JimKongIl Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) Hopefully no bias of mine is evident in the questions. I am curious to see the results. Feel free to elaborate on your vote. Edited September 26, 2009 by JimKongIl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonewolfe2015 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Well, I am biased in best embodying TE obviously, because I envisioned MHA as the type of alliance I'd like to see people play TE as. Here's how I voted (very much like this thread btw) I feel treaties are in poor taste in TE. Treaties are for alliances who can't trust or be trusted themselves. Because what is the point of a treaty other than to tell everyone you have allies and/or to try and scare people? MHA openly embraces the stance that we hold zero treaties in TE. As long as I lead, we will never hold a treaty signed by myself or anyone else in MHA. Why does this work? Because of honor, if someone you are very close friends with, keep up strong relations, ends up on the wrong side of a war that was in poor taste you realize that you should do the right thing and step in. Mix some stuff up and get the military machine rolling. Most people will say honor has no place in a war game, but having absolutely no values also has no place. There is a fine line, and every war is different than the next one. Most hated... well we'll leave that to the stats to show where I mostly likely voted.

HeinousOne Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Are treaties good for TE? I would say no. That does not mean I think alliances working together in TE is a bad thing but having standing treaties here to me doesn't make much sense as it does not allow for you and your alliance to set your policies to the quickly changing landscape of TE. Since we at Frostbite have zero treaties right now I will just go ahead and say we are the best AA for TE. As far as the worst? I didn't really have one to be honest so I just picked one.

Emperor Stranger Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 This poll is obviously rigged. It's just a matter of who can get the most members to vote what way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh please... you just are whining about anything these days aren't you? It's a good discussion, please don't degrade it. Even if the polls come out a bit skewed you can't beat a good topic to talk about the nature of TE these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimKongIl Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 This poll is obviously rigged. It's just a matter of who can get the most members to vote what way. How exactly is it rigged? I set it up and tried to exclude any bias from the questions. All 2610 nations in TE have one vote and are free to participate. It is natural that people may tend to vote for their own alliance as best, mirror their AAs stance on treaties and vote most hated for AAs they have had negative experiences with. That doesn't mean it is rigged. They are just voting their true opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember starting a pretty fair topic about TE, it still degenerated into a pile of !@#$. How exactly is it rigged? I set it up and tried to exclude any bias from the questions.

That doesn't mean it is rigged. They are just voting their true opinion. It means that no matter what, the poll won't be correct. Half the people who will vote probably won't have real opinions on the matter. Hell, a good portion might not even play in TE. If anything, each alliance should be given one vote, not as many as they can get their members to vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not interested in how the alliances would vote. Their opinions would be evident by their stance. I wanted to know how the players would vote. Using your logic every poll on the forum is rigged. I am highly skeptical anyone was told how to vote by their alliance. This is just a poll. Edited September 26, 2009 by JimKongIl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Greenberg Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) They are not good at all. If you like diplomacy so much get involved with SE. The best alliance is either MHA or Frostbite because both have no treaties. The worst alliance is Black.

The best alliance is either MHA or Frostbite because both have no treaties. The worst alliance is Black. And why do you say that Black is the worst alliance? Because we have 2 treaties? 1 which is to protect someone from unfair punishment of 1 member? Seriously, if you have a problem with ME, don't take it out on my alliance. Do you ever see me talking crap about Frostbite? Or PU? Or any of the other 25 alliances you were in last round? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
