Hand of God

[LightBlue]

I'm just glad to see that Lord_Striker has recently acquired Hand of God. After like 3 weeks he has 1.6 million soldiers and Hand of God. I wish I was Lord_Striker....

[Caboose]

they need to get rid of the carryover from age to age, and get rid of strikers alliance and his click lists. it makes it P O I N T L E S S. to play now with striker and Denny up there.

[Stephen]

No, it makes it pointless to try and reach first place in only one age. It took both Denny and Lord_Striker a couple ages and months of programming and alliance building to get where they are. If you were willing to put in a year or so of hard work, I'm sure you'd be there too.

[Caboose]

it seems pointless to me that striker can just sit up there on his "throne" and not have to worry about anything. i mean will any of his officers ever realize that they can just break away... we need to start a revolution and take down lordstriker. it can be done and we need to unite the rest of the KoC world.

[blunderball]

heh..

Removing the officer list doesn't really do much, not with the commander change button there anyway. Denny created a new account last age so that he could get rid of all the n00bs. But once again, they all joined him because he has no way to stop them. The same thing would happen with LS or SS or whoever else was up there. People just join the #1/#2/#3 etc..

but his officers are loyal so they won't break away

Why? Denny can still take him. I mean, if he really really tried, LS would come down.

This is my fourth age, and I've never seen the top three remain unchanged all age. They are most certainly fallible.

tsk tsk
when LS #1 its bad, but when its someone else is #1 its OK!
i'd wish if u would go and read this thread http://www.giveupalready.com/showthread.php?t=12730&page=4&pp=10

last age when someone other than LS was #1 that person (Denny) got HoG first, and hey nobody complained! they congratulated, i did too. it wasn't called "showing off to the noobs" by anybody...so why can't ppl just accept that the player with the largest army size earning a lot of TBG has the best chance of achieving HoG first?
plz stop crying :sadmonkey and envying another person's achievements and try to achieve the same or better urslef

i congratulate LS for achieving HoG first and also countless others* that will get to HoG during the age.
*not including the hacker selloff accounts

[llama_of_terror]

Im not a member of SC, but to all the people that talk about LS and his little throne, or how easy it is for him...it took him all these past ages to get where he is, he has tried hard and never got to #1, why cant yall just leave him alone...and stop being so flustered about having absolutley no chance at #1

[HoD]

Only 1 person said something negative aboutLS getting HoG it :chairfall
I think it's wrong that anybody has a HoG so soon in the age, it's not funny anymore :icon9:

HoD

[xD00M]

LS and any other top player can come down if their officers would realize that theyre being taken advantage of. They think just cuz they get clicks and "protection" they should stay under him. In my opinion, commanders are a waste unless youre a good friend of them. I dont knwo why people join under people like LS just to get clicks and all. Dont they realize that theyre never getting #1 if theyre in an alliance? Theyre being used. You get clicks, true, but your selling your soul. You get clicks and LS gets half, now have over 100 people doing that and yeah, you get so many clicks that way. I dont think we should change the rules, but it ihnk we should educate people that major allainces are scams. If I had as many officers as LS did id prolly be in the top 100 too. (given they clicked)

[Kapps]

Don't freaking whine about people being in the highest ranks.
Why? Because they spend THEIR time getting up there.
It took them YEARS of playing to get up there.
It took them YEARS of spending their own personal time to program and help their alliance so they COULD get up there.
And the guy that says their officers are being taken advantage of...
No offense, but you aren't very bright. What else is there apart from clicks/protection/help from a commander? Officers are part of the age, so are alliances.
DON'T WHINE. You have no chance anyways.
If you don't like it, NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO STAY. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF OTHR GAMES.
Remember, in Age 1 it was ALL clicking and officers. Rankings did not matter on SA or DA. And you can finish a decent rank without officers. In age 3 I finished in the 2ks without officers, that's not bad. And it's NOT hard to get officers. Not hard at all, if you're not TOO LAZY TO TRY.



If I had as many officers as LS did id prolly be in the top 100 too. (given they clicked)
The point is, you DON'T.
He spent years getting those officers, years wasting his spare time to program and help those officers. And you want to take the away, because you don't want to do the same. Shameful.


