Your first two replies were from players that can't compete for top spots on any server they play, so they adjust their game goals accordingly. A few good netters stopped playing FFA the last few rounds because of it.

No war dec needed. Just a few guys on the other side taking out the trash.

#18 took a gamble and broke GDI on more than one player too.

#58 is clearly a negative value add to the server. There are ways to do what he is doing profitably, and he is not doing them.

That said, I don't agree that the server is only for netting. This is the only server where you can get a solo kill, and warring 1v1 is fun with all the turns. The only real solution is more players, unfortunately that's not happening.

To summarize: you're someone who enjoys war who believes that the netgainers ruined the alliance server. If you asked the netgainers, they would claim that the warrers ruined the alliance server. You do understand this, right?

I guess I'll make the point more directly: suppose one of those old school players came back and ran an amazing TTR. He grabs your alliance with his country and he has so much defense that no one in your tag can retal him. Would you send him an ingame message congratulating them? Or would you kill his alliance? This is rhetorical btw.

Or to make it even more directly, here's a recently revived tag of old school players who seems to be strongly advocating for your preferred playstyle: https://www.earthempires.com/...intent-52609?t=1716241388 . How has that gone for them so far? This is also rhetorical btw.

Fellow Warriors of Earth Empires,

For years, our conflict has followed the same tired cycle. We rally for war knowing full well that when the dust settles, our endless griping about the outcomes is all that remains. Every time war looms, we jump into the fray only to fall back into the same patterns of bickering and division.

Just look at our history: we've spent years fighting each other over scraps of victory and blame, never pushing hard enough to truly build something lasting. Our endless disputes have made it clear—unless we can break free from this cycle of infighting, we'll never unite to recruit new strength or rebuild our lost glory. We’ve become so consumed by our petty grievances that any real collective progress has become nearly impossible.

Maybe it's time to face the hard truth. Our current system isn’t getting us anywhere. If we continue to tear each other apart without any real attempt at collaboration or renewal, all we’re left with is stagnant chaos. Perhaps the only way to break free from this perpetual loop is to let the old, worn-out ways burn away—clearing the field for a fresh start built on unity and rebirth.

Sound harsh? Maybe. But we've spent too long pretending things will improve on their own. The future of Earth Empires isn’t in more of the same old fighting but in boldly letting go of our broken past so that something new can rise from the ashes.

This message captures both the frustration of years spent in recurring conflict and the radical desire for a fundamental change. It’s a call for us to look at our actions honestly—if we don’t start working together or rethinking our approach, we’re doomed to repeat our history again and again.

If you’d like to explore ways to channel this dissatisfaction into a constructive plan (or at least a more organized rebellion), we can brainstorm ideas on how to foster genuine collaboration instead of merely tearing things down.

I was trying to make amends / extend the olive branch to the guy who hit me from behind the prior round (from behind as I was already in a prior war and I was spent) but he ignored and left my messages on read, so I wanted to spar and train to be ready for the next time he cheap shots the real champ of rock’em, sock’em

The deletion of the team server has been moved forward by one month due to this thread.

I've always felt that a true badass wouldn't need to lie about anything. The truth should just speak for itself. That's clearly a minority opinion around here though.
