How is this still a thing!

Had to laugh that galleri is still here.

To play in LaF you're either completely ignorant, or you have to accept their history of being built by the biggest cheaters in the game. At one point RD was just a LaF outpost.



No thanks.

LOL. Legit thought this was a joke. Then realised it wasn't a joke, which made it funnier.

LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME I DID SOME WALLING

Haxor Wanger is back? Are you still cheating?

Remember the good old days when you were in RD and ran bots and multies?

Ahh.. so easy to forget eh?

galleri, can I please add some of that salt to my avocado toast?

SOF to disband again in 3.. 2.. 1..

You idiots hijacked my post.

Can we get back on topic please?

;D

Just a question..

Last time I was allowed to post, SOF had still not won a single war without being propped up by RD, IX or LAF (all of the above riddled with cheats and bots). The fact they're still around is amazing, and a testament to the fact that some people just aren't fazed bathing in a tub of faeces.

BONUS POST FOR TURNS :D

Well, this handle hasn't posted for over half a decade. :)

Oh dear...

Unchained.

.. and at such an opportune flashpoint in this game.

So many douchebags, so little time!

Did I say SOF cheated? That is up for interpretation.

SoF don't directly cheat. They let other alliances do it for them.

They were the last alliance to support Elitez and did so for a long time, accepting FA from them to win wars right up until Anthony Ciolli produced definitive evidence of cheating. There are logs of Helmet practically begging startiger for FA in a war against SOL complete with country-to-country to match ups done by his own hand.

Then, we have the LAF debacle. Their rise was directly attributed to the worst individual cheating seen in EE's history yet SOF continued to leech off their power.

SOF is (and by extension Helmet who made most of the decisions to support questionable alliances) the biggest contradiction in ever play the game. Helmet calls other people whiners and sore losers yet is the first to actually take an alliance an leave the game in a hissy fit. Is the first to come and whinge about cheating yet the alliance he has led has always pandered to alliances that are powerful and if they cheat, oh well 'we didnt do it'.

Shameful.

'Darakna'.. About option 2. Yes, SOF could fight LAF but that would mean actually taking on the server's other large alliance and that is something SOF has avoided since it's early existence.

SOF will leech from other alliances to get 'near' the top, but by their very model of beating up alliances low on morale or members to pad their stats, means they spend very very little time as the top alliance in this game.

I would much prefer to be in an alliance that spends one year out of every three as the best, instead of a spineless 'somewhere near the top' alliance that is always willing to bend over and cop it to maintain that status.

Alliances SOF has completely leeched off in the last decade;

Elitez
MD
LAF

Wow look at all the LAF/SOF types complaining like little pussies.

I can run a very good suicider country, KJ - PM me.

Maybe hlw will have 100K acres with 1m turrets again? Let me go and find the news feed for that hit! :)

Maybe the admins can do something not completely stupid and make a meaningful change...

LIKE FORMALISING WAR DECS.

OR FIXING THE ATTACK BUTTON

OR ETC ETC

When they 'saved' this game they also have an obligation to either improve it or give it to someone else.

Ridiculous idea.

It fed the trolls because you are probably one of the retards asking for this change while running a POS Rep with no defense and enough jets to farm some small tag into oblivion.

I've got an equally stupid idea - ban the players in large alliances farming small alliances because they're wrecking the game for them!!

* cue SOF lackeys spewing forth how good they are without acknowledging the disgraceful means in which they employed to get where they are *

Dragon has been the best player in EE for 12 years.

davidoss - selective reading is a trait borne by most fluffheads of your ilk.

http://forums.earthempires.com/...uld-be-a-netting-alliance

SOF needs to thank LAF for everything they do considering their rise through cheating was so closely linked with SOF's rise through leeching.

Crying? I'm not even playing you dipfluff :)

SOF are strong due to leeching off LAF for two years. LAF whose main rise was during the leadership of a database and game hacker. A leader who set records in networth and underhanded tactics only to have his countries deleted. SOF manufactures a 1 on 1 war against an alliance who has taken more defends in more uneven contests than any other alliance in the existence of the game and beats their chest like they're Muhammad Ali.

Typical :)

LOL.

