Well done!

thanks for the cash pdm

stop fluffblocking

PDM is fluffing pathetic and if any of you want that fluff stopped you should have killed the country awhile ago. That or kill PDM next set.

PDM didn't buyout food to $65 yesterday.

Ok so the defense is that there is more than one piece of fluff? :P

I'm no fan of buyouts and think they're usually pointless and wasteful, but they've been part of the game for ages. Calling them cheating and the like is pretty hilarious.

I didnt call it cheating if you are referring to me. It is pathetic though and I'd be down with someone killing that country a few weeks back when it was still possible ;)

So, you'd punish doing something wasteful by doing something more wasteful that'd only create resentment rather than doing anything useful?

The point of aiding is to get a player to the most visible spot in the game and get some (positive) attention for doing so to show how good your alliance is. The best way to respond to that is to say that no one cares about aided countries, 'cause individual rankings are a poor measure of alliance worth, and that it is really easy to win when you're the only one playing. The worst way to respond is to go overboard with your criticism, suggest impractical and pointless responses, and drown out the reasonable criticism :P

Yes I would. Why would I let them take top spots they have no right to? Their players can either earn it or not.

Oh and there is nothing impractical or pointless about killing them. If some bigger clan smashed them next set I bet they wouldnt do it the one after.

Since we're talking about Paradigm in context, let's look at them:

Last 'set, Paradigm fought on the winning side of a coalition war. They have friends, and they probably have a few favours they can call in. So, who are you suggesting hits them? Their allies? The people on the opposite side of the coalition war from last 'set, which would probably result in the war just getting fought all over again? I may be reading the specifics of the situation wrong because I'm not privy to anything related to alliance politics, but the general point stands: alliances don't just decide to spontaneously go to war against some other alliance, as there are a lot of other factors to take into consideration.

No one is going to bother when the individual ranks really don't matter that much to alliances anyway. There's good reason why people rarely aid their players to the top and it isn't because of fairness.

I guarantee you it isnt because the alliance wants their max anw. It is because players are fluffing selfish or some clans actually value a top player instead of some lame FA to the top strategy.

Either way every country this set was run pretty pathetically so that isnt really a surprise that this kinda fluff pops up. When you are left with nothing but fluffty netters they do fluffty things.

It's obvious to anyone who's actually been paying attention only one of the top 5 countries doesn't belong there.

I'd have assumed all of them would have been in the top 10 anyway, to be honest, and I have been paying attention :P

I can point at 2 that don't belong there

lol. PDM member who doesn't approve here. funny thing was wari was talking on our clan forums earlier in the set about how he was going to make a killing reselling tech. guess this was the new "reselling" lol.

Ahh yes... reselling..

Tirol?!

The REAL Tirol?!

When did you get back?
