Luckily, your time-investment in this round has been extremely minimal ;)

Re: Worst Round EVA
theres only 1 thing that would make this round intresting.. ND and NFI battling it out between themselves..
it would be even more intresting if apprime, asc, osi, oddr, ct and others would happily sit beside the arena and wouldnt run in and help any of those alliances and would avoid ganging up.. that, in my eyes, would be very enjoyable! |
Re: Worst Round EVA
1 on 1 combat is rarely enjoyable. One side starts winning right away and it's over within days. The whole point of PA is the political aspect of forming and breaking naps and alliances and everyone trying to balance everyone else out so they come out on top. 1 on 1 is boring.
|
Re: Worst Round EVA
Ascendancy/Omen wasn't. It wasn't all 1v1 but a fair portion of it was pretty close. Admittedly I was on the Ascendancy side so I obviously don't know whether Omen found it as interesting.
You're right about the interesting aspect normally being the political side though. |
Re: Worst Round EVA
Let's put it like this then: I don't think a 1-on-1 war between NFI and ND would last very long. With politics, though... I think we all know on whose side most alliances would be.
|
Re: Worst Round EVA
as i said, the only way to make the ongoing round intresting is the war between the 2 giants.. normally i agree that the 1vs1 might not be as fun, but as we know theres no big political changes coming from the current universe then this would still be intresting to watch at least.. there isnt anything else more amusing coming out of this round as i see it, atm anyways.
|
Re: Worst Round EVA
No, you're wrong. The problem (if a boring round is something you think is problematic, that is), is that ND and NFI refuse to end their nap. Once they get over that, as you propose they do, making the rest of the universe move politically is easy; we've been ready, eager and willing all along.
|
Re: Worst Round EVA
Can't we just stop the round now and begin a new round?

Re: Worst Round EVA
There's still like 2 weeks left of this direfest. Surely there has to be something that can be done to make it more interesting?
The only two ways I see is; 1) ND and NFI splitting, which is very unlikely. 2) 'Every' ally bar NFI and ND decide to gangbang ND or NFI, however this requires a lot of activity, determination, and coordination and is also very unlikely. |

Re: Worst Round EVA
It's not exactly NFI's fault that it has come down to this, they did what was necessary for them to (have a boring as **** round and) win. The blame lies more with every other alliance's ability to pummel them to the ground and/or decision to nap NFI.
|
Re: Worst Round EVA
I also blame App & Asc failing so hard that it almost hurts. Haven't played some previous rounds and dunno if i play any in the future, but this is and was the only round that i liked most because of App&Asc pwnage.
CBA, you can always leave the tag and get atleast few uncovered incomings. |
Re: Worst Round EVA
I don't really see how anyone could count on Ascendancy to bring much of a winner challenge these days, though truth me told I'm too inactive on IRC to notice if there's anyone who actually cares enough to try to get things done. The end line is that if you want someone to make title contention interesting these days, you have to look elsewhere.
|
Re: Worst Round EVA
There is zero interesting things left to do in this game, so why bother being active :(

The reality is Asc has been a mid level alliance for 5 rounds now. Neither Asc or App started this round in any position to win it, its just our reputations that cast an ominous shadow. Ascendancy for example has 25 ppl who are below the top 500, not because they have been killed, but because they never played to start with. Im beginning to think the NFI victory is an absolute necessity, because no-one will believe that we are not what we were until the non-asc r30 playerbase win several rounds - last round was one, this round either way it goes will be another, yet everyone still has a chip on their collective shoulders. |
Re: Worst Round EVA
Actually, had App not monumentally failed in trying to pwn NFI, they'd have been in a far better position to challenge for the roundwin.
They had almost a full tag at one stage, and had Firebird not gone AWOL and had cardi not taken over (something which a lot of people only resigned on for this round on the promise wouldn't happen) and had the alliance not been such a bunch of twats and had cardi not kicked a few Orbit members for absolutely no reasonable reason then they wouldn't have lost more of the Orbit members and generally fallen apart from within. Had none of the above happened, they'd be doing a lot better than they currently are. They may not have started the round with the intention of winning, but the rate at which they recruited to keep up with NFI/CT/ND suggests that they clearly wanted to have a stab at going for first. Sure, they might have given up fairly easily due to a general boredom with the game/cardi/each other, meaning that the true extent of their theoretical threat never materialised... But please can we not keep talking about Apprime as if they never intended to put any effort in this round? |
Re: Worst Round EVA
what they intended to do dont matter, round is still the most boring ive played.

