Alpha and Omega Gets Hammered (Without even drinking alcohol)

Well if there ever was a time of "apocalypse" one would think it were today. In a massive show of power the folks over at New Alliance decided to raise the temperature a little around the globe. A volley of nuclear attacks began and included the cities of Dakar, New York City, Mosul, Addis Ababa, Alexandria, Kinshasa, Johannesburg, Tehran, Baghdad, Tehran (again), Lagos, Chicago, okay seriously no more listing of these cities because its starting to drone on. The idea is that it was a lot, okay? So many nukes went off that Alpha and Omega is sore from reading the list alone. Not only did Alpha and Omega lose their "top spot" but are now far past 5th in alliance standings. Not only that, nearly 200 million worth is UP FOR GRABS! Can Alpha and Omega ever recover from such an attack? Who will consolidate this new power ?

Soon, these questions will be answered. Until then, all I have to say is..."wowza"

Amazing. ;101

Ok that explains why the server suddenly has problems.
NAR nuked the server....literally....
This much valuable cities suddenly unoccupied and everyone is going for it.
My guess why it is suddenly slow...haven't checked yet.
Well...time to optimize(unradiate) the server again.

Oooops, didn't think of that. Sorry Luke :o


;nuke ;nuke ;nuke

Ok sorry for the temp stop of armies.
Had to optimize some armies.
Hope the forum is back up to speed.
Now to get back on topic.


Holy SMOKE!

Funny newsreport by the way. I'm expecting more will follow.

Hehe, yeah looks like NAR used a new way to bring AO down. A little slot machine in the casino rolled the dice and decided to start the apocalypse and change the whole world.... Well done NAR! Thats what i call "bring it on" (no offense Blitzy ;) ) and you hold your promise to bring us down. Using a very unpopular way for a wargame but still good work and of course we didnt stand a chance cause no one will ever stand a chance against the almighty slot machine, the most powerfull weapon in the Gewar world ;nuke :bang

We are just playing the game, like how AO NAPs with everyone and says, "We're just playing the game."

HEHEHEHEHEHE, none taken. We "came and got it on" for sure!

If the pen is mightier than the sword, then the slot machine must be considered mightier than the pen :)


All Hail the SLOT MACHINE!!!!!!!! :bow :bow


(And no, we have no weapons of mass destruction, AO has them all!)

We are just playing the game, like how AO NAPs with everyone and says, "We're just playing the game."

Hey Pest... i never said you re not playing the game. You do and you do it very well. In another way like most others but pretty good. Damn it, this post was for fun and irony not for pissing anyone off :cheesy
You know we love the fights with NAR...also its hard to fight a nuke spree ;drunk

All Hail the SLOT MACHINE!!!!!!!!

:D
Da rockin´almighty world changing slot machine ;pupok ;ipunk ;bgrin

The slots have been played a 150k times in 2 weeks.
Now if you fire 20 nukes, you spend a 100k geos.
Probably more then the enemy had inside those cities, but still fun.

But for the innocent ones....do you guys think nuke shields should again be cheaper?
If there are actually people who will play the slots a 150,000 times in 2 weeks, then ofcourse eventually they will go down again within 3 weeks.
Should it be even cheaper then a 1000 geos?

Impressive.

Very impressive.

Shame that I didn't realise the nuke shields went down...I got plans to nuke a city elsewhere...

Probably one of the funniest moments of this round.
Not just for NAR, but perhaps for AO as well. Doubt they had as much money in troops inside the cities as NAR spent.
Doesn't matter either way.
Great shaking up the game this way.
Even the server was upside down for a moment.
If there is a star for nuking...

Now only to resolve the matter if nuke shields should be cheaper before I receive complaints :p
And before I get complaints that its too easy to get the globes....I don't think so...but there is not much you can do against a bunch of people willing to play the slots a 150k times.

dont make them cheaper

Im a bit miffed as to how some people got their shields up so quickly..

Sometimes I think there is "account sharing" going on...

Woops. The administrator could've been nuked.
Thanks for reminding me.

And if there is account sharing going on, I"m sure the GEPD can find it out :furious
As soon as they log on into an account with another IP, it gets logged and shows the account name that is usually used with this IP adress.

;bravo Honestly, Pest I don't think Schlunz was out to rob your thunder or anything :growse
This is why we never turn our backs on NAR they a veteran alliance that has taught GEwar at large a lot of the tactics used today. So tell us did you give up jeweling and start hammering on the slot machine until one of you hit it or was it just a waiting game for some one to hit the jack pot before launching?

Of course you know that this won't keep AO down but I am not sure it was the point other then 'mixing it up'. We aren't ones to walk away though so we will see you on the battlefield.

I see, in this time, GEWAR really very lively, so long!good!

Probably one of the funniest moments of this round.
Not just for NAR, but perhaps for AO as well.

Thats for true... ;bgrin
Also i hope it doesnt happen every 14 days to the actual No.1 alliance. Lol... not that no one wants to be No.1 anymore then cause you can do absolutely nothing against it :D

...but there is not much you can do against a bunch of people willing to play the slots a 150k times.

