SAS only changed their name to confuse Intel and it didn't work. They changed it back for their SS collection of 3 screenshots. Two of them from last war.Quote:

Classy in victory. Nice.
Battle was awesome to watch. And we appreciate knowing that Gree has been funded to continue Crime City for many months to come!! Good stuff!!
Congrats to the winner!!

The fact that you changed your syndicate name to swindle wins is the biggest joke of all.Quote:

Given their history, that syndicate and all of its affiliates shouldn't be proud about anything. At this point, everything they do in their war against TAW is a result of being dumb, stubborn, and addicted to a silly mobile app.Quote:

Indeed mate. This is billed as free game, but a chosen few amongst the masses that play it, chose to over spend on this free game. It is their choosing to do so and others choose to over spend on other things of their choosing. Happy gaming mate. CC goes on anyway.
Wow, 3.9 million in victory points. A lot of syndicates didn't score this much during the 5 day battle. Happy gaming mate.Quote:

We are very proud we won as TAW is a very strong opponent.
That is an entirely different discussion. We can debate if this game is worth spending money on, if it is worth spending time on, and how much money or time is reasonable. If we all agree that we are here to play this game, if we agree that a few hundred people would like to come in first in a battle, and they have chosen to spend a lot of time and money on the game, I think it is fair to respect the accomplishment for what it is: SAS was able to defeat the people who never lost a war. People used to mock SAS for being the only syndicate to consistently drive to defeat TAW. Any player on SAS would have been welcome on TAW; but these players didn't want to take the easy road. Since the start of syndicates any clown with gold could have joined FC or TAW and called themselves a champion. SAS is the only syndicate to earn first and actually win the game. No one thought it was possible, I have heard every "Stuck At Second" joke you can think of, and they never lost focus. They crushed it, on their terms, and within the context of the game it is quite an impressive accomplishment.Quote:

Seriously ...if no one spent do you think game would be around? About our so called " history" well , there are folks out there today that think man never really landed on the moon! All entitled to believe what they wish... Good day all here !!
I suppose from a certain point of view, you're right; the individuals in SAS have achieved no prize, status or honor outside of the game and its player base. However, is the game really their focus?Quote:

The reason you chose to pay to walk out with nothing is because you were paying for entertainment.
If someone has thousands in disposable cash every month and this game brings them so much enjoyment, who are you to criticize how they enjoy their recreation? They're obviously more successful IRL than you and me combined in at least one area of life!
Many did. Sas was/will always be a feeder syndicate for taw/fc.Quote:

You in your statement act As if SAS is the only syn that spends thousands of dollars. It's not just the top 2 that do this. If your trolling to make yourself feel better then I hoped it worked if this is a real statement I wish that you would think before posting mindless drivel that only makes you look like a fool.Quote:

Folks spend money on movies. Folks spend money on private airplanes. Folks gamble in Vegas 3-4 times a year. Folks play video games. Haters will always hate. Good job SAS. I'd be proud as hell if our team game in first, even if no one outside of this came would ever know.
To any SAS player who wants that, good riddance. Join them sooner rather than later.Quote:

Some of you are very clearly sore about the amount you spend though, or some random person on the internet laughing at you for it wouldn't bother you at all. I mean, you can afford it and it makes you happy, right? Ignorance is bliss, so they say.
How many vaults per player did it take to win this pissing contest?
Oh the pissing contest isn't over yet...
It doesn't bother me, or anyone else, so don't worry about it. I think it is generally considered rude to insult someone for what you perceive their spending habits to be, not just on the game, but in general. So just go on being a weasel and we will go on as we please.Quote:

Good for Gree for taking full advantage of the weakest of minds.

Most of the ones I have spoken too were pleased to see SAS win if for no reason than to see things changed up. I don't think anyone was expecting to see it on Sports Center or CNN, or for any random bar or cafe patron to be particularly impressed.
If you want to question the value of spending so much money on a phone game, that's a different debate with all kinds of arguments. Is it moral or ethical with all the suffering in the world? Is it any worse than people who spend far more money in casinos or on champagne that they pour in the gutter to impress people? Is it kind of the big spenders to support a game so people can play for free? Is anyone who pays for cable each month going to hell because they don't put the money towards charity?
Different discussion.
Too much reading to catch up on this argument.
But if I were to say one thing.. I can't wait to see the leaderboard for this upcoming street assault.
3 things can happen.
1- SAS will get cocky and TAW will beat them in a landslide
2- TAW will disappear from the leaderboard for most of the battle, save up all of their gold, and make the biggest comeback in cc history on the last day
3- Both teams have a run for their money and the victor doesn't win by much
The second one would be cool to watch
You must be new here, Evan...
Nah, he's been stealing iTunes cards and such since 2012.Quote:
