"thats ok, just wanted to say good things about him, someone is getting a good player. "

Actually the likely scenario is that a good player is leaving the game, but whatever.

Ok, you're retarded:
- you obviously don't understand the point I'm making with LCN
- you obviously don't understand that if SOL said "iMag FAed LaF" and FSed you, the reason would be crap - much in the same way your reason for hitting Fist originally was
- you obviously don't understand that your leaders threatened LCN and Fist on the boards and denied us a pact

So yeah, I'm done with you as well. You started our borderline reasonable but turned to retard-iMagger pretty fast.

"Anyhow, fact is TIE received a considerable amount of FA and you were caught doing it. I think its safe to assume you did most of it."

I keep saying this - we had ONE country FAing. You have NEVER shown proof to the contrary.

"We dont need an excuse. As far as I`m concerned the war with Fist didnt end two sets ago."
What about LCN? Or are you too chickenfluff to hit a bigger alliance?

"We had no reason to give a uNAP. You threatened us as well, so this is moot."
We might have been insulting you, but threatening... unlikely (just do the numbers - same reason you're scared of LCN...). Find me a quote.

ibujke: Do you think the war with LCN against you had something to do with Soviet threatening us on AT and iMag denying us a uNAP? Obviously there was some element of retaliation involved, both LCN and Fist were pissed off at iMag, but fact is we were told that you guys were going to hit us again AND we had a uNAP refused...

So there goes your excuse for this set ;)

And we still think the original "reason" was crap because we had no FA contact from you guys and we still insist it was one country sending FA.

I dont know what topfeeds they are talking aboutm I though for sure we worked everything out through FA nicely, Rage doesnt have an impossible retal policy like some. If we hit you retal it or vice versa...seems logical to me
The RAGE stuff was last set, we did have a good thing with you guys this set. At the same time, the headaches we had over you and PDM last set were a bit too much ;) But it all builds up, we start hating the server mroe and more everytime a clan does an RoR and has some FA not do anything about it...

But as Spawn said, you, PDM and LaF were pretty minor factors in the end. LaF was a factor this set but not previously, you guys last set but not this set. Mostly iMag.

so once again it's back to the "we FSed big clans in 2005" that Tavi was using in another thread

since your random FS on LaF, you've only chosen wars that were easy (note the chosen there because LCN was the one who FSed you :P)

and now you've helped a bunch of players in Fist and ICN make up their minds about leaving the game.

good job, Soviet, keep it up :)

I'm looking around. All I see are a couple whiney baby Fisters, agitated ICNers, NA trolls, and Pang and Slag. You are putting too much credit on these few people for the "real" feelings of the server.

No one said you started the conflict. iMag did when we FSed you way back when. You simply didn't man up and take the beating and gain anyone's respect. You got LCN to smash us that set. The set after you went into LCNs tag and farmed us for the whole set. The set after we tried to pact, but your terms were fluffing retarded and we wouldn't agree to them.

Can you not see why we are here at this point in time, smashing the fluff out of you while you walk away from the game?

On the topic of retal policy- iMag's policy is standard 1:1. You didn't happen to notice any of us taking L:L this set have you?

Oh, so you're hitting us NOW because we didn't pact you last set?
Or maybe you're hitting us now because you pissed off LCN and they hit you the next set after you refused a pact?
Basically, you don't have a reason and you're destroying this server and it's obvious to most people here that you're doing that.
I bet your reason for hitting ICN is just as good...

PS: about L:L, once again proves you make up policies to start fights. remember that DH earlier that set? it was on 1 grab. You took a second after your DH and said "land:land"


@Pain: I think the only people here that think iMag was justified in its actions this set are iMag and Ivan.

Ok, so you've made up some crap reasons no one believes for why you drove Fist from the game, now what about ICN?

Soviet: Take a look around you. Everyone except for SoF seems to think your actions are stupid, petty and detrimental to the game.

Now you're trying to make it seem like we started this conflict with you and it wasn't just a case of you being bored and starting a conflict by coming up with an excuse, which is easy for you because you don't have retal policies like real clans.

Yeah, well done Ely, you suck at netting so you FS the smallest clan you can find. It's like... you tried grabbing us, failed and came out behind so now you FS us because a week ago we had twice your avg. land.

We're probably not going to fight back and we're leaving the server next set anyway. So umm.. good job.

Steps to mediocrity:
1) Start grabbing Fist
2) Get grabbed back, generally fail to retal
3) Realize you're a fluff clan that was until half of Fist in avg. land terms and FS Fist

Well done guys.

I hate to resurrect this thread but...


Fooglmog: Are you sure iMag is actually using the right formulas for attacking? I'm curious because you seem to fail a much larger percentage of your grabs/retals than most clans.

2010-10-28 20:54:52 PS Zarcon Made Me (#551) bc iMagNum Fist of Terror (#70) bc TheFist DH
2010-10-28 17:57:46 PS Soviet Union (#119) bc iMagNum 1Odin2RuleValhalla3 (#162) bc TheFist DH
2010-10-27 02:37:36 PS Zarcon Made Me (#551) bc iMagNum 11th Field Artillery Battalion (#310) bc xNAx DH

those three are after the failed retal that this dispute started over (so 25/10)

Fooglmog: Allowing DHs to not count towards a retal quota effectively allows you to lemming down big retal targets... Which I'm not sure any clan would allow.

Not to mention DHs aren't really that common. Oversending by something like 10% is more than enough to all but eliminate them - I really haven't seen many failed retals this set.

The idea that fighters won't fight other fighters (when they present any level of challenge) is one of the core reasons the politics on this server absolutely suck.

Fighting alliances should take that "we're not signing pacts" attitude and apply it to people who can challenge them fighting (and whose focus and goal is to fight), not just to alliances who are looking to avoid war and net.

Collab vs. iMag happened last set, and in the end the alliances were fairly similar in terms of final net etc. (if I recall correctly)

Difference was of course that Collab was also fighting PDM, SoF and EEVIL ;)

As far as your promises to iMag, Makinso, didn't you basically ok the LCN and Fist plan the set before we hit iMag? Kinda takes away the "we were unprepared and netting" excuse, since you knew about a war, decided to net anyway and then used the netting as an excuse for what happened to you in the war.

You were going to war PDM over what you considered to be 4 RoRs? That is pretty pathetic. Glad you screwed yourselves over. This server definitely needs more people who do everything in their power to stifle landgrabbing.

Yes, best alliance pound for pound. But the reason they're winning TNW is because LaF and Collab are at war and LCN is in an "integration" set.

Fine, have a look at the grabbing between Fist and Monsters.

And Spawn is correct, with two exceptions that I can think of off the top of my head, every clan we have grabbed has complained either to us or to someone else or had suicides.

And Ruth's point of view seems pretty boring to me. Fine, you don't like being grabbed... maybe they should set up a special all explore server for you to play on.

Well, your #'s of grabs per member are either wrong, or not policed very well.
I can say for certain that some mid sized clans have been tagged for more grabs then your policy allows.
Unless this is a new policy..(i mean NEW this set)

Curious to see examples?

I just ran through our news with PDM for the set, we have one double tap - the only violation of our 72h policy with you guys.

If that's "not policed very well," how would you describe your 5 RoRs (within 5 days) that weren't related to any policy disputes? (ie. the 48 vs 72 hour thing)
