eyriq Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 [quote name='White Chocolate' timestamp='1299812919' post='2659448'] Having been with Pork Shrimp for two flag run attempts (one serious, one not as much), even if I had no clue what the leadership had in mind (what they have in mind is exactly what Jack said), I'd know it's not a flag run. If anything, there would be far less "whining and complaining" if we were flag running because it draws attention, which is something one does NOT want in those situations. What Pork Shrimp likes is to win. I mean, we're talking an alliance that spent last round beating the snot out of each other JUST to see which one of us is the toughest! aka - who out of all of us in the ultimate winner? What you see as complaining and/or being "pissed off" (and others have mentioned appearing "overly confident" is closer to cheering on team Pork Shrimp. TE is sport. Yeah, sometimes that's done directly - as in "Hail Pork Shrimp, we're the best" and sometimes it's done by poking fun at the other "team." Nothing serious meant by it, either way.

[/quote] Everyone in the tournament was. The rest of us left the AA mid-round to make sure we gave people the chance to attack us rather than attack the tournament players when it became clear no one would touch them. As has been mentioned before, that plan backfired on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The ones participating were beating the snot out of each other. Problem was, PS had way too many people in the role of security - that's how they miscalculated. So a bunch left later, trying to make up for it. I don't know the particulars though, because I was elsewhere at that time. It probably could of been dealt with different, but in their defense - it's not like anyone has a book out there on how to hold an internal tournament within CN:TE Edited March 11, 2011 by White Chocolate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] 50-50, in hindsight it's easy to say we stockpiled nations who had no fighting. But foresight we might have needed them because we had no way of knowing people would actually respect a tournament, let alone pay enough attention to realize we were in a tournament. Besides, it's not like we surprised anyone who was paying attention when we jumped to NB, everyone had over a week to adjust to the change and act accordingly.

lazaraus45 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 speaking of, some round we need a tournament with 1 or 2 fighters from each competing AA, i think enough people would be interested that it'd be easy to get enough AA's to protect it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul711 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) [quote name='lazaraus45' timestamp='1299811531' post='2659408'] where does SF come into this??? and actually you beat SF once, after infiltrating us with a spy no less, you backed down the first time you had the choice, you know that time LE asked you to but we were bigger at the time so instead you sent us screenies of LE asking you to hit us....... but yeah carry on with the "we had to save LE!!!!1!1one!!" line EDIT: that's assuming one could consider doing nothign somehow helping LE??? [/quote] I have no idea what drugs you are on but I wouldn't post while on them. Show proof not accusations. I honestly think you are still holding a grudge against OP for Cowboy knocking you out of the round 13 flag with 30 seconds to go. We laughed so hard that night in our private channel, but you deserved it for launching a rogue against Jolyat.

Sure, paul. Confusion. [/quote] Come now, Confusion, do not tell me that you didn't start planning your failed attack on LE before round 14 was over. Try and deny it. That sounds like a grudge. On another note, why are you posting in our war threads it has nothing to do with you little boy go act tough somewhere else, because I, and I'm quite sure that PS and THP members, are not impressed. Unless its because all the attention is on the fighting and not on you. Edited March 11, 2011 by paul711 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of those: - 1 came from RE; - 2 are new nations (one of those being JonBoy, the other currently at 3 NS) who hadn't been playing previously; - 2 others are long-timers who took a temporary leave of absence to escape bill-lock and then back on it once they had, because RE apparently doesn't do target lists; - Another one has run with us for several rounds, was away and thus remained at 3 NS, built up when he returned and joined PS; - The other four are, as you can see by the nation ages, rerolls.
