking revenge, it has always been a part of the game. The other insults are incredibly hypocritical.

i was trying to explain that I take your side irregardless of how I feel about you..to be honest when I was in d1 there was never any bad vibes towards you...... but this is funny and proves a point in a way that you can’t seem to understand the point of my post because you are focused on one line of it where I am saying something about you that you don’t like. So you focus on that instead of the bigger picture which is that I would and did align myself with you to try to stop what happened last round from happening.(sigh)

However that being stated I absolutely align with him on what went down last round. In fact for me to join an alliance with him in it in an attempt to right a wrong should speak volumes in regard to my own opinion of fairness within this game

 

i was trying to explain that I take your side irregardless of how I feel about you..to be honest when I was in d1 there was never any bad vibes towards you...... but this is funny and proves a point in a way that you can’t seem to understand the point of my post because you are focused on one line of it where I am saying something about you that you don’t like. So you focus on that instead of the bigger picture which is that I would and did align myself with you to try to stop what happened last round from happening.(sigh)

I understand you align with D1 on this issue and I'm glad to see someone else verbally oppose their tactics rather than sit quiet or symphasize with them. The only people who'll truly care about this issue without self interest motives are the alliances who were cheated out, D1 and WotN. As for my response, you attacked me, I defended myself and pointed out the hypocrisy in them. I know there were never any negative vibes towards me, I got that detail from a source very close to you. ;)

Explain where the extra 10 nations you've already used to set a record came from? Record is currently set at 29 yet now you only have 19 members. You don't deserve that record yet you already have a strangle hold on it. I thought the alliance who deserves it should win it? I see you've already resorted to your underhanded tactics. 

You've fought two wars with us, you know who our nations are/were. Are you now saying those 10 nations you fought and put into bill lock were not real or perhaps illegal nations?

All we know is you have an unlimited amounts of friends ready to pad your stats if needed. Not even every alliance in the game banding together can beat you here and some people actually believe there is nothing wrong with this, some even sympathize.

What? 

 

This literally has no correlation to whether or not early-round logs win the award, and quite frankly, it makes absolutely no sense. 

 

 

What are you even talking about? We haven't approved then removed a single nation. 

Early round logs have never won the award but you claimed you had the record mid round and should've won cos of that using all of your ghost and temps of course.

 

Just like now you have the record when you did approve 29 members in total. Now you think you can use nations who still contribute little to nothing and steal the award again from those who deserve it. You're not fooling everyone.

I don't understand why you asked me to make this thread, then come in here and attempt to discredit me by saying I'm an "incredibly confused" unreliable source. Doesn't that just make people want to not believe what I originally stated in the OP, and more inclined to believe I was somehow manipulated?

 

Yes, I was confused, and still am, on what happened with UN and D1's score last round. But one thing I know without a shadow of a doubt is that you were originally for accepting the 0 day old nations, and that you pressured me into agreeing to accept them, saying that we should play by their (i.e. UN's) rules. That didn't sit right with me, and you know that. We debated it back and forth throughout the day, and at one point, to satiate you, I agreed that at the end of the round, if we needed the NS boost, we'd accept the nations. Otherwise, we'd just let them remain on pending. I notice those logs aren't the ones you posted. Anyway, it ate at me the remainder of the day, because I knew that's not how I wanted to win, so in efforts to go around you, I posted the above message to all the AA leaders. That's what pressured you into agreeing with me.

 

 

If you're the boss, and you tell your workers that they have to work on Christmas, and I go to them and say they should all take the day off, that's undermining your authority.

 

And nice try. I am not going to log dump any convo's that were said in private. The only logs that I've shown are my own. I never dumped any of your logs, whereas you are dumping mine in discord chats. I never gave UN or Stevie any proof that you misled me. In those logs, I even gave you the benefit of the doubt saying that you might not have known yourself. All I was trying to do was get to the bottom of what was happening, and if that's a betrayal of the highest order, then okay. Tar and feather me boys.

Yes, I requested a public apology cos you admitted you were wrong in private but in your first public post on the issue you spent most of it trying to protect yourself rather than admit you were wrong, apologizing so we could both move on. Even if I was all for originally holding them, I changed my position and that is what was final but the way you told the UN, is that all I wanted to do was to use the new nations til the end, do you understand we were debating what was best for JL even if that meant we had to look at the option and consequences of holding them, I'd even say the reason why you were fixed on leaving them off was influenced from that debate. But all you're trying to do is continue to blame me for your mistakes and I'm not going to accept it. You can apologize all you want but what I want is for you to admit you were wrong to accuse me for wanting to keep them, misleading anyone and that I was fixed on believing they should've won it. I have explained why you were wrong, if you can prove otherwise, I'd like to see it. You're the only JL leader that I know of who believes I was misleading them and possibly held the smallest membership. For someone who told me they wanted the quiet TE life, you sure seem to want to get involved with the big boy feuds and take a side.

I'm not sure how having about 15 brand new players brought into a dying game is wrong. Unfortunately due to your actions, many of those players didn't even last a month. You must feel so proud of yourself. 

