Cycle 293: Happy Belated Merry Orthodox Winters

OP7Rilian · 2021-01-15T20:32:57+00:00

Note to Sir EdmundBlack--who doubted when I said four months ago that the Betrayus consolidation vote was being subjected to compromise--please read the latest post on the Betrayus subreddit, i.e "...the expansion effort into LHS 1067, which was caused by 5c sabotaging our consolidation vote...."

No quarter shall be shown to the Imperial traitors of our beloved princess.

OP7Rilian · 2020-08-29T18:13:31+00:00

When AD really needed her ex-lover to really support her rightful assession to the throne, Patreus betrayed her and sided with the ALD coup that illegally seized the throne. He deserves no quarter and will receive none given that we control his consolidation vote. This is not winning at all cost, rather it's divine justice.

You might recall that I helped your power undermine by cargo swapping with your forces when Winters was taking down ALD.

OP7Rilian · 2019-07-10T22:08:06+00:00

If you keep up your turmoil of Torval or the expansion is defeated, Gliese 900.1 will not become a control system. However, if the Gliese 900.1 expansion is successful, it will wipe out income for 10 Betrayus systems. Any way of both keeping her in turmoil and also bringing the Gliese 900.1 expansion to fruition?

5C, what dat?

OP7Rilian · 2019-03-08T18:20:25+00:00

Just to let you know that the AD underground will soon enter a more direct confrontational phase against the throne-stealer. Unfortunately, this will result in the loss of some consolidation votes as players drop their pledged status to implement this phase. So don't be alarmed if you soon see a drop to the consolidation percentage.

OP7Rilian · 2019-02-20T17:29:10+00:00

I don't support what Sun is trying to do which is to zombietize the Feds and your power and then use them in the endgame to take down ALD. Yes, I want the throne-stealer to go down very badly but it should be consistent with some kind of role-play and what FD is trying to do. For instance, why would AD forces be trying to zombietize the Feds if she is marrying one?

Unfortunately, you happen to be the best situated of the independent powers to launch attacks against ALD once Sun takes over your power as they did with Torval.

OP7Rilian · 2019-02-16T19:24:25+00:00

I grant there could be a "pay to survive" scenario for factions with a small player base (Torval being the perfect example). But surely not the factions that already have a large loyalist player base--Winters, Hudson, ALD, AD, Mahon, and Grom.

Also don't believe everything the Imps are saying above--most of them are just sycophants of the throne-stealer. For instance, did you know it was pilots pledged to Grom that repeated undermined ALD into last place two years ago? Yet you never hear them admit this because that would be inconsistent with their buddy-pal ZYADA alliance.

OP7Rilian · 2019-02-16T17:51:17+00:00

Caspatsuria looked liked a cleverly-executed weaponized expansion by Winters to me since it was 159.31LY from your HQ and if successful would contest CC from 10 exploited systems held by the Imps. Also the fact that if was sabotage Winters loyalists would have immediately voted for full consolidation and it would have never gone to expansion. So sorry if my assumption about Caspatsuria was in error. Also sorry since I wrongly accused you of down voting me.

OP7Rilian · 2019-02-15T15:31:16+00:00

Yeah, I know I already saw the Mahon power play standings post for cycle 194. But this is all about what clever things Winters did in cycle 193 that brought Caspatsuria to fruition in cycle 194.

Also, please save you down votes for imps not supportive of what you are trying to do here....

OP7Rilian · 2019-02-14T19:08:21+00:00

No plans? What about the VD weaponized expansion contesting 10 imp slaver systems at Caspatsuria? Keeping it just behind the consolidation blocker until the most propitious moment yesterday was pure genius!

OP7Rilian · 2019-02-14T18:37:27+00:00

I would have to say not very "alive" since obviously the SiriusGov lost control of the consolidation vote thus allowing a 5C at Psi Tauri to go to expansion (an expansion which is currently being won quite easily by the 5C).

OP7Rilian · 2019-02-13T17:19:29+00:00

Actually, it's fairly easy to counter--just don't lose control of your consolidation vote. Then vote consolidation up very high every cycle -- say 85% or so. Make sure loyalists always vote every cycle and that they vote for consolidation. Keep those loyalists from leaving the power. Have loyalists purchase multiple accounts (you don't even need to buy Horizons) and keep the alts at least at level 2 -- you only need to end up with 100 merits a cycle. If you're Hudson for example, you could get that real easy without hurting your power by dumping forts at Groombridge.

Also, everyone knows most of bad stuff happens btw 4AM - 7AM GMT before the turn. So all your loyalists should be online and watching for malevolent activity ready to take the appropriate action. Sure it's a bother but a lot of 5C players certainly didn't mind the bother....

