Lu Xun Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 @Syrup Been there, done that. The shit we've done is amazing, the shit we've gotten other people to swallow needs to be seen to be believed. No matter what happens, you're doing this in a game of 4000 live accounts and can't be compared to someone doing this in a game of 20,000 active accounts, @ Buorhann: I respected your fighting spirit until you broke, I respected SK until they managed to extract a nominal reps condition from Impero. At the end of the day, though, you are lucky you have tS on your side to provide spine and brains; without them you'd be butt-monkeys. Quote .

Crust Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 How are we not the underdogs in this situation? While already fighting a war against Arrgh/Vanguard, we were attacked by the 2 of the largest alliances in the game. Our continued success has been entirely through teamwork, coordination, and concentrated strikes to disable airforce. Our aura of underdogginess spreads to all our allies.

Granted tS does a shit ton for us, I doubt we'll be just "butt-monkeys". If you haven't noticed, Mensa warring has slowly been shaping the community. Some alliances learn faster than others. 1 Quote Warrior of Dio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfPCFQfOnLg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Xun Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) For amusement's sake, though. Let's say, next war tS decides to ditch the Mensa-bloc faction. tEst and Guardian are in decline; Mensa is relatively stagnant, with membership staying around a certain level. SK seems to be doing fine, but on the other hand Mensa-bloc has an upper-tier superiority that tS might covet. The option, then, is for tS to link up with tC. It's a diagonal link-up; and potentially UPN, as a 160k score force, as well as a mass alliance, could be more potent in the long-run than SK + Mensa. The main problem with this, though, is that tC is unreliable, and Mensa is highly reliable. It could be worth it for shiggles, but as I mentioned in the other thread, this represents overreach and could easily backfire in the long-term. tl;dr: this entire post presupposes things that won't happen Granted tS does a shit ton for us, I doubt we'll be just "butt-monkeys". If you haven't noticed, Mensa warring has slowly been shaping the community. Some alliances learn faster than others. Well, you've always been challenged at reading comprehension, even for a hippo.

MrsPigeon Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) I'm pretty sure anyone who thinks we dog-piled Rose forgot that Rose started it If you ask to be dog-piled, we're not going to say no. And don't even play the honor game. Just ask Vanguard how honorable of an ally you are. tS is just about as honorable as you can get in this shithole called the top 10. much love from TKR 😘 Edited February 6, 2016 by Piratemonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekaterina Kalmyk Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 As a new player, it's difficult for me to look at this situation and see anyone except Mensa HQ as the underdog. A bulldog, yes, but an underdog all the same. I keep seeing all these DoWs against Mensa HQ, led by Rose, the third largest alliance in the game, while Mensa HQ isn't even in the Top 10. Am I missing something or is that about right? I'm also partial to rooting for the underdog. 1 Quote Original Art Credit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buorhann Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Well, we are normally a Top 10 Alliance. Score loss from Arrgh, Vanguard, Rose, VE... and I think that's it, dropped us out of the Top 10. All the others that have declared haven't really done much.

And of course, lack of faith in God Emperor Dio Brando. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still though, the fact that we're not top 10 due to the many fronts we're warring adds to underdog status, in this specific scenario. I'm biased of course, though. As an aside, I find it amusing that Arrgh is currently giving us more trouble than Rose in terms of difficulty-to-deal-with.

Score loss from Arrgh, Vanguard, Rose, VE... and I think that's it, dropped us out of the Top 10. All the others that have declared haven't really done much. Ah, okay, thanks for explaining. I thought maybe I saw you guys in there at some point, but didn't see you upon double-checking today. I know TLF declared war on Mensa HQ, too, but they're about to have snakes on their plane, so you could probably afford to take that one lightly. It's like Rome vs Gauls in Asterix. Rose and pals always have much higher resources, score and military, but they get beaten every time because of lack of coordination, tactics and experience. And of course, lack of faith in God Emperor Dio Brando. Well, that would do it. Thanks.

I'm biased of course, though.As an aside, I find it amusing that Arrgh is currently giving us more trouble than Rose in terms of difficulty-to-deal-with. I agree, it definitely adds to your underdog status, as an alliance, in this particular Orbis Wide War. Don't believe what you see on the surface. Mensa is not an underdog. So... you're saying they're actually more powerful than Rose and all its allies combined?
