Seems like we're slowly beginning to see who the big dogs of early PC are. I mean when you think about it you know, we've seen a lot of trash talk, a lot of intimidation going on but the fact of the matter is that the numbers don't lie. The small dog barks, the big dog bites. Now that being said, I gotta congratulate you guys at STB for securing that whole planet and defending it. Now let's see you guys do it again and we'll see how long you're actually going to be holding on to that rock. |

Stb officialy best corp in dust watch out imperfects..... they are guuud. Well here's the thing, undead, and you might not like the STB dudes but they did defend the planet and if you think they're ****, well I'd suggest you go out there and conquer that planet. Now as far as Imperfects go, yeah they're a great tournament corp, but that's all they are. A tournament corp. Planetary Conquest is a whole another ballgame, man, and let's be real for a moment because I think STB holds 3 districts for every 1 the Imperfects have. Now let's be fair here, because they have some other corps in their alliance but that's not all that significant as their allies have ZERO districts combined. |

Well here is the thing "ric"..... what happens when stb faces synergy? Imps? Nyan san? Hellstorm? Pfb? SI? What happens when every district they controll is attacked? Lets say they win half. Cool. They just lost hundreds of millions of isk trying to defend districts they don't need, and provided a foothold for other corps to stage a continuous stream of battles lasting weeks. They will hemorrhage ISK. How do you keep districts without isk? As for the imps..... doubting their skill and obvious use and perfection of broken game mechanics is stupid, this conversation is stupid I bid you good day.
You ask me some great questions, bro, but I'm no Nostradamus so I guess we'll have to wait and see until your scenario becomes a reality. I was just stating the facts as they are at this moment and let me tell you something else, dude. I wasn't doubting anyone's skills either. |

All corps are prone to this Only ones with more districts then they can sustain. By your lack of rebuttal I take my victory in this discussion and bid you good day. Well first of all, bro, I think you're addressing the wrong person here. The second thing is I'm not trying to verbally spar here or achieve a victory by conversation, what you think I am? Cicero? Jesus Christ, Undead, loosen up a bit I was just stating a few facts for you about the current situation, dude. |

Dude you have no idea of the 'facts' our allies, our player base or the attitude toward winning. We have forces on the planet and over it 24 hours a day. If we were attacked by 10 corps at once hell we might lose a few, think we would let you have an easy time holding it? Not a chance. Theres alot easier places to go take some districts maybe try them first. You say 'loosen up' but it seems your the one to come nay saying, untangle your tighty whiteys and chill out bro, your gonna need it, your corps next. Hold on a second right there, Bravo, and let's all calm down just a little bit here. I think you made a little mistake because the above quote was actually me responding to Undead because he got all worked about my comments earlier. It's all just a big misunderstanding. |

DJINN leukoplast wrote:Just imagine if all the top US corps got together and formed an alliance.... Yeah, just think about that for a second. Euros be lucky we Americans like competition and diversity. Because if we were like you, one alliance would easily rule the rest, and we would have nobody to PC with. lol @ Euro corps who have to combine their entire country just to compete Alright, settle down, big man. First of all, bro, all the US corps would never be able to get along with each other to form one big alliance so let's stop this nonsense right here, alright? The second thing is, Leukoplast, that many of the European corps who come from same countries just prefer to play with each other because of the language. Simple as that. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. |

So I just came back from a couple of games of Dust and wanted to check the forums quickly before I'm gonna have a little barbecue with the dudes, man. And you guys can probably imagine the expression on my face with your mind's eye, when I found this thread invaded by the Internal Error dudes talking crap about the STB, man. I was amazed at first but then I thought about it for a moment and I guess it really does make sense when you think about it you know. I mean these are guys who hold zero districts and these are guys who take glory from the achievements of their alliance because their corp hasn't done anything. Ever. What's left? Well I guess talking crap is what's left.
I tell you what Internal Error and listen to me real carefully here. Instead of using all your energy talking crap in the forums, why don't you guys go out there and get a few districts for yourself? Why don't you man up, and not get all worked up about other people celebrating their success in a video game they enjoy? I mean my God, guys, just settle the **** down and get something done in game for Christ! |

Cool you got a bunch of land uncontested by default during the massive land grab. We waltz up into the heart of Cronos and only lose about 60 clones, while we slaughter 100+. IE has already proven it's more than capable of beating Cronos. We could have actually flipped the district today, but that wouldn't have been very fun now would it. Come back to me when you've got a district. |

We could have actually flipped the district today, but that wouldn't have been very fun now would it. :-) I'm not doubting your ground game I'm not stuiped however your overall strategy seems flawed. Also if u could take the land why didn't u? Unless you lack the numbers to take and hold anything else. In thr big pic NF are just an annoyance that the bigger players have to deal with. And going go by the rest of fourms that seems to be how people see Nf. You have the skill no doubt their but u lost the respect. That's exactly what I was thinking. We know that NF has some great players, no question about that. At the same time though, I think they're playing a very conservative game while talking crapload of ****. Now as far as Hellstorm goes, at least these guys have some districts and are playing a little bit more aggressive, while also talking crapload of ****. We all know that a lot of crap talkers are frontrunners who quit easily when things don't go their way so we'll see what happens to these guys in the long run. |

They DO HAVE good players, but that doesn't mean there all good. Besides we all know that the main imperfect corp is just 5 really talented players multiboxing five characters each. Well to be perfectly fair here, Imperfects is a good corp and they do hold 2 districts. Their allies though don't hold any districts at all. I mean none whatsoever. |

That makes no difference if your entire alliance can't stop the imperfects A team, you may hold more territory but they'll be like a bull in a China shop, wrecking the product you worked so hard to shelf. Well absolutely right man! I mean they're great gamers no doubt about it and they will most likely cause a lot of damage but at the same time I don't think they're gonna be able to destroy bigger corps simply because they don't have the manpower and resources. On top of that when they open up more systems for us to expand into, one A team will feel awfully insignificant for the dominating corps at that time if you see what I mean. |

SoTa ReGnUM PoP wrote: You keep speaking like this game is about conquest. It's not - and Imps have not designed themselves to be conquerers. We are Saiyans. We have teams that will go and take any district anyone wants us to take and that's that. If we wanted an empire more people would be needed - instead, we're an EVE or DUST players top choice on taking a district or planet. The bigger the Solar Map gets - the more opportunity for Imps there will be.
Fielding the top team in Dust is not insignificant. It's the possible difference between your campaign having a base to establish itself on or not, or the difference between your campaign getting stopped in it's tracks or not. Eventually Generation Packs will be sold less frequently as everyones ISK poors into these first conflicts. Around those times Imps power will really start showing, for every clone will start counting.
Well absolutely, man, and I agree 100%, bro. This game is about what you want it to be about and I've said it more times than I can remember: Imperfects have great players but they aren't gonna be a big player in terms of empire building, no big deal, you guys have chosen a different path and that's all well and dandy but at the same time, you guys would do well to relay that vision to all of the members of your alliance so I don't have to deal with their hissy fits constantly! |
