And NF will have no eve support whatsoever because you just pissed off the only alliance that gives a damn about dust. Have fun with that, I hope the short term bribe was worth it.

As for this whole week, a lot of things happened. Our FC is dealing with very serious RL stuff. Our tankers are all doing whatever the hell they want, so the grand domino effect has led to incredibly one-sided engagements that aren't even worth fielding. The servers have been working like ass, and are elevating certain individuals strafe-based tactics to a much higher tier than they are normally worth.

It's not over, but some re-organization is definitely happening.

That's unfortunate and best of luck to him.

As for your organization as a whole, It is not wise to leave your fate up to one person. You need multiple people that are able to step in and fill leadership roles at any given time. Maybe not as good as your number 1 guy, but you still need some sort of an organizational chart.

You need multiple people that are able to step in and fill leadership roles at any given time. Maybe not as good as your number 1 guy, but you still need some sort of an organizational chart. There are people who can do exactly that, but in this case it is irrelevant. Leadership can be winged, it just creates an additional difficulty. There is also the tanker problem. You either have tankers online that can hang with the best, or you don't. The dominance of a high-level battle depends entirely on how good your tankers are. If you are winning the tank fight, you can call in assault dropships to the city without them getting shot down immediately. If you can run ADS, you can knock people off of the high ground and destroy uplinks that are otherwise unreachable. If you can do that, you can push the enemy out of the city. If you CANT do that, then the enemy can, and YOU will be pushed out of the city and lose the fight. the final nail in the coffin is total tank domination which allows one team to use a blaster in the city for additional pressure, effectively ending the fight. Everything begins and ends with your tankers being better than the enemy tankers, and having just as many if not more. If you can't meet that requirement then the battle was over before it started. In our case, the tankers haven't been around lately, so the requirement has not been met.

Please tell me more. Meh...I guess maybe friday night is pub night for the non no-lifers? I guess Saturday morning is when the Tso No-lifers are supposed to come out. I'm sorry your mass attack on Nyain San didn't work out as planned. Pros and Cons of Kane's glorious plan. Pros +Get some money that doesn't have any impact on current political, social, or military standings of NF. Cons -Lose EVE support permanently -Lose all Dust allies -Hurt reputation -Ensure that at any given time after this engagement you will be fighting a war on 2 fronts, which you will not not be able to field multiple teams for. Congratulations, you just lost Dust. Can I have your stuff?

Sorry for your friends RL situation, hope it gets better and he can return to Dust in a timely manner. with regards to Dust/Eve..LuLz.. I do understand being at a disadvantage, but just no-showing? I thought you guys had more pride than that. Kudos to the one guy who showed up and dropped an OB..was funny. Also to the other guy who showed up and got 2 kills while running solo. Also, you guys have only one FC over there? So the old saying, "the circus doesn't stop because one monkey ran away" doesn't mean anything there it seems. One-trick pony. The Eve guy posting here. LOL..he really, really, believes he is relevant it seems. No wonder Kane ditched him. I can just imagine what his ego must be like in-game.[/quote] I refuse to tell anyone to lose money on a fight that has been pre-determined due to lack of competent tankers, even with a number of armchair FC's. There is pride and there is practicality. When you force people to fight a losing battle, the individuals are the ones who suffer monetarily and take the morale hit. I'm not subjugating anyone to that BS.

Himiko Kuronaga Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 3275	Posted - 2014.03.16 00:27:00 - [7] - Quote Pretty obvious meta to try and get RND because you couldn't get FA, despite months of flirting. You're looking for anyone who's competent because FA will have no part in NF, and because the moment RA turns on you you're going to have your back to the wall under a flood of clone attacks you will never be able to squeeze any attacks out from. Face it, you cornered yourself from your greed and now you're boned. RA can, and will, turn on you. And we're not going to help you out when they do. You're done. Turn in your clown nose and squeeky shoes, you're fired.

If you saw anything more then an opinion from Crimson then it goes to show how sensitive FA is over RND's relationship with NF. Alright guys, don't compliment RND anymore. It's considered 'meta' now. Lol I control the sending of applications. You need to learn to lie better.

Lol I control the sending of applications. You need to learn to lie better. So then you deny FA ever made any application or moves to join NF? I can't go into my Skype right now and pull up logs with Z asking to join NF, urging me to push for it to happen, and discussing it with me, kane, and cubs? Sounds like someones is lying alright, but it isn't me or you. No, it'd be you. The statement made by you was that application(s) were being rejected. No application was ever sent, however. That is called a lie. This is because it had been discussed briefly, and shut down. Because it was a bad idea. Your alliance offers absolutely nothing that we cannot get from other sources. Public Disorder, and then General Tso's offered a unique relationship with a unique advantage over any other alliance on the field. We made the right call on that. Now understanding that I am in a position to debunk your claim of applications being sent and rejected, you have changed your argument to "Well Zatara talked about it with us for a while" which is a lot different from us being ready to jump on board and had already applied. It never got that to that stage. And finally, you are attempting to shift blame to Zatara with this mis-direction in an attempt to brew feelings of distrust within the organization. I don't really enjoy this kind of meta. Most of it is incredibly transparent and boring. Particularly if you're going to be bad at it.

It's a simple ask and you will receive. Zatara asked, he did not receive. That's as good as an application as you can get. You can deny this point all you want, changes no facts. FA pursued entrance into NF and was told, very simply, no. Enjoy spinning that however you want. I'm sorry your rank didn't come into play like you wanted it too. But please refrain from calling me a liar when you're simply just a misinformed fool. There is a system to apply for any alliance. It is the same exact system for any alliance. Applications are an actual in-game thing. Don't tell me I'm a fool when you don't even understand how game mechanics work. And don't tell me you rejected an application when you weren't even aware of its existence.

The playstyle they used was only effective for the time. The mistake people make is bloating the legend up to be something far different than what the reality was. Heimdallr, perhaps if you were capable of doing anything other than living in the past this wouldn't make you so entirely butthurt to accept.

Here's a fact: If we're talking about a team that cannot adapt FA is the perfect example. I've never seen a group of dedicated FOTMers like FA has. Everything from 4 tanks in each PC - to RE spammers on cat walks, to each roof having an RR. "But AE does it first!" Exactly, you're just FOTM followers. If you tried to develop your own counters like Imps did or current NF does you'd fall face flat. You're in no position to judge another corps adaptability when your own is just a bandwagoner from superior corps. Are you attempting to convince me that Imps did anything original other than simply shoot better?

I mean we're nearly slaughtering 200 clones per game on average. I think only Nyain San is more reckless than that. By the way, how are they doing? I hear they are having some Latino troubles
Himiko Kuronaga Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 3332	Posted - 2014.03.20 06:26:00 - [17] - Quote Oh I've been keeping track. Less clones are lost in battles against AE, more clones are lost against NF. Against NF, there is always an extreme loss of clones. It's been rising on almost every engagement too.
Himiko Kuronaga Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 3332	Posted - 2014.03.20 06:45:00 - [18] - Quote I'm not one for fancy formulas, but I can give you an idea... up until this week AE matches used to float around 140 clones lost on FA side, 160+ lost AE side. As seen tonight and the last couple days, thats been rising. For NF, its a more extreme average. When you put that many heavies into a match, you're destined to meat grind. Whether its your side or theirs, someone is going to die. There is no disengagement happening in a heavy versus heavy thunderdome. NF loves to spam heavies, to which the counter is more heavies. It's destined bloodshed.
