Breaking the enemies spirit is the best way to win the war

...and therein lies the problem. This isn't actually war, it's a game. One that, played this way, becomes less and less fun for all the gamers on the underside of the current banana boot.

I don't mind losing; I'm a (probably) averagely skilled player who sometimes wins and dies often. The winning of a campaign means little to me truth be told - it's only points on a meaningless scoreboard that I don't usually even look at... and some extra gold after 30 days (an amount so small I can farm it in less than a night.) I like a good fight - one in which I at least have a chance of survival. (Actually, killing the current emperor and his lacky outside Arrius last night, with the help of 2 NPC guards, was pretty fun )

What I do mind is a complete faceroll by a never ending train of bananas mimicking a horde of ants, destroying all in their path. One that also, once the map is taken, camps outside the gates of an enemy faction to make sure no-one from that faction can even join the game. And all to serve the egos of a few misguided guild leaders.

Ants are pretty cool, right? Collectively as innovative and ingenious, as industrious and as warlike as humans. A super-organism. Its a good parallel, I think.

Individually, ants are nothing - useless, helpless, incapable of independent action. So to all in the rampaging banana zergs... is that why you play this game?

Well played. Really, I'm impressed.

It is a war though, It's AvAvA. Without the war aspect we would all be standing on the bridge playing a never ending map of call of duty.

DC on Thornblade is a terrible feeling of wasted man power and stupid decisions, For example today when AD have all scrolls and Emp and all DC guilds decide Chalman is a good idea to pvp at because of a few wipes at the hands of AD.

Too much credit goes to the AD faction, But in reality blame your factions guilds for being complete muppets

That Exile guild on DC side... XD

Yeah, EP often wonder the same. Why do the smurfs love Chalman so much?

Bleakers nightclub!
Bananas approve.

Reminds me of the classic Auriel's Bow maps back in the day.

Much more fun than owning everything and trying to fight every other DC for a few measly kills.

Yeah dem nabs!

DC like Chalman a lot because too scared fight yellows, I've never been so annoyed that me and my 4 amigo's went to cap nikel to fight yellows, rode a long way and everyone's at chalman playing with EP.

People need grow some *** and fight, If you lose try harder to win instead of goin for easy options. Only way you get better.

It's a game first. A simple law of human nature - if something isn't fun, isn't necessary and you're not getting paid, you will stop doing it.

If it's war, even Sun Tzu said:

“When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.”

Yeah, like the one who thought good PvP was to take King's lumber every night to farm randoms, no matter what the map looked like.

Your opinion, as always, is pure gold.

When we took kings lumber our main campaign was Azura, where i was emp with a basically blue map after we crushed the enemy spirit. So every midnight we ported over to Thorn and brought EP back to base to kill them, in them days AD wernt dominant. When they became dominant we switched to Alessia farm.

We farmed with less than 8 people on a campaign we didnt care about.

I've just heard that Warbow managed to make emp late last night. I would like to thank all the factions for making this possible (especially those that went without food to do so ) and request that you don't dethrone until after 9 pm UK time tonight so I can witness the glory that is the Emperor Caltrops

An Emperor Werewolf who actually uses the ultimate is amazing, gratz Warbow!

Edit: Been deposed now.

Belated hooray for Warbow!

I think that was shortest reign in game. Less than 1 hour or so right? And he was offline during his reign. So i think he deserves one more try, EP

I think thats the saddest thing i've ever read on these forums poor Warbow...

Shortest reign I've seen was around 20 min, some campaigns ago. Forgot who it was though

You're welcome

I'm afraid he wasn't even online at all while he had Emp.
Would have loved to see it! Shame on all of you who deposed him so fast!!

Less than 1 hour is not possible, since we were going for the scroll when he was Emp for around 1 hour and at that point only Alessia was yellow.
Must have been at least 2-3 hours, buuuut I'm not the person with shortest Emp time on Thornblade anymore, thank you for that.

Sanct16

Shortest reign on Thornblade was Jamyy with 1h 05m.

Well... Yeah, honestly we were having our morning coffees while you beating smurf asses for scrolls. But then we took 4 keeps with pugs and blue took 2 in an hour or so. There were no deffence at all though. So that wasn't fair.

But I really like to see Warbow as emperor again, a real one, with his sneaky archer build and WW ultimate. That'd look so...weird and...different. But would certainly watch him in action to see how is it gonna work
And how the *** did he manage to make that much AP with a single bow? o_O /respect

Ps: I don't know him personally and I hate his play style and his well known lethal arrows

He's playing like crazy and he's not only using a Bow, he's got a 2-hander in his second hand!
I can imagine that he must be quite annoying, but he's a good guy. I really like him so would have been interesting to actually see him in action. He already left the campaign to give someone the chance to be Emp that is a Leader for the Pact and not a "2k hp Scout" (that's what he wrote in Zone today. )
So Great-Dark-Elf is no.1 for EP again... at least for now! :P
