 You know what made other times more fun?

There were a majority of clans and most of them had one good/great player to represent them and help them in the top 10. Then there were lower members to work their way up.

Now these good players decided that rather than "waste" turns battling each other, they could join together and face little opposition. That's the problem.

Who wouldn't like to see clans lead by Wolf and Peace dueling? Or battles between Windhound and Holby? Ereptor and Kilk?


That is, quite simply, RWL's problem.

 Hmmm
It would be cool to see that type of clan trend return.
At the same time, though, a big part of that is that those who used to be rank and file clan members have gotten really good through experience, so they don't cover as much of a span of ranks as they used to.

 Yeah. The game is almost separated into classes. A lot of really good people and a lot of really bad people. Not many in between. I don't think we can return to how it was, because there are too many good people. Can't have clans led by the good ones anymore cause there wouldn't be enough people for all the clans. I think the bes option is the emp. clan. Puts all the Exceptional pnes together and all the good ones can gang up on em. I don't know where the bad ones fit in though.

 The Emp clan is simply a version of Rome. We've all seen how that can work out.

And there are enough great players to lead clans. Unfortunately none of them care fight to against one another.

The idea would still work seeing as although the players have generally improved, these "good" players make up clan filling members. There skill, although improved, is still relatively "low" as the rest of the top players have improved.

 I agree with Fun for None- times were really fun when all of the good players were in different clans. Still, it's always fun to go against the toughest people in the game- even though I know I'll lose, it's only till Sunday, so I don't care at all. Also, in case anyone was wondering who I am, I'm Terra Cotta Soldiers (#426).

 I agree that after all the fighting that has been done in the past games, all the emperors know each other and tend to group together with most allied or at least a truce.

Interesting Idea for an expedition:  

Everyone signs up under his or her forum name.  We make a fair panel lead by Retto.  That panel ranks the players in groups by ability.  We make 10 clans and make an emperor leader of each clan.  Then give each clan 2 good players, 3 ?okay? players and 1 new player.  Each clan would have about 7 members and would be fair.  Clans cannot be changed and there would be no ally setting, only war.  Max land loss would only allow a person to be taken down to 1,000 land, thus no kills.  Turns set at turbo speed and the game is 7 days.

What this would do would be to force each emperor to teach their players better to help the clan and all players would get to be in a clan lead by an emperor.  The emperors would not likely hold the top because they would be the targets of the other clans.  Thus letting average players do most of the work.

Just a thought.

 Expedition = HPRs

Clans + HPRs = dead HPRs = unhappy Ashyra.

:P It's a good idea, but I wouldn't want to take part..

 No-one dies, re-read the topic. Besides, everyone has to adjust their strat to play at some point. Can't stay HPR all the time simply because it's easy.
I'm willing to help you, if you like.

 hmmmm, I like wolf's idea alot, just a suggestion, when you've ranked the top players and given them a clan, how about you make it a draft game, the weakest leader gets first pick in each round of a draft and you pick 1 person for each of the ?7? rounds.  I think that would make it a little more team oriented getting picked by someone rather then being placed mechanically by ability.

 It restarts in 2 weeks.

You know Aus brought up a good point to me. LEts take Holby for example. I see that a few people took his land, dont know how much he had to begin with. Well he is ranked 9 with 5k land. Basicly the more land we take, the better his leader ratio. Then he can come back and destroy us by buying millions of troops. If we really want to win, which I don't think a lot of people even care about, I know I don't, then we actually have to unify so that when we make a run we dont just help him with his leader ratio, but take him down. As far as I can see everyone just attacks whenever they feel like it, and truthfully we aint going to win like that. Just my opion. I dont even care, I just am sitting around. but thats a tip for people who actually are trying to take out the emperors.  
So quiet
Another wasted night
The television steals
The conversation
Exhale
Another wasted breath
Again it goes unnoticed.

Please tell me you're
Just feeling tired
'cause if it's more than
That I feeel that I might break
Out of touch  out of time.
Please send me anything
But signals that are mixed
Cause I can't read
Your rolling eyes
Out of touch  
Are we out of time?

Close lipped
Another goodnight kiss
Is robbed of all it's passion,
Your grip
Another time, is slack
It leaves me feeling empty.

I'll wait until tomorrow
Maybe you'll feel better then
Maybe we'll be better then
So what's another day
When I can't bear
These nights of thoughts
Of going on without you
This mood of yours is temporary
It seems worth the wait
To see your smile again
Out of the corner of your eye
Won't be the only way
You'll look at me then.


