Title: Hoarde 10 Knits 1
Post by: newz on January 04, 2010, 12:46:44 AM
Naa naa na boo boo to the bish hoarde at a49. :neener:

A handful of knits who were not afraid to die being vultched, proved just
what a couple of determined chaps could do to your steamrolling juggernaut.

Yes we padded the scores of many of your finest, but in the end it seems 4 to 1 odds
and all the E you could carry were not enough to secure the field.
You thought you had it and got sloppy on your vulching LOL.
Each time 1 of of us got our wheels up 80% of you fell over yourselves so hard that
you allowed the other 2 or 3 of us to get our wheels up too. :lol

You may pat yourselves on the back and feel good when you've captured yet another
overwhelmed field but I say the thrill of sending you packing against incredible odds
makes for a very good night sleep indeed.  :neener:

After tripping countries for the last two tours, one thing is fact: all countries get their opportunity to horde.  If you fought them off, good for you Newz.  Always fun battling a ton of red guys!

since i started country hopping to low numbers side, i have realized that. but in mw, in the evenings, there's a rather large squad that tends to do this. they never switch.

 most populated LW arena - bish or rook #s

 less populated LW arena - nits #s

 MW arena - nit #s

 EW - chirping crickets

The trend I've noticed, unless a skwad is really trying to win teh warz!11!!, is the two countries with the numbers tend to hord the third country and totally ignore the other.

Well, I'm glad to see I didn't make an donut of myself with this post last night.
There's always a danger of that when you've made a mighty dent in a bottle
of man's finest whiskey (Crown Royal) and then decide to post.  :uhoh

It's just so rare to find yourself in the company of a few others who also
refuse to give up that I wanted to share my euphoria.

I wandered over there as well.  Had fun defending.... killed at least one POTW in that horde.
The arrival of Steve into this fray was the straw that broke the camels back. It was
quite entertaining to watch Steve dispatch one red guy after another.
Say what you want about Steve but one thing's for sure....this guy's a crack shot.

Early on I was reminded of a quote form the Lord of the Rings........

Rider of Rohan: But sire not enough have come. We cannot defeat the armies of Mordor(Bish :neener:)
King Theoden : No, no we can't. But we shall meet them in battle none the less.
Queue the "Ride of the Rohirrim" music. :cool:

When it comes to the Horde thing, some days you are the dog, some days you are the Hydrant.

I love hordes, they can make great fights IF players are willing to take a chance and defend against them.  (I'm not talking about pointlessly upping at a capped field, but responding and getting up a defense before the horde arrives.)

Few seem willing to do so lately though.

Seems to me it goes like this:

Someone calls out : "Alert Axxx big mission IB"

Other players think : "better not go there, that mission has alt, and I could get shot down, I'll go vulch/pick somewhere instead to pad my score."

What I mean is it seems like to many players are only concerned with their score, and therefore, will always join a horde, but will never defend against one. 

Granted I'm making generalizations here, but I think that that attitude definitely exists.


To each his own though, lot of ways to play the game, no right or wrong way, just different.

2 country war does not work.  It has been tested... failed badly.  Hitech will confirm this.
