Forums / In game politics / Era of Grumpyoldbastard

LOL... Maybe if everyone new you were a good guy Osi. Perhaps change your name to Friendly Lord Finwe. :P j/k

all that really matters is the Kingdom at the top of the charts... just make it the "Era of Abydos" and leave individual players out of it ;-)

Lenard fed more than anyone and he did it in what I consider the worst way.  Abydos started kicking members and letting Lenard take over their cities to boost his score.

Architect, please leave your ignorance at the door. There is no Lenard in Abydos, and no one was kicked from Abydos. That makes you wrong on both counts. Thanks for trying though.

Yeah, if we had known you were just going to feed Gumpyoldbastard to get to the top, we could have easily fed Freedom Fighters to one of our top players. Instead we were naive and focused on the overall victory and not the individual win. In my opinion, our fault for not letting one player take every one of the FF cities and letting DB steal the win by giving Gumpyoldbastard the PKS cities.

go legend

we blame the system and those that abuse it for their own gain : hence we dont wall hop or wallswap :) but dont worry we will be comming for you. our respect though? probably not going to be gained.

Go um...........Messiah?

Legend i will have to correct you.

You *assumed* you had the highest income, you *Assumed* you had the most armies  and you were *convinced* that you are dominating in your (now blatantly obvious) streak of arrogance.

Now i will correct you.
First of all, i can imagine you having a boatload of troops on the field, very nice for you, i had several boatloads of troops in our blockers, i was just not as flamboyant about it as you were.

We *were* trading places on the HoH but we traded it due to me losing *beep*loads of troops on a neverending quest to bruteforce a cursed wall (grrrrr, Jonathan how much i cursed you and our mages!) and not paying attention to my HoH spot (buying up all resources from KD mates i could see to channel some of my income into their hands as some were away over holidays etc). And if Osi wouldn't display such annoyingly LGCish attitude in taking colonies that weren't yours to take i would keep not paying attention as frankly, i really didn't care about your craving to "dominate". That changed there and then. And voila, me being an old experienced hoe i did all that was needed to overtake you for good, i had the network to do it and trust me, my income matched the network (your assumption about being biggest and baddest was only that - an assumption).

Now, i know you guys need something to cling on to and you are gonna cry about feeding till the end of existence, and i'm probably expected to
care  about it but to answer Lewatha at this point: Yes girl, i'm well aware of what i did, and if i didn't have then Legend would have only missed the HoH spot by a million. Would that make you any happier? I sincerely doubt so.

So go on with your whining and crying, all you do with it is make yourself look silly :)

Legend you obviously can't accept being beaten at your own game, but you still get gratz from me, as you did good. And had you won you'd still get the gratz from me. Show some integrity and don't let emotions guide your reasoning. As that steers you away from the truth.

*hugs&kisses*

/Raist ze Grumpyoldbastard

Osi i'm telling you to learn some manners. You know, the usual cordial "dude, we'll be taking your colonies here, hope you don't mind" upon which you'd get a reply along the lines of "no, not at all, go ahead don't really need them anyway".

Instead you wen't on about trust and such which ofc is utter bollox. If you take a man's colonies you better make sure you inform him of it. Especially if he hasn't lifted a finger against you.

You say aiding your "enemy" i say helping friends do some transferrals. Not remotely connected to you. But ofc your universe is so big that all actions of people inside VU somehow brush against it. Sheesh, give me a break Osi. Seriously. You are full of garbage and you know it.

right helping your friends so they could increase the magic protection of there wall. are you that naive? no i didnt think so and im the one full of *beep*? have you turned into a pansy these days?

It took you guys all era to beat db and you have the balls to say that? Raist if your too stupid to realise wallswapping with lgc is going to make you a target well then i feel sorry for you. and yes Legend did kill Lightblood and yes we all know they were made to be anti db. they attacked us we killed them whats the problem with that? I have friends ingame raist the only difference is i dont ask them to help me townswap and they wouldnt be stupid enough to not realise that townswapping a wall to an elf is a hostile act against the kd it is aimed at.

Osi we have the balls to laugh at a KD pretending to be something that they aren't :) You are trying to be the next LGC, but you lack the panache for it. And it took us all era to beat PKS actually. And yes Lightblood were made to be anti db. Of course, and Phi and Aby arent affiliated in any way and Legend didn't take Condinhos colonies, and Legacy backed away, not you as you wanted to spare Legends troops to save his spot. And you are conquering heroes for rolling over some poor hapless nabs and we should all scream at the top of our lungs "Osi is the king, Osi is the king!". Wait, no, thats some other dream of yours and you will have to sort of snap out of it.

