Plarium is still giving to much importance in lighthouse treasures.

I both agree and disagree with you. Lemme explain.

Personally, I feel that the Brawl is not very different from BH Prize Ransack, because of the important of Prizes that you complain about. Like you, I feel that this could've been done better, i.e., more balanced. So, in terms of how I would like the Brawls to work, I agree with you.

However, when the Brawls first started, I complained to my CM about that, and they said that it is intentional and it won't be changed. So, I disagree with your statement in terms of the Brawls behaving exactly as those who make up the rules want them to behave. Us not liking those rules is hardly relevant, as long as those making the rules are happy with the outcome.

Plarium  is still giving to much importance in lighthouse treasures.

Some BH are just doing that with "specialiized" accounts made just for this, it's kiling the Brawl interest

some make  hundreds of thousands of pointsjust with this  and if you  do all parts of game with fighting a bit too (everything except big treasures) to you made 10 000 points....

These more active BHs in lower tiers are calculating. They stay as dormant as possible (no prizes, treasure islands, finished upgrades, etc) for one Brawl, then they go all out on the next one, and so forth.

IMO, you're not losing much by not winning. The BH rewards (so, ignoring Gigs, which are personal) you get are split in 3 categories: ranking, victory, stages (points achieved). Of these, the ones for victory are the least interesting (some Daggers, boosts, and a not-very-useful item... totally uninteresting, IMO). Ranking rewards, which you get if you're among top 10, are the best ones ruby-wise, but you don't get anything else. They range (IIRC) from a few hundred to a few thousand rubies per member for higher tiers (no idea about lower ones). The stages rewards are a mix of goodies (ships, res, some rubies,...) and likely the most worth of the bunch. Just compare below: 7.5k rubies vs. a few boosts and Daggs vs. over 1k rubies and some quite useful items.

Here, see the composite that I made when my BH made #1 in Diamond tier:

Now, ranking - of course - kinda depends on which tier you end up in and for that you might want to consider a more calculating approach (what I described in the first paragraph). However, if other BHs are doing that as well, then the others who do it will still push you out of top 10, even in a lower tier. There is no helping that.

Other than trying to manipulate your tier in an effort to get in top 10 (which would reduce stages rewards), just go for the points and it totally doesn't matter if you win or lose. The victory reward is really all but useless.

What I would like to understand with this Brawl is how is it that they put our BH, a BH of 17 with 5 inactive, we hold no presidio's our bastion is only at 5 and we never have a score of over 200k but yet we are always in the Gold Tier with Bh's of over 100 members who have high scores of 1 million, some of them but for the most part most of them have scores of anywhere from 300k to a million. But when I look Rual is in the silver tier with scores always higher than ours so how is it our little BH is ranked for the gold tier????? Every week....This makes no sense. Every week I look at this and every week we are in the Gold Tier, every week we have very low scores. How is this possible? How is it that they rank us in the next to the top tier?? So yea I think there is something to this accusation about Plarium. Otherwise there is no way that we would be in the Gold Tier every week with all these high level BH's.

Hi Luna, write with your main acc, why with alt? )) Maybe talk about Grim , NSF? or about acc s which you and DF buy? Don t want?

Very cool take 100 alts and write with 100 alts on forum

I have been asked by Ron NSF to Official give NSF Answer to this rather bizarre " argumentum ad verecundiam " by Privateer in regards to Pirate Bay .

Privateer said:

i would like to reply to one accusation made by CIGNEOUS in a previous post regarding COTS

he claims Cots belong to them , i presume them being RuAL or Euru ?

I am part of Cots leadership and strongly refute that accusation, Cots belong only to Cots members we have limited diplomacy and respect our ally and those we are at peace with.

As The Community know fritz, shiv, nightmare, and a few other well know " Miscreants " have alts in COTS The whole Community presume that the different family of shiv ( his words not ours ) are controlled by him and his " unproven as yet " use of " something " not given in the game to ever player. 

We have members in NSF, that was once part of this “rual family brotherhood controlled game system” that were told they require there account log in,s and they could be moved by “ the leadership” to anywhere ( brother hood in the rual family ) 

Best not to link your credit card " Hey !

There for the “Brotherhoods” involved use each other to gerrymander, tournament results.

This to The Community means that any score, ranking, or measurement of " one of them top " players is NULL and VOID and when proved will result in the removal of their statistics.

We at NSF have black listed a number of cots and there known sister brotherhoods players, and feel they are not honourable Men who can be trusted.

I know a lot of people dislike Cots, and i will tell you why, we are a top PvP BH

As regards RuAL or Euru just winning via prize playing so what they lose more units than gained, but if that's what they like doing in game then so be it, i don't see much else either BH does, but i do not blame SHIV after all the flak that's given without any proof what so ever, turning one or both BH's and attacking who has made continual accusations as he has done in the past.

The reason most people hate " some of you " is nothing to do with how well you think you may play pvp, It is more to do with that a number of you have played the game in different Brotherhoods and have indulged in treachery, disloyalty, and basically tried to destroyed some of the oldest Brotherhoods in Pirates Bay, for your own selfish ends.

Then you love to pontificate using a superior moral authority argument to the rest of the player base, using some very weak argument " it is the private code ", even some of cots heavens are named as such -

  .... SHAME .... SHAME .... SHAME !

Some thing which will come back to haunt you.

You have killed the game in pirate bay like you did in sirens straights, not many of the Whales are going to spend there ( not a miss spell ) " subway cards " on a cheap con trick game any more.

Interesting topic,,, 

You ll find here yr answers as at Sparta war of Empires we discover something similar yesterday...

https://plarium.com/forum/en/sparta-war-of-empires/128_game-discussion/195960_plarium-building-computer-coals/

i should have added this to my other post 

Here is a possible solution to the Brawl Argument, do not remove the prizing aspect of the Brawl 

But simply lower the points gained, to bring Prize playing in line with points gained from other tasks.
