---

Let's hear from some of the players!:

[pr] Epic_win: ~Desu: That was a good game! Conglatulation on SM 500th CW. Can I interview you?
[pr] ~Desu: Oh sure.
[pr] Epic_win: ~Desu: Did SM had any kind of plan for the cw?
[pr] Epic_win: ~Desu: or all was random?
[pr] ~Desu: All random. We had a great idea forming on the first round but someone kept dc'ing and we ended up remaking 5x.
[pr] Epic_win: ~Desu: yeah but finally the CW started.... Is this the first time that a 10vs10 CW on whole world happens?
[pr] ~Desu: Which is too bad, we had the best picks the first time through. And yes, first 10 vs 10 World CW
[pr] Epic_win: ~Desu: Too bad about the picks. What was your impression when SM lost in america and asia?
[pr] ~Desu: "Too bad," but still had a chance. Europe was winning and we just had to hold out.
[pr] Epic_win: ~Desu: And then Goblin and The Tactician made an awesome recover around turn 27! What do you think about this? Did they had chances at this time?
[pr] Epic_win: ~Desu: Tactician got Madara off europe, and goblin retook some russian territories. Did the clan still trust on a victory after that?
[pr] ~Desu: Oh yeah of course. Hard to say who did better, but there was some awesome gameplay. When Joed was killed and SM had more SP, it was a pretty awesome moment too.
[pr] ~Desu: Definitely. We had a feeling Tirpitz couldn't hold forever, which was the case, but if we could manage to hold the Middle East we thought we could win.
[pr] Epic_win: ~Desu: Cool. One last question
[pr] Epic_win: ~Desu: After the 500th CW, what do you think about the future of Stalins Martians ?[/color
[pr] ~Desu: Complete stability, just as we always had. It's pretty bright. The group is always good.
[pr] ~Desu: We've always considered ourselves one of the best, and will continue to follow that statement through thick and thin.
[pr] Epic_win: ~Desu: Good to know. Thanks for the time, and Good luck in the future of the clan!
[pr] ~Desu: You're welcome, I look forward to the article.

[pr] The Tactician: hi
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: Hey!
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: so I know is a bit later but can I interview you?
[pr] The Tactician: Sure!
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: First of all, Conglatulation SM for their 500th CW!
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: Was enjoylable the cw?
[pr] The Tactician: Thanks, its an honor to be apart of it!
[pr] The Tactician: very enjoyable, big cw's always are
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: Yes, but it took some remakes before start.... Did the wait wort it?
[pr] The Tactician: Definetly worth it.
[pr] The Tactician: it was so annoying though when people dc'd hahaha
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: Yeah
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: But at last, the CW finally started!
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: Did you like the picks? Did you had any plan for the game?
[pr] The Tactician: I think the picks were pretty much well balanced, we maybe had a player more in Europe, but that Egypt was breathing down Gob's neck.
[pr] The Tactician: We generally wanted to win eu and asia
[pr] The Tactician: from there it shoudve been easy
[pr] The Tactician: i guess we can, not sure how much time i have but might be able to play
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: Yeah.... but by turn 10, SM was removed from Asia and America!
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: What were your impressions about it?
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: Was game over? or still not?
[pr] The Tactician: Yes its unfortunate, losing Asia was tough, game changing.
[pr] The Tactician: but the game is never over till the fat lady sings!!! (or in this case a duet from ivan and amok)
[pr] The Tactician: Although things were pretty hard on us by then
[pr] The Tactician: it was really more celebratory than competitive, everybody had a blast, thats whats important
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: So, advancing.
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: Madara started to attack Europe by turn 19, and in turn 21 he managed to take both Paris and Spain !
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: What did you though about this?
[pr] The Tactician: Yea we observed Madara's bombers coming from USA a few turns before, hence my walls
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: But the move in paris and madrid was outstanding! It reverted France economy back to 100%
[pr] The Tactician: he shook us up a bit, but everything was able to be retaken eventually
[pr] The Tactician: yes a scattered raid of bombers with very high range causes panick, nobody really knows where youre going to hit

