Clan GDI needs to not be a thing, there needs to be that suspense and building your country strategically.

So much for objective discussion, you guys already did this in another thread, go back to that one if you want to flame each other..

I'm an old un4 guy turned Evo, so...thanks for the assumption? I've also not been involved in any whining about ruined sets, I just responded to war with prepping the alliance for war. Again, this is meant for objective discussion. I'm sure there are plenty of other valid reasons why clan GDI takes away from the game, let's have a genuine discussion about this year?

I'm just coming back after 6-7 years, some outside Evo may or may not remember me. To keep things objective, I wanted to open a new thread where maybe we could avoid inflammatory comments. Let's see how it goes.

For starters, I'm grateful that the first set I come back it's really peaceful, helps me to remember all the things. That's going to get reeeaal boring soon with Clan GDI. Lots of people have commented about the main theme of the game that's right on the home page, and they're absolutely right. This game has of course involved netting, but wayyy too much much more.

It's always been contentious, in so many ways. Diplomacy, putting out fires when mistakes were made, suicides, pacts, war plans, calculations, priority targets, attack timing, participation, and yes netting. You would try to net, sure, but you made sure you were ready for anything.

Your alliances pacted out and if they couldn't, they would watch the non-pacted alliances and their government types, spy ops, and trends...things were always tense, and there was EXCITEMENT in that. There was bonding that developed within and among alliances because we needed to be more involved and ensure that we were ready to net and win or war and win.

When war was imminent and diplomacy failed, we get together and got ops, calculated target priority and how many hits an FS could do and therefore how many countries could be taken out, and same with the opposing side. It was an exhilarating time, and made you want to be a part of the action...to want to have your country survive, rack up the most kills, help the restarts, help your allies.

In peacetime, you had spy heavy countries, retal countries, land trades with other alliances, competition to see who could get the most land the earliest before all the DR settled in. Now it just seems to be hit the most bots and get the most land, and we'll see at the end.

I've bought turrets this round because all my previous years have programmed me to, but seeing others with just all jets definitely signaled a change in what I was used to, and these folks are right. In my view, it takes away at least 75% of the original meaning of the game. Why bother with FA departments, spy tech, warfare tech, GS, BR, AB, and so many things I'm missing?

Evo's motto was always "Get fat and win", but we were still cognizant that the game was much more than that, not that alone.

If there's more to be discussed, let's do it here objectively...and QZ, I'd love your take on these considerations.

Heya folks, anyone teching and need an ally? I have none so far..

What is this again?

Hooray for thinking the set ends a day after it did :P

Confirm

pigs in a blanket

happy halloween all :)

it says "create post"

#10 is Gibbys!!

Just read the 1st page of posts, but I'd rather not have many changes. The best part of this game still being around is arguably the nostalgia of it. This isn't the most amazingest game out there, and everyone knows it. I don't think the goal of Pang and QZ is that anyway. I assume that it's to keep alive one of the first games a lot of us ever played and enjoy interacting with the friends we made back then. It's probably hard to keep in touch with a global community to begin with, don't you think?

and instagram, you can catch screenshots of clicking the "attack again" button..

Wow, the douche factor of this guy..NA/Evo/LCN joint kill run?

I'd appreciate it if you guys would wait on farming the fluff out of him after I've been able to retal. Thanks for your consideration!

#18! ...not the greatest, but just comin back. I'll be t10 next set :D

little unsettling..

I don't know enough to comment, so...

The bots have been great for allowing people who want to grab to actually do so with relative safety, and not piss off other alliances. It's sorta introduced some competition with who can find the bots first and get the best returns :P

I'ma just hope for 300M :P

500m? What the hell are people smokin these days?? Gonna come back to try this set, but not really sure about THAT much :P Grats you guys!

Every sport involves strategy/brains/etc, the only difference is that you've got a mouse and keyboard instead of a ball...I'm good with it. Regardless if it's considered dorkier than what's currently seen as an actual sport, there are tons of similarities

Grats, my friends! Maybe I'll see you in t10 this set...all depends on a couple things...........

