Banksy Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 [quote name='memoryproblems' timestamp='1282558917' post='2427598'] Interesting, but doesn't help the bias issue, considering the nature of this contest, the people who knew about the nominations and the voting were not as anti-Athens to the same proportion as the general population of this game.[/quote] I think when it comes to deciding who the "Worst Alliance Ever" is there is going to be bias regardless of who is running the bracket tbqh. It's such a subjective question. And I think you underestimate the number of NpO posters on MK's boards~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearHead Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 [quote name='uaciaut' timestamp='1282555191' post='2427542'] i don't know about you but the guy before with "scientific method and measurable benchmarks" was just hilarious. Shame he didn't post that before you were knocked out though, would've given you a fighting chance. [/quote] If MK were to be judged based on your posts, I'm pretty sure they would have gotten alot further too. That said, I've got this feeling you're just another one of those mindless drones that picks out five words he doesn't like and bases an entire judgment on that. Furthermore, you probably wouldn't understand that Kzoppistan has at least double your IQ, since you, like I just explained, only read 5 words from one of his 2000+ posts.

Ryuzaki Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 [quote name='memoryproblems' timestamp='1282558917' post='2427598'] Why would I go and do something like that? [/quote] So that you won't look like a fool when someone points it out. Although apparently you don't care about that. [quote name='memoryproblems' timestamp='1282558917' post='2427598'] Interesting, but doesn't help the bias issue, considering the nature of this contest, the people who knew about the nominations and the voting were not as anti-Athens to the same proportion as the general population of this game. [/quote] Actually I would think the anti-Athens population is very well represented on our boards, considering they got 15 votes against TSO.

Tarikmo Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) [quote name='Gairyuki' timestamp='1282531504' post='2427169'] 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. [/quote] The Final Four? Or The Elite Four?

Dexomega Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 [quote name='Voytek' timestamp='1282536008' post='2427251'] My favourite bit is where he implied BAPS is a better alliance than GOONS.

Daikos Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I'm disappionted in our poor showing. I blame it entirely on SCM's lack of OWF posting. At least we can say we are officially worse than NPO now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) I really am amused that TIO is actually in that lineup as a potential WAE based (most likely) entirely on the fact we have MvP. Is that really as bad as a few alliances that have an entire history of fail? At least we weren't worse than OO Shame you ranked us the same as them though Edited August 23, 2010 by Skippy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That would make him, in your eyes, a Worst Player rather than the whole alliance being "Worst Alliance" though would it not? If it were multiple people from the same alliance filling all your categories for hatred to MvP, then it would be different. Also, is this comparing OOC or IC actions? Because you can't really compare your dislike for one person's action outside of the game, with an alliance wide failure throughout its history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because this is the first time I've quoted him doesn't mean this is the first time I've seen him. You see, the difference between my judgment (which was actually mocking his judgment), and his judgment, was that mine was based on the one or two dozen posts I've seen of him over time, while he specifically targeted 5 words out of one post. Yeah. You, on the other hand, sir, tend to have much better qualities than your friend here. He doesn't deserve your defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoppistan Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) For the record, I found the commentary to be the best part, especially when you get to see what !@#$ stains some people really are when they're away from their two-facing on the CN forums. But people are what they do so I generally try to avoid being caught sitting around a pissy alliance-bashing-circle like a bunch of harpy !@#$%*es with their panties in a knot. But at least it was entertaining to read, so kudos to MK. I'm only really !@#$%*ing because I didn't see my name anywhere. Oh well, there's always next year. And, the thing about an objective data driven (not subjective opinion drivel) determination, I'd like to see that, as it would warm the cockles of my cold scientific heart. *Edit: Also, s'up, GearHead.