Yeah but no one is losing much money in the long run by playing the slots i think, maybe you should take 2.5 geos per slot game out of the game to make it more balanced :p

I see, in this time, GEWAR really very lively, so long!good!

I agree, however, there is space for MORE WAR!

I thin we can attribute the activity to the large "bonus jewelling" period we had when the reset started. It really gave some newb alliances and even the old ones like NAR to give them the base to go and do MORE war.

It was quite funny really, we were in the chatroom all playing at the same time, budget was for 2 nukes each. The Brodie won a free nuke, then Pest, then brodie again (I think he bought it) and then POP Red Ivan posted NUKE SHIELDS DOWN
FRENZY!!!!!!!

I tell you though, congrats to sneeky and MARS and a few others who had their nuke shields up straight away! Riyadh was saved. ;smcry

@ Schlunz:Yeah thats possible. I thought I created the Skulls for that, which take the jackpot away.
That was to make sure nobody would be scripting the slots.
In the end you ALWAYS now lose geos.
You can never win by playing it all day.
Perhaps for playing it half an hour maximum.
And then only if more people are playing it as there is not jackpot that wins a 100%.
Right now, in theory, you could only win 60% of what you put in it. Max.
That includes the winning of nukes.

Though I can make it 30 days before it is possible to hit the nuke shields again(otherwise people will start counting the day and massively using the slots again in 2 weeks).

On the other hand I think this has cost a fortune and was done more for fun then for anything serious and won't be happening just like that again.


*UPDATE:
Oh my god...sorry AO, I really respect you guys but I did have a laugh while reading hits:

23:05:58 - February 27th, 2007The city of Tehran (http://www.gewar.net/war/city.php?city=80) was nuked by Nico (http://www.gewar.net/war/playerinfo.php?user=8). 3 defending armies were killed in the battle. dasfiend (http://www.gewar.net/war/playerinfo.php?user=2982) lost the city.

Was this to make sure? Or did dasfiend actually survive a nuke? :p

/me tips hat

Well done. ;ipunk

Yes, I thought 2 weeks are more appropriate!

well thank you blitz, i even tried to warn my alliance before saving my own citys, but you guys were really fast, thats why i lost moscow :nana

its ok though ;bravo

Cheaper!! What nonsense!
It takes a whole lot out of the game... and if I'm not mistaken it cost the same as a nuke... so ... which do you want to buy ??
nuke or the shield... confuised ? undeceided ?

hehehe that's part of the game !!

whoa !! and kudos to everyone for keeping GEWar lively !!
for those who need a little consolation... ;pet there there you poor thing ;pet

but I say ;i02 and have a :D

which do you want to buy ??
no,city or army. ;banana

I apologize to schulnz and AO if I rubbed them the wrong way. Reading these posts when you are all riled up from dropping nukes leads one to take statements the wrong way. Would have done this earlier but the server get on ****ping out on me.

Honestly, I look forward to playing the slots again. It was cheaper to win the nuke then buy it (don't forget the cost of taking two cities) and I was close to hitting another nuke once more. Watch out GEWar blind rage nuking is back!!! ;charge

man, im quitting AO and joining AOR!

;-)

LOL :D

And Pestilence its okay. No need for anyone to apologize. Just a game for fun. And AO and NAR always had and will have lots of it ;ipunk

WOW..
And all of you thought NAR was dead.

I think this is the biggest single attack in GEwar history ( without counting the times when they announced resets)

I knew we had been waiting for and going for it.....I told Red to text me if they went down. People in my office thought I lost my mind.....I'm running through the office trying to get to my computer babbling about the shields are down..hahahaha

17:16:11 - February 27th, 2007 The city of Dakar was nuked by WILDCAT1976. 6 defending armies were killed in the battle. RobCheerio lost the city.

as you can see i was a bit late....only got a small city...but was still fun....

All i can envision is this leprechaun running around a cubicle farm...

Make it stop!!! :growse

Well we actually thought about calling it OA
as in "Old Alliance" as we arn't that "New" anymore....

And let it be known . . .

that at 02:33 March 1st, 2007, a mere 31 hours after NA set the world ablaze with nuclear weapons, after Alpha and Omega was sent in a flaming pile down to 6th place, Alpha and Omega has once again retaken its rightful place at #1 in the alliance ranking. Once the dust settles, you can always plan on A&O being on top.



Ok, was that too over-dramatic? I think it was just right for the moment, but hey, I am a romantic

Eh? Good. More targets for next time.

SWEET....I thought it would take a bit longer...but.......yummy....i'd advise ya to pay attention to the shields this time around...eventually everyone will get tired of giving your cities back to you.......ok...back to slot land.....i've won 2 nukes today.....and just think..i got two weeks to win more....

And what does the rest of the GEWar community think of this?

I'm sorry, did you say something? I was mesmerized by your new avatar for a moment.

jk the rest of the community thinks "We'll see....."
