Topic: Tyrant / Poor Warlike Brother :(

Lets assume for a minute that WB eradicates The Alliance and cements its name as the best faction in Tyrant.

Will WB attack weaker factions just to end stagnation?

Will WB attack its own allies and try to eradicate them as well?

I’m genuinely curious.

i’m surprised this thread hasn’t degenerated into an “evil alliance” thread.

+1 Anyone can suggest improvements. If site owner does not approve it, then there’s really nothing one can do about it. It is his site, his rules.

Constantly complaining just makes one a whining troll who has comprehension problems.

Or someone who is willing to stick to his guns and stand up for his principles. Ya know those that wanted to free the slaves were actually a minority. They worked hard for it and made it happen. But then again, you would just call them “whiny trolls”.

You dont own the site. The owner of the site has the sole authority to do what he wants since HE OWNS IT.

On the other hand, people cannot be owned. It is morally wrong.

What is morally wrong with a person who can LEGALLY do what he wants with what he owns? Nothing.

Its like telling the owner of a pink ferrari to paint it back to red. It may be an eyesore to you but he can LEGALLY do what he wants with it because HE OWNS IT. There’s simply nothing you can do about it.

Stop whining and let the owner of the site do what he wants on a site HE OWNS.

by your math stinks of account sharing?….remind me to never let you do my taxes.The tile war was during a very active time for us .face it our members care about our faction and we will not let each other down.we do NOT account share.ive been in this faction for four months and can from the bottom of my heart say I dont know of a single time an account was shared while ive been here,if things happened before that let it go those players either dont play anymore or now in your faction

I have done conquest for a while now and there is that one person (usually me) who doesn’t like to go into a specific chat and will get a random loss.

Add this to one of the reasons why you are doing poorly in CQ.

As i said current cq design will lead most probably every time to such end.
And as MSU said you might not need precious tokens, but i for one do, and im not alone. Specially with lower activity bc of exam time, it was quite comfortable.
Anyway i dont think i can discuss anything with you now since its past 1am and i dont feel like useful for today.

Also, let’s agree that the strongest faction should survive and be rewarded.

No. The faction that should be rewarded the most should be the faction that best plays the game.

An analogy would be the 2011 Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks. Miami had the best players comparatively but Dallas had the best strategy. The Mavs won.

Face it, ever since the implementation of CQ, this game is about skill, strategy AND DIPLOMACY.

Don’t like the diplomacy aspect? Blame the devs and not the players… or go find another game.

Skill, strategy, and diplomacy? I urge you to look up these words in a dictionary. Conquest involves non of these.

No. It involves the three of these. It just so happens that you have none of these whatsoever\.

Topic: Tyrant / RIP The Retirement Home

English not so good.

Bottomline: WB are complaining on what is happening to TRH when TRH themselves just “sit back and relax” and are not whining.

Seems this is just a whining thread. Time to lock! :D

Topic: Tyrant / RIP The Retirement Home

To summarize:

Warlike Bros: TRH QQ!! TRH this. TRH that. Complain complain. Whine. Blame everyone but themselves.
TRH: MEH! We are cool with what is happening. We are relaxed.

It is obvious who is blowing this out of proportion.

Time to close this thread.

Topic: Tyrant / Evil and Eviler Alliances

“The Evil Alliance are evil because they formed an alliance in order to get more tiles.”

“Since forming an alliance is against the spirit of the game, let’s also form an alliance to counter the alliance.”

“Decent factions, form an alliance so the devs will know that forming alliances is bad!”

LOLOLOLOLOLZZZZZ!!!!

The name of the game of conquest is strength, strategy AND diplomacy. Deal with it.

Topic: Tyrant / [Guide] Warswapping 2.0

So Griever is basically WRONG. It’s a trade-off between FP and advantage for the faction with higher FP.

Topic: Tyrant / The "Ask OOH" thread

Lolz! This thread is entertaining. Here are some Tyrant questions. All legitimate questions, BTW.

Did Warlike Brother make the correct strategy by having allies who do not help them?

What evidence does OOH have when he says that Ateneo is an ALT?

Topic: Tyrant / The "Ask OOH" thread

Thank you for your quick (and long) reply.

I do agree with you on several points (alts and anything related to it, cheating). I myself am wondering why Tyrant Devs have been allowing it. At the very least, they should issue a statement regarding alts.

Now, if the Devs say that alts are ok, then we have to live with that. If the Devs say that it is against the TOS to have alts, then i’m sure that the evidence you have collected will be more than enough to ban the faction that is doing it. Amarite?

However, I do disagree with you on having 5 factions attacking 1 faction. In a war, it is normal for friends to band together to achieve a certain goal. Now, if your friends don’t want to help you, how is that the problem of your enemies? You chose your friends and, unfortunately, they dont want to help you. It seems like you are just qqing because you chose the wrong strategy (or implemented it poorly).

By the way, I was curious about Warlike Brother. Thank you for clarifying that:

a) you are delusional by calling me an alt (ive been posting for almost two years)
b) loco for implying that i am from a “Better” faction (never been, never will)
c) qqing because you employed the wrong strategy and lost

On the positive side, you are against alts and cheaters. Points to you on that. :)

Topic: Tyrant / The "Ask OOH" thread

Since you asked me to post the questions here… well, here it is.

Why is the alliance evil?

Do you have any allies as well or are you fighting the “evil alliance” by your lonesome?

Does injustice mean a group of factions who banded together to gain tiles? Is there a specific rule in tyrant that bans this?

Mind you, I am asking for the official statement of WB and not your own personal opinion (which is weird since the other thread is the official WB thread and this is your personal thread).

Topic: Tyrant / [To Devs] Conquest Alliancing

Actually, Evo called their friends, Warmongers, to help in their war vs TASW. So when Warmongers and Evo attacked, TASW had no choice but to call in their friends as well. TASW could have attacked EVO with all their allies before but didnt. It was only when Warmongers was brought in that the allies decided to help.

I do not think having allies is an abuse of the system. Also, there is absolutely no rule on having a maximum number of allies. Therefore, if you think having too many allies is wrong, then say that the system is flawed… but don’t call it an abuse since there isnt any :D

Topic: Tyrant / [To Devs] Conquest Alliancing

So much mention about TASW. Bah.

Bottomline, we have lost many tiles but you do not see us QQing. ;)

Our NAP with Evo was cancelled as per the guidelines set by both factions… even Propo acknowledges this. So no issues there.

Leave us out of this drama :D

Thanks!
