But srsly.

We're trying to defend it, but we're unreliable pirates, so youse guis should get it together and maybe pile onto this thing before it becomes Dave's new rec room.

You guys can be know as "The Confederation formerly known as the Cappellan Confederation."

Or maybe...

The Cappellan Sian Confederation.

Or maybe...


Future site of Davion Low Rent Apartments.

Can't imagine any faction or PGi for that matter thinks losing a faction is a good thing. At the rate it's going....Sigh

(but in all seriousness, we had a few really good fights tonight.)

So he changes factions like underwear.....

Underwear are worth more, to a pirate.

Actually, at this point we're the canary in the coal mine.

Lowest number of players in the critical 3 hours before planet flips, large number of people outside that time slot. We've hit that critical point where nobody really gives a flying fig anymore as I was watching Liao players sitting there fighting Clanners while Texlos ghost dropped repeatedly (and starting a defense on Texlos led to a 30-minute wait of "nobody home") on day 39.

To whit, nobody's even bothering at this point as CW only matters if you're playing 1/8 of the day. That'll likely change a bit on the 20th, but for now it's "Davion wins. Woo. Yay. " People want to actually play in CW, the action is Clan vs IS, and the results are frequently PUGs of all six IS factions just piddling around while Clanners blow holes in them.

I proceeded to go to the solo queue to get my challenge done. I saw plenty of Liao players there. Virtually none of them cared about CW at this point, and some of the comments I got were unrepeatable without plenty of censorship about not wanting to play anything that required large groups to be effective.

Sad to say wanderer, but there are a couple of reasons for it. Most of those that play in the premium time before CF are tired and/or bored with CW . There is no incentive to play CW , where the only thing that matters is population during certain times of the day, and being able to flood people in queues. The fact that defenders have been and possibly will continue to be screwed due to a system that rewards the people who are in queue first, thus the faction who floods the queues, only compounds the problem..

On several occasions on multiple forums I have posted what I think would solve a lot of issues with CW. All PGI had to do was make it so a successful defense changed the percentage, instead of it changing nothing. That way defenders always defended, unless they were in queue with no attackers then they would Counter attack. Attackers would always attack.. That way it doesn't matter who gets in queue first, defenders will defend and attackers will attack. If the defenders win they gain a piece of the pie back in their favor, if they lose, they lose a piece of the pie.

[Joe Decker]

I feel with you Liao Guys Would try to help if I could. And before CW I didn't even care for Liao... I hope you will get your People together soon and put up a good Fight !

And then hope that PGI does something about that ASAP.

The lame part was we ghost dropped on it three times before losing our 12th guy and going back to the pub cue. We came to fight, and after you show the new guys the map a few times, it's hard to keep people interested for fighting turrets.

[Karl Marlow]

Just think. After today youll be losing worlds 3 times as fast.

[DelphiAuriga]

Honestly:
Rasalhague is completely surrounded and nobody comes ever to defend or attack in our border, its just us against the world, so, man, i couldnt care less.

At least, if u loose it, u fight other IS mechs to recover, in the FRR we have to fight 3 clans at a time.

[Karl Marlow]

I good lord. You picked the faction that is dead center in front of the clan freight train the whine at everyone else for not defending you. I'm beginning to agree with Roadbeer and say to hell with FRR.

[Haakon Magnusson]

Quit yer whining and get back to the battle... Clans / IS does not matter... enemy at the gates, give them hell.
(And looking at Qs, guess I need to fill in for other parts of clan front)

[SnowFox]

No offense to the FRR guys but I kinda saw the clan stomp coming when news of CW first was a thing............

Kudos to the chaps who choose to play ultra hard mode though.

[Grynos]

You can blame lore and/or PGI for that. PGI could have spread out the clans around the Inner Sphere yet they chose not to. Perhaps it was due to lore, but in all honesty it was a poor decision on PGI's part for CW.

[Jacob Side]

Our dog is dragging his butt all over your carpet. You don't want this place back, we trashed the place.

[MrWhite]

*yawn* have it for all I care cause honestly my computers hard drive crashed and when I get it back up and running I dunno if I'll even be bothered to reinstall this mess, been having more fun with Elite Dangerous... Enjoy the urban mech and jumping madcats and daishis guys... GG Close...
