Dislike the initiative.

It's a response, not an initiative. The rest of my family is inactive, and my only defense is ops. Keeping the banker under OH for a few days hasn't been a big enough turnoff.

It's always amusing to me when I'm in this situation. Players in the larger attacking family seem to think I'm in the wrong for reacting to attacks with ops, but I'm not sure what else you expect when you hit the biggest partax in the galaxy

Playing as a full out opper isn't a tactic? You're complaining about it right here I have no family to back me up, and partax is poor in a straight fight without droids. You obviously chose me as a target after seeing that I was playing SS as a non-attacking race in a family that can't defend from attacks. Other families have done it, but to be at the top of the ranks and do it is simple farming and I've always done what I can to make families pay for it. I don't have an attacker to send these coords to, but it's no longer against the rules to post them here.

Gooo Nick!

Completely fair when the top (or second) fam hit a bottom rank single player fam. (Completely fair in current rules however it played out)

He could instead be here moaning about farming, but he has turned the tables within the rules of an IA gal. Calling the whole gal to be his allies in helping. Smart move man.

/Starts slow clap

That's an option! I only take actions like this in retaliation though, particularly when it's a situation like this when it's a top fam more concerned with their planet count than the game as a whole. The farming of small families and new players is a big part of what has killed this game. There are a few vets around that play ftw at any cost, and as a result new players are pushed away. It's not fun to get beat up by someone 3+times your size when you join a new game. Other games have systems in place that allow new players a learning curve, IC doesn't have that.

I have 0 shot at winning this round, and never had a shot at competing simply because I'm only one player. That shouldn't mean I become an easy target for players looking to win, and if they decide I'm that kind of target I'll do what I can to punish them.

Undeath in few days you will be at 20 planets left, this was your last action to post cord in forum after you tryed all the Pax spells!!!

I wouldn't say it's playing dirty. He's the only player in his "family" and he's a paxie. What else is he supposed to do? A player in a normal situation would have attackers to follow up the cpffs. He doesn't have an attacker so he's fine with other fams getting the planets as long as it disincentivizes him being attacked.

I would hope he stops if they stop attacking him but I keep occasionally seeing him losing planets here and there in the news bar.

See? Opping is playing dirty. It's ok to attack someone a fraction of your size for easy planets, it's not ok for that person to op and ask for help. This attitude? This attitude is a problem.

Duh? Again, you're attacking a Pax with no support.
