More precisely, it only shows countries from previous rounds. So you won't have that restarting problem.

Tourney works a little bit differently, because players tend to have the same country name from round to round. It show only shows countries with country names that currently aren't being used.

Dragonlance they can't. Only you can. For example you can look at my profile (I'm 6th in alliance NW all time for easy way to get there).

I agree they don't make this very clear however...

It was just an experiment, a bit of fun on the side, and most of the people involved have learned from their mistakes because of me. And if I'm not allowed to take a break from netting and try something different every now and then, then what's the point of playing at all?

Ahh, yes, your alliance is the Great Warrior. You really taught those stupid netters a lesson! Those who were trying to get the top networth to help their alliance get a TNW/ANW crown got killed by a bunch of gronk idiots who also happen to be "SOL".

Good work, buddy.


See, I can do it too! But unlike yourself, I've killed 24 countries in a single reset, most of them single-handedly. And hey, nobody can blame me if those countries trying to get FA had stayed in protection and waited until they had FA lined up before coming OOP, right? Something so simple that would have most definitely helped their country to last longer.

On another note, I've noticed certain people using my status as a 'Developer' as a means to try to troll me, and if I remember correctly, at least one person has been banned for that very recently. I can appreciate the issue that's at stake here, but please don't try to use my position in the grand scheme of things as if it has anything to do with what's happened, k?

NukEvil: I was calling you lame because you have access to alphaFFA where you could easily test kill strategies on your own. Playing untagged and killing other untagged countries is lame. As for you killing SOF countries, I was completely unaware. Untaggeds participating in kill runs is common place as people forget to tag up. I could care less and I am sure any other tag at war felt the same way.

Slagpit: I've beaten you when we netted. I have won EC. Why don't you shove your lame comments up your pie hole. We don't need SOL to FS anyone to win top ten spots. Come to think of it, hasn't SMz won EC also?

You're the one making the connection here, when there really is no connection at all. And since you seem insistent on doing so while being derogatory about it, I think I'll give you a small time-out. I do see what point you're trying to make, but you know that you could have made it without being so derogatory about it.

Testing kill strategies in a test environment is great and all, but doing so is not a reliable measure of how other, real, players will react to me. I could have created 16 countries and just kept killing them over and over again, but nothing would have been learned from it. Besides, I'm not a game admin, so while I may have access to alphaFFA, I really don't know, nor could I care, how to just instantly create countries in that server to my specifications.

And while you claim that you 'could care less', you sure do seem to post a lot about it. Just saying.

I don't see any trashy comments coming from myself. I may be biased about that, but you have to admit that I've made sure not to unnecessarily nor directly call other posters derogatory names in this thread, unlike others. I have attempted, to the best of my ability, to stay professional, despite others' inability to do so.

And while I do admit that some of my posts have seem geared towards 'stroking my ego' so to speak, you really have to notice that things only went downhill when others called me out on it, WHILE connecting it to my position as a developer. If the 'Developer' stuff had been left out, it would have been just another troll-fest, hijacking yet another perfectly-good thread.

As such, this will be my last post about that particular issue. If I remember correctly, the topic of this thread had something to do with NA FSing SoF. Go NA. And SoF.

I'm sure you are knowledgeable about your fellow clanmate's abilities, but what about mine? You don't know anything about how I play (unless you've been hiding in EVO under an alias for a year), so how can you make such a guarantee? Faith is not a guarantee.

For example, I wouldn't make any kind of guarantee that I would finish with more NW than you next set, if SoF netted. I don't know anything your style of play or what you're capable of.

All these comments about slagpit from some SoF clowns are ridiculous.

He does run joke strats all the time Chevs, not b/c he is so l33t dominate at this game that winning str8 up is just too easy (in fact he never has won EC I don't think). He runs them b/c he is a math nerd who loves trying to optimize his NW subject to some set of constraints. The game is way better off thanks to what he has learned via these experiments I am sure. And to call Slagpit a braggart is so off-base its not even funny.

Would SMz beat Slag if both netted "seriously" next set. If I had to guess I'd give it better than 70% odds, b/c SMz would camp more targets (as well as be the first to snatch up retals clanmates don't want), end up higher in land than Slag the whole stocking phase, and jump competently. But even SMz would be absurd to say he would guarantee victory, anything can happen in any given set...I beat some people in EVO 2 sets ago and lost to them last set. Is this really shocking to people that player A can win in one set and player B in another?

As for everyone else in SoF, I really don't know how well any of you net, but I'd be surprised if after so many sets of warring, and outside of this set, not warring that well I might add, that you would actually be able to beat Slagpit (or more generally place in the top 10 say). Am I gonna guarantee you won't...no, like I (and slagpit) have said earlier that would be silly.

I disagree with Slagpit on one thing tho. I could guarantee beating him in NW next set without killing his country. I think 100 ABs a day from friends would do the trick... =)
