Although with the crossover between apprime, oddr and xvx there was already a nice counter in place there so I guess we'll be back to normality soon enough.

You seriously decided to wait until we was 1/3rd of the way through the round until you make your prediction?

Then on top of that, you dont even predict that CT will be able to stop Apprime? after saying CT was up for the fight this round and going for #1?

wtf.

Its never enough to win.... Blocks very very rarely ever stay together long enough to secure the win. Once Apprime slips down the rankings, the block will fail and then Apprime will climb the rankings and win.

What sarcasm? He made a pretty realistic prediction? Its what most likely is going to happen.. Apprime in #1 and CT in #2 as they decided to fence half way through

Re: rd 40 predictions... go go go

my prediction was also before other developments and was based on the fencefest, obviously things have changed and ofc we are playing to win but was my prediction written in blood and what i really thing the outcome of the round will be?? no.

as for the block failing, ofc it will split up to some extent, the objective was to remove some fences and pull back apprime a bit so that we can have a closely contested round, not to secure a win. I would like to thank everyone who helped to stop this becoming another X alliance wins by tick 300!

now lets stop the crying and have fun!!

'The objective was'? Why are you talking in past tense? Now i could be completly wrong and CT wants to stay in the block for another week (at least the weekend+monday) but i get the impression from that post that CT see's apprime as knocked back and the round is now open. This is the usual mistake from CT and ND, which i hope you're not going to make again.

If you abandon the block, Apprime will regrow within 5days and will cruise to victory as once the block disbands, it will not be able to reform as we'd of started hitting each other. Apprime is nowhere near dead or knocked out, they still have a nice value lead and will regain the lost roids extremly quickly (especially if the rest of us are fighting between outselves).

Yes, Rock is pretty fat right now and you've got a huge instinct to protect your 2nd place, its CT genes. However, you've got to fight that urge and stay with the block. 2,3,4,5th rankings are meaningless in the fight for #1 while apprime is still strong and able to come back.

Here's the lowdown on what will happen, if CT does what i'd think they want to do:
CT hits rock, as rock is fat and closing in on them.
Rock retaliates and hits CT.
ODDR decides to fence and nap Apprime, no point them getting involved.
ND isnt strong enough to fight or hold back Apprime by themselves.

Apprime cruises to victory while CT is left fighting for #2 again.

Every single alliance with eyes for #1 this round, needs to stick together until Apprime is 100% dead.

Im fairly certain, when Apprime wins.. It'll be CT's fault for fighting someone for 2nd place.

Why would we nap app, we said we'd keep round interesting and we are doing just that

apprime will never be 100% dead they just lost roids not value.

Take it from someone who's been on both ends of the pointy stick, there's not an alliance in existence who can't be put to bed for good during a round. What it does require is tenacity and the ability to carry on grinding when everyone else is bored shitless. Do any of the current alliances have that? I dunno, guess we'll find out soon. My guess would be that one alliance might try it but the other ones would try and profiteer from the situation making a real horses ass of it and handing app the round on a plate instead.

As far as im aware, ODDR is not part of the alliances which are currently PTargetting Apprime? Just heard that ODDR is 'hitting some apprime planets' as in galaxy raiding.

Its mainly morale based, if you can kill any hope of there top planets finishing #1.. They wont put the effort in to regrow. However, if you leave them on 500 roids and top10 value, they'll happily carry on playing as they know they can regain those roids fast and have the value to do so.

Good thing is, we've took down alot of Apprime's top planets and basically knocked them all out of the top10 (or they should fall out soon). Now all we need to do is keep the pressure up so they lose more roids (or cant regain those roids) and everyone catches them up on value.

Not according to our intel, but that might not always be 100% just like saying apprime will be 100% dead in a week.

Re: rd 40 predictions... go go go

I'd agree that this round has opened up a lot more possibilities than in previous rounds, and a lot of alliances are putting in max effort. It's good to see with the dwindling numbers as far as total planets in the universe, it's getting harder and harder to have competitive rounds.

