Recently, The Union is in a fight for control over Island 529230 against The Silence and Wolfknives. This is just a thread to discuss that and liven up the Eta forums I wish not to die.

My input: So far, the main target is Matthews, which ionic is holding with no problem. About 20 inbound attacks at one point. I will keep everyone updated(;

The Union sent two attacks at Magopolis, which was recently taken by BayouBrit, both were unsuccessful. Interesting to see what will happen. :)

And Tyler, I will mention no names of attackers from your alliance to not tarnish anyones reputation. I hope you do the same. I like the idea of keeping Eta informed but I don't want this thread to turn into a flaming war and it to bully or hurt the self esteem of a player. :D And I don't know if even you can prevent these forums from dying, I would like to see it active but plenty of players will quit this world because of the speed, thus making this forum inactive.

I will do my best to counter that. Anyway, yes, I will mention no names. Just keeping the situation updated on the externals while promoting some activity!

I understand I am double posting, but people should know that I am posting with an update. I apologize in advance:
Ionic has been hit with five attacks so far. This is such a poor showing for it. All have been LS's and the first 3 hit nothing. The last 2 were of 5 LS each and hit biremes...10 less LS haha as I said, so far, a rather poor showing. Maybe The Silence and Wolfknives think a lot of small attacks can help...but so far...not really(;

A third update for my huge audience haha The Silence have been hammering away, still not breaking through. We have had about 10-15 attacks land so far. Most have been LS and all unsuccessful. The funniest was an unescorted assault via the sea:

yes, no flaming? LOL
I've seen Union attacks without escorts too and also defensive troops sent on attacks.
Guys, we all know this is a server with a whole lot of new players (including me). It's actually amusing seeing some of the more experienced players smugly commenting on noob mistakes. Well guess what? That's called gaining experience. You guys who have the experience would do better passing it on to others rather than smugly dissing peeps for making the same mistakes you made when you started this game. Human nature is not to share knowledge because knowledge is power. Yes, in our basest form. For those players who love this game but are inexperienced and growing, you will never be judged or ridiculed by me or my alliance. Come find a home with us where you will not only be respected, but learn, and eventually win this server!!

I know this is a double post too but also to update.......
besides the attacks mentioned above we also had some incoming that were defeated.
although there's been lots of fighting already I would guess most of it is overmatched players being beaten down and having their cities taken. This conflict involves alliances that will not be beaten down. Thus, it's one of the first conflicts between large alliances over an island and I'd like to say thank you to Tyler for creating the thread. Let's have fun killing each others troops and sinking ships :)

1. I meant no personal flaming. I simply meant to point out something about the alliance as a whole. Yes, we all make mistakes, but that is not what this is about. It is about the fight for the island and The Silences inability to take it thus far.
2. The Union respects new players. Just like almost all other alliances. I would never decline a player for making mistakes and being new. I will however decline a player that repeats these mistakes multiple times. Once again, I think we can agree if you do not learn the first few times, when will you?(;
3. All alliances have their breaking point. ALL of them:) We will see who's is first(;

Tyler, I really like your approach on these things but let me point out a different perspective.......
You say it's about The Silence inability to take the island. LOL How about The Union inability to take the island?
Come on, really now....... You took two cities there quickly from players who had quit and didn't inform us. Hardly a great military victory. We have several other cities on the island. I'd describe this battle more as our kicking you off this island you so rudely forced yourself on. I haven't seen The Union take a single city that was owned by an active player supported by his alliance.

So just to give a balanced view on these forum boards (which by the way I just love) The Union is struggling as much as any other alliance when they come up against a well organized defense with support. I suspect this game is heavily slanted in favor of the defender. In this respect we are all equals. The Union have been unable to take the island while we were sleeping (players quitting without telling us) and now we have awakened you are under heavy attack but holding so far. Can you see this?

This statement seems to be obvious though...

Who's fault is it that active players were taken out of the silence? Because they didn't get support? Well why is this? (sarcasm!!)

Anyway, I see your point, but this just isn't our objective. Ionic and I felt the need to move north and we did. I founded a city for the heroic tactition award (I could have easily taken one of TS's cities up there for more points). We do not wish to conquer a TS city there and we have not tried. Don't tell me we are on equal footing because we have achieved our goals and you guys have not. Matthew (the city) is pretty much untouchable right now haha.

I guess you could feel safe if that were the only city you guys have huh? LOLOL

Yea...TU's city count is like twice what The Silence has. Sure though, it's our only city.
