Personally I'd just avoid the concept of tiers altogether, needlessly forcing every alliance into particular categories is a pretty pointless idea.
In terms of fleet activity, number of incoming hostile fleets, amount of time spent dcing or otherwise working for your alliance golan is so far ahead of you, and pretty much everyone else playing the game, that if he quit PA and never played again you'd probably catch him some time around summer 2034. Golan wasn't one of the people who benefited from Ascendancy being a dominating alliance, he's one of the people who made it a dominating alliance.
Edit: Amusing lie about never having heard of golan though. I know you're not going to go back on it now because you'd look like even more of an idiot but seriously  |
I really don't care about tiers tbh, Golan was the one calling me out on referring to ND as a 'second tier alliance' which I believe to be true - which you also clearly agree with.
In reference to what you call an amusing lie I stated that 'As to your personal style skills of play I cant comment, I have only vaguely heard of you as one of JBG's henchmen' which is true - yes I have heard of Golan but only vaguely and am unaware of his playing style or achievements.
I'm not quite sure what point your trying to make in terms of the amount of hours/effort Golan has put into asc - wouldn't surprise me if it was alot more than me considering I haven't DC'ed in over 15 rounds as it took up too much time and wasn’t exactly ideal for a British time-zone. I've never been of the belief that the amount of hours you put into PA defines your skills and will freely admit that most players of any worth are a hell of alot more active than me.
Not quite sure why there some vicious crusade against me and my gal-mates going on here, making things personal on the forums seems pretty disrespectful to me which is somewhat sad as if there is anything I have for asc its a grudging respect.