[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: You are right, and by turn 26, you did an impressive job taking madara out of europe and taking some lands in russia.
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: Goblin as well took some russian territories, africa, and arabia
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: Did you though SM was advancing foward?
[pr] The Tactician: Goblin was OP
[pr] The Tactician: We were definetly making progress
[pr] The Tactician: Enough to take the game though? not sure
[pr] The Tactician: they had swarms coming from Asia and America, assaults from everywhere
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: That is right
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: Even though regaining land, Tirpitz eventually lost his capital in turn 28!
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: Was there any plan for recap him?
[pr] The Tactician: Yes Tirp was being pressured a lot
[pr] The Tactician: Well after Tehran being taken the game's outcome was set
[pr] The Tactician: but oh well, it was a very fun and interesting game!
[pr] The Tactician: Very epic indeed
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: I agree, It was a very historical game for whole AW community!
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: One last question
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: After your teanmates left, It was curious your 165 units in sea. What were you planning to do with that?
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: Was you planning to attack Madara with that? or there was an stealth attack following it?
[pr] The Tactician: eventually I had to reach USA
[pr] The Tactician: so yea i had a few subs backing up
[pr] The Tactician: but that was my main force
[pr] Epic_win: The Tactician: Cool, Thanks for your time!
[pr] The Tactician: My pleasure! Just want to say thanks to all of evoL for participating in our celebratory CW and thanks to all my clanmates/leaders from being so OP and leading us to 500 CWs! Also xenoisgay

[pr] Epic_win: Madara: I've got like 30 mins... so can I interview you?
[pr] Madara: Sure.
[pr] Epic_win: Madara: aight.

[pr] Epic_win: Madara: SM had their 500th cw and evoL was recluiting old members for join. Did you joined in this way?
[pr] Epic_win: Madara: What where your thoughs about this special CW?
[pr] Madara: Good friend of mine, Sas, said they needed another and insisted that I play. So, I took him up on the offer and generous oppurtunity.
[pr] Epic_win: Madara: So, after some remakes, the CW finally started!
[pr] Madara: Yeah on the last remake I told evoL I'd leave if there was another remake but luckily the game started.

[pr] Epic_win: Madara: What did you though about USA scenario? having midwest and great lakes and a mexico as ally....
[pr] Epic_win: Madara: midwest and great lakes as enemy*
[pr] Madara: I didn't think we'd win in USA, I was sure they'd both rush me before Mexico could help me. Plus Mexico went Blitz so I was expecting somewhat of a disaster.
[pr] Madara: But mantis wasn't doing much and thankfully b0nker rushed USA atlantic like I anticipated.
[pr] Epic_win: Madara: Yes, and you managed to cap bonker by turn 6!


[pr] Epic_win: Madara: After winning on America, did you had a plan for attack Europe?
[pr] Madara: Yeah I was gonna keep France and UK busy while Asia worked their way into Europe
[pr] Madara: And fund them a couple thousand every few turns
[pr] Epic_win: Madara: Did you had any stealth attack planned?
[pr] Madara: Nah, stealth isn't my thing. UK went for a sealth attack tho, made me more confident that I was doing my job

[pr] Epic_win: Madara: So the bombers where your choise. And by turn 21 you did a great move capping paris and taking spain!
[pr] Epic_win: Madara: were*
[pr] Epic_win: Madara: Did you though "the end" was near for SM, after reverting france income to 100% ?
[pr] Madara: Yeah I noticed how much weaker France was compared to UK so I took both to get rid of his reinforcements. I wanted to keep their attention so I did something crazy and risky.
[pr] Madara: It was over when they lost Asia and USA so quickly, the atmosphere in evoL was very calm and confident except for chill x3 he made it fun

