Hi Shingzu
You along with a few others seem to completely have missed the humor, sarcasm, and self flagellation contained within my post. What I described in my post is pretty much what I did as a leader of Evolution (a mammoth MRA-like alliance itself) on Iota. Furthermore, what I described has been played out time and again on various servers. Grepolis has become a lather-rinse-repeat experience. We did something different this time, and it didn't work out.
I don't know how much more humble I can be. I am literally shining a light on my own hypocrisy giving you guys a hard time for having done, or are likely to do, things I have done in the past myself (which, in case you didn't pick up on this at the time was simply intentional forum banter meant to get you a little riled up, but NONE of it was personally directed at any one individual). You guys beat me, and our alliance. How boring to just come on and say "good job guys". Why not infuse a little humor into it, and laugh at yourself, while admitting that you failed in a quest for a repeat performance of your Evil Overlordship on Belle.
Furthermore, I really don't see how this post is any more offensive than the posts put up by some members of the EN alliance. In a lot of ways...it pales in comparison cos none of this was a personal attack on anyone.
There has been so many remarks that EN hasn't taken citys in a "good" way. They have just done it with force and not with finesse...
For the most part, you didn't do it with finesse. You did do it with brute force. There was definitely some great timing, and well though out strikes, but there was also a lot of "I'm gonna log on and just fire off some attacks". It's called swarming and...guess what...we did it in Evo...and every other alliance I have been in. We even did it here on a few ops. It is very effective cos it wears your opponent out trying to determine which attacks to "worry about" and which you can defeat with a single bireme. Plus...50 worthless attacks add up.
For the record: I wasn't that impressed with Evo's ability to overwhelm the little guy with superior numbers either. It got way boring and lame after a while. But...then...I like a little competition.
