ME vs. FAF

Post by **The Beatles** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 2:05 am

Only one of Slasher/gondor household will be allowed to play, in considersation for the ME team. I would like both sides to be happy with the fairness of the game.

Carl is gone for 3 weeks. Put Tsoerehael on the ME side please. How do we balance the teams if they arent balanced?

ME:

2 Mages
2 Farmers

FAF:

4 Mages
2 Indys
1 Farmer

We definately have the mage advantage so far. Be interesting to see how their final clan looks.

EDIT: It depends on how unblanced the teams are. From what I've seen from the ME forums it looks like there's a few people who want to play but have not yet signed up.

That still cracks me up everytime I hear it. For those of you who don't get it, it came from a post here.

Edit> Due to some misinterpretations I feel it necessary to preface this as: Satire.

After talking with Blazing Trails (he helped relieve me of some excess land I had obviously been holding for him. I didn't know it at the time but that is irrelevant) we came to the conclusion that I was; because of ineptitude at the game; a Land Gatherer! Hehehehe!

That's pretty damn funny! But it is also pretty damn true too!

You see, I had been under the impression that the land I explored for, or sent my troops off to die for, or mustered my wizards to do battle for, was actually MY land.

It was not! I was merely a go between! A squatter, if you will. A cow grazing on the farmers property!

That concept is alien to the newbies of Promisance like myself. But I accept it now.

There are only 3 types of players in Promisance (don't freaking kid yourself just because you are one of the undesireable types of player)!

1) The Haves : these guys have it going on, maybe they're in the top 5 maybe the top 10, it makes no difference: they came to play!

2) The Used to Haves : these people used to have land and armies and networth and selfworth! Sadly, broken treaties and broken dreams are their playthings now!

3) The About To Be : these players are about to be in one of the first two categories, some of them know it, some of them don't. Usually it's the ones who don't know it that end up as player 2 types, but there are always overacheiving underthinkers that blaze their way to within grasp of being player 1 types, and then fall faster than your prom dates underwear after 3 beers! (damn thats fast!)

Far from being a pointless post exuding the misery of the realization of which type of player I am, this post is all about the mental freedom that comes from finding my place in the Promisance!

I am a Land Gatherer! I go get land and stuff and hold it temporarily until someone comes along and culls it from me! And I'm okay with that!

In fact, I'm so okay with it that I propose making a business out of it. I'm thinking of starting the MOO clan!

It already exists to some extent, but the membership isn't quite clear on the fact that they belong!

We; like all good cattle; will graze the Promisance and happily explore for oodles of land on which we will only build enough mage towers, farms and income buildings to protect ourselves from poachers, and then sell the land to the highest bidders.

Sales; of course; would entail you paying us money up front and then we 'allow' you to take the tracts of land by using conventional warfare (non building destroying/gathering attacks only mind you). This saves you money in the long run from losing troops to our pesky defenses! And no more worries about counter attacks! (as if you did anyway, hehe)

We then begin the process over again until we have more land you want from us!

As for poachers? Well, if assassins aren't available then (hopefully 5 or more clanmembers casting fireball at you will help deter or redress transgressions)

It is the natural order of things anyway! Why not make a profit from it? If you aren't in the top 5 you are only fooling yourself into thinking you aren't a 'default' or 'lifelong' member of the MOO clan anyway!

Embrace your Failure!!

Join the MOO Clan!

Some of you are already members and just can't be bothered to stop chewing the cud long enough to realize it! Why not make it official!

Do you really want to be left out of your last chance at self respect! DO YOU!

If you feel me, let me hear you say 'MOO'!! (actually a coherent response along with a MOO would be preferable) I said: Let Me Hear You Say.....MOOOO!!!

This message was brought to you by the Weilder of the Sacred Cow!

EDIT> based on response #1 and #2 I feel the need to add the point that this is complete satire!

O_o..There are two ~KRakeN~ in the game. How can this be?!?!

EDIT: Oh...Nevermind. There is one letter difference. I couldn't see it before.

Quite funny! :*laughs*:

BTW, can we get HeadCheese or Darklands on our team?

Post by **Gen. Volkov** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 11:06 pm

What did I say Urran! WHAT DID I SAY?? I'm not to be volunteered for this darn it! And who said I was an indyer anyway? I can do it fairly well, but that's not the point. I will not be classified!

Besides, you don't need me.7 FAFer's vs 4 or 5 ME people.

Post by **Urran Voh** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 11:13 pm

Bah, you Indy with the best of them. I'll just have to keep my Shipses up so I can't be killed. :*laughs*:

Seriously though, we have 4 Magers, 2 Indies, and 1 that could go either way. And from my experience at ME, the only Mage threat we face is Taris.

Post by **Gen. Volkov** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 11:14 pm

Bah, fine, if you really think you need me, I'll do it. I won't like it, but I'll do it.

Arthus · Post by **Arthus** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 1:50 am

Yeah, Taris is the only real mager we have.

Post by **Gen. Volkov** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 4:46 pm

So what's the deal Urran? You think you really need me or not?
