According to "you lot" ascendancy don't have to fight to reach your self proclaimed godlikeness.
Haven't read the rest of the thread because quite honestly I'm pissed and I just want to sleep.

Given the current state of Planetarion, and the reduced playerbase and alliance limit, I'd say 170 calls a night would be on the upper end of anything you're likley to get. I, for one, am not comparing r15 eXi def call volume to r21 WP def calls. But I will say it's relative.

Re: TGV member and losing roids? Thank Kargool.
Gonna be fun now the coming days.
CT are not competent enough to get #1 as alliance, so now they are trying for #1 planet
Thats like running in the Olympics, ending last, but feeling proud cause you got a "speshal" medal.

R15 had the alliance limit of 80 compared to the limit of 60 now. While 170 fleets might be what alliances were able to muster, I do think it would be possible to do better.

Re: TGV member and losing roids? Thank Kargool.
Hey guys, let's just settle this by stating that trying to win without actually waging war on other contenders for an extended period of time is rarely ever going to work.

Oh, but you are talking a different scenario here. eX vs 1up was always a 1 on 1 thing. There was no third party with similar skill. In this kind of scenario of course you would want to partner up with any alliance in order to crush your contender, and as soon as possible.
And in reply to Stoom: For all intents and purposes, i see no difference between 'you can not do it' and 'you can do it, but so far it has never happened / always failed'. This is of course, just my practical point of view.

The only reason that it has never happened is that this scenario has only occured once (which was last round) and the alliances involved didn't seem interested in winning.

As hude pointed out, the difference in member limit is 20, that's at max 60 fleets (realistically it's 40 as you aren't going to get people to 3 fleet).
On top of that, the smaller universe means that you're more likely to get random incs, that was half of CT/Destiny/VGN's excuse for not going to war last round.
Have you guys not learned anything from 1up in round 13 and 15? In both of these rounds, 1up was the proclaimed the 2nd best alliance by eXi despite them not even being in top5 in round 13 and being ranked 5 or so in round 15.
If you want the #1 spot you need to fight for it, there's no difference between #2 and #10.

In a real war situation, you wouldn't disclose who you're going to attack to a potential enemy before you attack, would you?
I'm all in favour of twisted, lying PA politics, it's what makes the game interesting if you ask me. It just seems that some players/alliances are getting a bit too anal about these matters.

That's where i differ. In order to sacrifice your standing in a game, your chances to win have to be good enough. Neither CT nor Angels have any good chance to win at the moment, so they would be most likely only sacrificing their 2nd place.

Who remembers the 2nd place alliance? Seriously I'd rather Finnish 5th than not even try and win.

Re: TGV member and losing roids? Thank Kargool.
Hmmm,
Jester, I think you probably WANTED to hit TGV and are using this as en excuse.
Anyone who is anyone in pa knows Kargool is bound to be an arse over this, and really doesnt care how his actions cause reactions on his alliance. In short, he simply doesnt think ahead.
I think you knew this, indeed if you wanted to avoid this in any way you would of gone to any other HC bar Kargool.

I hope you are referring to Pre- Round 10. If not. Get a clue. Exil's term was during some of the most inactive rounds ever played in this game. Though they had the most "news" pa had seen in a while. Its generally agreed on that exil were simply the most active, which does not constitute better standards. You and hude probably "wasted more time" than the average PA player would be more accurate, if not exact.

Not really, no. TGV just hit enough Ascendancy galaxies that motivated enough of us to give them a proper response. And rightly so, in my opinion, they deserved it.

This is really quite untrue. We were talking about if we'd do anything tonight, jester pasted his conversation with kargool and we went "well, i guess we need to hit tgv then".

Re: TGV member and losing roids? Thank Kargool.
At least this running joke got a 4 pages long forum thread about him
Its a bit like M.A.S.H the tv show, where they celebrated 11 Christmases and the Korea war only lasted 3 years.

Re: TGV member and losing roids? Thank Kargool.
Just to clarify...
Jester went to kargool to discuss politics.
'Some' asc have posted here about wanting to hit tgv/kargool (motivated to/hating in the last few posts).
I took that as wanting to hit them.

So he gave them the coy little wave and realized it probably would have been more effective if he hadn't been lying on their turkey.
