not really. after i spoke with Mr P yesterday night, i didnt bother checking GE till today when i logged in to find that i was dead. Credit for killing players with 5 turns attacks but something to keep in mind - one of SVs greatest strenghts - my willingness to dedicate myself fully to the war & the survival of each and every state had at that point ended. maybe thats what Sky were waiting for
good plan
otherwise they would have just wasted loads of turns
we set out what we wanted to do and we did it succesfully.
everyone here is *****ing and crying but at the end of the day it boils down to this:
SV was made as a war nation and didnt hide this. We could have. I could have said that im making a nation to win set, wouldnt have told any of my members the warring plans then made some bull**** excuse to hit whoever we wanted one by one without warning.
that however is lame and not fun.
my vision for the set was for Shock Value to go down in flames because at no point did i intend to fight a battle where we were going to be sure winners. if at some point the fight would have seemed to be obviously going to our favour - we would have expanded the war to make it more fair. there wasnt a 'must win & finish top at all costs' mentality, strategy and tactics that people have come to so dearly associate with me
now, just because SV was made as a war nation and has lots of very experienced warrers in its ranks doesnt mean its the pinnicale of warring ability. we have our limits. We planned to take on numbers/odds which were obviously bigger than us. However the opposite happened. We stood our ground as much as we could and took out as many states as we could.
Just because we wanted to war doesnt mean we automatically are fine with loosing/accelerating our demise - hence us making strategic surrender to Sky. We knew would continue fighting to the end - so why not make it harder for them?
Since i have no interest in committing myself to an all set war (never was intention in first place ) & coupled with the fact that the offer was made at a time when i wanted to commit myself to something else, me and Mr P agreed to peace.
I have no problems with the nations FSing us, nor the outcome of the war. i think both sides did well. i think this is the biggest war with the least amount of mud slinging/**** swining by its participants (except ill admit my earlier spat with TNG and w/e Cem is arguing with other ppl about) plus i dont think anyone can truly feel upset about it.
Regarding to Sky posters arguments with Cem - again ill reiterate - Cem is expressing his views on the war, not SVs as a whole or even all its leadership im not really sure what you guys are arguing about tbh...skipped all of it - all i can say is that on the outside looking in, things are never as they seem
At the end of the day without SV this set we would have most likely been looking at much much much lower player activity & another set of Sky infantry whoring to top1
. Im glad to see EX/nball/SE/Asbestos filling up the top. it makes for a nice change
i think i covered eveything