[pr] Epic_win: Madara: What about The Tactician? by turn 26 he manages to remove you completery from Europe, while making some advances in Russia, along with Goblin.
[pr] Epic_win: Madara: What were your thoughs about it?
[pr] Madara: Yeah Tact definitely pushed me out of Europe but then he never went to help his team keep Tirp alive
[pr] Madara: I just kept spamming some bombers every now and then and he just stayed where he was like I wanted him to
[pr] Madara: Funded my team mates every now and then
[pr] Madara: He did great holding me off but idk why he used 300 units to do it

[pr] Epic_win: Madara: Excelent strategy! And by turn 28, evoL finally capped Tirpitz !
[pr] Epic_win: Madara: Did you though it was over for SM? Did the clan though Tirpitz would be recapped by goblin?
[pr] Madara: Yeah After that I skipped Eu went towatd goblin to TB and kill some of his stacks
[pr] Madara: Yeah I was sure it was over around turn 10 which was disappointing
[pr] Madara: And we didn't think they would recap, even if they did we had tons of units floating around. Everyone was calm
[pr] Madara: Paolo never spoke a word during the CW, MOU hardly spoke aswell

[pr] Epic_win: Madara: And by turn 30, the last hope for SM (win by SP) was lost!
[pr] Epic_win: Madara: Did you enjoy the CW?
[pr] Madara: I wish it was exciting as it sounds but turn 30 was it for the CW
[pr] Madara: I enjoyed it . Glad to have been apart of it
[pr] Epic_win: Madara: Cool! One last question

[pr] Epic_win: Madara: Even though USA: Pacific is the biggest economy of USA, it didnt received much attention from the start.
[pr] Epic_win: Madara: Why you think this happened?
[pr] Madara: SM was too preoccupied to go for it and I didn't get it cause I'm such a slow player and it wasn't a big deal
[pr] Epic_win: Madara: Good, Thanks for your time!
[pr] Madara: My pleasure.

[pr] Madara: joedtaxi: So, how did you hear about the 500th CW and why did you go to fight for evoL?
[pr] joedtaxi: well MOU pmed me and asked me would i like to go back for the cw because of my history with evol so i tought it would be fun to play in it
[pr] Madara: joedtaxi: What were your impressions when evoL beat SM in Asia and America?
[pr] joedtaxi: i had a feeling we would win asia because i think we had better picks but i was pretty shocked we won in america
[pr] joedtaxi: i dont remember the players but we had a blitz mexico which i tought was going to be a disaster
[pr] Madara: joedtaxi: It was Madara and Unlimited Power
[pr] joedtaxi: ahh
[pr] Madara: joedtaxi: How did evoL lose Europe? People in game chat were sure you'd win
[pr] joedtaxi: well they had an extra player so that is what it came down to id say
[pr] joedtaxi: i think they had better picks aswell
[pr] Madara: joedtaxi: Did you feel that evoL victory was in danger at any point in the game?
[pr] joedtaxi: at the start i wasnt sure if we would win or not but once we won asia and america i knew we would win it

