Re: eX/VS fleetcatches
I'm going to make my comment on alliance politics for this round.
As we all know, the CT BG fuked over InSomnia which left them with a very low membercount. Mek & the other HC team took appropriate action and merged into VS.
My personal opinion of VS
VS napped with eXilition very early into the game. Smart move? Yes. VS knew the universe didn't have the intellegence to stop eXilition and they wanted to secure a good position. On the other hand, I would call VS cowards for not fighting eXilition. If VS had the full 70 members, then they would have a very good chance of winning this round.
The "anti eXilition" block would of suceeded if all alliance's made better communication. Pulling out enabled eXilition's victory.
eXilition, in my opinion have a very good high command. They know how to win rounds. I cannot see eXilition ever losing due to the "n00bness" of high command in other alliance's. People lose roids then "quit".
I just want to say, well done to eXilition, you deserve to win, no matter how much people whine about how you ruin the game. eXilition doesn't ruin the game, they are just very orginised, more then I can say about the other alliance's.
I'm not a debating person. I've said my opinion and I will not post on this thread again.
Let the spamming begin. :-)

We didn't "fuk over" InSomnia. If anything we were somewhat "fuked over" by the fact that we were told they had 30 members to go with what we had in the AG, and thus would be able to challenge for the round win. They didnt, so then we didn't join them as wanted to be in a "top" alliance with an oppurtunity for a win.
It's all i seem to write on these boards these days, but can we please stop the ill informed rubbish.

we recruited 5 players in 24 hours and had 26 people in the channel the day i booted all of you out of it. although we had less than what we planned to start with we actually had around 32 players the day you lot shipped out. So the oppertunity was there for insomnia and CT to hit around the 60ish players mark and push for the top, sadly you guys didnt want to take it.
dont ever say we never tried to rectify the situation we unfortunately found ourselves in.
anyway this is different topic for a different thread so i wont say anything more than that.

What it says is that eX's reputation and drive are just about the only things left in PA that can counter the general apathy afflicting everyone else. Unfortunately but entirely predictably it mostly excited people who wanted to play with them.

You forgot to mention. We started cause of my holiday with the VS project 1 week before rnd start. Priv channel 4 days before round start with no site and tools.
We indeed has some luck this rnd. for us some good moves with indeed napping Exi. And we are still on track with achieving our goals this rnd. And that is not #1 ally, cause that was impossible. We never played for that and we will not be doing that this rnd.

You keep a second browser window open pre-set to recall the fleet so all you have to do is click the submit button. I dodged a fc this way a few days ago.
Fair enough on the Fr, Ive mostly seen fi and co catches.

Re: eX/VS fleetcatches
I am not actually sure i want to make a new thread, but after several discussions within destiny and a few other places, i have come to the conclusion that it is not Exio who won this round through politics but the rest of the universe lost ot through sheer stupidity and not having the slightest clue about tactics, both on a planet and alliance wide level.
