@Simple977. I agree with you on this.
And you can still be friends on opposite sides of a war. I have had friendly chats and got on well with some of the players in HEROES, despite the fact that I have been rather bitter about them as an alliance, at times, due to the behaviour of their old diplomat.
This war is definitely breathing new life into the server. 100% agree on that, and it was the kickstart needed to keep players' interest in this server.
True. I wouldn't call you all golders, nor was that my intention in my previous post. I would however say that it is fair to assume that Thermopylae has a higher proportion of moderate-to-heavy gold users than alliances such as Atlantis Mallorean. Nor would I say that your leadership had no factor in the success of Thermopylae. But I am saying that Futbol is perhaps exaggerating the superiority of his leadership a little too much. It might not be easy to do well, but it is pretty hard to screw up an alliance with a lot of veterans and at least a few decent gold-users.
Don't think I ever called you an MRA? I think I just said that you cherry-picked from Mayhem/IA. That's basically the opposite of being an MRA.
My issue with the stuff being said on here is with Futbol's attitude. Saying that players are irrelevant if they aren't in the top 3-5 alliances or have a tonne of big cities, when that's just not true. Comments like that imply a lack of understanding as to how the game works, and in this case, a lack of awareness as to the events of this server.
