What matters more than our dots on the map is the fact we face roll our enemies to the point they dread playing against us. When CW started, NS fought tooth and nail against a losing clan front. The clanners commended our skill and matches. Even if you happen to outnumber us, you are going to get rolled in every real match against our TS units, but until then, we are closing the wormhole if you like it or not.

It's only $1 for members of House Marik

So we should have been charging them 1$ per match for all the dickpunching we did tonight? Damn, we gave it away for free

Yes but what about when MS leaves CGB here in a bit?

When you look at the telemetry it favors a population shift away from Kurita and towards its enemies. Adaptation skill progression, as in the speed at which above average people adapt existing skillsets to related challenges is a pretty fast curve. It won't take long for Marik to get up to speed against Kurita, who plays a very different sort of game than they're used to. Marik coordinates tactics well and has a lot of units with thick populations that can share tactics.

Not charting anything but I don't find it a tough guess to make. I'd put money on it.

I think there's some misunderstanding. German Clan Ghost Bear and Russian Clan Ghost Bear have traditionally attacked CSJ more often than MS does. They simply decide that they either want a Kurita lane or "retribution" for some incursion from weeks ago and attack without bothering to say anything to CSJ.

Kurita is also a lot of fun to drop with, honestly. People may get rustled by some of their posters, but it's hardly driving away people who actually talk and play with them.

Good mercs focus on getting the job done. Don't hold stuff like that against mercs; business is business. The bigger question is of the merc units who've left Kurita how many will come back?

You can't afford me.

Funny thing part deux.

They call this a sneak attack, I warned them about it over a week ago.

Lol holy ****, the straw grasping in this thread is over 9000. Good to know the next time i need my future told i can ask any davion or Marik player and they will pull a story out of their asses and claim it to be the future


Heres reality. Marik worm hole dies by sunday before the marik mercs come home from FRR and having no attack options left the wat dies off. Davion does what its good at and losses a handful of planets to every faction around it. Steiner gets farmed by the Jade Falcons as it has for weeks. CSJ and HK trade planets but nothing really moves on this front. And then for the next 2 weeks davion and marik on the forums be like "omg HK losing to the clans forever".

Possibly, but the question is, does this stop at the wormhole? I mean, tempers are flared, Qs are Qing, and the jimmies are rustled.

I am very disappoint.

Again, y'all giving me too much credit.

Tell some more ableist jokes though, like you do in the matches, they're adorable.

In terms of population of CGB attacking CSJ though, MS being somewhere else affects available CSJ pretty heavily, especially in NA timeframe.

Glad you're having fun with them. I have a lot of respect for a large number of Kurita pilots.

You're not a good example of the experience everyone has when dealing with Kurita though; hence, well, this whole situation.

So you want to take the bet? Kurita going to win out in the end? 30 days from now, Kurita is ahead of the game? There is the potential of them closing the worm hole but Marik is only 2 worlds through Davion/Steiner away from being back in the same place.

Davion is beefing back up population wise, has some great people coming back to it and that pleases me considerably. This though...

how was anyone surprised?

so the TLDR of the 11-12 pages is: marik will now hold 5 units of DCMS hostage every night so that the clans, dav, and steiner can grin thru them again. sound fun, I like trying out different units to fight.

5?? I'm prettty sure Marik holds just 2 planets now. Once SEA ceasefire is over it will be just 1 planet.

We won't be able to fight you again after the wormhole closes until one of us takes the Davion world that will be separating us.

Hahaha, I was actually describing a hypothetical situation to demonstrate that no matter how many scrubs you can throw at our borders, we will keep rolling the people who we drop against. Reading comprehension FTW

So you're hypothetically moving the goal post to feel better when you lose all your planets? Okay, however you want to sell that.

Davion wasn't even part of the thought process.

The posting habits of Kurita's "Leaders" (except Ikka, he's cool) and "Ambassadors" (who waste hours of talking but deliver nothing) and their arbitrary actions that make a 14 year old girl ordering off a menu, downright predictable, are what got us here. Our members grew weary of the lack of respect we've been shown regardless how many times we rallied to their defense, only to watch them run to the complete opposite border.

Perhaps considering the benefit of your disharmony TO the Suns would have been wise. Yes, you have good reason to be angry. Clearly, the friction between Marik and Kurita has created sparks and discontent.

Did you perhaps consider asking someone else to look at the problem between you, one you -both- have treaties and trust with? No. You puffed up your chest, Kurita has stiffened their scales, and now we have two of the great states brawling like barbaric brats.

You have legitimate grievances. The Combine now does as well. Perhaps rather than throwing harsh words and PPC bolts across each other's borders, you could instead sit down somewhere else and tell your august neighbor who has great interest in the further prosperity of both of you, preferrably not at the cost of each other, of such concerns in detail where they might be arbitrated rather than dueled over for points lost to either and gained only by your mutual enemies.

Be specific. Be rational. Do not descend into bombastic terms. Present them in the grounds where they will neither seem to be pushed into the face of the League or the Combine- rather, the halls of the Confederation. If after you discuss it there and if you feel the need for further violence against your neighbor, I would even dare say we'd help you both formally write it up so you can at least stop jumping each other's borders like Periphery pirates, or perhaps a bevy of Canopian "entertainers" having a cat-fight.

Likewise, I would invite the august and serene members of the Combine to bring their own issues to Her Wisdom's calmer shores. We will listen with interest, and perhaps we can assist the Dragon and the Eagle to find perches that neither ruffle feathers nor pour cold water upon fire. Given our size, it is obvious that we have no intention on forcing either of you into anything, but only to give you a calmer set of hands to guide this to a mutually beneficial resolution.

Were you also only pretending to get owned by us like 10 matches in a row?

This is pretty accurate. We had hoped to be able to divert more forces to the clan front sooner but Marik is slowing this down significantly.
