Re: Why didnt the Bors fight the Jaxs?

Why Jax didn't go to boraxus? Because bors are so predictable and we'd rather take worse, but more fun option because going to Boraxus leads to
Step 1:Bors comeback and jax have to jump out.
Step 2a: Bors go to ajaxus, jax run back to ajaxus, bors don't put a fight and leave ajaxus and go for pk
Step 2b: Bors go to PK, jax go to boraxus
Step 3: Goto step 1.

Been going on all beta, and we're bored of it. Now again, the turn Jax got back to ajaxus bors are leaving...

As for Krills blaming jax for leaving boraxus when a possible 3v1 fight was supposed to happen there... From our point of view Krills were bored and demoralized, hardly making any moves, it took you 5 turns to mobilize in the Roids. And at the point of Bor incoming none of you were seen in boraxus (perhaps you had cloakers, but how should we know you'll fight), tibs had a couple of lvl 3s, and we were outnumbered 2to1 in enemy HW, we would have loved to get to finally get to fight bors in ship to ship combat, but not on these terms.

We had our cloakers there. What is the point of having a cloaker squad if they run around uncloaked showing our hand?

I'm sorry us krils assumed that since we told you we wanted to fight the bors in boraxus that we also assumed you would realize we had our cloakers there. Didn't think it was that hard of a conclusion to reach but it doesn't matter now. Its old news and severely off topic for this thread which is dedicated to the bors continued point whoring over ending the game.

Shall we step back over to the topic and stop derailing the thread please?

And now you ask help from the tibs to attack us.. sad sad story... I bet you promised the tibs to finish 2nd place in return for their favor.

Why isn't there self-destruct button anymore? That was a nice option to "fight" boring legions

Wow, so much whining and "boring" talk from the 2 legions that pretty much only fed off the tibs or tried to fight only in their HW all beta.

The Krils did put up 2 good fights, the jax not so much. Including running out of Boraxus in that 3v1 trinap that completely failed because of jax all leaving. At that point, there was serious concern since the 3 legions had a lot more 5's and 4's in Boraxus at that point until jax all jumped out.

Bomber nerf will hopefully move the overall legion strategy away from just hit-and-run tactics on HWs. Honestly, the Bors could of just hit empty HWs all game long and leveled faster than anyone due to their large number of bombers and the leveling system. They entertained a few ship-to-ship battles and probably wouldn't of run away with the game if the Jax/Krils were more active. Activity wins rounds, Bors were the most active.

Jax should of sit back and feasted on the leftovers from that 81103 battle than jumping in early =p

Didn't realize the correction would be that quick, thanks ecvej! I look forward to not seeing 9 of the top 10 combat ships being bombers next beta :D

In lack of another thread so far..

I think the Bors and especially their LC did a quite decent job. Maybe a bit too cautious at times (especially when they had the opportunity to destroy Ajaxus about 30 ticks ago and didn't do so) but there's nothing wrong with playing it safe.

Tibs were screwed after a major drop in activity which led to having lost our main ships and most active pilots a couple of times. In the first 60 ticks or so I thought we would actually be going for the win... Well, next time.

As mentioned before, the 'paper tri-nap' was a major disaster. I think the Jax leadership was really awful, not only in choices but also manners. Krils were fun but annoying to us tibs in the beginning :)

Well done Bors.

Oh, and thanks for all the love and hate. At least you care, one way or another ;)

Jyphi, as I recall the bors refused to fight in anyone else's homeworld as well until the very end when you started killing them. Careful about scorning other legions for doing what you did, it doesn't make you look better at all :)
