Topic: OPs in MW

I just gotta ask ---

When i last played it was considered that OPs were only used in time of Wars, or when OP'ed upon, any other use was extremely dishonorable, and risked OP wars, which ruined everyone's round.

So i find it curious that since I've returned in MW this round i have been opped weekly without reason or provocation --

So i'm curious, do people OP now when they can't take your planets? Or out of frustration of one of your attackers clearing them?

Personally i think 2-Estorms, 2 Hypnos, and 2 nuke attempts in less then 3 ticks is kinda superfluous when no one provoked it.

So, tell me UN - How are OPs viewed now? Can i start nuking people just to do it? That would be pretty awesome.

who are you?

Re: OPs in MW

I actually agree with you Imperial, Deadly ops used to be frowned upon, even in war times.

now, u get ops for no reason at all, it just show lack of skill within the community.
i never use deadly ops, not unless i get them casted on me, even then i think long and hard about it.

Re: OPs in MW

since when are ops considered dishonorable? This is a war game and its totally within any empire's right to op whoever they want when they want. its part of the game. Recently a family hit me for 10 planets and i bitchslapped their bankers with Octarine Hurricanes for half a day. Why? CUZ I CAN!! You attack me, your bankers pay the price. Simple as that.

Now....is it wise to just fling ops at random for no reason? Prolly not. However this is a discussion for a different thread.

Point is.....BUILD WIZARDS AND AGENTS! Defend yourself properly. Ops are part of this game. So next time you decide to take a few planets off someone you should use some foresight and think ahead to the consequences. Fleets arent the only way to make a statement.

Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!!

You dont use deadly ops yourself and your saying those that do have no skill? ROFL!! Do you realize how ignorant that statement is?

Your basicly saying your not taking advantage of every possible way to damage a family. When you Hurricane or kill population on a banker you are cutting off their source of income. NOT doing this cuz of your so called 'honor' is just plain retarded.
You show YOURE lack of skill by NOT doing this.

LMAO! you morons can stick to your dumb ass honor code. If you dont want to take advantage of an aspect of the game that is critical, then be my guests.  Ill use my ops and ruin your bankers EVERYTIME without hesitation.

Re: OPs in MW

id rather lose with honner then win by cheating

but then ops generaly used against bigger familys as they give smaller ones a good chance to fight back

A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.

Re: OPs in MW

using ops isnt cheating!! LOL its part of the game. If Stefan didnt want us using them he wouldnt of programmed them into the game.

Using every weapon in your aresnal isnt dishonorable. Its smart. Whats the point of a Partaxian having a 70% magic bonus if not to cast spells? Why does a Quantam have every agent op? See my point? Your not playing the game to your full potential if your not using your family's operations.

I stopped reading after this post, no reason to read the rest of your posts - as you made is clear where you stand.


"since when are ops considered dishonorable?" Well, I've been playing IC for 7 years off and on (Since 2003), and until now, EVERYONE considered OPS dishonorable - Unless you were engaged in a declared, and recognized war -- Why? Simple, in an OP war no one wins -- You lose 10 planets to someone, then OH their bankers? Well, what do you think they do next? They OH or Nuke your bankers, now your bank just like 60% of his infra -- Why? because you didn't like that fact you lost a measly 10 planets? Really? Whats a greater loss 10 planets or 60% infra? As 31 learned you OP me, and i promise you someone in your family is going to be hurting.

So while your busy OPing each other to death, another family passes you by, and steals the win - Ops solves nothing, and only hurts everyone.

Re: OPs in MW

yes. thank you for proving my point, Imperial.

Ops are part of the strategy. You cant be really be that dumb, can you? Of course they might op you back. DURRRR! its part of the game.

Ops solve nothing and hurts everyone? *facepalms* apparently im dealing with someone who knows nothing of gaming and strategy. Go play World of Warcraft or something. I cant have this debate with you. Youre just not smart.

Is your verbose attempt to discredit me suppose to mean something?

Your correct as to the premise that you can't debate this with me, as in the words of my old prof "You don't have a dog in this fight".

You clearly don't know anything about the dynamics of this game, which is made very clearly by your verbose pontifications.

"Youre just not smart." Not only is this improper English, but is also what we in the industry call a subjective, unquantifiable assumption, something only ignorant people who -think- they are aware of the subject matter being discussed do (Which you, Jr.).

Now to attack the main, and quite ill-predicated point of your reply :

"Ops solve nothing and hurts everyone? *facepalms* apparently im dealing with someone who knows nothing of gaming and strategy."

Clearly you don't know anything about this game -- Deadly OPs is a line in the sand, you cross it and you open the playing field up to the kamikaze dynamic - In thus, if 2 families expend all their time, and energy OPing each other to death, they will find their rank stunted, and be surpassed by a family that is not engaged in an OP War --  As winning is the goal of the game, why would you throw a pissy fit, and start an OP war over non-factor losses? Wait, have you ever finished the game in a top 3 fam? Top 5 P.Rank? Curious, because you clearly are a bad player, and you lost this debate - Although, in your sad attempt to reclaim some dignity you will attempt to rebut what i said with more pontification, and if that helps you sleep at night knowing that you are in-fact a huge failure, then by all means, knock yourself out, slugger. wink

(P.S. if you couldn't understand the big words i used, i hear google has a mean dictionary, use it.).

Re: OPs in MW

Actually i owe you an apology, Imperial. Last night i was stressed out to the max. I got my daughter and my brother's 3 kids over and they are driving me insane. They are stayin for the better part of a week.

Anyhoo....all i was really saying is: you should use every advantage you got in this game. Stefan programmed ops into this game to be used. Its part of the game. Thats all....however....WHEN to use and WHY to use them is a whole different matter and i do agree with you for the most part.

When i lost those 10 planets all at once i took that as an act of war. Thats why i unloaded with ops in retaliation. My favorite race to play is Partaxian and if using my spells is considered 'dishonorable' then what the hell am i supposed to do?? LOL
