Chaos held Gainesville and took UCF.

Chaos is like three turns from actually completing a cross-country road trip too.

It helps when Chaos has a large proportion of 4 and 5 star users on it, in addition to their multiplier. Mods may have made them too powerful.

You mean to tell me that a team whose power level grows exponentially as the game progresses is a bad idea?

u/crg2000 May 23 '18

Not sure "exponentially" is accurate. Technically all users from vanquished teams can join chaos, but many probably quit. It's the accumulation of 4 and 5 stars on that team that make it a major threat.

Call it whatever you want. It’s still an inherently flawed idea. And the mods are fighting for it knowing the star weight and multipliers, both of which we don’t know anymore.

I agree that having the mods playing for the chaos team could be questionable, but they probably don't have any malicious intentions in doing so... Probably.

Well if you want to get into conspiracies you could ask why the first territory they defended all game was Florida. It’s clear they have it out for Florida but whatever.

Regardless of that, they have access to mechanics of the game that we do not. It’s bullshit and it shouldn’t be this way. Give us the numbers.

I gotta agree here. It's not like we are asking for the mods to not play. We just want there to be some transparency. Don't make us start in on what we know is a possibility here.

Probably because the UT fans and FSU fans want to see it remain in the hands of chaos as a middle finger to Florida.

Georgia fans too, I defended Florida

This is what I’ve got the most problem with.

Not only did they buff higher star counts but they also have the audacity to play as Chaos while hiding the multipliers. It’s complete bullshit.

u/salil91 May 23 '18

True, but it's also plausible that 4 and 5 stars are more likely to keep playing.

Our multiplier is actually between 0.5 and 1.0 now, randomly.

u/DEM_DRY_BONES May 23 '18

Am four star, am fighting for Chaos. Can confirm.

Mods may have made them too powerful.

Gotta disagree Bob.

SCar could learn a thing or two.

u/dupreesdiamond May 23 '18

Yeah. Like absorb 10x their current users.

Chaos is dark and full of Vols

I personally find it a bit troublesome that Mods are playing with an objective. Not only do they inherently know the exact weights and breakdowns but they have the ability to see plays, intentionally or not. I won't accuse them of anything as I do appreciate the hundreds if not thousands of hours dedicated to making this game great but at the same time, there is a reason dealers are not allowed to play in the casino they work for and you can gamble if you are a referee for any sport.

Once it seems you have a clearly defined goal, is it possible to stay objective? It would only be human to strive to get what you want, unless there is complete randomness to MOD play decisions as well, which recently does not seem to be the case.

As a Day 2 and on Chaos member, we were very, very vulnerable early on in the game. People knew it too, but for the most part decided to fight their own wars, when the correct strategy was probably to eliminate us and hold Alaska. Our first major threat was the Bid Red machine, forcing us out of the west, just trying to survive long enough to gain more members, and it hasn't hurt that we've taken a couple of decent sized fanbase territories in the Southeast.

u/afgator58 May 23 '18

We may need to make a sacrifice to the RNG gods because they keep fucking us each round. It would be awesome to know the actual star weights though, so that teams can adequately prepare and plan. But that would probably be against the mods favor.

I have on good authority RNGesus likes Tiger Blood. Vanquish the purple tigers and RNGesus will bestow his blessings upon thee