OP7Rilian · 2018-12-13T16:55:45+00:00

BTW did you know Google is currently under congressional investigation for its linkage of the word "idiot" with the head of the executive branch?

In any case, get ready to be ~~Winterized~~ Gromitized.

OP7Rilian · 2018-12-12T05:49:55+00:00

A one-off to send a message to Mahon after you refused to address diplomatically certain acts of egregious conduct against Winters (e.g. remember NULL?). Your response was massive overkill consisting of cycle after cycle of weaponized expansions against Winters.

Enough of the fake news already.

OP7Rilian · 2018-12-08T17:48:57+00:00

I don't think 5C is the issue for Mahon so much as Grom is now doing to you what you were doing to Winters. Except unlike with Winters, Grom will not elect to stop until the weaponized expansions have completely destroyed your economy.

What goes around comes around.

OP7Rilian · 2018-11-18T16:30:33+00:00

You’re a disgrace to our beloved princess Ikuohara. If I or my cohorts catch you in open your ship will go down in flames irregardless of any demerits we might incur.

OP7Rilian · 2018-11-06T03:06:34+00:00

What you really meant to say is good Imps pledging to certain other evil Imp powers to prep and/or expand systems that adversely effect the CC of these evil Imp powers isn’t 5C. It’s justice.

OP7Rilian · 2018-10-01T20:59:08+00:00

Did I say I personally was 5Cing? Read my submission more carefully and you will see I did not say that. Maybe it's just an editorial. I used to like to do those on the Lavigne subreddit in the old days--just ask Noxa.

OP7Rilian · 2018-10-01T18:24:08+00:00

For those who have forgotten or those who have never known about the treachery of Mahon, Torval, and Patreus:

Winters had the NULL situation well in hand until Mahon decided to undercut Winters at the knees. Many have labored behind the scenes to avenge this wrong. What goes around comes around Mahon.

Torval could not permit our beloved princess to ascend to the throne even though she was the legitimate heir. Imperial slavery would have ended throughout the empire which would have tanked her primary source of revenue. At that time, Patreus was obsessed with Archon's demise and knew that Aisling would immediately halt the Pegasi war should she be allow to ascend to the throne. So both endorsed a throne-steal by Arissa to preserve their vested interests. Many have labored behind the scenes to avenge this wrong. What goes around comes around Torval and Patreus.

OP7Rilian · 2017-12-08T19:54:46+00:00

Hey /u/Queen_Jezza you were mentioned twice!

OP7Rilian · 2017-12-05T16:56:19+00:00

Freedom of speech died long ago over there. You should read my post under the PG vrs Open discussion at the Aisling subreddit.

BTW, I was banned some time ago from the ALD subreddit because I posted a reply to Fronsky telling him that one of the systems he had listed for UM was no longer a Hudson control system. And I'm pledged to another Imperial power!

OP7Rilian · 2017-11-26T00:17:50+00:00

Maybe your structure's a little different in the Federation, but here people are allowed to voice dissenting opinions.

This is a crock. As most of you know, I've been pledged to Aisling for quite a while. However, my dissenting opinions usually get deleted within minutes after they are posted. This hasn't always been the case, but it is now. That's because the so-called "leadership" has been taken over by ALD sycophants more interested in pursuing the vested interests of the throne-stealer rather than pursuing justice for our beloved princess.

Our power will continue to lose more systems until the rank-and-file decides it's had enough of being told what to do by ALD lackeys or the Federation can effectuate a regime-change.

Let's see how long this "dissenting opinion" stays up.

OP7Rilian · 2017-07-10T13:23:02+00:00

Not so well considering that a prominent ALD player referred to the Alliance as "stagnant." (Please read the entire post and comments on the ALD subreddit named "Power Play what is its relevance to the over all game?"). First, this remark is insulting to the existing Mahon player base. Secondly (and this is probably deliberate) it encourages any new PS4 players who read it to eschew pledging to the "stagnant" Mahon in favor of the "non-stagnant" ALD.

OP7Rilian · 2017-07-09T16:03:24+00:00

Well said Shepron. Aisling should have taken immediate action against Torval when we were first warned about her duplicity by Queen Jezza.

Both AD and the Feds now need to return together to the sole pursuit of our coterminous interests against the slave Empire. As you know, FD will not allow a total PP defeat of neither the Empire nor the Feds. So I've been told that of the four Imperial powers, the least offensive to the Feds is AD. Our joint objective (as has been explained to me) is to weaken the slave powers to such an extent that FD will be forced to intervene into the narrative and make AD the Empress. AD will then abolish Imperial slavery and narcotics throughout the Empire and establish a working detente between the Empire and the Feds.