On a side note, the above is all constructive criticism, no flaming. :D :flame:

[lsfamily]

i think why they (koc admins) introduced HoG as a very expensive upgrade was, because by the end of age 2, 95% of players in the top 10,000 (yes ten-thousand) had Citadel. so may be they wanted to have an upgrade only a few could afford, but as we saw there were quite a few ppl with HoG.

but i can't agree with u on

I think it's wrong that anybody has a HoG so soon in the age, it's not funny anymore :icon9:

HoD
because upgrading is the only thing that can't be sabbed or damaged. so its sort-of an invesdment. and if u have enough gold and banked weapons, i think u should upgrade. :twocents:

[H2SO4]

/me sighs...

LS gets HOG first, and once again the cry babies come out to complain.

Why can't you guys take the little green monster out of your eyes and stop flaming LS all the time and put a bit of effort into playing the bloody game instead of whining at the people who do? If you did you might actually get somewhere. But no, I guess that's just too much like hard work.

The fact is he put a great deal of time and expertese into coding and maintaining our recruiter and building a clan to support it, and still does. Unlike most things these days you can't get daddy to buy you the top spot, you gotta work for it. And yes it is a four letter word and one most of you don't seem to be familiar with.

[HoD]

but i can't agree with u on
because upgrading is the only thing that can't be sabbed or damaged. so its sort-of an invesdment. and if u have enough gold and banked weapons, i think u should upgrade. :twocents:
Yeah, I understand why you should buy it, the thing I have a problem with is that a player can buy the most expensive upgrade in the game in less than a month. I mean, isn't it the most fun to work towards a goal, and not just another xxx amount of SA/DA/Spy/Sentry ? :whatgives

HoD

[justadude]

I kind of agree that it seems a bit soon to have these top upgrades, but then again, if they make more and more expensive ones, whats it gonna take. LS or Denny a week to get them too. put them more and more out of reach of joe average ranked 900-2000. If you wanna put in as much time as those guys, you can get them too.

ps. i dont wanna put in that amount of time, so I've given up wingeing. I'm trying to have a non KoC life too.

[Tequila_Burp]

lol LS is known for his bad luck ^^
by some misterious reasons LS when he is about to end at first place something happens :/ age 2, lost 1 place at the end; age3 beta, lost it coz his entire defense was sabbed; age 3, he over estimated the power of the CW; age 4 who knows :|

[B00KemDAN0]

Why should we all leave LS?

LS being in the #1 spot is our reward. Our alliance having a player at the top.

This works the same for all of my chain. My rank is their reward for their dedication and loyalty. All of us have created LSs size, using the tools he has created.

All u whining bitches really need to stfu and maybe put some of that moaning energy to more constructive uses.

And to the person that suggested SC be disbanded... wtf are u talking about? Imagine this game with no SC, you wouldnt have anything to moan about...

OH MY GOD what would you do then!?!?!?!!?

grow up, and get on with it

[H2SO4]

Oh they'd just moan and bitch about someone else... unfortunately it's human nature and constantly displayed here at GUA in all it's glory.

I really find it very funny the way people moan about the game, but it's a game based on clicking and it was inevitable that things would develop the way they have with the top players requiring enourmous armies to get their ranks and upgrades. Use some logic and common sense for goodness sake.

[Snake_Bonzai]

I think it's amazing how KoC developes. The most expensive fortification you could buy during Age 2 cost 5M and was Trenches. Then Age 3beta started and this HoG was born. Man calculated that LS would not have been able to buy the HoG in Age 2 with the amount of gold his account was worth. I think LS and Orc00 had a max of 200K soldiers at the end of Age 2.

And now.....it's bloody amazing. Congratz LS, loads of respect!

[LightBlue]

yea, when i started this topic, it was not a big debate about how stupid LS is or something. I was just congratulating him, cuz he's worked his face off for a long time, and after losing to Denny in Age 3, Im glad to see him back in first place. I also have lots of respect, enough to make my commander, SweetShadow, because id never heard of him before this age, and right now hes beating Denny. They seem to be going back and forth the last couple days. I guess its sort of ironic that im rooting for Lord Striker as the underdog, cuz he's Lord Striker, but oh well, thats just the way it is.

id also like to add that this is the only thread i ever started that made it to a 3rd page, thanks guys.

