i consistently place top ten. i get top 5 when ever i try and i play completly solo. how am i a looser thats whinning just making a point that you all are lame players. People with the talent of every one of you should be out there only working with new players helping to promote the game making it larger and over all more fun for everyone because there would be a tremendous serg in new players. instead you all sit around and gang up together and create stagnet game play.... congrats u guys ROCK!......
Seeing as you consider yourself among the top players, is it not your responsibility (as much as everyone else's) to always be working with new players? Yet you said you only ever work solo. How does that add up to anything but hypocrisy?

Yes, a team of players working together has a much bigger advantage over everyone else playing individually. But this game is not about solo play, and shouldn't be. Clans almost became redundant once upon a time, and this trend towards team play encourages and excites me. I like it and the challenges it offers. I'm not a fan of one clan taking the win at the end of the round, but then, the finish isn't always the most important thing. People remember the journey, not the end result.

Placing in the top ten when there are 15-20 active players doesn't really have the kick it should. The fun from this game is not about where you finish, but the means you get there, and the experience in doing so.

holby i dont claim to even be a decnt player. i get to the top ten threw hard work and running every day. The game shouldnt be played solo and teamates are a great thing fueling competition and what not. But there are now 8 out of the active 19 players.... little out of hand and like i said boring staggnet game play. as for my placing top ten with only 15 - 20 players in game (THATS MY POINT!!!!) there are only 20 players on this server because of bunch of promi snobs think they are hard core. Again way to go ur the best ..........


When you have done soemthing right, no one will know you have done anything at all

It's a shame we aren't getting new players these days. It's not our fault though, we're doin what we always do. I think it has more to do with problems with our code and game structure.

Honestly Lonewolf I'm not even working with them. Quit whining and formulate a team dude. You know whats even funner then creating a huge clan and dominating a round? Being the person, clan, or small task force that destroys all of their plans and steals the win. So man up and instead of complaining about getting your butt handed to you do something about it.

Alazar is right you know. Heart in clanned, by virtue of being a -clan-. And the great thing about having an enemy who is clanned is unlimited attacks. Which means that takedowns are just a matter of time and turns rather than skill. Which means takedowns are a sure thing, if you commit to doing it, as that jerk Holby just showed ^_^

But I do enjoy that you hold Heart's skill level in such high esteem that you admit defeat before even trying. There seems to be a lot of that going around these days.

1) Learn to count please. There are 6 of us. 2) You are whining. I don't care how good or bad you think you are, talking about how we are too big and telling us what we are doing is bad for the game is whining. History shows, if anything, that the game becomes more active when there is a challenge, like a big clan hogging all the land. So either get a team together and do something about us, like Holbs has been doing, or give up, delete, and sign up again next round. I didn't even complain as much as you are when ROME was around, and they were far more formidable than Heart is.

You didn't even see me whine this much when Holby made Emp with 95% of the talent and didn't go unbroken for 2 months forcing the game the be reset.

You learn to count.
There are 7 of you guys  :P

Also its kinda hard to even break anyone when you get standarded down to 14oo acres and have no more than 400k troops
Watching people fight is fun...
...but getting involved is so much better

Haha, yeah, learn to count! There were 8 for a bit too.

Shadow

I count 6 lol.

Holby and Genevieve made a clan with the same name, but they are not in the dominating clan.

Ah, I see the confusion. Well, as Shadow said, Holby and Genevieve made a clan called "Heart" as well. If you click on the Clan Crier though, you can easily see that the two are different. There are only 6 of us, and two fakers.

Are you really sure that's your point? This thread indicates otherwise: http://www.redwallwarlords.com/forums/index.php?topic=11786.0

These guys are only taking the top spots out of complacency on everyone else's part. It's really, really easy to take any one of them down. People don't bother because it puts them out in the open for retaliation. It also means losing at least a run's worth of work. The benefit is that it helps the rest of the players in the server. But people are all about immediate gain/loss here.

Reg has put everyone in their place, and they're too scared to venture out again.

Lonewolf is very right.
This does not involve skills.

Stacking a team is an insult to everyone around.
It says you are all to weak to play without a huge handicap.
Sure clanning is fine until your braggin that your TEAM is better than other individuals who don't have 6 people backing them up and keeping them in front of all soloists.

squad vs another squad should be encouraged.

All i see is a bunch of n00b bullies acting tough. Collect the Very Very easy victory. I know for myself that skills and handicaps are separate.
All the skills in the world can't match the advantage you ladies need and abuse.

Coding out holes in the game is the best way to do things. 
Relying an the admins to patrol is a) time consuming for the admins in question b) unreliable c) only invites conflict
There is no conflict or "I didn't know any better!" excuses with a coded in rule.

Name one member of our clan that has not proven themselves to be a very capable player. Go ahead. I'll wait.

Aren't you contradicting yourself here? If there are no skills, and we are noobs, and all the other stuff you've said, then how can we be "stacking" a team? That says a bunch of good players have gotten together to form a very good team.

As far as I'm concerned, Holbs has the right of it.
