Dew is back this round and we are still hoping to see Daddy create a nation as well.

[quote name='Enzos' timestamp='1280498482' post='2394980'] I like this idea a lot, it would take care of the unfair advantage people who can be on at update have. [/quote] I've suggested this numerous times. I/we have brought in all kinds of guys that won't play SE because they find it boring. They are looking for WAR games and this is not a bad one. The issue that continues to drive them away after a round or two is the update time. It truly needs to either: 1 - rotate through the clock (23 or 25 hour day) 2 - updates noon and midnight game time 3 - each player chooses their update time when they create their nation All three would go a long way to keep the wargamer types involved in TE. New blood not drawn from SE in the main. Also suits a more international player base which could/would I think lead to growth in the player base. Though as mentioned - no-one reads these suggestions anyway

I too try and bring in as many as I can but there usually don't last too long because of the uodate time and advantage being awake at update gives you. If admin wants this thing to grow, the day needs to be either 23 or 25 hours long so everyone gets the advantage at some point every round.

Jonboy, for the most part I agree, my only issue was trying to paint TPF as the underdog here. I really don't think so. And yes, you guys will give us a great fight! no doubt about it. ANd to be honest, yes you did pick up eight new fighters, and most of them were built up and ready to go... and at the end of the day, thats just the way it goes. Lots of folks want to fight LE, lots want to help TPF defend. Thats all good. The sides are set, let's see how it transpires. It is a pretty fair fight... lets see how it works out. next time give us an alliance of 150 fighters and YOU blitz us with 70. I think we can make the come back as I hope you guys will too!

If it isn't the alliance you already belong to.... you should really rethink being there..... no?

never by 1000 and yes, you gained 8 since the war started... them's the facts jack. ANd you are right 61 active vs 127... shame on LE... definately took advantage of you there. Nice of you to show up though!

[quote name='Burning Glory' date='09 February 2010 - 11:14 AM' timestamp='1265660044' post='2169001'] Sorry man, you may not like it, but its the truth and the facts are verifiable BG. [/quote] Sorry man, those ain't the facts. Every alliance has folks that are inactive or unavailable. Every single one. Can't be helped. You have twice the nations, you've picked up 8 nations since this war started (need the help?), you had more total infra and tech than LE. In short, LE had the blitz, 7 nukes and a 300 point higher average NS. Give us a break, that's not a huge advantage when a 71 nation alliance takes on a 150 nations. I like this fight, but TPF ain't no underdog here, no matter how you try and paint it. And it was way too early for you to start the whining... take a page from Clash, he has always been classy, every single time he has stomped me!

Always nice to see you guys around! Good Luck!

Define "win"

TPF - make sure you save the recipes FARK sends you... some of them are pretty good! Good luck guys and have fun, I've enjoyed fighting with and getting stomped by both alliances! I think this is the first round LE hasn't fought TPF. Feels kinda weird...

ah, c'mon Jim... you know you guys were hitting our nukes and our tech to goad us to attack you before we did anything. And we sanctioned your members and took nukes to goad you into making the first ground war move. Both alliances knew what was happeneing, it was just a matter of who pushed who to move first. Oddly, the big alliance caved first. Too bad, I was thinking a spy vs spy week would have been excellent play! Something new and totally different. In any case, well played, it is and was fun and will be as well! (edited for fat fingers)

possibly... if you look at pretty minor sanctions for a blue team alliance, but in reality OP is the aggressor in all their wars. take a look. not that that's a bad thing, ....

and your point Jim? Sorry Tib, my first thought was that Jim posted that. If you have it all post it. Your assumptions of us are right... politics... not so much

That took a LOT of work! ^^^

I now have three new recipes...french toast I already knew, but the soup sounds cool. Simmering on the back of the stove as we speak. WTFG Fark, you guys are amazing!

LE cadet program ends after 15 days at the beginning of the round. We cut off membership at that point and so far have limited ourselves to 100 max nations.

Looking into it.... it is unusual that we can't rein our members in quickly.

I guess everyone puts their own spin on things, don't they? LE got hammered by TPF, nuked to death! We held on so when the 7 days expired we could still make a showing for ourselves. When the original wars were ending we were declaring on TPF and they on us as fast as we could though admittedly only on their lower half as thats all we could reach at that point (NS wise) 5 Aztek raided (?) us in the last 4 days of the round... 20% of your alliance at that time. You took advantage. Fair enough. We decided to say hello this round. I'll admit it went further than anticipated, mostly because I chose not to DOW or talk to Aztec leadership. In that I was wrong. I should have contacted Aztek leadership. Oh well, here we are, lets have some fun! We're dancing gentlemen, today WAPA has lead!

WTG WAPA! We (LE) are glad you have decided to join the party! I'll admit, these forums are off limits to all LE members except me to post on. We read, but choose not to post as we tend to get banned or time outs when we think we are being humerous. Safer this way Looking forward to seeing your skills at fightig WAPA. Some of the Aztec guys have been refusing peace from day one and fighting back defensively extremely well... amazing well in some cases. My mistake, I thought this little war would be over in 24 hours. The original thought was one big hit and just let it go. I have to tip my hat to the Aztec nations. Again, WAPA, welcome to the dance! It will be FUN!

That is nice to hear/read guys. LE tends not to talk too much as we are either on suspension or are hesitant to press admin. Apparently we are barely welcome. Still, a great game and we enjoyed every minute. WTFG TPF! I bet this will hurt

Some of TPF are making an amazing stand.... out gunned and out manned. Much like we were last round. I salute them and wish them the best! They certainly can fight.

If you increase income then the expense of all items should rise as well. At this time income and expense is the same for everyone on a relative basis. We all play by the same rules. Leave cash and expenses as they are, use them as best you can. Personally, I'd make spys far more expensive again... it should cost your nation growth to invest heavily in spys. 100,000 per spy would produce some relatively weak nations that can spy you real good. And other nations that can kick the crap outta you whilst being spyed. And Alliances that build fire teams with a mix of fighters and spy nations. Increase the possibilities, don't restrict them. Give us too little money for all the toys available, not enough to buy them all. There's always winners and losers in wars, personally I have the loser part down solid. And in 2 months I get to try it all again!

High NS and low causalities means you should stick to SE not TE. Aggressive should mean you get out there and fight.

And again I agree totally.... except for the forums part. I'm not sure other than irritating folks or setting up sides that it really plays a part... though I suppose setting up sides is definately a part of TE. Again, I would expand their powers and make them MORE valuable so everyone went after senators and Alliances were forced to defend them. A whole new dynamic to the game. Damn Thai, yer killin me, I never agree with anyone!
