R9.5: Vengeance

[Gayle29uk]

Well after the honest but not exactly boastworthy summary of last round this round has been quite different.

Without the blocks destroying everythig in sight we had a much better start for R9.5, as usual I made a complete mess of my own start (ordering reflecs in the first dozen ticks is a BAD thing :/) but many in VGN got off to excellent beginnings. Soron as attack HC got the ball rolling nice and early with the roidings, there were a few complaints about being a little 'optimistic' when picking target gals for a day or two but things soon settled into a nice routine with the usual suspects turning up for their attacks night after night after night. For most of the round Soron was pretty much on his own with organising the attacks but his dedication meant he still churned at least one out every day. Later in the round he was joined by AngelSeven who picked up the reins when Soron wasn't around, as one of those who hardly ever missed an attack he was the ideal choice. We didn't participate in many of the huge battles around the universe (we were there for a few but not many) but we certainly stole a lot of roids this round

Moving on to defence, this has always been our strong point and this round we surpassed ourselves. The defence was stunning to say the least, defence calls were many times covered in a matter of minutes no matter how big the incoming. To my knowledge not one attack reported to us at ETA 8/9 went uncovered and the only ones we ever really worried about were the in para LDK Xan attacks but we still managed to cover most of those. As a whole 90% of all attacks on VGN planets were fully covered, of the remaining 10% maybe half were covered enough to force a recall (or looked like they were ) so approx 5-7 out of every 100 attacks reported to us was undefended. I don't know how that stacks up against other alliances but I for one am damn proud of all the VGN members who contributed to that statistic. Thanks to the stunning defence system designed and coded by _are_ we normally run without a DC, the members can see what's going on at a glance and send their fleet where it does the most good. Sometimes this leads to a little overdefending but a number of people have landed in the face of our defence so sending them home with their ass in a sling is worth a few extra ships . For his constant contribution to defence and his assistance co-ordinating things when it got a little to hectic for some Xavier has been promoted to the command team, despite only joining us this round he well and truly deserves it

With the free round our recruitment team under DukePaul were worked to death, many people sent their unallied galmates our way (a nice vote of confidence) and we took many of them in, some of them were inactive fairly quickly but many of them blossomed and helped make our round what it was. The closed system of most larger alliances amazes me, you're missing out on so much new talent but I shouldn't complain about that as it means more of them for us . It's not an exageration to say that without them we could never have managed what we did.

So, where did we end up? Our top planet belonged to our attack HC, Soron and once again shows his position is justified. Starlock was second with 20 million and whole that may seem like a big jump we had a lot of members clumping up around that mark and down. No-one in the VGN top 50 had less than 6.5 million by the end of the round and as over half our members were new/returning players I think that's pretty good. We're not a bunch of leet players but we certainly have a lot of people who are able to play the game to a pretty good level and know what they're doing. Our final tag ranking on pilkara of 7th (robbed of 6th by a last tick detagging :/) shows just how far we've come this round compared to the last couple.

Where now? Well we'll be here for R10 that's a certainty. Many of our new members are staying with us and the majority of the old core will be there as always. Starlock will be leading us into the new era of PA with his usual blend of bad spelling and excellent judgement and we'll be right there with him

On a sad note, I have to mention the (well deserved) retirement of _are_, website coder extraordinaire. Our site may not be the prettiest around but by God it's functionality is superb. I'm supposed to be taking over the development of the website (_are_ will remain as host and server admin) and no doubt that will mean a few changes but the base I have to work from is second to none thanks to _are_ and all his work. I know I speak for all of VGN when I say we wouldn't be where we are without you, thank you so much for all your work and I hope you enjoy your free time

To end it all, my thanks and the thanks of the entire command team (both new and old) go to each and every single one of the VGN members, you've helped make us an alliance people respect, I can't mention everyone who's made a difference or this post will be even longer than it already is but you know who you are. Let's really show em what we can do next round and carry on the success! Our motto says it all, it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

See you all on the battlefield.

As someone who has never had any dealings with VGN, can you give us some ranking info on your members, such as top 10 ranked members and average score etc?

Pld for helping the new guys btw.

[Gayle29uk]

As a side note, it has been brought to my attention that one of our recruitment team actually IS leet and his roidcount proves it

[edit]And another \o/[/edit]

[James]

You couldn't have said it better Gayle!

I've been with VGN/SGF/BD/UV/VD since round 3 and this is one of the best rounds. Everyone was so active, defence calls were covered in minutes, attacks were well co-ordinated.

I would like to say congratulations to the entire alliance (esp. HCs) for the most enjoyable round since round 4 and for re-kindling my activity on PA (kinda went down a bit in round 8 and 9)

Also a farewell to _are_ - The original VGN sprang from a cluster alliance in round 3 - c123a and he was an HC. Known him since then and wish him all the luck in the future and i hope to see you online from time to time .

