Thomas Jackson Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 [quote name='bigwoody' date='28 February 2010 - 12:20 PM' timestamp='1267377864' post='2208465'] That option is referring to Sparta's tendency to seek out and buddy up to the side in power. If there is enough lead time for them to realize a beat down is coming their way, they'll switch sides so fast your head will spin. [/quote] If that's the case, then it's up to CN as a whole to dictate when Sparta gets theirs, and based on the past, someone will allow them to do it again.

Tromp Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) Alterego, are you so worked up you thought it was a good idea to post this in an OOC part of this forum? I'd just like to note that not everyone agrees with the assumption that "Sparta deserves a beatdown".

[/quote] Sparta has had a piss poor military since the unjust war, the only reason anyone in TPF gave them praise at the time for their "fighting skill" was because we were TOLD to. By and large, back then, everyone was simply laughing at how badly you guys were doing. Now, shoot forward to today, and I hear the same stories, how bad sparta fought, how ill-prepared they were... Dude, don't dare people to fight you if, in two years time, you haven't learned a thing from your mistakes. Just because your allies were superior, does not mean that YOU were.

Lord GVChamp Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Threatening alliances with Karma-like curbstomps and terms is a GREAT way to make them become more paranoid and start attacking on flimsier pretexts with heavier terms. Which might suit the aims of some alliances since they have a political score to settle, but certainly isn't what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) Uh oh. Is the big bad Sparta ruining the game again? I knew it. Down with sparta before we get a chance to cripple/disband a few alliances, and insert a few viceroys. EDIT: Voted less then 3 months. We deserve Satan's wrath asap.

kpcurley Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Sparta entered this war because they and their allies were attacked agressively.

You really arent good at this provoking business, you could just drop it now. Listen, I know you feel proudly about your alliance and that is grand. You will though, have to accept that there are people out there which do not take your alliance overly serious-- take you just as a clumsy sidekick. They base that partly on their personal experience with your alliance as well as on the experience of others. We all have our own point of views. You will have to learn to live with that. If you want to change some people's opinions, you will not prove a different point by weak attempts at provocation, but if you perform differently in the future then from what people perceive you.

Will they ever get the beatdown they deserve?

However its very clear from this and the TOOL surrender that dislike for Sparta is coming from people on both sides of the war and people who were not even in it. Your alliance with its side flipping, continued poor war performace, and demands for heavy reps for the work you allies have done have led Sparta to this place.

Believland Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Sparta is way too irrelevant for anyone to want to beat them down though. Maybe if they can get themselves in another Tempest type of situation. Then that's the only way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
