Forums / In game politics / So the biggest tributes in VU

We seen alot of tributes to good players and kingdoms through alliances against them.

Which is your biggest tribute alliance,

You might have hated them and despised them but you did gang up against them and it was not because they sucked and came last.

So through your actions you did tribute them

For me it was

first

I know a bling guy and a TBL guy, and the bling guy liked to break stuff, and TBL liked to plan to break stuff, so they got together and broke stuff.

DLO needs to come in here and give a tribute to his all time favourite player in the game, Lennard, and his (Lennard's) kingdom, the Smiths :D

Black Flag and BoW for me

You getting soft in your old age TBL? 

Forum (Swifty?), I've always had a very soft spot in my heart for Wilber. He is one of the very few human beings on this planet that makes me absolutely confident that I am not at the very bottom of the great food chain of life :) (I had to use so many adjectives to ram home how special Wilberpoo makes me feel <3) :D

My erection for you is like permanent viagra. No matter how many times I try to "make it go away", it just won't.

So how are you doing with your life? Have you gotten yourself a proper education yet? Have you reached a quarter of a million dollars (USD) in net worth yet (after deducting liabilities)? Are you still enriching your landlord by paying him or her rent month after month? You will be happy to know that I am still staying with my parents in Malaysia after all these years and have yet to move out of home.... I am such a failure :(  :D

Ooh, your love life sounds interesting! Its much more colourful than mine since I have stuck with the same lady for.... a very long time now :D Hopefully, one of these days, you will mature enough and a girl will be willing to settle down with you for the long term ;)

The world needs more good politicians. The current crop are mainly rubbish. If you do get into politics, please change your attitude and do not behave like how you have behaved in VU. Unlike VU, the actions and courses you set in politics can affect real people in their real lives. There is no reset button, no restart option, and definitely no such thing as Armageddon and a new era. So less stupidity and idiocy, and a lot more careful and in-depth thought and action from now on please.

Unlike the great you, I did not build a top of the range gaming PC; am still using a two year old Lenovo laptop. I did not go on holiday anywhere last year except back to Malaysia to visit family and friends. I might go to Japan and Taiwan and join a cruise later this year, but I am very reluctant as there are bigger priorities in my life for the next three years.

I am very happy to be with a lady who earns about 1/3rd more than I do. It gives me very large financial and personal security. Naturally, I carry my weight in other matters - I administer the entire household and financial and investment affairs and I cook a solid 4 or 5 course meal several times a week for the family. We do not have a car. We do have a live-in maid / domestic helper. I have not bought my own copy of Diablo 3 yet. Nor, I am horrified to say, did I buy my own copy of Starcraft 3 - Legacy of the Void. My brother also bought that for me. I also do not own an Xbox or PS4 or any other game console.

I am less horrified to say that my net worth, combined with that of me waifu's, is about a year's savings away from 7 digits in USD, maybe 1 and 1/2 years if calculated in pounds. I contribute at least 2 / 5th to it. I did not include bought goods into the calculation - that amount is pure cash and liquid investments. We hope to buy a house in Hong Kong in full cash in 3 years, and retire completely from work by the age of 50. Maybe I will go to Greece then. And travel around the world for a few years.

You are welcome to visit me in either Malaysia or Hong Kong. Please notify me about 2 months in advance so that I can arrange my schedule and plans accordingly. Alternatively, I will be in Singapore for about 2 weeks in early July, so if you are there, we can meet up too ;)

Wilber has no qualifications to be considered my enemy or rival, Bran :P

Of course I always think about him, Bran. Wilber has one of the most memorable and amazing character and thought process that I have ever seen, whether in game, fiction or real life. He is so outstanding, so remarkable, so spectacular, that I really have to question the standards of modern British upbringing and education! Hopefully, he is just an outlier and not the norm, or I will really fear for the country that I obtained my tertiary education from! :D

Anyone that dates an Aussie cant be that bad... SURELY.. :)

You and I have very different perceptions of relationships, Wilber. I firmly believe that if I am blessed enough to find a lady possessing a wonderful character, a kind personality, high intelligence, generosity and faithfulness, there is no way in hell I am letting her go. I was in a long distance relationship with my wife for almost 7 years, and in each year we were able to meet only twice or thrice per year. It was only a few years ago that we were able to get things settled on a more permanent and stable basis You do not let a jewel that is in the palm of your hands fall from your grasp. But that is me anyway.

