Clans of Sin Competitive Chronicles

RaY clan has nothing to be ashamed of by losing to the GE. They performed well beyond our expectations. Of course, we realized that our expectations could be seriously off, and so we had our most skilled members fight in this battle...just in case.

RaY was far more aware of the pirate raid timers than the GE. They also did well in setting aside credits for the bounty rushes. RaY managed to have the pirates attack Hobo for the first few raids.

RaY also proved to be more skilled and coordinated at grabbing up neutral planets in the start. By the time the two clans met, RaY had the advantage in planets and resources.

However, while RaY did well in certain overall strategic areas, they did not prove to be the equal tactically to the GE players. In any battle that was remotely even, the GE would force RaY to flee.

The GE also made some wise choices in where and when to attack. They kept the pressure on RaY so they would have no opportunity to effectively counterattack. Eventually, RaY was forced back too far to be able to reasonably recover and it was GG.

I just have to say that RaY members are very polite and civil. They represented their clan very well. GE enjoyed playing against them.

a highly pleasing game, not only the game itself, but also the fact that RaY were a part of what i believe is the first release clan vs clan battle.

the game was played in the right manner, and i thank members of both clans for showing up, and playing the game in a good, competitive spirit.

it was a hard game for us to play, as none of our members had ever played a 4v4 before, but we tried our best. the difference in long-term strategies was obvious as the game began to turn into GE's favour.
we tried to push them back again, however a badly timed pirate raid on Therlun meant he had to send all his units the 5 phase jumps back to his land (we planned to win all the pirate raids on such a close map).
our expansion is much practised, however we may have gained a false sense of security from playing in too many "noob teamers" and at the point of reload, i really felt like we were on top of the game, however some good long term planning and clever tactical moves helped GE overthrow us.

all in all it was a great learning experience (for both sets of players and replay-watchers) and we hope to play GE clan, and other clans in the very near future

RaY team for the event:
[RaY]Rokkit
[RaY]Conan
[RaY]Leinad
[RaY]Therlun


*EDIT*
i would also like to thank the members of GE for being pateint during the game problems i was having, and for agreeing to reload. i am also glad that reloading seems to solve lag issues, and we should remember that for the future

For the GE versus RaY even, the GE was represented by Eet, Gauntlet, Shadowhal and Hobo.

Clan eZ vs Clan LOS

We were going with a DA rush, and my partner has played maybe 2 online games of Sins

I get rushed hardcore by mothership + disciples, I had 4 imperial labs in preparation of the DA. So, I give up my terran planet, and immediately decomission my labs. I replace them with 1 military lab, and start assailant research. The fight goes to my home planet, where I rout them with my superior micro.

The game is 1-sided from there, with a 1v2 taking place on my side, and my tec ally spamming trade ports and feeding excess resources. Watch how many cap ships I down. I ignore casualties when cap ships are gone (because, well, he's getting 0 experience).

@HuntingX - thank you for posting. I'm not familiar with clan eZ and I'm not sure about LoS, if it is the one in the thread I'm think about is a legitimate clan. Do you links to websites or forums for them?

[looking at Ron]

Are you going make that official clan list or is that another thread I have to set-up and maintain?

It was us.

Ah, yes, battles... Battles..... oh that warm feeling comes over me..... oh wait thats pony pee... Congrats to The Empire!

Are you going to add a column for map and/or team size?

We were considering doing it based on team size and then running a total victory list. Sadly enough I have not had time to work on the graphics for those elements yet. But it will happen. That is why I asked for clan leaders to provide game details.

Clan ez vs Clan RaY
2 games
1 2v2, Random Map 2v2 (with pirates)
1 3v3, some fixed 3v3 map (there are no random 3v3 maps), I have no idea what it is, but it was weird as hell. RA is still good!

Results:
eZ 2-0 RaY

I think RaY will post replays later or something.

Great after confirmation I will update the list. Thanks for your input. Also what is the name of eZ? Simply just "eZ"?

Regarding your first post about the game with LoS did you win or lose?

We won vs LOS, won vs RaY, now 3-0

eZ = eZily, our clan name.

