Cool. If I come back to play I'd will probably just play a grunt lol. leading takes too much work.

It have been 6 years since I last played this game. It was fun managing MHA (CNTE) back in rounds 2-7. Debating whether I should come back and play once more...and if there are any players left from way back in the beginning?!?

[quote name='Krack' timestamp='1327960949' post='2910872'] Nope. And I never even came remotely close to saying that it did. However, to me, the largest determinant over whether an alliance survives is if it still [i]exists[/i] - are there people on the AA? Based on this thread, alone, you flunked that test. [/quote] Krack, you do know that in about the 3.7 years I've played this game, the number of players have dropped considerably,and even more so in TE. A small alliance like ours is dependent on members being active. I've known many of our members that in the span of 3 years, many have graduated college, some are married, others now have kids. When we started about 3 years ago, people had time to play this game a lot, heck I help build our website and hosted it. Fast forward to now, I'm busy as hell with work and family life, to the point where even all my game consoles are collecting dust. When leadership no longer has the time to play the game let alone dedicate time to the alliance, it is time to move on. If you held a position anywhere high up in the government of an alliance our size of bigger, you will know how much work goes into building and maintaining an alliance, let alone alliance relationships. At minimum GOV is a part time job, and at it's height, a full time gig. I am sure most GOV members can vouch for what I say. Most of in Asgaard have well over 1B in warchest remaining even after the war. I have about 1.5B myself. It isn't that we can't play and that the war did us in. If you knew us at all, we were all asking for war because it was getting very boring. The sad truth is that most of us had already mentally moved on from this game probably about a year ago to be honest. Like most, we still have ties to this game and friends we chat with, which was what kept most people around. Before you make silly comments about our disbandment, please take the time to actually do some research before you comment. To all others, Thank You for your classy comments.

This has been a great run! Proud to have called Asgaard my home. I too have been greatly affected by RL. It is amazing how much power the world of RL holds and the profound effects it has on us. I will take down our website by EOD 1/31/2012. o/ Asgaard

I'm just glad that actually like the idea and ran with a modified version. Win Win overall for everyone!

Playing with all the PS members was an honor. It's been fun! Maybe I should bring back MHA... Most Harmful Alliance! But then, I'm probably too lazy to do the work now and lead it, especially with my work schedule!

Happy about his death yes... blinded? No... Truth is that he is a figure head but #2 still remains. Also it could mean a backlash in the short term as attacks may rise in the near term.

Proud to be an American! Kudos to our special forces, the President and his team for getting the job done!

[quote name='seixas' timestamp='1303349977' post='2695086'] This is a good idea, however if prizes are main motivation for people playing TE, then I think the placing field should be extended to the top 10. Right now if the playing field is 1,500 nations than only 0.2% will actually take something away. If that really is their motivation to play or not, they might consider that a waste of time. I'm not saying give everyone in the top 10 crazy prizes, but tossing some SE tech, land, and/or money at them while increasing their chances at actually winning some kind of reward would help. [/quote] It was a starter idea but top 10 getting SE tech isn't a bad idea... something maybe along the lines of this: 1. 500 tech, flag, choice to giving tech to another member 2. 350 3. 300 4. 250 5. 200 6. 150 7. 125 8. 100 9. 75 10. 50

[quote name='Dochartaigh' timestamp='1301982471' post='2684508'] hey no probs Thai, it happens. Still glad you did the update. Just curious if you are going to add LEFT into the next update you do? [/quote] Yeah I'll add left's stats in as well but I don't have their starting stats.

Fixed...sorry about the error!

Sorry for a very late update, been busy in RL. Anyway If you look at the stats update today, you'll see it's a close war. Very close.

Uh... you're welcome for posting stats?

[i][b]Wow... I haven't seen this much activity on one thread in a long time![/b][/i] Personally, IMHO (and speaking for myself) I rather enjoy the fighting. This is great practice for waring skills. The greater the odds against you, the smarter you have to play. Conversely, if you have great odds, you also have to play smart to take advantage of your status. I think G-6 played well with their given hand this round. In this war, I think PLOW was smart to find needed resources to fight this war. Honestly, both sides have done well up to this point in time. In hindsight, anyone of us can go back and look at the past to play "Monday morning quarterback" and spin anything one way or another. I also think both sides have a lot of things to improve on as well. I am enjoying this war even after being nuked twice and fighting nations twice my starting NS and it took a nuke to anarchy me. I'm sure there are G-6 nations who can say the same. [u]My advice to both sides is simple. Play with what you got and have fun. Don't brag like bully, p0ut like children, or whine like an id10t.[/u] [i][b]It's a war game. Don't get mad! Have fun and get even![/b][/i]

Good Day to everyone. Due to drinking, partying, and a busy Sunday, I was not able to update the status until now. Real life does have its priorities over CN. [size="5"][b]Mid War Analysis:[/b][/size] What started as a major advantage for G-6 has become a very even battle across the board. PLOW is doing an awesome job holding their own against the NS juggernaut.The battle has been epic across the board with major action everywhere. Even yours truly has already been nuked twice as of this update. Over the last 24 hours G-6 has taken more damage and PLOW though in the overall picture, PLOW has taken slightly more damage. This shows the effectiveness of the counter strikes against G-6. The number 1 ranked nation in TE still belongs to G-6, but 3 of the top 4 G-6 nations have dropped in the rankings. On the other side, LE and OP have taken the heaviest losses so far. PS has held their own pretty well and WAPA has actually made some gains increasing in all category. Overall, this has been an extremely hard fought and bloody war for both sides. Members on both sides should be proud as this is quickly becoming an amazing war. Everyone has also been out in full force on the forums as well.

