I disagree. Maybe you are not giving him enough credit

Re: Congratulation Black-Flag
I had the impression CT was the driving force behind BF's win. I dont think BF initially wanted to take down Ultores and go for the win. Clouds said that himself. It was CT that didnt want Ultores to win again and started the fight.

Agreed. Your guys' help for Black Flag did more than anything to help them win, particularly at the end of the game. Had you gone for the win yourself (and you could have done) it would have also increased our chances, and I'm not sure you liked the idea of that very much. My view is that you were extremely generous to Black Flag in the endgame, given how they more or less stood back as we got together a huge block to hit you.
Even so, trying to win was a huge risk for CT and eventually just saying **** it and helping Black Flag anyway is no surprise to me. I'll admit that part of me knew we were on to a loser in trying to face down Black Flag, but in the end given all that came to pass we were just better off going for it rather than pointlessly stomping on people.

Re: Congratulation Black-Flag
ofc we could of gone ftw and some of the BF haters would of liked it but our goal for the round was to prevent another Ultores win. If we had turned on BF then Ultores or asc would of capitalized on it, instead we did everything we could to assist BF.
BF offered to help when 8 alliances were hitting us but we didn't want them breaking naps that would attract more incs on them. We couldn't get help against faceless so turned on asc... which was funny as asc assumed fl had napped us behind their back.
Felt great though when ults failed to take down joopster, had to sacrifice the alliance for that one.

We didn't try to prevent anyone for winning, really just hit joops as we figured CT def would be way worse than Asc's.

Hopefully this clears up any conspiracy theories about Ascendancy for everyone.

Re: Congratulation Black-Flag
Holy shit. this is why i stay off the forums.
What a load of shit this post turned out to be.
A simple congrats BF post into 4 pages of garbage.
BF deserves to win after so many rouds where we dropped off to 2nd or 3rd at the end. I think clouds can now finally retire in peace.
Congrats to BF for the win.
I know im looking forward to a more relaxed round next round

I just have to feel sorry for your members after such a statement!
Your goal for the round was to prevent another Ultores win, and you play in a full tag of competent players. Poor bastards i have to say!
You never intended them to win, only to make sure another allie did not win and you would fodder for whoever else, waking your members and keeping everyone active only to achieve this very mediocre goal.
I feel sad for your members, nothing personal GM. But thats either bull*** or just something you say to dignify not playing after your members best interest.

Re: Congratulation Black-Flag
It's not like gm has them in chains, SDN. If they don't like it, they can leave. Since they haven't, I think it's safe to say they're OK with how CT played the round.

Re: Congratulation Black-Flag
I dont believe he has the majority of his members behind him if the sole purpose of them putting in efforts for weeks and paying for credits is to prevent ultores winning.
Thats just to play the hero on AD after they failed at winning.

Re: Congratulation Black-Flag
CT doesn't always work like this. Being a fodder every round would kill his ally. but that's not the case here imo.

Re: Congratulation Black-Flag
SDN, our original intention was to have a rebuilding/fun round, there was never an intention to go ftw, we had lost several key players due to the summer and a good percentage of our tag didn't intend to play in tag due to summer/holidays etc.
We had to beg other alliances to try and go ftw, BF stepped up. we could of tried to win but we would of failed and it would of probably resulted in an ults win, besides we crashed too much due to people not being fully committed to playing.
CT was not fodder at any point other than when we pushed for joopster to win, then our members got raped with 260 daily incs and only joops getting defence.