[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: I catch u!
[pr] Tirpitz!: hu?
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: time for an interview!
[pr] Tirpitz!: ok
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: can I?
[pr] Tirpitz!: ofc
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: Thanks you!
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: So, what do you think about SM 500th CW? it had to be remaked 5 times!
[pr] Epic_win: did it wort the wait?
[pr] Tirpitz!: waiting 30 hours for a game of cap stacking was so much fun, I want to do it everyday now
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: Cool, so the CW finally started. Did SM had any kind of plan? or all was random?
[pr] Tirpitz!: no
[pr] Tirpitz!: the plan was: we win
[pr] Tirpitz!: but desus plans are away retarded
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: So, advancing. What where your thoughs when SM lost in both Asia and America?
[pr] Tirpitz!: My thoughts on asia were that I told desu to pick Vietnam, but he doesn't want to listen to people he considers as worse than himself because he is ignorant as hell
[pr] Tirpitz!: when I noticed we were loosing in usa I was like "Oh, we lost in USA, didn't notice"
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: And what about Europe?
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: Nero and joedtaxi were still there, by that time.
[pr] Tirpitz!: well, I was happy that my allies were winning because I wouldn't get gangbanged if my allies won at least half of the Eurasian continent
[pr] Epic_win: by turn 19, SM had control over all europe, and ukraine was very weak!
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: Do you think SM had chances of victory?
[pr] Tirpitz!: if my allies funded me a bit more and just like DIDNT SPAM MOS STEALTHS
[pr] Tirpitz!: if they jewed USA and like funded me a bit more, we coul've won
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: So they didn't had a plan for jew usa mainland?
[pr] Tirpitz!: well, i mean if they took some USA
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: Well, one last question...
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: By turn 28, SM had an impressive recover by getting Americans out of europe, and Goblin also recovered some russian territories.
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: However, SM didnt was doing that good on africa and middle east, where you got capped
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: Was there any plan for recap you?
[pr] Tirpitz!: yes, we had me capped, but asia was spamming bombers and 50 bombers tbed an 60 unit stack i had, and with wich we would've recapped
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: So, after your cap and consecuently dead in turn 30, was it "Game over" for SM?
[pr] Tirpitz!: yes, because we lost 1k SP with wich we could've won after some time
[pr] Epic_win: Tirpitz!: ok, Thanks you for the interview!
[pr] Tirpitz!: np

[pr] Epic_win: Mr_Own_U: ok, time for an interview.
[pr] Epic_win: Mr_Own_U: can I?
[pr] Mr_Own_U: sure.
[pr] Epic_win: Mr_Own_U: cool, let get this starting.


[pr] Epic_win: Mr_Own_U: How did evoL feel when SM offer to have their 500th CW with evoL?
[pr] Mr_Own_U: I was surprised. evoL is only a year old. SM is a clan that no one can quite compare to. We were honored.
[pr]Mr_Own_U: I thought some oldschool members coming back would make it even more epic, which it did. The other leaders of evoL returning for this event was great.
[pr] Epic_win: Mr_Own_U: And how do you feel to see your old clanmates rejoining for enjoy this special cw?
[pr] Mr_Own_U: I felt great, a nice reminisce. A blast from the past.


[pr] Epic_win: Mr_Own_U: So, after some remakes the CW finally started.
[pr] Epic_win: Mr_Own_U: What were your impressions when evoL beat SM in Asia and America?
[pr] Mr_Own_U: Excited, we felt we had the best picks in both parts. We just had to out perform them since they are great players.
[pr] Epic_win: Mr_Own_U: It was a very cool and very awesome part of the cw.
[pr] Epic_win: Mr_Own_U: However, at some point around turn 27, The Tactician and Goblin manages to push Madara out of Europe and recover some Russian territories.
[pr] Mr_Own_U: Yep I agree. Definetly one I'll remember and would be placed into top 3 of my career.
[pr] Epic_win: Mr_Own_U: Did you felt that evoL victory was in danger?
[pr] Mr_Own_U: No, we knew they would gain some territory back in clumps, cause the way we sent our first wave left us vulnerable to it. Also knowing we had entire Americas/Asia/India we felt confident.
[pr] Epic_win: Mr_Own_U: cool, another question!
[pr] Epic_win: Mr_Own_U: joedtaxi holds his capital and the hope for Ukraine for about 26 turns!
[pr] Epic_win: Mr_Own_U: what do you think about it? Did it grave enough time for evoL to push back over asia?
[pr] Mr_Own_U: Not much. We all knew joe could have been capped at any time. There was absolutely no reason for take out joe, since he wasn't a threat anymore.
[pr] Mr_Own_U: No, goblin didn't focus on joe either, he went to Asia. Made little difference.
[pr] Mr_Own_U: But joe still did an excellent job
[pr] Mr_Own_U: And was crucial in our victory.

[pr] Epic_win: Mr_Own_U: ok, one last question.
[pr] Epic_win: Mr_Own_U: evoL currently have 364 CW's. Will you guys plan a special cw for the 500th too?
[pr] Mr_Own_U: Yes I hope to have something planned for evoLs 500th Clanwar, I'm sure we will make it !
