ND are solo, and will not be blocking this round unless forced into it. (:

If i was in Focht's position, I would have exactly the same attitude. He has no responsibility to tell you anything, and in fact threads like this would just make me laugh at all the mindless idiots on AD who give any credit to the poster.
I'd give up now, it is you, Morden and Kjeldoran(sp?) who are appearing stupid, not Focht and Eclipse
[edit]
Just for the record, I have never been a member of Fury. Eclipse, ToT or any other alliance so far mentioned in this thread, have never chatted/been "aquaianted" with Focht, or in fact (I think) any other Eclipse member, and if any of the alliances mentioned did work together, I would be very worried

See the post about ND/dragons/wp :P. They desparately need to justiify thier secret agreements among themselves not to hit each other and focus on OTHER alliances such as as those they named themselves as reet while putting forth a lie they now admit so that pa sentiment will go against those alliances in a two prong attack strategy. Fang may be doing the same thing with some other alliance or even with ND. Atm, they have a no nap/ally agreement among themselves publicly EXCEPT agreeing to focus on attacking reet so they can falsely CLAIM to be solo while they know very well this type of silent agreement is even more beneficial than a nap with each other.
Its pretty obvious they are trying to gather support for a "these evil reet"block campaign even tho they themselves admit reet doesn't exit while all the while its them with dirty secrets hiding in thier closet.

Your missing the point my friend..
The difference between Rah/Ely/Ecl/ToT and Ðragons/ND/Pack is the fact we (as Ðragons atleast) have nothing but denied these rumours the first thing they started to fly around. There is absolutely nothing to hide or to tell. So the real question is, why isn't "the other side" doing the same? I would guess that is because the trueth will come out eventually and they know everything they are claiming right now will have aftereffects and it would be a bad move to bury chances before claiming a decent status in the universe compared to other alliances as well as the hatred against blocking itself.
Then ofc, after there's some solid proove, those certain staff members of certain few alliances will come out to say "We never claimed we didn't ally each other. We were merely looking for the right time to make it official" ...with clear conscience ofc.
btw, Joe.. maybe it's time u change ur forums account.. this 1 is getting rather old already, don't u think?

Hrm, but obviously there's no communication between yourselves incase a counter block must be formed ... RIGHT?!?!
You're doing no better then what Rah/Ely/Ecl/Tot are doing, you're just admitting that there are no 'official' ties at this moment.

Hum communications.. ofc we keep in touch with our friends. Don't u?
We've known about these agreements for a long long time. It has been no secret to any1.
Surely, if we were counter blocking, we would have set things in motion ages ago?

I can confirm that, and by 'unless' I mean if EET or REET or whoever is owning, we will block to prevent them having a comfortable ride (:
and what liz said, I talk to him, Jurgen, Biusa etc a lot, because they're good mates. Dragons/ND does not exist, and I barely even speak to WP members anymore, and that defenitely does not exist either.

for a moment i almost forgot that Eclipse, Elysium,ToT, Dragons, NewDawn and Pack were the only alliances playing round 10.
but tbh if ND wanted to counter EET if it does Exist it wouldnt be that difficult to get a few of the smaller alliances to side with them, as the main alliances arent as big as they used to be and are on a more level playing feild.

No, for once it's a truthful statement.
Look at r9.5, all the alliances that stated CATIGORICALLY that they would not work with any other such organisation.
What happened next?
Everyone fell far behind LDK and resorted to banding together to take them down, which means that they broke their word then.
It's impossible to make a statement that will remain truthful throughout the round whatever happens without including a word such as unless; political circumstances change, and needs change.
Whilst it may be taken as an attempt to preemptively justify the formation of a counterblock, which is possible, it's also possible for it to be a recognition of the fluid political reality which must exist for a universe of this size to stop the game drifting into stagnation. The only barrier to that at the current moment in time is the lack of understanding of the game mechanics.

Elysium has never, ever cared about AD and the public opinion when it comes to things like this, thats the simple why.

before everyone banded together and hit ldk - tho there was never, or very seldom at least, any merged attacks at ldk and there was not much cooperation in total no communication channel between the alliance hcs as far as i know(someone correct me if im wrong im no hc) - ldk allied dragons and thus broke their pledge for going solo.
So if everyone would have stayed solo it would have been fairer but after all as long as ppl see a chance to win against an alone invincible alliance if they will ally, they will do it and ldk simply was faster, which shows that they in general had better tactics last round
The only question is why is it necessary to have powerblocks as early as this - if they exist that is. At this stage noone has really gained a big advantage and allying together now only shows that you dont have trust in your own alliance even before the real attacking has started...
Lame i think...

Which is it? Is it 1?—Are ND solo? Is it 2—Do they plan to block if it turns out someone else is owning? Or is it 3—do they plan to not block at all? You've said all three. Guess I will close my eyes and pick one at random.
If ND plan to block if it turns out someone else is owning, surely you must have some idea of whom to block with, else it could turn out the whole universe is blocked up and ND is left out in the cold. So who is it? Do you deny that ND has no one in mind to block with should the need arise? And if you do not deny it, how can you say you do not plan to block?
Inquiring minds want to know

This is the one of the saddest threads I've seen on alliance discussions. It confirms for me that indeed all the politically creative leaders in planetarion have moved on and all that people do is rinse and repeat the same political mechanations from previous rounds.
Come on! Put some effort into the wheeling and dealing!
This game got old the moment power blocking became some sort of cardinal sin.
J. Carpenter,
*the above opinions are not necessarily those of ND command, despite my historical connection to that alliance*

From here on out, I will use one, and only one, catch-phrase to deal with any rumors regarding ND being evil.
The phrase is as follows,
"I Love You! Good Morning!"

