Topic: Tyrant / [Recruitment] Pwnersaurus Rex: Competitive, upper-tier faction seeking interesting, active, articulate players

AHHHH! I missed the Pip bumps, now I’m sad. D:

P-rex has recently had a few upstanding (relatively) members of its community decide to quit Tyrant. They had a good run. But now, somebody has to fill their shoes! Do you have what it takes?

Doubtful… as our requirements are esoteric, inscrutable, and yet vacuous all at the same time.

Rise to the challenge! Apply to P-rex today!

Topic: Tyrant / [Disbanding] Soldiers of Fortune

P-rex wishes you all the best (even though you stole our CerealBaby)! I’ve only personally interacted with a few of you, but those that I have dealt with have all been stand up people (except CerealBaby, but you weren’t responsible for his creation). Sorry to see you go, but I’m sure you’ll all find good homes. :)

Topic: Tyrant / Happy Holidays from the Evil and Eviler Alliances!

Well, I’ve been mostly away for the holidays, so coming back to this was a surprise. I don’t have much time now, but I think as acting head of P-rex, it is my duty to try to post something. First of all, I think billyandy and bilious’s posts on the previous page were both reasonable and level-headed. I thank them for posting and I think P-rex stands by the sentiments they expressed.

A quick note (haha, for those that know me, this will likely be a tldr post for many :P ) regarding some other issues…

The Xmas treaty breaking by 0’0’0:
it looks to me like 0’0’0 made a mistake based on multiple factors including their language barriers, general communication issues in their alliances forums, and a possibly very honest misunderstanding of the truce. They seem to have owned up to this and have taken the appropriate actions (releasing tiles back to TiM). Good on you guys for fixing things.

The Xmas treaty breaking by P-rex:
-This has mostly been talked about to death, but yes, P-rex attacked a 0’0’0 tile that they took from TiM during the truce time. It was a decision made by a warmaster when none of our conquest strategy officers were on (due to the holidays). As far as I can tell, P-rex sought out communication with 0’0’0 and both sides of the alliance through /w, PM, and forum posting (and received no solid feedback which is understandable being Xmas and all), and I’m 100% confident they would have backed off the attack if a resolution/understanding was reached. Numerous people in P-rex assumed TiM was allied with us, so those members that were online thought it was an even stronger breach of the truce than merely attacking a neutral foe. Either way, what’s done is done, and things are being resolved and we apologize for our part in this “drama.”
-regarding the TiM tile not being dropped, as Golden said on the previous page, our leader-in-title (awalters) sometimes doesn’t log on or check messages for days or weeks at a time, so we apologize for our slowness. TiM should feel free to contact and coordinate with us as we are doing our best to make the tile available in whatever ways we can.

Regarding the flaming on this thread:
-We can be better than that. Emotions were running high, I understand, but let’s relax a little and have fun in Tyrant (or not if you are avoiding Tyrant for the holidays, then enjoy your family and friends!).
-Note (like bilious and others have pointed out) that most (all or almost all) written attacks against 0’0’0 are being done by people NOT in P-rex, but people are assuming these are P-rex members. Please look them up on fansite before assuming someone making a statement against 0’0’0 is P-rex (see iofstorm above assuming OOHnirav is in P-rex when he isn’t for a recent example).

Regarding the previous conquest map:
-This is perhaps the saddest part of the whole ordeal, the most misunderstood, and the least relevant to this thread. I don’t think airing that laundry here is a good idea, so I don’t wish to go into the nitty-gritty details here, but I do want to say the following. I firmly believe almost nobody has the whole story about what happened in the craziness on the last map in our area prior to the reset (including me). I have about 4-5 dozen PMs in that last 2-3 days on the old map trying to figure out what was going on. We were having trouble communicating with 0’0’0 because none of them were responding to PMs and those responding to /w seemed to be having trouble with English. P-rex felt that 0’0’0 was ok with a certain course of action based on /w with 1 or more of their officers, and less than 24 hours later it appeared that this was not the case. We completely understand why 0’0’0 felt slighted by this, but it was a misunderstanding. If 0’0’0 has a member or officer that speaks English exceptionally well and would like to open a discourse with me about this, please send me a PM. I’ve done this with a couple officers shortly after the event, but either things weren’t communicated back to the faction, or English was a barrier in our discussion.

Enjoy the holidays! Less QQ, more pew-pew!

Disagree.
Evocati and Pwnersaurus Rex have been stealing tiles, at least.

P-rex got in their invasion before the NAP time (which is easy enough to check).

Edit Looks like Evocati got their invasion in way before the NAP time as well. Then it looks like maybe 0’0’0 broke truce by attacking just a little bit ago (3-4 hours after truce time) and then Evocati has responded? I’m not in either Evo or 000, so just basing this off a quick look at the map (and the above comments).

I’d like to thank following players for making my time here more enjoyable, I wish I could meet them irl:
OOHnirav, PlasmaSeattle, discowookie, retsamerol, TheRealPip, ralkkdillon, inorix, zaraki, kungfumonkeymike, wandomguy, my secret crush ladolcevita, almost everyone from Prex and LoA, and a bunch of others I have forgot to name.

My worst moments without a doubt were my drunken rants/brawls vs kfmm, ralkkdillon and 0hio.
My best moments were the times at LoA and my MoM sabotage.

Awwww, I thought I would be numb to the real retirement after so many fake-outs. :/

As far as our “brawl,” I think in the end it made us closer than most lovers. Can’t beat that.

And +1 to your amazing ability as a saboteur.

I think this is for the best, though, you bitter old man. ;) Enjoy yourself!

We still have a spot remaining. Join us for some Conquest fun. I also quoted Billy to show how mean he is. You probably want to apply with a PM to me and not Billy. Rage issues, that boy.

