Furry Ed was born moaning, he twined through his formative years was briefly happy when he discovered beer then was told how much it cost (pre decimal too) and went back to moaning. He had brief happy time when he discovered girls then had kids as has moaned every since.

Last time he was truly happy when was Groundman told him why his grass wouldnlt grow on his lawn. Then he had a quote and guess what started to moan again.

Ed can often be found round the TFF campfire muttering "I remember when nobles cost just a few packets. None of these fancy pics too I tell you those were the days..."

Think sometimes nobles can be missed and find themselves out of range and needed to be used up as no use sitting there. Plus with players dropping out and big holes appearing in front lines it makes sense to build barbs for defense further back from front line to stabilize things

well like Hugh states, I had nobles in some areas that were useless, so used them up.

and others are for more defense needed to keep taking TFF villages deep into your territory. Getting expensive clearing all these madskills villages, that bugger was stacked ;P

I have never seen the point about nobling a 500 point barb but can see the merit in the above posts (sort of). But as players drop out (on both sides) surely these cut off nobles would be better off nobling the bigger barbs?

And the defensive thing again surely a ready made villa that can pump out your def would be better. I mean with Mads, battle pro, Not mastered Counting all gone barb then not a lack of targets surely?!

Finally, seriously think you guys have enough def already surely!

and others are for more defense needed to keep taking TFF villages deep into your territory.

um really not sure you meant that. I mean having just taken one of your villas can see the tiny dribbles of def coming in from your minions to keep you safe (timing timing timing!) But surely you need some off to take these villas deep in out territory and need to train your minions to get the def there quickly?

If you are saying you are taking 500 point barbs to build more def to send to new caps on inactive players then again think Ed was right and whats the point on the grounds of noble costs, time to build up villa and fact that dotted all over W3 are fully built villas.

But if all you are doing is building def villa after def villa after def villa and are so worried you are taking 500 points barbs to get yet more def and just the odd off villa to clear an inactive player then super stacking it when littered around are pre made villas does leave me a little :icon_eek:

I just can't see why anyone at this stage of W3 would take a 500 point barb. I mean whats the point!

Yes Jo, the timing was way off, ...

Like you've said before...the game has a way to make you look a fool and it was my turn...I "knew" i should have timed the support differently, but I went ahead anyway and I paid for my foolishness. Good going on your part pouncing so fast...otherwise, a day or so later, that village would be well anchored.

But on the point of nobling barbs...stop complaining...in fact everyone just stop complaining about it...to each their own and at least we're not nobling TFF with these barbs...so why you so concerned...Just go about your business, attack us, defend, do what ever, but each person has a game that we all pay to play, so leave it be.

With the market manager in play, nobling barbs are very easy to build...you can setup automatic trade routes and with the village manager taking care of it, you can noble it and almost forget about it until it's 9-10k and pumping out troops.

Play your game, we'll play ours...

Find something else to complain about.

I was not complaining, I asked the question why is it done? Now I have an answer.

So glad I looked in on here, seems few people have a lot of chips on their shoulders, and its not an alias check out W9

am not complaining about you taking barbs am just agreeing with Ed in whats the point in taking 500 point barbs thats all!

Don't get so well defensive about it :lol:

Liking the word pounce though we in Tff prefer the term swoop!

now this bit is just way off the mark as there is a LOT of defense coming into that villa but almost none of it is yours!!!!

But you say you should have timed the support in better and there was me thinking those accounts were your minions!!

silly me

Ahh yes I clearly see and know hugh hefner from uk3, my mistake:lol:

If you have not played this world then you don't need to comment on its settings?

And I see your point acheron mate, but surely now jon is barb you have a new target?? Or do they have too much def in them:icon_eek:

Surely its a case of people gloating and finger pointing reading back, no more than an exersise to belittle the opposition, runs both ways as well I see.

These forums are open for all not matter the worlds they play on, I see others on here passing comments.

yes but you cannot comment on the settings if you haven't been on this world for a decent time, which brings us full circle to that eluded question of "are you using an alias?"

No I am here on a recommendation of two friends who did play it and told me how dead it has become. I also have looked and don't seem to see your name around either in the lists. Alias for you, have you been on here this long that you have to hide your identity to hide your shame

I was well known as the rank 1 ODD and OD player for a while(under Triarii2d) and now help play the zzdan480zz account, which was known by quite a lot of death members as I still sign my name as Dan-Tri when I play on it(although I did play games with acheron for a while lol, making him guess who I played)

well very pleased to have you here posting so welcome!

guess there is 500 points there just not one

donlt understand what you mean here?

I think Ed was generally baffled about nobling 500 point barbs at this stage of W3. The Backwoods noble is no probs except are loads of big barbs to take.

but as folks say you guys play it your way and so forth and good luck to all!

Ah so your a bit like the scarlet pimpernel then, we seek him there we seek him everywhere, but his account is no longer running. I used to be is a nice turn of phrase, am I to presume that the high ODA and none existent account are the result of being rimmed and a fellow tribal member felt sorry for you and took you in and clothed and fed you?
Should have given up then if you where beat and moved to another world.
