everyone in RONIN love's classic. (hug)
Ali, I'm amazed Infect still allows you out in public. Either you're too wriggly for them to bind or they have even less sense than I've already credited them.
The list of Things That Are Smart Moves For Infect And Dumb For Ronin appears to be growing.
Internalling Accounts
Infect has become the Internal King, which is fine for rapid growth (Tahawli's leap comes to mind), but internalling in Ronin is for chumps.
Mergers
To be fair, Infect hasn't had a lot of mergers as of late. Back when they were first getting started, their official policy for new recruits was to be merged into a pre-existing account. It was good enough then, but these days merging is a sign of...I'm not sure. Of course, Ali is no hypocrite. It's not as if he rushed to merge the Annant account into his own in order to gain a coplayer.
Attacking Inactives
If Infect hits a soft account, they proudly pat themselves on the back and break out the cigars. Watch Ronin do it and make haughty noises about how Ronin -only- goes after dead accounts (you know, like Hazzard, Lordward, Lifford, Tahawli, Pako...).
Losing Villages
Oh yes, losing villages is a winning strategy of theirs. When Ronin loses a village, Infect is ten days closer to having a world win. When Infect loses a village it is, as their duke put it, part of The Plan. Infect only gives up villages that don't matter to The Plan.
Kicking Players
I can say with great authority that if Ronin kicked the Wildling account, Infect would jeer and crow and make noises about their moral superiority. Even though, to anyone with a shred of sense, the account would be better off having been dropped weeks ago.
However, when Infect kicks an account it's a strategic move. While it is when it comes to war caps, it doesn't matter otherwise. If the account has deleted it would have barbed in a few days, anyway. It was done for no other reason than to save stats. This idea that they would have done the same with other internals is laughable. I can guarantee you that if any of those internals had been more frontline, or were suffering heavy losses, Infect would have dropped them so quickly you would have wondered if the player had ever been in the tribe at all.
PS: Bona may have walked away from Infect on good terms, but he was heartbroken that he had poured all of his energy into the game only to have his duke call him an idiot behind is back while doing favors for an enemy account.
Drama!
I love this one so much. Infect had the Soulmage account spy and turn in an effort to break our spirit and break the south. The account also stole church information from a sit and that church list made it onto the Infect forum with a pretty little message of "Don't ask how I got it" from Liric. Infect spent an incredible amount of time trying to get our players to swap sides and leave Ronin.
Including the Classicaus account. Repeatedly.
They then wanted one of our trouble makers to spy for them and pull in a bunch of other accounts so they could win the war via recruitment instead of troops. And one of the trouble makers they wanted was Classicaus. (I feel this repeated emphasis is important to lead into the next point.)
However, when Ronin pulls an innocent little stunt or two, they demand to know why we have to cause drama. Because they never would.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Infect.
Classicaus has been taking a lot of grief over his OD. It's low, we get it. We can math. What I find most telling is that he's doing better in this war than DutchWarrior, who has quite a bit more experience and seems a little less interested in accounts that have a pulse. Mocking one of my scrubs, who has done an amazing job defending against Infect regardless of his past experience is amusing when Infect's largest account only goes after accounts that are dead or dying.
Infect is quite possibly the worst tribe I've dealt with in a long time in regards to putting a favorable spin on their behavior.
They also don't have the sense God gave a lemon if they think that we'll be cutting Classicaus loose. I think Ali forgets that while walls may crumble, they may also be rebuilt. While troops may die, they can be remade.
Classicaus has been one of ours for a long time. He'll be here to enjoy the world win with the rest of us.
Also, Ali, on the note of trimming the fat, I'm noticing quite a bit more needing a trimming in Infect. Ronin doesn't trim: we'll take care of all of our players as best we can. It's Tribal Wars, dear. We plan on getting to the end as a tribe. If that means getting someone a safe backline to hide out for a while until their schedule frees up, so be it. We can always regrow an account. Accounts that need to be eaten will be, but anyone who wants to go to the end with us will be doing so.
Hardly something you can say about your sketchy lot.
you get it, you can math? You obviously don't do English. DW is the reason the Wildling account is as good as gone, sure, i did a lot to begin with, but he did most of the damaging hits, and well done to him for that. You don't seem very hasty to say well done to us, as i have acknowledged some of your successes in the past. DW is actually doing some work on you guys now, some 86 caps. Granted, it isnt as many as an account his size should have, but he has done well for starting as late as he did.
I look forward to congratulating you guys on the world win if that is the case Jen, but i can't help but disagree.
Ali
If you are referring to toll, i have no idea what his plan was, and i don't see how losing villages is part of any plan. The only instance i can see where this would make sense, is if an area is completely hopeless, we give it away, much like Nme did recently, no?
The one player we kicked, granted, we shouldn't have kicked him, but we did, has caused all this uproar. Who else have we kicked to save stats? Lifford did have a decent frontline, and we didnt kick him, so yet again Jen, sadly, you are wrong.
I have never once said that we are angels, hell, i have said that you have taken the moral high ground on a few occasions, but that does not change the fact, that we are still winning this war, without recruiting any of your members.

that is cause we havent kicked an account which is losing vills in a big way
yawn..lord dominion comes to mind,gets opped,gets banned. Soul magey joins dsy4 :icon_biggrin:.enough said
and reggae shark how dare you post here ,you have supposedly went awol after the first wave of incomings at you.
and Ali, ronins are simply the best there was and the best there will be. Dont argue with them.:icon_razz:
Fair enough, well done, you have overtaken us in the overall stats, but as the pure 1-1 stats, we are still leading.
I have been away for 3 days on a biking holiday, so am out of the game slightly, and about to get my head back in, but this is interesting to see how much Ronin have slowed down (yes, still faster atm than Infect).
Ali
Yeah, stats tend to slow when you kick who they eat.
Who? Nap? He didn't start bleeding till AFTER we kicked.
