try to get stronger... evade attacks.. use your resources immediately. if he has no loot every time he attacks you, he will stop. he will just waste coins and time.. when you become stronger its up to you if you will revenge or not..

just my 2 cents

B) send Soulburn 1000 food every day forever
C)write i surrender on paper and film it and put it on youtube

Don't we just love all the misinformation going on in this thread.

Connie Sim, a member of Jelmer's alliance, bullied our low level member boomjinx.
I asked Connie Sim to cease his attacks, and in exchange, we will settle this matter.

Connie Sim told us we're way too far away to help our member, and he's not going to stop.

Needless to say, they now regret the day they decided to bully a low level player from THE MISC.
I made it clear to Jelmer that any member of Connie Sim's alliance is going to be our target, and he decided to leave the alliance. Fair and wise decision, why stay in a sinking ship full of bullies?

The surrender film was never requested by anyone for Jelmer. It was a joke aimed at Connie Sim, and since then, I have revoked any rights they have for a truce. It is time to teach them a lesson.
Soulburn, one of our many members who helped boomjinx recover, wiped Connie Sim and his alliance's army, a heroic act to save our member from getting bullied.

My question to you is, Do you even lift?

Please stay safe,

Neave,
THE MISC.

Hey Kiuguyg, tell us his name and I'll send some shadow warriors his way. I bet others would too! We love it when the hunter becomes the prey!

Yeah, what a great idea saying this here. Not like it takes away the whole idea of it being a shadow army.

ps: dont threaten my alliance member, you will get wrecked son

Bullying = calling someone insulting names or sending annoying messages (whether against the rules or not) or sabotage (when not trying to get the achievement)

Part of the game = multiple attacks, stolen outposts or resource villages and threats (non-real life e.g. "send me 1000 stone each day or I'll keep on attacking you")

This is a war game. 2 attacks in one day is nothing. Deal with it.

[1381262] old_man [None] :: Aug. 27, 2012, 2:02 p.m.
now, i never attack lower lvls the me, only if needed, or if it posts a threat. but i also think that you can t play this game like farmville. if you like only to build and you don t want to be attacked, buy your self protection, what can i say? i started by lvl 1 too, but you can t complain about it) i ve received 2 attacks, learned quickly to defend and started fighting back, higher lvls then me...so decide soon what kind of player you want to be? you want to call the shots or to be just a puppet, and by that i mean always attacked and never fights back,....again, there s farmville, my word no one will attack you there and you can build as much as you want))))))))

U guys r lucky u dont get attacked by d, I mean one guy. he attacks all ur outpost and castles at one time.

I was getting attacked a lot by this 1 alliance (Didn't help that I had naively climbed to 1052 honor XP). I had been attacked 10 or so times in 3 days, never asked what they were doing or whined about it on the forum. I was finally able to join an alliance that had a pact with them, and after 4 days I was back on my feet. You need to learn to be resourceful and diplomatic, if you can't do that like people thousands of years ago did, then I'm sorry but you should find another game to play.

A suggestion to those being attacked:

1) Avoid building soldiers at all. save up your gold, and keep building and leveling up. When your at a decent level and get in to the alliance you want, then use your gold to quickly rebuild your army.

Player Soulburner has attacked me twice in said time,when i confronted him/her about it i was told to give all the food resources i have or basically the attacks would continue.If this kind of bullying is the norm of this game and community then i want NO part of either.

How pathetic do you have to be to make a thread about getting attacked one time in your main and once in your outpost by a guy only 5 levels higher than you with access to all of the same troops, In case you forgot you initiated contact and whined to me and called me inappropriate names. I've attacked numerous people and never made any requests for tribute to them. You brought it upon yourself for acting like a child. I had no intentions of demanding tribute but since you cry and insulted me about getting attacked in a pvp based game I gave you the opportunity to send me some food (not all of it as you seem to remember) since you didnt need it anyways without an army. You're response was you preferred to have to rebuild your buildings and lose wood/stone in addition to the food I requested.

Bravemanager approached me in a diplomatic adult manner and it was resolved.

I argree with this guy, its a war game is it not. These stuff happen in real life.

If any of those names were indeed inappropriate - swearing or being racist, homophobic or displaying another offensive prejudice, please report the player.

Kiuguyg - if what Soulburn said is true, grow up. Being a baby is not something that many players in this game are impressed by (one exception being a certain member of Texas Rangers 2).

Bullying in GGS only happens if the offender attacks you several times a day, sabotages you, doesnt care of your messages and stuff, and keeps and keeps until you give up and quit empire

I once bullied a player for annoying me, but apologised him and compensated him 2 times the effort to repair and the resources plundered.

Now he is a duke and inside a big alliance

Attacking, no matter how many times, is NOT bullying. Sabotaging, however, is like breaking someone's nose for no reason and laughing - a waste of your effort, and causing them quite a bit of pain. Not replying to a message isn't bullying, but it is only something done by people who are cowards *cough*kursedAngel*cough*.

You apologised to a player when they were the one that annoyed you, AND gave them more resources then they had originally. Well, that is... unusual.

Do you ever go into a thread without advertising your anti-sabotage beliefs?
Sabotage is one of the best tools in the game to weaken your enemies.

Sabotage is a pretty effective tool and part of the game. In some cases, it can make the difference between victory and defeat...not bullying at all

[1381602] badgoodgod [None] :: Aug. 28, 2012, 2:40 a.m.
many people have expressed what they think is bullying but we also have to remember that this is a war game and in war perceptions get twisted even in real life war situations.

This is the guide lines I give to my alliance
1) if you attack someone you do it one to one and the person you have attacked has the right to attack you back whether or not you won.
2) A good player keeps enough defence in each castle to defend from atleast one attack at each castle
3) we do not at all attack a single player with co-ordinated attacks with multiple members.
4) once you have attacked someone move on to the next target but do not bite off more then you can chew

It is a game and games are suppose to be enjoyed by everyone and the large alliances need to remember that because once all the small alliances are gone and then the large alliances have a war many people will leave the game because they will feel hurt and unprotected by their alliance because they had been playing a safe game under the protection that the large alliances offer.

the game caters for 5 Pacts and 5 NAPs and anything over that is just people who seek to play the game with out being attacked. Many players in the large alliances would not know the first thing about defence and in fact I have made a few strikes at some larger alliances and found that the players i attacked did not have any defence at all but a huge offensive army just sitting in there castle and that makes a great battle giving you heaps of glory points for very little losses of your army But it is also these same people that attack others time and time again and if they even happen to reply to your request to stop they just abuse you and say I can do what I want because I am in a big alliance and you dare not attack me.

The point is that many of the bully alliances do not have that many strong players in them and if you are good at defence and know what you are doing in attack and know how to research you enemies weaknesses and you can take out the good players in the alliance then the rest of the alliance will crumble because they lack the courage without the strong ones giving them protection
