    Yes, I agree with the No Tsa thing. I'm keeping my name as 'eediot'... Hey, everybody in the alliance should recognise me anyway <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Pros of TSA_:

    - Peaceful newbies who do not want a big war will stay away from us.
    - It's nice to see something of ours [TSA_] plastered everywhere
    - The alliance activity will seem more coordinated and organised to the outside observer

    Cons of TSA_:

    - We will be a target, Strong and Weak alike, to malicious High ranking players who like to flaunt their strength
    - If somebody who is actually in the TSAAS forgets [or doesnt know about] the TSA_ tag, then they may be at risk from our own guys
    - It will dissuade people from visiting the site and keeping up to date... instead it will simply be a place to go to when you're neck deep in ****.

    I'm in favour of not having it as a compulsory alliance factor.

    This one guy refuses to die.. it's annoying.

    I send measly fleets to his planet [10, 15 destroyers each time] and siege him, waiting for transports to come [its in a new system im developing, no money inside the system so i have to send transports over from my one good planet two systems away]

    and twice now he's broken it with only an hour to spare [my transports were coming]!! its CRAP!!

    so next time, instead of 15 destroyers and no transports, he's going to get 15 battleships and 4 transports. Sucker.
  • MazkalineMazkaline Join Date: 2003-02-11 Member: 13409Members
    I better start reading Art of War soon. My second battle and got bustered badly :/ Killed one idleplayer and then destroyed second in power-guys planet number 2. After that I was in feel of my powers and decided to go on killing his main planet with few destroyers, 3 cruisers and only 1 battleship.
    Well... now hes at level 7 and im still around 4.
    Time to build up 15 cruisers and 5 battleships and start rolling. Better keep some money in reserve too if he decides to try crushing me too.
  • eedioteediot Join Date: 2003-02-24 Member: 13903Members
    dont waste money on cruisers for attack.

    get battleships and destroyers only.

    make sure to include some transports so u can take it over without letting him break the siege

    "if the people who are on your 'watchlist' aren't on the NS alliance, then I am not thinking I will not want to be in the alliance with these sort of noobs?"

    I dont understand what you're saying here... Was this in reference to me/my post(s), or some of the people saying they dont want to check if theyre attacking an ally every time they make a move [i.e Pro 'TSA_' people]. Because i agree. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    I am saying, that if people who can't be bothered to check the list of NS forumites playing before attacking, than I say they are attacking in haste (which quite often results in loss.) And will be posting for help cos they lost their fleet and now their underestimated enemy has decided to sod them once and for all. = LEECH.

    Time spent in reconaissance is seldom wasted.

    It was in reference to people who dont want to check a list to see if a person they're attacking is 'a TSA ally'. They should do plenty of 'research' on their target before launching, and the task of checking a list of 40 or so people would not that be much worse than all the others they should do.

    As to date. I have not lost a battle, other than enemy fleets breaking my lone destroyer sieging a planet. While some have been flukes, most have been calculated and 'researched'.

    That is why I am <span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>ANTI</span> TSA_
    I want an alliance I am in to give as little information as possible to our enemies about our strength and capabilities.

    I know for sure that I'm not on the front list, and I've been participating the past 20 pages or so. If I don't use TSA, and you attack me, I'd be severely ****. And I'm not going to search 90 pages of replies for a name that's not on the front page.

    The point is, something similar can easily happen in the next round

    That being said, it would be reletively easy to use an "edit -> find" on the front page to see if an existing name is there.

    Still, I think it's a fallous argument to say that we'll be targeted just for wearing a tag. If you don't like it for your name, no one is forcing you to wear it. We _were_ supposed to be using NS_ in front of our names in this build and that fell through as well.

    All they will know, if they do research, is that TSA_ is made up of 40+ members.

    That's pretty intimidating if that's all I knew about a clan. If they wipe a TSA out early on, they KNOW that they will be hunted down eventually. In fact, it would be pretty neat to wipe out a TSA member in the beginning, then receive 40 new emails <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Man what a bummer
    I just got my three hundredth and thirty first battle ship (331 BS) today and now my main target is down to 3 planet!

    I started in the system at planet 12, with 200 BS's split into 2 groups of 100 and have over the last 2 days taken every planet down to my next target planet 3, than 2 and than the hardest target Planet 1 (his lowest planet!).

    I need to work fast because 2 powerful (not as powerful as me.. LOL not even close) jerks just attacked one of our alliance members and sieged his home system, all but 2 planets.
    Thats why its smarter to only take half the system and give the other half to an allie! Makes it alot harder for someone to put you out of the game!

    I feel so powerful now, must be how Marine 01 feels!
    330 BS at my command, thats 11880 APs. I feel so powerful!
    Sell off your artifacts today if you already haven't, thats how I bought another 120 BS!

    Marine01 is responsible for the front list, and he has gotten sloppy with updating. I mean I wouldn't want to search throught 10 pages of posts to find all the n00bs that have signed on the last couple of days when I'd be bothered to update. The end of the beta is nearing.

    As I have suggested to him, that he revises the method of just posting and rather just pm'ing him the new things, that way he doesn't miss it, and he doesn't have to wade throught mountains of posts when he actually does get around to doing it.

    Regards
    Es Quatro

    BTW

    The NS alliance is not the biggest in the game, of the ones that have made themselves public the N's community (spanish) is an alliance with around 50 members however they have no official tag.

    As intimidating as it might be burncycle, they will have a base to build their tactic on. They can have a rought idea, and as many as there might be, it will only tell them to wait and get a stronger fleet. The thing is, we won't know they are planning to attack until they have. Attacks made against you are premature ones that have been undercalculated as your opponent has underestimated you. TSA tags will just give them a better estimation of yours and your allies capabilities

    FYI** I won't be selling off my artifacts until there are 2 days left of the round. The top people are sure to be taken out, by the general AW community, so it is unlikely that the round will finish in 6-7 days.

    I'm considering buying a Charcoal Diamond, but I'm confused as to how the artifacts work.

    Do I hang onto the diamond and get a % increase in pp, or do I have to 'use' it to boost the number of pp I currently have?

    I guess we'll be the clan with no name (er tag) then, even though I don't agree with it, I don't want to be the only guy wandering around with a tag on.

    You have to use an artifact to reap the benefits, unfortunately you can only use one at a time.

    the best way to find out what hes got in orbit is to send 1 or 2 destroyers, knowing they will be destroyed, just to find out what hes got for Defense!

    Then you will see when your destroyers are killed how much you have to fight against.
