I wanted to tip my hat to the hugs group. Well done. I will not complain of gold or bully stuff like I have read over in the other posts. Nope, you all had a game plan and executed it nicely. I am player who gives credit where it is due.
Though in fairness to your long list of victims, there has been no real defense coordination to stop you. Not taking away from the relentless attacks, but again most of the cities you have taken have been walk in's. I was absolutely out of my mind that several alliances could not come together and present a defensive fight. SMH folks would rather quit then lose a few cities.
From the beginning this server has been lop sided, first POM then GH/HB. I figured it would work itself out over time. Little did I know when myself and Achilles ghosted to not be apart of any shady deals, that the server would turn upside down the way it did. That is the moment all hell broke lose and GH took full advantage. I agree with the way they pounced on everybody. Any real war general would give a nod of approval with the way they reacted, after all it is a game of war.
The politics is a completely different beast. I must say I was truly disappointed in the way some things were handled. But I get it. It is all for a crown right? Well I myself enjoy playing for a crown but it means more to me to be a man of honor then to be a crown winner. I always say up front, I come for war. I have made friends on all sides of the battle field, and what I have learned the most is that selective few truly understand this game. With out the right type of players backing you, it is a tough game to play. But to have the backing of the number 1 alliance and number 2 alliance and still make a outside group to create 4 alliances, well that can only be bad for the server in general. That is unless they are planning to make a run at the crown themselves, cause 4 vs 1 seems a bit over kill.
Drought is what I call it. Cause when the food runs out, and make no mistake with the way all the top players of the non hug faction are ghosting and hitting vm to quit, the food is going to run out quickly. Sure I can turtle up what players are left and have them try to endure, crown is long gone so why bother continuing right? Well that is the question I ask myself and the others. I suppose I am just eager to watch justice come about. Not sure when it will happen, but I trust the right people will eventually see the food source with in those alliances once the drought is felt by the top killers. Then we can see the true skills of those outsiders making quick cities and handing them off over and over and over again lol. I mean it is smart in a way if you plan on turning on your pact at some point. why else would you need to do that? I get the lts system, but again if your backed by the number 1 and number 2 alliance, why the need for lts? So I will wait and watch even if it is from the rim I will wait and watch the fun unfold. I never try to be clever, I am to much of a hillbilly for arrogance and cleverness, but I am no fool, you simply cant keep a pack of hungry dogs in a yard together with out them turning on each other when they get hungry.
And once again congrats hugs on the outstanding job, maybe next time you will get an enemy that can actually cooperate and communicate to fight back...then again, with the kind of talent that is showing up...perhaps not lol.
