...puts neck onto chopping block and closes eyes
OK...all this talk about how bad EN are really seems grossly unfair to me personally
In Ialysos we fought EN for the duration of the server, initially we had to restart several times cos they were very strong...but we held our ground and we survived the daily onslaught of fly-by ls attacks and various other attacks by them
We lost cities and we took cities
They were, as here, much larger than other teams...but then considering how long they have played together as a team, that was really no surprise to us...one thing this game does do is give people the opportunity to make lasting and firm friends so seeing the same names come across to here again was no real surprise
We ended Ialysos a healthy 2nd to EN...yes they got the Wonders...but on a moral sense and a fighting sense we had a great time tussling with them...they treated us with respect and we treated them the same way...we frequently had a laugh with each other along the way too...and some within the team that I personally have had contact with in this server and Ialysos I am more than happy to call them friends
Now whether there is any truth in how much gold they use...frankly that is their business and no-one elses...if they stay online all night, well so do I more often than not...personal decision and should be respected as such
As a team they are to be admired and feared in equal measure....they have the perfect recipe to succeed
Rightly or wrongly I feel that its that very desire to succeed and play as a cohesive team that wins out on these servers, teams that are not cohesive and do not have a 100% desire to succeed are the ones that generally disrespect those teams who are cohesive
EN will likely win again...we at Invictus might not finish in second but we will be giving it a damned good try to stay in the top 10
The personal attacks, the accusations...they are not really necessary, sometimes these threads resemble kindergarten
We are all adults...we should all have the decency to respect each other regardless as to whether we are friend or foe
Afterall......this is but a game, pure and simple...and nothing to get one's thong in a twizzle over
Sticks and stones may break our bones but words will never hurt us...thats not always easy to accept since some of the words do bite very deeply....but respect where it is due Kron runs an extraordinary team of people who have a love of this frustrating and addictive game and if he and his team leaves you in their dust, well there really is no shame in that
It's a game...enjoy the fun and the challenge and the friendships formed....there is no need for nastiness just cos one team outshines the rest
C'est la vie
