I appreciate that there are those that spend money in this game, as I don't and likely won't ever. I just don't put money into online games anymore. However, to tout the advantage that cash gives as greatness is something only a weasel would do. Cash doesn't make you great. Buying large voodoo chests doesn't make you great. What you do with what you have, and how you do it, is what will make a player great.

As for the "cheater" comments, I won't continue on with them per your request. However, someone who cheated will always be a cheater. If the player behind Vane didn't want to be associated to his previous account, he should have made efforts to prevent associations to those accounts. That's his own fault, and from his own comments seem proud of his past action. The account maybe different and he may not be cheating now, but the player is the same.

DoS/Trump did bring up an interesting point. Players don't fear Vane, they fear his cash supplied voodoo chest. I really don't like using the word fear, as I find that it isn't really fear. Only a person who is full of themselves would think that players fear them. Most players are smart enough to know that taking on a player that has large amounts of resources to include voodoo may not fair well, especially if they don't have the resources to compete. As CJ said, there are players that that haven't spent any cash that can easily hold their own against players like Vane. Their resources are extensive. But I suspect that most players don't.

Also, don't know why my name was mentioned in regards to being hit. Yeah, I got hit and pretty hard, but so what. It's a game. I'm not complaining or leaving it because I got hit. While I'm taking a break from thorough game play, I'm still going to play and be on the forums, while I figure out what my approach will be when I rebuild.

I'm only on this forum topic to agitate and instigate Vane and his buddies. If you don't think it worked, look at how long this topic is now and the fact that other players (Feniks) jumped in to talk smack.


I personally am not agitated or feel like I am being instigated by you. You came into the other thread which then spun off into this one complaining. I am very satisfied with the outcome of the war. In fact, I feel like we made more friends than enemies throughout the process. All in all, it was an overall enjoyable experience. Of all the flavors, you are the one who has chosen to be salty.


Weren't instigated but needed to post?

You have no room to talk about someone being Salty. Look at your own situation. Started a war with another nation over a feeling and a nation forum post about a port that you no longer possessed, because the UK was previously hit. That's being salty. You guys carry butthurt for at least 3 weeks and think you have any room to say that someone else is butthurt for trying to thwart your shenanigans against their nation and fellow countrymen.


Lol, my post expressed no instigation. I commented on the experience. You can be mad all you want that the US got handled the way it did but I was defending my nation after countless attacks. I would hope that your nation would do the same. You can only be the whipping post for so long before an example has to be made. Do I think you guys were the sole attackers of the UK? Absolutely not. Do I think there is a strong possibility that individual players from the US could have been actively involved? Undoubtedly. And as it continued to play out, it became more and more apparent that we had more friends than enemies in dealing with the US and their shenanigans. You keep hurling insults at Vane and his buddies and complaining about the advantage we had but throughout this entire process has no one else come along with you to insult Vane and his cohorts expect for DoS. I think that speaks for itself. For a self proclaimed troll, you seem no more than an angry little keyboard warrior who is upset that someone took his toy in the sandbox.

Why is it that the players who know it all like Dez, always have the answers, but nothing to show for their supposed unquestionable insight to the game? Please take your irrelevance and butthurt somewhere else! Thank you.

What do I need to show in the game? I play the game to my enjoyment in a manner and pace that I fits my needs and goals. Not everyone is in it to be the biggest trader or pirate. Go back into the hole you crawled out of, because no one cares about your opinion.

Where did I say I'm upset. You all keep saying this. The only players upset were you, Feniks, Vane, Dman, and Egerton in regards to the UK. You were so upset that the UK got hit, you guys posted about it in the forums and declared war on a select set of players in HELM and then a nation in a BS attempt to seek justice. Trying to thwart a war to protect my investments and other nation players and their investments, doesn't make me upset. Losing a port doesn't make me upset. It's a game. I suspect those things may happen, fighting to prevent them doesn't make me upset.

Perfect example of you being upset is in your own statement. Read through it and you will see that you are upset, not me.

The USA's shenanigans. That's a good one. I'd love to hear about them. Please continue about these shenanigans.

Also, I'm not a self proclaimed troll. My signature is based completely on what others have called me in forums posts.

You didn't take anything from me that can't be re-attained. Nothing to be upset about. Don't know why you think anyone would be upset about something that with a little work and patience can be re-acquired.

Keep projecting your own feelings onto others. It is great. I personally enjoy watching it.

If you look very carefully, many intelligent people have played this game but their involvement in forum wars have led to their eventual demise.
Most successful players refrain from posting and flaming and when they do, it is not a sustained event.
Look at Aye Cappy as a prime example of a guy who was quite intelligent but his forum demeanor killed him.

Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

BUT if you do put the tomato in the fruit salad once, likely they won't ask you to make a salad for the next party so it is a win win lol

I quoted something I said more than 2 years ago, just to make a point.

In that time, this forum was pretty boring, I have to say, except for some exceptions. ;)
Those were a times when many new players have tried to play PG, but being active only for few days. Many of new players do the same thing today, but not so often as it was the case in that time. I'm convinced that this is because of the forum talks. :)

The game have changed, of course (positive changes), but forum talks and activities have changed extremely... We are not talking here only about the game improvements and from time to time about game wars, like earlier (when I started to play, not so many war talks were present and certainly not so funny as they are now...mostly). :D

We are talking here almost about everything (but primarily about game) and the game itself became more interesting when followed with forum talks.
So, new players have something more to be entertained, not only to play the game (which could be a little hard at the beginning, but much easier than in past times) and they stay now... longer than few days, obviously.

My opinion is that the active forum is that necessary ingredient for the game to be successful... and of course, visiting forum pages and posting is profitable too for the game. I am not so interested to pay real money for any game, not only PG (I did it few times, to be honest, but not in the intention to reach the top haha), but I visit forum pages frequently and post when I find it appropriate. So, that's my way of contributing to this game. :)

And one thing more... first sign of the game that is going to be closed soon is poor forum activity. :!:
Hopefully not this one for a long, long time! :)

Fools quote wise men to appear wise. Wise men know what is wise and just live by it.
