Ha ha - no, it's not an RPG.
Politics here is for real not just something you act out for the game.
I don't know what games you've played before but any game worth playing takes time to learn and get good at but you appear to be skipping that bit.
Your behaviour is a bit like turning up at the World Chess Championships and, realising you won't beat the Grandmaster you have been put up against in your first match, you climb up on the table, crouch over the board and unleash a massive turd right in the centre.

Then you keep posting about how the turd you did was the best thing that ever happened to the game of chess and that lots of other people enjoyed the turd and support you and are going to do the same.

Not technically against the rules - check
Fundamentally trying to alter the game - check
Fun (for you) - check
Annoying for people who want to play the game properly - check

And I think you're confusing trash talking with propaganda. There seems to be a lack of understanding of what I am doing here by some, but that's not surprising.

You also didn't know what the bonus button was for.

Right. Are you just trying to get a bonus right now. Is that why you posted that. Or was this a failed attempt at contributing to the conversation?

Just making the point that you started this set knowing fluff all about the game but you still thought you knew enough to try and change it.
I'll bet you didn't even know about the oil stat boost!

im not saying i dont want fastcars to hits us. i actually suspect that u NEED fastcars to hit us and expect it to b the outcome. its jus that ive heard the mighty darkness can 1v3 its opponets in the past and was hoping that we were up against the same greatness.😃 that was in the alliance server so maybe rules r different...howevr i guess time will tell.

The old reverse psychology trick - nice. If only Fast Cars was part of Darkness that might just have worked for you.

sfbob - my posts aren't bravado, they are propaganda, which I very clearly outlined in one of my first posts here.

The difference is that I'm attempting to rile people up with the sole focus of creating more activity, recruiting people to this server, and attempting to be a catalyst for fun.

You, my friend, are simply thumping your chest and explaining how you'll steamroll me and anyone else who tries anything you don't like, over and over again.

I'm trying to create activity and fun. You're just being a jerk.

And if sfbob is mad cause he's in fastcars and we hit one of theirs... Well GOOD. I'm glad he's mad then. It means we did something right.

That doesn't make any sense - if you're trying to rile people up in the name of 'fun' and you think you've riled me up then according to you that's good?

But when I rile you up then that's not fun for you and I'm just being a jerk?

I really can't understand why you think I'm being such a jerk, surely I'm repaying your favour and making the game more fun for you?

I said you were a team of forum crybabies and you've just proved my point. (Just reminding you - this winding you up is fun by the way so keep smiling!)

Anyway your stated purpose was something to do with teams having more than 5 players wasn't it? But now your mission is to make things more fun?

BTW it was already fun here.

1 Your whole mission is suicide. I don't know about strong countries probably you are mostly rainbows.

2 I'm referring to your teammate TheStupid who spends his whole time crying on the forums / in PMs about how unfair everything is.

You're asking me to tone down the bravado??? That's kind of ironic.
Have you read a single word you've written back to yourself Mr Bravado-Hole

Happy to have pissed you off. I know some people here find you funny or whatever but I don't.

I should add this - what's the alternative?

Before The Resistance, if I'm not mistaken, Darkness would simply hit/kill any individuals or small groups that decided to attack literally anyone on the server. That was how they found their combat.

Here's the problem. That just runs the small guy/new players away.

What you're left with is a warring group of people looking for a fight, but not willing to fight anyone who has been around for awhile, which is 90% of team server. 90% of the server not wanting to fight, partly cause they'll get wrecked by Darkness if they do. And 10% of new people/small people never standing a chance, playing a round, and leaving, cause that wasn't fun.

That's what I'm trying to solve with The Resistance.

Alternatively you could play express until you get good, then ask to join / get asked to join a tag in Team or start your own tag that isn't full of suiciders and forum crybabies. I know you've not been around long enough to know but the last time someone tried to impose their will on the netting teams it didn't end well for them and we'll do the same to you guys if we have to. Getting killed again and again, set after set gets boring quickly as you'll find out.

Not sure why you would feel bad about sending a few ineffectual ABs in what has clearly already become a war set.

You're right, someone who has been playing this game for... 2 months, doesn't know the history of teams on this server.

Congratulations with the amazing insight. What other insight can you share with the classroom?

Ultimately, I don't know if it matters. We attacked one guy from Fast Cars, Requiem. And he's been blatantly talking fluff to me and the rest of The Resistance for a month.

So yea, maybe Fast Cars isn't officially a part of Darkness. And the rest of Fast Cars won't get attacked. But Requiem clearly is not a friend of The Resistance and deserves the rubble coming his way.

Req is in Fast Cars now??? lol

I would love to hear your explanation as to how Fast Cars helped out Darkness.

It's a pretty crappy Resistance when it can't even hit the right tag that it declared war on.

HurriKane season is over at the World Soccer Cup after his death strike fail sees England Soccer Club go get eliminized by the Soccer fluffs. The Tottenham Whitespurs inserter made the equalization play after the Three Lines started the second quarter as the second winningest franchise in the game. A felony on Buckaroo Soccer saw him find the ball bag from the death strike. Britain continued to do real nice plays but could not go get some more goalshots, so it kinda sucked when G-Rude’s head kick put the fluffs back on top. The Three Lines still had one more chance to not get the L when HurriKane got another death strike but he kicked it real high over the bar like he was playing football or something. The result means the years of lame continue for Britain but the jewels remain real shiny. 🇳🇿🇷🇺 #WereGoinHome

Argentina, Brazil, France and Spain have all lost matches against opponents they should have beaten, England got their dud performance out of the way against USA, they have thrashed every other team so far, they haven't conceded a goal since the first match against Iraq (which they won 6-2) and one of those was a very dodgy penalty decision. If England can beat France on Saturday I think they'll go on to win it. Finalists in the Euros last year, semi finalists at the last World cup, their tournament form and experience is among the best. Though of course you can't count anyone out in the world cup few people would have picked Croatia as finalists in last world cup, Costa Rica in the QF in 2014 etc there could be a suprise package or two left in the competition.

'Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh Lord, why don't we?
We all know that people are the same wherever you go
There is good and bad in ev'ryone
We learn to live, when we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive, together alive
Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh Lord why don't we?'

"Coach Ricky Martinez fires his own ass after the Belgium Soccerlets get eliminized from the World Soccer World Series Cup after a 0-0 L to some other franchise. The Soccerlets had a whole bunch of goalshot opportunities in the second quarter, only for all-time scoringest athlete Lou Kaku to go play like his cleats were not actually cleats but joints of ham. With the Soccerlets eliminized before the sweet 16s, Martinez will now have to go Livin’ La Vida Soccer some place else 🇩🇪"

TRIGGER WARNING....

PET DEATH...

HAMSTER HAS REACHED HAMSTER VALHALLA...

Our hamster Layla died today. She'd been slowing down recently so I had a feeling she didn't have long left but unfortunately she took a turn for the worse last night but managed a last meal of a bit of cheese. She was still hanging on this morning, not moving but breathing heavily so I got her out and held her and she died in my arms about 30 minutes later. Her ears picked up and she seemed happy that someone was with her in her final moments and she died peacefully in the end. She was a great hamster, she never bit anyone and loved to play and scurry. RIP Layla
