The only thing you illustrate is that you never intended to treat the people from spectre with respect. You keep trying to maintain the point that it was.
no I very clearly stated it was a botched merge that never worked out; you guys feel we never respected you; thats your opinion. -|- feels none of you put in the effort, and remained fully loyal to the SPCTR leadership (thus never truly merging); you refused to listen to us even when it was something simple like trying to show you how to play the game.
I remember a post from you telling me to leave if I didn't like it, followed by pizza saying he'd get me kicked from any tribe I joined. I believe it was on the Inquisition thread putting a number of players up for nobling, where i said that this tribe nobles to many inactives anyway.
what does this have to do with anything? yeah, i told you to leave. because all you did was whine and complain; and argue with me on our internal forums.
regarding us nobling too many inactives, i already addressed another person who accused -|- of doing that; and showed, WITH STATS, that there are many tribes in the top 10 who do that way more than us. so drop it
Anyway, thats something else. Time to prove you are wrong. Two weeks ago your real assaults started and we were around 6 mil OD defence, right? We're nearing 20 mil now and that's not counting SPCIHB. With all those troops poured over us you havent made much of an impact considering this:
do you understand how the OD score is calculated for a tribe? it is not like war stats, where they remain permanently attached to the tribe players were in when the conquers occured.
your OD score is a sum of every OD score of every player in your tribe. how many players have left -|- to join SPCTR in the last 2 weeks Art? as soon as they leave -|- and join SPCTR, their OD score gets ADDED to the score for all of SPCTR (and removed from the score for all -|-). so this is your stupidest argument yet; most of the increase in your OD rank is because of the players who left -|- to come to you. and IRONICALLY, some of your od rank now consists of SPCTR kills done by players in -|-, who now have gone over to your side.
Side 1: -|-
Side 2: SPCTR
Timeframe: Last month
Total conquers against opposite side:
Side 1: 152
Side 2: 155
Difference: 3
the only thing these stats show is with 10 tribes attacking -|- on two isolated fronts more than a continent away from their core players, SPCTR have managed to do squat to us in terms of impact.
In short, we're not noobs, you would like us to be but we aren't.
again i'm sick of seeing this argument. -|- aren't good at fighting, because in 4 weeks, we haven't defeated 10 tribes? sorry, but it will take us awhile to do this. its not just me saying it; anyone with a brain realizes the LOGISTICS of this war will be slow. the pressure is not on -|- to win this fast; the pressure is on us to win it. the pressure is on YOU to win fast; because you have the advantage in numbers
You claim to be the oldest and best of all, but you fail break the resistance of the people you claim who "defend and attack as noobs".
well how does one "claim" to be the oldest tribe? it kinda just happens, by virtue of the fact that we started -|- the first day of w9. we are the oldest tribe. stop putting words in -|- mouths though; we do not claim to be the best anywhere. seriously i'm sick of this too; nobody needs to talk about what -|- claims but people IN KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.
Regarding that pm, you might want to look amongst your own ranks. For a while now I've had 4x or 5x rams being sent from k34 going all the way up to my clusters in north k24 and 14. Hmm.
1. you posted the PM; so you brought it up.
2. sending 4-5 fake ram attacks is alot better than sending one ram attack, from the same village, to 20 of my villages 50hrs away. what threat is there from one attack? with 4-5, at least you have to spend the time to time out the attack if you weren't online; and if its fromclose enough, you may not know for sure if they are nobles or rams. so then the player has to decide whether to shift troops around. sending ONE single fake attack at a village will not do anything (if the player is smart); because one attack cannot constitute a threat, even if it is a full nuke