While i'm at it, i'd like to thank my galaxy for being one of the most active i've been in since round 7 . Well played guys and gals!

See you all in round 10
Regards,
James.

[hAl]

Nice to spend another round seeing some nice VGN people.

hAl

p.s. Stop overdefending your members by so much

[Drvar]

damn skippy, what a great round i had with them. in the end i went a bit inactive, also didnt roid much with them (a man has got to get his beauty sleep ffs ) but i defended as much as i could. Thanks for a great round all of you .

btw: i just have to brag about this
I was attacked 2 or 3 times in the last week or two in the game, and the first time i overslept it, the second time it was an inpara xan, and both time, i didnt get defence (i dont blame vgn, i blame myself ). But, apparently, my massive skills in tactics made them recall both times (the escorts too). Considering my tactic was sending my whole fleet out, and the occasional love letter to my attacker, i think im damn leet .

btw2: You can see that Soron is a slovenian ofc...talented man .

[GlowDog]

Greatly put to words again Gayle !

Just one a few words to say after this :

Big allies : please DO set up a recruitment wing or whatever ! we ALL want PA to extend its userbase, we ALL agree in the fact the the community of an alliance is a BIG part of the fun, so why exclude new players ? Embrace them ! motivate them ! teach them !
We took that step, and every bit of effort (yes even the middle-of-the-night0-recruiting) was worth it all the way ! we have some great people amoung us now that just started this round and are all enthousiastic about PA and the community and they will play round 10 now too !

VGN HC/Officers/Members/Bots/Retired Webmasters : YOU ROXXOR ! love you all !
and DAMN DID WE HAVE FUN !

Cheers and see you all rnd 10 !

GlowDog
VGN Recruitment Officer
GC of 4:9:2 : it was a Fun Bunch ! thanx mates for playing with me !

p.s. thanx for highlighting my 1337 roids Gayle

p.s. _are_ WE LOVE YOU ! thanx for all the hard work ! im sure you'll stick around , we're too adorable to leave behind enjoy your retirement though.

[AngelSeven]

First of all....i rule!!
righty...second of all...hAl thanks for the advice but we sometimes have to remind these people out there that we are not a myth. We ARE real and we take no ***** off nobody
i wuld just like to thank all the members of VGN for such a memorable round...especially jonus if hes out there...that little devil has saved my sanity..woo owoowo wo...right sanity as i was saying.....VGN RULES!

Ta Ta For Now

AngelSeven (52:10:3)

P.s Keep a lock on your roids...cos the AngelSquad will be a taken 'em next round meh prettys

[GlowDog]

oh go polish your roids again

who ended up as official VGN chewtoy this round ?

[AngelSeven]

Well...i suppose me but "the one who can't be named (begins with a k** )" didn't do a good enough or a proffessional job about it so i took the role over gracefully....bruies are ganna take a while to go...but i'm pretty sure i'll have some pretty little scars..any one got a tetnus jab? some one drew blood

[Som1]

congrat, though, to be a real outstanding alliance, you need to be able to fight a war and show up some resistance; something you haven't had the chance to prove yet. I guess it will comes with the time and I wish you good luck for it.

[will_japp]

woot! vgn rocks! thanks all for keeping my ass safe and not letting me get raped. its been fun and i will hopefully be with you guys again for the next round.

[in a sarcastic tone] apparently, someone told me that something really cool happens now that the round is over. apparently we get something to help us on the way and then the fun begins. hmmmmm what would this be.......

YAY FOR HAVOC!!!

again, thanks all. have fun.

Actully you are missinformed our wars ended with the death of Fury and Legion. UV, BD and then VGN may have been small back then but we always targeted these two allainces up until thier recent demise.

Of course they werent happy about it and spent a fair amount of time trying to convice us that wasnt the smartest move we could have done. We never declared War Openly on them, becuase they outnumbers us about 100 mil to 1. We were the little guys we continued to attack them all the time even when the rest of your were running scared or changing sides.

Now yes you say everyone attacked fury and legion one time or another, the differance is thats all we did. With the Death of Fury and Legion we have yet to find another arch nemisis, though i am sure one with show its face.

There was one other Allaince we made war on, they thought we were pissy and declared war on us. we hit them for 1 week then they asked for a peace treaty. (Yes they were puny but hey it is still an example)

Really well whatever my members know the truth mate and if i was fill of it they would have left.

I never said we were the sole reason for thier demise only we were apart of it. In your opinon we may not have but in the opinon of our members we were.

We have never been the top allaince (yet) nor have we been apart of your super blocks, if you call this not being apart of your wars, then you should be looking at how you guys look at the universe a bit harder.

We have just been that small allainces cuasing problems, but now we aint so small.