-------------------------------------------------

I'm missing your bed  
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots
where we'd have to speak
And this bottle of
beast is taking me home.
I'm cuddling close
to blankets and sheets
You're not alone
and you're not discreet.
You make sure I know  
who's taking you home.
I'm reading your
note over again.
There is not a word
that I comprehend
except when you signed it
"I will love you always
and forever"

As for now I'm gonna
hear the saddest songs,
and sit alone and wonder
how you're making out
But as for me I wish that I was anywhere
With anyone
making out

I'm missing your laugh,
how did it break?
And when did your eyes
begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy
as your pretending.
I'm missing your bed,
I never sleep.
Avoiding the spots
where we'd have to sleep.
And this bottle of
Beast is taking me home.

Your hair
It's everywhere
Screaming infidelities
Taking it's wear
------------------------------------------

Consider the odds
consider the obvious.
The martyr is meaningless
the campaign has died.
In the planning stages
and the fallen faces
are the singular proof
that it was ever alive.

This purchased rebellion
has been outdated
denounced and rescinded
and left to die championless.
I begged you not to go.
I begged you  I pleaded.
Claimed you as my only hope
and watched the floor
as you retreated.

Hope has sprung a perfect dive
a perfect day, a perfect lie.
A slowly crafted monologue
conceding your defeat.

Does it comfort you to know
you fought the good fight?
Basking in your victory,
hollow and alone
to boast your bitter
bragging rights
to anyone who'll listen.
While you're left with
nothing tangible to gain
----------------------------------------------

Whatever poisons in this bottle
will leave me broken, sore and stiff
But it's the genie at the bottom who I'm sucking at,
he owes me one last wish
So here's a present to let you know I still exist
I hope the next boy that you kiss has something terribly contagious on his lips

But I got a plan (I got a plan)
To drink for forty days and forty nights
A sip for every second-hand tick
And every time you fed the line,
?you mean so much to me?
I'm without you

Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say
Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say

And even if her plane crashes tonight
she'll find some way to disappoint me,
by not burning in the wreckage,
or drowning at the bottom of the sea
Jess, I still taste you, and thus reserve my right to hate you
And all this empty space that you create
does nothing for my flawless sense of style
It's 8:45 (it's 8:45), the weather is getting better by the hour (rains all the time)
I hope it rains there all the time
And if you ever said you miss me then don't say you never lied
I'm without you

Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say
Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say,
who would do anything you say

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it [15x]

Okay no more songs about you. After this one I am done.
You're gone.[repeat untill end]

Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say
Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say
-------------------------------------------------------
Last night I swallowed liquor and a lighter
and this morning I threw up fire
But it's nothing new
I've been piecing it together and it's got something to do
with every look thrown like a knife across a crowded room
And every slow and quiet car ride I spent drinking in the backseat
Every stupid melody to every stupid song,
and every stupid word that everybody's hanging on

What difference does this difference in age make?
I know how it ends... she'll kill me quick.
Call 911, I'm already dead but
someone should be caught and held responsible
for this bloody mess

Last night I fell asleep next to a liar
and I woke up with a shiner
And it's all that I remember from a night spent lying on my back with a view
of a stone white ceiling and the back of your head
And this quiet dark bed feels like the middle of nowhere
And we beat each other up just like we always do
When I'm talking to myself I'd always rather be talking to you

What difference does this difference in age make?
I know how it ends... she'll kill me quick.
Call 911, I'm already dead but
someone should be caught and held responsible
for this bloody mess

Call homicide, take the case to court
Cause her lips taste like a loaded gun
I'm her number one chalk outline on the floor

They hung her from the bridge on Monday
The gathering turned to a mob out on the lawn
They dropped her body in the river
School and work returned to normal before long
(before long... and no one will mention any of this again)

Call 911, I'm already dead but
someone should be caught and held responsible
for this bloody mess

Call homicide, take the case to court
Cause her lips taste like a loaded gun
I'm her number one chalk outline on the floor
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I got a twenty-dollar bill
That says no one's ever seen you without makeup.
You're always made up.
And I'm sick of your tattoos
and the way you always criticize the Smiths.
and Morrissey.

And I know that you're a sucker for anything acoustic.
But when I say let's keep in touch,
I really mean I wish that you'd grow up.
This is the first song for your mix tape.
It's short just like your temper,
But somewhat golden like the afternoons
We used to spend before you got too cool.
