[freakns]

[nippersean]

Neck and neck, anyone's game. Good luck SOH and especially Cookie and Mrs Cookie

[Chariot of Fire]

OP update please. Score currently at 9-0

[Denise]

Okay, OP updated. TOFU has a commanding lead, but I see a few SoH will most likely pull out of their spelunkers. What does that mean, anyway?

1/2 the second set has been exchanged. Baby girl cookie has arrived, so we should be seeing SoH home games soon. Congrats again, Cookie.

If you really wander who spelunkers are - they are the guys who crawl in some underground passages, some kind of crazy scientists.

Caving—also occasionally known as spelunking in the United States and potholing in the United Kingdom and Ireland—is the recreational pastime of exploring wild (generally non-commercial) cave systems. In contrast, speleology is the scientific study of caves and the cave environment.[1]
The challenges involved in the activity depend on the cave being visited, but often include the negotiation of pitches, squeezes, and water (although actual cave diving is a separate sub-specialty undertaken by very few cavers). Climbing or crawling is often necessary, and ropes are used extensively for safe negotiation of particularly steep or slippery passages.
Caves have been explored out of necessity (for shelter from the elements or from enemies), out of curiosity or for mystical reasons for thousands of years. However, only in the last century or two has the activity developed into a sophisticated, athletic pastime. In recent decades, caving has changed considerably due to the availability of modern protective wear and equipment. It has recently come to be known as an "extreme sport" by some (though not commonly considered as such by its practitioners, who may dislike the term for its perceived connotation of disregard for safety).

Thank you. I like Dako's description.

While you're crawling around in those caves, keep a look out for some missing 2nd round games.

{quote="torres44cm"]Those are some bad arse hombres, we're dealing with, would be a nice notch on our pistols, taking them down

so how do you feel about the claim a core group of us make up SoH's top team for clan war and league games?

and this is our basic strategy guide.

Viceroy is absolutely right. If I had to distill team play down to its most basic elements, I'd say these are the key ingredients:

• 1. Never miss a turn. (Although there are exceptions to this.)
• 2. Communicate, communicate, communicate. Everyone should know the gameplan. Everyone should know what their role should be, and what the team's objectives are.
• 3. Strategy. Be familiar with the basic principles of denying opponents bonuses, establishing your own, and eliminating weak players on the other team.
• 4. Know the map. Classic-style gameplay is fairly straightforward, but for maps with Conquest gameplay or more complicated bonus structures and attacking paths (Waterloo, Stalingrad, Poison Rome, etc.), there's no substitution for familiarity with the map.
• 5. Team chemistry. You may have assembled four brilliant tacticians, but if they can't work together, or their play styles don't mess, you won't be as successful.

Clans like KORT and TOFU have gotten to the top by following all the above guidelines, and say what you will about our recent Conquerors, but they've followed #4 religiously.

Also, will you please credit [player]emelar[/player] as the author of this?

The real rules #'s 1,2, and 3 are Communication, Communication, and Communication

The 1st four are Bruceswar's priorities in order:
1- break bonuses
2- break populations to below 12 to break popln bonuses
3- take your own bonuses
4- eliminate a player
These 4 subject to the facts-on-the -ground when the beginning game-drop is first seen.

Other tactics:
5- fort to the person who follows you if possible
6- separate the enemy players
7-try to always attack since it is a one v one game in essence (except in 3 and 4 team games)
8- attack with 4's or better (unless 3v1 sometimes), leave no attackable singles, snatch up unprotected singles

9 A concept to consider is that you should preferentially attack the player who comes immediately after you. (Try to maintain contact with that player's countries, try to avoid contact with the countries of the player before you, and keep away from your team mates the countries that come immediately before them.)

The game is about the team. At any time any or all of my pieces or bonuses may be sacrificed to gain a significant advantage such as enabling the killing 2 of the enemy players or gaining a dominant position (We've seen partners who didn't understand that concept.)

Bruceswar taught me #1-4, and I passed it on to emelar, who refined it into this strategy PM. =)

I have picked up 633 points on First Nations America and have a win record over 60%. Most of those points have come from our Whom or What signature map- FNA,quads sunny no spoils unlimited forts. I am looking for a core group, say half a dozen, WoW or Spelunkers, willing to play this map and settings to have fun, learn and bond and win. I believee in brains,and chemistry.communication is key. I am willing to play colloborative with a dash of me team captain.

PM or post.

Thank your for your consideration.

[Denise]

I agree with all of that. You've played this FNA game very well. Your practice on the map really paid off.

We're still gonna chew TOFU up and shit them out. I predict 31-10, SoH by the end of it.

I look forward to making like an Adelie penguin and raping your carcass, pedro.

[Chariot of Fire]

I agree with half of what you've said, i.e. it will be 31-10

I was a leopard seal in a previous life. The chances that your frozen penguin pecker gets anywhere near my arsehole are slim to zero. You, my fine feathered friend, will be a a mere bagatelle. A delightful bird/fish flavoured Hors d'oeuvre before I move on to feast upon the rest of your clan.

Now be a good little penguin and tell all your mates that the water is lovely.
