that was not my intention.I haven't seen these posts, what I have seen is posts which seem to show an "our tribe is better then yours" attitude.
i fully agree. frankly, i think a war between KNT and DT just for kicks would be quite fun for both sides for that very reason. but we'll have to wait many months/years to find outI understand what you're saying, but I think it's a misconception. I don't hate players for being on the opposite side; I find it much more enjoyable when I actually get on with my enemies, and we can have a good laugh.
thats actually exactly what ABLOC used to think about BLOC. i think it just comes down to both sides being defensive of comments the other side say, and the foot soldiers talking in these forums alongside the leaders, posting their opinions based on their perspective in a particular trench, as opposed to the perspective of their leaders, who are able to grasp the overall picture formed by the war. essentially, ignorant and arrogant posts made by enemy players are seen by the other side and believed to be the opinion of all enemy players.What I don't like, are opposing players who tend to brag, or put down other tribes. I may not have been the same side as [DT], nor KNT, but at least I respected them. Sadly, it seems to be a one way street; the majority of players seem to be posting along the lines of "ha your tribe sucked", "ours is so great", which detracts from the entire thing, and only makes the opposition lose respect for you. While you may think it's "P&P", when you've already won, then P&P is obsolete (though, in a world with such a rigid diplomacy structure, then it pretty much is anyway). Hence, I try and have a more objective look on things.
ill say this right now - DT has great respect for many of their enemies. ironically, NUKE probably holds more respect than any other for holding strong against a much bigger tribe, but we hold many enemy players from numerous tribes in high esteem. and though i cant speak for them, im sure KNT/C is the same.
its true that world 8 is about 90% dependent on politics and only 10% dependent on a tribe having better players than the enemy tribe. and then when things like the mods are brought into the mix, things get even more unpredictable, chaotic, and random.What people don't seem to realise, is that TW is largely down to circumstance. Think of all the world changing possibility's that might have occured. What if Davoe were never part of BLOC? What if FEAR didn't get banned? What if REL and [DT] allied at the start?
Anything can change the outcome of a world, it's not simply "we played better then you", which again, seems to be the A-bloc attitude. I have no problem extending my hand and saying 'Well played' to any A-bloc tribe. After all, I'm not ashamed to admit KNT/[DT] (and especially FEAR) were good tribes. What I wont do is say "Yes, you're tribe was much better then us" or "we sucked". Like I said, it's largely down to many different circumstances - it could have gone either way at any time. Just because your tribe wins, it doesn't give reason to be derogatory about the losers.
i fully agree, and this also applies to our own tribe members - show the enemy respect if you wish to be respected by not only the enemy, but also your allies.I respect enemies that show respect.
at phaidra: the war only really started when you forced us to pay attention to you (congrats for that), which was about 4 months ago (which was coincidentally when i personally got involved in the war). we then created project mayhem, and vowed to not relieve the pressure on your tribe until we had defeated you purely through our strength in numbers. so yes, essentially we kept hitting while you were down, and we did so again and again and again. whats your point though? its a valid strategy.
and in terms of doing less damage than your bannings, wouldnt you agree that its not a failure of our tribe, but a failure of the mods? project mayhem (in its entirety) is essentially the most successful operation this world has ever seen in terms of village captures, and yet it still pales in comparison to what the mods did to you.
its honestly a pity really.
