FCC #2?

[kinngrimm]

Pretty sure factions I've been in and my usually similar network of allies have been the ones going against massive nerdstacks of megaalliances on NA who receive direct unlimited Strategus funding from the Coalition Megaempires that until this strat have dominated the border of EU and NA, making even the most distant of trade partnerships with non Coalition Hegemony clans impossible.
Differance is, i am not Coa, never was and ahd my fair share of problems with those in the eastern block of EU last round, but as you so knoledable about EU i guess you know all about that.
Differance as well is, i did not intend nor tried to close the southern border for certaub NA clans, but GForce tries to clsoe it for none-UIF clans. I am willing to make trade with everybody on NA, while GForce wants to regulate it.

Basically, kinngrimm, the only thing you are right is you have no idea who anyone, or what anything, in NA Strategus is. In fact, from your posting, you usually seem to have no idea what is going on in EU strat either. You also never even seem to be enjoying yourself and do nothing but flaccidly complain about the "metastate of the community" as if you are any better than a common bottom of the barrel basement dwelling middle aged autist.
Shame on you for being the kind of shallow-minded bigot that ruins the reputation of EU for everyone else.
are you sure you are not describing yourself here? Smoothrich i offered trade to you and several Hero party members last round, the answers i got were around "too much effort and not worth our time" or a "general dislike" was expressed

As so often Smoothrich, you are full shit.

Kesh, honestly, if you didn't always nerd herd to get people to sign against us, we wouldn't be forced to do shit like this.  I mean, I had a long day at work on Friday and when I got home, I was exhausted.  So, being tired and not wanting to strain my internet friendships any further, I didn't do the normal begging to get my friends to sign up for a 200 man battle.  Unfortunately, we lost the battle because of it.  But it is actually your behavior that forces clans to take this approach.  The weather is getting warmer outside, and I'm going to be at my computer even less and less.  So, while you are in your basement wearing your tinfoil getting people to sign up for every 100 man naked Hospitaller army or some EU traders that you invited into NA, or whoever it is you are supporting while still accusing everyone else of running Mega Alliances, I'm going to get my ass back in the gym again and get in a lot more beach time this year.  Now, I don't know if you orchestrated the defense for the battle we lost or not, but I don't have the energy or the time to always be on my toes, worrying about stealth rosters.  So hopefully, some of the L's, C's and O's will pick up the slack with the rosters, and I can just show up on cold and rainy days.

dont like war \ arnt up for...play something else ffs

i laugh everytime i see an anti kesh post, jealous that you arnt half the fucking commander \ leader. its a game, yeah, you have work, yeah...dont we all. quit being so fucking jealous that you cant measure up.

and btw...im fucking sick of these "elite" clans that everytime they win its cuz their enemies were no skilled plebs...and everytime you lose, its cuz ur enemies are no life nerds?

get fucking real and man up ffs

[GOBBLINKINGREATLEADER]

I think the perception that people are "jealous [they] arnt (sic) half the fucking commander / leader" is a flawed thought. People want to play this game without having to worry about every little unfun detail. There are a lot of gaps in this game where stupid things that make no sense are allowed to happen--like 200 troops beating 1000 because someone got a lot of people to show up to a battle that is no fun in the first place. The devs will never fix all these problems, so sometimes there is the hope that maybe other players will be decent and not do stuff like that... but the way the community is set up (because of people like Kesh), that is not possible.

Nobody reads or hears about cRPG from a friend or forum and wants to come to it because they heard about losing weeks of work creating armies because they had a 5 AM night time abuse battle that got flooded by EUs that Kesh hired, or because they didn't want to have to bring 30 people to an absolutely no fun 1500 v 100 peasant fight.

That's not superior leadership/commanding. It's really not. I've played video games that truly take leadership and commanding in different forms, and I think this is much different. Leadership to me shouldn't constitute things like what I wrote about in this post, it should be about inspiring people you play with to play better, teaching them how to, and organizing them in combat... but gathering 30 nerds and having them sign up for a battle the other team hardly wants to play in? That just doesn't feel superior to me in anyway. It feels inferior.

[Goretooth]

see you are so buthurt about some stupid game stuff you make me laugth really, see your huge number in fact are fiction in your head as for the occi we are curently 15 player the game enough to do strat stuff/chev has about 8+7 troop grinder and gforce are actually really small as far as i am concern to be honest acre and only acre still bigger then us/mb are still bigger then us on paper also fidlgb are not longer a strat faction they are (keyboard warrior) mb faction now so get your stuff straigth if i am killing the community so then i am sorry i just learn from my last opponent to get as many people on board to have full roster and ensure to have fun in this game.

the na map is first way to large for the number of people playing it there also way to many clan and larger clan always get more action on the map and this is according to you see fcc strat 4/ve strat 4 bring a lot of action im just trying to make the game as fun as they did.

So you became someone that you hate on a video game. 

[Wesleysnipes]

Why is everyone complaining?? This is fucking awesome! GFORCE and Occitan can start taxing every small faction for protection. But I'm not gonna pay taxs!

[Aztek]

My greatest disappointment with any strat thus far, was a clan I respected the most joining with a clan I respected the least.

I get the appeal with troll clans, some just like that type of thing to fuel their ego's and what not. But when you see stuff like this, its the equivalent of watching your parents who you thought were mature, sniffing paint and eating glue with the neighborhood drunk.

I still have a ton of respect for a lot of the people in LCO, but this really does make me shake my head...

Are only a few of us seeing this?  They merged the two largest factions because one battle you and hotmail (is that badplayer or internet explorer - i forget which or if they are the same guy) couldn't make your own battle that you chose to initiate  before NA primetime as attackers.

1)  You didn't even need to recruit mercs - you just needed to hire the mercs that applied (which no one did for the entire day) - poor leadership - what we used to do in fcc is we would ask around the ts and see who would make a fight and then if they could we would ask them to hire mercs and anyone and everyone could hire throughout the day and would often do so (i'm sorry Giuseppe and marcus are too stupid that they need to be hand-held, but if you led a less autocratic clan you wouldn't have this problem - hence poor leadership)

2) You share a ts with half of the na playerbase who only ever merc for each other and never fight each other (exception 2 days ago aow joined - don't count, they are our spies ;) jk) - all it takes is one person from gforce who is making the battle to ask in the same ts they are having the battle in - no one bothered - again poor leadership often caused by over-controlling rather than encouraging initiative

3)  I didn't even recruit for that battle, I just showed up and astralis already had things well under control and were hiring anyone who applied and were willing to show up in greater numbers than the bigger gforce faction at that time slot even though gforce CHOSE the time slot by attacking then (poor coordination/timing = poor leadership - I think you just assumed you would win)

Accusing me of needing to merge two giant factions together (im part of a 7-man faction and play very little this round) is frankly ludicrous and pretty pitiful excuse.  Grow a pair already, its just a game - losing pixels not a big deal.

P.S.  To be fair yours and arowaine's style of leadership fits perfectly the mold of being the vassals of EU Druzhina - both druzhina and grey order run their clans with a huge amount of autocracy and with the eastern european mentality that seems to work - just surprised 'Mericans and canadians would submit so easily to such a form of clan control without wanting more independence and self-will.  Maybe you are all secret soviet spies and not true 'Mericans!!!

I feel essentially the same way.

[Artyem]

What if the Squids and Nerds of the North work together?  That's like 52 members, throw that in with Acre's and you have 100+ players.

Sounds like an interesting war.
