I've still had no response from Siimson, so assuming he is now inactive I have removed him from the alliance. This means there is now an open slot available. After 24 hours the request from the highest queued player will be accepted. First in line is Munkeeboi69 so he will be accepted if his request comes in in the next 24 hours. If not, highest queuer will be accepted. Good luck!

I was wondering if it would be fair to use this newly open slot to begin a succession of players who wish to buy their own slots.

Might be just the opportunity we need to start the expansion. Or is that already the plan?

I am still satisfied with waiting to see what changes arise as the developers iron things out. I would also be willing to buy the next slot if that is necessary.

Even though I view hp almost as valuable as cash, I don't mind supporting the team.

I want to go that route myself, but until the devs fix the commander issue I can't risk it. There are various posts on the forum from people whose alliances have been wrecked by rogue commanders.

So would it be to much to ask for resumes, credit references and a mandate which requires that applicants be bondable?

Lol

First of all I agree with you quadiak, it is kind of ridiculous but until the devs find a better way of handling alliances there's not much I can do, which is unfortunate as many players who were interested in the alliance have since moved on...

Secondly I would like to welcome our newest member RemoDestroyer into the fold. There may still only be 5 of us for now, but at least we should now be firing on all cylinders for the next event!

quadiak

Likely the best we can hope for is a higher level of command that could keep the one who starts the original alliance at the top with power to remove all others, even ones who have been promoted. Seems fair to me since someone had to pay to start each alliance.

Welcome to the group remodestroyer and best of luck to us all.

Welcome RemoDestroyer!

The next alliance event looks to be PvE. Get your grinding boots on.

Unknown

You're quite right, with a top250 alliance finish for the 3* cover. The only strategy I can suggest here is to jump in to brackets early, as points are just as important as rank here and of course a later bracket will mean less points for the alliance.

Also, might look into getting a decent alliance sig picture like other alliances have, but no ideas what look to go for. Any Marvel related ideas or anything really is welcome, I have no experience of this and no real experience of doing this kind of graphical work... in fact, any of you guys with any experience with it?

RemoDestroyer

Hi everyone. Thanks for adding me Fluffyudders. I'll do what I can to contribute, top 5 in my brackets right now

A little surprised to see a team of 5 qualifying for a cover right now. Hopefully it lasts. Looks like the sub events will be tougher to place. Not overly thrilled with the Steve Rogers cover yet and don't want anymore OBW covers but I can use the iso. I think I'd rather have the heroics from the sub events.

Unknown

Yeah well done guys we're off to a great start, almost top 100 overall. Just goes to show quality over quantity, and grit over money! Just imagine how many paid alliances we're showing up right now, hehehe

I just finished my last battle of round one of the simulator and checked our status. We are sitting at 91st with a total of 95xxx points. Awesome is all I can say. Great job guys keep the hard work going.

Personally I just broke 20000 and will continue to compete.

I really wish they would fix the darn game so it would quit leaving rewards on the table. I just can't logically understand as to why if only 2 of 4 rewards(for example) have been awarded, they often refuse to award the next prizes, and instead default to 20 iso8. At least we now have the alliance to compete for, it sort of makes up for that feeling of getting screwed.

Wil88

Ground out 20K points today. We're still sitting top 100.
Might be a tough weekend for me to grind - away with the family.

Keep it up F2Ps! And welcome to the team RemoDestroyer!

quadiak

Just doing a little math between matches. I have determined it would cost $99 to buy enough HP to create a 20 slot alliance if one didnt have the 18000 HP saved up. Thats pretty much insane.

Wil88

How did the first round of the Simulator go for everyone? We are sitting 166 position at the end of round 1 - 258565 points. That's pretty awesome for an alliance of 5.
Personally, I ground out 53000+ points, so based on the math we are all in the same vicinity. Keep it up!

Gotta say I'm loving the buffed Ares - I was hoarding ISO for when I got more 3* covers, but caved and level him up to 85 for this event.

I like the signature line Quadiak - should we all do something similar?

Great job Wil88. I to am sitting at 53000 and change. I squeaked in a top 5 in my bracket of the hard mode(and earned another Ares Green with one token). haven't received results from the easy mode yet.

I leveled up my Ares long ago right after OBW and Marvel now Mags, he is awesome. I have now used the green cover to go from 3/5/5 to 4/4/5, since I also leveled my Wolverine during this round I am trying to use Wolvies red power as much as possible. Now that Ares green is up from 242/AP to 301/AP the next round should be fun.

Thanks for the kind words about the signature. I didn't spend much time with it, but I like the wording and if everyone else does maybe we could produce something a bit flashier? Fluffyrudders is correct though, we should have something.

The bad news for me is I spent so much time on the simulator I completely overlooked the no holds barred event. Normally I would at least go up to the 300 level achievement award, even in an event I don't care about. Grrr

Wil88

Just did a little math - if we had 20 members with the same average score as our current alliance - we would be top 5. Hopefully the devs will make an adjustment that allows you to add to your alliance without making everyone a commander - we'd be right in the mix!

I ended up using the No Holds Barred for healing, so didn't even get the 300 level progression reward - oops. I got a green wolvie cover for it. Opened up my Cover for the Simulator - green wolvie again. Great - he's maxxed. Still waiting on my other bracket - I was 2nd in that one with a minute to go, so am hoping I held on to my position.

Edit - I did pull off the 2nd place - my reward: 2 Hawkeyes and a Bullseye. I haven't pulled a 3* from any PvE tokens since Hulk (and then it was the Green Hulk, which is the only 3* I had 5 covers of). Unlucky.

quadiak

Good job Wil.

I got top 50 on easy mode, but my focus was on Hard mode, it just seems to have less traffic. lol

I am also getting a little concerned with the Alliance part, the way this is set up we are now losing out on any type of reward because the heats only award top 100, and there is now way a team of 5 is going to pull that off. Even though missing out on 1500 iso-8 is no biggie, it just feels like we are out of competition.

I ended up with just over 52000. Unfortunately, the sub-bracket end times are not good for those living in Europe so I probably wasn't getting max points for my last round of play. I went to bed top 5 in each sub-bracket and woke up to a top 10 and top 50 finish. I did manage top 10 in No Holds Barred though, so got me some Daredevil covers. Not sure if he is worth levelling up.

We seem to be holding our own against bigger alliances but for sure if we want to move up, we'll have to eventually expand. Let's hope the devs help us out in that regard. Creating a new 'Supreme Commander' title for the founder of the alliance might be our best chance.

Unknown

hmm... I just thought of the undesirable scenario where a mean 'Supreme Commander' could invite people into an alliance, have them expand it and then kick them out. So I guess there is no easy solution.

Maybe an alliance fund is a better idea, where everyone can contribute to expanding the alliance. Or instituting some sort of voting system where alliance members have to vote on someone getting kicked out.

quadiak

I couldn't sleep last night and played the simulator for about six hours straight.

I sure wish my ranks looked like this at the end of the event rather than the beginning, lol.

RemoDestroyer

I was 2nd and 1st with about 45 minutes to gopportunity when something came up. When I went back just after midnight I fell to top 50 and top 10. I ended up getting two green Wolverine covers. I can't remember my point total, I know it was over 50k because I got the daredevil cover.

I'm on the US east coast and work overnight so I guess I was lucky to finish where I did. This round should work out better.

I've been doing 2-3 runs a day. Playing enough to get 1st then taking a break. I haven't fallen out of the top 50 yet.

And yes Ares is a beast and hard mode is less of a grind.
