Hubris Alliance Chat

Unknown

Greetings everyone.

I'm sure some people have noticed I'm making some changes to the alliance. When this thing started I actually kicked Xormar for lack of results. I'm sure every knows he cane back in and was our best producer. That said I think he was member 10. Somewhere between member 10 and 20 I got soft. We let people stay on goodwill, myself included, for too long. We made friends but when this started it was for making covers. I made a promise to all of you that if you are active in events and chat I will get you covers.

I've failed you. Numerous times. I do not plan to do that again. I am replacing low number producers who don't communicate with higher producing recruits. Most of them are the PvE temps we got for storm to fill the void. However some you may have known. I don't feel anyone I've dropped has been with alliance mentality of top 100 and communicating. If you feel otherwise let me know and we can talk. That said as of the time of this writing we are 19/20 top 80 in PvP and one recruit away from a fury. I hope I haven't upset anyone but I feel this is just what I promised when we started. No one who posts to this forum was trimmed.

Again I will depart for a higher scoring player if need be come end of season. I see myself almost as a pace car. I've been down and out for 3 weeks due to my computer and internet. Everyone should be able to do as well as me.


We are called hubris. Let's act like it.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
You never kicked me. My kid managed to grab my phone and do all kinds of crazy stuff.
Such as spending hp, lvling the wrong skills and leaving the alliance.

If you dont belive me, look on the forums for our old thread. I belive its there.
And before my kid made me leave, i was nr 6.

I just wanted to say that I was sad and a little surprised to see some people get kicked, Jickson and cmat64 in particular. I know cmat was on the ropes for a bit with health issues, but I thought he was improving. I understand Jickson's boot though because I think he said he was going to on a work trip soon.

Be that as it may, I think I finally figured out that my team is indeed capable of taking down some 141 teams, especially weaker ones like IM40 or GSBW. Can they get me back on retaliation? Sure, but in the season, I am currently far enough below them that I can't see why they would want to retaliate.

I'm aiming for 600 in Cage Match and 7500 season minimum. I think it's important that we all have faith in our rosters and that in tough PVP's like Cage Match, that we get points early, because with someone like Patch, even in a Lv 135 buffed 5G/0R/4Y Patch like mine can do serious damage. TBTI is not as much of a factor when you're on defense because it costs so much AP and even when I've been a little sloppy and allowed the CPU to hit me with it, it doesn't always mean the end of my team.

Welcome to all the new members and I do hope that most (or at least some) of you will post to the forum.

Xormor,

Perhaps i remember wrong. It was a long time ago. I know you spent a lot of time and money buying slots in particular for this alliance. But my point remains the same. Im sure you remember our journey to 20 players and then to the top 100. We didnt do it with the same faces. We shifted people around until we got where we needed to be. Thats what i did last night. I wish we would have done it before losing you and Boom. I meant no offense by my comment, it was an honest mistake. I have no hard feelings for you leaving, in your position with how hard you worked i cant see how anyone would. It was not meant as slander.


Alt,

If you really get down to it there wasnt a lot of people we could even look at. We lost 3 people in the wake of missing the Patch cover. We were down to 17. about 6 of those are our "core" members that have really produced and stuck around thick and thin. So down to 11. I would say 5 of those are the new guys who are welcome, and produce and communicate. Look at Yu-Gi-Oh Gamer. Im talking people like him. That puts us down to about 6 people we can even realistically look at. I made some decisions that needed to be made. I liked both Cmat and Jickson. But we need to stop having guys hang around just because they are nice. Its not fair to the people who work their **** off then miss a cover by a few slots. We are here for covers, and we all need to be on board with that.

For specifics:

Cmat has been on notice multiple times throughout both seasons. I know he has had issues with his family. And i feel bad for that. But we cant have 19 members continually miss covers because one is having issues.


Jickson was a great guy and a great app. Our rules have been outlined. Be active. If not in your numbers on the forums and chat. I saw a lack of both.

The next person i will kick is myself if we cant hold numbers. If any of the people who left, or were kicked get their numbers up i hope they app again in the future. It was not an easy decision.

