    I have this feeling that few of the FUN members are actually employees of Gree. It sets up how much has to be spent on wars. You would see RK trying to catch up, only to be left in the dust a few hours later. Then trying to catch up again....RK using up all the gems they have and buying some more. With the rest of the top ten trying to pass on who's above them. It's just a hunch, how else are they given their own named units as part of the prize.

    Yup, seen it all too often, RK waits for FUN to match. SB waits for both RK and FUN to match. Its easier for the top 3 because they just have to avoid one or two opponents to get both the big prizes. The gap is widening like crazy now. Unless something radical is done, people will gradually lose interest and quit. After all, where's the fun when you can only hit castles.

These factors are a big reason why a lot of top 100 teams had to the strongest guilds. It sucks, but it could probably be easily fixed if Gree only allowed teams to play each other once per war. If you know you will get just one war against FUN/RK, all of the higher level teams would be willing to declare immediately.
    actually a very interesting thought. its like a competition. fight another guild once and see where you end up in the grand scheme of things. and to make it even more interesting let the last matchup be complete random draw, meaning you can face anybody. sort of ultimate fight.

    Sorry about that Lady Zenobia, we don't wanna match up with your team more than once. Probably one or two is enough, but Gree is the trigger man to match us up. To be honest with you, we wanna face RK & SB all the time or the other top 10 team than you guys.

    We only match up with RK on the very last war besides the glitch war at the end. We had never face SB this war & i salute them for being good in hiding against us...

    That doesn't sound pleasant at all! I also get the impression Gree wouldn't be very gentlemanly about it either: Dinner, movie, condom, lube. "Condom?! Condoms are for sailors!" I get the impression it would be more of a prison style encounter.

    Z, I think I speak for everyone when I say I prefer the Lady Crows Mud Wrestling talk.

    We faced a lot of top 50 guilds this go around. Bit unusual seeing as we were never a top 100 guild before.

    Hi Gambit. I did say just a few of you.......you and I can never be sure, not even your own members. It's just weird that before the Guild wars, the RK's are always in the top 50 in the box event including the top 1 spot, almost consistently. RK's was suppose to dominate the guild wars coz they spend more, but obviously that did not happen. "Someone" probably knows who to make as FUN members and who not to accept using accounts history.....lol. But don't take too much of what I say...I'm just paranoid.

    Exactly! Obviously! Now I have no idea honestly if FUN or any other guild has any Gree employees on the team. I am not huge on conspiracy theories. But a lot of things are in the realm of possibility. Indulge me and just follow this line of thought with me before you say it's absolutely impossible:

    • Imagine you were a Gree employee. Would you really not join in playing the game you work on? Think about it. The odds that not one employee of Gree is playing the game is about zero.
    • Therefore it is possible that any guild in existence could have one or more members who are actually Gree employees. It is possible there is one in my guild. I like to believe not but I'm not totally naive - it is possible and surely is the case in some of our guilds. Though if it were true of MoC I think we'd have had helluva lot easier war. But I digress.
    • If you were a Gree employee and playing the game, would you trust every member of your guild enough to tell them that you work for Gree? Would you even tell one or two?
    • "But I know every member of my guild inside and out, and I'm positive none of them work for Gree!" Has every member of your guild actually happened to mention the name of their employer in conversation? And if so, until they send you a copy of their paycheck, hate to tell you, they could be lying. (Heck you can't even believe a paycheck stub - it could be their spouse's!) People do lie to people they are close to. All the time. Especially when they have a secret that huge.
    • If you were a Gree admin or moderator, would you admit to the forum that there is no way they can prevent Gree employees from playing the game?
    • And finally, if you were a Gree employee, playing KA... what guild would you join?

    Just food for thought. Wish we had a popcorn eating smiley here.

    If the employees have perks, I am sure they join the top rated guilds....

    Its really just a moot point whether or not FUN has Gree employees in it. It is all just speculation, nobody would be able to prove it, and FUN isn't the one clicking on your refill energy button.

    Here's food for thought... FUN has won every war and RK always finishes second. If RK decided not to keep up with FUN and spend half of what they do, would all other guilds follow suit? Let FUN spend whatever they want and RK can set the pace.

    You guys run conspiracy theories like there's no tomorrow.
    Yet you don't consider all the variables necessary in order to have a solid foundation.
    Hav you consider that top guilds might have a strategy as well?
    That they just dont declare war blindly like most of us do and hoping we aren't match by a guild on which we have the disadvantage ?
    Aside you guys thinking GREE here and GREE there, which in no way I'm defending since the game continues to have several issues. But just food for thought.
