Forums / In game politics / Carnage: Playing... fair?

Well I just thought that this was kind of funny... notice the wall "Speed Bump"... looks like an attempt to slow Abydos down a bit, but still I thought it was quite funny for some reason.

Smart play. :)

Makes it more interesting than the usual back and forth slogging matches. It's just a rare tactic. Nothing unfair about it.

Barny, it isn't a bug. Far from it.


Walls were created EXACTLY like that all those many rounds ago with that in mind. If walls stopped the path of army movements, then all an enemy would have to do is put down walls infront of every advancing army to halt their progress indefinately. Too many new players throw around the "bug" accusations these days without understanding game mechanics, or how features were designed in the past.

Now, don't be so silly. It's perfectly legit, it's perfectly fine. It's smart play, hats off to them. I think Oya and Osi, both vets themselves, will know the purpose of the walls, will know it isn't a bug, and will probably agree with me when I say it was a smart move on Carnage's part.

I didnt really see anything unfair myself, its a tactic been used countless times. Hell I remember one era some kingdom putting up 6 walls in a row, with the blocker at alternating ends...now that was a pain to maneuver:(

Ahhh sloth your overconfidence is quite becoming....

So we are taking bets that you can singlehandedly stop our merge all by yourself?

makes me miss the days when phi and carnage slugged it out without spouting off in the forums....

Cant argue with you there mate;)

Besides, congrats to Abydos for putting together one very scary army, can anyone blame us for running for the hills for reinforcements?^^

<raises eyebrow>

So by extension of your reasoning, all walls are unhonorable if they are built to slow down an incoming enemy? Heh, you need to play more on Fant mate, there are some in Fant who can be real creative with wall building (there was this one guy who was trying to spell out his kingdoms name with walls:P) And His Slothiness is right, that wall is just as big of an pain in the ass for us as it is for them, because if by some small tiny miracle that our soon-to-be-horde can beat their horde, then we will have to navigate that stupid wall:P

Heh, and that sidenote of yours is funny. You find a riverjumping technique quite satisfying?

Funny....i thought jester leadership openly condemned riverjumping of any kind.....

theres nothing controversial about this. its just a wall.

@ Soccer: No. One enemy at a time please. What do you guys think we are? Gods? *Pauses* Oh, yeah, but that doesn't mean that we are really omni-potent. *Pauses and thinks* I think I better shut up.

@ Barny: Erm, don't mind me, for I am still learning the game, but I believe the Abydos guys (aka the honourable kingdom) already made clear that they can live with it.

Id have done exactly the same only created about 5+ of them :)

Quit your whining

omfg that order was so LATE!! my ancesters made that order and yet its only being delivered now??

yeah, carnage sucks for only making one wall. is that the best you can do? mwauhahahahwwhahhaahhaahaaa.

<if by some small tiny miracle that our soon-to-be-horde can beat their horde>

lol that won't be a problem, cuz our horde only has swordsmen in it and nothing else :D so could you errrm errr turn your army around? i promise we'll lose :)

Erm, my recently-returned-from-retirement-diplomat, I thought we got only farmers?

Ha! The jokes on you! When all thats left of the world is a famine ridden cesspool because of the coming nuclear holocaust, we in carnage will be sitting pretty on all those mounds of beans, glorious beautiful beans!!!

Dammit Bruto the pomengranite seeds were a secret, now the other carnage guys will want some:(

Those will be good to serve in Septim's exotic eats

*Septim runs to go steal some seeds

*Septim comes back with a lartge bag of seeds

There is more? Woohooo!!!

*Septim runs off to steal some wine and salted meat

It will take more than wine and salted meat to push us to civil war, dear sire.
* mutters * Wait till I get my spear back from Enyalius....
* Spots Hermes at the corner of my eyes * Hermes, I want your shoes! I want my spear back from that thief Enyalius....
* Feels something sharp in my behind * Yes, my spear! Oh wait, that hurts.
* Starts civil war *

Barny you are stupid

*Suddenly a strange looking rabbit runs in with a box that says: "Trix"

"Hahahhahaha, they're finally mine"

*He is chased by a mob of kids with pitchforks and knives yelling: "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids"

"Hehehe, he's going to get his butt beat"

*Suddenly the rabbit turns around, mouth frothing. He pulls out a Colt 1911 and yells: "Not this time you punks!"

"Holy brown stuff!"

*Septim runs and jumps under a table as the crazy rabbit starts firing

"This is what the kids come up with next!"

I just finished eating a bowl of Trix in RL

Stay away from my shoes! How else can I plunder Persephone, Artemis and Dionysus? I need to work on my own bunker.......

Wow, all this over my little wall. Makes me feel all tingly inside. =D

Really though, the wall wasn't even needed but it's a good laugh.

Would have made more walls to but them darned Farmer Scouts are all over the place! =P

Oya's been drinking that insular beer again?

NO! Akatosh is better!
