I'd say it's pretty lame to incorporate c-rpg gold into any aspect of strat, considering it's something that you have been earning/saving for years of playing the game, and each round of strat only lasts about a year each.
I'd also say it's lame to specifically target mercs that are signed up for the other team. Kind of like how you guys have an entire network of shitlords constantly trying to snipe the mercs from our side. I never wanted to face this big of a sperg in strategus. To the point where I have to actually inconvenience myself/tweak my moral boundaries just to have a chance at competing against you, and your little butt buddy alliance.
But hey, I guess "winning" is just more important to some people than it is to others, and some people are just willing to take whatever step they have to ensure "victory". I think it's pretty funny that despite the fact that you pay all this c-rpg gold to these mercs, and put hours each battle into spamming NA-1 or trying to get people to swap from our side to yours, that you stiill get your asses handed to you in half the battles. How many times have we capped/spawn camped your offensive flags while we are on defense? LOL. I just wonder what the next far-reaching, pathetic(but necessary in your eyes) step you will take to come out "on top" is.
And if you think 1 MB/KbW guy besides myself(yeah I did), tweaked his sleep schedule to stay up for that battle, you are wrong. We have a massive ladder(though not all are active in strat), the biggest in NA, and the forth biggest in all of C-rpg, the last i checked. We also have some nocturnal nerds in MB, but who doesn't. I would say the fact that 3 out of your 7 members made it (thats almost 50% of your members all that dedicated to strat), as opposed to 15 out of the 200 members on our ladder( around 7.5%) making it to the battle, is testament in itself, that you guys are the bigger spergs. Nice try making us look like nerds though
