Update I've been informed the Regs could not get an EE matchup because of their low bfa, something which my source points out is a problem NBN did not have. Anyone wish to comment or clarify this? (In all fairness to Regs, NBN hasn't exactly been tearing up the EE scene either).
That post by the Developers was in poor taste under the circumstances of this OSW. I am no fan of Slappy and the Regulators but the folks running this game need to be a bit more sensitive about these things. The Developers' opinion of the strength of any of our opponents, or any on our side for that matter, relate directly to Estoc Trials, and really have nothing to do with this War as far as I'm concerned.
The way I see it NBN could be in a different class. They could be a tier below and have equal bfa to their opposing clans. Meanwhile regs could be a level higher but have less bfa then their opponents? Could they not?
It happens, I don't think it's embarrassing at all. It's an osw people are supposed to have a low bfa.
Lol... Grasping at straws. I was happy the devs shared that information in relation to the 30 or so members we signed up, their particular strength to Bfa ratio was lower than the other clans with 30 or so similar strength members.
That's in pretty poor taste Philosopher. Overall, this would have to be one of the worst war threads I've read. We've hit a new low water mark...
Update I've been informed that the hamster was already in Phil's ass for a reason that is unidentified as of yet. I'm waiting on additional reports but for now we can only speculate. Maybe we should just ask Phil. Not because I believe anything he says, but because he has consistently been the best at baseless speculation this far.
Leave poor Phil be, he's just trying to liven up the thread a bit, nothing inherently wrong with that. I wasn't insulted by the devs, and in fact was very appreciative of their feedback, nor am I insulted at Phil's attempt(probable success?) in reviving this thread
@ shakzaa It seems by your definition good reporting means I must sit around and praise Regs and LR all day long. When regs reported a strip, I reported it, so I must report the same when the opposing side decides to tell me about Bellemorte. As for regs, they have often mentioned in this thread how much they have been stripping, so it is not surprising their opponents would pounce on this piece of information provided by the devs. I do find it interesting and feel a discussion about it could reveal the reason behind it, because I myself was under the impression that the regs were stronger in the bfa department than IG. Indeed are there not plenty of posts here claiming so? Indeed there might be a simple explanation for this. I hope there is one because IG seems to be laughing their heads off.
Explanation: The 30 or so members we signed up when compared to 30 or so members of similar strength which signed up had a lower Bfa. It's not difficult to understand
Phil. I'm not saying that reporting both sides' information is a bad thing. But even you must admit that there is a pretty significant difference in how things are reported. Your "reports" range from relatively objective: "XXX was stripped $XXX" To incredibly biased and leading: "XXX should be really embarrassed" "XXX is laughing their heads off right now" If you are going to have this huge Pseudo-official OP and act like a reporter, maybe act less like a grocery store gossip magazine? Leave that to us people of lesser character.
@gisard Sorry you feel this way, but it is YOuR alliance that was screaming this info at me. Perhaps you should have a chat in your own clan. Also, what exactly is in poor taste? It's a report from the devs. Perhaps you should send a feedback from them. It's not like I am saying WAR has decided to strip Wulf on the one year anniversary of his cats death. If you have been following this thread, I'm sure you will find stuff much worse than this from both sides. Get off your high horse if you plan to osw.
@shakzaa I never said xxx SHOuLd be embarrassed. I said the way the devs phrased the comment is not very complimentary. Don't put words in my mouth.
@shakzaa XXX is laughing their heads off is not my opinion. It is a statement of fact. Do you have any idea how many pms I received telling me this info. Justified or not ( probably not) IG and BH are taking this as a moral victory. Assuming you have read my posts carefully, you may have also noted that I mentioned that NBN EE record is spotty at best.