SOF and LAF orchestrate the systematic gangbanging of SOL (& co) for two years then have the gall to trumpet their victory as if it was a decent achievement.

If SOF or LAF were meted out the same punishment that SOL has absorbed for two years, SOF would be long gone and LAF would be back to 30 members.

Why did I have to change my forum PW

The new changes are a fluff bandaid fix that tries to be too clever by coming up with their 'own solution' rather than listen to actual changes that are logical and target the problem.

Any wonder Servant is a champion of this change? lol

Making kills runs longer is good, but doing this by increasing the number of turns required to kill a country is stupidity. They are not mutually exlusive.

Let's see if SOF can avoid the temptation of getting external FA up the wazoo like every other war in their history.

WOW SERVANT IS FAMOUS

Wow.. Don this, Don that.. I did this, did that etc...

You LAF whimps are a rare and refined breed of fluffhead.

Yeah.. Like hanlong won't be without access in the next 2 months.

LOL

qz, I think you're great, and most changes in the game are great.

What I see though is a propensity to do something not exactly required because it's a bit fancy or might be cool to tinker with/code.

Make stonewalling harder? Target the problem - stop allowing the spamming of hits via the OP Ajax attack button. That is an easy way to lengthen the time taken to kill a country without increasing the turns required to do so.

Stop dumb war dynamics? Promote even wars by coding alliance level war decs into the game. Do not allow alliances to hit each other until a reasonable amount of time has passed in the reset. Reduce the power of first strikes by giving restarts even bigger bonuses (this will also make tagkills* harder to achieve - instead of 24/48 hours).

The game is broken but not in the areas that seem to get the fixes.

* by tagkill I mean the common scenario where 99% of an alliance's networth is destroyed in a short period. By giving restarts say a 25% of everything the had before bonus (tech, military, cash, bushels, oil) - the most damage you can do in a devastating first strike is 75%. Still powerful but at least it gives the recipient alliance some chance to get back on their feet quickly (especially if they stocked well and played a good country, which the game should reward)

Sigh.

Fixed.

This is about as close as an apology from SOF as you're going to get.

"We've stomped all over the game for a year - now we're prepared to come cap in hand and fight a fair war now that the rest of the server is disillusioned with the game."

.. oh and we'll take back Jesus as well. He'll hit 30 HR in Yankee Stadium.

Get Felix to the Yankees asap.

What a waste of talent on that poxy Mariners team!

Poor Rockman. LAF have won one networth title in over two years.

When SOL last netgained, they beat LAF in TNW. Look it up.

Oh wait, that would involve actual effort instead of just going on what the truth deniers in LAF spew constantly.

locket - i don't 'use my brain to store so much knowledge of Laf'. This game stores networth title information - I can message you the link if you want. I rely on actual events that, you know, happened. Not just made up fantasies and truth twisting to make myself feel better like the hanlong apologists and convenient history changers.

Take this line by exhibit A dipfluff Servant: "LAF has seen the 3 architechts of their demise all step down from active roles in their alliances"

You would have thought LAF was a victim listening to this truth defying bullfluff. Nothing about continuing a crusade started by hanlong (and facilitated by SOF) post the SOL v LAF 1-on-1s to deploy any tactic, ANY tactic, to subvert, destroy, demoralise or otherwise make the game so pointless and dumb as to encourage tens of players and several alliances to quit.

Keep living in that bubble. The same bubble that makes you forget LaF's horrible history of having more cheating leaders, more RD members and more shady 'puppeteers' than any existing alliance. When hanlong returns triumphially you will be the first to provide an anal rimming, I'm sure.

Addendum:

I also like this:

"LAF has seen the 3 architechts of their demise, (Arsenal, Makinso and KJ) all step down from active roles in their alliances."

+

"SOF- It was teamwork, that has SOF and LAF here"

Yes, it was their 'teamwork' that you so eagerly applaud that has seen quite a number of players leave the game. The teamwork that is straight out of the previous version of this game's handbook. It no longer applies here. This game is not growing, it is dying and your idiotic posts serve to put these actions on a pedestal and promote them.