[Primenal]

UHH, people leaving LS?! I found out second hand that you can't just leave LS!
I joined under Fast Robbie (apparently a very loyal LS member) with a nice rank. He had plenty of officers. He decided to leave LS, and me being an officer under him I got threatened. I had like 10 people threaten me saying to come back to LS or be sabbed! LS chain saying they were going to sab fast robbie, etc. They didn't, but threatened for days and days until FR finally said for everyone to just leave.
That just goes to show you how things really are, and people still staying in the chain! I'm definitely rooting against LS since then.

[active]

not this again..

[Bamby]

And do you think this is the first time LS has massed a person for leaving his chain.

SC is like the mafia, only way out is in a body bag.

[xD00M]

This is why i dont like major chains, they draw you in to getting clicks (a scam ive said much about on this forum) and then they threaten you if they leave. Why join clans like SC? theyre pointless...and threatening them for leaving is pointless.

[Primenal]

Yep, I had like 10 people threaten me with PM's. Worst part is they were saying stuff like how we were LS brothers, and I had to join under them, or else I would get sabbed!!!!! LOL
That's quite a way to get someobody back..By threatening them.

[ledsock]

Smesar, you speak as if this age is already over. Like StephenKenny01, I have been playing since Age 1. During Age 1, InkTank dominated the number 1 spot, being unattackable by almost everyone (since ranks were determined entirely by size and for most of the age you could only attack people who were less than 5x larger than you or more than half your size). The rule changed and suddenly InkTank lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers, as Elite and other clans massed the account.

In Age 2, LordStriker dominated the vast majority of the age with Orc00 in second. In the last two weeks of the Age 2, a massive war broke out between SC and Relentless, Elite, and most of the rest of KOC. LordStriker was massed so hard that he couldn't even access his account due to all of the querries caused by the attacks on him. Things got so bad that KoC went down due to the load on the servers. Orc00 ended up victorious due to the attacks and recieving massive selloffs from top Relentless members.

Age 3 Beta saw Orc00, LordStriker, DeusPayne, Flurffmeister, OmegaSt0rm, and Denny_D bouncing around in the top 10 rankings, due to mass attacks, hackings, bannings, sabbings, and errors in the game. Yet again, LS came in second to Orc00.

During Age 3, Denny dominated the rankings, as most here know.

As a trusted officer of LordStriker, I am behind him 100%. My feeling is it is time for him to win. He's earned it. LordStriker did not have a chain handed to him. He built it himself. LordStriker did not have a recruiter handed to him for him to use. He built it himself. As a leader, LordStriker is one of the best. While his actions may not always be clear at first, he ALWAYS chooses for the good of the clan.

Many people like to cheer for the underdog. A lot of people think this means hoping that Denny_PR or Sweet_Shadow knocks LordStriker off of his "thone," but they are mistaken. Relentless has won every age from Age 0 till the majority of the clan broke off to form PR. Then PR won. It takes a lot to be that close to winning for three rounds and not calling it quits. LordStriker has done that. It is time for the underdog to rise up and recieve the victory he not only deserves, but he has earned.

Ledsock

[nod2003]

If you want to be #1 work for it. If you want a life and to have fun, join a small clan and do that.

[H2SO4]

Ledsock, I couldn't have put it better myself mate.

Go Lord Striker! Go Striker Clan!

Your loyal officers are behind you all the way and we will not be denied!

[j-a-k]

it seems pointless to me that striker can just sit up there on his "throne" and not have to worry about anything. i mean will any of his officers ever realize that they can just break away... we need to start a revolution and take down lordstriker. it can be done and we need to unite the rest of the KoC world.

are you for real?

Do you have the slightest ideea of what it means to have a top account?

I`m sure you dont!

You wont belive the ammount of stress that builds up when you deal each day with flaming, backstabs, accusations, whines, complaints, traitors, insults, unjustice, etc.

LS is dealing with that for 2 years now... let me see just 1 of you cry babays that can take 1 quarter of what LS has to deal every day.

All you can do is flame a human being that has worked his butt off for his clan for more then 2 years. Everyone is against him for no other reason then the fact that he is the best in what he does.

If anyone deserves respect and to win KOC, that person is LS.

Keep it up LordStriker!!! We are suporting you.

[Wararyuu]

Acctually..i would like to see someone new win..No one but Relentless ,SC or even PR are ever top three for the end...Maybe Sweet_Shadow will win..i mean he isn't really any of the older alliances so it would be nice to see a new Super-Power join the ranks.

GO Sweet_Shadow!!!

