Re: End of Round Awards
Alliance of the round : My humble opinion is that all 3 top allies sucked in a diferent way, so i'd go with DW since they where the only alliance to start public this round. (Reasons: Enigma's activity and dedication was very low, Inter played for a diplomatic valuation win all round even if they have many old players for which imo winning by sweet talks it's nothing worth to brag about anymore. Just last couple weeks since Enigma turned against them they show they have what it takes to be on top, but it's a bit late in the round and they have large military advantage so nothing extrordinary. I'm sure others can point out why Pestif sucked so i won't coment here
Best offensive alliance:
Well i started about 25 days late so i can't comment before that, but from what i saw Pestif was the only one having the balls to do 1:1 attacks on other top alliances and they had moderate success vs Enigma. None of the other 2 did succesfull attacks against us (if you exclude the Inter retal when we where full out on them
), + we gained acres fastest from all 3
A bit more teamwork in attacks.
Best defensive alliance: No ideea really
Best Leader: Dunno
Worst Leader: Might get into trouble if i post this so early
But i'll do it anyway. I think that Podunk doesn't have what it takes to lead a top alliance, i saw he but his personal anthipathy against Cheese, Silence and a few others before the fun of his own members. Imo a Leader of a top alliance where players are active and dedicated and expecting a bit more than 1-2 random BR's every couple days should have a better feeling of their needs and make some extra efforts to make their round under his leadership a memorable one. He finally decided to step out from Inter's protection and have a more exciting round end but from what i heard he was convinced to do so.
Allied player of the round: Because i like more killing than growing i won't give extra points to those that wanted high valuation and got it
So i'd say cityguy was imo the best killing player inside an alliance.
Solo player of the round: Didn't looked much over the solo's tbh, only noticed the few solo poms i kept an eye over and Martin. So can't really give an award here.
Least impressive players: I'll only post those that i had higher expectations and their performance was weak during the round.
Cheese - Once he restarted to join the alliance i thought he'll pwn in no time. Silly bugger was getting stoned each night and getting killed on SAS
Also the moaning for his land was quite irritating
<3
Silence - Very rude in some ocasions to other players
And seems unless he is in vacantion he can't put that much activity and dedication
(however when he has time for it he has a lot of skill to offer
)
Drakonius - He put alot of activity and skill into a solo pom account just to refresh and evacuate from biker rushes. Didn't saw him doing any attacks in 1month+. Such a waste
JJ - Aparently he is only good at the round start but as i joined late i missed that part. From day 25 --> Useless
Zeratul - Heard he was fearsome before but only saw a player bored of the game with nothing impressive to offer.
Also those who left their former alliance who feed them like babies from start of the round just to find protection in a better ranked alliance gave me a bad taste.
I might add a few later
Most impressed by:
I'll post a few players i didn't knew much about before but they surprised me well.
Our Aussies are a great bunch: Drew, Enigma and Stass.
Hero and Signer good dedication and activity.
Bami - our trustable SO defence
CG - Sorry to say it but before this round i had the old image of you - the guy hoarding acres and seeds and relying fully on the alliance to save your butt and give you a good score at end of round. And for some reason others gave you alot of credit for that
However this round his "ranger rushes" made alot of victims and changed my image of him alot.
Best foe: Lordie. He was the only guy trying to do something when we had a war with Enigma and even if he had no success it didn't stop him trying again and again for about a week. Also he's good sport and up for a fight
Best moments:
My internet died with 3 rushes on Inter (2 fakes and 1 real). I was so sure i'll end up killed and with some crap 15-20% injury that i was already determined to go into deletion as soon as internet comes back. When internet came back i noticed my real rush killed for 3 ticks and all my army got home unscratched
Other moment:
<Luthai> Hey DS
<Luthai> u there?
<DarkSider> yes
<Luthai> is Silence female?
<DarkSider> LMFAO
<DarkSider> he is a 17 yo boy
<Luthai> ooh ok lol
<Luthai> i just saw couple times someone talking to him with 'she'
And one more:

<Maxi-> You cannot kill that which has no life..
Oh and one more guy threatening me with a bounty on my head that he will come to colect reminded me of some good old times
