Targets you just cannot pass up.

Being from Washington State, and living in Husky territory, I find myself unable to stop myself from hitting a player named Go Cougs. Because much like College football, the Cougs do not belong on the leaderboard.

Normally I would pass up a 19 point fight as I grind my way up the god awful loki tournament, but this had to be done on principal.

    Update: Naturally I denied them red, killed one member with Magneto's purple and then finished them off with Punishers Retribution.
  • As a UW alumni, I heartily agree with your actions.

    I can't pass up anyone with a racist ign. Just can't do it.

    ha, you're not the only one. I've only come across the guy a few times, but there is a guy with pennstater in his name that I must always attack. As a Pitt fan who lives in State College, it is my duty.

  • I barely ever look at the names anymore. Sometimes I'll mindlessly reel off 5 consecutive wins and think, "Man, I hope i didn't just hit any alliance members."
  • Anyone worth more than 30 points.

    Also, any player with an overly boastful name. BestGamer, etc.

    Lol go Huskies! That's why they call me roughDAWGS
  • Great OP in this thread. Having been to a game at Husky Stadium a lifetime ago (and loving every second of it), I condone your actions.
  • Anyone with mixed upper case and lower case names. MyK must die! icon_e_wink.gif

    So true. Its points first, roster second, environ a distant third followed by the speck in the distance that is IGN. I should probably watch that more, as I have hit alliance members a couple times.
  • B@con_M@gic. I can never pass up those easy points.

    I'd like to see the top 100 alliances take up Spiderman as a target.

    If a PvP group is using Spiderman -- Attack them.
    If a PvP group is not using Spiderman -- Skip them.

    I don't mind fighting Spiderman, but I'm tired of seeing him 95% of the time in PVP opponent teams. Sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night now, and I found I've killed Spiderman teams in my sleep 30 times in a row. I get woken up by a Hood or a BWGS team taking me out.

    There's only one Husky Territory and it belongs to UConn. That is all.
  • Haha, I had no idea there were so many people from Seattle on the forums! Go Huskies!!!

    Seeing Spider-man in 95% of my opposing teams would be a refreshing change. 95% of the teams I see have OBW. Aside from lucky cascades/starting boards I have no issues with those teams but I'm so tired of fighting her. Though this also might fall into the 'careful what you wish for' category...

    For me, it's an even split: below 750-800 points, there's an endless field of OBWs awaiting sacrifice. Above that threshold, 80% Spiderman. I much prefer fighting OBW, mainly because a lot of people pair Spidey with Patch, vs. OBW with Thor/Punpun.

    During Loki PvP I saw almost exclusively OBW with Thor/Pun/Ares all the way up to 1100. It got mindlessly repetitive. It's been like that for me for the last 3 PvP events.