Speaking purely from a Legion standpoint. No offence, but if you, or your members think you played even a dust particle's size role in our decision to leave PA, then quite frankly your dillusional. Reason being, myself, or Grendel (the ones who made the decision) have never heard of Vengeance before. Again, not meant to offend. Just to set the record straight.

Seconded from a Fury point of view.
Furys disbanding is simply down to the point of the original c7r members noone wanted to play r9 in comand. So any basis for a "fury" was missing. This had certainly nothing to do with other alliances, or winning/losing a round. Your claim to be archenemies seems exaggerated as you never played a noteworth role in any fightings involving a topspot or playing with the bigboys. P.S. you admit in your own history you took part in blocking in r8 so your own claim of not beeing part in the political games is contradicting yourself. Furthermore your claims of anyone actually asking you to stop hitting fury/legion, is quiet simply wrong. Because without offending you, noone gave a toss if you did or did not. Simply from the fact the rounds Furgion won, it didnt make a difference and in the rounds we lost it didnt make a difference either coming from the whole universe+kitchensink+reservetire already launching on furgion.

who are uv? :/

[ElvenStar]

A Wonderfull Round By All.

Amazing that for a free round we had very few spies .... But then again perhaps not so suprizing as we have ( yet another refrence to _are_ 's GREAT bot ) high security in place.

On Attacks - I personally attacked 4 times this round ( 2 x with VGN , 2 on my own ) although i did notice many an attack orginized and to the poor sod who sent a cathaar fleet at my galaxy then recalled eta 1 - Guess you should have landed ... i would have stolen only 50 of ya black widows ! , instead due to the annoyance ( and me missing out on the widows i set an attack back at his galaxy ( and score 90 % of his darn fleet ! ). Thanx VGN for allowing me my VENGEANCE ! ;-)

On Defence - I think as many have already said that this round was great for defence, it became silly towards the end many VGN members being bord sent wayyy too much OVERKILL on defence so much so that we made a fair few of them recall, on a whole tho ( yet another referance to _are_ 's Brillant Bot |VGN| ) our bot did make things a billion x's easier he was our defence co-ordinator and did a damn good job at it ( any one who was in a galaxy that VGN had members in would have seen that ! ). I myself was sending out 2 - 3 Fleets everyday for defence ( being Zik i minded that not too much but i did miss my roid growth ) and we had a majority of members defended all the time ( You other alliances should news scan a few ticks after you attack VGN ffs instead of leaving it till you are eta 1 then realizing you are gonna get crushed like a bug ... )

As a whole VGN acted efficantly and as a One Unit no questions asked ( well thats not entirly true the major question we had was "where do i point my fleet ?" ) HC have done a good job as always (thanx goto _are_ for his Bot , website and server hosting {as well as his Linux Tech Support ;-) } Gayle for her dedication, AngelSeven For his motovation and dedication in attacks, Soron for his uncanny ability to turn up and lay down a target, Starlock ofc for his leadership and direction, GlowDog for his enthuisiam {even during Work ;-) } , and all the others too numerous to note here my thanx to you all \o/

to all VGN members it is because of you that all this is possible thanx to you all I hope to see you all in round 10

VGN keep up the good work

Did I say we had anythign to do with you guys breaking up? All I said was that was hit them until Legion and Fury broke up.

Jesus doesnt anyone read what I type properly. As I said to BiggDogg we hit them up until they desided to break up. Due to thier preformance during the rounds i am sure we had nothing to do with the break up.

As far as me saying fury and legion asked us to stop attacking them, thats right it is a load of bollocks if your read what I said again you will note that I was speackign about another allaince that was puny, I would hardly call Fury or Legion puny.

I think what you have all miss was that the point of what i said was that 'We attacked Fury and Legion even though we were much smaller, we had the balls to try and hurt them all the time, of course not as much as bigger allainces and superblocks but then thats to be expected being a smaller allaince.'

I hope that clears up these issues you guys are having with what has been said in the past or recently, I think if you read what I have said before with this in mind you will see that is extactly what I said.

Just to clarify this a little, the methods of trying to convince us this wasn't smart was the tried and tested method of squishing some of our planets in retal . We never gave up though which is Starlocks point I believe

We never declared War Openly on them, becuase they outnumbers us about 100 mil to 1. We were the little guys we continued to attack them all the time even when the rest of your were running scared or changing sides.

I'm gutted, you forgot my beautiful declaration of war on Fury/Legion back in R7

[zakoff]

lo Guys hehe


tis great to see that all at Vgn had a good round, from reading another thread it seems that you did very well, especially from defence.

this was what UV was good for and i am glad to see that it passed on into VGN also.


