Innerspeaker Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 [quote name='Grumpdogg' timestamp='1282528197' post='2427130'] I would like to see an Echelon v TSO grand final, but I don't think that's possible from the draw [/quote] Echelon will lose in one of the next few rounds, they just can't match up for WAE against some of the heavy hitters like UPN and Invictorectum. TSO, on the other hand, is definitely still pushing through. I have them getting to the Final Four iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred von Tirpitz Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Yeah well, the luck of the draw put Echelon against Legion in round three. No matter who wins that, the voters as a whole stand to lose. Also glad to see NSO's lead being a thing of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Paradise Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I don't see why you people keep posting, or at least keep posting things other than "Sal's right. Discussion Over."

[quote name='Opethian' timestamp='1282524812' post='2427084'] Whichever alliance has the highest percentage of members who actually use the term "Worst Alliance Ever" on a regular basis in a lame attempt to criticize others is, in fact, the [i]actually[/i] worst alliance ever.

Kzoppistan Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) Well that was stupid. What a waste of my time; the title should be "The most unpopular alliances as ranked by a few people who may or may not be clustered together in their biases. Also, they can't sit at our lunch table." I would actually like to see some one tackle this idea from a more objective angle, using the scientific method and measurable benchmarks.

Arrnea Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) Considering that this is a poll on MK's boards, clearly the winner is going to be the SOS Brigade. Biased poll is biased. Edited August 23, 2010 by Arrnea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardus Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 [quote name='RustyNail' timestamp='1282527396' post='2427118'] Any alliance nominated should be proud (some more so than other I'd dare say) because you are doing something right. If you are making everyone happy all the time, you are a lapdog and weakling and need to follow a certain Siths advice and just disband. However, if you are pissing people off and causing tongues to wag...yer doin it right my friends. Note: The quality of said 'doin it right' is not indicative of a good alliance, just that they are not completely worthless. [/quote] To the contrary of your implication, Rusty, the reason many alliances got past the first round is [i]because[/i] they are considered lapdogs and weaklings. Notice that NPO, despite being an obvious target for disdain from those who frequent our forums, left in round one. NSO will likely fall to MHA by virtue of the fact that NSO's failures are the result of action, rather than inaction. Neutrals suffered intense scrutiny early on before falling aside to make space for non-neutral alliances that should probably just go ahead an call themselves neutral. This is not condemnation due to controversial action, but rather due to perceived incompetence, cowardice, lack of success, and length of existence (old failures edge new failures, all other factors held equal). Not all criticism is to be worn as a badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
