xVx round 31

well now, as i see on sandmans, xvx has a total of 89 members, seemingly alot after last round utter dissapointment for xvx with far lower members.

I hear xvx has taken alot of 'lith' players in, however I guess this is around +10? 15?? max players so who else have they recruited? Why do xvx look so strong and who are there military commanders this round? It's good to see an alliancr such as xvx looking so strong but I'd just like to find out a bit behind what is happening behind the scenes there.

Also have xVx got plans to tackle Ascendancy(seemingly there main competition) from t72 or are they going to take a more laid back approach??

Re: xVx round 31

I know for a fact that xVx's recruitment jingle has been: Join xVx, Ascendancy wont attack us!

So basically what you're saying is that, Ascendancy and xVx made a pretick agreement? Can anyone confirm this from xvx or asc?

Re: xVx round 31

There's no agreement. I'm not going to avoid xvx unless I see something in it for me/asc, which I don't.

Re: xVx round 31

there have been friendly ties with xvx and asc last round and if i get a pm from xvx that i am attacking one of their members and if i want to pull in order for some friendlyness later on i personally most likely will

dunno what the rest of asc thinks of that.

You actually think you're going to need some "friendliness later on". Hilarious.

Yea it does, in this case, you recall an attack that may be landing because you want help that you're never going to need.

Re: xVx round 31

I can't see xvx wanting to fight a war against asc and I don't think they intended to aim for #1 alliance in the first place. But there are no agreements for now, just friendly chit-chat..

Re: xVx round 31

so we have the #1 alliance, and the #2 alliance who are unlikely to go to war? and none of the other alliances are at the strength needed to take on asc....is the round officially now an initiating race?

Okay, I'll say this once as it really needs to be said.

YOU'RE IN ONE OF THOSE BGS LOOKING TO AVOID INCS AND AVOID FIGHTING ASCENDANCY AS A TOP ALLIANCE FROM THE START. YOU CAN'T START CRITICISING PEOPLE WHEN THE ****ING PROBLEM IS YOU.

JBG once you guys have a nice value lead I think you should declare war on the entire uni, for hilarity if for nothing else. If people don't fight back you just take them to the ground

its kinda nice how some people turn from how idiotic it was to fight asc from the getgo last round because they would then not have enough value to do anything for the endgame, and now if someone start a round like most alliances, if not all have in the past, thats a ****ING PROBLEM!

capslock is gay btw.

If you want to start like any other alliance, don't come here complaining about other alliances doing the same, while having no idea about their overall goal/motivation. Unless there's a radical change in alliance size these bg's need to man up and run proper alliances again, after dlr's success last round everyone seems to be joining a bg to get an easier round. Personally I hope we roid all those ego players silly and make them realise bgs won't work in a normal round (r30 was very unusual in many ways). Feels like certain people want to push xVx into something just because they don't want to do it themselfs...

If you're going to ****ing bitch about it on here and hope someone else does your dirty work for you then yeah I'm perfectly willing to call you a hypocritical ****tard. If you want to just sit back and play your round I'm fine with that too.

Re: xVx round 31

xVx is no where near strong enough to fight Asc, just looking at the tag numbers doesnt give you an indication of strength or willpower.

xVx is only favourite for 2nd place, due to Cardi+Liths joining xVx.. It still has the same Core as previous rounds and the same members. Its not full of 90top players, The vast majority of 'top players' this round either joined Asc or went to a BG to 'play with friends'. If those players, had decided to join xVx/ND or CT the situation would be different. In short, xVx is only 2nd due to it being the only alliance (apart from Asc) who has managed to get 90 members.

If you want a different perspective, If Cardi+Liths had decided to join Rock instead of xVx.. then Rock would be 2nd favourite.

Its also interesting to note, that if any of the 'top' BGs decide to join CT or ND then that alliance would automatically become 2nd favourite. So if any of you in BG's decide someone needs to go to war with Asc, you could easily do it.. It just seems that none of you want to go to war with Asc, you want someone else to do it for you. I'd say, this is mainly due to if no-one war's Asc.. then all the BG's simply become farms which Asc can overpower with sheer numbers.

