Bye everybody! Toodle-ooo

[Ferrie]

It's just too damn bad what this game has become. We have(myself included) become a bunch of self righteous, hypocrites. We whine about being down-declared, then do the very thing we hate a couple weeks later, using the justification that two wrongs make it right. I don't expect anyone, or anything to change, because after all, this is who we are as a society. Just putting it out there so players may remember how much fun this game used to be, and how far it's fallen. This is my farewell thread. I can't go out alone, though. So with my departure, I'm giving the last couple nations to curbstomp me a couple goodbye kisses. Big smooches to you, TPC. And toodle-ooo to the rest of you. It's been a hellova' ride.

 

Salute!

I must agree those days were glorious  ^_^ Sad to see you go, but best of luck to you  B-)

[DevilDog]

Know that you will be missed but never forgotten my friend.

See you on the other side.

 

May the best times of your past,

be the worst times of your future.

Won't even buy soldiers...

[wasso]

Well said my friend . 

 

Anyway , we're only 490 nations now . I'm not sure where this is going .

[Ferrie]

Won't even buy soldiers...

 

Why buy soldiers just so you guys can smash me to the ground? I'd like to be around long enough for ALL my nukes(minus the ones you steal, of course) to find their targets. During my last war with TPC I couldn't even attack you guys due to my odds at full deployment being at like 22%. You guys were massive! In the old days, I could have used underdog attacks to chip away. but due to people whining about someone half their size having a chance to do some damage in a war, that has all but vanished. Sure you can still get an underdog attack in here, and there.... But its not worth losing the 200k for half the damage on a miniscule chance that it'll even work. Yet another example of how the game has changed. 

 

Anyways.... This is way more fun. So you're saying your guys aren't enjoying the other side of this?  :smug:

Underdog attacks haven't changed. 

[Ferrie]

So says you. Being that you're a TPC lapdog, you wouldn't agree with me if I made the most accurate of assumptions... Thanks for the opinion, though.

Most definitely.

I'd agree with you if you were right but your not. Underdog attacks work still. Edited November 22, 2013 by paul711

Yep OP is a TPC lapdog... 

[Ferrie]

I never said they didn't work still, Paul. I simply meant the use of them has changed. The cap has fluctuated over the years.  Even if you get off a successful raid now, with 10 infra destroyed, and 1 tech destroyed/stolen, you still drop 100/200k. Defeating the purpose of the attack IMO.

If you are on the way out why would you care how much damage is done to you?

 

And no, Its not particularly fun to fight someone who has decided to turtle from the beginning. :)

dropped cash is 100k (assuming you have some spare cash)+more money depending on how many soldiers/tanks you lost. I don't see 200k underdogs happening, unless the other guy is at like 6k infra and you sent 1 soldier and 3k tanks or something against him.

C'mon little buddy... Obviously the more damage I take, the less tech I'll have, and the less effective my nukes will be. It's common sense. By losing ground battles, I forfeit tech, AND money. Now, with me having an ax to grind on the way out, it's a logical, and effective strategy.

Just wanted to make clear that the bolded was true. Its not obvious from your initial rant that you had an axe to grind with us in particular and my initial reaction was that you just wanted some action on the way out.

What nation are you, Shinnra? Your nation name turns up nothing.

Ferrie, we haven't coincide on these bloodied fields of TE... but i want to say "Farewell" to you,man...!   :)

 

That finger protruding from the right eye of your Avatar(Picture?), that there told and still does tells the gaming crowd what to

 

expect from a mature player in the mist of the startled company of younger CNers... !   Ah. and thank you for your idea (some

 

tournaments ago) of a prudent time off for Christmas and the Holidays...    something that now a days has taken life for good with

 

the ADMIN "Go Ahead" this year...   

 

So long, and   'til when we coincide, somewhere , around these CN's sometimes tortuous pathways,ferrie...! ;) :lol1:

Thanks HD. Glad I could contribute something to the game I spent so many years playing. 

 

With my last nuke having left the silo, I'm afraid this is the end. Shoutout to Admiral Piette, of Lusting. We did it pookie. We did it. Of 756 existing wars this war is ranked #1 in destruction.    :ehm:

Good job. I was initially quite annoyed that I might have to burn 10%, or maybe even 15% of my warchest on the rebuild. However, I think I'll make part of that back on the bill reduction.

[Ferrie]

...and which one were you, Einer? Since you TPC members like to hide.  :popcorn:

[Overlord Shinnra]

Btw I'm admiral piette ;)

I figured it out. Thanks for owning it, though. cheers, my friend.
