Yes, MoRC has the Achievement for 4 WW's, but that achievement is ill-conceived. We would have broken your Pyramids island if not for the CS bug that crippled us. ~ Omniverso
Sorry Omni, thats a purely
hypothetical argument that has no effect on the
actual outcome:
1. we dont know what other effects server lag had on that and other sieges. Supports may have been delayed that would have arrived etc. Its impossible to say you would have broken the Pyramid if there had been no lag. Its like a dodgy refereeing decisions in a sports match, you can argue the pro's and con's all day, but ultimately the result stands. Maybe we'd have broken the siege. Maybe MORC would have been angered into pressed you even harder and won the 7 Wonders too !?!? Maybe alliances that arose as a consequence, wouldn't have. Hypothetical arguments just open an infinite series of alternative outcomes that are impossible to untangle.
2. your allies have said themselves they have deliberately USED server lag against us to make it difficult for us to snipe Wonder breaking CS's (yesterdays for example) ... so we know the lag has worked for you as well as against you. Its effectively another randomiser that cuts both ways ... sometimes in your favour, sometimes against you.
3.
even if we had lost the Pyramid, then our full team would then have played on instead of retiring after Victory was achieved, so based on our prior WW lead ... the balance of probability is we would have just won with another Wonder instead.
4. If you've worked in software development you'll know that a load-stress problem like server-lag is unlikely to have only occurred once. Its likely to occur numerous times, and probably averages out who was favoured and who wasnt. People tend to notice the times it works against them !
So ... you have to stick to the facts, and the facts are MORC completed 4 Wonders first, and that was the requirement for Athens victory.
Basically the bottom line is defined by Grepolis: each world has one Winner, and in Athens ... MORC was it.
Once that was achieved players leave, the competition is no longer the same, so its impossible to claim a subsequent victory over-rides the first. Otherwise every sporting fixture ever played would be plagued by the losing side sneakily trying to play-on after the final whistle and scoring goals much to the disgust of the winners who are halfway off the pitch heading for the dressing room !
