now back to the subject...

It was part of the agreement that there would be random games...all fine and dandy. No spoils is another issue...when you are playing random maps with no spoils and your team goes second 3 out of 4 games, it tends to get a little lopsided.

We will give you everything we have...and it seems unlikely we will win this war. Perhaps we will a little respect, some experience, and we will continue to haunt you like MNDukes frig magnets. :lol:

going first is overrated. most of the time it does not even translate into an advantage at the end of the round.
Here is where going first matters the most
- 1v1 and some dubs games (small # players+ large number terts magnifies this effect)
-quads on small maps (increased chance of rnd 1 elimination)
-manual games (not a factor in this war)
-unlimited forts (not really a factor)
-some say foggy games but i find that argument specious


Really a bunch of extreme examples, and many stay away from these settings in a clan war on purpose to minimize the going first effect. In most of the other games possible (trips and quads on reasonable sized maps for instance) , going first really isnt that much of a factor in the outcome as any single 0-2 roll suffered by either team. It is just a matter of perspective.

in any of those 4 losses you mentioned, it could have been an 0-4 turn in round 4 that really sunk you guys, not who went first. it could be 2pr in round 11 that cost you the game. by that point, which team went first is merely insignificant.

The 'they got to go first' argument is getting old, it is tired, and not really supported by any evidence saying that it plays a defining role in the outcome of games lasting longer than say, 10 rounds.

In our war, in those games, these are the luck factors that played a much greater role: map size chosen by random, strategically advantageous drop for one team, and dice. To me, these play a much much greater role that simply 'who went first'

Im awesome. just ask me

My damn vacation is getting in the way of my quality smack talk. I've only had time to take turns!! and I've been at my drinking best too! I could have left a few gems for you guys!

on to business.... and let the long winded one begin:

So after your complaints about the random stuff and us getting games we farm on and we go first every time and how your sister's brother's girlfriend's goldfishes, father's pet dog's cousin hit the "end turn" button before you could fort and how that stuff isn't fair, etc... etc...and blah blah blah

we may do even better in round 2! That's just sad boys and Queen Tammy! Sad sad sad.
I would hate getting a ban and a few C+A's about me for farming now. Please for the love of God let us bring in the mercy rule!
This is painful to watch!
Just kidding guys....well not really. :D

To save you some pain. Maybe next time when you are down to 1 region each and we all have 30 regions you could deploy and just end as opposed to attacking. we're pretty drunk most of the time but I don't think we can blow leads like that!!! :roll:

As for my boys who set up that hive game.
That deserves a C+A as well IMO.
That's just awful!
How bout this. If you win the hive game, we'll give you 20 wins for that game alone!
That would mean at the end of this entire challenge you guys would hit almost 40 wins and some respect from the other clans!!!

as it stands, rumor has it that the Legion has just fallen to 85th on the overall clan chart. Just behind of that cook guy with 9 cc points who has started a clan of one!!
:lol:

And for you C9 who says we should wait til the end b4 talking smack.... Shame on you good sir. We FOED boys are good at two things: Smack talk and smack talk.
The fact Fen has been signing in for all of us and taking every single turn in this entire challenge so far is the only reason we are really winning!

thank you fen. Your social life is non-existent but you are one hell of a sitter for 35 guys. I applaud you good sir.

Looking forward to rd 3 boys and gal!
Yours very truly,
King of the s*** talk
Luke (the better Luke---the one who actually makes sense even with a blood alcohol level of .25)...that's right LFAW...i'm talking to you buddy! Get cheme or culs to proofread your response before hitting "submit" please :D

What's that I hear in the distance?? I think i hear Freddy Mercury!!!!???
*I've paid my dues.........
FOED ARE THE CHAMPIONS MY FRIEND.
THE LEGION WILL KEEP FIGHTING UNTIL THE END
BUT WE HAVE DICE WITH 9'S AND 10'S. THEIR DICE ARE ON THE MEND
NO TIME FOR MORE RANDOM GAMES CAUSE WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS....

I'm thinking after this win, our clan rank will probably go down 10 as we didn't win by 40 games :( sigh (hehe...that's funny!)

PS: in real seriousness I hope you had an amazing vacation cheme. Sounds like the trip of a lifetime. Hope you had amazing weather all the way thru. cheers

Hello out there!


The games are resuming presently. The last few days delay has been my fault. The tax season hit my business hard and I had to help my partner with some other matters on top of my usual caseload. But now, I am back and all games have been exchanged.

No worries - real life comes before CC and I'm sure everyone from both clans will agree with this.

Take your time as far as I'm concerned... I'm down to 10 active games (from about 250 this time 6 months ago!!) :D

Let me preface this by saying that you guys are playing great and it seems that you have really gelled as a unit...but I have never in my time here on CC seen things go this sideways in a clan war. It seems like every time I need some even 'okay' dice they fail me. Celtic Nations...small map, had a bonus, lost 3 straight double rolls on a pivotal turn...game over. Not all the dices fault. I will admit that since we fell so far behind after the Random section every turn seems like a panic and I think we are trying to make up for that with prayers to the CC gods that are going largely unanswered! Oh well, at least margin of victory does not influence the ladder ;)

Good luck to all in the final set.
