UM8 agrees to the terms. Have a great war, everyone!

[QuikSilver]

Have a great war everyone!

I don't knows terms you used for the question poll... but I think aeternus will win by 3 or less. Tight war incoming!

There are no specific parameters by the poll, just an estimate. Yours would count as Aeternus by a molehill, but I think you're being too conservative.



Privileges requested.

26-15 for aeternus

[denominator]

Looking forward to watching this one. I'm thinking Aeternus will come out with the win.

[iAmCaffeine]

The first load of games are created and getting filled.

@UM8, why all the flat rate? I knew it was coming anyway, but I just don't see the reasoning behind it. Is it to make things as luck based as possible and hope it goes your way? Or perhaps just because it rhymes with your clan name? Some insight would be lovely.

I'm disappointed nobody replied to this.

Aeternus take a two game lead on UM8 home maps, even with this ridiculous flat rate. The second set is due to be exchanged on Monday.

Sorry, I've been traveling overseas and I only have forums bookmarked on my personal computer.

We picked flat spoils as something in-between a grind-it-out no spoils game and a huge hail-mary escalating game.

[iAmCaffeine]

I was mostly being sarcastic mate, it's all good. I do believe flat rate brings a lot more luck to the table though, as do most people.

[Yatti]

Luck comes in good and bad...all depends on how you use what you have...whether spoils or no spoils...IMHO
Anyway, may the best come out on top (or the luckiest).

The current score is pretty close but I'm seeing a lot more wins for us coming in.

[hopalong]

its like ATN is fighting this one with 1hand tied behind their back ... only 14 active playahs? ooooh la la (french for - where did all the deserters go?)

Haha, we've always kept the clan small mate. Not to worry though, we're still on track to win this war. Currently looking around 21-12 with a few leaning either way.

[iAmCaffeine]

Looks like 25-14 with a couple undecided.

[iAmCaffeine]

The 21st win has come in, confirming Aeternus will advance to the final! Looks like we'll probably finish on 25 or 26.

Thanks for the war UM8. It's nice to get through a war swiftly without any issues, you're good guys. Good luck in the rest.

[iAmCaffeine]

Thanks mate, it was a quiet but enjoyable war. Good luck in your next.

[dshedd]

Fun war, all. Good games & good sportsmanship (internetsmanship?). Gl in future wars UM8

[QuikSilver]

GL in final!
