Does it really take strategy for an entire alliance to take out 2 players?
Depends on the size of the players as you'd expect it for players like mizraith,raighted and the likes

@ tommy
War ended about 5 min in.
I took a city of Pharmerjohn, they asked for a cease fire while we negotiate til Saturday.
On Friday he activates Vacation Mode, Incognito launch ships. We declared war on Saturday, I took a city of Roune and we all farmed Dayles a bit.
Roune pretty much quit straight away, hinting he will restart further south. Dayles sent a message asking if he could join, then never logged back in.
Currently the only person fighting is Gunboat Diplomat. Draculasheir is just turtling and has never been a threat to KB.
untill i got bored because you dont seem to fight in any real wars and left,
1. Very long travel distance
2. I was working 80 hours a week...
3. If i recall the fight against warpath wasnt much of a fight more of a slaughter... Im talking about a real fight against and alliance of similar or greater power, I want a challenge not a massacre
First rule of negotiation is each alliance has to offer something which is valuable to other. The way i see is you are not offering anything of value to us.
Your demand: Leave PharmerJohn alone and have NAP with you
Our Demand: PharmerJohn is going down, and if you do not support him we will leave you alone but can not guarantee any NAP.
Now did you notice the difference. Unless we are getting anything we want, this negotiation can not give any result.
1) 4-5 hr travel time and 15 hr CS travel time is not long. If you can not do that much, you are no good.
2) If you were working 80 hr a week then what happened now.
3) It was not a slaughter. War Path gave us a fight. Before war, we had 435 cities and they had 335 cities, we were 4.2 million pts and they were 2.9 million pts. I am not saying they are of same size, but they were comparable and in no way very small compare to us. Although, they went defensive after our first assault, but war does not means that to defend only . War also include attack and conquer cities from some very active and good players. Strategy very much come in play in those situation. That was a challenge but it seems you are not up to its standard.
Thank you Yogesh, yes I remember those messages, but it was over our skype chat I asked you to consider Pharmie, which you warned was unlikely but that you would put it to the council.
Look mate, I am over the back and forth, I put the PnP up to beat you, we all knew it would be far from epic - heck INCOG had like 5 decent players in the area and a few friends. We knew if you or Suture got involved the stakes would change - and they did. You two alone are bigger than most alliances outside the top 28 - so a few guys in ocean 73 with a few friends against 2 of the games top players and a load more from your alliance wouldn't last too long. Those kinds of odds will take down any player - we all know that.
I wish KBs well, just read back over the months, you will see I have only ever spoken highly of your alliance. We knew the situation 73 was in, we tried to avoid it, but as the saying goes S**T happens, the boys in that ocean knew the score, and made the decisions which resulted in this.
All alliances will have their pathetic members, most probably even KBs so whilst I appreciate the prod, you would have had to have been on the receiving end of some of our earlier work to have known what the former CORE of INCOGNITO and the Order of the Nine were all about. When the game was smaller taking down an alliance then was easier and did more for your growth. We certainly had some fun early on taking down alliances much bigger than ourselves in our oceans, and thus grew quickly from it. But as the game wears on, players depart, you run out of targets and inactives need chewing down with a glass of red. So the game changes, and alliances are forced upon each other, whether we like or not.
So if the EPIC battle is over, we can close this thread, and perhaps Suture can get some fresh air
I wonder who needs to go out and see the real world.
