Sad thing is we most likely would have landed a killing blow on their 2nd titan. But that is now in the woulda coulda shoulda land. This game is quit famous for backstabs and if it is happening or has happened then ***** it, oh well it’s a cowards methods, people to scared to fight so instead they plot. The best thing about this group is we had some “vets” that rage quit after the first hickup, and yet here I have a band of noobs that is willing to fight, defeat after defeat, and enjoy even the small victories when we get them. I am very proud of my group.

#1: 3:39. Cougar joins the fight in favor of Capitalism. To me that was clearly where it started to tip in their favor and I'm surprised that the communists have not pointed out that this is the only reason they lost.

#2: 4:00 Capitalist starts craving a Frikadel. Clearly they are too powerful due to lucky cravings.

#3: Seriously though, quite proud of this. We have had a lot of ups and downs, and we have a wealth of systems that are nowhere near where I want them. But in all my recollection of playing and watching videos here for 5 years now I do not ever recall a 20 person open world fight where this many people were willing to lose as much as they were (proportionate to the time elapsed in the server of course). Well done to both sides. I'm very proud and this motivates me greatly to ponder what it is that made a situation like this possible, and what I can do to make sure each expedition has interactions like this.

Betrayal being a large issue, stops many groups like this forming. Luckily most our group are hardworking individuals who wouldn't give up betrayal to start somewhere small again for a minor gain. Battles like these can only happen with lower Full and FedUp and easier foods to make. Making alts is a larger portion of PVP, aslong theirs a steady supply to make them, but not make foods OP to where they stop giving benefit to a certain degree of biles. (IE: easy to make wide range of foods that give goods bile but -90%. Low full and fedup) makes an easy way to create alts and keep a steady supply going. These foods are a nonviable option for larger character requiring more foods as a +40 to all biles is nice, but the 90% reduction prevents you from continously biling them like crazy.

As Judaism said, if you want expedition to be pvp pact. (MAIN reason i wanted to do the expedition) Then you have to make certain things easier and less tedius, base building, lower requirements on building supplies (IE: stone hedge: 1 granite 1 stone) Bases are going to be constantly raided and thats the fun part, making a way to make another constantly makes the game flow always happening. Perhaps speedup timber piles and coal clamps to be quicker, this speeds up early game. Allow double proficiency gain during expedition? You wouldnt have to include all these, just pick and choose.
My Idea could be completely ignored and possibly bad, but this would bring the old salem many others enjoyed in terms of raiding mechanics, Yet incorporate current ones.

lol what would there be to qq about even if they did drag it on purpose not only is there nothing underhanded about it you had 10 people

vets of this game have employed lumberlords, dbears, pelters, hydruckey swarms, mass quetzl chests and a whole host of **** as tactics. there is nothing deceitful or "plotting" about it, which by the way is also a valid tactic.
