Since Family/Goocci
need the cope so much, let's sit down and get a few details straight:
1. External tools have always existed, and to be frank,
will always exist for any game. Be this a wiki, some kind of character builder, optimised build calculation tools, etc. Even here in TW, scripts could also be considered external tools to help reduce mundane tasks that reduce the fun in the game. When a community is passionate about a game, it's good to see dedication like this. However, for all the tools in the world, they do not
define a win. You could have all the "best" tools in the game and
still suck
Back in the days of Opera T-trains, this was an external tool. But, two major variables also played a role: Your computer's processing speed and your internet connection. Are you now also going to go and blame everything on your ISP because you can't compensate for your lag? Since then, these have been integrated into the game to make it a more level playing field. But overall, the amount of variables in a single world is huge. From player motivation, player availability, smart diplomacy, good teamwork, competent leadership, etc
Once the mundane tasks are taken care of by tools, it leaves the player to do the "high level" stuff, ie, sniping, backtiming, OP planning, timing attacks, tagging effectively, hiding attacks effectively, etc - Which are
primarily skill based. If you can't plan an OP because you're too lazy,
that's your problem.
Your "skill" was having spies/plants spread out across the world, who then sabotaged tribes (RIP Night and co), forcefully "internalled" members, performed countless backstabs and cultivated a 10v1 gangbang...
that you still lost with over a
5 thousand village lead. What we then see is all the trash talking about how bad we were... - Was just projection.
This was the map that was being spammed at us through it all:
2. Software is unfortunately unreliable a lot of the time. Servers go down, there are bugs in the code, there are delays, etc. Even tribe members can be largely unavailable at times. As much as you wish to cry about "brute force hacking to cancel dodges" and "OP timer bot", neither of those things are true. The attack notification sent by TW doesn't show any milliseconds, so even if tribe members
wanted to snipe it and were online at that exact moment, they have to guess which of the 1000ms it lands in. On a world with a 50ms gap, that's still 20 potential gaps you need to hit with enough troops. So say you need to snipe from 2-5 villages to kill a train effectively. Extrapolate that to 10, 20, 50, 100 incoming trains, etc. They still have to take the time to check the map, see if they have any villages in range, calculate possible snipe times, actually
send the snipes, etc.
Ultimately, it just becomes unfeasible to A). Calculate enough snipes per village to cover every possibility and B). Cover every single village fully. All the normal skills of calculating the snipes, actually performing the snipes effectively, using teamwork for multiple players, etc all still apply. And that's not even taking into consideration defending against
anti-snipes, or any of the complexities added there.
To use your example:
Said player still needs to log into the game, sort their incomings, find which incomings are marked, manually tag them (at least 500 trains X 4-5 nobles per train), then prepare to either pre-noble, snipe, stack, re-cap, etc. Again,
not even counting avoiding anti-snipes. Same goes for the tribe mates. Doing this for 10k incomings is an extremely difficult task, it is very time consuming and requires an insane amount of coordination and communication between tribe members. Just because an attack was noted in some discord channel, doesn't mark or affect anything in game. You still have to manually transfer over that information into the game and then make use of it somehow - And when you have multiple trains and thousands of attacks incoming, there is a lot of pressure and not a lot of time. There are
many ways to counter this pretty easily.
Your argument is therefore complete rubbish. You're just lazy, you don't want to put any effort in, you don't want to plan anything, you don't want to time anything. Sending hundreds of nukes at us? A-Okay! Defending against a couple of snobby bois?
cHeAtErS!
HaCkErS!

Meanwhile, your tribe stats suck. Practically none of the goocci nor family members occupy the top ranks of ODS. You guys couldn't even be bothered to help each other with basic support, nevermind anything else. Just a bunch of narcissists with massive egos, who are incapable of anything other than trash talk and backstab diplomacy. You feed a couple of "carry" accounts, who then ended up quitting and being massive disappointments after 2-3 OPs from us.
Congrats on the
BIGGEST L in
likely all of TW history. I have never seen a single group screw up
this badly. Cheers, to your monumental accomplishment
