Cobalt Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 [quote name='Taget' timestamp='1280502824' post='2395043'] Now clearly (and this is unfortunate) the non-aligned in CN don't have any chance whatsoever anymore. But to say no one is in their alliance for the community is rather foolish since there are so many viable alliances to choose from. I've had the unfortunate task of merging alliances and the first thing I looked at was community. Not treaties or "sides." Not power. Because this game is a very long term game that tends not to be very exciting. It is community that makes it worthwhile. It trumps the random bits of infra one can buy back quickly enough after a war anyway. Of course to say you looked for the most powerful alliance is ridiculous because there are a number of alliances more powerful or loaded with stats than the NSO. That is not to say the NSO is a bad alliance or weak. It isn't. It's a pretty good choice. And you must've seen something in their style, the way they operated, and yes their community that attracted you to it. [/quote] Your sarcasm detector appears to be broken.

Erwin Schrodinger Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Krunk, I truly am hiding. But not from the raiders... but from... dare I say it out loud... this game (on alliance forums, IRC, etc). I have tried quitting before, but it appears I cannot escape. I've recently turned to alcohol to cope, but I just find myself getting into more and more trouble, and getting sucked deeper into the system. What do I do?

Valtamdraugr Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I admit it.. I joined Ragnarok because of the ridiculous number of treaties they hold.

BamaBuc Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 If the OP's assumption were correct, there would probably be about 15 huge alliances in the world. And someone probably would have just made a thread about how most of them needed to split into several smaller ones since they were so fat, complacent, and unwieldy that they were slowing down the game and killing the drama. That's assuming that Krunk is serious and isn't using 12 layers of sarcasm to make sone convoluted point about LoSS. Never can tell. -Bama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
