This thread is defunct imo, all the fort owning towns are allied to each other, there are no clear lines of demarcation at all! :unsure:
Example 1:
The Green Berets
Forts owned or shared: (approximately)
33
Shared with:
Ok Corral
FoD
Federals
Chromosphere
Coronado
The Abyss
BoB
Eagle Mountain
Tombstone
Bandits
Black/Blue Berets
Silverado
Talonia
Mount Olympus
SKY
AP
Die Hard
Myriad
Black Ruby
For some inexplicable reason GB have yet to share a fort with Dragonia, Reapers Ranch, Sweeer, The Town or Gauchos Locos afaik. But with that list plus those five, you have 99% of the fort owning towns. All those towns share the forts willy-nilly with each other.
Example 2:
The Abyss
Forts owned or shared: (approximately)
20
Shared with:
Bandits
Green Berets
Chromosphere
Coronado
OK Corral
Mount Olympus
Tombstone
Dragonia
Black/Blue Berets
Talonia
Corleone
AP
SKY
I could go on all day but you get the idea
Now nearly all fort owning towns maintain that there is no problem with fortfighting in Briscoe (enlightened self-interest
), but a look at the battles section of Westforts.com tells the true story.
Only 2 battles in November went beyond 37 rounds, out of 79!
Only 9 battles went beyond 30 rounds, out of 79!!
An amazing 54 battles didn't go beyond 15 rounds, out of 79!!!
As I've stated before, some blame for this must be apportioned to small towns digging the hatchet when they have no chance at all of winning, but a large part of the responsibility lies with the leaders of the fort-owning towns
to get off their asses and fix this, someway somehow
After all, where's the xp and fun in crappy fort battles? Seems forts only purpose in Briscoe are as deluxe hotels and in wasting everyones time.