And in any event why should we be the ones to change our alliance when its your attitudes that are wrong. We have played this round exactly how a middle ranked alliance is supposed to - blocking to take on the big threats, first App then NFI. It is ND and CT who have been acting oddly, and against the general way they would in the past whether faced with App or Asc at the top or even Denial, or even further into the past ND and CT joining ROCK to depose xVx in r25, In r24 ND joined eX and some others to take on a stagnant CT/Urwins dominated universe. In all these cases ND and sometimes CT automatically blocked against the top rather than joining it. Quote:

Re: Worst Round EVA
In fairness there's been at least 3 other rounds, 5, 10.5 and 23, which have been as bad as this one.
|
Re: Worst Round EVA

Re: Worst Round EVA
R23 was quite enjoyable for me. Ministry taking it up to Exi + their gimps, solo, right out of protection, was interesting. I can honestly say, I've never felt so overwhelmed when team DCing, even the Denial bash night wasn't as bad.
If you're bored with the battle for #1 ally, focus your attention on something else. There is planet/gal play, which is usually far less stagnant, and then there is always the opportunity of FCing some dickhead you don't like. Trolling ingame or on IRC isn't bad either. |
Re: Worst Round EVA
My eyes were beginning to bleed from the fact JM had been the most recent poster on AD for the last couple of days. Still twelve days to go this round. And the only question is whether the nd or the nfi planet can get enough escorts to get themselves to #1. Fascinating!

Interesting to see how APP, ASC and OSI pick themselves up for next round.

If asc looks even a hint stronger than this round then everyone will scream 'oh the big bad wolf is back' and all NAP again resulting in a redux of this round. Ideally App and Asc actually want to be weaker to break the stagnation, not stronger. Why would poaching off App or Osi make any difference anyway, thats the three that failed this round reshuffling the deckchairs on the titanic so we can try charge the iceberg once more! |

We don't really care about winning. At least I don't.
|
Re: Worst Round EVA
I'd say that we still have the playerbase to win a round, we just don't have the motivation and I don't see that changing for next round, so I can't see us poaching players in order to win

Re: Worst Round EVA
Incidentally who mullered osiris today? If it was nfi I'm going to lol about tzu's "honest guys, we're only going to hit apprime and ascendancy and not rape top planets" spiel. If it was just ND that also makes me lol :(
|
Re: Worst Round EVA
afaik ODDR & VGN hit Osiris last night, don't know about other alliances
|
Re: Worst Round EVA
The Osiris in my gal certainly got plenty of ND waves..
Im not seeing much of a pattern there, let alone a rationale. |
Re: Worst Round EVA
as far as i know we had it coming from NFI, ND, ODDR, Vgn..
|
Re: Worst Round EVA
/me stands by her ND and CT are shit alliances stance, which she has taken for years now and its served her well.
How many times will they settle for 2nd before they decide 'hey, for once in our long history, we wont be shit'. |
Re: Worst Round EVA
We gal raided last night with a few osi ingal.
|
Re: Worst Round EVA
its funny how you big boys of big alli's talk strategy and all you do is attacking small planets . Planets twice the size team up to be sure they get their 40 roids lol , its disgusting and thats why i quit this game after about 30 rounds . it becomes more silly every round .:down:
