4.) Emperor purposely holds council seats open. I'll fill them, and let the rest unfold.

But as we can see now, timeout for that is at least 1 month, or maybe even 2 months and more.

Just take a break and wait for Sivyh to delete/age die, as many other players do now. If it's really a problem for you, go on and make a character that can see hidden and multikill Sivyh until condeath

Key word: purposefully.

Were there suitable options the council would be full.

Bull*** and lame excuse. Everyone knows there are good players in the cabal, with good amount of time invested into the game. Or were, until most of them deleted (thanks to you).

Looks like someone do not like when people do sh*t like that and keeping cabal weakened for months, purposely. I like to play empire, but I won't even bother until things change.

Also, I know at least 3 more players who:
a) do not play empire until situation changes;
b) do not play CF until situation in empire changes.

I am not alone who thinks that, but looks like I'm only one who care to post it.

1: I am not playing empire till my friend gets into a leader position so I can get easy promotions.

2: I am not playing empire till they are very strong and I do not have to have a challenge.

Butthurt everywhere.

You know nothing of me, and what you are doing now is called slander. I've played loners, I've played Sylvans when they had only 3 characterrs vs 12 imperials online, so keep that #### away from me.

And better stop being an a$$ and look at the situation in CF objective.

Unless you = Sivyh or some ass, who want to see Empire weakened forever.

I took it as "my friends and I won't play empire until a russian is emperor", judging from his grammar. However, let me also say that I cannot speak russian and you do very well for it being a second language.

No, I didn't say I will not play empire until my friend become emperor. This is completely wrong interpretation/trolling of TMNS.

But I will not play until emperor changes, that's for sure. Reason - because emperor keeps empire empty imho on purpose. Problem not with the council - problem with the presense, inspiration, actions.

Nobody see that he is doing anything, except for care for his own ass. He is not promoting, not demoting, not interracting with anyone, including imperials; if there is RP, I never seen it (yes, I've talked only twice with him, and heard him only once over CB during last THREE months!).

I can be wrong with judgement, but there is one fact: empire is in ruins. It was weak before the cup too, it is weak now, and it will be weak until he is emperor.

The main reason is: he is not LEADING. He is playing a loner character, but not a leader.

Is it on purpose or not? Maybe it's lack of basic understanding what cabal leader must do, maybe it's on purpose (I'm sure it is, because he is surely not a noob).

Since this seems to be degenerating into pointless bickering I will keep this short. Your impressions and opinions are legitimate even if I do not share them, however you've been baited into lashing out at an active pc rather unashamedly, I'd suggest you stop that. My impressions of the current emperor are based on interactions over a few different characters, both above, below and against him. I myself do not share your opinions in any way and have seen a fair few 'soft' moments from him with regard to promotions. As has been stated if the imms see someone viable for a council seat and it is sitting vacant, they will act. Try not to let your temper turn your initial question/argument, however legitimate, into something that will be completely ignored as a result of your lashing out.

I sohuldn't discuss about active character and I apology for that. I was angered and saddened by the whole situation.

I'm finished here.

I for one am glad Sivyh is the Emperor.

Most chars in Empire hardly ever actually roleplay evil when they are not ranking or gathering gear. Sivyh does.

Long Live Sivyh!

(Might be time for me to roll another imperial)

Because you do not play Empire and Empire sucks now.
Way to go, mr. objectiveness.

And I bet you will not make imperial anytime soon.

I'm trying to figure out if you're a whiner or just stupid.

I barely care for that, but keyword - 'I've just deleted imperial hero'.
And everyone else did the same, and not without a reason.

You are saying one and doing completely different. Good work with making clown out of yourself.

And stop throwing insults - learn to speak polite (or are your farmer parents didn't taught you manners at all)?

Discussion with you is over, since it will turn into insults, and I am totally not interested in such here, nor do I like to feed the trolls like you. Bye.

That's a shame too. Explosion is a cool handle name.

Based solely on this thread, I'm not sure if that's an "or".

Good for your reputation, to piss off players.
It will surely help to increase playerbase.

Not surprising that players are leaving CF with time, when instead of polite treatment, imms are insulting them.

Edit to add: now I see why Kriklov got broke, and probably it's not completely his fault.

I hope you don't think you're not trolling.

No, I am not trolling. I am pissed off by the manners of TMNS and tone of his reply, and I am insulted by your post too.

I am storngly disappointed by the situation with the empire, since it's my favorite cabal and 90% of the reasons why do I play CF it is because I am former imperial player.

Even if I would troll, it's not giving right to the game administator (imm in our case) to insult players. But seems you are unfamiliar with the basic rules of community management, and this is one of the reasons why CF sucks that much with playerbase.

As much as I have grown to like Empire, you are the last type of player I want to see re-enter it, and the first type of player I would find a way to demote/anathema or become a sect leader just to ruin your character. I would give an empire elite spot to a serial newbie Fortress player in his first year of play, or Java, over you.

I'm not the only one with this opinion based on your bit ch behavior. Sit down and STFU before you get a ban and this thread closed.

