Essenia Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) So Kaiser and I got together on IRC to draft sides in a purely hypothetical massive global war, inspired by Drai's post here. Thoughts on the sides/quality of the picks/witty comments are desired. *note, to compensate for the TOP being stronger than everyone else by a lot problem, the Polar side was given two extra first round picks. To even the teams TOP got extra picks around the 16th round or so.

in retrospect the bonus given to Polar was too large (should have been one first round pick, not two). This was balanced out some by weird picks I made in the later rounds including reaches for NPO, GOD, Kronos and BAPS. The final stats are: Team TOP, Coach Kaiser TOP, Fark, Sparta, MHA, RoK, TOOL, TSO, NEW, STA, Legion, GATO, RIA, Valhalla NV, NSO, AirCastle, PC, The International, OMFG, FoB, MCXA, GPA, GR, LoSS, OBR, Invicta Nations: 4636 NS: 126 Million Nukes: 30,824 ANS: 27,196 Team Polar, Coach Essenia Polar, MK, IRON, Gromlins, FOK, NPO (lol), VE, Umbrella, FAN, GOD, Athens, Argent, CSN, WAPA, RnR, BAPS, Kronos, Vanguard, MASH, UPN, MA, iFOK, TDO, FEAR, Molon Labe, DT Nations: 4998 NS: 134 Million Nukes: 32,053 ANS: 27,005 Edited December 9, 2009 by Essenia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banksy Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 How on earth did you take so long to pick FAN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 This was a pretty fun little experiment. In retrospect I think I made a few mistakes in my early picks, namely picking TSO really high, and perhaps RoK a little high as well. I should have picked FAN rather than TSO, and maybe WTF at the very end and the sides would have been almost dead even. I'm not too sure about picked Sparta and MHA so high, as I think there are alliances that are better at fighting than them, but I needed something to counter Polar and IRON's middle. I think Essenia's team is a little better than mine, but it all worked out pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vilien Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 We never really planned that far. I would assume that these were the final sides. It would only be fair to let the micros get a taste of the action. Perhaps a lottery could be set up to slot smaller alliances into either side.

Gopherbashi Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) Should've just had Polar pick first, rather than what you guys did. At least we didn't get picked after GPA! Edited December 8, 2009 by Gopherbashi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, that's still too much of an advantage to TOP. The two first rounds in a row was excessive though.

Kaiser Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Can trades be made? And Vilien's micro-alliance lottery isn't a bad idea.edit: IRON, MK, NpO both on the same side is lame But, we should do this war in 5 days. edit #2: Kaiser.... GPA?

President Obama Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Nah, that's still too much of an advantage to TOP. The two first rounds in a row was excessive though. 2 fourth round picks would have evened it significantly(Could have picked RoK along with NPO? Pretty good.)
