News Story About Ruhrpott Landing Suffering from ads?

Well, GWT released a little info-clip about their war against CGN and how wonderful their victory was.

Maybe we can do the same thing about burning Ruhrpott. Of course, we'd add a bit of misinformation about how it's the "liberation front" and make it seem like a real invasion for conquest and whatnot, but the point remains.

GWT wouldn't be so giddy if they were the ones which the poinient comments were aimed at.

I would be willing to write such a thing if people liked the idea.

I think our actions should speak for ourselves.

It's funny how a lot of you say that we need to be better than "them."

Well, then why do we need to even brag about anything that is already painfully obvious to everyone in the game?

We came, we saw, we blah blah blah....

There's really no need for that.

And what if GWT thinks along the same lines as we do: that by pointing at Ruhrpott we think that GWT will concentrate on another target?

If GWT is smart, they know that we have to beat them up one way or the other, or they are going to win this. That implies that GWT might watch our movie from a different perspective than we think.

I say we shouldn't do it

Inflate your Upload Space

Do the same as GWT, write a story after the war is finished. And if you want, make it so they believe we're looking for another target right now. No need to write anything before the target has been destroyed, and the war won.

I don't see what the big deal about this is. This game is supposed to be fun. A little chagrin humor never hurt anyone. They prod us and we prod back.

Obviously, the content of what it said would be very important (so that we do not give away any intel), but that goes without saying.

Wait till things settle down a little. If it's posted immediately after the Ruhrpott operation, they may figure out we don't have any other boats out there.