[ssmythe]

Ledsock

No-one "massed" Inktank - he had gained thousands of soldiers from "fake clickers" and on purpose left a considerable proportion of his army as untrained - every noob and his dog attacked because they could when the size limits on attacking were lifted. If he didn't want to lose his army, he could have attack trained with a couple of turns of gold. Who am I? I used to lead Elite with Garnett ;)

The age is barely a month old and LordStriker has Hand of God already :sleepy1: KoC definitely has become two games now - the top 100 say, and then everyone else - at least in age1 and age2, smaller players / alliances could make a difference to the outcome of an age - sadly this is no longer true :(

[iruj]

I have to agree with Ledsock, if anyone deserves to win this age it's LS

[Bamby]

LS does not deserve to win.

He does nothing but act like a spoilt brat.

Attacking people for leaving his chain on numerous occasions.
Sticking his nose into other alliances bossiness.
Uses the classic excuse: "But they started it".
And other suff I can't say because that would be accusing him of "cheating"

[Primenal]

I really don't care who wins. I just thought it was retarded to threaten one of your officers just cuz they leave. Not like his officer attacked him or anything before he left.
So, for that simple reason I will root against him, but do not really care who wins. Hopfully, it's interesting though in the end.

you are going by pure assumption in this argument, not one thing you have said is valid as you have not proven any of this to be a fact.

next time you claim about things, provide legit and valid proof first or dont comment about it.

ps. this is borderline flame. be careful on your choice of wording.

There are other examples

[Flotsam]

Get a life people.
It's a game not real life.
Who cares whether LS or anyone else has 10 million Hands of God?
Try tearing your eyes away from the computer for a few hours and you will discover there is actually a world out there.
Quit whinging.
If KoC and LS are your biggest problems in life then you are either very lucky, very stupid, or very sad.

[Primenal]

I never understood people like that. They have such an incredible life themselves that they make an acct on a forum...Log on, and tell all the others to GET A LIFE!
Quite ironic.
I personally only log in maybe 2-3 times a day, but even if someone logs in 200 times a day that's there business.

[boriszima]

Why does ls deserve to win?
the person who deserves to win is the one who comes in first and does not do anything that is against KOC rules. as far as i know even if person from pr rf or lop wins, that means they deserve it. maybe ls should give up this game and move on with his life. or maybe 3rd try is a good luck charm

and i liked leds post. as ssmythe said inktank untrained and let lovi win the age. the rest of ages battle was fought between two rivals and the smarted/strongest one won each age.

oh yeah, LS always likes to pull off some crap and use crappy physcology that other person/alliance is a guilty one. that trick might work on younger players, but this game is also being played by more mature ones as well. he does what he wants and needs.

I am not sure why there is a lot of hate for LS, but i think first impression had a huge dent into him. i am talking about his first days of clanrecruiter. he never recovered afterwords.

what you fail to realize is that this may be the 'real life' to some people. just like football and bball, xbox and ps2, basically anything done for fun.

this is an entertaining outlet for some, which many people enjoy and that some dun. and if you dun fit this niche, then maybe you, yourself, should not involve yourself with such affairs and move on with your own 'real life.'

ehh..i think that came out much harsher than what was meant=]

Kaka

Maybe my previous statement also came out harsher (or more flippant?) than it was meant to.

But what you also fail to realise is that some people in these forums don't seem to be getting much "fun" out of the game. There's talk of bullying, hacking, cheating - and probably alot more but I haven't read all the threads. Doesn't sound much like "fun" or "entertainment" to me.

When it gets to the point where people are talking about the need to pass on account details in case they die or fall into a coma so that other players can continue playing at the same level (that was a discussion I just read in another thread), well I think then it has become more than just an entertaining outlet.

So, in that sense you're right - I don't fit into this niche because I've never seen the point in bullying, threatening and so on. And, although I love the game and enjoy the forums from time to time, I would feel I had some serious problems if I was so obsessed with KoC that I had to make plans for my KoC account in the unlikely event of my sudden demise or fall into a comatosed state.

To view KoC as "real life" as you suggest some people may do is, at the very least, unhealthy in my opinion - and remember, it is just an opinion.

Enough said.

By the way, just exactly how much gold does a Hand of God cost?!

Have fun everyone.

(And I don't care what anyone says - it IS still only a game. It's not real life so lighten up).

