At a time when every team is capable of doing damage, Grape Ape decides to destroy their safety net. Interstetting. Let's see how the other teams respond to a now defenseless Grape Ape...
I wanted to drop the bricks on the LA Kings, but I was told that isn't possible. |

Grape Ape had two people building yesterday. One building and one covering bricks.

| I hope there aren't any red bricks next year. This is getting a bit silly since they're so lopsided. Perhaps we could make a 5th tower out of gold bricks as freebie days where nobody has to build instead? It'd take one brick for the first freebie day, 2 for the second, 3 for the third, etc... What do you think? |

I've already thought of next year's hook and I'll explain after we crown our 2012 winners. This year was offensive next year will be defensive, very similar to your idea actually. The bricks are a fun social experiment but I'm happy to bury this format and move on to something else next time. |

I kind of like the red bricks. It's made things very intersetting to watch.

Right, because there are other things going on allowing Lafta and Munkeh to pile up completions. What were you expecting? If this was with the HERBIE and you did both it would be a similar situation, they are in the GSPM so due to random draws they got to put on the same team. People didn't like it and decided to jump on us. Ignoring the fact that with the towers so high its pointless. But please keep wasting them on us, I am sure they won't be wasted. it just shows the gang mentality going on. The way things look you have maybe 3 teams that will have a strong chance on winning this (GNB {two members that won last year on the same team....}, FF, and Hamsters) but everyone wants to pile on the team that is already above most of the people were able to put up for towers last year.
Honestly the bricks were a joke since something like this was bound to happen (Random teams = BFFs on other teams allowing teams to strong arm the rest of the members into joining the dog pile).
I am glad to see that they are not going to be allowed next year since it really ruined the fun that I was expecting to have after hearing about the great fun that it was last year. |

I was actually kind of at a loss for the continued drops on Team N.
But, I only barely payed attention, so, I figured I missed something. |

TBH, regardless of who we dropped on the outcome would have been the same. We dropped on several different teams, so members of certain teams organise a joint assault.
Then we decide to focus on just one team at a time and we still get a backlash. So the outcome would always be the same. We're just playing the game. We would be idiots if we just sat on 10 bricks whilst our completions go to waste. People read way too much into it. Not every team in this has some secret agenda. |

No problem.

Exactly what Chunkeh said, before when we were "randomly dropping on teams" people didn't like it. So we switched to focus on one team, and guess what, people don't like that either! lol.
It's all good, and if anything it has pushed my scoring a little higher on build days, so my GSPM/GTASC teams have been benefitting. And so has my Iron Man score ;)
Maybe I'm feeling sorry for myself, bu I feel there's a lot of hate for me personally, and that has contributed to our team taking a pounding. If that is the case then I apologise to my team members, people love to hate! |

Instead of letting teams pick who they drop on, we should have just made a standard drop rule. For example when a team accumulated 4 bricks they would be automatically dropped on the team with the lowest tower in alphabetical order.
Everyone continuing to drop on Grape to me seems like an emotional strategy as there isn't any logic at this point because they are so handicapped. Maybe everyone was afraid of them or something?
I really don't agree that the other TA challenges matter. Both of those don't reward high scoring at all. One you need top 50 by Sept and the other you just stay out of the bottom 2.
But....the discussion really has picked up in here! :) |

Not yet, but from an observer standpoint, you guys seem to be going down the list in an unknown order and have a massive brick drop every few days. It's not that you have attacked everyone yet. It's that your previous actions suggest that you're going to attack everyone. As people draw near to the max brick level, who did you think they would attack? A team picking fights or some random team? That's what I suspect is going on anyway.
You're not exactly an observer, since you're part of the angry mob going after the monster.
The monster can't help itself, it sees life and is driven to destroy it. It lacks the intellect to derive strategies and form alliances. It's only instincts are survival and destruction. The mob might take the monster down eventually but the amount of casualties will be immense.
Personally, I would try to avoid the attention of the monster but that's just me.