You know nothing about me and my characters, nor which leaders did I play. Your opinion is based on one thread, where I disagree with the sitation and are not licking imms asses, like you do right now.

Good luck with that, and please don't post in my threads anymore, since your posts is not constructive and contains only insults, without any common sense. Thanks.

I just deleted a second echelon post-40 Imperial. If I had stuck it out longer, I could have had an elite slot, and this was in a sect with a sect leader. The sect leader was logging barely 1/8th of the hours I was logging lately during a 1 week timespan and that means he probably has sh it going on IRL.

Based on having more information than your stupid whiny entitled ass, Sivyh is doing just fine, there just aren't any viable candidates for Dread Lord or High Priest yet. Vinq could be High Priest but doesn't log enough hours and Sivyh may not be entirely fond of him either. There are, as of right now, maybe 3 divines in the sect if not less, and only 2 pre-40 AP's that are trying to get to unholy blessing on less than 4 hours of gameplay per day with only a little bit of attention from the flourishing blade sect and barely any attention at all from the shadow sect, and then need they still need to get between 20 and 50 charges after that on hours that are currrently barely breaking 50 players DURING A 3 DAY WEEKEND (this weekend). before even levelling high enough to get an elite spot. Their choice of targets then remains primarily mid-level ragers, not the easiest thing to take down without charges to begin with.

If anything, the amount of Nexans or Ragers in each cabal outnumbering the amount of players with an actual alignment is a bigger problem, and village is *always* a problem when their active cabal population gets above 20 players, more than half of which are berserkers at any given moment.

The Empire is just fine all things considered, and you need to go fu ck yourself.

Your time spent on this thread is better off rolling the next stupid Russian duergar AP with an easy barrier and farming charges. (no offense to you Alex) since Dread Lord is practically up for grabs for free right now.

Our disconnect is that you see CF as a job for me, whereas I see it as something I'll stop doing if it ever becomes one.

So, yeah, I'm not going to be afraid to say I disagree with you, even if you throw back the oldest threat in the MUD book to it. I'm sorry if you find that offensive.

I do not mind disagreeing. I mind when imms (no matter if they are working or if it's they fun game, like I had in other games too) saying that you are an idiot and a whiner. This is unacceptable in any serious project that care for playerbase, for ANY moderator/administrator/imm, because they are face of the game and they must care for the reputation of the project where they are working - if they want their project to keep on going. You underestimate comminuty and your role in it, if you allow yourself to say things like you do, just because you have different opinion.

That's about how he talks to everyone, so I guess you can get over it or follow through on your threat to leave. (or not take it personally, but I don't think you are going to do that)

Thanks, I think?

It's not that I'm out to be a #### to anyone, but I'm not sure there is a diplomatic way to say: "Have you considered the reason you haven't been promoted might be less about other people plotting against you and more about you just not being as cool as you think you are?"

Although, in retrospect, I should have said that instead. And that's the only honest response to give.

It's kind of like "Hot Tub Time Machine". You're an ass sometimes, but you're our ass. Also, for the most part, you treat everyone equally.

There are reasons why the two seats are empty. "Because I fear another coup" is not one of them.

Also, for the record, I'm uncommonly generous when it comes to promotions. Really.

If I could really, seriously dig in to the RP of an evil character, I'd totally play Empire.

But I would seriously have to teach the other lowbies how not to gank.

I could have bet day it was de reason to keep de seats empty and I dig dat..though turned out it was not...

i cant remember when the empire was so weak.. only players awake are lowbies, and the ones who are elder are often around alone..

there are nobody around to promote, and even though i see at lease one guy for a counsil seat, nothing have happened for months..

i think you dont wish it to be full agian

Poor ESL players. No russian perma in Empire means that cabal is closed to them.

How dare the American oppressors take over Empire and actually roleplay evil characters instead of bad Engrish team-evil.





PS This entire post is 95% in jest. Please don't get too bent out of shape

i dont know anyone who plays cf.. and im not from russia.


without us ESl players, cf would be so low in numbers that nobody would play.

No prob. I'll make a leader char in every other cabals (nexuns on the first place) and keep it in the same condition as team Good Speaking Americans keeping empire.

If they do not promote players due their language, I can do the same #### to GSA team.

We are team GSA and we finally got to rule empire. Will not promote anyone who we believe is russian (even if they are not russians at all). But better we will not promote anyone susppicious than promote a russian player by mistake!

And if we will have to keep empire empty, well, it's a price for not giving chance to the russian players to rule it again!

Perhaps you missed the part where I said 95% of that was in jest.

The 5% that wasn't in jest has been proven correct by your responses here

You have a bad case of anti ESL,
my friend...seeing how you keep bringing it threads

Now, this is a variant on the old "You're a racist" situation.

So, much like a white person says "But I have a black friend" as if that would make them any less racist (like seriously dude, if you have 1 black friend and you refer to him as the black friend, you're probably a little racist), without further adieu.....

My best friend at the moment down in Savannah is ESL German born, moved here in 2003. I make fun of them all the time for their engrish