[Primenal]

That post was better...Although, I'd say 90% of the people playing KOC, if not 95% are not *Addicted*. Lots of people quit whenever they realize they'll never be in first place, and have no chance. The rest log in couple times a day, couple days, etc.
So, just cuz you read one thing that doesn't mean that 120,000 people playing here are like that.

[NovaAlliance]

Since this thread is about Hand of God, how much does it cost?

[Denny]

Age 3 Beta saw Orc00, LordStriker, DeusPayne, Flurffmeister, OmegaSt0rm, and Denny_D bouncing around in the top 10 rankings, due to mass attacks, hackings, bannings, sabbings, and errors in the game. Yet again, LS came in second to Orc00.
I came in second (it was DennyD by the way, no underscore). Striker was quite a few ranks down, due to losing all his weapons to sab not long before the Age ended.

I thought he finished #11, although somebody else recently told me it was #6. He definitely wasn't in the top 5, and possibly not even in the top 10.

He could have finished with a much better rank if he hadn't made the amazing mistake of attacking somebody even though he knew his weapons had all been sabotaged a few days before - thereby causing him to lose all his attack weapons as well as his defence.



Since this thread is about Hand of God, how much does it cost?
1.3 billion gold.

[kjell]

I thought he finished #11, although somebody else recently told me it was #6. He definitely wasn't in the top 5, and possibly not even in the top 10.

I think it was #6 or #7, im pretty sure Deuspayne was #6 and Ls behind him.

[xETx]

i heard somewhere that the clan recruiter .....that ls made it so he would make the most profit from it then it backfired lol 1.3 bill for a hand of god? i can barely get 1.3 mill

[kaka duck]

as with all things competition, there will always be a bit of 'husky' behavior.

look at football. a lot of unscrupulous activity there.

but yah know what..?

you learn to accept it.

why?

because it's juss become a part of the game.

it's something that cannot completely be eliminated (unfortunately).




When it gets to the point where people are talking about the need to pass on account details in case they die or fall into a coma so that other players can continue playing at the same level (that was a discussion I just read in another thread), well I think then it has become more than just an entertaining outlet.

i concur with you completely on this.

hell, i was involved in that thread=)




So, in that sense you're right - I don't fit into this niche because I've never seen the point in bullying, threatening and so on.


obviously, you're not heavy into sports -- or play much of it=]




And, although I love the game and enjoy the forums from time to time, I would feel I had some serious problems if I was so obsessed with KoC that I had to make plans for my KoC account in the unlikely event of my sudden demise or fall into a comatosed state.


again, i totally agree.




To view KoC as "real life" as you suggest some people may do is, at the very least, unhealthy in my opinion - and remember, it is just an opinion.


i think i was a bit ambiguous in my statement of 'real life.' what i actually meant, is that it's acceptable to have a dose of conviction in the game -- but not to the point of it bECOMING your life.

that is, if the game is affecting you to the point where it's over-coming your inhibitions (in a way that you're acting out your anger/frustrations in a negative way); then thas when you know it's become unhealthy.




(And I don't care what anyone says - it IS still only a game. It's not real life so lighten up).

.

He could have finished with a much better rank if he hadn't made the amazing mistake of attacking somebody even though he knew his weapons had all been sabotaged a few days before - thereby causing him to lose all his attack weapons as well as his defence.

If he knew his weapons were sabbed, then attacking someone couldn't be called a mistake. My guess is someone stole a lot of gold from him so he made a rash hasty decision and just attacked the guy back. This has happened a number of times. Incidently LS, you still haven't told us why you attacked Denny those 2 times at very the end of last age? People gave possibile reason but you said you had other reason. I think the age is far back enough for you to share them now ;)

Baloo

[Denny]

He didn't answer because it was so obvious. He attacked just in case I sold some more of my weapons off to Lor20.

Your reasoning about "it wasn't a mistake, it was a rash hasty decision" makes no sense at all. Of course it was a mistake, it cost him most of his remaining armory! It was a rash hasty decision that was also a really damn big mistake.

[archdruid_tr]

He didn't answer because it was so obvious. He attacked just in case I sold some more of my weapons off to Lor20.

i think he attacked u to kill ur spies and sentries while ur da is lower than his sa. did u lose any spy or sentry in ls's attacks?
btw why u didnt sold some of ur da to buy ghook? i didnt calculate but it looks like ur da is big enough to take #1 da after making ur spy #1

My DA wasn't lower than his SA. No, I didn't lose anything important when he attacked, no gold and no spies/sentries, just a few mercs.

