We need a sage button,

Gj FOE. Hopefully next sunday we'll see some clean fights between top 3 (was there even one y'day?). The topic is pretty biased but I wouldn't expect any less from you after the past few weeks :happy: Hope you keep it up next week.

I don't think any of the top pure clans match top 10 main clans in PKing... perhaps outside the top 10 you might find organization comparable to pure clans.

Excuse me?

It does lower opts and its a fact you'll learn if you stick around pure clans as long as I have. Usually it's because the apps/people without IRC dont know whats going on so they just use it as an excuse to skip the trip. ps. FOE forums have been hacked in the past too, and you did pull lower than normal. I gud memory.

#1 for 2 sats, 3rd to confirm? C'mon MM we want a fight. Very impressive pull with forums down for 5 days.

It's funny how you disguise your late failure by proposing that you have been protesting against pure warfare somehow, and then when you find a win you find it compelling to make a topic just to say "Well, we don't really care about publicity, but..." Anyway gj i guess although you dont post any proof of these supposed battles.

8. Hella makes a topic on pure warfare for seemingly no reason at all 9. Marty is lolling at all the attention he gets (his mother didn't love him enough when he was a kid) 10. Hella realizes that posting a pure warfare topic was a stupid thing that only achieved flaming, only person to benefit being the villain 11. Alec does a rollback and things go back to normal, in a week nobody remembers what happened

Read the history when forums are back on, I just updated it.

Might feel like years but actually just 10 months ago we shared #1 with 90+ pulls and Charles leading. Unless you mean absolute unchallenged #1, I guess that would take us almost a few years back :tongue:

Will be up shortly, thanks for the extra attention whoever got their hands on acp.

Public healthcare is excellent, but I'm not sure if it will ever work in the states because it's not beneficial to so many influential parties, and we all know that politics in the US is all about the lobbying of these same parties; individuals and companies that benefit from privatized healthcare, for example the insurance industry. The lobbying is very efficient. Opinions are turning against the healthcare reform with the support of the beneficiary parties. So is the loyal herd of sheeps that is the american public, which gets its "opinions" mostly from right wing media supported by those same corporate lobbyists that affect the political parties too. All political agenda aside, who in their right mind would be against an effective public healthcare reform? Any country that wishes to one day call themselves civilized needs to provide their citizens with the basic necessities of life; food, water, shelter, health. That's just how it is. If you throw the sick and homeless to the streets it'll just rot your country and eventually turn it to a 3rd world hellhole. I guess another option would be to just execute them like the nazis did but there are ethical reasons why that can't be done. "But I don't want to spend my precious money to support some lazy bums who could just as well support themselves if they were not freeriders" - Yeah nobody wants to spend their hard earned money but it has to be done. Often the poor people have a reason other than plain lazyness, they may be too sick to work physically or mentally, there might be no work because of the local economical situation, or yeah they might just be lazy and want to live for free. The amount you pay in taxes for a working public healthcare easily pays back in long term. The improvements can be seen anywhere if you just crawl out of your suburb nest for a while, better environment, healthier and happier people, who are now also able to work. I think that's one of the sufficient standards for a democractic society; nobody is denied the ability to work in normal circumstances. That is if they are not permanently damaged so that they can't. The willingness to work is another thing, it can't be forced and the only option is just to put that much trust in your fellow citizens. tl;dr Forget what you've been told about who wants what and who benefits from what, think for yourself for once. Think about who really benefits from a better public healthcare. Hint: it starts with the first letter of your name. ~Nip

Castle luring :thumbsup: my team was teh hawtness, I remember making like 10m from F2P castle luring in a few months. Then I had to keep priv off all the time because people kept asking me to come castle luring :confused: That wasn't so long ago tho @`Mo slapids and pure miselfs were all terrible leaders as were all aps leaders that I can recall, but I guess it depends on the comparison. I had the privilege of comparing them to the best pure clan leaders ever like 3 Hit, Old pk3r and Jibs.

Oh that I didn't know. Wow he really sucked back then, but then again all masser leaders did. I cried irl when I went warring with massers on my lowbie pure, the leaders were always idiots and half of them didn't even know their way around wildy. Guess things change in a few years. Interesting to notice that so many people here started pure pking around the masser period in wildy, first war experiences thus being with aprons, ds, pinkies, s0 (the fake one) and whatnot, whereas the old pure clanners came from small friend-based teams and solo pking. Well we did have wars back in the old days but no massing, that came in 2006 or something. I'll post some _old_ pics when I get on my own comp, not that anyone here could remember any of those events.

When EOP closed for the first time in 2006 we agreed with Old that EOP members who met FI reqs could join without applying, even in that case I wouldn't say that EOP closed into us because we only got 5 or so EOP members. Not everyone from C and CD joined FI, we got perhaps 15 apps together from both clans and their combined ML was closer to 150. DP, EOP and MM all got apps from C and CD as well, we just got a vast majority. This is as much because many of their ranks applied for us as well as the fact that we're very much on the rise right now. Summer F2P preds 1. Fatality 2. Mayhem Makers 3. Erruption of Pures 4. Final Ownage Elite 5. The Last Pures

With "Carnage asked" and "CD asked" you prolly mean that one/more of their members/ranks joined FI and encouraged others to do the same. With "closing into" I understand that a clan closes and merges with another clan, which is not what happened. P2P preds 1. FI/FOE - Depends very much on the pulls, if they're close we'll see some good fights. FOE has sign ups so might outnumber slightly. 2. FI/FOE 3. MM 4. TLP/DP 5. TLP/DP

We didn't have anyone close into us, a lot of people chose to apply for us though which is always positive. 1. FI/MM - with a good pull from MM it will be an interesting fight for the absolute #1 2. ^ 3. FOE 4. EOP/DP - Looks like EOP is pulling their **** together recently, going for the top? 5. ^

Sorry for crashing, bad scouting. Gj on your wins, looked close against DP.

blck, ssj, why craig... http://rs-fi.com/index.php?showtopic=26281 Good job on the trip guys, this is what I want to see every saturday.

Vid of the round EOP lost? Your organization seemed superior in the 2 rounds visible on the vid. Top notch as expected after facing you in miniwars in the past. Also, how many did FOE sit? GJ on your victory.

EOP are also the F2P mini champions for like a year now, I'm not even mildly surprised that they did.

Averages have nothing to do with the early recruitment of a pure clan (if it does for higher clans, personally I couldn't care less). What matters is a good and active core rank team that recruits, is friendly to apps and listens to them. This same active rank team should be prepared to keep it going for at least a year nonstop, no matter how succesful the trips are. Numbers are not a must, there is a large variety of pure clans and you'll always find someone to fight unless you're alone on the top or alone at the bottom. To keep a clan going you need good athmosphere and good trips, that's it. Why did FI slump last autumn? We had a few bad trips because we were pushing too hard, that led to a bad athmosphere, which led to even worse trips. This happened because we lost our capable ranks 1 by 1. The only difference in present day pure clans is that the competition is tougher due to the environment... in old wildy any low/mid clan could easily avoid higher clans and concentrate on killing their competition/random teams. With 2 BH and 2 PvP worlds that's just not possible anymore, you have to be ready to get smashed by a larger clan and just remass and return.

Says the guy who was in FOE when FI was slumping :whistling:

Respect FOE, GJ FI

GJ TLP, nice to see DP has found competition. Or did you find them?
