Are you tired of being attacked by one of those players from KoN, Dream Team, The Misc, Grumpy Kings. You know the guys that singled handedly all together defeated HIVE (no one really knows which one single handedly defeated HIVE they all step forward to say modest and humble). Well if they are attacking you it's your own fault! Do you know how much food it takes to feed those massive Kings Guards armies they maintain? Think about the honor required to maintain those awesome titles like Conqueror, Terrible. They need our help boys and girls. Every alliance should be down on their knees thanking them every day and sending food, they need your food for those troops. What's that you say, why don't they attack each other in the game because they are (after all) on the same level? Tsk, Tsk, You know they defeated the tryant HIVE in glorious battle, you should be proud to see them marching away from your burning castles and OP's. But they shouldn't steal your RV's you say? My, my, what to I have to do to make you all understand, they need food and honor and we have to give it to them they are (after all) rewarded by GGS for their masterful playing of the game with voracious attack and defense troops. Stop whining and complaining and line up those market burrows full of food for all the Lords and Ladies of the Super alliances! This message brought to you through the independent player Luchien. I am not (and never will be) a part of one of the super alliances. They won't have me! LOL

Huh? who's side are you on? r u being sarcastic?
Personally i think that any should attack anyone, and that it is only bullying if the do not need anything they get from the attack. I have not really got bullied by anyone apart from bloody sparter warrior, and he is in a small alliance. I used to be in a very big alliance that usually got 16th in alliance competitions, but i left to join an alliance my best friend made, so i'm fine with not being in a big alliance.
For those who are, to want to destroy other alliances is not mean, it is a war game and naturally everyone should want to be strong. In war people want to be the most powerful and victorious, so it seems fine if they constantly attack (although i do not attack lower levels, and i am lvl 22 with 969 honor).

Of course I am serious. Just today I sent food to every member of Dream Team and am really enjoying putting out all the fires they started.

I posted a similar parody to this one in praise suggestions and criticisms of the game. in that thread there was a comment it appears to be a rant. To anyone thinking that was my intent in the post I can only assure you it was not. It was intended to be taken as humorous and tongue in cheek and to bring the issue of the current imbalance of power on the server into a sharper focus. It was/in not my intent to do harm to any person or alliance. It is not factual but rather poking fun at the very powerful alliances now in control of the server. Those alliances are all friendly with each other and all had issues with the HIVE alliance that resulted in a server war. With all of the alliances that hold capitols, metropolis's, landmarks etc. friendly with each other they have no one to fight. They look for any player that is at a high enough level to attack. It is true they have (comparatively) massive armies that require a tremendous amount of food. The irony in this situation is those very alliances accused HIVE of being tyrannical and they have now become the tyrants on the server. The problem is they are an army looking for an opponent, unfortunately (for all concerned) there is no opponent strong enough to stand against them resulting in no opportunity for a fair fight. Kings Guard troops are too strong and 90/90 commanders make defense a virtual impossibility. They say "we do lose battles" but that is the exception not the rule. They do make mistakes in defense and some members do lose on defense but again that is the exception not the rule. As long as those alliances are friendly and refuse to organize friendly combat with each other imbalance of power on the server will remain and the very powerful will continue to justify their behavior as justified because they are only hitting "pixels". Ironically they (humanly) don't accept criticism of their actions and when you criticize the very powerful? Well visit my account and take a look, don't bring a sweater because it's quite warm and cozy. If I have offended is should apologize but I am won't. I am not singling out any individual in these posts, if what I have said makes you uncomfortable perhaps it was/is your actions and behavior that is the spring of discomfort and my words, thoughts just a catalyst.

FROM GGE AIR FREE RADIO:
The war against a single player justifiably forced out of his alliance by one of our Super Alliance Friends continues. As his castle burns he defiantly refuses to join a Super Alliance sub which have so magnanimously been arranged and offered by our hero the leader of the Super Alliance that single handedly (with the other super alliances that single handedly) took down the tyrant HIVE. In other news there is no war against the former alliance of this bullying individual that is trying to intimidate the poor Super Alliance please disregard in false reports about that alliance continuing to be attacked. Our benevolent Super Alliance is merely collecting it's food tributes this alliance refuses to share. This is not surprising knowing they harbored such a criminal and are probably giving him aid and comfort instead of supporting their benevolent dictator.
more to come.

Interesting views to say the least, I love the how the reaction to being called bullies is that they're playing within the rules. The general definition of bullying is using superior force or strength to intimidate, manipulate, or harm another individual. You can easily bully someone and do it within the rules of the game, and to say that players in small and medium alliances can defend themselves is ridiculous. Hypothetically, yes, they have the advantage, but realistically, anybody who spends enough money to run with the big boys isn't in an alliance that small. Plain and simple, they make the game extremely difficult for players who don't align themselves with the super powers.

This is a very confusing thread. Lucien is annoying us with emails, which is why he continues to find himself a target. For the record, we do not want his food or anything else.
If he understood the game, he would know that high-end players do not depend on food looted from anyone to maintain armies. I easily keep 20,000 attackers simply by looting RBCs. If we attack someone outside of a war, it is generally because 1) they are a pest 2) there is a nobility challenge or 3) for one of the glory tournaments.
If you can't stand the heat on your own, join an alliance and contribute to common defense. Alternatively, find a game where you can farm and not be concerned about the strategic and battle aspects of playing a war game. This is such an old argument, and the canards from 2 years ago somehow keep gaining currency.
Finally, it is the people buying rubies that sustain the game. All the resource freeloaders have absolutely no reason to complain; the only reason why GGE is still up and running is because a small minority of players purchase large numbers of rubies. That they then want to leverage the power that comes from that investment is not only not surprising, but entirely justified. Get over yourself.

Thanks Tanner, love the video I would say it's very appropriate. It is interesting to note I have been recently attacked for actually sending food to one of the Super Alliances. There seems to be a doubled standard on the one hand bullying is justified because "it's only pixels and within the parameters of the game" but a great deal of effort is taken to send propaganda disputing the behavior and justify the bullies actions. I came across a site the details part of the bullies behavior is to also blame their victims as discussed in the thread "Does GGS permit bullying".

When has focusing on a minority of clients ever worked for any business? They should be providing updates to the game that make it better for everyone instead of trying to squeeze more rubies out of their larger spenders with each update. There are tons of players who buy rubies (myself included) without dropping tons of cash because they wish to improve things here and there instead of putting hundreds of dollars into an online flash game that gets more and more expensive to play. Its very naïve to think that a few large alliances provide the game with most of its money when they have multiple other games as well as many other players who buy rubies, not to mention the other servers.
