    Is it too soon for the gene wilder memes?

    So basically throw a bunch of flags at us for ports you apparently cant hold, or don't want to have to defend, then set the timers to exclude a portion of the player base from RvR, all this after saying on the forums you all want to conserve the dwindling player base and that you want to promote respectable, fun combat. Class act guys, gotta hand it you.

    I hope one of these is the British "its a long way to tipperary" ironicly sung by the red army choir, for a german movie. Best scene ever.

    Great idea (if its possible). Great game too.

    I wouldn't go so far as to say it robs from the game but i do like the idea alot, would add a lil more immersion and possibly help with coordination.

    So whats stopping them from doing that now and just regrouping before the final tag? Theres always gonna be a way to gank, there isnt always opportunities for larger battles that both sides can get to, remember light speed teles? Works both ways. I wont press this any further, didn't mean to clutter your topic, sry.

    Cmon man im not saying i want 15 min timers, all im saying is that the less time people have to get to battles the less people get to participate right? 2 min timers only serve the cause of group ganking at the expense of large OW pvp fun, as rare as it has become..
  11. Potemkin
    We wouldnt even have a perk like this if enough people didnt see a problem with a 2 min timer. Fun>realism. On that note i think 30 min is way too long but could make for some major fun around high traffic freetowns. I wouldn't get all worked up because its definitely going to be adjusted, if its not removed entirely.

    Im sure i can find a couple teammates, this is a great idea. If i can be of service in any way let me know. Also, when is the deadline for payment?

    The fact of the matter is, as it stands now, spain (and all its players "whiners" and all) are effectively shut out of rvr, which as we all know by now is a huge part of this game. While i dont agree with bringing it to this part of the forum where it will fall on deaf ears and become food for forum justifications, i think alot of this is borne out of frustration at the fact that we can pull flags but probably wont ever plant them, and now even making it to a pb defense in our home waters is a crap shoot.The ability to enter allies PBs and form groups will only exacerbate the situation as we've managed to piss off all of our neighbors (a whole different convo). We all get it, screening is part of the game, and allies will help allies. What i seriously dont get about the forum wars is the inability or purposeful overlooking of the fact that individuals, not the entire nation of spain speak here. You want to wipe us? Do it, dont sit here and justify keeping a portion of the player base in a corner by saying we have no right to speak. At least in the beginning the AUSEZ among others had the balls to state their intentions and follow through with a full scale attack which provided fun content for all. For the record i dont agree with the " we're not playing anymore" argument, nor do i agree with the manner in which some other complaints are voiced, but somethings gotta change because somewhere along the way, this stopped being fun and became one huge shit slinging contest, and its the non forum rank and file who has to eat the shit sandwich.
  14. Potemkin
    Couldn't agree more.
  15. Potemkin
    This whole treaty business is starting to reek of nations jockeying for moral high ground in the inevitable event that spain pops any port battles at all against any of her neighbors... Honestly, two months of complete inactivity is going to hurt player base more than when you eventually resume the offensive under the old "Spain broke our agreement" pretense which we all know is going to happen one way or another. You say this treaty is great for spain but its seems to alot of people to be an attempt to control who and where we attack. Why not just cut the bullshit and get on with it?
  16. Potemkin
    I wouldn't worry too much, we'll probably be here again after the diplo patch. US, GB, and VP will still be allies and Spain will still be surrounded, far from our own allies. Its not really a big deal. New rvr dynamics will enter the picture sooner or later to shake things up a bit. Regardless of what happens going forward, there will still be fun to be had.
  17. Potemkin
    Eh, the Peninsular War makes for better reading anyways. On a side note I've always wanted to visit the Hougoumont. And Custard, thats awesome, il bet you've heard some very interesting stories. A direct source to history like that is priceless. (Assuming you were being serious, this is the internet after all).
  18. Potemkin
    The reason i brought it up was because it was used as an example of skill. It takes no skill to suicide tag ppl in a narrow channel.
  19. Potemkin
    Yeah thats assuming you tagged us one by one in the narrow channel. And then the remaining 18 just ran away? Get real clown. And if spain is so terrible and you beat us 95% of the time why are you crying for the dutch to come and help with a potential 1 on 1 where we cant even take your ports?
  20. Potemkin
    I guess not, no. But when you say we got outplayed and outmaneuvered... Its a tactic yes maybe not gamey, ok, when you trumpet a victory where the defender never got a chance to fight to defend the port as a tactical masterstroke that was "ahead of the curve" it just seems kinda pathetic. It was a single narrow channel leading to the port, helen keller could have rocked that strat. I called it gamey because it was a clear example of people playing for a dot on the map instead of people fighting a battle, but i guess we all know well by now the deficiencies of the current system.
  21. Potemkin
    Lenhador has kept us (CAZA) up to speed with whats happening.
  22. Potemkin
    So you basically just did everything in your power to prevent a large battle in the actual port and pissed away ships so you could shoot towers for 30 mins and trumpet it as a great tactical victory that only a genius of naval action could have procured. Thanks for proving my earlier point there bud. Anyone could have done what you did, its just that most nations don't pull gamey shit like that just so they can throw the battle in someones face later.
  23. Potemkin
    Eh fuck it, i guess il just wait and see how this turns out. I was under the impression most of the spanish timers were set to 18-22 range. We tried the 4-6 trick awhile back and we got wadded, i didnt think we repeated that mistake. I don't care about ports in florida, what i care about is Cuba, and to a lesser extent the Yucatan.
  24. Potemkin
    Lol dutch spam the cuban coast ganking whatever defenders we can muster while the US takes empty ports, calls them all great victories, talk shit on the forums, and sets the timers to 4-6. Sounds like a great treaty to sign. There wont be any point in rvr for spain, france, and the danes for awhile because the pirates (when they were strong) were the balancing factor population wise. They were the GB of our axis. Without them we just get beaten on numbers and sheer weight of crafting capacity and coordination one by one.
  25. Potemkin
    But where would a troll thread in NN be without a forum timer war?
