Top Raiders Competition Destroyed
Last week, someone who has never been a top 10 player comfortably took #1 by an unprecedented margin because 19 hours before the raid week ended, he got an extra 10 raiding slots before the week ended. He got this because his heg of a 10 member coa knew to plan to get 15 extra raiding slots per day when the capture the flag tournament was announced AFTER the raiding week had already started.
This week, here is the current top 100 raid for those whose coa gets no extra raid slots because of the Capture the Flag tourney
44: Rastaman34, Fr-Olympia
45: Q-Power LOP, Association
55: DjiroccoTheGreat1, House of Batiatus
56: M10, Crimson Tide
59: Roy Mah, Ouroboros
60: Phil The Greatest, Association
68: Pauwe, Empire of Batiatus
69: Butcher Tai Pan, Ouroboros
72: Sarath, Indians
73: Alv, Leg-XIII-Gemini
75: Thix59310, Les Anges Ténébreux
76: Pinas, Hellenic Front
78: Bowerman, Tomahawk
80: Archimedes, Retribution
83: Pontios, EΛΛAΣ
84: SHFO2461, House of Hercules
85: Maximilian IFS, Lost Souls
86: Katahdin, House of Batiatus
89: Costas, Crimson Tide
90: Stronghold, Commander-in-Chief
92: Ianescu, Les Anges Ténébreux
94: Philippe, L-S Black Region
96: Ray, Veterans
Roy and Q-Power are on the all-time top 10 raiding list. M10, Butcher Thai Pan are all-time top 20 and DjiroccoTheGeat1, Maximillian IFS, Costos and Phil The Greatest are in all-time top 100 raiders list.
Within 2 days, that list will probably be no more than 10, (mostly from the all-time top 100) and by the end of the raiding week, perhaps the all-time raid rank champion Roy Mah will be the only one on it.
The following week, those people who on
Lost Souls Alpha, Germanicus Cultus 1, Guerilla, Wikinger, Deedz, Parabellum, Legion A Rios, Terminators, Kracken, Band of Killerz, Himmel- & Höllenblut, Schwarz Rot Gold, Hungarians, Thanatos2 ITA, German Sharks, Non Nobis Nobine, Havoc, Zerberus, Maelstrom, Roma Antica, Bushi Fr/Belgium, Kings of the North, Sparta Warriors, Expendables, Themistocles, Zorn Gottes
who have extra raid slots this week (that list is ranked in order of number of raiding slots, and secondarily by coalition rank) will realize they can stop raiding 48 hours before the new week stops and have 5, 10 or 15 extra raiding slots over all the others for the following week. So they will distort the top raiding list too.
Then the week after that, Plarium will have yet another Capture the Flag tourney, which will add raiding slots to the LUCKY raid rankers near the end of that raiding week, distorting the results like it did last week.
And if unchanged, this cycle of not caring how the game is affected, will continue.
Plarium,
if you want to have this weird week of extra unlevel raid ranking, do not allow new raiding slots to start until the new week starts for top raiders (or any other ranking). And remove ALL extra raiding slots awarded during that week, if they remain by the time a raid first LANDS on the following week. Then you can have your week of crazy raiding results once every 3 weeks though I would call it crazy raiding and not count it towards the all-time raiding totals since you are clearly lumping together apples and oranges and calling them both raiding.
Raiders,
Your mission raider, should you choose to accept it:
look at the above info and that is your new rules for how you have a prayer at being competitive. You must either be in the top 10 of your capture the flag league or somehow keep your capital's flag at whatever cost, and then get at least 1 buff for +5 raiding slots. Though to seriously be competitive in the top 10, you will need 3 buffs dedicated to raiding. Don't worry about debuffs because your extra raiding slots can't be debuffed.
You will need a REALLY LARGE list of cities to raid because the maximum number of raids per week increased by more than double. There will be massive overgrazing of farms, sieged dead cities, high level botlines.
As always, should you or any of your Impossible Mission Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This message will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck raider.