(Note: This is just my opinion, i dont know xVx politics)

How would that work? Ascendancy would just hit who they want and when they want?

...that's pretty much what is happening at the moment anyway

Re: xVx round 31

I like these BG's. I bet it's gonna be a more interesting round for all the people in them than it will be for Asc winning without having to try.

Re: xVx round 31

how so many people have concluded that people join BG's for an 'easy round' is beyond me given asc's recent dominance and the lack of main competitor/rival for them this round

You're really ignorant Mr. Golan. By being in DLR last round, It didn't make it any easier then being in another alliances. Infact it probably made it harder in many respects. I'm absolutely sick of people trying to take credits away from DLR round 30. Let me tell you some facts Golan. DLR had incommings. When DLR had incommings, we ALL grounded defence and we 100% deffed it making it unefficent for alliances to keep targgeting us. BUT ALSO, when we had incommings from alliances, the next day, after we deffed all we could, we 24/7 raided big planets in those alliances, demoralising and roid raping there best/biggest planets, completely slowing ANY alliance down, Ask GM about this, ask ND hcs, ask Wish... Ascendancy did not hit us because of this. whatever crap you keep coming up with about how BGs only worked in R30. Watch DLR do well this round, because DLR is full of active/decent players who care about there friends etc, much like Ascendancy core. I wish people would realise this and stop saying DLR had a easy round blah blah blah. DLR MADE DLR HAVE AN EASY ROUND. not the other way round as far as I'm concerned.

I joined a smal group this round because I didnt have time to setup Omen again for r31 ( exam period! ) and because there were no other good alliances I thought would fight asc. Being in a BG does NOT mean we will not be a part of any fights this round, but atm I dont see a massive need to jump at any given alliance from the getgo either. If we are forced into conflict we will enter the conflict.

Wishmaster surely the point you just made, only claifys JBG's personal opinion. You say you dont need to jump on the any given alliance from the getgo, well ofcourse you dont have to. But the fact of the matter is, you're just as useless as the rest of the alliances out there, simply sitting there and letting Ascendancy dominate once again. It truely is sickening to watch.

It wasn't a personal you, it was a general you slightly aimed at Foxman and more generally aimed at some of the retarded comments I've seen on here. I'm all for people doing what they want to do, it's what we've always done, or at least tried to do at the start!

Do you really think this is new info to me? DLR didn't make DLR have an easy round, the political situation in the universe did.. CT had good success raiding dlr gals (except 7:2) and that's why they kept doing it. Your def fleets were pisspoor and more than once had to recall at eta 1 because of failing to cover properly. You were just lucky enough to have limited + shitty incoming that you could cover with inefficient fleets. Even with these advantages, you still managed to crash your whole fleet after calling me a horrible player in pm.. 7:2 didn't have incoming for a MONTH, anyone not calling this an easy ride must be on some groovy drugs.

And trust me, you really don't want me to get started on DLR politics and the loltrain that involved last round, guess watching first top gal, then top planet and at the last tick top average slip away when they were all 3 right there for the taking has made you even more bitter.
You did nothing worth noting last round.

I cant work out if you're pretending to be plain stupid or you're actually thinking that you're in the right here. Why wouldy an alliance hit DLR last round, other then for bitterness, we had 4 planets worth hitting in 3 2 and 9 2(maybe less in 9 2), when either of those 2 got hit, Most incommings were covered. CT had a personal vendetta against DLR after all DLR gave them ALOT of annoying incommings, I'm sure they'll back you up on this. Ascendancy CHOOSE not to hit DLR because they knew we would be a threat to them, hence it did not make sense politically to hit them, WHY? because of WHO WE WERE AND WHAT WE WERE DOING, you wouldnt just let fat targets sit there if it was not beneifcial and if you did not think we would retal against you or try to defend our roids, you would of roided DLR as soon as the Omen-Asc fighting stopped. I really dont get why you're being so awkward about this. It's silly. 7:2 Didn't go for a time period of a month without incommings, that is incorrect. And foolish to say that. We had no incs because people were afraid to hit us, just as much as it made poltiical sense, sometimes you should ask yourself why it was politically correct not to hit DLR. There must of been a reason, try talking to JBG in pm about it or something.