Im at work, but when i left after the changes i made we are top 50 in the current PvP (With MRs Piggles not even in yet, so hoipefully to rise) and in the 80 slots for season 2. We should get a fury s i promised you all we would get. Im shielded at just over 500 points, and hoping to get to 700 before the end of the event. However this isnt over. We need to continue to push through the end here as a team. I cant take the torch from Xormar and Boom by myself, but together we can. If anyone is really upset that i got us back where we should be just let me know either on the forums or in a PM and we can hash it out.


Xorm im sorry it took you and Boom leaving to whip us into shape. That said it looks like Hubris is back.

Unknown

Also it looks like someone let a guy named Jesper in. Im not sure who he is or where is app was. Ive got a guy with 9k season points looking for a home, who says he is active on forums and score aroun 800 per PvP event. his name is davchevski.

Can someone please drop Jesper as i never saw an app from him and if any of the commanders see Davchevski please let him in.

Thanks guys.

Agree on fairness to the people who are making more of an effort or have more time. It is why I have been pushing for more points to come from the bottom. Some people are always going to push for high scores for individual rewards but it isn't right if too many ride on those coattails to the point where we were going to miss fury. Wish we could get Xorm and Boom back now.

Unknown

If either of those guys ever want to get back in we will get them back in. they were the reason the alliance did as well as it did for so long.

So on the topic of the Davecheveski guy i got a PM from someone in his old guild:


Hello Rockmaw of the Hubris alliance,

I come here with a warning,

I am currently in the alliance Immortal Rage, I was going through the forums and noticed you guys were going to recruit the player Davechevski.

We recruited him during the last PvE and he promised all these good things to the alliance, more than anything he wanted to be a commander in our alliance. He also made claims that he knew a glitch in PvP that could get him up to 1100-1300 without the need of a shield that he said he learnt while over at X-Men. His lack of X-Force and Invisible Women covers would say otherwise.

Luckily our leader didn't make him a commander and it would be today that he made false claims that our leader asked him to leave the alliance. Then he vanished without a trace, gone from the alliance and gone from our Facebook group (in which he blocked all the members he had befriended, this making communication impossible with him).

All I'm saying is be very careful with him and whatever you do, don't make him a commander for the sake of your alliance, we believe he may have other ideas for your alliance if you give him control.



Discuss.

I wanted to know what, if anything, anyone planned to do about the commander who's missed at least two PvP point goals by now; it seems like Rock defended him last time despite him never communicating what was going on before or after, and I want to know what's up with him now.

Unknown

I don't think we should think about adding in that dave character. I'm pretty sure it's a moot point right now, but just in case it isn't, there's my two cents.

I was wondering the same thing. I just messaged about it in chat.

I would like to hear from everyone about this. He should be held to the same standard as everyone else. I don't like to be harsh, but perhaps it's time that he stepped down as commander.

Opinions? Thoughts?

Unknown

I think by now you guys know my frustration with repeat offenders to the 400 minimum. It has been at least twice in a row now and much more than that since setting that minimum. Remember that people were kicked for not having a top100 mentality not long ago.

Unknown

Yeah i did defend him. I will likely continue to do so.

He started this alliance with me. He is my brother. He is in the armed services and i dont get to communicate with him very much. I see him maybe once a year. We started the alliance as a 5 man with me and him so we could have a form of communication / shared interest. On some tinykitty level at least playing a similiar game is someting. He has been a commander as he worked with us from the beginning and poured time and money into this thing getting it off the ground. I will talk to him about his PvP numbers when i get a chance to. I know he doesnt communicate much i will touch base with that as well. Recently you are all correct he has fallen off, but i know he has hung around in the top in the past.

I do want to point out in Thick as Thieves he was #1 in the alliance. I know we arent PvE focused, but that was for a cover everyone wanted, and once Xorm and Boom left there was a scramble in the last hours to even get it. My point is at least he is active.

Ill take myself out of the equation as i obviously am going to be biased in this situation. You guys are right and the same standards should be held to everyone. Whatever you guys decide ill abide by.

elusive

I was actually #1 in the alliance in TaT, and I was the only one who got all 3 Storm covers from it. Not saying that makes a difference in what you're saying, just that I gotta defend my pride.