Good luck in Round 10, mebbe a top 10planet for you??

funny to see that whenever the name Fury is spoken some people run wild and boost in to protect the name without reading correctly WHAT was said I guess you old fury guys are too used to being criticised

[ElCoro]

I have played 7 rounds of PA and it has been a constant search for an alliance that fits. In my first round with VGN it was apparent to me rather quickly that my search was over. _are_'s def bot is the first thing that grabs your attention but soon after that you start to appreciate the people that make up VGN. I am proud of my 109 def points (all in one round) but unfortunately our attack times are horrible for those who live in USA and I did not join in. Although I did manage to gather 1701 of the little critters without VGN attacks.
If VGN will have me back I look forward to joining them in round 10. Good luck to _are_ but something tells me you work with VGN is now in capable hands (Gayle)

[Ta-lady]

Posts for me are generally 1 to nil since I've started back in r3...however I must say that this round has been the most fun I've had here in quite some time. I have never been in any alliance since I started .. and why should I. This alliance has treated me well .. the friendships irreplaceable. The defense has been superb this round. I'm sure even my gal mates were pleasantly surprised to see how much defense I was able to muster up at MY 4 am - eta 6 - 15 minutes to go b4 next tick... yes you taught me well this round to wake up before my 6 a.m start time *lol* and then to see another round of incoming 12 hours laterz. I think Gayle has recovered from 'my' early morning rantings *lol* I'm sure glad you guys liked my roids but with a little bit of tactic I was able to only muster a loss of 31 roids ... great attribute to the skills of _are_ and his webby where I didnt even have to log onto irc to do it.

Thanks to VGN for restoring my faith back into this game. Wasnt sure if I was going to be back for another round but I will be. I'm excited at what r10 will bring to the members and to this alliance.

To _are_ .. what can I say. After being in command for so many rounds myself I can truly understand the need for a 'real life' and I wish you all the best and its been my pleasure in getting to work with you.

Rest of the command team and members...... Lets rock in r10 !!!!!! I look forward to being a part of this alliance for another round *S*

omg i got mentioned by gayle anyways, it was a lot of fun this round.. probably the best fun ive had in any round .

i'd Have to Thank Gayle, ElvenStar, Angelseven for some amazing organisation in defence Soron for the many attack opputunities , _are_ for the very usefull bot and website (you are a genious ) and Starlock for what we are about to do

oh and... VGN Rules!

[Jay-Em]

I would like to thank all VGN peeps for a great round again.
I was inactive (ended with 8mil points) whole round because of summerjob but still I got deffed and covered always when I asked it. So I am waiting for round 10 as I can play it fully...
I would also like to thank _are_ for doing outstanding job in BD, VD and VGN. There would be no VGN without you and your tech.
Thanks for everything!
I also would like to thank my gal 44:2 in this round.
Thanks for my gal mates [Irvine], Ruub, Tomkat, Xoriah, Silversmoke, |WAR|, Ethanol and Ives +others I don´t remember...

[Hicks]

The Vengeance history page = delusions of grandeur on a huge scale. I remember a few rounds ago when I had Officer access to UV, Starlock and coDO actually talk in private channels about this kind of thing and worse still they do seem to really believe what their saying, like they were the soul opposition to Fury and Legion and we all sat in command channels and worried that UV would hit us. The amount of times I had to bite my tongue over tales of heroic resistance and owning of Fury and Legion was amazing.

Crazy but other than that congratulations on a good round, hopefully you can build on it and have an even better Round 10.

[Lanceman]

Still better than the faction: "Oh no it is the evil Legion you want to counter...they will put me on their blacklist and get our galaxy killed"

[Hicks]

The Legion blacklist is just as made up as tales of UV owning them.

I know, but isn't it better to have illusions that hold you to an aim that was directed at a machinery which wasn't unbeatable if more had joined back then, instead of hiding behind rumours about blacklists or threats of Legion/Fury members?
I wasn't in UV/BD back then, but I prefer that exaggerating attitude to a cowardice one, and fro mthe Tuba/LOST/TFD/GII/??? vs RB conflict I can say it also can be fun to have much bigger enemys (though most of their biggest planets got deleted after they had roided us heh).

There were a few times when we actually DID own a Legion/Fury gal though (more Legion if I remember right).

Of course the retals mostly knocked us flat on our arses (those who were big enough to be retalled at all) but it was fun having Furgion roids, however briefly

[Gayle29uk]

Purely for entertainment purposes, the top of our ****-list for this round were...

46:7 (-34 points)
4:5 (-25 points)
7:5 & 40:5 (-24 points)
18:1 & 19:8 (-20 points)

P5 was a harsh place to be for a VGN member this round

VGN seems to be a great place for the newcomers to PA and it also has very capable players. Defence is second to none, i dont remember Soron ever losing a roid:eek: and im sure it was the same for others too. Congrats to VGN.
