The Siege of the Foozle

AeliosAelios
edited August 2014 in The Matsuhama Arena
Not a complaint, just a very hilariously odd situation that I got a good laugh out of.

Location : Rally Point, in Targossas.





After @Jhui learned what was going on, all offensive action stopped and he helped me write out the bug report. Hats off for not abusing it!

IDEA: Make guards attack NON-Foozle event joiners. The simple fact that once a Foozle begins, guard stacks become worthless to raid defense, allowing the enemy to literally blow up any rooms without fear of guard positions, at great cost if they decide to kill guards.

In the end, a big "What in the..." // laughing moment by virtually everyone involved, including @Jhui.

Timing on this one couldn't have been better! :smiley:

    Yea it was rather embarrassing I kept calling for help trying to figure out WTF the guards were doing.

    Foozle comes up right before room blows up.

    Me: "We got room, let them Foozle."

    Jhui: "K, one more DBomb!"


    death

    death

    death

    death


    Me: "Why are you not dead?"

    Jhui: "Don't come! Guards bugged vs me!"


    Me: "Hm.... oh god, the Foozle!"

    Tharos, the Announcer of Delos shouts, "For those of you who think I care about which city is raiding which other city, or who is whining more than the other. I don't. I care about the Foozle! So Foozle off!"



    Looks like the time to raid now is during events, as guards are disabled and nobody gives a damn.

    Oh yes, but this time, people AND guards are the targets.

    Don't know about you, but I simply don't wish to play something so unbalanced. @Tecton might want to look into this, as it's becoming a pattern now.

    (3 Events that I can recall, alone)

    NO you killed the guards after the foozle started.  I was already on my way to my ship when those guards died.  Which was after the foozle was announced
  • DunnDunn
    Uh no we killed guards before the foozle started.

    I doubt taking advantage of foozle was their intention. Likely combination of coincidence and the admin behind Tharos "foozling it up" so to speak.

    I think @Jhui has broken the equilibrium barrier and has become a seer. 

    We knew the foozle would happen.

    It is the middle of the night in Achaea.

    In your world, it is 2014/09/17 02:18:02 GMT and 2014/09/16 18:18:02 in your configured timezone.
    See HELP GMT for an explanation of GMT.

    If it's 02:18 now, that means the foozle started at 01:57. Guards were slain at 01:48/01:51.


    Just for the record.

    I legit counted like 12 calls for help, was hilarious.
  • CarmellCarmell Eastern Washington
    hmm ok i re-looked at the time stamps and the foozle did start after the guards died.  That still doesn't help the fact that the foozle started after a sanctioned raid started yet again and this should not keep happening.  What made it worse was Tharos saying he didn't give a crap.  Really that puts a bad taste in the mouth of most Targossians.  When it's been us this has happened to more then once now.
  • MizikMizik
    We were raiding before with guards being called on every encounter. We singled out one guard and killed it, then the event started as we were trying to kill a stack of 3.

    the alternative rant that you'll never see an Ashtani make because we're not complainers: "Tharos started that foozle just to end our raid.  WTF, just when we had a good raid going, we have to stop it because of a world event.  Geez."


    Lesson:  Always see both sides kids

  • AeliosAelios
    Seems like a little bias man, not going to lie. The one side gets the only 'solid' defence mechanism disabled for some event, and the other 'has to suffer' not killing defenders for 30 minutes.

    Hard knock life, I suppose.

    we left after you guys rushed - specifically because of the foozle.  If I weren't sapiencing Linus and saw you guys were coming to fight, we would have left when it started.  Imagine if you had won that last encounter, you would not have posted.  Forums is the worst place to go after a defeat, but does make for good entertainment for everyone else, so I won't say not to do it :smile:

    When you lose on one battlefield, you take the fight to another. It's a sound strategy.
    Holy shit Iocun is alive.
