As usual Twigley's alliance (with DA as apparent spokesman, lol) have massed flak, stolen masses of land, and forgotten to continue teching, thinking they were going to be fine. Amusingly enough, the same problem they've had the last couple rounds unless they were SNAPped with 2 other allies (woop, TBA ftw!).
Teching > Flakking. All you need is enough land to get your techs done, not masses and masses to lord it over the rest of you. Anyone can steal plenty of land in early game, it's not hard, just requires a certain amount of time dedication. Rank 1 in the first few days does not make you the best alliance, i'm sorry to say. War Huh a few rounds ago proved that taking the lead early in the round is more of a disadvantage than it is an advantage. Arguably we were still the best alliance, but that is a difference that is neither here nor there in this argument. The earliest alliance to take the lead will invariably get a resistance organized against them as soon as it is feasible. And if the rank 1 ally masses flak, and doesn't buy enough units to beat the resistance, then you're ****ed. Pretty much period. This isn't the first time it has happened to the Rank One ally, and it won't be the last, mark my words.
As for GC/NOMW working together, get ****ed. That's just absurd. Don't try to tar us with the powerblocker brush because that tar just ain't going to stick. If Asphyxia hadn't been in the lead, they would have done the same thing, only less competently and with more flak (lol). We worked together to beat down Asphyxia (but i have no doubt they'll stop cooperating the moment Asphyxia is well and truly beaten. Although with them in sleepmode for god knows how long this could take awhile. Pussies. Sleepmode merely postpones your eventual beatdown, whereas fighting it out is the reasonably honourable option, even if you're going to lose.) the only reason you guys didn't lose land for the first couple waves was because you guys bought up Masses of Gurus and newsies. There has been a very few wars that have been won on the defensive. Where was the offensive striking power? You can't win by last tick blocking land steals. Just absurd.
DA: The tech advantage we had was striker? LOL. How very quaint and amusing my friend. If you were only a few hours off, that paints a rather eloquent picture of how slow you guys were in teching. You had approx 60k acre land lead from what i remember, and were a few hours BEHIND us? What the **** is that? Pathetic. Learn to play roundstart, or just go play in the rank 15+ allies. A truly pathetic showdown, I think only Fail crumbled faster than Asphyxia this round. And once again, the common denominator is DA. Shocked? I'm not.
As for GC hitting NOMW I have no doubt that they will participate in any attack on the rank 1 ally as a member of the resistance. No doubt in my mind whatsoever. Amusingly enough, NOMW and GC are not powerblockers, nor will they ever be.
Thank you for your time, this has been another announcement brought to you courtesy of the Alcibiades Brain Trust and Codswallop Organization.[/I
EDIT: DA you're a joke, you need to just stop it.
Wait you're going to attack us? I thought we were friends. Friends don't attack friends even if it ruins the game for everyone else. Its not about what anyone else thinks even the game owner. I am very disappointed in you Alci.
