I advice you to edit your signature. It's false information 

Personally, I do not know why so many are looking for facts in a forum. It is a forum, not the weather channel. I do not come here for facts, only views and opinions.

Moderators should be as accurate to everyone as possible. I have moderated two games so I am familiar with the problem of being bias towards giving out information. Although I was a gamer myself, moderators were not allowed to participate in the game for that reason. It is impossible to NOT be bias and is to be expected. That can be seen as a fact or an opinion but statistics have shown the probability of bias behavior to occur 90% of the time and most game developers have avoided it for accuracy in game play.

Those discussing the game itself, yes, I am part of the RA. I am one of the ones who can be blamed for starting the war as well. Some LOBR players have mentioned 'bullying' being a problem from other leagues besides LOBR. I guess it depends on your definition and how much information you are getting and how much communication you have with other leagues. Is attacks made by other leagues on low level players considered 'bullying'? Yes, I would think so. However, this level of 'bullying' is small potatoes compared to what LOBR does. Players often do not even realize what leaders and command do or say in their own league. When LOBR -Mad Ted- sends you are letter threatening to take your beacons and downgrade your Fortress because you said something he did not like, that is major 'bullying'. However, Mad Ted hides this from a majority of his players.This is beyond bullying, but rather an ego trip by a league with the strongest player that feels he has the right to dictate the entire game and everyone in it. Bullying a single player might be morally wrong, but no one should be allowed  to bully entire leagues. No matter how strong I was, I would not do what LOBR are doing. Many players  join them so they are not bullied.

Personally, I would rather be the Tiger on the  losing side of a  fight, than the mouse on the  winning side.

So many opinions in here, I agree with some, disagree with others.  OP is right this is not a forum of fact, to many opinions muddying the water.  I'm for the RA alliance and proud to be one of the founding members.  I have my reasons, some are listed in the forum, some not, but i'll keep them to myself unless asked.  The beacon war is progressing, sometimes it looks like the Rebel Alliance is winning, sometimes it looks like LOBR has taken back control.  

One thing is for sure this will continue for some time and the side with the best long term strategy will be the winner.   

Plarium will also be a winner with the amount of money spent on buying sapphires/packs, healing and buying troops.  

I don't care if Thomas Brunson or others are moderators and Marshall of an involved league, because I'm sure they get no special privileges from Plarium regarding upcoming events and changes in the game.  I'll be back soon I need to feed my unicorn and water the money tree.  :))

Loved this by the way

Well done .  :))

spending thousands of $ on a video game does not make you good at it nor does it give you the right to claim "strategy".

this is probably better suited in a different discussion, maybe in general chit chat, BUT........

Did no one take/save any screenshots of the fable 500+ million defense lost by KT? or was this not from beacons?

I will continue to wait and hopefully see at least one big screenshot, so i can be in AWE of powerful coiners( I mean good players) :D

Ask KT, Techway and Friend about it. Ask them to deny it happened. Ask Friend how many fireballs lit up his castle when the left-overs from his hamlets limped home and were not catted. Ask KT players as they would know. Ask Winterfell what it felt like to lose his offense vs BR. He lost almost 800 GWD's alone that day. Ask them. Ask all the KT players who left KT, especially their captains who left....

your lucky on server 2 ... atleast the other side is fighting back if only with single pike attacks .
Over here Resevoir Dogs does ... well nothing, quite sad and boring

Then why not come join in the game. I'm sure you could play on two different games. Your experience should be helpful to any league. You might even enjoy being involved in a map wide War.

  KT has threatened to target any leagues that have worked with us in the past. They believe that the way to win this fight is to start targeting those leagues in hopes that they "turn" against us. I think that they will find in the end that not only will this create more enemies for KT, but will end up weakening them to the point where they will no longer have the ability to threaten others. But then again, who knows. Drunken Dragons has next to no offense left, yet leagues still worry about their threats, lol.