Stats Updating!

[color="#FF0000"][b][size="6"]BREAKING NEWS!!!!!![/size][/b][/color] In the wee hours of the night and into the morning, G-6 has struck! The alliances of OP,PS,LE and wapa are now under heavy fire. Early Analysis shows that the PLOW (PS LE OP WAPA) have an NS advantage and tech, but the equalizing factor are the Nukes. G-6 has twice as many nukes as PLOW has nations. Additionally, their nuke out numbers PLOW 6 to 1. The advantage of the higher NS nations clearly goes to G-6 as they are fighting their second war this round. As of the lower NS alliances, this is currently a wait and see game. In what looks to be a brilliant move, G-6 masking under the numbers if you read between the lines, their flag runners are clearly in a major advantage at this point. After this war ends, even if there are several nations in the top 10 that are not G-6, they will be at a major disadvantage because they will not have the support needed to challenge for the flag. Only time will tell if the Flag is their real goal. __________________________________________________________ [color="#FF0000"][size="5"][b]UPDATE 4:30PM 3/26/2011[/b][/size][/color] As of 16:00 (4pm) on 3/26/2011, The daylight hours show the destruction inflicted by both sides. Currently, the anarchy race is close with G-6 at 25 total anarchy and PLOW at 30. PLOW has taken losses in every category while G-6 has actually grown in tech, nukes, NS, and average nation NS. As it stands now, we are currently about 9 hours away from nuke launches. It is at that time we expect to see G-6 flexing their nuke strength. Any potential flag contenders for PLOW will be no more after this update. Overall, the stats look close but G-6's intent on weakening the top tier members of PLOW is showing signs of success. Should other top tier nations and flag runners NOT involved in this war be worried? Maybe they should be! __________________________________________________________ [size="5"][b]Statistics show the following:[/b][/size] [b]G-6[/b] 101 Total Nations - 80 Active - 787,467 Total NS - 7,797 Average NS - 48.34 Alliance Score - 7 Anarchy - 154,032 Infra - 19,992 Tech - [color="#00FF00"]333 Nukes[/color] 3/26 06:00 Update 101 - 80 - 816,623 - 8,085 - 49.24 - 19 - 150,285 - 20,472 - 347 3/26 15:50 Update 99 - 83 - 818,735 - 8,270 - 49.03 - 25 - 146,641 - 20,527 - 353 [b]Total Change as of 3/26/2011 15:50 - [/b] [b][color="#FF0000"]2 Nations Lost [/color]*[color="#2E8B57"] 31,268 NS Gains * 473 Average NS Gains * 1 Alliance Score Gain [/color]* [color="#FF0000"]18 New Anarchies [/color]*[color="#FF0000"] 7,391 Total Infra Loss [/color]*[color="#2E8B57"] 535 Total Tech Gains * 20 Nuke Gains[/color][/b] [b]____________________________[/b] [b]PLOW (PS, LE, OP, WAPA)[/b] 159 Total Nations - 138 Active - 842,886 Total NS - 5,301 Average NS - 15.07 Avg Alliance Score - 8 Anarchy - 180,348 Total Infra - 25889 Total Tech -[color="#FF0000"] 51 Nukes[/color] 3/26 15:40 Update 157 - 133 - 795,895 - 5069.39 - 15.255 - 30 - 165,335 - 25,581 - 46 [b]Total Change as of 3/26/2011 15:40- [/b] [b][color="#FF0000"]2 Nations Lost * -46991 Total NS Lost * 232 Average NS Lost * -0.18 Average Score Lost * 22 New Anarchy * 15013 Infra Lost * -308 Tech Lost * -5 Nukes Lost[/color][/b] ____________________________ [b] Details about the alliances involves[/b] [b]WAPA - Warring Alliance Of Psychotic Alcoholics [/b] 13 Total Nations - 10 Active - 71,227 Total NS - 5,479 Average NS - 5.21 Alliance Score - 0 Anarchy - 14,376 Infra - 2,665 Tech - 0 Nukes 3/26 06:00 Update 14 - 11 - 74,541 - 5,324 - 5.54 - 0 - 14,603 - 2,690 - 0 3/26 15:40 Update 14 - 11 - 74,541 - 5,324 - 5.54 - 0 - 14,603 - 2,690 - 0 [b]OP - Ordo Paradoxia [/b] 43 Total Nations - 41 Active - 254,180 Total NS - 5,911 Average NS - 17.88 Alliance Score - 2 Anarchy - 56,848 Infra - 6,827 Tech - 23 Nukes 3/26 06:00 Update 43 - 38 - 227,285 - 5,412 - 16.73 - 12 - 50,309 - 6,589 - 18 3/26 15:40 Update 41 - 39 - 226,252 - 5,518 - 16.54 - 12 - 49,047 - 6,571 - 20 [b]LE - Lafayette Escadrille [/b] 47 Total Nations - 44 Active - 279,939 Total NS - 5,956 Average NS - 19.59 Alliance Score - 2 Anarchy - 57,234 Infra - 9,052 Tech - 26 Nukes 3/26 15:40 47 - 42 - 261,412 - 5,562 - 19.05 - 10 - 52,964 - 8,969 - 26 [b]PS - Pork Shrimp[/b] 56 Total Nations - 43 Active - 237,540 Total NS - 4,242 Average NS - 20.14 Alliance Score - 4 Anarchy - 51,890 Infra - 7,345 Tech - 2 Nukes 3/26 06:00 55 - 41 - 233,329 - 4,242 - 19.76 - 4 - 51,890 - 7,345 - 2 3/36 15:40 55 - 41 - 233,690 - 4,249 - 19.89 - 8 - 48,721 - 7,351 - 0
