"War" Game

[Empy]

Well to put it most simply, I was just trying to say, people us the excuse "It's a Wargame" to much just to do whatever they want. Its a Wargame yes, but if people choose not to exercise random massings on small alliances just for a bigger ME, it does not make them noobs, or make their play style wrong.

The point of the game is not to make war, its to have fun. If having fun for one person means not massing anyone who farms them once, etc, then that's that.

Agreed 12ag... People choose to play the game as a war game, and try to force that mentality on everyone else who plays and use that excuse to get away with anything they want, assuming since its a "war" game, anythings fine... It is just a game after all though so in the end it doesn't matter. Just because someone doesn't particularly want to just go and mass random alliances to get high ME doesn't make their play style wrong... it means they wanna build stats and get a good account so that when they do have to go to war they can last more than 2 massing/rebuilds and not have to quit out right away. That's my opinion... Sorry if you disagree.

you can have stats yes, and a huge account, ok in theory you can win a war coz you have more resources but i can promise you that if REK, JMX, Tearjerker, Tokko or Easy (yes there are many more but these were the first that came to mind) were at 100m army and you were 300m army and you had a 1m UP when theirs was only 350k that coz they have war experience they would still wipe the with you, no matter how much you were to rebuild, and the point that they also know it is just numbers a pixels and nothing more, which is the best way at looking at the game.


If this were not a war game, why give us defense and attack weapons, soldiers and planets ? why not give us pruners and ribbon so we can cut roses, tie a nice little bow around them and give them to each other ?

we have attack and defense weapons there for it is a war game

if you stat build and get massed, mass back like du5t1n from Squad UK did when i massed him for xmas, he massed me for New Year (good work lol).

so stop whining and start massing, ME has nothing to do about massing it is just to keep track how much you do it (whats yours at TJ, tokko, easy and willie )

well to answer mines 250b and inside the top 10, tokkos is significantly higher than mine

its a mmorpg war based.. but the way it is now is too easy to just destroy almost anything and that keep people that have others game play style from enjoing the game and having fun

the two above highlighted statements seem to contradict in my mind....
if it doesnt matter in the end then why complain about it? heck, i even made a topic about it way back when, it didnt get me anywhere. suck it up, move on, or even better yet, learn to play like them so you have some fun too

[papa~smurf]

Oh 12aggy, not again.

"Yar!! I be a War Role Player, and their aint bugger all you can do about it mr daisy chain lover."

lol 12ag lol

maybe the people who just like to build stats should be allowed to ppt for ever

I have nothing to suck up since I am not complaining, it doesn't really matter to me if I get massed, I just rebuild and move on. I don't like the part about "Learn to play like them so you have some fun too". As I said before, maybe just massings tons of people all the time isn't everybody's idea of fun, and people who don't wanna do that aren't "Stat Builders" or aren't some other stereotype, or their play style isn't the noob way. It's fun for them.

no trouble with what u say, as long as u know, sooner or later, some one gonna try to knock down the house of cards

And Clarkey, If everyone is allowed to play the way they wish then this is not invalid, as Im not disagreeing that people can choose to role play war, Im disagreeing with the fact they think its a war game,.. (Like say Counter Strike, where the only objective is to War, i.e Shoot, you could run around jumping about but you'd never win the game's goal) SGW has no goals, thus isnt a war game.

Has no goals you say.

Use all means at your disposal -income, attack, defence, covert, ascension, politics, weaponry, motherships, planets, protection, alliances, commander&officers, etc, etc...
Be wary though, as thousands of others will be trying to conquer you!

Pointless thread.

Everyone has a right to play this game how they want. End of.

Yes but the more important point is that if stat builders want to play that way they shouldn't complain when "war mongerers" mass them..."war mongerers" are just using their own style of play...I don't care if people want to use all their income to build 150k UP planets with lousy defenses...but don't cry when I come along and take them...

"I didn't attack you...why have you stolen four of my 150k UP planets...whine"

Thanks

Thats just to get the ME loving USS buying nabs into the game. Its really about making daisy chains and pruning Roses.

Besides anyway, thats not a goal. Its a welcome speech. Wheres the if you do X you win goal, fact you can't win, this game has no goals other than those you make for yourself.

Be wary though, as thousands of others will be trying to conquer you! ???
Be wary though, as thousands of others will be trying to Annoy you! - Is more like it..

Hey, now , just because some people like to mass a lot doesn't make them any better at it, they may think they are but they're not really.
Some of us Daisy Chain makers can make swords out of them too.

Also it's still not a war game, you have att/def weps yes, but you also have uu and UP, does this mean its a sex game, oh no, XRATEDSGW, THIS GAME IS PORN!