Aaaaaand....now it's a tag kill.

Feel free to let us know that you surrender, little pebbles..

*commences farming season*

Wonder if they're going to surrender any time soon...

archaic, I love it :P the warstats are funny too, a steady line going up for us, and a steady line going down for the little pebbles...

We're getting killed here guys, let's get TANKS!!

Confirmed..

guess that guy was as soft as we thought...figure may as well kill off their highest active player to make it a bit funny :P

Why bother? It means nothing to us...we're already proven as a netting and a warring tag, so it's not like it hurts us to get FSed by a tag that means nothing and can only win when the other side isn't prepared in the least. To bstrong's point, why wouldn't they have challenged one of the tags who're already warring? Why not prove their mettle against someone who's going to be warring? Afraid that they'd lose since they actually do suck?

Look at their FS...they're scared of losing missiles so that's the first thing they dump? If they thought about it, there's no way that a netting tag would be able to remove all their missiles, so you go according to plan: GS/BR, then missile for readiness. And the top-down approach? More net =/= better retaliation capability, they should have done their research and gone after the biggest threats first. They killed Yank...he goes all-x EVERY set. Why waste your FIRST STRIKE on an all-x country?

All that being said, they've proven by themselves that they're not to be taken seriously. We'll go about our merry way the rest of the set, some might participate in the "war" and hit back, but Thanksgiving's coming up soon and people have real lives to handle, so it's really no sweat off any Evo member's back. We'll come back next set and of course put up a great finish.

Nice try, Stones?

It's more like maybe a mosquito bite? Itches a bit, but we're cool :)

Nah, we'd have to try and fail to be weaklings. And we only try when it matters...what'd be the point of coming back and winning? We have nothing we need to prove to anyone here, especially not through a war with a spam tag

BUUUURRRRRRRN!!!111111!!!!

Have fun with that, kiddo :)

I don't think he was looking for praise for being the best at anything, just wanting to help you look less retarded next time..

"NOT"? really..? How old are you again? And that "go suck an egg"...wow, so, uh...offensive?

Is that supposed to impress anyone? We knew it was coming, and what'd we do? Yeah, nothing..that's about howw serious the whole server takes you kids. Go ahead and let me know what exactly it is you're trying to prove?

When did I say that we didn't do any spying? You're looking stupid trying to claim you're attacking us based off of sabotaged missiles, even in the first post here..everyone knows you're the ones who've started the whole thing, and to try to act like you didn't is just plain dishonorable. I thought your recruitment thread discussed HONOR as one of your core values?

If you try to shove your own policies onto every major clan in the server, you're gonna get farmed. And if you think you aren't trying to do that, go ahead and do the same thing to LaF, MD, SoL, or SoF next set. Just because we're a smaller clan doesn't mean we lack any of the same characteristics and values that every large clan holds. You'll probably just get away with it this time because you decided to pick a fight with someone who wasn't looking for one.

The retal policy that we hold is the same one that most players on the server hold, so yes, you are trying to push your policies onto others in effect by doing it to us.

I'm not sure exactly how old you are, but if you started set one with this game, you must never have matured...that grammar, holy smokes!

Personally, I don't wear diapers anymore, so you're right, I wouldn't be able to change mine next to you when you're changing yours...sorry, though. I could change my son's or daughter's next to you if you need some company?

Hahahaha...um, yeah, good job using them as your first almost 100 attacks...how many do you think we can take out?

Oooh, sure...cause that's what really caused you guys all to flock online all at once and retaliate from the diffuses.

ddd, it'd be best if you don't even bother trying. You're a bunch of kids who have no clue about anything and trying to enforce some idiotic policies onto a server.

Enjoy being farmland for the server next set ;)

*picks up the Batphone and calls in SoF*

Does that work?

Sure, come join in the fun! Wait...you're not gonna hit Evo too, right? ;)
