I swore I'd never be bothered posting anything here for the P-Nut gallery but I just needed to clear the air about a few things. I'll say it again for those of you too dense to understand the first 30 times I said it in game. I had no designs on even trying to win this round in F4. H3ll I had no desire to even play this round but once Ari dangled the fact that LC and his pack of jackels were on game and flappin their gums in world chat as they usually do I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to come back and pizz in some cornflakes. I had made a pact last round with Skipwith and Spyda that the three of us would be teammates on the next era but when all was said and done they both decided it was better for them to lead their groups and I was gonna sit out. Once that changed I gave my oath to be at BOTH of their disposal if ever called upon. Again I said "I" as in "ME" not including anyone else because I wouldn't speak for the guys in this current group. With the exception of Ari, Zen Wilson and Cajun all the guys were leaders of alliances on previous servers. We came together because we shared a common set of values and a level of professionalism when it came to the game. Much to my chagrin all was not as it seemed in the beginning. We had some much pizzin and moanin about crystals, conquers and sniping each other that I asked the guys to vote me out as leader. I told them there was no possible way this group would even finish in the top 10. I live by one rule when leading "The good of the FAMILY b4 the good of the one" If you can't adhere to that basic tenet I want nothing to do with you. Well over time these guys really stepped up to the plate and drove one deep. Unlike others that try to make friends with everyone ( a failed strategy) or make 1000 tick NAPs ( another waste of time) I will simply base my decisions on an assumption of the groups character. I knew Skip was an honorable brother as is Spyda and all of his men. So they were friends from the beginning. Poet of KRAW contacted me and unlike a large number of people on the server he was quite literate and had a good head on his shoulders so we were friends from the start too. Others became friends through another simple tenet I adopted. As long as you don't interfere with us we won't interfere with you. A few got froggy so we stomped 'em but for the most part we only hit targets of opportunity. We built a server wide gate system and prepared for the relics to come out when things started getting dicey with LC and his minions. I leave the continuation for another time when I have more free time to pizz away. For now I can't wait to see what the cretins have to say. I guess as well as the friends we have come to make. Until latter good luck 2 all.

Hey Hey Hey!! Look who is on the forums!! Welcome to the forums Robb!!

Good to see you here robb

Well once things started getting a bit heated with Wake or whatever the h3ll they called themselves. LC and I figured it was best to have a sit down. We hammered out a deal that SAS would stay off of their island and they would stay off of ours. No mention was made of other boundaries because I would've said to pound sand. I made the statement that EVERYTHING else was free game. Both groups could conquer and build anywhere on the map as long as we had no clashes there would be peace. Well I guess that didn't sit too well with some of the kiddies because as usual all kinds of pizzin and moanin started and then to my astonishment THREATS of war and invasion. I got a good laugh almost every day. See problem is I didn't really care what happened on this server. Like I said I had no desire to even be here let alone win. So if it came to war we'd simply rub their faces in it and laugh at the outcome , Win or lose. That is the advantage us "old men" have. If we lose on this free game we don't have to worry about hanging our head on the playground at recess. It's no big deal and has absolutely no bearing on our real lives. It's amusing listening to the people who's lives revolve around this GAME. It's also pretty easy to figure out exactly what many will do before they do it because most need instant gratification and lack any patience or composure. So many get so worked up way too easily. Remember people it's a GAME. Enjoy it and don't take things so personally. Dam got myself off track for a second there. Well WAKE started building OP's on our island so we popped 'em. there were 11 different times. Then They attacked 2 of Ari's OPS on a neutral island so that of course led to us making an advance on them. I had asked Spyda if he wanted a few crystals but he couldn't attack until after tick 1000. ( The reason I refuse to grant NAP's of long duration) So we moved on their stronghold. Funny thing is a few of their guys recognized the futility of sticking with WAKE and simply made deals with some of the SAS guys. Others tried to run but had no place to hide. IS finally was able to make their move but they were "Late for the party" . Of course there was a little anger over the fact that the majority of crystals went to SAS but that's the benefit of having a group of "Fire Pizzers" no moss will gather under the feet of anyone in my FAMILY. When there is a target the entire group mobilizes and uses OVERWHELMING FORCE to crush any that stand before us. I'm sure there will be a time when we get our butts handed to us but when that happens we will simply regroup and come back with a vengeance . There won't be any crying or excuses. Just a tip of the hat to the victors and a word of warning that as long as they have us down they had better do everything in their power to keep us down. Resilience is a trait shared by all in the FAMILY. Along with COMPOSURE and DEVOTION. When I get a group together I will not be swapping in and out players to gain rank or strength. We either WIN together or DIE together.

Now for the remainder of this round. Honestly I'm not sure what will transpire. I have stepped down and Kaustubh is doing a bang up job of leading. I am indebted to him for taking over the reigns. The rest of the guys have really come into their own and I posed a question to them if they would like to give away the relics. I got a resounding and unanimous "NO" from the ranks. These guys worked too hard and put in too much effort. As I have said earlier. I meaning "ME" and nobody else pledged not to attack Spyda and IS unless they attack. But I will throw my full support behind my lads if they are attacked. Since I'm having issues with my 'puter and have been bogged down with investigations at work I won't be around to negotiate but I have all the confidence in the world in whatever decision is come to by Kaust, Ari, Zen and Wilson to name a few.

So, i see you have no plans for the rest of the era, so how will it end? 3000 ticks?

I will watch this discussion grow. I wanna see what people say.

Nick? Do you see any other solution? lol
Stating few facts:
1. Everyone in Sas is willing to give away relics if Me/Robb agrees to it. But we cant overlook the efforts our family took to gain this strong position/relics..
2.There is no history in BD that a alliance owing 7 relics will submit them to other alliance who owns 3(still i am overlooking relic 15. which is currently in your possession..Hope you remember issues while capturing it. Otherwise it would have been 8 versus 2)
3. as Robb said we will not Start attack from our end for any good reason.

If you guys in SAS have the activity, then you should plan a war. Whoever wins takes the relics, but giving up 7 relics will be a crazy decision. Hoping to see a war between iS and SAS.

I don't want war, I want to see Seths reaction if there is just such a long time of peace and prosperity, or pillaging and plunder for the top 2 on lower alliences. Either way we all win. And by all I mean the top 2. And by win I mean..uh well win.

MajorSoap, you muppet!!! You know what I mean?

Tick 3000 here we come.
