These guys may not even be in IWL yet. From what I hear, they are trying to get in. So...any clan leaders who get these guy's apps...read this first and ask yourself if you still want to have them in your clan.
This story isn't much about good war2 play, it's about horrible sportsmanship and jerky behavior.
Me and StormShadow are louging around in kchat, when an IWL challenge goes up from Huevo and CosmoKramer. We accept it, and decide to play High Seas Combat on medium. They instantly start bitching about how water sucks, etc. Anyways...the game goes as expected and Storm and I beat them pretty bad.
So...in the name of sportsmanship, we agree to give them a rematch. So they pick Continent to Explore, on High. Me and Storm must have been thinking alike, because we both start typing, "Town Hall first!!!!" These two guys agree, and one of them even says, "Yeah...no cheap attacks."
The game starts, and a minute into it, Storm starts saying, "grunts in my town" I'm thinking they did barracks first, because I went hall, farm, barracks, and my barracks wasn't even done yet.
We both start saying, "what the heck...we agreed!" And they give us some crap about how we did it to them on the last board! What the heck...we played High Seas, on Medium!!!! Then the start accusing us of being cheaters. Since they killed Storm first, I was able to build up a little. I had about 7 level 3 grunts and sent them out to go check around. When I got to orange, he had 2 farms, a peon, and one barracks. No town hall. Big surprise. I killed his only peon, so he was effectively gone.
I didn't need to go check black, because I knew his base would be the same. The funny thing is...even though they were trashing our bases...we still would've won. We both could've built new town halls, orange was gone, and I still had a bunch of level 3 grunts that were about to go kill black's only peon. But rather than stick around and play a worthless game, we both left.
If you think that's the end of story...nope. There's still a little more. Upon re-entering kchat, Storm gets bombarded by /msg's saying "we won, we won." So he /ignores them. Meanwhile, I hop onto the IWL page to tell Cpl Will about this. While I'm there, I decide to check my email. Imagine my surprise when I see that I have 12 messages from one of them all saying, "we won." Boy...I hope they are proud of themselves.
I'm not sure if they really did win. Even if they did...I don't care. IWL is a place for fun. We were playing war2 before it existed, and if it shut down tomorrow, we'd still be playing. Try and keep this a fun place by letting losers like that know that they aren't welcomed here. I for one will never play either of those two again. Even if they are easy points, and even if they start calling me a wimp, I'm better than that.
