CoP: What should be changed?

[Hansbrough]

tax i wouldnt say that about you lol when i needed help with something. i just had to ask once and you where there.

SHHH! I have a reputation to maintain! No one can now I'm a nice guy!

rofl. guys i think one of the main problems is just sum the smaller players u have in ur alliances e.g. alpha etc (and sum COP officers) can act pretty arrogant and try to bully/threaten other bigger players because they know they are protected by u guys. Im talking about guys who wouldnt dream of saying sum of the things they say without that protection, mainly because they would have their butts handed to em. I mean u att one guy and suddenly ur threatened with being massed and having ur alliance massed as well. its just dumb and not the way the game should be played. I mean wat kind of n00b warrior gets attacked once and tries to drag an entire alliance into war just because of a simple one off naq hit? and thats wat ive found has happened with sum of ur officers and really it doesnt do u guys any good by that happening, just reinforces sum of the ideas out there regarding the dislike of COP.

I make this challenge to all of sgw, when this war is over, and you do have annoying smaller members threaten you AND you feel they're hiding behind the alpha/cop tag tell someone in cop (cop commanders) -- tell me even. There's one thing that most larger members of cop can't stand, and that's people hiding behind the tag. If you're in cop you've proven that you can carry your own in a battle, however, sometimes people slip through the cracks.

A fair comprise. That should solve alot of the issues the rest of us are having with those types of players. Cheers mate.

cant you see, cop? the only ones who like cop are yourselves and your OSLA slaves, no1 else, why not trying to disband it? sgw would be better without any coalitions, stood only on peace treaties and NAPs. you messed up sgw, its not how it used to be, we loved this game, and now everyone who would like to keep some stats should join you, thats the only option. alot of old, respectful and honourable players are quitting sgw just because of you and will be if we dont change this.

Buddy we are no ones slave we ACT on our own ! We have our own goals . And no one makes anyone quit. Theres not a person in this game that can make me quit. Can they make me angry yes Im sure deep down everyone in cop doesn't want anyone to quit. Not one person from cop has ever asked us for some resorces. So I dont see how WE The Omega System Lords are anyones slaves.

Hmm so has this post established wat it was set out to acheive (in the title) or have the posts just served to alienate more ppl? Kinda lost on this.

Personally I don't have any problems with members of CoP. Nor do I have a problem with the alliances in CoP in general. But I do not understand why you guys need to be joined at the hip on everything.

You guys are known as those keen for a war at the drop of a hat. But how can you be so keen for a fight when you are up against some lowly alliance. The reason why you guys are up against a less powerful alliance is purely because you guys have full military pacts with those who could offer you a challenge.

Which leads me to my next point. Protection. The current CoP arrangement is all about protection. Sure you guys have mates in DD, Alpha, DDE or whoever. But you don't need to have full military pacts to be mates. If you do, then they arent really your friends, rather just being opportunistic.

The lack of opposition has had some nasty side effects. Certain CoP members have become frustrated, and are taking it out on others, generally those who can't defend themselves. This leads to complaints of bullying etc and people then say CoP are evil. I'd say it was more like they are frustrated.

Also the M.A.D policy of DD and other spinoffs throughout CoP are silly. For warmongers I would have thought you would've liked having conflict. It also doesn't help you guys either. It shelters those who are just there for protection, and no matter how air tight your recruitment drive is, you are still going to get bad eggs in. Say a weaker member of DD or Omega gets hit. They complain back to their alliance and get someone else to do their dirty work for them, and they learn nothing and get no massing/war experience. And when you do enter a conflict, they run for cover. I would rather have 20 medium strength guys than 50 extremely powerful guys with 12 cowards. I think that goes for all alliances really.

So basically, you don't need to have these pacts fellas. I am more than certain that you guys can stand on your own two feet.

If I was in charge of CoP (drools at the thought of the mass mayhem on main that would ensue) I would simply have No Attack Policies or equivalent throughout the CoP alliances. If someone hits you, hit them back, but don't mass them thats just silly. Thats like a hostage situation which is resolved by the police nuking the house.

Sure, still be mates, have convos on msn and keep the communication lines open, but you don't need to be joined together.

Also the M.A.D policies have to go. If someone hits you for naq, steal their naq and let it go. It either means your defense is too low for that amount of naq or they were very very desperate. Either way hit them, back send a message saying don't do that again POLITELY none of this "I will sit on you like a sumo on a chiwauwau".

If war breaks out and you want in sure help them out, the same way as the CIA alliances did, but probably on a smaller scale.

Honestly, I think you guys would enjoy it more, and you wouldn't have to fight alliances on the second page.

thisp ost really made me laugh, espeically the part about the MAD policy being silly or have to go. why? what alliance wouldnt strike back for hitting AFTER a warning has been issued? DD has to ask permission to mass a def or ms, which is not particularly easy to get. there has to be a reason for it. DD has never and will never go on random massings, its against our laws. people who do that (nobody that i can remember ever has) would be in serious trouble for doing so.

i cant beleive ir ead all 10 pages :/

Suck up

shhhh, dont tell anyone

when do i get that payment you promised me?

*is sick to death of reading about how bad CoP/omega are*

But we are sooooo bad that it just has to be said... can't be said often enough really...

ok, is sick to death of reading about how bad 99.999% of CoP/omega members are...

Geisha...bad to the bone

My true opinion: disband

Omega is an alliance capable of taking care of itself

Same is definitely true for Dirty Dozen

Also is a given for Dark Dominium

So they don't need to be there, holding each other hands.

If you wanna set rules for farming do that, you just don't need to make yourself flat out un touchable, that takes the fun out of the game.

when this war is over.....there will be no cop

[Inferno™]

Disband? Keep dreaming girls.

[Myseri]

didn't say it was a dream of mine, just said what I thought should happen

[Inferno™]

didn't say it was a dream of mine, just said what I thought should happen

kk. It wont ever happen though, just the state that

[InTuItIoN]

Disband? Keep dreaming girls.

ah! Triple H...Inferno sounds better though

We're not dreaming and your leaving along with several other cop members who can't take to the new changes ingame

I suppose the deal is your account remains in DD just like the Genlucky account has

[Mordack]

The only thing which annoys me about COP are some of the "hangers on", who seem only to have joined their respective alliances for the "protection" offered, and the ability to throw the COP card in people's faces when it suits them. I've found the vast majority of people in COP to be mature and decent, with just a few bad apples who irritate me.

I don't mean to cause offense to either side, just responding to Taxo's question.