I bet in 10 min you’ll have conquest that tile too…

We can’t not win, because of the protect. So of course we’ll take it.

Oh yeah…this isn’t cheating…so you’ll already have 8+ CR at the end of the day…you did an error, you pay….or getting banned (stop conquest for some time) or don’t conquesting so waiting 3hs of protect

What aapje is saying is that if we sit and don’t attack the tile, we can’t go in the direction we want (have to wait 24 hours to attack the same tile again because it is “protected” from us). We would love for the Devs to fix this and move everyone back to where they were about 30 or so minutes ago. That would be optimal.

And in a race to the center, it is fastest to tell officers/warmasters to just try to attack when they log on (in case they are the first officer on) and check the timer that way. It is a faster way to start a legitimate conquest (or check the timer if you have a timer). It gives you the time, why not use it? And it only takes one officer to check that way (even if 20 other officers checked faction info and did the math).

We posted immediately when it happened, we would like this to be fixed.

How can you ACCIDENTALLY click on next tile???

It is pretty easy… people do it to check the timer. Especially officers that have been offline. They are told to start Conquests immediately, so they often pop into map and click to see if they can start one, and if not, it tells them when they can.

Topic: Tyrant / [Recruitment] Pwnersaurus Rex: Competitive, upper-tier faction seeking interesting, active, articulate players

We currently have 1-2 open slots. If you are interested in joining, your first test is to scan this thread and write me a worthy application PM. :D

We just about built a newer, larger stealth bomber on the expanded map, but with the reset coming we stopped construction. Want to help us build our next bit of Conquest iconography? Apply within!

Topic: Tyrant / Consortium List: A Call to Nominees

Sorry, was mostly gone all weekend. Definitely appreciate the votes of confidence, and I would like to do it in theory, but my free time is limited at the moment, and I’m worried I wouldn’t be able to do as good of a job as I’d like. Seems like we have a solid enough list of nominees, though, so I don’t think I’ll be missed. ;)

We already filled one of the spots that we didn’t even officially announce yet! Not many left. D: Waiting until the official announcement might not be the best idea…

Take care, lizard, best of luck wherever you end up!

Topic: Tyrant / Need a faction with tiles

Actually, Viiew came to room 12 to be interviewed. I think I scared him away. He was doing fairly well and then got hung up on a Starship Troopers question and never responded anymore.

Topic: Tyrant / [Recruitment] Pwnersaurus Rex: Competitive, upper-tier faction seeking interesting, active, articulate players

Have you ever sat around wondering what it would be like to be in the most competitive faction in Tyrant?

Have you ever sat around wondering what it would be like to be in the faction with the most FP in Tyrant?

Have you ever sat around wondering what it would be like to be in the faction with the most Conquest tiles?

Have you ever sat around wondering what it would be like to be in the faction with the most drama in Tyrant?

If so, sorry for distracting you!

If instead, you are looking for a faction of (reasonably) cognizant, cogent, and cogniferous members of the oldest active faction in Tyrant who like to chat and discuss the merits of various movies, philosophers, My Little Pony characters, board games, and play some Tyrant at the same time, you’ve come to the right place!

We currently have 1-2 openings… and a purple stealth bomber:

All interested parties should send me a PM with your basic Tyrant info, whether you prefer Tesla or Edison (and why), the merits (or fallacies) of Keynesian economics, your thoughts on Starship Troopers (the movie) as a satire, your favorite board game (or why you hate board games), your thoughts on the nature of reality, and what you want to be when you grow up.

Lost a tile with 2 minutes to go, and lost an invasion by 8 fights or so! The Tebow is strong with you. Well done, SoF, it was a great 6 hours! Friendly bump ;).

Agreed! I wish at least one of those close calls would have come out in P-rex’s favor, but it was fun either way. Bump for some fights well fought. :)

In memory of Pip

Thank you, sir. I’m not sure if Pip was P-rex’s heart or not, but he was probably at least our spleen (an under-appreciated organ if there ever was one).

Topic: Tyrant / [From Pip] A thread for farewells.... v2

Pip, you joined Pwnersaurus Rex just a couple weeks before me if I remember correctly. I’ve had a blast travelling up through the “ranks” with you. I know that you’ll be missed by everyone in faction, and I think you should have probably been paid for all the work you did for the community and developers as well.

One of the kindest and classiest guys out there, and Pwnersaurus Rex has been honored to have him for so long (even if he can’t type very well sometimes… good job spell-checking your farewell post, though!). ;)

If there are significant game changes, you’ll likely see your inbox fill up with P-rexers trying to lure you back. It is good to quit if you aren’t having fun, though, stay in touch!

Topic: Tyrant / [Recruitment] Pwnersaurus Rex: Competitive, upper-tier faction seeking interesting, active, articulate players

Thanks Kadvael! If you stick with the game for a while, feel free to look us up. :)

Also, still 1 slot available. Must be mature (sort of) and have solid grammar (exception if you are named Pip).

Topic: Tyrant / adamantite armor is trololo

Eduard Khil has been cloned and placed in suits of armor for the joy of all Tyrant players?

R.I.P. Mr. Khil, but know that your “adamtite” (somebody give Cerealbaby typing lessons) clones will live on.

EDIT: Cerealbaby has sinced fixed his “adamtite” typing error, but everyone must know his failure. Never forget, or Cerealbaby wins.

Topic: Tyrant / A Question for the WBer's out there...

I think the time frame theory may be correct for cars I pass on the highway also. For example, when awakening came out I spam passed 6 cars (yes, I drive fast sometimes) and passed 2 red cars and 2 blue cars and 2 other cars.
