He had no incomings for over a week, therefore he is infact, not a refugee.
If I lead a tribe and I war another tribe, and win, every single member of that tribe I beat is my refugee regardless of who received incomings or not. Take for example if there is three members of the opposing tribe on the frontline and I plan an op that fakes one and targets another but the third guy isnt attacked yet because were just plain waiting for his time to come. If the opposing tribe disbands and the guy that got no incomings yet tries to join another tribe darn right im gonna call him a refugee.
Now im not saying this guy that is the subject of conversation here is right on the frontline or anything (I havent looked at a map) but the point remains that if you are on the losing side you are somewhere on the list of targets its just a matter of time.
My point was that goatrock wasnt a refugee...and you just proved it
Nah, he didn't.
-------------------------------------------------
Now as for my general respone to this thread.
I do think prayers is hinting on a good point but just hasnt hit the right note on the hymn sheet (Like that religious reference.....cause his name is prayers....har har I made a funny).
Now let us cast our minds back for a moment to
this thread made by H0lly. Im fairly sure most people know my view on that thread given I wrote a couple of long ones in there. Im gonna reference back briefly to a few things from that thread.
- You allied Sheeps.
- You cut off the alliance with Sheeps to ally Axte.
- You cut off the alliance with Axte and once again allied with Sheeps.
Now we discussed the reasons for these moves and what reasoning you had behind these moves etc etc in detail in the last thread so I see no need to bring that full debate into this thread aswell, but
my personal overall view on the situation was how you tried to make axte look like they didnt care about alliances when you cared just as little (if not less).
Taking that into consideration I then see this thread (and the 'The end of METAL' thread) and H0lly being an ally has been kind of on the periphery of conversation but not fully being spoken about until the last couple of pages. Its grabbed my attention and I couldnt help but be reminded of how I said quite openly that I dont think alliances mean very much to H0lly at all.
It is claimed by some that you were a poor ally by not jumping in for METAL when they obviously needed it. However you've claimed it was;
"too late"
"you cracked them before Apathy could offer help"
"What the use in declaring if you have nothing prepared?"
Lets just take a look at some dates. This thread was started on February the 15th. The 'End of METAL' thread was started on February 21st. Thats 6 days. However the war started before The 'METAL declares' thread started. Ballistick -
"As most of you know, around 30 hours ago, Axte broke the NAP with METAL" so we'll say for arguments sake, round it to an even week between the start and end of the war, for all intents and purposes.
Lets check out some travel times for Apathy villages to see how long it would take for you guys to stack your frontlines. (I picked the furthest villages from each other)
329|872 -> 478|721
51 hours by Sword. Thats a little over 2 days for swords, from the furthest villages :icon_neutral:
Im not sure how you can claim the above 3 quotes when you could have stacked your frontline easily within 2 days. Does it take you incredibly long to organise stacking? Does it takes you incredibly long to realise your Allies are crumbling in front of your eyes?.....I just cant take any of your above 3 excuses as realistic, I would venture a guess and say that you just care little for alliances. I could be right, could be wrong.
(Lest we forget that you always thought Axte would go for METAL at some point anyway, way before it actually happened)
Now, I just want to pick up on a point from 'The end of METAL' thread here also.
Well we won't let them merge into us. I have given METAL plenty of opportunities to do that and every-time it was put on hold or denied. So we will be taking the normal route of letting them contact us and talking to every member individually to see if they would be adequate members.
Thats a pretty bitter view on the situation in my opinion. Just because they turned down your offer of a merge you then neglect the players who were your allies for a long time the common courtesy of a safe(kinda) place to regroup. Would it possibly be a bad move to just recruit them as if you were merging with METAL....maybe for the moment. However looking at a longer perspective if I was leading a tribe I wouldnt want to ally with a tribe that would leave my guys stranded in the very time when they need most help from their allies. You can say you would have picked up a couple of spies by taking em all in, but i'd bet my solid gold penis that you're gonna get some no matter what method of recruitment you choose, and quite frankly you may have just cause a few spies by the way you treated them.
THEN you take freebie villages, permasits and account(s?) to put your own player on it. Those are some pretty huge double standards, not willing to take the good with the bad of an ally collapsing. Its like they count as allies when it comes to giving you free stuff but when it comes to them needing a new tribe they no longer count as allies and need to take the full route of recruitment. One could say that is decent leading for the moment but I bet 99% of those people have never been diplomatically fucked up the ass because of earlier decisions and attitude.
Okay i'm gonna finish up here by referring to prayers' (what seems to be some sort of punchline?
) and possibly explain it a little bit since you seem to be confused by it H0lly.
Now answer me this Holly. Whats with all the 1lies, 2excuses and 3betrayal?
1. Im not sure about direct lies, im guessing this is just in relation to the dis-truth of your excuses not to have joined the war.
2. "too late"
"you cracked them before Apathy could offer help"
"What the use in declaring if you have nothing prepared?"
The above are excuses. That is also probably generally directed at how you seem to be of the belief you had some good solid reasons not to have joined the war versus Axte, which I'd suggest alot of people dont believe therefore they become what are known as excuses in the eyes of non-believers of said "excuses"
3. I'd guess this is in reference to a general betrayal of METAL by not jumping in, but then having no problem taking their freebies and gifted accounts. Call it a betrayal by principle so to speak.
^ They're just what I read into that line btw but I thought id put em here cause it seems to be H0lly's get out clause to this subject so far to not understand.