I assumed they had kept quiet because their previous 'trips' to AD (I remember one by Eylisia specifically) have ended in humiliation or just made them look stupid. Perhaps they are actually more intelligent than they are given credit for (unlike most of the rest of us).

Isn't that common sense? ND are solo, and shall be staying solo unless the need arises to not be solo. We have no plans to block with anyone. Why plan to block with someone if we dont know who will be winning?
*edit* or if, indeed, blocking is necessary.

All im saying is...that Elysium has never really had a strategy when it comes to "propaganda". The alliance made a fool of herself in r4 because of peons/noobs, like partly myself, commenting things they knew nothing about. Ever since its been like a tradition to stay away from AD.
Surely, when a rumour changes its form and in the public eyes becomes a truth, then you may have seen ppl from the ely command trying to deny the very thing. A reply made by someone in the command will close to always be found in the last pages of a thread, thats the point I tried to make.

So they were solo until they were forced into it? ISN'T THAT WHAT FISH JUST SAID?

Why would it be fairer? The alliance with the best start, due to large random galaxies (meaning you can't hit the members effectively), would be untouchable unless the others were forced into blocking, which is WHAT FISH JUST SAID

Because people don't want to lose.

erm, you missunderstood lei there,
1. ldk allied dragons first, before anyone else banded together
2. no one banded together in rd 9.5, which is the reason why the round was lost vs a minority. there were no organization chans, no hc meetings, no shared defence, nothing.
the only case where something happened in a coordinated way was the fleet catch on sliekas, and that only because gosu organized it, and we pulled our alliances into it (mostly fang, but a few eclipse and tot ships)

let me give you another example, this is a game as we all remember, so its similar to a sporting match, now in boxing if you fight against someone who is stronger, bigger, better do you call in your 7 mates?
no, because it wouldnt be fair
now of course its the sense of this game to band together if your loosing, but from a strictly speaking point it isnt fairplay.
it is within the rules, so its okay, but the other alliance could without any arguments say you werent fair, you had x-times more players than we do.

just shows that people who block this early, arent confident in their alliance.
legion/fury/Rb were confident enough in rd 3 to say from the start they can beat 4/5th of the universe.
nowadays an alliance doesnt even believe they can beat 1/3

1 and 2 are incompatible, and 1 is immaterial anyway ('But they did it first!')
It may not have been a block in the conventional sense, but there was cooperation which goes against what people said.

Actually, in a boxing match, people are organised by weight so there isn't such an imbalance.

Look at R6. People may complain, but it was a great round.

You might want to have a word with kjel about his confidence in FAnG then.

actually they arent, just refuted your point.
and no, 1 attack for coorporation excuse me???
until the end i attacked eclipse planets, sometimes as mistake sometimes simply because i felt like it.
true in a boxing match there are rules, but lets take football, would you say Real Madrid vs Fc Pasching (very very small austrian club) would be fair? no it prolly wouldnt be, but still fc pasching would use only 11 players, and not 34 which might be the number where the game would be fair.
Rd 6 is something else, there were 3 equally strong blocks, so the whole round was a give and take and it wasnt sure who'd win until the very end.

lol, you're missing his point but nm. Becides, in PA alliances are limited in size aswell. So infact, you CAN recruit upto 150 so the numbers would be even in the most extreme case. So again a 1 vs 1 is fair cause both can get to the memberslimit.
Just like in a boxing match, it depends on skills and movement(which would be translated in PA as activity)

More than one attack. And officers working together to organise such things seems like cooperation to me.

That isn't what you said earlier.
Earlier (in the boxing example) you stated that 'ganging together with 7 mates' wouldn't be fair, here you state that it would be.
Make up your mind.
[edit]
Oh, and the game isn't about being fair, it's about fun and (for some) winning.

ohh ffs, quit whining m8. Fact is, in PA both alliances can get to 150 players. So yes, it's fair a 1 vs 1, always. If needed you just massrecruit or dunno what.

are you deliberatly misunderstanding my points????
1. states that LDK and DRAGONS banded together.
2. refutes that the opposition banded together
there were 3 attacks total, 1 was an eclipse attack, which they did without fang participation, some tot ships helped, but i dont know how that was organized.
then the one on sliekas. Martin and i organized that one, both being fang officers at that time.
they only "coordination" that happened was, martin telling heartless (close friend of ours) that there would be a good window of opportunity for a fleetcatch so tot sent 200k fighters.
eclipse got the same message via lockhead and sent 100k
fang sent about 900k.
*sarcasm* OH NO A BLOCK
come on get real.
concerning the last point, it is made unclear by my lacking control of the english language. it wouldnt be fair for Real, since it hardly is their fault that pasching got no good players, but it would be the only way pasching had a chance to win.
of course people will ally in PA if they dont stand a chance to win alone. i learned my lesson in rd 9.5, we decided NOT to ally eclipse and tot, on a principle basis, and as a result we got our ass kicked. be that because ldk hat better players or better multis or they bribed spinner is completly beside the point.
we took the fair approach and got killed.
the alliances which spawned these discussions didnt, they supposedly allied before any oposittion even had a planet (note as far as i am concerned this is all rumour, since i havent seen any proof yet).

You seem to have a real problem understanding the most simple of points.
Quote:

Talking about different alliances, unless you think it makes sense to talk about LDK and Dragons "co-operating" to take down Sliekas???
And his use of the word "fair" in 2 places may be a little confusing, but its pretty obvious what he means.
Little team vs. Big Team wouldn't be a fair (as in equal) fight, but little team would play fairly (by the rules) and not put extra players on the pitch. Better?
[edit]
Should have given unf_slasher a bit more of a chance to reply maybe
