LE seemed to be doing pretty good. Go take a look at the stats. BG was the one wanting to end it after 3 days to avoid getting countered properly.

The guys who got to top position via other nations hard work are acting like tyrants and posting cry more memes? Who would have expected that? also you don't know what ad hominem means

Thats a real nice idea. This would demand more alliance management too, but I doubt it will be done, as it would probably be deemed too "complicated" for newer players. So far the only argument against having 12 hour updates is that people might leave due to too much fighting?

So when MHA and fark were swapping places, you would have hit fark if they slipped into No.1 again? Sure you would Its a little disappointing that you spoiled a very even fight between no.1+no.2 for this drag-em-out affair, but it was incredibly obvious that LE wouldnt attack their Initiative buddies. Well, you handed them the title, congrats!

Wheres all the alliances who love to "stand up for the little guy"? Where are BW/LE/CDT/MASH now? As far as I can see it from the war screens: UW got raided 10 times by TPF between 26-28th. They counter-declare twice. On the 29th, they get hit by 8 more TPF nations in the name of "defense" Total Declarations- TPF 18 UW 5. Seems pretty cut and dried to me. Big guy raids the little guy, little guy responds and gets curb-stomped. Now we have the leader of TPF saying "I really think you didn't want peace, but instead wanted to war :/" You guys really buy this garbage?

Looks like this topic has annoyed TPF as they are pretty much rolling LPE now. Another raid went bad, and they x3ed the defender (again). Don't try defend against tech raids people its the ole Murder Inc doctrine

So you'll keep the block and since you guys didnt actually manage to remove MHA from the top, you are just gonna wait a week or so and attack again? Impressive!

Somone from the Fellowship should put a muzzle on this guy, hes quite the embarassment.

Goons all left due to boredom. When there was about 20 left in the next round, Murder Inc felt very brave and conducted a war against the stragglers. Last I heard. they invaded a game called seapowers and broke the thing in two weeks causing the whole alliance to get banned and multiple resets. TE could use a good Goony shake-up I think

How on earth you got the good people in LE to sign up to this I'll never know

Pretty obvious that its gonna stagnate when this war is over too. The big bad block wont fight each other, and the rest have been damaged too much to mount a good challenge. Was a nice stomp by the fellas though.

This is a great idea. Those of us on the bad-side of the update time would have a more level playing field, alliances would be able to split attack teams into different time zones, gameplay would be more dynamic and frantic. Seems like a win-win situation. Any arguments against this?

Someone claims control of your alliance and you are willing to "negotiate" with them?

Relax fella. Aztec have a grand total of 2 nukes, you guys have 40. OJ have 26 (my mistake). I said OJ and LE would have been a closer fight, quite simple really. Doesnt matter anyway, a little war never hurt anyone, yaay

LE are tough as nails when it comes to blitzes. However is somewhat disingenuousOrange Juice would have a been a better fight no? Methinks those 40 nukes put that off. Anyway, ball is rolling now, more war!

Nice job from TPF helping out WAPA and its other treaty partners

God forbid theres any actual fighting going on here. Better check those treaties and sign your way out of that!

Wouldnt that mean that everyone would just sort trades and tax stack until its time to fight? Big wars are a nice idea, but 3 months is way too long. I could see the odd/even thing being done by giving everyone a pile of money and making the tournament last 2 weeks or something

I'm afraid you are incorrect. Forgottenonez raided an 11 day inactive guy. We still have the thread in the forum if you'd like to see it. But lets not dance around it again. Ceasefire is debatable, but it looks like an LE guy bombed someone a few hours after it was called, not to mention the nukes. But hey, keep denying everything, we wouldnt want any bad PR. Some people might think you're having fun

Who's complaining? Looking at this forum, every second post you tell us all about how you got nuked. Boo-hoo. Your alliance is giving the talk of justice, honour and "whats right". You say only raid alliances bigger than you? Who should MHA raid? What about GDA? You want some sort of hierarchy of who its ok to raid? Thats ridiculous. You guys have played the poor victim since this thing started, thats the big stink. One tech raid on an inactive nation and you act like someone ZIed half your alliance. So enough with "Yeah, we're picking on you 'cuz you're smaller," One person. One. No-one was trying to farm Blackwater. As for my other quote, that was for Metal, not you (Someone should give that guy a raise, hes one top notch propaganda minister). Haha, what? I don't know how you come up with this idea that I am upset. When I check my little nation and see some numbers changed either up or down, it makes no difference to anything. In TE I find its the big nations who get all uppity about fighting more than the smaller ones. One of your tech raiders that attacked me threatened to nuke me because I had the gall to CM him :lol: There is no double-talk. Unlike you, I don't complain about people fighting in a war game! I also like you you deftly skipped around the fact that your coalition nuked people during the ceasefire. You cant really talk of honour when things like that go on. I have a question for Blackwater while I'm here. Do you guys never raid anyone? If this war hadn't kicked off, would you still be building away? I'm guessing your M.O. must be to help other nations attack (or defend as you guys call it) big ones or something, because wouldnt it be a little dull just building until reset and finishing in 20-somethingth place? Has TE has become a bit more interesting since this war started for you? What with the constant forum posting, coalition formation, update blitzes, hanging at update in case of retaliations, peace talks etc. I imagine you must find it a more fun game. Even just a little?

Oh please, give it a rest already with the high-road talk. If everyone sat around and didnt attack anyone like in the Blackwater bizarro verion of TE, how fun would that be? Like it or not, your rhetoric about "honour" and "ethics" would serve only to stagnate the game. Some play the way it is supposed to be played while others, well I don't know what they do, play for 2 months and congratulate themselves for not tech-raiding anybody? The fact is that the alliances you got in your coalition are attacking for tech and land, under a pretense of helping-the-little-guy. Look at how angry they get if you soldier sell on them. TE as it should be. PS- How many honour points do your coalition get for their bombing raids and nuclear attacks during the ceasefire? The problem with faking the high ground is that you very often end up looking like a hypocrite.

“alliances don’t raid alliances.” Argument=Dead. That isnt true at all. If bigger dont raid smaller then what should MHA do all day, bake cakes? TE is for fighting and fun, not for round after round of peace. Take a look at the wars across the globe, alliances raid each other all the time. Usually either the raider gets hit by 1 or 2 as a response, or he doesnt, and everyone peaces out. Blackwater of course is different. They go make a big stink over a single raid on a nation that is inactive. If you guys had your way, we'd only be allowed to log in, buy infra, go raid those poor "none" guys and hold hands with other alliances. When some numbers on your screen turn into other numbers its not the end of the world. When did TE turn into such SERIOUS BUSINESS?