 

Your whole argument earlier was that the beginning/mid round score does not determine who the end round winner will be, in the same breath, you go on to complain about a score set by UN in the first month. Either the UN set the mark last round at the mid way mark and no one was going to beat it legitimately or the mid round score not matter at all because another alliance can still beat it? Which is it?

Do I get a new title? Perhaps some ideas...

HG the destroyer of noobs?

HG the butcher of noobs?

HG the monster?

HG the terror?

Newbies wail?

 

And how many times do I have to tell you? No one will ever beat the UN cos you think padding stats with new nations is perfectly fine and those that have sympathized with your lies and manipulation have tried to cripple this campaign.

I would love to see this go on and on ( NOT)

(but since I had my cataract surgery a couple weeks ago I don't have the screen set on 200%view anymore )

 

We can make it all fair by a cap on Alliance membership, We have 4 alliances with about 20 members 

If you your cap membership at 18, that's 3 trade circles everything is equal.

If you don't like 18 pick a number

If you have a bunch pending have them make their own alliance,  Having there own Alliance which is smaller allows them to mix it up with some of the smaller alliances , you can still trade with them

If some one goes inactive in your alliance bring one of them back  (like in baseball its your bull pin)

 

I liked what Cowboy tried to do a couple rounds ago making a training alliance,  but a good idea got screwed up (don't remember why but that does not really matter now)

 

Tell you the truth, I am enjoying the game more with just 6 members than I have in a long time.  Try It

This would fix it and has a lot of support if I recall but I don't see it happening since no one has updated anything to CN for years........but I agree with it (12 or 18 members per alliance)

There is so much to say and a lot of information that can be spun, distorted, and regurgitated in i think a false way. For the record I absolutely despise Hired Gun, I think he is egotistical, dirty, vengeful,punk  and the list can go on. Most people know of my opinion of him. However that being stated I absolutely align with him on what went down last round. In fact for me to join an alliance with him in it in an attempt to right a wrong should speak volumes in regard to my own opinion of fairness within this game . Loop holes sadly always exist and will be taken advantage of by people regardless of the initial intent of the structure that was made. How we perceive this to be cheating, or playing by the rules, are made  entirely on each individuals shoulders to decide for themselves. Unfortunately we do not have a cybernations police unit, or a court system to decide who is right and who is wrong. No matter how players try to govern each others actions it is a flawed and somewhat futile act. But i know i will continue to make decisions in game based on my own opinion of what is right and what is wrong, and what happened last round was wrong.I truly would have rather seen defcon1  win than see any alliance win any award if it was done by bringing in unplaying nations to slant the scores to win. I am not promoting defcon1 by any means as i have found them in my judgement not to be righteous or innocent either. But which alliance has been? I sadly think we all push the limits just a little bit then we we see an alliance push farther and we call foul. I truly enjoy this community and enjoy despising some of the people in it (HG haha). But to some it up if i see what happened last round happen again i know i will work with anyone in an attempt to prevent it from happening again.

Hahaha Mal went a little hard on HG there, but as most know I don't usually get along with him either, but agree as well....

 

Any alliance creating fake/1 day old nations to win an award is pathetic.... MEMBERS FROM ALL other alliances joined together to show they did not support what UN was doing and they still have no shame over doing it, instead try to justify and skew what happened .

 

Although Justice League was not my idea (but a fine one since some alliance didn't fancy mine), Before the idea of JL, I started to invited other alliances to join our alliance (WotN) since we were leading with the highest alliance score most of the round, until UN used non playing/new nations to boost their score at the end and took the award from my members. After that I did not care where the 2 nations that won the award were members from (D1, IRON, DCS, NLON, NDO, or WD) just hated to see an alliance that did not deserve the award win it. Anyone that blames Samwise for anything you just put that blame on me instead....

 

Anyone feel free to spin what happened last round however you wish, I know what I saw happen.

 

I'm a grudge holder and I know it, now more will know it as well.....Ill just add you right under Lord Hitchcock name! And if you don't like it you can kiss what I'm rubbing:)

I guess you still don't understand the score mechanic, huh?

 

According to you, your score of 50 (on November 11th) would've won? How's that possible when we already set the high score at 61.04 on November 4th? Or even our score of 57 in late September? Or even D1's score of 59 in late October? 

 

I'm honestly dumbfounded that you think you were actually leading most of the round. In fact, you never once held the high score.

 

Literally. Never.

 

Like we've said over and over, the only time we boosted our score with non-playing nations was after every alliance merged together for the sole purpose of inflating stats, so again, this doesn't line up with the facts. 

 

We've already proven this wrong several times, but if you want to keep denying facts to support your false narrative, then by all means, go ahead.

This makes 0 sense, Bundy. All it does is show that you weren't paying attention to the events that transpired. 

 

I have to be honest, the level of egotism, self-righteousness, close-mindedness and unintelligence in this post rivals no one but HG himself.

No, you requested that I clarify the statements that I made. I did that.

I'm not taking anybody's side. I fact checked you to get a full accounting on what was happening.
