The Native People has won 0 battles, captured 0 cities and killed a total of 258 men and women.

Natives are obviously using hacks again.

We challenge you all to a farm off!

14 days since it started according to "worlds" window.

I want to get past Grand Duchy's blocker so bad.

I take that back, I'm ready to go VU comatose again :)

Like I care what you think Hanky (isn't it) ?

lol the irony of that is not lost on me :p

Of course Barny, you will be the most fearsome. By doing that slave-feeding you guys are doing.

Another era cut short by Hex or will they do the right thing?

That wouldn't justify it. Feeding inactives to a powerful player, using an exploit to make every spell you cast cost nothing, hiding multis in enemy kingdoms to backstab them, ect. are all things that would help your kingdom to win. They are also all things that are completely unacceptable. While I acknowledge that you are a good player Anonymous, your kingdom on Mantrax and you as a player frequently engage in grey-zone, low moral tactics, and I feel like that has something to do with your attempts to justify such play.

I suppose a lot of this comes to down to what exactly slave feeding really is. One era in EVUL an enemy player plundered our STGer of hundreds of millions of resources, ensuring that we would almost certainly lose an ongoing OOP war. Luckily I had been successful elsewhere on the map and was able to acquire a lot of resources, land, and slaves. I sold a large amount of slaves at a high price, and players in EVUL that did not by any means need them all purchased the slaves so that I would be able to produce an army to compete with the enemy that got a good plunder of our STGer. That isn't slave feeding, THAT is teamwork. I may have lost all of my land and had a worse era than I could have had, but everyone in EVUL made sacrifices and it led to us winning an era.

Slave feeding would be if Player A sells slaves for X+100 gold, and Player B buys the slaves and then sells them back to Player A ad infinitum. It's a pretty lame way to feed, but it isn't as bad as other grey zone tactics. 

I think that Dark Side can win the era because we aren't in nearly as bad a position as it seems. We got a terrible starting position and made some strategical/political mistakes, but we are still in what I feel is a favorable position.

In 20 days, Relentless will have fallen and Dark Side will have a few more superpowered players because of it. 

Without saying too much, I would be in a position to directly threaten MAD in a very significant way.

Hex will have completely eradicated all kingdoms on the SE end of the map, but they will not affect Dark Side for a long time due to the difficulty of attacking a well defended enemy across long, empty distances on Fantasia in the super-late period of an era.

MAD will still control the NW corner of the map, and they will still be trying to attack Dark Side across a small, semi-occupied space. The only catch-all to that would be if MAD is able to produce a superpowered player. Due to the fact that a good portion of MAD has farmed since the onset of the era, they may have some powerful players (like yourself, as you claim), but none of the same level as a player who has acquired great amounts of land and plunder through war. If you are able to topple Dark Side, then by all means be a credit to your kingdom and do so. MAD is a kingdom that had been around for a very long time and they have always had a decent level of honor and decent players, but they have a huge amount of non-contributing players. MAD's power % means nothing because most of it's contributing players have already tried and failed to seize upon what seemed like a good opportunity to attack us.

Also, EVUL/Dark Side has won the last 3 eras because we are the best kingdom on Fantasia with the best players on Fantasia, not because we had good starting positions. Starting positions are dictated by a number of easily controllable factors anyways.

Hey now, I try to make short version! I would imagine that the visual appearance of a long post comes from the way in which I quote other posts and posted 70,000 characters worth of news. But hey, the fact that you mention character limits in posts leads me to believe that you read my short essay, so I am happy!

Puppy I aint hating on on HIM I'm hating having to read his 18391827398127 character posts. I feel like I HAVE to read them to know whats going on :L

Lol DS has no ground to stand on in my opinion when it comes to saying what goes on in it or other kingdoms. I am not saying its a bad kingdom in anyway I am just saying it just another kingdom that changes its name when its convenient. In this game of endless war your name is all you have.

Sure playing under a different name is nice but when you change your name you lose all your creditability. If you cannot take the hate you do not deserve the praise.....

Your a d@mn good player barny in the way you go about things, but your not right in everything that you say and do. I am the same way and there is nothing wrong with that. If someone like you and me joined forces I know for a fact would be unstoppable but like RL people like us never can seem to work for the same cause or see eye to eye for that matter.

Also its crazy funny on how I can say some simple things and make you spend your time writing posts like you always do. Thats the main reason why I say we would be unstoppable lol. The best ideas and point of views comes from crap like this :)

Just calling like it is and you know I am right when I say that.

You of all people knows a player like us plays our hand when it can be the most effective when its in our power. Its just like how Binh won the last age its the same way the I will aim to win this one. I plan to use that same tactic against DS for using  MAD as a shield for the last two ages. I am not saying that as a vice/member of MAD, I just saying it as I see it as a player who knows whats happening and how it happened..........

I have time to debate with you Barny so feel free to say what you want and we will continue our little dance. I like debating with someone who is no different than myself ^_^

lol thats true Barny does say and talk about some interesting things sometimes ^_^

He's a valued VU player in my opinion, so I don't mind spending my valuable time reading and responding to his posts time to time.

Dark Side has changed it's name one time, largely due to a significant change in our roster and the adoption of a solid black banned for it's tactical value (I seriously love that fucking banner, it's functionally useful). Changing names doesn't really matter, nor does it detract from the "ground we stand on". If anything your lack of morals and sense of what is appropriate to do in-game detracts from your credibility in arguments regarding the subject. I know that you always operate in the best interest of your kingdom, but that is usually at the expense of the game and the community surrounding it.

Im back from a three day inactivity. :D

Im in a powerful state already. But not in a extreme superlative state. :)

Actually Aloy tends to stay away from the forums unless shit is going down with MaD. It's usually the same people saying it. The people that use to play when there was 20 comments in a tick are the ones more who say it but not all of them like Aloy xD

I swear, this guy has got to be my biggest fan or something. First he drains a whole 3 million gold worth of sciences (Level 6 Military, probably cost him 30 million to drain it) and now he tries 5 times to EQ a 90k that is full of MU.

I've done it to others on other worlds, but the fact of the matter is that he just tried to cast EQ on a city with 50k MU 5 times in a row (I kept MU here to try to deter Steal Science/EQ)! On unprotected cities it's not even too expensive, but on cities with a good amount of MU it is extremely costly. That and a Steal Sciences earlier means that this guy is pretty much diverting all of his resources towards doing annoying little things like this to me, which is just kind of a pain in the ass :(

Who is at war with Grand Duchy?