Yes, I could have done the same thing that Striker did, sell DA to spy, and kept Lor20 at #2, if I'd noticed him doing it. Give him some credit for timing, he didn't exactly wave a big flag saying "here's what I'm going to do, hope you don't think of a way around it now" :)

This is all a bit behind us now anyway... ancient news. I'm sure there must be something more interesting going on these days to discuss...

[Gosh-]

I'm just glad to see that Lord_Striker has recently acquired Hand of God. After like 3 weeks he has 1.6 million soldiers and Hand of God. I wish I was Lord_Striker....


You wanna be LS?? that was a joke right? :bpeace:

[Baloo-DM]

He didn't answer because it was so obvious. He attacked just in case I sold some more of my weapons off to Lor20.

Now this is going back a but so im having to strectch the old memory here.

Yes, you could have sold more weapons to Lor20 but it would so be unlikely that he would attack at the right time. Idk, unless you guys at the top spend about 30 mins over a sell-off ;) For me its just sell, attack, spend. There seems to more to loose in the way of merc losses and weapon damage than the smallest chance of attacking you at the right time. It also seems he didn't even attack you around the time of you lowering your DA but a few hours later. Oh well

[Falc0St0rm]

I have done the same thing before, attacking when i think there is going to be a sell off or what not, I have missed more then hit but its still fun.

I agree with most of my Striker Clan mates on one point:

Lord Striker being #1, is like the Striker Clan being #1. Denny was #1 last Age and so PR was #1 for Age 3. Whatever, you win some and you lose some. Also, SC and PR won't be around forever (don't get me wrong, I will stay with the Striker Clan as long as it is around). I mean, look at Relentless Family. Samething can happen to SC and PR at anytime.

It isn't like they "win" anything. Now, you will see a break-up of big Alliances and Clans when a prize for being #1 at the end of the Age is interduce. Which of course, will never happen...

[kaka duck]

not necessarily.

i think it's juss as important (if not more) that more of the alliance/clan members are on top.

so in my book, irregardless of the 1st place winner, if you have more of a certain team's members on the top ranks; then they, themselves are the winning team.

after all, this game is more about team gamesmanship than anything.

[I_m_gonna_win]

Yeah the alliance with the most people ranked high kinda wins ;)

Because who would want to join an alliance with every member under the top account ? It doesn't seem very fair for loyal members.

I think the accomplishment as a team is to get your top account as high as possible and therefore I joined a neutral chain because otherwise, no matter how much soldiers you gave your alliance's top account, another alliance would still get half of it ;)

That is unless you are already under denny or ls ofcourse.

But anyway, congrats to all people that made it in the top 100 because I'm sure it takes a lot of time to accomplish this, unless you're a cheater like that einzhe guy from last age :p

i second that.. thats really hard work, espically with this age being so competitave

[Gosh-]

pwned! denny got a hog too :p

[Des-Maistah]

Well...It's always a quite good feeling to have a hand of god ^_^ But say Denny had a Citadel and LS had a HoG, and they had an equal number of IS, Denny would have a better DA anyway. And he DID have a better DA. So I don't really understand his hasty decision.

Last age, LS didn't hurry up for a HoG... The top 7 had HoG, except for LS, for about 2 or 3 weeks.

[Davie]

also hes been bankings IS's due to personal resons so he doesnt have to spend so much time on koc...well thats what i think

[Des-Maistah]

He is banking so hard on IS so Striker can't take rank #1 Defense, AND he is dwarves. Lor_20 is banking quite hard on BPM AND is Orcs, so Striker can't get SA ranked #1
No idea who is going for the covert rankings ^_^

[DoubleDonk]

If you're not part of a huge command chain, or an alliance/clan, what do you think's about the highest one could expect to be? Last age I used a click program constantly and eventually got a buttload of guys, but I wasn't getting money quite fast enough to train them, so my rank suffered. This age my rank has gone up quite a bit because once i get a few soldiers, I wait forever & try to train them all and get them weapons before I use the program. So what do you think the highest I could get is? I've got a commander w/ no commander and two officers each w/ a couple more officers.

[SuFFeR]

I LOVE the people who say "LordStriker is going to win the age since he has the most people and most noobs/click monkeys under him"

Am I part of SC? NO.. Am I part of ANY KoC alliance? NO, so dont say that i am "biased" to any one side or the other... but here is a little info for some of the "newer" (people that have only played since age3) KoC players.

