I agree and disagree. I slowed down on my activity because I was unsure of how to continue with this chapel attack. But I agree with Yato that you mass recruited, taught the basics of the game, but never actually unified us in a fight. It was all independent attacks, with no actual teamwork. I have come to understand the chapel flash as a strategy, and it's helped me out when I was fighting AoW. And how dare you call the Shields a family? We were anything but that. We were a bunch of people that you brought together, but we never actually got to know each other. I have no personal beef with you, Rack, as you taught me the basics of the game and how to do things, but you really need to find something else to do other than be pissed with Yato. Just drop it.
I didn't call the Shields a family .. I was quoting Yato's reference to it. Go back up and see that Yato was the one that used that phrase, and I was just quoting him.
In the beginning of the game, what kind of detailed attacks would you have liked me to teach? Back then, it was all I could do to stop people from arguing over who's going to take what barb and where, when some people didn't want too many barbs taken and others wanted to scoop up every barb.
The structure of play was different in the beginning, than in the middle or end. As you know, I did a voice server and spoke to people verbally. We would have regular meetings. I would idle in it for 18 hours a day. And you you are saying I didn't do enough?
The chapel/Flash may or may not be looked at as a "strategy" - However, in the near 300 people in the 2 tribes of Shield, when asked, no one knew about using the chapel to attack. Moreover, please don't make me explain this all over again, as it is already written elsewhere in this forum, but I will give you the highlights: 300 people, no one knew (or at least expressed knowledge of it when asked); It is, in my opinion and others who were in these regular voice meetings, a huge flaw in the game, and we discussed whether we wanted to waste our lives on a flawed game - the consensus was to not continue playing if this was the case with the chapel; --- No where in the rules, does it show that the chapel can be used this way... No one prepared for it. On the contrary, before the Wiki was edited after this "incontinent," it stated very clearly in the Wiki that the Chapel can only be built once. ; No one wanted to play after learning about the Chapel Attack / Flash / etc. - It had nothing to do with Kings, other than they are the ones that used it and brought it to our attention.
"I have come to understand ... " well, sure you have. So have I. When it is explained as a "strategy" - as it SHOULD HAVE BEEN in the rules of the game, it's easy to understand. Hindsight is 20/20.
"Teamwork" - I set up "Captains" / "Lieutenants" of areas. I set up the forums. I set up outside forums. I set up a voice server., where anyone could come and verbally talk to me at anytime -and I encouraged them to do so. - Don't tell me that I didn't teach anyone anything. - If anything, people did not want to learn. They didn't know that there were completely obsessed individuals who use several people's accounts to play, and who spend nearly 24 hours a day doing nothing else in life but to play this game or post in it's forums. -- They thought it was a "casual" game, when I knew how serious some people take it. I was trying to save these "casual" players from those who took it much more seriously - And I was also trying to set up an opposition to AoW/GoW who had something like 5 total tribes, with something like 1000 players. I saw them as a major threat who needed a response of similar nature .. i.e. a MRA / MRT. Kings was also invited into the MRA/MRT but Yato wanted to be top dog, and betrayed a cease-fire by using the Chapel Attack / Flash. People quit; Yato scooped up the remainder (recruited) and continued on. ---- So, in other words, I "mass recruited" in response to AoW/GoW's mass recruiting, as an opposition to them. And then later Yato mass-recruited the rest. (he's no longer a 10 man team of players he started with, or hasn't anyone noticed)
As far as me being mad at Yato - I had and have right to be. - You, and the rest of Kings have NO IDEA who you are dealing with when it comes to Yato. His "obsession" with the game knows no limits. According to the 1400-ish sabotage spies he has sent my way over the last 6 days.. Using not only his account, but very likely LadyDennise's - and constant round-the-clock attack, not to mention the over 1500 forum posts in this forum. -- Has anyone given a thought to how much time he must spend on this game to run more than one account, launch round the clock attacks from several accounts, make 1500 forum posts, etc? -- Is there some hidden Million dollar prize for spending 2 years of your life doing nothing but this game that I don't know about?
You all need to rethink the stability of your "leader." And while you are at it, reconsider what kind of integrity both him and others in Kings must have to "account sit" - or, it may be more accurate to say, "Multi-account" - several long-gone players accounts. - Are you winning? Or are you "manipulating the system?" (as a euphemism for a word that starts with "C")
If Yato taught anyone anything, the biggest thing he has taught is lack of integrity.
