You know damn well what I am complaining about Burn.

(not yelling at you, just wanted my day to go smoothly)

Then tell it to the News Admin.

If there are any rogue Decepticon players reading this who aren't already in our alliance, listen up!
The Seibertron Decepticon alliance is recruiting good players! If you are able to score at least 3000 points per weekend event and have HQ 11 or higher with the ability to participate in daily wars (when there's no events), please join Seibertron in the game! If you are HQ 10 or under, you are invited to join our feeder alliance, Seibertron II. Good candidates in II can move up to main when they are ready. We are currently fighting between gold and silver leagues, trying to get steady in gold and maybe even beyond! You can help us. If you meet our basic requirements and don't smell, then apply today!

[Black Bumblebee]

I might be interested, King. I've got a level 13 base, 3159 battle points, and 8 3 star Decepticons. I'm number 2 in my alliance, United Predacons, and looking to move to an alliance that is able to win more often in wars / events so I can get sparks & better rank goodies from events. Hit me up in game, I go by Pepsimus there as well.

Vortex just said "No, this is not a costume!"
Not sure if reference to being an Alpha Bravo redeco

[ctrlFrequency]

*giggle*

[Kurona]

Is this a new one they added? I haven't seen it before today and outside of specific characters like Vortex and Bludgeon I don't really get it.




I love it.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Fun fact concerning you seeing Vortex talk about costumes Kurona: I am looking for another Alpha Bravo (he is so expensive right now) cause I have 2 red Decepticon symbols from that Botcon Magnaboss sticker sheet I got, and I could use those to turn Alpha Bravo into Shattered Glass Vortex. I really want to do it, just gotta find one.

[Kurona]

Vortex: "I can see Bludgeon's already found his Halloween costume..."

HA!

All my Base Defence defeats in the past week have been from teams of 4- and 3-star bots.
There's at least a single 4-star on every team, and I counted a total of two teams with 2-stars - in both cases there was only a single 2-star on their team, and in one of them it was Optimus so it might as well have been a 3-star.
My latest defeat looked like this.



I don't know whether to feel demoralised that this is what attacks me, or to feel motivated that apparently this is all that defeats me.
... I'll go with Option C: "There are 4-star Strafes out there that is goddamn terrifying"

I love it.

They added a number of Halloween themed dialogs. Replaced really, I'm sure next Tuesday they will be back to normal.

I'm really liking them. They're so cute.

Also, I caved and finally bought 2,300 Cyber Coins so I now have that 5th Build Bot. Also bought one of those Soundwave crystals... got a duplicate 2-star Long Haul. Not a very happy Kuro.

Sweet mercy, how in the WORLD does anyone have a team stacked like that without spending a TON of money?!

You can't. That person spent a ton of money (and got a tons of dupe 3 stars)

[Burn]

I've been attacked by someone with all seven over 1000, the top one was just over 1800.

We call those such people "Always Hostile"

Who is 1009 and 765? I don't recognize either of those heads

Sideswipe and Rust Dust.

Huh. Now I see Rust Dust, but that is hardly Sideswipe. It looks off.

Wish I had a 1000* Sideswipe really... he is one of my favorites

It truly is. I saw a video of one single-handedly taking down a base once.

I'm gonna level with you, you probably should have waited around for the dedicated Build Bot Bundle. it's $10 for a build bot and 1000 coins. What's done is done, now, and you're maxed now, but for potential future reference/the benefit of others....

spending a TON of money

I believe you answered your question.

D-Max (or anybody else), if you're ever curious about a character's identity and other stats you can check the wiki. I also have a handy spreadsheet listing all the characters at all star levels that anyone can (and is encouraged) to use to chart their own acquisitions. I even keep other data on my own tab, and you can do likewise. I just ask that you make a new tab for yourself. I keep it updated with new characters.

Incidentally, if anybody knows a way to share the data across tabs automatically (so that changes on the master are reflected on the others) that would be appreciated. It would make the addition of new characters much easier. I tried one method but neither absolute nor relative references were amenable to changes in the grid.