Manipulate all and sundry, ride the gravy traing of cheating, log stealing and gangbanging by coalition and you too can find yourself atop completely irrelevant rankings by an absolute irrelevance in an even more completely irrelevant game.

You sir are a goose.

Servant the stupidity of your rankings are highlighted by your description of LCN.

"just a notch or two below LAF in netting, and a notch or two below SOF in fighting, but still very good at both."

LAF have won one (1/uno) total networth title in 26 months (13 resets). The one victory they had was when they blindsided MD and then farmed them in April. Every time they haven't worked behind the scenes and taken out their competition they lose. See: multiple times they have come second.

Since SOF was embarrassed in the ECM war (18 months ago?) - they have fought and won one (1/uno) war that could even remotely be called a test (and it wasnt a test) versus PDM. They blindsided a netgaining Evo and got their asses kicked. They have had more than 3 opportunities I can think of off the top of my head to keep a war even and 'assert their superiority' but opted to fluff out every time.

Yet you still think yourself so self important as to keep trotting out ridiculous rankings that have no basis in reality, no discernible measurement system apart from the system where you determine how far up the collective assholes of SOF and LAF you can penetrate your nose.

Incorrect, despite the colourful language I stick to facts and actual real world happenings. If you look closely around here, it is the guilty parties that tend to distort and subtract from reality.

hanlong? Ohh it was never really proven, he might have, he might not have. Who really knows??? The admins certainly haven't come up with anything concrete! Don't hold the alliance accountable for two people!!!

SOF/LAF policies encouraging people to quit: It's not their fault! Those players are too weak to stay on! Look at our recruiting drive it's so easy!!! Just recruit and stop being fluff!$#@

SOF buddies with RD: *conspicuous silence*

Sov changing SOFs policies: The saviour is here! Changes are coming! I run two pharamacies and a divorce law practice! I am smart and I will improve the server by leeching off whoever is the top dog of the day, sacrificing my dignity by FDPing alliances we killed for cheating and generally just trying to get people to leave the game so SOF never has to fight a fair war again!! (We know what happens in that scenario)

Like it or not, this game is hugely flawed. A game that is meant to be played over two months can be destroyed in 24 hours by any group morally willing enough to band together and gangbang or outnumber an opponent for a cheap victory. This game relies on group consensus to do the decent thing. It relies on the playing group to keep things in order. When you have rogue elements like SOF and LAf who are so self centered and driven by self interests - this game is fluffed.

So many retards not enough rebuttals.

Sov: "I will be making a lot of changes to SoF mainly relating to policy" - yes, server destroying policy. Selective copy and paste again from the retard.

Zahc: "You say laf/sof drive members from the game when you tried to get lafers to leave by not allowing them to net for 22 sets" bzzzzzt. LaF have not netted for that long because they chose to offensively target SOL, EVO and everyone else at the behest of hanlongs crusade while not being big enough to fight one even war, just one, to settle the dispute once and for all.

locket: "Well from all i hear he is a big reason Sof has doubled in membership." bzzzzt. The reason SOF has numbers is because they have piggybacked LAFs rise while hanlong was busy stealing logs and gangbanging under the guise of 'meanies are picking on netgainers'. Newsflash - SOL destroyed LAF 1 on 1 twice but it was nearly 2 years ago. Get over it. SOF are keeping their members because fair weather sailors migrate to alliances that aren't on the recieving end all the time. Recruiting drive. LOL

iChode: "So SOL continually fs'ing netting alliances was trying to create an even playing field??? hmmm hypocrite much dagga?" Oh yes, please enlighten me as to what and when these first strikes were brainiac! Oh thats right, facts are not an issue for brain dead idiots. I once saw a retarded fluffatoo at a freak show that kept headbutting its cage, eating its own faeces while reciting "PAGAWWW BURT REYNOLDS PAGAWWW". In a battle of wits with class clown iscode, I'm backing the fluffatoo.

You can track when an alliance is the best in the game very easily. It is when SOF is sucking from their teat for protection like a swamp leech.

That would be, during the SOL v LAF wars when SOF avoided SOL at all costs and begged for an FDP.

See? Easy.

Ivan it would be a breath of fresh air if you tried by yourself for a change. When was your last decent win again?

Oh that's right, in Swirve.
