thedon125 Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 [quote name='Drai' timestamp='1316719321' post='2806090'] I love the idea, if any outside alliances attacked either that would be really lame. I don't know if I'd participate but I fully support it. [/quote] Well, if it does take off, you could of course support the idea by suggesting MK (and perhaps MK's allies) offer their protection, and of course spreading the word to MK's memberbase. (The above statement goes for anyone reading this thread, just replace "MK" with your own alliance's acronym/name.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happen to agree with you more than them, but if that's really true for them, who cares if they go beat on each other? Happy hunting people.

Kzoppistan Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 This is pretty sweet. You could have daily or weekly standings posted. And place bets. This would also be a good way to train your nations in coordination. I like this a lot. [quote name='Biff Webster' timestamp='1316714719' post='2806052'] So people really like the actual fighting? I always thought it was the winning part. You should just take turns forcing each other to write haikus and beer reviews.

Buzz Lightyear Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 i like the idea, but you are gonna get ppl who dont come to the forums raiding alliances A and B because they see low member count. if you could come up with a way to prevent this, or adjust the rules or something, i could see this working out pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Systemfailure Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 id sign up if i could get duel membership but i dont think GRE does one massive difference this idea has from TE is that the casualties, land, tech all stay with you past a 30 day period (or however long the rounds last) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicninja Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I will wait for the proxy wars to start. A few guys have words here on the OWF. they go to the respective combat alliances to settle it. their pals join in and they bring two friends and they bring two friends and they bring two friends and they bring two friends and they bring two friends until there is a GW being fought on these two AAs. Then I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander shepard Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) It is pointless, there's needs to be a point. I say build up the two alliances until you get about 200 members and then go rogue on some alliances. Here's some steps 1. Get 200 members 2. Attack small alliances until there is no more of them and then attack medium sized alliances and people with no alliance and force them to join you. 3. Build a sizable force. 4. Attack random alliances 5. ?????????? 6. Profit Edited September 23, 2011 by The Normandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Chele Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I definitely cannot see large alliances placing half of their members on alliance A and the other half on alliance B to declare non-nuclear war on each other and fill up their war slots while still being able to send out aid during an actual alliance conflict. Such shenanigans would never occur amongst the honorable alliances of this world. Furthermore, since it has a totally legitimate thread explaining, and predating, the conduct, it would certainly not violate Admin's First Commandment: "Thou shalt not slot-fill".

Craven Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Isn't this what TE is for? If TE didn't exist.. this might be a fun alternative, but most alliances aren't going to be happy about anyone just leaving abruptly to go fight a (some would say pointless) questionable war. If you really want to fight in SE.. A. start something B. Find someone to do wargames with. It isn't as common these days, but there are people who will entertain your need to lose infra.

JazAce Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 How about teams submitted from AA's like 3v3 or 6v6 war games, that last for EXACTLY and only one week, with combatants or spectators putting up money/tech for the team that causes the most damage in set time. Could even have a tournament/knockout structure ie a World Cup of War Games. Spectators could also bet on outcomes. Teams need not necessarily be from AA's and could be formed ad hoc. This same thing could work for your initial 10v10 anyway, but it would be somewhat important that the games have finite end points and that winners get rewarded else it may be pointless. This kind of tournament could be interesting and even evolve to solve problems between AA's that don't necessarily feel they should involve entire alliances or allies in wars.

Londo Mollari Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 [quote name='kriekfreak' timestamp='1316718196' post='2806081'] This isn't the best idea. So basically you are creating some TE version in SE because you don't want to play the game? [/quote] Show me one person currently in alliance leadership who DOES want to play the game. I see nothing but cowards. I like this idea, it shows creativity. We had something called 10.10.10 a year back that was a blast, this is similar to that. Suggestion: Create Alliance A and Alliance B as protectorates of FEAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londo Mollari Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 What would be even better would be if all the active players who like war gathered onto one AA and we spent our days hunting down infrahuggers, all the way from the top on down.
