Best fighters

[Saru]

Greatest throughout the "live" version of the game in terms of activity and consistency throughout all the wars is undoubtedly Mensa. The likes of tS are up there when it comes to the war planning and such too, and have done particularly well in some wars because of the 'spies' in other camps. 

 

Right now, pixel for pixel, taking into account nation builds/activity levels/coordination and so on I would guess that it is Mensa, TEst, tS in that order.

 

And whilst it is not the case any longer, and I may be biased, but I believe at one point UPN was the greatest "mass alliance" at one point, and comparible to the Mensa's/tS's. Unfortunately losing some key figures, and players losing interest in the game and leaving means that is no longer the case.

 

The more interesting question would be who out of the significant alliances are the worst.

That is a interesting question.  A few come to mind, especially with the start of this current war...

[Ole]

Hands down, after the merger and our massive invcreese in size, i dint expect This, but we have to be in the top 3 imho, Mensa have an adaptability we havent yet tested, and BK a spirit that might be stronger then Even ours, but that last blitz was beutifull. All my love to TEst â¤ï¸â¤ï¸

I'd say you were most certainly up there around the guardian-VE war. Your military execution in oktoberfest was decent too- especially as a mass alliance. That war was lost due to other factors.

 

I feel like the assessment of Mensa --> TEst --> tS is probably accurate. In terms of fighting ability per head I would coin The Coalition and Guardian as well. Especially TC has shown up in every war and punched above its weight.

tbh, I think UPN went south even before Oktoberfest.

 

When UPN joined this game it was basically 20 of the most active CNUPN guys and, even as a mass alliance, most of our recruits were active (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) players since we were really the only (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) alliance to come over so early (Poison Clan didn't seem to actively pull (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) diplomats into their alliance and TOO/VoC/DEIC didn't really turn their alliance into a PWIRON. Also ignoring GPA since they don't really count, now do they?) after reset more (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) alliances started coming over and those (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) players started heading to their home alliances and, coupled with most of our core members leaving or going inactive, UPN became more of a standard mass AA with only a small core. We did have a number of Orbisian players that were kinda taught but most simply didn't have the sheer amount of war experience and discipline the (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) players had. The loss of our (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) core was well before GW3 (only NpO members really remained) and that coupled with disastrous FA and IA policies led to even a large chunk of our Orbisian core leaving. 

 

I do miss UPN having the most war experience in the game though, I remember back in Alpha when we were the only alliance to really have fought any major wars before WWA.

 

Edit: Also of note is that the speedbeta absolutely crushed PPC/VoC membership amounts. Unlike us (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) alliances, SK and most other PT(or PN, w/e shitty game they were from) alliances had no home to go back to so most of them stayed rather than leaving the game from sheer boredom that was the speedround(TEst, however, did take a membership hit that was about as bad as us). Prefontaine was also able to rebuild the ruined mess that was Guardian after the events in Alpha. I remember back when everyone thought Guardian was dead for good

Salty?

 

 

Nope. Refer to the OP and notice that I explained the poll criteria.

Excuses.

[Karrde]

TKR get my vote at this point. They've weathered anything thrown at them and still keep coming back for more.

[jaguar]

I would say Mensa and TEst is a dead race.

As for the worst 'major' alliance, I would put VE, the most apathetic alliance I've seen when it comes to war(except their top tier)

[Bezzers]

No Brotherhood of the Clouds option?

Honestly I'd be confused if we were. It'd be stupid to put us in a league with Mensa and TEst. I'm not saying I dont think we can fight, punch us and we'll punch back as hard as we can, but honestly compared to BK, TKR, Mensa... nah. Pound for pound we'll give you your moneys worth though. 

[Prefonteen]

Any alliance with Jess in it <3

 

seriously though. If we were to go individual and look at the most sound strategic military minds, I view Jess as the one that beats them all. She has been the mastermind behind all Syndicate innovations.

[Jessica Rabbit]

Honestly I'd have voted Guardian.

 

Mensa is amazing and they do what they do well. But Guardian consistently over-performs no matter what is thrown at them. And usually what is thrown at them is a massive disadvantage in the tier they occupy... something that can't be said to quite the same extent for Mensa.

^ this so much.

 

I would have voted Guardian. Mensa is amazing too. And that BK heart! <3

 

The best military minds I've come across are Memph and Prefontaine, but they also happen to be the FA leaders for their AA which makes them well known. It's likely there are others working quietly behind the scenes who will never get credit for their work.

[Buorhann]

Looks like I need to plan some attacks on Syndicate.

[Floating Hippo]

BK had everything thrown at them and is still kicking, so props to them.

[Critters]

Jess all the way (and not just because she's my boss).

[Karrde]

Vanek very much deserves a shoutout for military strategy and planning too. He's intelligent about it and puts in a ton of effort, with results you're all familiar with.

[Eumirbago]

I would also like to give a shoutout to Keegoz for the recent successes of our sphere

[Charles Bolivar]

Keegoz: #1 in FA and military planning by a long stretch

[Buorhann]

Hahaha, Eumir

[Kemal Ergenekon]

Keegoz: #1 in FA and military planning by a long stretch

 

Keegoz is the best FA person in the whole Syndisphere.

The year is 20XX.

 

P&W players no longer browse the P&W website, forums, or alliance chat.

 

Instead, they follow links and take orders from a massive self updating spreadsheet.

 

Everyone knows that the spreadsheet is the most efficient way to fight, but nobody can remember why they're fighting or even what alliance they're in.

 

Sometimes the spreadsheet tells players to declare war on people they once knew as friends and allies. These orders are always carried out.

 

The only thing known about the eternal war is the title of the sheet: "J.R.'s target list".

With enemies like Keegoz, who needs CBs?

[Buorhann]

Maybe when I have some time, I'll have to find the post where Keegoz stated he didn't lead any losing wars.

 

This is #2, back-to-back, since he came back to Emperor of Rose, right?
