Now, the state of the player base is appalling. Manners are gone, bots run rampant, women drive cars, cigarettes are "unhealthy" all of a sudden and the top alliance is valued at more than 3 times the second rank. This cannot go on!

After some experimenting this round I've decided to propose a unusual alliance next round. You have all seen the regular FTW and FTF alliances, bounty hunting alliances, pure protesting alliances and even bribing alliances. I want to start a honour/fame alliance.

The rules will be simple: Under no circumstance shall you attack anyone below 75% of your value. Any red titles means automatic expulsion from the alliance. Attacks shall be to the letter and intent honourable, i.e. no pure stealth mobs, LET-rushing, bashing, "piggying" or waving.

Contactability, activity and past experience is not an issue. Choice of route is up to the individual member. As defense usually grants both fame and honour in abundance, I suspect that will not be a problem.

The spirit will be light-hearted, the ultimate goal will be as many portalling in h/f as possible, pants will be optional.

If you're idea of "fun" is amassing land and troops and then keep a constant vigil in case someone attacks you, there is no need to apply. If you feel the game has run stagnant and you would like to try something a bit different, or just if you want to hang out for a round, playing whatever hours a day you feel like, maybe trying out a new route or getting that illustrious award, you been waiting for, but most of all if you know that Life > This game: send me a PM or reply to this thread.

I promise only silly puns, free hugs and a place to call home.

They say you should not bring a knife to a gun fight, let's see what the result will be if we bring puppies, golf balls and human remains and exclaim: "Look: Batman disguised all your food as glue, Hi I'm Science, let's race!"

If by any chance work is quiet, I may request a role in this. I won't be very active, but I do hold some sort of entertainment value.
It sounds like it could actually be fun. I will definitely be reserving judgement on that til I see the size of the playerbase, though. Only so many people you can attack before you're repeat attacking...

Dax, well there is always all the bots, they usually have troop-ratios that make for colorful battles, and when the goal is fair fights there usually is enough atrition that you don't outgrow them.

The B Number bots do, but the "name-bots" seem to be braver... haven't had any run yet this round.

I managed it last round - But they do seem to be much more organized ratio-wise than the basic 'B' ones. I've seen more stupid players, I'll say that much.

Just for keep "commenters" from those who are interested in a spot... could you please mark if you are interested or just commenting on bot's strategic prowess and the concept of a H/F sillyally? :D

As long as neither activity or contactability is required, and you can put up with me randomly suiciding because I bugger off and forget I'm even playing, let alone attacking, I'll be up for it :)

Still places, if you want a low impact, hassle-free and entertaining round. Rookies and old farts welcome. But if your dream is to portal in score, the princess is in another castle!