Due respect to DLR, I quite liked what they did, more than most probably, but unless you're going to claim DLR somehow created the political situation last round rather than "merely" exploiting it I honestly don't see where you're coming from in disagreeing with golan here. I discouraged people from hitting DLR for a couple of reasons, DLR were never a threat for #1 and they seemed perfectly happy to not hit us as long we didn't hit them. Going out and making more enemies when you haven't defeated the old ones is not a good political move usually. I wouldn't advise that regardless of who we were facing off against that, all the way from IPC through to Fury. Don't have a clue about how good your def was last round, I didn't pay attention to be honest although I do recall CT would have greater success roiding DLR gals than targetting us anyways.

Absolutely the political situation allowed us to 'have an easy round.' But I'll ask you this, had CT HC been running DLR, do you think DLR would have had such an easy time? We also took proactive political decisions to further help discourage incs on us.

CT had limited success raiding DLR gals (considering they had ~5 times our members, I'd say very limited would be more appropriate). We attacked them back for hitting us, which is the reason the kept attacking us also (I guess, I don't pretend to understand what goes/went through CT's head).

What was pisspoor about our def fleets? Neither can I recall anyone recalling defense from my planet eta 1 once the entire round, nor myself recalling a def fleet eta 1 from someone else's planet; if 'more than once' means twice, then sure, maybe that happened. But if you're using 'more than once' as a vague term to suggest it happened with any sort of regularity, you are mistaken. What was inefficient about our def fleets?

Top gal and planet were never goals of ours, merely nice publicity while they lasted. As far as top average, it would have been nice to have and we expected going into the round to win it (I would have left the tag myself had I known Asc was going to take it on the last tick), but nobody cared enough to play the game in a way that prioritized it. And in fairness to CBA (regardless of whether he believes what he's posting or just trying to get a rise out of you), he was away from planetarion when all three of those things 'slipped' away from us.

Judging by the emergence of a handful of similar (I'd assume) 'BGs' for this round, I'd say at least a few people noted what we did last round.

Re: xVx round 31

One of the things that occurs to me about "inefficient def fleets" although it's not really a fleet issue more of a race/planet thing was the fact you'd all gone etd/xan. Nice for roiding and all but versus a decent fi/co wave (that is one including a solid fleet of cutlass) you're in trouble. You either need mass emp to 100% cover or mass fi to flak through the attackers emp and kill enough cutlass to make it a vaguely landable def.

I dunno if golan was thinking of other things as well/instead of that. Informative reading the rest of your post though! This may have been mentioned elsewhere but what were your actual goals for last round? Just to play in the way that you did, ie defend en masse when needed and attack big hostiles when it wasn't, or something more specific?

Our one and only goal for last round was to have top avg score, but as zebra mentioned that slipped away at the last tick buy like 20k or something(i can't remember exactly but it wasn't much).

Nice for roiding and all but versus a decent fi/co wave (that is one including a solid fleet of cutlass) you're in trouble. You either need mass emp to 100% cover or mass fi to flak through the attackers emp and kill enough cutlass to make it a vaguely landable def.

I dunno if golan was thinking of other things as well/instead of that. Informative reading the rest of your post though! This may have been mentioned elsewhere but what were your actual goals for last round? Just to play in the way that you did, ie defend en masse when needed and attack big hostiles when it wasn't, or something more specific?
The biggest oversight we had was not having any ziks; cutlass would have made a world of difference to our calcs on a daily basis. We are (or like to be) an attack oriented alliance, so last round was very out of character for us. It was hard to justify going out to attack a gal when we couldn't even cover it properly (size of gals vs. size of our tag, and general inactivity/laziness), on top of the fact the most efficient thing to do with our low number of fleets and high roid counts was to defend. We hoped for the day when we would get mass waved and roided down (honestly), so we could start being a launch/recalling nuisance to the fattest planets with our north american FI/CO fleets, but that day didn't come until we had mostly lost interest.

