COE drop off... lots of people have nobody and nothing in southern towns. Its a hassle moving stuff around when you are really just trying to play the main bit of the game.

personally i don't find town events either enjoyable or credible so I'm quite happy for the Alley to have a stranglehold on the dull bits...

it makes a bunch of power gamers very happy... it doesn't make me very unhappy... these people may have awful tedious lives with nothing to be proud of so I say let them have their leagues and don't sweat the small stuff.

Really Dude ? What is with the forum trolling?

Here's one

Hey Marshalls / Sam

Why is it perfectly acceptable for for this above noted gang to say

"Go f**k your mother" in Russian as part of his main gang / user page ?

probably for the same reason someone can name their gang "Go Fk Yourself" in English

Plus Bing and Google both say "твою мать" is Babylonian but one translated it to "Be Wary" and the other said it meant "I have been Unfaithful"

I studied a little Russian and the only curse word I know is "Fk You" which in English (Phonetically) is "Yob Vos"

which in Cyrillic has none of those letters with crap dangling over them

I have had a couple of messages about this mornings CoE2 event- so I wanted to put my input in first.

Of course I'm not happy about losing a 100+ gunner and a 5LV8 Moray to ridiculous PSI Jedi mind powers.....

However, CoE2 is no holds barred, no rules, Deathrace. We all should know that before entering.

To Longo, I say- well done. What you did to me and Wolf was TOTALLY legal, and TOTALLY within the rules of the the event- so I guess I have to say- good win to you Longo- congrats- well done (sincerely)

To everyone else, I say:

IF YOU DON'T LIKE HOW THE ALLEYS PLAY- DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!

I know there are players who try week in, week out, but there are lots of forum warriors who don't even turn up in CoE events to try and make a difference, myself included- but now I will try!

Dry your eyes, little one.  Dry your eyes.

Anyway, someone had suggested that instead of posting complaints about the Alley's behavior, it would be a better investment of my time to simply enter these town events and fight them.

Let's take a look at the overall effectiveness of the Robin Hoods' attempts to do this.  Where are they now?  How many have drifted away to go play other games?  How many were driven off by Alley gank squads?  How many bystanders got chewed up?

What was accomplished?

I can smell "pointless" a mile away.  I don't have to stick my hand into the fire to know that it's hot.  This game still offers fun and challenging PvE opportunities.  There is a whole lot of sandbox left.

Even the PvP is fun as long as you don't have to deal with players like Joel sneaking in Defensive Driver 8 and 9 drivers into the lower divisions of the SCL.  And those matches I can simply opt out of.  Instead, I choose to play against the more interesting players that don't feel the urge to game the system like that.

SKIDMARK - I don't know where you're coming from?

If you watch this mornings CoE2 you will see that several players DID try to take out Longo. (Not me I hasten to add- I did just go for for the race win today)

I don't get why you forum moan about them, but don't actively participate to 'have a go' against them?

Two words...

Cowardice

Fear

Ultimately, he will continue to do this nonsense, but it doesn't not equal a hill of beans, hell even a single one.

Out there.... is where it matters... the wilds, the tracks, the arenas...

Brun, K1500, Snipe, X, Flame, Q, Shadow... You have my respect, begrudgingly at times, but you do have it.

You put the beef, where it belongs and we have a grand old time at it.

My hat is off to you.

To other detractors who chose to hide and snipe from the forums...

Grow a pair.

That's my point Necro- we do "have a grand old time at it"!

God knows how much money and gangers the Alleys have cost me over the past couple of years- so when I did Necro last sunday, and got 'well done' messages from several players, it was one of the sweetest moments of my gaming life, (and I know I will pay dearly for it one day!)
I once beat Joel in a town league race, and was smiling about it all day long!
For us lil guys, there will be many more losses than victories- but that's what makes the victories taste even sweeter!
This is a game, it's supposed to be fun- not depressing and stressfull- we have jobs and wives for that!
I say to everyone out there- if you want to change things, then HAVE A GO!
If you don't want to put your money where your mouth is- then shut up.

Yeah I can handle loosing my legendary BPU, 5LV8 and weapons. Losing my SNP5 and other good gunner (150+ in a couple of skills) was painful having no chance to escape (instant explode, no chance to bail out). Obviously in hind sight I should have stayed back, found high ground and kept shooting.

Yes I'm bitter about the loss but it was all within the rules of the match as clearly laid out. Not like I was ganged up on even (which isn't cheating or exploiting - it's called collusion).

K

[Though I will say I'm no fan of Psi powers at all - that is, however, a separate issue.]

#1 The Alley members fight like a bunch of girls on steroids

#2 I hear more crap outta your mouth out of game than I ever see in game

#3 There is no winning a fight with the Alley - go up against the best players with the best gangers/equip, for what?  A level playing field when they are gone? waste of time

#4 Some people will fight a losing fight - no matter the odds.  And I have fun fighting it, I could NEVER enjoy playing the way that you guys do.

So - ultimately, it is only as impossible to fight the Alley as they make it.  My issue, why the need to control all the high end prizes and league winnings when you are pretty much the only one with that equipment.  Then when people give you a real fight - you all hide behind psionics. 

I would imagine that style of play is totally boring, but to each his own.  I don't have the time to fight the system anymore - enjoy the Alley circle-jerk if you must.

Bring the pain when you see me, if I hurt your poor fragile egos. 

Trash the RH effort all you like - but we were left with little options and with very little resources.  If you wanted a better battle, you shoulda let it become one.
