in rebuttal to helens rant/whine
1) instead of lumping entire alliances vs yourself, at least take the time to look at how many fort fighters vs how many fort fighters.
2) fort battles havent been a walkover. they started becoming that much more lopsided when you started complaining in every county that you were in, and eventually i guess the lemmings listened
3) define fight fairly when i know that you yourself have employed spies in the past. you. not your alliance. you.
4) ruining peoples fun...does that mean because on one particular world you are not the completely over dominating force, and arent liking how it feels?
5) talking about betrayal and yaddayaddayadda....what exactly is it called when a founder walks away when a town/alliance is failing?
Rat, since this is all you ever hear anyways:
1) Whine whine whine whine whine.....
2) Whine whine whine whine whine whine whine.....
3) Whine whine whine whine whine..... Whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine..... Whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine.....
4) Whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine.....
5) Whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine whine.....
To those that actually read this:
1) Take a look at the last battle at Dirty Deeds... Your side had at least another 40K hp there. Most of your side is skilled for fort battles. Plus you have the bloated tank twins (10K+ hp each) on your side.
2) I did not complain in every county... I was having a discussion with someone and you interrupted. You didn't see a 4:1 ratio as being a tad unbalanced where I tend to think it is.
3) As I mentioned before, I had only "employed spies" after the enemy had admitted they were receiving information from us from 3 sources. We were trying to find out who the spies were so we could get rid of them. This same enemy joined our side of the fort battles and joined our chats to try and mess up the battle for us. No I do not think spying is honourable... but how else can you get rid of those who do use them? Now that we are finding the information the enemy spies get isn't helping our enemies win battles anyways, we have stopped "employing spies". And before you decide to accuse me... No, I don't have any spies in Arizona.
Fighting fairly would be having reasonably equal sides... Not the 4:1 ratio we have now. And despite the larger numbers you have, your side constantly called multis against our side. So we would hardly have any HP or people left in the later battles... then you just walk in and take the fort. We lost a lot of forts to those multis. Yes, we did have the "day of multis", but that was a one time situation. We were actually tired of your side constantly attacking us... We never got a breather. That was in retaliation. I prefer a real 1 to 1 battle. Full sides... and going the strategy route rather than the "pile the tanks on the flag" route.
4) Not at all... Infact quite the contrary... If I were in your position (with all the tanks you have and about 1200+ people available), I'd be bored. There's no challenge in it. The only world that I'm in a "dominating force" we have battled it out with the enemy on very even footing. Then they started the daily mega-multis and then a whole bunch of people from both sides left that world. You thought that one day was bad? Try having about 10 battles almost every day... all within a few hours so you can't get to them all... you have to spread your troops thin. People on both sides got tired of showing up at non-battles... Everyone tried to reason with those who kept calling the multis, but they wouldn't listen. This nearly killed that world.
5) You mean my leaving Arizona? Why would you care? My West spirit is crushed... I'm close to leaving all worlds (the game). People have asked me to stay... But after those I trusted turned against me, I no longer enjoyed the game. I take loyalty seriously... We could have left Unhinged... I had offers to join the other side... But I didn't because Unhinged was with us from the start. Loyalty is something that those on Arizona should learn the meaning of. I've never seen so many people switching sides so often. Ally one day... attacking you the next. Makes your head spin...
