For Winning Triple Crown yet again.

http://www.earthempires.com/alliance/38/clans/LaF

No #1 Rank this time, but that's okay when you win the Crown. Still the #1 Netting Alliance around. I estimate there was some botched finishes. But still More impressive than the last set.

7 spots in the top 10.

Can anyone compare in this arena?


If your an old LaF Player, come back and join LaFamiglia for the Reunion set.

We are playing by the game rules. Anything we do is just a strategy to remain on top. If your members want to keep things the same way they were done in the past, than you are afraid of change. Times change, get with the program or get left behind.

The definition of "winning the Triple Crown"

is the clan that wins:

A) Total net worth

B) Average net worth

c) having one of it's members finish the reset in the number one position.

sorry to burst your bubble Karnage XZ but having the most number of members doesn't factor into this title.

you're correct...they did win for having the highest membership this reset combined with having the highest total networth and the highest average net worth


however they missed out on winning the "Triple Crown" by failing to place one of it's members in the number one finish

Over the hill why come out of the gates like a fluffing loser? Why not just a simple well done?

The negative nature of some of you is astounding. I understand the web Is an outlet for some. But that's a reflection of your own life, which you should address instead of coming online just to let out your inner flufftard.

You do realise they won the crown right? 1st 1st 1st? Yes they won all 3 stats but rather than congratulate what stat can I bring up? They didn't have a 1st place finisher... Sour puss.

Anyways most tags could fa someone to 1st. So its not as relevant as all your members have most avergae nw. You have most players tagged, and you have the most nw than every other tag...

Incorrect, the triple crown has always been the 3 alliance based ranking metrics. AVG NW, Total NW, and most members.

Please come back and try again, though.

one last time before I leave this thread for good.

read my lips mrcuban........LaF didn't win the triple crown

you may personally not agree with the definition of what a "Triple Crown" victory is... but it is what it is and I'll post it below again since you just don't seem to get it.

This is the definition that has been around since the inception of this game and acknowledged by every player(except for apparently LaF members who keep changing it to meet their particular needs lol)
if you don't agree with this definition then go petition every clan to change it

but then again.......who gives a rat's ass.......let it go Bro

You do realise my point wasn't just that what you said was incorrect or correct... (its incorrect btw)...

It was that rather than congratulate the achievement, you chose to be a sour puss.

Can you see the difference?

further to hax's point, I've been playing off and on for close to 18 years and have never heard of it referred to as requiring tnw, anw, and 1st place. Two thirds of those eighteen years were in alliances that weren't named LaF.

Granted, I didn't troll AT from 2004-2009. Was it introduced then? I've posted here 2-3 times a month since then, did I just miss it?


edit: you did say since the game's inception. do you mean EE? Triple crowns weren't mentioned much back in the game's actual heyday. There was always an someone like TGA, or later, Rage and Arrow that carried the most members, but couldn't net at all.

Honestly, Overthehill is correct, last reset, the #1 was an alliance achievement, unlike most resets where it's a solo achievement.

internally in laf we always referred to 1 anw 1 tnw 1 members as triple crown

and any 2 of the above plus 1st ranked country as something like the poor mans triple crown

And the player who had the #1 country has played in LaF. Either way well done to all who played their countries to the best of their ability.

This is actually the more logical criteria. Because if you have highest average net and most members, you automatically also have highest total net.

But we still won.

For the record... mrcuban set the rules for the triple crown for this set already and we made predictions based off of it. According to that, they did win it. So congrats to them. :P

Also, in this game of diminishing numbers, we SHOULD be competing to get the most members on a regular basis (not by stealing ofc, but by recruiting!) So I applaud them for setting the bar and making that a thing, even though most of us had previously considered the triple crown to include a member in the #1 spot.

Congrats LaF!



...and Congrats SoF. ;)

*shrug*

if people want to compare penis sizes regarding #1 in a reset, LaF has 19 of them of the 38 sets played.

considering how often LaF has war'ed in EE, getting 50% of the #1 spots, and 132 of possible 380 Top 10 spots, we don't worry much.

And just because AT needs ammo to flame LaF, EVO has 4 #1 finishes, 72 Top 10s.

But if we weight ANW finishes with #1 with 15pts, #15 with 1pt.
Omega has 504pts with only ONE time finishing out of Top 4.
LaF #2 with 408, EVO #3 with 407.

Surprise of the day is PDM at #6, DKnights 16th above RAGE.
DANGER 21st, over iMag.

TNW wise, LaF leads at 468, Omega 453, EVO 380

I have spread sheets if anyone is interested, made for giggles.

fluffing laf and their spreadsheets.

Tripple crown has always been anw,total nw and total members, the three ways which alliances are ranked in game.

In the mean time I'd like to take this time to congratulate myself, for another reset of not playing passing, and still being the best player to have ever played EE.

Congrats.

Some of you are pointing out LaF's membership size.

Maybe you should be asking them how to keep your players around.
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

We just recruit new blood, and then trick old people into coming back.
Some people will fall off, but we do recruit / trick enough to maintain a status quo.

That's been the LaF motto.

I mean, so far I already counted 7 members that have a country that didn't play last reset, I think the count is closer to 15.