Osi go tell good night tales to somebody else. Please. We both know that the truth in this game is always multi-layered and that nothing is as obvious as it seems at first glance. What you can do to come off as the bigger man now is say "oh well, we just didn't make it, better luck next time". Ofc you will war us next era, we are all looking forward to it, and thats gonna be it. No need for the whole testosterone induced "we will come get you and shed blood and god knows whatnot" speeches. Its VU. Ofc you will come after us. We took your era away from you. Or did you think that we naively thought that you wouldn't be if we said "woops, soorryyy our bad" :D

Actually Lb was created so I could get rid of Survivor. =)

LMAO.... Woops, sorry our bad...

paid for by the Raistlin for president fund

begging? i think you need to ask your friends how and why the nap was signed :)  *and im going to bed so flame all you like you will recive no more replys :)*

Someone who only wars PKS wins the era, what does that say about the system?

Seriously the system does need an overhaul. Then maybe people would play other races besides dwarf.

congrats to the grumpyoldfarmer, congrats to the lgc-db team

We wont be using wall hop or crap so dont be insinuating we will be

Aligreat, is that a promise on behalf of DB? I have never seen an era go by without DB townswapping and wallhopping. Why would you change your tactics now?

Godlike? Music? are they even a Kingdom?

We don't let our enemies farm all era then take their mines in the last week. Admittedly, it worked very well for DB, using Legacy and Carnage as shields while their personal mining factory (PKS) built lots of nice 90ks for them. Maybe we should take note for next era?

I'm not gonna get into a flame war with you guys i know how much you love to but i'll leave it for the big boys...

I would just like to say first of all Osi and Sloth for you two whining on about us fighting pks i remember you not so long ago spending most of the era fighting them as well so you're hardly in a position to flame PKS.  They did a great job and we did struggle the first half of the era with half the kingdom being inactive and the entire era without our mages.  We lost several people this era and I did wait until the last few days to kick them, but that was well after Raist was trading top spot with Legend all on his own, I know he's been out of the game a while but his whoring capabilities are well....wtf...it's Raist :P iconic is the word maybe? hehe 

If you want to call that feeding that is well within your right to do so but we have never kicked anyone out of the kingdom just to secure a score and I didnt start now-  the people we removed were already gone.  Did raist get most of those towns yes, probably so, did it secure his win? I dont think so but I am also aware you did have ppl feeding legend their towns so that's hardly something to flame us for

Anyway our activity and warring did pick up the final part of the era and we had just started to tangle a bit with Phi, Zeon and Bow when the era was ending-  I am not going to make any excuses for that tho this was a holiday era but if you want to flame us that is fine we know we fought hard this era and that is enough for us.

I congratulate everyone on the top 10 and all the kds that lasted on fantasia the list seems to get smaller every era..... And to Abydos it's fine if you want to war us I expected you to regardless of the era outcome and we'll see you next era...

LOL ya every kingdom will be much more active because of no more holidays

Grumpy => Raistlin

It is very clear to me that in future HoH top-player "victories" in Fantasia will be all about massive team-effort farmathons complete with town-feeding, era-long farming, pre-game decisions about who each kingdom's "candidate" will be, and so on.

Legend did everything right as an exceptional player who was also an active war-fighter and merge leader and who also gained a noted boost from the early conquest of some good Music mines, but otherwise Abydos made no special arrangements for him until the last two days when it was already too late. He carried on leading huge merges against Legacy till just a few days before the end--the troop maintenance costs must have been fantastic since even mine exceeded 10 million/tick. He deserved the era victory, but being deserving of it is clearly not enough. Warriors no longer win.

Next era Music will be on Mantrax and will be gaining at least 1 player from Legacy and 1 from Abydos. The player from Abydos will be me. Bye for now. :)

era has ended, no begins the real war :D

*goes to his personal armoury and searching the famethrower*

"He deserved the era victory, but being deserving of it is clearly not enough. Warriors no longer win."

No longer? When was the last time attackers won? 10 years ago maybe. That said please stop kissing Legend's ass, he farmed straight OOP, he was #1 on hoh weeks before I even saw an army from him, he farmed just like the others. Please stop the bull*beep*.
