No i will admit, they are thoroughly taking my cities. Yes they are beating. Mabye i am not as good as them. Not all people can be great or even good. And if i am not good im sorry i dont fit your standards Z. And yes they are beating me or taking my cities and what not... doesnt matter. Yes im trying to stop them but i simply cant do it on my own.
My fault on that, I should've looked at a map before judging you as a bad player. For some reason I assumed you had allies with you who could support you. That's what I get for writing a rant while sleepy I suppose. But as I said, I still believe you'll have difficulty being a force in Theta, and won't be able to lead a successful alliance, which, fyi, can get pretty stressful sometimes from what I heard if you don't have a well-liked team.
Sorry i dont meet your standards of expecting everyone to be great players as i guess you are. Even though i have never seen you play.
I'm not that great a player. I can snipe pretty well, and my timing's fairly decent, but besides that I'm useless. I forget to be online to time certain, possibly crucial, attacks too often. I lack the fire to go out and attack and get new cities, especially nowadays. I can't build my city at the start successfully enough to be a force in this game. If I'm not lucky, I'd probably get rimmed early on, because I'm too stubborn, and sometimes think I'm better than I am and refuse to ask for support from my alliance.
Z grade yes people will do the opposite of there personalities on a game, or in times of war. Have you ever met a real war veterin how some come back different and take a while to go back to normal. Want to know why war changes people and this is a war game. Connect the dots im not a bad person or a terrible player. Who are you to judge me
You missed the second part, this is a war
game. In real war, I have heard of people changing greatly, but you forget, this is a
game. Since we're anonymous, we can be whoever we want to be, but traces of our personality will linger in what we say and do, if slightly. You can make a 150, maybe even a 170, but not a 180, not without outside influence, such as an actual war.
Come on really? you are so far out of touch with this game I am shocked! Points, You are guaging on points? Who cares about points? Check back in a few weeks if that is all you care about. I am sure he will be fine. Really you guys continue to baffle me with your over developed sense of righteousness. Of course you can "180" your personality here, where else would you want to do that? Really you should see the emails I have received concerning hellion, They are quite amusing and sad at the same time. Apparently no one on in the axis(coalition) understands what "war game" means. Rimming? Winning? I do not think so, If that is true they would not be threatening me to remove my support. And I was in Vm the last two weeks to boot. At the end of the day David Stood up against goliath and you guys are bitter for being Philistine.
First, let me correct a misconception. I was not looking at points, I was looking at conquers against, the graph was merely because I like visual aids, and Grepostats isn't like TWstats, where you can bring up multiple different graphs, including city count. I wonder if GrepoIntel has that.
Anyways, as I said earlier in this post, it's impossible to 180 your personality without outside influence. There will always be a few traces of you. You can be meaner here, you can be nicer, you can cooler, you can be stupider, but you can't be the opposite of who you are. I dunno who you are, but it seems you like to skim posts, and not read and reread so you don't screw up like I do far too often, as you missed the part where I applaud, if reluctantly, Hellion's action, even if I may have read it wrong, though no one has denied my reading, and then you call me bitter about him standing up to Cohort, if for, in my opinion, poor reasons, which cannot be proven poor or good.
As for "winning", that seems to be a view we will differ on. You can play for several reasons, you can play to win, you can play to have fun, or you can play to win while having fun. The best players, in my opinion, are the ones who play to win while enjoying themselves and taking things easy. The best personalities, usually, are the ones who play only to enjoy themselves. The most determined are the ones who play to win, and if you take their cities you can sometimes get funny messages. This is a game, no? Show me one game where the objective is
not to win in some form. Many get their enjoyment only out of winning a game, even though you should get it from playing the game. The point of Grepolis is indeed to win, even if winning in the sense of defeating all your enemies is impossible, as at this point in the game it is impossible to rim a player with an alliance who does not want to be rimmed. For that reason, players attack other players, form alliances, conquer cities, and early on rim players, many of whom quit, but others continue in the hope of at least winning their ocean, and maybe even becoming strong enough to at least be a force in the world. You may say you don't want to win, yet you're a huge player, in fact, you're number 10 in Theta.
Here is the funny thing about this Z... I was TRYING to not let them take them for bp's and VP's but i understood that yes i would lose all of my "current cities' Reason being i was based in the north my team is based in the south so how do i fight a whole 3 alliances by myself. Explain that to me if your so great at the game. you wouldnt be able to either. Anyways i was not "letting" them take my cities but i was fine with using them because i still have the slots. Z this game aint about cities or points bud its about slots and bp. Get your Grepolis compass fixed. Any cities i use are just new cities that i can have in the south to be with my team...
This reminds me of a player I knew, archerX. Back when TWA still existed, we fought against Phalanx of Atlas Dragons (I think it was them anyhow), and archerX lost most of his cities. But he was determined, and he rebuilt his empire bit by bit with the help of the alliance, and soon enough he was back and kicking, with new slots from defending his lost cities. He's gone now, or in a different account, I'm not really sure.
And it is fully and utterly possible to fight against 5 alliances, possibly more, without losing a city, doubly so if this was a conquest world, but the sheer skill and activity needed make it an endeavor not worth it for nearly all, if without a coplayer, which is illegal in Grepolis.
While you won't reach the Grepo Hall of Fame anytime soon, I can't really call you a bad player, especially with my limited knowledge of your skill and style, but I can't call you a good player either. I can, however, call you a smart player for attempting to do as archerX did, but if you lose that city you call Untouchable in o43 before you get another city further southeast and out of range of Cohort and TBE, you're in trouble, and actually at risk of being rimmed, and you won't be able to pull of what archerX did, as he was well protected and helped by his alliance until he reached fighting strength. Once you're rimmed, you lose your slots, if you can even restart. And believe me, Cohort are determined, I wouldn't put it past them to take the >1000 point cities as well.
