Can I infer from your post that you/LHDD do not agree with my sentiment on this subject? Do you have people outside the games giving advice to your teams?
Yes, you can infer that I do not agree with your sentiment on this subject.
And yes it did happen on some occasion that people outside the game gave advice about a move or a particular situation.
I got no problem disclosing it as I don't see a particular issue with that.
It's not smthg that happens often, during most wars it doesn't happen, and most people don't ask about do it either.
But myself sometimes I've asked "what do you think, would you try that or that ? "
Can be for different reasons. Sometimes because I disagree with my partner and wanted a 3rd opinion because we couldn't resolve our argument for example.
And no I don't think it's cheating or unfair. Outside players aren't logging into the game, don't participate on each move, nor are they present when the actual players play the turn. We're quite a close group and speak about our games a lot ( I mean by that, we speak about what happened, how someone threw such shitty/amazing role, how the opponents performed etc, not we speak a lot on where to deploy/attack). But then sometimes it can happen someone throw a question about a specific turn, that just goes with the flow. It happened also on game outsides of clan wars, multiplayers game or 1vs1, asking for strategic advice or not ( like chat-related or truce-related). And I never saw any of that as cheating/poor sportmanship or unfair.
@Shannon - Arama86n said that he joined in 2012 and that the events I am referring to happened a year before that.
Seeing as you joined in 2013, I'd say you are mistaken.
I wasn't there back then either ( on CC but not as active in the clan scene and not reading C&A). Thus I will not speak about the veracity of the facts. But you must know that players from both clan were warned for sitting abuse. Hence I don't think I am speaking about "absolute nonsense".
And the current clan sitting rules were created because of what happened and because of those two clans.
Know I really like what you said in your post about sitting, and @rockfist, yes i do know the truth of what Shannon is saying, but do TOFU and S&M know it ?
The only two clans that ever complained about sitting in a clan war against LHDD were... TOFU and S&M ( privately or in public, some complains were transmitted in a nicer way.) -
Oh I know the idea that KoRT and TOFU cheated their way to the top is a glamorous idea for low ranked clans of the time.
Not my point at all, I have lot of respect for the achievements of S&M and TOFU and to me they deserve all the titles/wins they got.