Unknown

Just get him to put up his 400 for the final event. We have less than 37 hours to the end of the season and should get fury. After that everyone can decide what they want out of this game. I will settle for less drama.

Unknown

Hey guys, just wanted to drop a quick line.

I must say, I was a bit disappointed--but definitely not surprised--to see myself dropped sometime in the waning days of Season 2. Points were getting tight, and I was unable to realistically play from about Wednesday on.

Also, to be perfectly honest, my numbers had been off for about a week or so leading up to that time. Trip planning, real life intrusions, wonky PvE point changes, whatever.. the point is that I wasn't performing, not even to a level with which I was particularly happy, much less to the level that I know the alliance needed.

Anyway, I'm trying to get my head back in the game. If Rock (or anyone else) can give me a PvE/PvP point goal or target, I'd like to be given another shot sometime in the future.. hopefully sooner than later!

Cheers!

P.S. Thanks for the props, altlover

I was going to do a drawn out post, but I'm a little tired and have a lot going on in my personal life right now, so I'll make a shorter post.

First off, congrats to everyone. We made it to top 100 for Season 2. It was tough and there were lots of changes to the alliance, but I'm glad we were able to hit that goal and get our Fury cover.

Second, are we okay with just being a top 100 alliance for season 3? Also, what are we going to do to ensure that we are in cover range during individual PVP's? Are we keeping the same minimum score or might it be easier to have a minimum season score?

Everyone, I would love to know your answers to these questions.

Thanks for reading this and thanks for all the hard work you've put in to keep us a top 100 alliance.

Unknown

Congrats to everyone on your Nick Fury covers.

Personally, I am content to be a top 100 with a set minimum event and season score but only if there are no passengers. I feel that we either need to be serious about everyone, commander or not, putting up at least good (even if not great) number or may as well not have a minimum at all. Otherwise, high scorers who care will eventually look for an alliance that is more serious. People who don't care may as well find a friendly alliance where no one has to put up a minimum. Honestly, I am considering the latter anyway since the idea of being able to take it easier is attractive and the 3* pvp grind is decidedly unfun. Experimenting with my 5-blue CMags has rejuvenated it a little bit but we know his nerf is up next. For now, I promise that while I am here and everyone else is doing their best, I will try to reciprocate.

Also, I do think we need a set minimum score or we are not consistently getting covers including Nick Fury. If we really want Nick, it is probably also necessary to push higher than the minimum when we are out of cover range. Falling out of cover range for an individual event means losing ground on the season.

Really glad you guys made it. Gj peeps.

As for me, atm im throwing in the towel. This game cannot make me play anymore. If i feel like playing, i will but i wont be forced anymore.

Not sure if my current alliance will keep me or if they will drop me. If they do im considering going rogue. Unallianced.

Hope you guys stick around and keep the love for the game. Dont burn out. And i will most likely keep lurking the forums, especislly this thread cause it still feels like home

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to say thanks for allowing me in. Definitely trying to do my share in terms of finishing in scoring position for various game elements. I played solo for a long time and was always able to do well, but felt like I was falling behind in cover accumulation. I missed the Storm Mohawk cover the last time it was issued, so definitely excited about the prospect of getting one.

I feel like I have a decent roster, and pretty good gameplay strategy. Probably not using tricks as much as I should, so anything you can share is totally helpful. I haven't been through the entire forum yet, so if there are kernels of wisdom there I'll find them.

I'll do whatever I can to get us where we want to be. Honestly this is the first Alliance I've been a part of that actually seems to take things seriously. That's refreshing. It also makes it more satisfying when we earn covers together. I'm happy as long as we're getting covers. ISO and HP are less important to me. I'll try to stay active in the forums, but for those of you who are super experienced, please try to bear with me as I'm not fully versed in all the MPQ inner workings, secrets and whatnot. Looking forward to doing great things.

It never ends for me.

So i just logged in to try to get some points, and it shows i have no save data. I basically have dropped teh Al + F4 on it, but after a few re-logs its showing the same original entry level tutorial screen. I dont want to go forward and have it save over something, can someone look in my roster and tell me if its wiped?