OK. I cant edit my post now. Hmm.... Something strange with the forums... I'll update when I can.

erm, sry Hunting but those werent official clanwar matches...

In the 2v2 and 3v3 u played with someone you who isnt even in ur clan.
Those were simply fun games (=> yes some of us test stuff in those and dont play their "standard") like we have them all the time and i dont know why they should be posted here or else i'd have to post here daily.
If u want a real clanmatch then tell us before so we know it will get posted here.

We had an official 4v4 game against Hopeful Horizons today. The GE won the match.

Representing the GE was Emperor Paradoxnt, Eet, Haeso and Starslow. Representing HH was Alehkhs, Blazestorm, BornOfOsiris and Hlaford.

It was a good game and HH brought their good attitudes to the battle like they always do. Thanks for the game guys.

This thread should be "implemented" into game... Right there into hart of IC Online...

That is if devs want healthy claning community

Little button that says "ranked / unranked" should be there too so friendly and official wars can be played without much of forum BS...

We are in 21st century and we are posting clan war results in forums!?!?!

I suggest turning this thread into patch / expansion suggestion...

@Nephilim - That is the plan for our meta-verse system.

On a related note, sadly enough I still cant edit this thread yet to update or any of my threads for that matter. So I'll continue to wait.

I know about your plans and i fully support them - however - my feeling is that something "official" needs to be done about this...

Sins (as a game) and ICO has tremendous potential thats currently way too underused or under-developed...

I mean we have - official forum section dealing with clans and unofficial thread(s) trying to patch some CW results together - meaning there is genuine care and interest for something like this coming from both ends... Developers / Publishers as well as community one...

Since this is fact - why not "patch" and evolve ICO to officially support CWs via "ranked / unranked" switch and simple ladder based on "win / loss" ratio...

Sure there is number of potential issues and problems glued to this - but hey... Better try and do something to evolve your online community than do nothing and hope for the best...

Clan eZ vs Clan GE
Players:
HuntingX
Drexion
Astax

vs

[GE]Haeso
[GE]Lament
[GE]ThidProphecy

Result:
Clan eZ Wins

Back and forth game, not so easy to describe. Basically, my original plan was to rush RA. I didn't play on this map before/know its layout, so my first time on the map was a rude surprise. Everything is like 2 jumps away, and I had gone whale first. Lo and behold, mass Sovas from team GE. They even abuse the Sova glitch, giving me 0 income for a while.

Superior micro on the part of HUNTINGX THE MAGNIFICENT cripples GE's fleet with 2 Cap frags and almost 100 frig frags (kill death 10-1... OH YEAH) Astax pulls off some smooth defense and teching to survive a 2v1 while Drexion and I finish off the third. Finally, the whale hits 6, Astax secret techs to kodiacs, and GE calls it quits.

A decisive win for Clan eZ! Micro is your friend. As a sidenote, I played a horribly underpowered race for this match. Vasari vs 3 tech, all 3 going sova, is UGLY stuff guys. 1.03 sucks for clan battles!

*note to the reader. This is editted for dramatic effect to glorify me, the greatest, etc (tongue in cheek). I'm sure my teammates have their own take on matters (HuntingX was useless, chasing caps around, ignoring fights, forgetting to bomb planets, etc. They're stupid nerds anyway).

With regards to this match...

HuntingX
Drexion
Astax

vs

[GE]Haeso
[GE]Lament
[GE]ThidProphecy

So is Astax who is a member of the RaY clan and wore his RaY tag in that game...a member of eZ? How is this a GE vs eZ match then. Just wondering , because again you dont seem to understand that a clan match between two clans involves just the players from those two clans.  :NOTSURE: 

RaY no longer plays Sins as a clan. The tag is cosmetic, and Astax and I have played a lot of games together. Good to know that you think the TAG is more important than the reality.

lol ..tag more important then reality?. That was a poor attempt...

try again

I hear some scrub talking as if he was good/knew what he was talking about/anyone cared. Too bad.

there goes his superiority complex    lol

take a shower. cool down
