laughs, so in your opinion, only clans that enjoy a particular part of the warlight experience can be considered elite?
And who makes these determinations?
Lots of clans simply dont bother with 1v1, 2v2 etc because they dont find that aspect of the game as interesting or exciting as diplo or big team games, huge FFAs or any other alternatives.
I personally don't enjoy diplos, but i would certainly acknowledge that there are clans who would or should be considered elite at them.
Why are you suggesting that 1v1 clans are any more "elite" than they are?

What I would say but I didn't have the words to
Thanking you for stating that indibob

Eliteness refers to the state of having a very high amount of skill. Skill is a prerequisite to being considered elite.

You can be great at playing lots of lotteries, or talking a lot on chat and just waiting for people to get booted so you can invade their territory. You can even be a legend at designing horrible templates with weak card balance or at spending your time writing white-people raps for the forum of a site where mostly 13-20 year olds congregate to play a modified version of Risk. You can be an absolute god at beginning your sentences with cringeworthy things like "laughs" or "chortle."

But you can't be elite at any of those things, because they require absolutely no skill.

Well I would apologise.. I didn't think thats your version of elite.. I just saw the words "Elite" "1v1" 2v2" and I was off...

So what is your version of Elite?

And sorry just a misunderstanding..

@knyte would you consider role-playing negotiating with other alliances establishing alliances to your benefiting is a skill?

@Plat:

Yes. In theory, being able to successfully and consistently maneuver your way through complex and unpredictable social situations is a cool skill. It requires thought, re-thought, analysis, and re-analysis.

In practice, that's far from what Warlight RP games are.

There is value in RP games, but they're nowhere near a skill-based activity as much as a community- and fun-based activity. This would be rather easy to recognize if the vast majority of the RP playerbase weren't simply hiding from its lack of ability to play strategy games. At this point it's essentially like those obese "models" who go around demanding to be called beautiful instead of actually trying to become physically fit and more attractive.

"hiding from its lack of ability to play strategy games."

Very bold statement which I can only say "Where is the proof?"

Does CORP Have an Average or Above Average Strategy player to wrong this statement.. ?



I always thought there is skill.. But Knyte has really brought up a point.. Is this just a community fun game?

Or Can Corp Provide the proof to Knyte?

Stay tune and find out! ;)

Seriously thought.. Will be interesting! :D

This ain't a tv show for your young mind
Knyte was indeed in CORP and he might be satisfied with the clan and on how they played all these years you can ask knyte for an honest opinion and yes there are good strong players in CORP that can prove your statements wrong
CORP is now developed into a stage where they have 2 parties one with good expertise in strategy games such as 1v1 etc and other good in their diplomacies
Your quite the strategy player am I right?
I hope the clan members are active in the forum to answer your question but we have nothing to prove of our strengths
:-) :-) :-)

"This ain't a tv show for your young mind" Insult?

Since your calling me younger.. You must have an elder mind ;)

I didn't Insult your clan. I'm refering to eachother comments.. No Insult intended if you take offense I will just put the actions of one of your clan member demonstrating your strengths..

Its not an insult don't take them wrong way
Sadly you did
And yah bro u might have to wait till someone responds from the clan
However I haven't insulted your clan either
And I hope I got the point I'll relay you the proof in a short while
Hope your not insulted and got your mind straight from it

No I thought you meant to Insult me not my clan.. Thats all.. I respect your clan.

and I hope your clan respects me and my clan.. No issues raised!

Oh that's great
Hope we understood each other
Also platinum how about we exchange some tips regarding how both of our clans could benefit from each other and gain good stats
I'm totally free if your up for it

And to help your clan I feel I need to bring this to you..

https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=9369231 Your recruit seems to spur trouble with people..

Just thought you should know...

Yes , thank you for that and apologize to that member I hope he was from your clan . or relay him the message
Its hard to keep reputation when these things happen

PSA: I ran CORP for about two months. I'm pretty familiar with the clan.

Very bold statement which I can only say "Where is the proof?"

None of this screams "strategic" to me.

But yes, CORP has a decent number of capable players- because CORP isn't a roleplay clan entirely. You'll notice that Scorpio Dojo- a segment of CORP dedicated to strategy- houses the majority of CORP's best players.

He isn't in my clan. I only want to help improve your clan..

Have you considered hosting diplomacy games? 24 player? and have a group of 6 or 7 and aim at the other 75% to join CORP?

Good strategy..

Good market..

Good strength as 6/7 of ye with clan logos looks scary ;)

Its nice speaking to you platinum BTW I hosted a 24 player FFA called realm's curse why not join
And btw thank you the stats knyte
And yes we will be hosting a diplomacy
I'll let u know

Host diplomacys if you want more diplomacy games ;)

Should consider a diplomacy tournament or league if things get stale..

For the most turns survived you get "x" amount of points.. Custom balance would work well? right ;) Clan league which would make it appealing for diplomacy players to join :)

That's a good idea platinum
