AOE-II Who will win Nations Cup IV? (+150.000$ 4v4 RM tournament)

[Philippe le Bon]

I feel it coming.

Next year.

Some nations have been jumbled together, because of:
A) Fairness. Let every team have a chance!
Some countries have two, sometimes even one pro player, you can't expect to win with an expert and three noobs);
B) Maximum 25 options on AoEZone polls.

Which Age of Empires II team, which AoE2 nation will be crowned... greatest of the universe? ​

You should be permanently banned for including Taiwan with China.

Even for Philippe this is a dumb ****ing poll.

Even for Philippe this is a dumb ****ing poll.

why do i feel insulted

 

[Philippe le Bon]

this is actually very smart. if i make a big deal of Nations Cup IV, they'll (whoever "they" are) be obligated to make it happen

i am a big asset to the aoe2 community for initiatives like these

 

[Philippe le Bon]

I'm done. Well by the DMs I got, as people think I care about geopolitical affairs in China, by the messages I recieved (you always think too serious here wtf)

Like I care to put subtle political messages about countries I am largely ignorant about. I'm not that smart to try and hurt people out of foreign politics allusions, and I feel like people that go to these levels of thoughts

That was an unvolontary mistake like a mind like mine which is over-bubbly, and electric often do, but I won't even apologize because this last two years often I do **** here to try and enlighten the atmosphere here, I get treated like I don't belong.

So do whatever you have to do, put « The Dragons (China + Hong Kong + Taiwan) », put an other name, allow an higher number of options in the poll to avoid me to scramble stuff and do mental pirouettes to piece together things that are hard to combine, delete my poll, delete my thread, delete my account, hack my phone (coz yea my computer's dead again, and I contrary to you assholes I don't have no family to rely on), don't try to send pizzas at my place cause I don't have a place, both literally and figuratively, I don't give a damn at that point

You're not talking to a ****ing bot, you can dislike me all you want, but when the threshold, the level of conduct expected from me is for some obscene reason way higher for me than for any other, because of what's considered "cool" on this website in 2022 (aka. creating conflicts out of thin air, aka. what I don't think AoEZone), it kinda pisses me off

Anyways I'm done with living, especially when it's to brush off my existence with people like that (not all fortunately, else I'd already be dead by now) who only crave to kick an other human in the head when he/she's already stuck in the ground. I can't believe it. See you in hell

 

[Pinch3Terneira]

[DreamingFighter]

I'm with Phillip here: Please leave politics out of this. The Russia-Ukraina war is ****ed-up already.

Please check official name of Taiwan!

Don't be sad man, I'm here and plenty of others here know you post stuff lightheartedly or in jest. Earlier we could just post what we felt like and everyone, or most people here at least, would understand both the post and also what we felt like when we posted it, and take it in the right spirit. But because the world is like it is today and the internet is about ambushing people for perceived offences, its difficult to make people laugh without making many others angry in the process.

Just take it in your stride and know that people who are also tired of overly serious internet shenanigans exist and don't want to make you a punching bag. Don't leave and make it seem more hopeless for the rest who stay.

Coming to the poll, yes, people should understand countries will have to be grouped some way or the other due to limited poll options and a quick grouping based on geographical closeness shouldn't be taken as some political statement, especially when team names like names like Noob Scandinavians and Alpaca Alliance make it clear how serious it is.

I'm haven't been following the scene closely enough so I don't know if India has more high-level players besides Dragonstar but I hope India would do well. If the tournament is far enough away maybe I can finally mend my noob ways and contribute too. As to winning team, I vote Brazil as it'll be a solid team and my knowledge about the other countries is out of date.

I always say it, but imagine teams split by language to compete against the top nations:

Spanish, English, Slavic, German speakers

vs.

Brazil, Suomi, China, Vietnam

Then add Scandinavia, France, Turkey, Benelux, Italy & Taiwan, plus 2 qualifying 'B' teams and you have a 'BOA-type NC' (i.e. a NC with all pros).

As an example, this could be good content for streams like 'GerMonday', e.g. Nili on VC with Jordan, Liereyy etc.

 

[King_Boo]

Agreed, it should be View attachment 200026 China (Including View attachment 200027 PRC)

EDIT: This **** just came to my mind.

Yea, and all Slavic people could talk Slavic with each other on voicechat

 

[Rustyiesty]

Good point, rename that (civ) to Rus.

Also, we need Modri to team with Daut, so no qualifiers and West, South and East Slavic teams 11.