Light, I hope you have have a pretty good psychic, as you seem to think you can predict the actions of alliances your not in, anyways, good luck with that.

Re: rd 40 predictions... go go go

Aslong as teh block stays togther then you guys have chance of overtaking Apprime though id my money on NeDawn over CT being the 2nd placed allaince.

But the 2nd to 5th alliances are fickle and as was said with ROCK's huge roid count and overall lacking skill to keep it the likes of ND or CT will turn on them becuase its easier.


As soon as one alliance turns its head from battling Apprime you are all ****ed cos then Apprime will hunt you down one at a time, its said an elephant doesnt forget and Apprime is mighty big

Yeah, because making predictions and drawing logical conclusions from a set of facts is pretty much the same as reading the tea leaves.

Re: rd 40 predictions... go go go

Thumbs down to all the alliances who gang up on 1!

Why don't you just pick a 1 on 1 fight but lead every round into a block war? This only shows one thing: CT doesn't have the required activity to manage apprime on their own. Any win of the block would be nothing but a shame like Vamp said while a loss would be a total disgrace.

I dont quiet understand your point?

Are you implying that Apprime is the best alliance this round, so the only honorable thing to do would be for everyone to just sitback and let Apprime win? What a fun round that would be, we could of had 600 ticks of everyone being idle and Apprime roidracing vs themselves! Last week would be epic with Apprimes top planets trying to find the last few people playing to roid and who can launch there fleet to land on them first! EORC would be fun as well, "well, we were the best alliance.. so what did you expect to happen? everyone quit when they realised who was the best, so we won".

I'm going to go out on a limb here and presume you're not extremly stupid or that you're not Yoshika's alter-ego. However, i just cant understand your reasoning.. Yes, Apprime has higher quality members than CT.. We all know that? Thats why the block is in place, to stop Apprime running away with the easy win due to there quality.

Any win of the block, would be a win they deserved. PA isnt just about the quality of your members but also the quality of your politics. At the moment, Apprime has no real friends in the universe except ODDR and they have 3 enemys who are fighting for #1 spot.

If you want to play a game, where it only matters about the quality of yourself or your team.. and nothing to do with communication, politics, or strategys... Then may i suggest Farmville to you? You can spend as much time as you like on it, and theres a highscore list which shows you the top10 farms in your friends list! Have you got the skill to get to #1?

First, your making the assumption that only CT wants to win this round, to assume is the mother of all f&@# ups......

apparently you've been playing checkers for the last 39 rounds. Apprime blocked pre round, they can say they didn't, deny it all you want..., but sorry, everyone with any sense knows better, so that BS ain't flyin.. simple as that. They also tried to fly some BS about "not knowing" they were targeting a particular alliance, which doesn't fly, as they had that alliances coords almost immediately after tickstart.

that in mind, don't EVEN start whining about blocks. This round politically has become one of the most interesting in recent memory, quite a few alliances are within striking distance of the win... that's a good thing, whether you and your buddies like it or not.

edit: spelling

I'm saying: Why does CT not fight them 1 on 1? Why do alliances always drag others into their shit? I'm speaking about CT now but this applies to every other alliance who does this. Ganging up always brings stagnation with it once the common enemy is beaten.
As for your unneeded assumptions and explanations: Keep them for yourself.

CT does not fight 1 on 1, as CT does not have the quality to beat Apprime 1 on 1... As i said, as everyone knows.

ND does not have the quality to beat Apprime 1 on 1.
ODDR does not have the quality to beat Apprime 1 on 1.
Rock does not have the quality to beat Apprime 1 on 1.

So you know why they gang up? as when they gang up, they can beat Apprime. There is no stagnation as there is no agreement on naps to be kept once Apprime is dead.

Even if Rock, CT, and ND stayed allied after Apprime is dead.. they've bought more life to the round, than if they let Apprime sail off into the distance at tick 300.

The round is extremly open and for once, if Apprime is killed enough.. 4 alliances have the potential to win (At this moment in time.. its 5 inc Apprime).