I am neither important nor successful yet, at least not to the standards I aspire to. And my ambitions are more personal rather than social. But yes, you did leave a very deep impression on me. I very rarely meet any character comparable to you, even in mediums much bigger than this game and its forum,
 and you often serve as a very good foil and example to me and my loved ones :D

We also have very different perceptions of the "right timing" to enjoy life. I personally believe that life is to be enjoyed only once you have most of its security aspects down pat. I am a firm believer in the principle of delayed gratification. If I were in your position, I would be working and saving money. If I were single like you, I would be working TWO jobs. But alas, some people believe that that youth is the time best spent exploring the world while one is still young and healthy, so *shrug* another difference in principles.

I can very easily afford a top end gaming rig, but there are bigger games in life that I aspire to than ones played through a computer. Such games do not require expensive computer equipment. Most of my old gaming crew have reached early middle age like me and are busy with families and climbing up whatever ladders they are on. But hmmm.... maybe one of these days we will have a Starcraft: Brood War reunion....

I will not get a car for myself until certain financial ambitions of mine are met. It will probably take a couple of years. Wifey has suggested getting a personal driver in a couple of years time if we are able to generate enough passive income on a yearly basis as hiring one is quite cheap here in Hong Kong. We shall see on that.

Wife is a corporate lawyer.

I believe in smart frugality and smart money management. I would never skimp when it comes to nutrition for my wife and son, and I spend a fairly large chunk of money each year on books. I believe in long term investment for one's body, mind and soul. Money is of minimal object when it comes to that. And I would never feel monetarily troubled if either my loved ones or I ever happen to have a medical emergency.

I will definitely do a large bout of traveling in the future. That's my promise to the wife. But it will only take place once we are financially firm within my standards. That should be in about 14 years.

I look forward to welcoming you to Hong Kong or Malaysia if we ever have the chance :P

And on that note, will stop hijacking this thread for off-topic discussions. Apologies to Brashen.

See you in HK later in the year :)

or you could live somewhere that has a culture :p

youre a curry connosieur judging by your muffin shaped waistline. i bet you fit right in in america

@Bran: I think it is incredibly important to have some degree of financial freedom. If not full financial freedom, then at least some financial security. I do not mean depriving yourself completely of joys in life and working 7 days a week for the next 10 years, but not building up a nest egg while you are still young and able-bodied is.... a crime (in my eyes anyway :P)

@Bling: Drop me a message when you are coming here <3

@DLO: Wifey and I are thinking of getting a home in Bristol after most of our fundamental needs here are accounted for. It is, after all, the place where we met. And we both like Bristol - not too big and not too small either, just perfect size and location. We can afford a home there, but we are both averse to taking on debt, so we shall see how it goes.

@Bling and Bran: I love curries. I can make several South-East Asian, South Indian, North Indian and Japanese curries :P The healthy variety too :D

Why did my post get deleted rofl.

I get spammed with his snapchats almost everyday, if I'm ever in birdees I'll never get lost. seen every inch of that place.

Can he even do that? Travel to Australia on a tourist visa and work there? Isn't that illegal? :D Or is there something I am misunderstanding?!?!

If he wants to work his way around the globe and travel at the same time, why not do what Lewatha did? Join a global charity, actually contribute to the greater good of humanity, and still be able to visit different parts of the world properly (albeit also still on a budget of course)?

I doubt he was really mentally scarred and traumatised by Beo and me, LOL! Its just a freaking game, and I am some random dude he ran into on the interwebz. He did try to push his balls about though, and of course, such action tends to provoke push-back... especially from me :D

He's still got my ass kicked on one aspect of his life though. He probably has had many times more girlfriends than I ever had in my life till now (and will ever have) :D

I suppose that's the benefit of having the state back up your welfare. Where I come from, if you have two arms, two legs, all organs functioning, and a healthy rational mind, you go out and work and start saving money. Because if you don't, there is no safety net to catch you if you fall down.