KT/RA are and have been threatening every and any league that they "think" may be friendly to BR. KT threatened leagues to work with them to raise their fortress. They say the will destroy any league ON THE SERVER who helps BR in any way. BUT, this war is based on BR being the server "bully". How strange is that? I hear the word "bully" mentioned all the time about BR yet I have seen not one single shred of evidence to prove that statement. RA tries to recruit people into their little group using that reasoning. They do this to get others to try to do what they themselves can't. But they themselves are the ones bullying the server now as well as the past. BR has given many leagues beacons. Many leagues ask BR for beacons. KT EVEN ASK BR TO TAKE A BEACON FROM ANOTHER LEAGUE WHEN THEY THEMSELVES COULD NOT DO IT!! . Now that's funny!

man thats gotta be the worst screenshot of all time... I wanted to see a big troop fight with huge numbers ): 

   KT believes that the way to win this war is to "pong" beacons back and forth. I do not see any benefit to this strategy, but we will accept the simple downgrades for achievements. Any beacon over level 1 held by KT, or DD will be taken away and left for another league to take.

 We have sat and watched numerous small leagues take beacons and level them, only to have those beacons taken by this "RA." 

http://prntscr.com/ftxx9f

  There is a screenshot of this "war". KT takes beacons, but knows that they cannot defend them so they leave a small force. We then take them and leave them empty. There is no need for us to do anything at this point except keep KT from holding beacons, which is a simple task.

like screenshots when BR took KT beacons/ or when your league fighting with Dunkin dragons ...or is noone fightin?

all i see in chat is BR take this/glory raider take this/dunkin dragons take X beacon

for example today:

"The LordsOfTheBlackRose Leagues captured Beacon 40 (lvl. 2) (x:-397, y:303) held by the Drunken Dragons - RA League."

like did noone lose troops here?

edit: I would also like to see some RA screenshots if possible :D

yo

can we get some screenshots of the war from the BR side, would like to see your strategy at work :D

you are mistaken if you think this game is only for "coiners".


blablabla


BG revives is a strategy??? raiding when 75% is strategy???? LOL really dude whats next are you going to say that the Flag Tourney also requires "strategy"


Strategy is looking at rankings/profiles to determine the strength of your enemy for example: http://prntscr.com/ftse67


Strategy is using comms/chat ect for communication for multiple people raids/wods ect


Strategy is sending a fake raid/siege and sending spies before it hits to "gauge a strength of an enemy"


Strategy is not making a mistake/huge loss and then rez them with sapp in the infirmary, that is simply coining.

Strategy is not one person having over 20,000 assasins, this is simply coining.

these stats: http://prntscr.com/ftsm6s is not "strategy" just look at the raid points and for your info that player started playing http://prntscr.com/ftspnc.


blablabla


I am not laughing at people who spend in this game, because I would be laughin at myself.

I am laughin at those who spend THOUSANDS, and think they are "good" at the game my reward is spending less than them and playing better and enjoying the game more.

there are very few non-coiners who are good at this game.

The game is not only for coiners, you can play without spending, but you'll need some of them in order to compete.

Playing BGs or hitting stuff during 75% discount on revival, if you call it just coining, well, you could always just go to Black Market and buy directly troops from there, but when you take numbers and do maths, you realize it's better to wait for certain opportunities and methods to acquire troops, so technically speaking we can call it doing strategy...

There are too many ways of strategy that you can follow on this game, if you don't follow certain ones doesn't exactly mean that you're not a strategists, looks like after a year and a half of playing Solidarius you manage to learn some good ones for the castles level, but there's way too more to think about. You can find players that just play smart, others that just coin heavily, both can be dangerous, but combined become extremely dangerous... Shame most of leagues with big potential didn't find the way of making this combination right on this server, that's in few words how this particular league climbed so high to the position where in can rule on others.

Those people that you laugh at, they would have been destroyed and would have quit long ago if they weren't good at the game.

And, believe it or not, there are many non-coiners who are good.
