@Metrex: do i look like my ally? Ive never done this to anyone. Ive always condemnded this cheap ass move. So do me a favor and keep your trap shut. K thanks.

So.... 4417 finally executed "Operation:Cheap Bullshit" and it worked....naturally. It almost always works cuz its cheap.

Im not upset with 16/17 for doing this. The sad truth is EVERYONE IS DOING THIS NOW. Its the preferred way to attack these days. People have lost their skills in a straight up honest war. 16/17 is just doing what everyone else is too. The main culprit here is the individual 35% NW attack limit. It needs to go and it needs to go ASAP!!

The 35% limit rule was originally created to protect a small empire from a large one. Now it serves but one purpose: to let an attacker invade a core with ease. This rule was never intended to be abused in this manner. In other words, this rule is nothing more than a bullshit loophole thats being exploited round aftter round. Its ruining the strategy and skill of the game.

The 35% nw family limit works just fine and should be the only limit. THis way a family thats roughly equal in size cannot "core" another family with ease. Now a small family can put a someone in a bigger family's core, but thats just fine. If they have the balls to try to attack a bigger family, i say more power to them. They need an advantage.

This tactic of "coring" a family of equal size needs to stop. It takes NO skill, very little effort and is NOT anything even resembling strategy. Its a cheap abuse of a loophole. Its totally violating the spirit of the game and how the rule was intended.

well from our side we are not gonna 'core' anyone...

16/17 are just using a lame ass tactic which actually was pretty much non existant last round as we actually had proper cancellation wars like in the old days...

i guess its boils down to the leaders of 16/17 who condoned such a lame ass move...

suhvoshel: idk who you are but your talking out your ass again. Learn whats going on, get informed THEN come in here and post something that actually ADDS to this conversation.

Player Re: War declared 4416 vs 4407just for the record 07 used einstein in the same move in  4401 core when we where warring 09.

lol Don't lie.  All of my portals were in my allies systems near your fam

yes you are right AA

I didnt expect to hear something else from you.

Enjoy!

only facts:
1. einsten was 6 ticks from 4401 hs.
2. he was 2 small for our 2 attackers 2 clear.
3. he lasered and built a portal there.
4. same tick portal was done he jumped and started attacking our bankers.

to me that sounds like same tactic.
but then again maybe im talking out of my ass again. interesting considering thats my first post in this thread.

and by the way i cant post it without your concent but i have the infil record to prove it

all I hear is AA whining

omg how do people like you ever become mod in these games.

thats becuz you are only an assisting mod hahahaha

AA,

As long as you're not capable of bringing your point across without stooping down to name-calling, repeating yourself over and over, and plainly just throwing a tantrum in your last post; the last thing you should do is announce intellectual superiority. You aren't proving your point, if anything, you just undermine yourself

P.S. to clarify, I do not believe nukes are a low move. As I said, war = war. What I meant was that it is considered a low move by many in this game, in my experience at least.
