I had an amazing time this Elimination, I want to share what i've learned and experienced throughout my first true Elimination.

Last year I was a part of the legendary Mountain Men, but I had no voice and did what leaders said. We ended 5th after the tranny incident. This year I helped lead and I loved it.

My Co-Leaders



I loved working with Accurate. He is one of the best diplomats and political leaders in Torn. He helped us manage to stay pacifist the entire game and we easily cruised the middle and the top because of his efforts.

Thief was meh to work with, he mostly stayed quiet. I respect you as a player Thief, but I don't respect your decision to turn on Cupcakes almost costing us our 2nd place finish.

Foxxeh was the lover or good cop if you will of the leaders. Foxxeh just spread peace and tried to stop arguments, which us being the special snowflakes we are argues a decent amount.

Klawz was a great sub-leader and diffused our messages and ideas amazingly.

Honorable mentions to animelive, Ashleyy_, and ReginaMills108 for being very active/spiritual leaders [:sick:]

My Team

Y'all have been amazing. From being at 0 and boosting up last second to staying on the top for several days, you guys have been great and without you we wouldn't be where we are at the moment.

My Alliance

From the start we made a final 3 deal with Nova and The_Boss, too bad Nasty got raped, we still worked closely with Cupcake and as you can see, we have made it to the final 2.

We soon made a final 4 deal consisting of Snowflakes, Cupcakes, Villains, and Dongs. I also talked to Dilandu and Jimmy a lot but Romantics were a wild card and we just used them as a pawn like every other team :D

My favorite word: NAP

I guess nobody could agree what this term meant, did it mean don't hit each other? did it mean don't hit each others allies? Whatever it meant it was the reason we made it this far. We probably had a NAP with every single team at one point in this game (Except you Spartans who gunned for us day 1, **** you). We had very few people hitting us and glided on the top for several days. We easily maneuvered Undead and Necromancers off of us and when they kept telling us to hit Dongs, or to hit Villains we just kept telling them, "This is just a NAP, not an alliance" but they were to incompetent to understand ;)

My Enemies

Without enemies what would this game be? Proxima, you were fun to talk with and I loved lying to your face when it came time, thanks for not hitting us and thinking we had some sort of alliance, when we just had a NAP.

PinkiePie, oh Pinkie, you're so sweet and I didn't like lying to you or betraying you about our NAP.  No offense Pinkie, but Elimination is not your strong point. You took Emotions > Strategy which made you 4th out right after the poor Necromancers.

Spartans, you gunned for us day 1 and died first, oops, try again next year.

Necro, Undead, and CK, you were always the "Next Target" for our alliance, nothing else.

Read this if Noting Else

Sure I could do more sappy shit, but the best part of Elimination was the memes, post you're favorites please :D

Tl;Dr

Thanks everyone letting me lead and i'm ready for next year

 Clearly we had a better chance... we finished with 6 tickets. We had no chance of beating either why we needed to let them drag each other down to 0 and take each tohers lives...
Thief [206758]

Ya know maybe I shouldnt have went against what other leaders wanted to do. It seems like everyone wanted the final showdown with cupcakes so I probably should have just went along it would of caused less drama...

But with that said everyone got the 2nd place finish they wanted, everyone got their showdown with cupcakes, and as expected we got raped. It was obvious the direction that fight would go, I was just trying to give us a realistic shot at that first place.

Regardless I enjoyed the comp, working with accurate/spades is always a pleasure..

ok, you did ask for people to post their favorite memes...

as for experiences.... I had an absolute blast!!!

met a lot of new people, learned quite a bit... and showed that determination and drive can mean just as much as Age when it comes to Elimination. Finished at 830 kills, Top 5% ... all at 149 Days old.

I had fun meeting people on Discord. Tech support chat was amazing and literally memes.

Didn't really get to actually do anything as far as Elim goes, honestly, though.

I have to say the one thing I hate about Elimination is having to rely on other people for the chance at having merits, I'm used to just working on things myself, even farmed all the way to 325+ awards, but this competition is about teamwork, and if your team ends up getting the short end of the stick, there go the merit chances, and your effort doesn't actually change the outcome. :/

Yay 5 tokens though. I did decently enough, though I wish we'd have had more time to keep going. And as much as I admit the above, I did enjoy meeting people and getting to have a team to interact with.

I'll definitely miss the team/social aspect of the competition now that it's over, although chat has been pretty much dead ever since we lost lol.

I don’t think we had much of a chance for first on either? We were snowflakes, elimination was hell.

i thought it was a tactical move, taking out dongs and “settling” for second? If we went after cupcakes first, i’m pretty sure both teams would have zeroed us. Dongs alone brought us down hard. 
DeKleineKobini [2114440] Committee Committee

The problem is that Thief decided to go against Team Cupcakes while Dongs was still alive and hitting us hard.

That made us lose many tickets. It made us place second with no chance on first. However, since CC saw how hard Dongs could hit us and how few resistance we were giving they decided to take us to top 2 since, even with our 25-10 lives lead, would almost guarantee them a win.

Its like we got to the final 3 of survivor through small but great plays at exactly the right times,perfect..then we sat down at the end and the other 2 started arguing amongst themselves slagging each other off..and instead of watching and  enjoying it we decided slap both on the legs and laugh at them and then this happened.

I thought we really out performed ourselves and nearly all the others though,just took a crazy turn at the end.

IMO.

My experience was that it became clear early that LEAVING / MUGGING and not HOSPING was the way to go.  I did a terrible job of selling this belief to our leadership, so we never went that route in a strong way.  I think DONGS also missed on this, or they would have had a real shot at winning.  It would have been close with the Cupcakes.

I think in the end, the right team won.  The Cupcakes played it best with alliances and their LEAVING / MUGGING strategy.

I bow down to our new Cupcake overlords.

 

I really enjoyed the Villains.  Great team with great people and good leadership.  I wish we could have employed our PysOps strategies, but the server lag and 10 second delay on each PM sent made it impossible to get the wrong directions to enough semi-active opponents to screw up their hitting.
