Well you haven't won a war... Facts are facts my friend. Don't get upset just because I'm speaking the truth and you're part of it. You're perfectly capable of doing something.
BUT, I must commend you all as if you're strategy to win is to sit pretty in the rim and just take in everyone and pact everyone until it's just you left and maybe one other alliance, you're doing a great job. However, you're killing the purpose of this game..
Anyways, I had hope for you guys but you're exactly the same as when Bear and Breez ruled. Only difference is the name. You still want to pact everyone. Haven't really fought any TRUE wars. And you still have all the smaller teams be your slaughter pigs and do your dirty work while you sit pretty and maybe aid in Defense here and there (but only if it suits you as you don't care about anyone but yourselves and it's obvious), and you keep building academies and are asking another alliance to become your second academy!
Still think you're NOT an MRA???
Btw, remind me how big you guys are again. Because I see a lot of gold spending and a lot of city building. Not much fighting.. Plus, since when does gold make you good?
But, as it seems I'm always right. I was going to commend Roric Elders for not jumping ship at the first signs of a fight. But alas, I was right. And he did jump as well. So much for him being all "bad to the bone".
Our alliance was in disarray
months ago due to absolutely terrible leadership from both bear and Breez. IamSpartcus and bloodbringer came in and took over as our alliance's leaders, and have done a fantastic job. Maybe we were busy with other things, such that going to war with a big alliance would not have been in our best interest. I know the thought would never cross your mind because of how sickeningly arrogant you are, but what if we haven't gone to war with others because we have leaders that know how to negotiate, and don't stop all talks simply because they don't like initial negotiating terms? You could really learn something from them, instead of breaking the pact with your closest ally as soon as you ask us to break our agreement with the Knights. And how far did that get you?
Our alliance is the strongest it's ever been, while your alliance is crumbling to pieces.
We haven't won a war? As soon as we went to "war" with Vortex, they were ready to wave the white flag and
literally give us their ocean 73 cities for free while they would move out to the 80s. But thanks to your fantastic diplomacy skills (you made sure everyone knows multiple times that you've allegedly "never lost a war"!), we had to take their cities by force. And while that was still a very easy task as they put up nearly no resistance, it was just plain stupid of you to not accept their surrender. And as for Militia, they initiated hostilities. They attacked us before our war with them started, in case you were unaware.
Our strategy to win is to just sit pretty? Yeah that will
totally work! Why doesn't everyone do this?? It's true we did get good positioning as a rim alliance. Again, you would never even consider this because you're too ignorant and proud, but maybe,
just maybe, merging with nearby alliances to make your own alliance stronger could be a good thing. I can tell you that personally, I like it when my alliance grows and becomes stronger. But I know you would never consider letting anyone join your highly exclusive alliance, because that would make you guys an MRA, and nobody likes those. And you would
definitely never merge into another alliance because that would mean you guys are weak, right? You're also totally right that helping your alliance grow is against the point of this game. Who would ever want a strong alliance? That's just nonsense!
We're not different than when bear and Breez led us? This one isn't even worth addressing. Just wait and see how we've grown.
Haven't really fought any TRUE wars. And you still have all the smaller teams be your slaughter pigs and do your dirty work while you sit pretty and maybe aid in Defense here and there (but only if it suits you as you don't care about anyone but yourselves and it's obvious), and you keep building academies and are asking another alliance to become your second academy!
Now you're literally just contradicting yourself, before saying that we haven't won a single war, but now we merely haven't won any
TRUE wars. We have smaller teams fight our wars for us? Is this the Cold War or something? We're fighting satellite wars through smaller alliances? lolwut. Give me an example, I'm begging you. We keep building academies? How many have we built? Are you talking about our recent merge with the now Blood Legion Rebels? We're sister alliances, we fight together as one. I'd love to hear about all the other academy alliances we've built.
Plus we're even an MRA? You're right, all alliances with academies or sister alliances are MRAs. Blood Legion, Fight Club, Militia, Aeterna Victoriae, Triad (3 alliances merged together), Knights (original Knights + Numbers and Figures) are also MRAs by your definition. We all ruin the point of the game and just take in anyone we can, you're the only real alliance around that follows the purpose of the game.
Is buying gold a bad thing? If a player can afford it and considers the investment worth it, why not? It's not cheating, as you can buy and use gold just like everyone else. It will give you a completely legitimate advantage, so obviously some people will want that. And if you want to go even further, it's the people that buy gold that allow grepolis to be available for free for everyone else, so don't try to use that argument. Gold doesn't make you good, but it helps you grow faster.
City building??? Are you even serious? I'll just stop upgrading the buildings in my city, and I'll tell everyone else in my MRA to stop as well. Because obviously that's not the point of the game.
Oh yeah, and it's funny that you try to trash talk in the forums behind a name that doesn't exist in our world, where nobody can simply search your name to know who's trash talking Blood Legion, Blood Legion Rebels, The Knights, and (at least indirectly) just about every other alliance in the server. But your Black Legion is just oh-so-great. By the way, we know that you're King Dr.Acula because of how arrogant you are.
