Topic: [306251] Whacker Attack

[-306251] Wedgy Whacker (AU1) [None] :: April 24, 2016, 2:23 a.m.
Background
The Seperartists (Seps) the most powerfull alliance on the Aus1 server is at war with The Basterds (TB) (Top 5 Alliance) I am a member of the Little Basterds (LB) training alliance of TB. LB have been attacked regularly by members of Seps up to 6 attacks a day. I dont have problem with Seps attacking TB as it is 2 Gladiators in a mighty battle. For players of any mayor alliance (including Seps and TB) to roam the map attacking members of small alliances who cannot defend themselves is bullying. If you complain the usual response is "its a war game mate". Well war is not always about battleship v battleship or huge army v huge army, these is also partisans, commandos, guerrilla warfare etc.

Attack
In retaliation for the attacks on my alliance, yesterday i launched 52 small attacks at different castles of the Seps, checking each castle first to ensure was not burning. They were designed to do maximum damage and also hopefully pick up some glory. won 2 lost 50 for a total of about 1500 glory. This was a spur of the moment decision without consultation with any other member of my alliance or TB. I believe this is the only way a  small alliance can hurt a large alliance.

Aftermath
Since the attack, I was as expected, hit with multiple sab attacks, mass attacks, attacks on burning castles and abusive MM. But in fairness to Seps the attacks have stopped, probably waiting for me to repair my castles, which if fair enough.

Conclusion
I will not be forced out of the game, and will retaliate against any attacks on me with whatever forces i have available, which probably wont be a lot. If this means leaving LB to protect them from attacks, so be it. You cannot win against a player who is prepared to absord all attacks and can build a small army very quickly.

Let me guess, you're the passive-aggressive clown shoe sending shadow merc tool cleaners? Potato.

So i invite comments from player from other servers.

If this player hit your alliance with 52 (there have been quite a few more from other members there) tool burning attacks, what would your response be.

Also noting, though we are warring we are not red. He raked castles which are attacked by their proper allaince, thus wasting crucial tools needed to defend against them.

What should he expect

Just for the record, I did not use shadow merc, they were all my own troops, using my strongest troops in the last wave.

I have never heard of you, but can tell you aren't the least bit clever.
I founded both TBs and LBs, and even though I now have no association with either alliance, it isn't nice to see what is happening
I had spent the past 24 hours in conversations with Seps trying to calm the waters between Seps and TBs, to see if there was a resolution, only for you to go and bombard them with mindless rakes?

lol You sent one troop per flank per wave, made up the difference for the bare minimum of 32 troops. Quit twistin what you were doing, at least keep it real. You cleaned peoples tools, and some Underterds came in for cheapo wins. While I don't think they had anything to do with what you did, cause I'm pretty sure jenny literally birthed a sheep over it, it still happened.


Also: Not waiting for you to rebuild per se, I'm waiting for you to have something else to light on fire. No sense wasting time setting your fires on fire. Once you do crap like you did, you're fair game, Ace. You, very brightly, tool cleaned the very people who usually make the bad people like me stop.

You made Nem mad, and they let her off her leash. lmao.

I feel sorry for you.

 I don't get you people !!!

  Most of the servers have fair-play rules.I will assume that the AU sv has rules about attacks and bullying.By doing multiple attacks you ignore these rules, so why do you bash him for returing the favour? Don't get me wrong, I couldn't care less if it's fair play or not, I am trying to expose some hypocrisy here.
  
 Yes! I would mind if someone would do that to me, but that's not the point.

"War, war never changes."

 
I believe this is the only way a  small alliance can hurt a large alliance.

   And about this...some players don't really give a fu*k about tools, In my ex alliance there were people who were giving tools away because they had the money to spare(stationing them in RV).Even worse, by doing multiple attacks you're just feeding their egos, giving them "reasons" to attack you. " I'll show you, you lil prick" logic (or something like this).

   I don't really know what thing you should do, maybe just keep doing your stuff and just focus on one member.Maybe sooner or later they'll get the message and leave you alone.


  and @Perryl (AU1) , I've seen some of your replies, I don't believe I saw something that wasn't at it's place.Very curiois in hearing your opinion about it, especially since you're from the AU sv.

Burning/raking tools is against so-called fair play rules. Although fair play rules generally only apply to people when it suits them. I'm personally against players making rules for the game, for the most part, and there are a few wars being fought on AU1 because of the hypocrisy you're talking about. That's part of what this thread is.
