11550, Sportsmanship..
Posted by Zelaton on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I've been playing this game for quite a few years. All I can say is come on guys at least try and make it fun. When you do this kind of stuff it isn't fun for anyone. No, I'm not saying that I haven't ganged of anything like that. But come on a give a fellow a fighting chance.


the Archmage of Eternal Night: Intruder! Intruder! (Maran Polearm/Axe) is raiding the Cabal!
the Archmage of Eternal Night: Intruder! Intruder! (Maran Hand/Spear) is raiding the Cabal! (Maran Hand)
the Archmage of Eternal Night: Intruder! Intruder! (Maran Shield Paladin) is raiding the Cabal!
the Archmage of Eternal Night: Intruder! Intruder! (Goodie Healer) is raiding the Cabal!

You scan north.
***** Range 2 *****
(Battle Warrior not hero) the storm giant is here.
(Paladin not hero) the elf is here.

6 on 3 should do it right? Well it doesn't and somewhere in here (Maran Assassin hero) shows up to fight. A few of them die and then (Goodie hero transmuter) shows up and they finally take the scepter when (Battle Hero) shows up after transmuter has prepped the group and left.

Was there anything wrong ic with what happened? No, I don't feel there was. Is is poor sportsmanship? In my opinion definately.
11557, How about this?

When you take your seven against one and still kill the maran inner in six rounds, along with the defender.

How's that for sportsmanship?

In all honesty I can't even believe you brought this to the board. Now you get a taste of what you've been giving the fortress(and I would assume village though I might be wrong) for the last month. Deal with it man, it will get better and all your buddies will be done with christmas leave and stuff in a week and you can go back to your cush raids and totally overpowered gangs and live a life of complete and total sissification.

It's all about the tide. A month ago, before two of the Scion got denied for perma or whatever, you guys rocked the eastern evenings. But now, it's ALWAYS or almost always Fortress.

You just need to hang on.
11554, I tried to do my part...

I fought off the elf and the storm giant when they were sitting near Hamsah, probably right around that time, but didn't kill them because I suck, mostly.

And then the Storm Giant got me later mostly because for some reason I thought I would walk all over him and fought very unprepared. Good job, again, Storm Warrior. That really surprised me, wasn't expecting you to smash me into the ground like that.

And there is definitely some Fort-Battle loving going on right now, and there has been for some time. Not saying it's gay or anything like that, but much like Empire and Tribunal will be buddy buddy when there is an evil Spire leader, Battle and Fort are buddies.

I had hoped that when Dolza tried to start a mini war with the Fort, that would change, but it didn't.

Well which is it? You said you've ganged and whatnot, but you expect other people to not? People in glass houses man.

So you see two people not in the raid. And?

Defending is always easier with smaller numbers. Now what I mean by this is, it's easier to defend than attack in a cabal raid, if you have equal numbers on all sides. Home field advantage, big old inner (and the Archmage is no joke), access to the healer, all kinds of things.

>definately.

People are forever bitching about the tactics the Fort uses. "They suck, they came in individually and died. They suck, they ganged me down. They suck, they used both hands and had one eye open." When Does it stop? Do you think for one SECOND if the situation was reversed that you guys would have been on the cabal channel like "Hey, you know we outnumber them two to one, why don't we leave half of our forces behind, to make things...you know, more sportsmanlike?" "Yeah, hey thats a great idea! Lets just toss aside our advantage, fight on their terms and on their turf, and get ourselves beat down in the process, because thats clearly more fun than winning!" "Ohh! Ohh! I got dibs on going in without a weapon!" "No way man, you got that last time. It's your turn not to cast any spells during the fight because clearly use of your magic is unsportsmanlike!" "Oh fine. But next time I get to raid wearing nothing but Aldeverri eq and wielding a trout."

Come on, have some sense man. I'm not trying to be a #### here, but your really just being silly here.
11551, Forgot to add.

Our three were non hero healer, non hero anti-paladin and myself.
11552, And yet, for all of that:

As much of that raid as I personally saw, they had several casualties and you had none.

Scion's got great powers for raid defense. It's not a joke to raid. They had many more people, true, but I don't think the raid was that unbalanced.
11559, As I'm tipsy....

I'll keep this short and just say that a healer outside of your pk range is much more annoying than a healer that you can kill.
