POTD: VS+NC vs. TR

Zanduar · 2005-06-12, 03:43 PM

Just so true and finally admitted for all to see in a POTD. I guess Blue and Purple go well together

If you played nc you would think differently.

Lartnev · 2005-06-12, 08:32 PM

Probably the same if you played vs too

Zanduar · 2005-06-15, 01:28 PM

You may be right, I am biased because I play only TR. But I've never heard a global or had a chat with another empire about working together. Nor has there ever been an order to not attack the enemy. When I see the VS and NC on a cont attacking only TR it looks a bit odd to me.

Try the third monolith event. The VS defended the neutral cap for the TR. THey only killed NC, not TR, and admitted to doing it. Thats how bad it is on Markov.

Firefly · 2005-06-15, 05:47 PM

Is that why the amateurs on Markov had to come to Emerald with an outfit of the same name?

Markov = amateur. As far as VS and TR, probably because they were scared to death of the million-man seven-nation army called 666th that is so apparently uber that it has to cause VS and TR to band together.

ppl plz THINK before posting. empires do NOT fight together without a reason. if it helps ur empire to achieve a goal by not attacking 1 empire then u do it. (e.g. mod event u fight for 1st place but can�t cap the current monolith so u obv try to deny it to the empire u are fighting for 1st)

I'd take Markov over the other two any day. Emerald was too easy. And Werner...they were cool, but not the same.

I don't know about that. Markov has an extremely low population atm. It really isn't apparent until you try to get CEP on a non event night, unless you have a regular group of poeple that are on at the same time it's impossible to get a full squad much less a platoon. (Which you need to get any decent CEP.) It also becomes apparent when, on an event night, you can wander around inside an enemy base the zergs are fighting for in agile and not be found for 15 mins. I really don't know what the other servers are like population wise though.

I havent seen any pop problems...maybe Im on the wrong poplocked continents.

This is actually quite far from the truth. Friday night, Future Crew had a full squad going and our squad leader, LiquiDSn4k3 got the CEP (roughly 7,000 CEP) when we captured Azeban.

I also would rather take markov over the other servers. Werner's prime time is not convienient for me and emerald has 13908759863475923809 BFRs and 1 out of 20 people can actually put up a fight in doors.

Yeah, I should have stated on emerald. On emerald, there have been several occurances of VS and NC working together. The three-way bitch that is cyssorside has led me to many battles where it will be NC + VS vs. TR. The TR just become a natural enemy and fewer VS/NC fights happen because there is a TR target. When there isn't a target then they will go after each other to improve their K/Ds.

TR continents get attacked by both VS and NC, sometimes there will be backhacks that do not benefit the backhacking empire at all but will severly hurt the defending TR because we can't seem to defend on two fronts.

I've never once, ever have been told globably to work together with another empire. The only time that any cooperation occurs is when there are black market trades for obviously superiour items. I don't know why an NC would want a colosus (sp) because its a piece of S*** but we will gladly trade for other empire's stuff if given the chance.

Think about this buddy...

Say your the TR and the VS and NC are fighting on Esamir. A CR5 tells you to attack Esamir. You attack Esamir. Now the TR and the NC are buddy, buddy's right? No.. Obviously you not to great of a strategist.

If the enemy is fighting on one front already, then it is VERY smart to open up another and let that empire weaken. Its not alling agaisnt your empire, its using the situation to your advantage. doh
