please just stop...

Hold your tongue, Pig...

What law does it break? The whole vacation mode thing is a ill thought out idea anyway...

lol...

The fact you have smashed them into dust should be payment enough in my opinion.

This bit made me laugh.

A small group of people are the ones playing any meaningful 'politics', the rest of us, the much larger majority, we are just the sheep that follow them and the cows they milk. If you get your kicks out of role playing a politican, more power to you, but you can pretty much affix 'Politics' to any of the browser games, Politics and Travian, Tribal 'Politics' Wars, etc etc. The political side of this game is no different to those two browser games. Do people come up with CB's in those games other then, 'they are getting too powerful, we should chop em down a bit, so we are more powerful'? This game is no different, otherwise Sheepy wouldn't have focused it purely on the war side of the fence.

I agree with you that war in this game is very costly, even moreso if you don't have friends or a decent alliance to help you out. War is part of the game everyone can join in on, the politics side of the game is played by a handful of people in comparison. If I hadn't come with a group of guys I knew beforehand, I would have left this game a long time ago. For the average joe, it's boring as hell. It'll happen to most alliances at some point in time anyway, so it never comes as a surprise. Most wars between top alliances basically come down to one thing, one side being afraid of the power of the other one and wanting to curb that power. Which, for any alliance is a perfectly valid CB.

Seriously, this is a internet browser game, the 'I'm bored' CB is perfectly valid. Everything else is just fluff, often worded to make people feel justified in what they do. You are not real leaders in charge of real people, there is no blood upon anyones hands, it's a bunch of pixels. 'I'm attacking you because...' is as valid a CB as one constructed with fancy reasoning. Build it up, to smash it down is pretty much the essence of these type of games.

I'm neither violent nor live in a council house...

This is a Mensa-UPN circle jerk thread, go take your butthurt BoCness elsewhere...

When I speak, I speak soley for myself. Hard concept to get your head around, huh?

Both are shit tier...

With such beauties as me and you BB, is it any wonder?

I'm not saying it's not a shitty thing to do, simply stating that it's something that will always happen in games such as this. Therefore it's not a 'big deal', it's expected behaviour. Most alliances will use the services of spies at one point or another. The way Shellhound went about it was indeed wrong and deserved to be rolled, but only due to him using multis to acheive it.

Happens all the time, it's not a big deal.

How about being able to set your reset time yourself? Can't be that hard to code. surely. A drop down box in the nation edit that allows you to choose a time which best suites you and your life. Also gives you the added fun of not knowing what time your enemy can rebuild! As Dan says, it gives a massive advantage the way it is now, to those players in a favourable timezone.

y'all need to take a big deep breath and sut the !@#$ up, t'is but a game...

So you wish to be able to spend 5 days grinding someones infra down at minimal losses to yourself, while your defeated enemy just has to take his licks. Even though he may not of been the aggressor and may have even been jumped by 3 players? Surely if you already have control of the fight, the best way stop his missles is to beige him as soon as possible...

I hear ya brother! I have many other important duties I need to do before I leave the house at 7am, like have a poo and make a cup of tea.

It's too easy...

Voted for the Dio Dollar, otherwise Mensa won't give me anymore funding...

Should lower the price of credits if all they are used for is cosmetic stuff, $12 for a name change seems excessive to me considering I'd then need another 8 credits to fully 'customise' my account!

The 'couldn't peace a raid target quick enough to get invovled' war! Is what I have called it.