I said in my previous post, i thought you wasnt stupid.. i'd like to retract that statement. If you cant grasp the concept of when an alliance doesnt have the quality to beat another alliance, that they should use quantity.. then you have no hope and should never engage in any political discussion.

Yeah, except not. I'd advise you to check up on PA history, because you seem to be unaware of anything that's happened ever.

Re: rd 40 predictions... go go go

I don't see why Apprime wouldn't want to sit back, take their beating and try and win an open round. After all, they should have the activity to do that in such a scenario.

Winning the hard ones is what it's all about.

Tbh out of all those allies, 2 of them could actually beat app 1 vs 1 because they have the skill to do it. The memberbase is another thing, lazyness is the devils handywork.

that being said, alliances are made between allies for the reason you just stated and APP being the one who has dominated past rounds and several allies showing their hate for it.

The point is, if only 2 alliances do it.. Whats going to happen to the 3rd alliance? They're going to easily go into the distance which makes the war a moot point. Much better if they all fight apprime and stay on a roughly equal footing.

Then on top of that, you dont even predict that CT will be able to stop Apprime? after saying CT was up for the fight this round and going for #1?

wtf.

A logical conclusion from the word no would be no, so i dispute lights ability to draw logical conclusions from a set of facts!

Mb. probably a total flame but that glaring lack of humour and self rightesnous made me chuckle. Predictions this round - CT will bum you all x I base that on the fact I have ordered 80 set of gimp uniforms baring a CT logo and 80 spanking paddles to suit. x

You know, that saying 'no' does not mean sarcasm. In his post, he was implying that he made that prediction seriously but it was before the block formed.

So, i'll show you the logic as you cant seem to follow it:
1. GM Makes a Prediction
2. Light takes the piss out of the prediction
3. AngryDuck says GM wasnt being serious he was just being sarcastic
4. GM says he was being serious
5. Light tells AngryDuck that GM himself says he was being serious

GM saying 'no' after his post, where he's saying that his prediction isnt written in stone or that his post could of been made to make us think CT was weak.. Isnt sarcasm.

Re: rd 40 predictions... go go go

mb means 'my bad'...its a shorthand the community uses a lot in a different game
Light, gm was clearly not being serious, and he said, clearly, he was not being serious. That is the point, yet somehow you have stated for the 2nd time he was being serious. I just don't get it, but then you clearly seem to be operating froma higher plane of wisdom than me so i'm just gonna do my little 'we got #1' dance with the rest of the gimps

Now, the hard part, keeping it.

Lets break his quote down..

Quote:
my prediction was also before other developments and was based on the fencefest
So, he made his prediction before the block was formed and when it was likely Apprime was going to run away with the win. He sounds pretty serious there, trying to justify his prediction rather than shrug it off and say he was joking.

Quote:
obviously things have changed and ofc we are playing to win
The next line is him saying that his prediction is now probably wrong, as the universe has changed and theres now a block which is targetting Apprime.

Quote:
but was my prediction written in blood
In other words, his prediction can change, not that it wasnt serious.

Quote:
and what i really thing the outcome of the round will be??
This last question can be taken multiple ways, You can take it at facevalue and presume GM's prediction was infact a cunning political ploy and using the forums to his advantage to say to the universe Apprime will win unless we do something, that it isnt his actual prediction but something he had to say.

but then, why did he just use the last 3 lines trying to justify his prediction if it was just a political ploy.

Quote:
no.
As you keep pointing out, apprently this means something.. when it doesnt? Its just saying no to the 2 questions he asked but anyone when reading the post understands that the answer to those questions was no.

At no point during his post, did he imply that he was being sarcastic or that he wasnt being serious. His post is him trying to justify his prediction, not to say his prediction was a joke.

Then we can take his original prediction post:
Quote:
#1 - App
#2 - CT
#3 - ND
#4 - Rock
#5 - ODDR
What exactly is a joke or sarcastic about that? It was a pretty accurate prediction of how the universe would unfold if the block didnt form. I just found it lols that he didnt predict CT to win, that although they say they're fighting for #1.. that he thinks they will fail.
