Diplomacy and blocking is practically what
defines Planetarion, but you're presenting it 1) as a problem to be solved, and 2) as something that hasn't been a part of PA since it's early days:
Quote:
WaC and BT had approached the round in contrasting ways, while BT had made numerous NAPs with other major alliances WaC went on the offensive against any perceived weaker alliances. A large number of these smaller alliances banded together in an attempt to fight WaC. F-Crew, UXF, IPC, SK, ND and hirr joined together, partially under the auspices of Zeus. |
Quote:
The build-up for Round 3 began with the two victorious alliances of Round 2, Fury and Legion, allying themselves with ReBorn, with whom they had friendly relations towards the end of the round, to form a block which became known as The Triad. This block was supposedly opposed by STEL, which consisted of a number of alliances formed out of the remnants of WaC the previous round, Sedition, Elysium and LOST, alongside The Empire. |
Quote:
Going into Round 4 this block continued the previous round's Legion vs WP/Fury war. During the break between rounds WP and Fury stuck together, and with BlueTuba joining in the early stages of the round (and to a lesser extent the smaller alliances hirr and Quha, with ViruS joining much later on) to form WTF. |
Quote:
The two most prominent alliances from Round 4, Xanadu and NoS, had agreed upon an alliance at the end of the round for Round 5, with CELL, forming what become known as the NoCeX block. Needing to build a block capable of dealing with this Fury and Legion took their former allies Elysium, Wolfpack, BlueTuba and ViruS with them, creating the WTFVE block, despite the efforts of some. |
In particular, note the two strongest alliances in the winning block of round 5 turning on their weaker allies rather than fighting each other. How are those rose tinted glasses? Still working?
No, I think I liked my 2 'lol's better after all. Very consise, I thought.
