Re: Block!
Hmm... not sure who is sleeping with who but there is quite a bit of coordination going on. In either case, with the way the stats are set up and with the amount of ships/fleets flying about I dont think any 1 block has an advantage over another. Its making it quite interesting for the moment. But will see if a tipping point comes.

Re: Block!
it really all comes down to which block starts infighting first. Seeing as CT are glory whores and Apprime/Ultores have both been there and done it repeatedly i can imagine the big CT block will implode in about 400 ticks, especially if DS cap better roids than CT and move ahead of them.
Its just the same old shizz but in new colours.
CT, HaveN, NewDawn and most likely DS do not have the longevity to win, member apathy and revolt is rife. 7 out of 7??

Re: Block!
Coinsidering the plural "threads" in his original post, I'm going to assume Rein meant to make a general comment on the state of AD, not one specifically aimed at this single thread.
(And while I'm deconstructing posts anyway, I originally read yours as "I count one idiot: you.".)

Re: Block!
I think the problem is not so much that this is "another block round" but rather that it's a tedious and predictable block with an obvious and tragi-comic end.

there aren't blocks anymore.
It is just all the alliances hitting one alliance, then letting them back in the block and hitting someone else, repeat etc

Re: Block!
only in this case its most (not all ) of the allys hitting two allys , pushing the two most competent together is probably going to come back and bite the block in the arse so its pretty safe to say they never learn any lessons from previous rounds
slightly ironic how those that create these scenarios also give out the most about them

Doesn't to me, cause right now we aren't involved in anything, and i don't think either side wants extra fleets to deal with right now.

ND and their allie ptargeted app. Since of our neutrality this round We saw this as war declaration and decided after grounding we should retal them.
idk why they went after app or they were asked by certain other friendly alliances. but our policy is known, we start without enemies but we dont let any alliance bully us.

I think Apprimes policy is good.
Certainly ND learned from their flaws, and most likely will think twice if they decide to go after Apprime again, this is how PA should be

well yeah, this is why ND will think twice over attacking Apprime again this round, seeing that they prolly lost more roids than they could cap when they launched the first offensive against them.

MaxMillian just cleared it out for us, Apprime hit ND because they wanted revenge, and im sure the fact they were very fat at the time attracted incs from other allies as well.

Apprime hit ND with THEIR allie (Ultores) because ND had been hitting BOTH Apprime & Ultores.

Re: Block!
So the block has a choice to make soon....
Let ult win or let apprime win its that simple.
We saw a while back what a strike on DS does to them. We all know from past experience what an attack on CT does to them. HvN seem to be having issues with an active command and seem a completely different alliance this round. At the moment it is taking all of the blocks efforts to contain ult ( like last round) while apprime sneak up safe in the knowledge that if they are allowed to grow big enough they can roid/ def vs anyone.
Now this does lead to a interesting scenario one that could result in a 1 v 1. Im sure ult and app command are well aware of the fact that either one will have to beat the other to win. Both know they can roid the block at will and be profitable. At some point it will come down to ult vs app for the win. Does app still have the hunger to win a round or are they just happy to king make ult back to #1 for 6/6 just to annoy the block?

So the block has a choice to make soon....
Let ult win or let apprime win its that simple.
We saw a while back what a strike on DS does to them. We all know from past experience what an attack on CT does to them. HvN seem to be having issues with an active command and seem a completely different alliance this round. At the moment it is taking all of the blocks efforts to contain ult ( like last round) while apprime sneak up safe in the knowledge that if they are allowed to grow big enough they can roid/ def vs anyone.
Now this does lead to a interesting scenario one that could result in a 1 v 1. Im sure ult and app command are well aware of the fact that either one will have to beat the other to win. Both know they can roid the block at will and be profitable. At some point it will come down to ult vs app for the win. Does app still have the hunger to win a round or are they just happy to king make ult back to #1 for 6/6 just to annoy the block?

What block got that choice?
For me it seems that all alliances is more or less playing on their own, from my point of view.
ODDR for one is playing for themself, allthough allied to dS and Apprime, but we will attack those who attack us. If any of the alliances in this game choose to target ODDR, im sure we will want those roids regardless of what block they are or are not a part of.

Err?? Sorry?? Yes because Ultores fair so much better a few days earlier against similar incs.
From memory Ultores lost 13% roids and DS lost 13% - i would imagine both sides had similar incomming numbers ... for teh record DS had 267 incomming fleets that night, from Apprime, Ultores DFWTK and HaveN.
I dont think DS faired too badly considering, if anything it boosted morale a little as it proved they can do it.