I'm adding in my characters right now for the spreadsheet.

Dizzy just passed the 7k mark for bps!

Galaxy is working his way to 6k, and I am plugging away at just over 5200. Kurth, Remeo, and Mooch are all up in the top 20.

Good work guys!

As I understand it, only Kurona has made the 3k requirement in Seibertron Decepticon Main so far. D-Max has technically, between his points in II and his points in main. Good job you two!

II has a number of people surpassed their required bps. Way to go!

The rest...


Bludgeon is not smiling.

I've already asked Kuuga to kick down to II anyone under 1600 points.

Tyrannacon and Pepsimus are just about there.

I thought they might be. Pre-emptive good job! Since i'm sure you'll do it

[Automaster]

As JakePrime, I opened the TF:EW app just now early Sunday morning to get to work on upping my score and found out that I was kicked out. Sure I probably wouldn't have been able to reach the minimum score, what is it 3500 now? But I would have done my best. Things to keep in mind for future players, when events are also on a holiday weekend such as Halloween, it is hard to play to that minimum. Especially when you have children because we are spending time with them and not with our faces buried in a tiny screen. Then there is the fact that I just got a new device after having been without one for nearly two weeks. Lots of factors added up to me not making the minimum score, but I've been an active player in this Alliance since the beginning until recent misfortune. I will not be joining Seibertron II. It's been fun while it lasted but I'll look elsewhere now.

[ctrlFrequency]

Hey, Jake...

While I certainly can appreciate what you're saying as I have kids, and I also work on weekends (Friday and Saturday nights), one very essential thing that we have always said was to PLEASE keep us informed of any possibilities that you may not be able to participate.

This has been one of our rules since I took over as officer, in fact I believe it was even when "He Who Shall Not Be Named" was officer, I remember the fuss..

We are not able to know what you have going on in your life until you let us know.

That having been said....

The rules for minimum bps were set and discussed in Line as well as in game chat many, many times. You have Line.
3500 is not unreasonable. I had to get 8000 this weekend, count yourself lucky.

I believe Kuuga also put it in the MOTD Friday.

Yes you had phone issues.... 3 weeks ago, and you told us in in game chat that was resolved, so that has no bearing on the current situation. Please don't use that as an excuse to make me look bad.

Halloween comes every year on October 31st, so you knew you would be busy, you could have sent me a quick PM (the forums work on desktops as well as phones and tablets) to let me know that you had things planned.

Honestly, I'm sorry you are taking this so harshly. We offered you a place in Seibertron's other alliance, we didn't "Kick" you so much as asked you to go to the place where being more casual was better. You had 773 points when they last got me screens on the alliance, and I had already given the order kick to II those below 1600. But you had said nothing to us about not being able to make the minimum.

II is not a prison sentence, but we have said over, over, over, over, over, and over again that we must have full participation in events and wars or notice that you can not participate. Maybe finding an alliance with a more casual style would suit you play better. Seibertron can not stay in the 600's in alliance rankings anymore, so we need people who can put more into the game, and I am not even asking for that much.


Don't blame Seibertron, though, Jake... blame me. I'm the bitch here. We are not a casual alliance, we can't play like one any more, so I am having to make the tough decisions.

Seibertron posters are alway given priority over others. It is my belief that forum members deserve it. But when we don't hear anything from you... yes I understand that you had phone problems we waited that one out... we didn't kick you. We had some wars that we did not see you score in with no explanation, and you did not let us know that you would not be able to meet the minimum bps this weekend. So we asked you to go to our other alliance.

The kick message also said that it was just for the remainder of the event... not forever. So I am seriously not sure how much nicer we could have been about this. Any other alliance would have just kicked you completely. All you had to do was let us know that you were busy and not able to make the requirement... we would have asked you to go to II when the event started. Everyone else was happy to do so.
