Country vs. country
Just a funny thought I had...
If alliances was split up so that players from UK played with others from UK.. And Norwegians with Norwegians and so on. What country would come out on top? |
Re: Country vs. country
The one with the highest score?

Re: Country vs. country
In round 6 (or was it 7, or inbetween the two) there was a pa speedround worldcup. First there were qualifiers in each region (these included, though i could be wrong, the UK, america+canada, australasia, scandinavia, rest of europe). The winners and runners up went into the final.
If i remember correctly, a norwegian galaxy won. And I think that would be the same if it was done nowadays in a similar worldcup - they're hardcore nutcases. But for a 2month round, ~90players - I would go for the UK, if you include ireland (Assuming the said uk alliance attacked the american/asian galaxies at appropriate times of the day). |

Would be an interesting statistic though |
Re: Country vs. country
the last "world cup" was won by a UK team sometime around R18 wasn't it?

Re: Country vs. country
I'd love to have a go at this again some time, but I don't a full length round would work.

Re: Country vs. country

That first world cup rocked didn't it Mek!!!! Sounds like your galaxy was competing with mine for the bronze finals :p went down to the very last tick, most exciting pa has ever been for anyone involved. My gal won ofc <3 But things were totally unfair back then (just like the 2nd worldcup was I suppose). Each regional qualifier was dominated completely by the legion/fury mixed gals. The UK one had 2 legion/fury hc-type gals dominating, and a 3rd with lesser names in it also miles ahead of the rest. Thankfully my gal persuaded the top 2 gals to bash the 3rd gal to make it fun for the rest. And it was <3 (3rd place went into the bronze finals - like a 3rd/4th play-off I suppose). If i remember correctly you had Zeus in your galaxy then Mek? I seem to remember him getting despondent over cheating in his galaxy, and went about destroying it or so. Anywho, as the r18 worldcup demonstrated, there just isn't a big enough player base anymore to make a worldcup event fun :( Or maybe trying one over the winter would be more successful? I seem to remember the final being on a pretty ****ing awesome weekend weather-wise. And during the footy world cup too?... Hi CBA! |

the other gal i can remember, was the elysium gal, with Sakera, Darkplague, Thevoid etc, they finished second in the scandinavian quals. |
Re: Country vs. country
Guess that makes sense - fury/legion didn't have that many hcs/officers to completely dominate every regional qualifiers like they did in the uk :(
Do you remember who won the final? I can remember being mildly shocked that the uk galaxies didn't win. But having talked to people about the first world cup, and unrepressing repessed memories, I seem to think it was a galaxy that was run by unforgiven that won? So australian? Can't remember :( ****ing old age sinility. Back on topic, a round of pa where alliances were based on regions would be kind of cool! If only to watch the current set of american/etc players going from awesome -> shit overnight. |
Re: Country vs. country
team Estonia wouldnt win cos of too few ppl in it, but it would surely have the best players in pa!!

Re: Country vs. country
My galaxy was better!! imarbles, djcomplex, audaciter, slowfinger, me, cheek, fatkid, pommeh and serra. And someone who was obviously too shit to remember. I was GC! And if you still aren't impressed... we had a Simpsons galaxy theme too!

either way it was fun, and a great way to pass a weekend :D and there were alot of good players in that world cup :) |
Re: Country vs. country
So your galaxy finished 3rd, mine 4th! 1tick before the end, we were 3rd and you 4th. For the last 1-2hrs my gal was constantly bombarded with incommings from everywhere since we were 3rd, us just trying to desperately not lose fleet. But our biggest planet got fleetcaught on the last tick (fatkid grrrr :@), a tick we didn't think would take place.
Hence djcomplex/cheek/others went apeshit at pateam about it, and we managed to blag an extra spot in the bronze finals. Even though we shouldn't have been there. I'm sure modern pa team would just restate the rules, ignore us, and not let us qualify :( Spinner & co ftw! Nice little walk down memory lane back to the days when pa was fun <3 |
Re: Country vs. country
In every alliance I have been were plenty of Dutchies around, I believe we were like the 5th nation in playercount, and quite a few v good players. but then again, in 32 rounds none has won. so it's probably like football: playing great but never winning when it matters ;-)
I would really like to know how many players come from each country now. In r5 or so it was once published (loads of Norwegians, UK and Germans, and like I said before the Dutchies around 5th spot. If you set that off to playerwins per country, it might give an indication. |
Re: Country vs. country
Belgium didn't play last world cup because we couldn't find enough players willing to play for us :(

Re: Country vs. country
I can remember the weekend of the final vividly! Was a few days before i set off to germany for the summer, and the weather was awesome cos 15mins before tickstart I ran to my local off license to stock up on guinness (I have a photographic memory for anything I've done asc-related in my life).
One of the main things that ruined that final (I recall ranting about it a lot pre-tickstart, much to ppls' annoyance) was that jer overdid the politics, vastly. The tournament was over in 60minutes or so. But then I don't get why people, who are already favourites, go out of their way to guarantee an easy win (so yes, r23 exilition :p I had a few rants there too). Don't understand the mentality behind it, in a game like this [= main reason i totally suck at pa probably]. Sadly, I can imagine any world cup would feature similar politics going on - though could of course backfire during the game. Oh, also, if it was in the winter + how you described, I wouldn't mind betting that there'd be a lot more galaxies than that. eg, I'd probably make a "noob" one - no hope of winning, but maybe qualifying for bronze finals and such. |
Re: Country vs. country
Well, a lot of the time it's sort of difficult to accurately estimate the strength of your opposition! If you got enough gals I imagine politics would sort of balance itself out in some chaotic mess though.

Re: Country vs. country
Ya man, I wasnt serious that my galaxy was better than your's - I was GC ffs!! (or started as gc ;)). eg - my r6: begged my way into hirr, was very high ranked -> thus i was a spy and got kicked out - couldn't join any other alliance, quit - thankfully i met mitre during all this and he improved my alliance-getting skills somewhat!
That said my galaxy wasn't totally shit. Think fatkid was a virus officer, imarbles genesis hc (and generally well respected), audaciter was a xanadu officer, serra a hirr officer, djcomplex was something too..... but still, my galaxy was a noob one :p However, the UK qualifiers were fun+++++++++++++++++++++ right up to the very last tick (for anyone in the #3,4,5,6 galaxies) and since mek remembers it, I'm posting about it! While your galaxy was better, highly doubt you had anywhere near as much fun as we did. And pa is all about fun (its a game!) - thus my galaxy > your's. |
Re: Country vs. country
we had elviz, me and skaut ffs?
how can that NOT be fun? a drunken sami, me + and finnish alcoholic/junkie/14yo ****er. we pwned! |
Re: Country vs. country
the german players would have decent chances thinking of gosu if they'd play in a pa worldcup.. however this would be interesting if they come up with something like that once again, I'd be up for it if its sometime soon!

Re: Country vs. country
Something about knowing when your opponent is asleep (or at least the majority) seems to make the whole idea a bit unrealistic.

Re: Country vs. country
Hi Sakera!
And yes, Aus/NZ won the first World Cup. I think we (Elysium Norwegian gal) was second after day one, being allied with the aussie gal. Then we tried to do a backstab that failed utterly and completely, and aussie gal won by a mile. I actually believe I remember their coords were 1:18... Damn. Anyway, was fun. |
Re: Country vs. country
And thanks to me betting on the Norwegians, a certain picture surfaced shortly after |:
:D |
Re: Country vs. country
That was less fun then throwing you in a pool though.
