Let me help you understand better. Capellan pilot posts here assuming Davs can read. Davs cannot read. Capellan pilot goes *smh* and posts his disappointment. Dav pilot says that assuming literacy of a Davion was a stupid idea in the first place....

Davs can read and point out that the Capellan pilot made an assumption that makes him look more than a bit silly. Second Capellan pilot doubles down on error by failing to read what the first Capellan pilot posted...

Iraqi was right, you guys have apparently forgotten how to troll properly.

Nope, you just completely misunderstood what the first Davion pilot wrote/thought. Nice try to cover for yourself and your factionmate though.

The first Davion reply was "Looks like St Ives."

Are you sure you're reading the same thread as the rest of us?

Pretty sure the scale on that is a bit off... Lighting could have been executed better too...

If you're gonna troll, at least make sure it looks good ^^

Ok, for the last two days I've looked at the CW queues, and for the most part, I've never seen more than 60 players on, is this normal now?

I think it's a combination of things. Tuk got people playing A LOT, and there was some burn out. They changed the mode selection mechanic and it has slowed CW down. And PGI went "ZOMFG we caught a haxxor with our magic haxxorfinder!!!!" and so now any time that bads facehug an enemy mech for 5 minutes and get cored out they shout "BLARGH look at the HAX!". It's just all kind of combined to put a damper on things

I personally detest the new must have a defensive battle delay mechanic. Now I have to fight twice as long to take a planet. Why not just decrease the % per win?

I think what it has done is created an apathy amongst the pugs and small groups. Now if they Log on with a few hours before ceasefire and see their planet being attacked at one or two squares, they look at it and say "Meh, they won't have time to take it, they'll get bored of ghosting" and rather than waste their time trying to engineer a matchup, they hop in the pub queue and get multiple matches quickly. Combine that with planets not meaning anything, and you have a recipe for CW malaise.

The average Davion may have a poor education, but they've got "freedom" and a great Ministry of Information, Intelligence, and Operations.

The document below is indubitably a fake, generated by the MIIO propaganda division, but you can have a look for yourself at what they claim is evidence of Maskirovka involvement:


Special Services Report: For the Director's Eyes Only

Director Shang,

It is still unclear how our "Capellan Victory on New Avalon" test footage was leaked on MercNet to Davion sympathizers. However, we assure you that Special Services Branch will find the culprit.

We have taken this opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of the video and regret to report that the impact was underwhelming. The intended audience appears to have missed overly subtle word cues buried in the carefully constructed trideo. While our department acknowledges literacy in the Federated Suns portion of space lags behind the rest of the Inner Sphere, our production crews, blessed as they are with a Capellan education, had no concept of how poor Davion reading comprehension actually is. Our cultural and educational ministries have plans to correct this unfortunate state on each of the worlds we liberate.

Until then, our most recent studies show that people raised on Davion occupied worlds associate New Avalon most closely with brightly lit fast-food restaurant signs and larger than life statues of Hanse Davion. Upon the conclusion of the pogrom currently sweeping our department, we will immediately begin work on an updated documentary, to prepare for the Chancellor's inevitable victory, long may she reign.

Most Respectfully,

Yusef Starfall
Production Lead pro tem
Chancellor's Voice

Sneaky foxes. You win this round.
