The most tumultuous start I've seen in a number of sets. Are some of these carry over from previous rounds or just aggressive farming and appropriate responses?

We’re bringing the primary style of play to tournament

If you want to play boring all explore that is fine, but you will lose to someone who is snatchin and grabbin

I think there's only one real war going on and that was because someone farmed another good player. The rest is pretty one sided. I think it's mostly because there are 22 players this set =)

haha

Guessing #9 and #20 have bad blood from a prior round.

Love a good war!

You would think! The issue was firstly I was in Primary brain in this server and not aware or thinking of how it works in these moments and into my 2nd set which I definitely paid for in the early moments of this war as well. I have played in here very briefly over the years but not sure I ever committed to a set. You can not see it but he decided to farm me hard. I mean, my country build was very good. But playing more like I was tagged up in a clan, than in a server like this one. Part of me says, o.k I was asking for it, but the other part is like come on, man! LOL. Not the best country to try and farm despite my pants being off and a tricky point to work to get them on, let alone pulled up.


Fun server though! Definitely like this server and glad I decided to play.

Fun times for sure :)

I think A's winner last set can put that statement to rest.

This statement had absolutely nothing to do with last round and was/is clearly a statement about this round

Mean while in game C, relatively nothing is happening.

I was reading it much differently, thanks for clearing that up. One set statement.

I am getting whooped :) I can't help think though it was not worth it even with the little fight I have in me and the land that is taken. Will be better preped next time. Looks like a fun news history though for A this set.

Got to give it to you. You are both beating each other down fairly equally.

The old; it is what it is. I think given the way I decided to try and play this server, and this round, I did alright. Players like CheeZ bring spice and life to the game, it is all fun of course, but in the end for them little can be gained and this style of play (decent players hitting decent players) will result in not much but a wrecked set, more often than not. It is peculiar as of course there was better targets, to try and farm. But all players bring what they bring and it keeps things interesting in a game that has seen much better days and slowly in numbers has been fading away. Of course some will leave because of players like this, some will leave because they get farmed, some will find something they do not like which leads them away from playing. I just take it all in, and while trickier with such low player numbers I still embrace all styles of play that take place. It is a war game after all. Just be nice if we had more players like the good 'ol days.

It looks like you're pulling ahead now. Very well played considering he was rank 1 when the war started.

Looks like even more fighting happening now. I've added daily checking of the news to my tourney routine, haha.

Definitely some retribution going on (I'm guessing, e.g. I think Cheech and Chong went full AB on a single PS in a previous set, so it looks like someone farmed and BR'd him preemptively) - but for the others... it's back to the wild west. I had been trying so hard to normalize single grabs and retals too.

I saw someone else five tap cheech and Chong with no retal so I assumed he was a noob and declared war blind to farm him, and it turned out to be a mistake

Whoops

That's a tricky part about tourney. Once you declare war you are pretty much locked in regardless of how they look. I wish you could still do harmless ops just to check before declaring.

Yea it would be nice if you could do a simple spy op without declaring war, and you would see a lot more land grabs if the humanitarian range was also extended

Unfortunately I doubt any of us will see any changes to this game before it dies

Craziness has started early this round.

For sure. I've got my farm country now.
