To keep everyone from getting too pessimistic, what is the single best achievement of your alliance? I guess I'd prefer not to hear, "dominating every round" or something like that. If you're in Fury, or Legion, or one of the alliances that has been highly successful, round after round, what ONE accomplishment would you rank as the best?

For me, TE's greatest accomplishment was the successful attack on Thieves and Pirates, in round 3. Taking Singu's galaxy down a notch early in the round was pretty cool, though it had little effect, ultimately

Nemesis I felt was its own existence and survival, but following my own rules, I would have to say that our best accomplishment took place prior to our official existence, with the massive attack on Yeh at the end of r5. It was a huge amount of organization, and it culminated in a night of fun for all people involved, including, I think, Sid and Yeh.

Legion - Alliance with the greatest survival rate against all odds, external and internal.

WolfPack - The only alliance with talented egos forged into possibly the most successful single-round power ever.

IRG & TLA - Me.

For me, our best accomplishment was the hit on Lrytas' galaxy in r6. When various FoS bc's learned of it, they asked us to wait for the end of the 72 hour transition period so we could all put a lot of pressure on Xeta together. We declined though as it was specifically a Nemesis retal and not an act of war against Xeta. So despite the size of the galaxy, and the knowledge that Xeta would largely be without incomings that night, Nemesis was willing to take the hard route as opposed to waiting a couple of days for assistance from a powerblock.

That was definitely a great one too

I had sort of forgotten about it, like so many things.

Fury's comeback after getting slammed for 3 months in round four would be my biggest.

Either that, or the way in which Fury went from 'medium' alliance status to major alliance with the wars against TE, Tuba and Conc in round 2.

Aaranaf · 5 Nov 2002, 03:37

in round 5 when big ol legion started thumpin down on ViruS and we managed... and managed very well. even gave em a bit of our own in the end. showed em that virus wasnt some pipsqueak and that we deserved to be among the elite

Round two. It was an accomplishment in itself.

Fred of Bedrock · 5 Nov 2002, 04:19

The single greatest accomplishment of Legion was recruiting the HC people and techies they did round2. Legion would not have been as great as it was without their input and teachings in round2.... yes all the previous HC without exeption (you know who I mean

)

Scorpio · 5 Nov 2002, 04:36

r4: Rise to the top with Xanadu. Practically coming out of nowhere, winning the round and dictating it military wise, illustrated by the wave-attack on T&P and the surrender of a Fury exec/officer gal in p16 i believe.

So true thats where we learned how to do things was from them. We definatly had good parents in r2 guiding our way.

Wrong... Fury is the one that dumps you (again) that time. Legion have all the right and priviledge to attack you since you have no agreement with them. But someone should have protected you.

To answer the original question... ending round 6 without Legion, Fury or Xanadu winning, despite everyone believing that only those alliances could possibly win

well, it was Legion more or less focusing on us (sure, no prob with it, being neutral at the time and all), and Fury(our "ally") sitting around and letting them do so. i was only an officer during that time though, but i still remember being fairly mad at Fury for it

That's the attack which led me, and alot of other Fury, to respect hirr as a great alliance during round three. Of course, that didn't stop us from countering you into the ground for the next few days, with several waves on every planet, but still, respect to you guys.

I think you're the only alliance which really hurt a Fury planet in R3 after the onset of the Triad. Discounting the two week 'war' with Legion.

Norseman · 5 Nov 2002, 11:54

not really an achievement, but still..
that we so easily ignored the ever going dirt contest against elysium as an elite alliance, and despite the fact that we never really was accepted.. public wise, our selfconfident always was intact

Patrician · 5 Nov 2002, 12:32

The entire process of rebuilding Tuba round 3, and against all the odds succeeding.

Regardless of whatever troubles we may have run into later on, my thanks and respect go to DJ, McIvan, Titch, Lokken, Neuroz, LevelZero, inky, Stevie, TwiZter, Locutus, Hellian (And later: QD, Mis, bigchief, RR - and everyone who stayed with the alliance) - And many more (of whom the mists of time have robbed my memory :/)

It was a blast :) (Even the weeks of sheer stressful hell)

I remember it well :) I still regret not having any ships free to join the party.

To me, this is the greatest single action of any alliance since round one. The fact that while the rest of the universe cowered under Fury/VtS domination - hirr didn't take any jipp :) (And of course it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy)

Kjeldoran · 5 Nov 2002, 12:39

FAnG, growing to a dominant force, as Rumad allready posted, in less then 2 rounds. None of us Hc's had ever hoped we'd reach this far, now I'm not surprised we did thx to the commitment of our members, officers and fellow HC

thanks

Anyway, the achievement of r6 was really something.

I think you were wrong on two points.

Firstly the historical question - should Fury have prevented Legion from attacking Virus? I don't see any reason why they should. Fury's first and only concern is their own well-being, so why should they have helped Virus against Legion? No part of the agreements between the alliances stated that Legion could not attack Virus, and the terms of the Legion-Fury NAP prevented Fury from defending against Legion.

At the time, I'm sure I thought much as you do now - that Fury were evil and that their politics were wrong. Now, I would be much more inclined to blame Virus for their naiveté in believing that their alliance with Fury would keep Legion from attacking them, or their foolishness in believing that they could fight Legion alone

. Small alliances who ally with larger ones for protection and then get screwed over have only themselves to blame.

As for the second point, I was merely commenting on the fact that Virus execs should know their past history better than you (or, for that matter, I) would. You were telling him that he was wrong about the history of his own alliance and tried to bring Fury into the argument, when his original post never even mentioned Fury

and refusing to allow Kurashima to join deserves a special mention

1) When Legion didnt die in the end of r3.
2) r4, my gal survived 8 waves or something, hardly without loosing more than 300 roids. Also the TZ attack againt GP4 was splendid to watch.
3) When Legion tagged in r5... /made me slip a tear

Elu Thingol · 5 Nov 2002, 16:06

r3) we hit salem and droped him 100 M between a few players
r4) mangor, who don´t remember that?

I think that attack forged a great respect between hirr and Fury that has grown ever since. Even though Fury retalled, we got messages from our attackers who outnumbered us in strength by sometimes 30:1 that they didn't want to attack us, and that we actually did them a favour by cnutting alex.

Our attacks against other Fury planets were not as successful, but if you remember we kept on trying until Sid initiated a fleet freeze with the hopes of catching each one of our fleets as we pressed our attacks home... because we could afford to lose the minimal roids you were capping, but not our fleets, we had to go underground for awhile, but it effectively stopped the hirr offensive and was great thinking on Sid's part.

I think that lead to hirr / Fury cooperation in round 4.

To me the greatest moment of Elysium was about the time in early-mid round 6 and probably why quit hc during (to me) that greatest moment. It was great that xeta (Elysium being the major player of that block with Xan) was being the major force IMO beating fltv. It was nice to see past warnings, plans and promises becoming a reality.

I'm the sort where rankings mean piss all to me honestly. When a group of less than 30-40 players are able to give the final push into wide-spread powerblocking, that says a lot more than "we finished with the #1 player."
