CIA: What should be changed?

[*~Starry~*]

Well obviously, doesn't everyone know? The CoP and Omega are really just the same thing. And Omega is really only EtL. Not like any of the other members really matter. EtL runs the entire CoP, you see, he's the only member. All the other members are just out there in blighalhy land. If you get farmed by one Omegan, you can claim to the entire CoP farming you. EtL IS the CoP, gamemod, and admin.

Glad to see you're not bitter or anything. Acceptance is really the best action.

Totally, we all understand the truth now ...

1. Top player/s shouldn't ascend and run away when they could have done damage, leaving the weaker members to carry the burden.

2. Alliances that have been battered so thoroughly should surrender or they just might end up like the SLA. I point to alliances like the Foundation and NAOS here.

3. Stop collaborating with 'dodgy' ppl. lol

4. Stop acting cocky. The lot of you are getting ur behinds pasted. And unlike us, most of you will come out of this war worse off. The CoP are just hitting targets at random, at whim. Once we actually organise, run for the hills.

5. Stop coming on here posting your sad sob stories like 'EtL, I didn't know we were going to war, honest!" when you lot had a nice chunk in the bank...and still getting ur behinds pasted.

6. Hope this is the last thread that looks for motivations on both sides, cos ur bloody spamming my forum! lmao

Point 1. Robe made a very sound tactical decision for herself and our Alliance. By ascending she converted all her supers to Ascension Points as you and others prepared to attack her in Ascension. This also allowed her to fight the war using Mercs like you’re so fond of pointing out, as is your tactic. We are very happy with the move and those in The Foundation Supported her in it. Otherwise the Supers would of simply been lost quickly in the war. Our Alliance does not feel burdened by this decision.

Point 2. I must be dumb but I do not see how The Foundation has been battered? We lost our defenses sure, so has Omega, DDE, DD, D12 and Alpha if I can find them. I guess since we didn’t have such a high defense we should feel honored that they were removed. YOU’RE NOT GETTING US TO QUIT. You, ETL, threatened to mass us days earlier for taking Robe back. So basically you will have to accept us as an Alliance lead by Robe or continue to do the war you had planned on to get us to disband once again. We didn't plan this war but you did plan on hitting us, so I believe it was a sound tactical decision to join this battle even on short notice.

Point 3. No one likes Cheats. But I believe you have another personal Beef of yours we now know you are referring to.

Point 4. There are Cocky players on both sides, let them have their fun. Yes, you will organize and mass our defenses....

Point 5. I missed the sob stories and would not tolerate them either.

Point 6. Won’t be the last, but no motivation needed; it is a war game...

Can I just add that I was strike commander on Duty when Robe asked to ascend. Those Foundation members online at the time were consulted and the answer was "yes". Robe did not decide herself and if our members decided it was not in our best interest she would not have been allowed to ascend.

We intend to carry on business a usual with this game. That includes ascencions and any other movements we wish to do. We are in this war for the long run and funnily enough now that everyone is fairgame in CoP most TF members after the initial phase are now actually growing- what you going to do? Mass our defences sit on us for a while lol. We are profiting and some mass counterstrike on us is like meh who cares- lets just hit them back and take their nice naq stores.

What we have done is make the game more even- we are not scared of CoP, we have made sure all CoP members not on PPT have to set to Nox and Critical like the rest of us have to or we are there and taking your very nice incomes and wiping everything we can

Oh and as one Omegan has already stated on forums- only about 12 The Foundation members are fighting so when we get ourselves organised run for the hills CoP cause you are not the only ones just cruising Omega lol.

I have noticed something in this war and I have also been told this by friends on both sides and that is

"the players of today dont know how to wage war, and the older players have lost the carefactor to wage war"

So many people just dont care anymore, they play the game because it is a part of their routine, players who in the past would have gone to war and massed alliances due to being attacked just shrug their shoulders and move on without retribution.

Its a shame that more parts of peoples accounts cant be destroyed.

As for the original question by Alabrax, what can you do better?

1 - Try and motivate people to actually play and want to go to war
2 - Better information dispersal about targets stats so everyone, no matter what their rank/stats have targets
3 - Accountability, if someone isnt participating in the war, they dont deserve to be in the Alliance
4 - Motivation through examples, players posting their successes on forums gives real examples of what players are achieving and can motivate people
5 - PPT is king, use it wisely so when a player comes off ppt they have targets to mass, if your opponent is on ppt, dont copy him, sit in the open, make him break ppt then at the end of the week you have the advantage because he has used his MT.
6 - Always attack with suprise, never warn your opponent about an attack
7 - Hit hard, hit fast and leave no survivors

prety simple really, takes some effort, but the hardest one these days is no 1
