Good job. Was fun fighting you guys. Just wish I'd done more damage before you won the server.
Was most impressed with jake osu. Great snipes bud. Wish it had taken longer till WW so we could have fought longer.
Now let's see who wins the 7/7 competition!
There are a lot of good players in this server, in all alliances. The truth is, we never really had a proper war with Fluff, if you want to call it that. As you and Jake mentioned earlier, a lot of those battles were way out in 65/75. You didn't really go up against the core TOTL fighters. And now you've reached O55 because Fat Ranga brought you up from the rim for his own agenda, not because you fought your way there.
You've taken a number of cities in O55 the past few weeks, but not because you outplayed us. We were just playing two different games. We knew we needed to protect our wonders, so yes, there were going to be empty cities. And you took advantage of that. But those cities weren't important to the endgame, which was to get four wonders, so it didn't deter us. We had a plan from day one, we executed it, and we were successful. It didn't always go as planned, but it worked. Now, on the other hand, I give some credit to LegionC of Bad Wolf, because he didn't need someone handing cities over to him, he just came and took them.
However, it would have been nice to have gone head to head on opposing frontlines and seen how we matched up, like we had the chance to do with Caged, Nordic Warriors, Rise of the Titans, even Crimson and White Horsemen. However, Fluff was in a different part of the world, so that never happened.
As for this 7/7 competition, whatever makes you feel better, go for it. Tell yourself a "real" win is seven. But face facts. Grepo rules say you win when you build and control four wonders. When you do that, you get a 10% increase in max favor, you get the Hall of Fame recognition, and you get the achievement certificate. And you do it when everyone in the world is still competing.
If you get seven, what do you get? Nothing except the crown, and those are a dime a dozen. Don't believe me? Go take a look at World Rho. One winner: Eviction Notice. And eleven, yes eleven, crownie winners. As I said, if you wait around long enough, anyone who wants to can eventually build seven wonders and get a crown.
But that's why they constantly open new worlds. We move on, we start again, and everyone has a new chance at getting the real win, four wonders. And I'd even consider being on your side next time.
