Frontlines, 2 GC cheating working as 2 v 1

Both the Mael and Flames are working together in ever Frontlines I've been as a Twin.

This is a good strategy, but hard to pull off. If one grand company is vastly ahead there's no point for the two in last place to fight each other.

Can't do much about it if they are using voice-chat or other communication tools that are outside of the game to coordinate those efforts.

Could also have people within Twin Adders that intentionally play bad to give the others an easier time.

Where did the OP mention that he was ahead at the time?

It was at the start. I went as Alliance B, all 3 GC met at middle and both Mael and Flames didnt even fight each other but instead work together!! This went on for 5 matches already!

Although I have experienced this myself, I can't say I considered it cheating. It's just good strategy. Pick off one group then fight it out amongst yourselves for first place.

Yea, it's not cheating just strategy. Remember we can't make alliances and the DF is a pool of multiple servers. It's almost impossible for say a FC to control two different GC in frontlines.

I think this is just strategy.

To me cheating is when I enter, and the Maelstrom does nothing from in their starting base and lets the Flames take their bases for the points against Adders. =/

I'm sorry this ruined your experience as the opposing team, but I have to say it's a really awesome strategy and kudos to those whom were able to pull it off. It's not easy to coordinate something like that with another alliance of 24 potential enemies so if I were to be victim to that I couldn't even be mad, I'd be impressed.

Twin Adder here.
Feels like we're forever meant to be 3rd.
Best leader 'n' everythin'...

Maybe Gridania is just bad.

No where, I inferred it :D

So there's basically an unwritten rule in front lines where the treehuggers are immediately removed from the equation?
I initially found this amusing, but its a pretty harsh tactic, one that'll eventually blow up when everyone starts either leaving Adders or just not participating at all.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, the Adders are the one's in third place all the time? Oh, my Maelstrom record begs to differ, haha! But all joking aside, I believe we're on different Data Centers, so there's really no use in complaining about one GC losing over another because it'll be different from Center to Center. And in terms of coordinating something like that, it would be supremely difficult, so as far as I'm concerned, you're just having some bad luck.

You lose so you think people are out to get you? Stop being a child. There is no grand conspiracy to beat a certain GC.
