Algona, are you really suggesting that aiming to come in 3'rd or 4'th is a good strategy
Absolutely. Maybe. Depends on what the Guild goals are and what we collectively want out of GBG. Lacking that information and based on Tony's scenario of just choosing between
A) being promoted to Diamond with it's demoralizing effect on the Guild, or
B) Manipulating Guild placement to avoid promotion.
my decisions is simple. I'll take B.
Note werl! There are alternatives that have been dismissed, namely a bit of diplomacy. See below.
FOE is a strategy game, but when a good strategy is to avoid coming in 1'st or 2'nd, doesn't that suggest that maybe the problem is with the game?
Great question. No, the 'problem' arises from there being multiple goals / Rewards for GBG. Different goals can make for different strategies.
Given up to 8 Guilds per League and only one can win, isn't having multiple possible goals and strategies a good thing?
Since you avoided and/or did not answer the question, you agree there is nothing you can do this season to be competitive. Furthermore, you point to me, but I'm not the only one in this same situation.
No, I haven't answered your question because I'm trying to drive home that you are the one putting your Guild in this situation. When I did start to answer, you dismissed that out of hand,
What would I do? I pointed you towards the best answer to your specific scenario a few posts back. It's how my Guild in W, with 1 Oceanic, 1 Arctic, and 3 Future players has managed to stay in Diamond for 9 months.
It's the same answer I gave to folk asking the same question weeks after GBG started.
No point with further arguing, you'll either get it eventually or not. Either way, it ain't my problem.