I think the three biggest reasons why DLR played solo again last round were 1) Grog was willing to put in the effort 2) we all knew each other and have enjoyed this game together for many rounds (free from random idiots that the larger allies house) and 3) it was supposed to be the last round. Personally I have trouble separating this from our goals (reasons why we play), but generally people said 'highest average' to have something tangible to aim for. Also personally, I took this “goal” for granted/given because we are, on average, better than any other alliance out there (mostly because we have relatively less dead weight); the only top 60% of the tag counts toward the average thing kinda messed that up for us though. I would have liked to harass the top planets more (hard to justify as stated above), done some fleet catches (pointless with salvage last round), and roided elviz once we starting launching at Asc (would a massive FI/CO faked as BS wave even have worked?) – failed goals of mine. I'm kind of weird about why I play PA though, so I'll try and bug some other guys to post their thoughts on this (I'm curious too).

edit: 1) I don't mean to say Grog does all the work, because that's not even close to true. So very many people contributed so very much of their time to our alliance last round, but ultimately I feel that without Grog at the helm it just wouldn't have worked.

edit2: i cant believe i missed this gem from CBA earlier in the thread, thanks theodb you pnapper!

Re: xVx round 31

I'm still waiting on Marka/Sky or any xVx representative to come forward and explain in English, how they've recruited so many people and what there goals are. This thread should encourage someone from xVx to post as it's pretty obvious by the title it's going to talk about xVx..

Re: xVx round 31

I think they personally don't give a shit about a discussion concerning their strategy, tactics or whatever. This thread probably will stay a hollow shell of speculation and assumptions.

I dont understand what you want...

They didnt do any special recruiting, they recruited the same as they always did. Its just Cardi+Liths switched over to xVx, which made xVx get stronger in the eyes of certain people, making them also more likely to join xVx (Take the prediction thread for instance, people put xVx highly.. making it easier to recruit).

xVx goals are the same as always, to have fun. As far as im aware, we currently have no other goals. We certainly have no intention of solo-fighting Asc and have no plans for war at this time. Obviously things can change.. i.e. if a block forms against Asc, its impossible to know which side we would join (I guess it depends on how strong the Block is).

(Note: I have no idea on xVx politics, so everything i post is just opinions.. Dont take what i post as the official xVx view. Its one advantage of not being told intel/politics, you can still post freely on the forums )

Having spoken to night-sky a bit last round I can assure you that responding to questions from some guy she doesn't know on a forum she doesn't really like about an issue she doesn't owe anyone an answer on probably isn't that high on her priority list.

I'd say you'd probably have ended up with a value loss on both sides. We'd normally cover large cr/bs waves with fr/de but a good few of our zik fleets were virtually bucc only. Thanks for the rest of your post though!

AH ok, so you're at xvx, thats interesting....

Yes, im xVx.. but i dont know the politics or intel. So everything im posting is opinions, not xVx's official views (im pointing that out every post, so someone doesnt take what i say.. as xVx stance).

They got the jump and influx of members, as when Cardi+Liths joined.. It brought xVx's profile up to a top-tiered alliance (at least for this round) and favourite to finish #2.

That coupled with ND/CT being viewed as extremly weak (and FanG disbanding), xVx became the only option if you wanted to join a top alliance (except for Asc) if you exclude the BG's.

Re: xVx round 31

There really isn't that many alliances worth joining 3 maybe.. 1 sure thing and then there's the BG's..

Basically it's going to be summer vacation round, atleast this one is short as dunno what would be the point continuing very long as winner should be quite clear around week 4 at latest, even if we'r all betting on one alliance atm.