As Stephen Kenny said in the first page... NO AGE has EVER been won by the person who was on top the longest (besides age3... but age3 was retarded anyway.. so there) Like Stephen... I also have been around a long time (since age0 if you are wondering... and YES age0 did exist, and if any of you idiots think it didnt... blow me) Lets use some info from my memory shall we?

Age0, Death Hippo was on top most of the age... and in the end Cr1s1s won...
Age1, Sagus/Inktank were on top most of the age... and in the end Loviaroth_cL won
Age2, LordStriker was on top most of the age... and in the end orc00 won
Age3 beta, LordStriker was on top the most... and in the end orc00 won
Age3, for the first time, Denny who was on top most of the age (if not all..) won
Age4? My predictions is that LS will do something stupid again, and Denny will win

Now why do I think like this? Cause its what happaned to him in age2 and age 3 beta... he did something very stupid which cost him the win (the best part is... he has spent soooo much money on the hostings/coding of the recruiters.. that winning the xbox would still mean he is out a few hundred dollars)

So for those of you bitching about how LS will win this age... shut up... pls. Might he win? Hell yeah, but I will keep my money on Denny.

[Bighead]

Remember InkTank and Sagus from Age 1? They reigned supreme for the most part of the Age. Then they were both dethroned off the top 2 spots all of a sudden seemingly right at the end of the Age. It just goes to show that anything can happen in KoC. Most people have their money on Denny or LS (I'm for Denny) but really it's open season.

*Also, to my knowledge InkTank was apparently a 30 year old cartoonist who quit KoC after Age 1. If anyone has any information contradicting this feel free to let me know.

[kingkenny]

u seen the stat difference between striker and denny posted in the Top rankings discussion suffer?well if you have you will see striker is long way above LOR's attack, and miles above denny's spy and sentry, denny still caning in DA, but now that he is out of LOR's reach he will be keeping all his TBG, which is larger than denny's. Unless he gets hacked i dont see a way he can loose now

[SuFFeR]

He is LS, he will find a way to screw up, just like age2... just like age3 beta

and you are most likelly in SC, therefore your opinion is void

[kingkenny]

you looked up my chain? nop, well you will see i have no affiliation with SC or PR, or any of the large alliances. my oppinion is not biast, just based on the facts laid out in the Top Rankings Discussion. Unless he gets hacked or lor gets above his DA again i dont see a way for him to loose

[SuFFeR]

Well, his stats were far above anyones in age 3 beta... but guess who got second?

and pls, I refuse to go to that futile website anymore ^^

[Diversion]

legolasa sold pretty much all sa and probalby spy and sentry and bought hog and has a very impressive da now lol ^^

[Gosh-]

go lego!!! and suffer, just bcos he made teh mistake twice, it doesnt mean he is doing it again. But i sure hope he does :p

[Denny]

Well, his stats were far above anyones in age 3 beta... but guess who got second?
Me. Striker wasn't even in the top 5 at the end of Age 3 Beta.


Well...It's always a quite good feeling to have a hand of god ^_^ But say Denny had a Citadel and LS had a HoG, and they had an equal number of IS, Denny would have a better DA anyway. And he DID have a better DA. So I don't really understand his hasty decision.
I bought my HoG now because I knew that I could safely save up the 1.3b gold required from my turn-gold, without having to sell any weapons to buy it (due to my DA being much higher than anyone's SA). If I'd left it until I needed it, I might not have had that safe DA margin to let me save up, and I would have had to waste a lot of gold by selling off some missiles or shields to buy the upgrade.


*Also, to my knowledge InkTank was apparently a 30 year old cartoonist who quit KoC after Age 1. If anyone has any information contradicting this feel free to let me know.
Inktank played Age 2 under a different name, but he went pretty much inactive not that far into the Age and didn't finish with a very high rank.

[akakak]

Ok.. they ALWAYS have the best stuff =p How much is it to upgrade to hand of god anyway?

[NERD_loserfreak]

umm hand of god is 1,310,720,000 thats a LOT of gold

[Lord_Kraak]

Listen, I agree that Lord Striker has worked very hard and is a veteran in KoC. I think that if you're stupid enough to think that he shouldn't be up there, you should knock your head into a wall :frusty: . There, I've made my point :wigglinge .

:):):):):):)
