If islands cause the algorithm to mess up, then Luthien and Rasalhague are going to be problems

Have you watched the Algorithm? That's not the work of a Intern. I think the more accurate title would be "The Strung Out Insane Hobo named Algorithm that you guys toss a bagel at in the morning who you let decide the attack/defend planets for the day".

That's not a very nice thing to say about Paul....

I figured it was someone starving, tis why I thought of Intern; long hours slave wage ($0), demeaned constantly, Zero Clue and eager to prove their worth.
Darth, Truth is a harsh and brutal reality

As someone inside FRR observed to me, everyone supports the underdog, no one wants to BE the underdog. We've won lots of sectors, lost lots of planets because we just don't have the headcount to oppose all the clans.

I'll be completely honest, from seeing your ranks, the majority of pilots I see from the FRR either don't play very well, or don't play enough.

I don't think that I could offer an accurate assessment of their CW structure with our limited exposure to FRR units, however.

I'm pretty sure algorithm is an intern who is only working so he can get some ramen noodles and labott blue for the day (is that what they drink in vancuover

It might also suggest your rank is over inflated due to massive pug stomping, while FRR player's ranks are under inflated due to the majority of FRR fights are against top MWO units and teams.

But the no life outside MWO factor certainly helps many players attain high ranks faster.

The way you phrase it, that time devoted to non MWO matters are a failing or vice amuses me to no end.

It sadens me to see that the Great Ghost Bear Salmon has been torn apart. What we achieved in January was great but now exists no more. This I deeply regret.

But the future will bring me satisfaction. CGB was the one who managed to bear the full might of FRR on its shoulders and came out victorious. CW and CJF can keep the planets creating the island, true, but by never matching CGB frontline performance they will struggle. Our planets and our lands around FRR capital were taken and CW has no chance to defend them after MS leaves, eventually creating a hole in CW lands and reaching up to CJF. What the bear could have contained was taken away, now it will rip you to shreds. CGB will laugh, defend its own and get back a planet or two from time to time. But for CW there are some sad times ahead.

And I will be standing on the side lines and enjoying the view.

Mordin Ashe, your opinion of course.

My opinion is,Clan Wolf fought 80 days without the help of comp teams, or -MS- and their allies.

After 80 days we held a considerable amount of planets while squeezed between friendly factions.

I am sure we can hold our own.

Welcome -MS- and allies.

Its life,we win some we lose some.

Clan Wolf can fo with some breathing space ,its been a hard start for us. Were happy with our resilience.

I think for a few attack phases we should clean up those Ghost Bear planets in that island. They are slowing us down from moving forward.

How cute, guess you guys have to finally get back for the butt kicking dealt both in and out of CW for so long... TO bad most of the comp units that made Ghost Bear great at the go no longer care. So have fun being the lord of the pugs.

There are ups and there are down. And have been in the past. In a solid all-in Clan assault against the IS CW did very well (and is doing quite well even now), but under focused pressure CW was pushed back much further than any other Clan. What I fear is that such situation will rise again. When we erradicate FRR from the map for good this weekend it will be CW who will be alone and facing many solid units FRR has. Again, it will not be the general Is resistance but many solid FRR units focusing all their efforts on one CW world - simply because they will have no other target to hit. That is where I fear another danger might be.

And when it happens I will be there. I made perma contract with CW yesterday and I plan to get my another rank 20 as part of CW. This whole situation for me is not about some past transgressions or anything, but more like predicting what will I be fighting in the near future. I just happen to be quite sure about my predications

I am looking at the map, at Rasalhague borders with CGB as well, so they should bear the burden with us.

And it is going to be even rougher for them, as without MS and CI they have few numbers, probably the fewer numbers of loyalists in any Clan, sadly.

..Did i read it correctly? Perma contract? I admit i am surprised

On the contrary, you generally earn less LP for a pugstomp than for an organized team. It takes a modicum of organization and at least some skill to be that team that gives you the bend-but-don't-break rounds that make for huge scores.

The best matches (for LP gain) are often pug games against 12 mans, as they offer a good balance of time against targets and organization, allowing for individual pilots to make a serious impact.

Oh and I feel like I should address the whole 'no life' bit: I had absolutely no intention of bringing up anyone's habits, I was merely pointing out that there seemed to be a large number of low-ranked FRR pilots.

Don't think so. Between Kodiak and CGBI, the bears still have a good number of loyalists.

Cimarb, a member of CGBI, admitted that without the mercs, they have a low number of players in CW, this is what i base my assumption on.

MS took some of CGBI's active CW players which reduced their numbers further. With CK split now they will be a huge asset for the faction though if they are indeed going to be permanent there. Honestly if they are permanent/loyalist then CGB will be better off than they used to be when MS and CI left and can probably survive just fine on their own even if mercs do not plan on regularly staying there anymore.
