You're missing the point.  66 is doing what they can with limited resources.  Given their size and your size, your performance is embarrassing.  If I was another larger family I would be eyeing you guys because apparently you define yourselves by your ability to take out families who can't afford to fight back.

You are showing everybody that you can do great when the fight is easy, and in fact take pride in it.  It makes me wonder, why are you so proud of this accomplishment?  Is this the best you can do?

Perhaps I just should let you bask in the "glory" of an easy win.  You were saying something about trophies?

If I wanted to show my "much larger cash and resources" I would merely build 2x the fleet of him and crush him like the can he is. But no, I am much more tactical than that. I am willing the play the long game to get the achieved result.

but,  "your much larger cash and resources" shows every time you instantly rebuild lost fleet or even build fleet you are planning on loosing, while they have to wait for resources before they can rebuild.

In a prolonged war, it's not an issue of how much fleet you built, but how fast you can replace it.

I haven't hardly built any fleet up until today for this entire war. So your statements Valcona are false.

@Pie, all I have seen from 66 is lack of drive for anything but retakes. All I have done is take my sweet time tearing them apart. Why? Because they literally are nothing...So I spend my time checking for real wolves at my gate while I pick them apart.

Its not about basking in the "glory" of this victory, it is about proving that their little stunt did nothing FOR them. It in fact made it worse.

Haha I'm glad you think so. But trust me, your opinion of me means little in the overall scheme of things.

And you are right, not everyone cares about the same things that I do, only the contenders do. The rest are just cattle who make the choice to act like cattle or pretend they aren't until they are slaughtered reminding them that they definitely are.

66 is cattle, rather easy cattle actually. I have had tougher fights from small fams than them.

Your fam is likely cattle as well...Just depends on which rancher gets to ya first.

And as for meaningful challenges, don't speak out your ass alright? Everyone knows well enough that I always gun for big fams. I just try to time it properly so that I raise my chances of winning. Its called BEING SMART...something clearly 66 nor your fam has any idea about.

From what I gather, dfsf, people are enjoying this. So why should we stop?

"not everyone cares about the same things that I do, only the contenders do."

Contenders for what, exactly?

Like I said before, your family is well coordinated and active so you deserve you rank.  That doesn't mean you know how to fight a battle.  This game has devolved from what it used to be.  Now all you need is activity and basic coordination to be a "contendor".  Congrats on being able to log on frequently with a family of other people who are able to log on frequently.

This is why rank means less now than it ever did.  You aren't skilled at war, you are active within an active family.  There is a big difference that is apparently beyond your capabilities to grasp.

"don't speak out your ass alright? Everyone knows well enough that I always gun for big fams"

I'm simply observing somebody with an inferiority complex boasting about their ability to do something that isn't worthy of the word "skill".

"Its called BEING SMART...something clearly 66 nor your fam has any idea about."

Yet again... I feel like a broken record here.  66 and my family have different goals than yours so while you think we are not "BEING SMART" we are actually playing the game as we intend, which is to not give in to bullies such as yourself.

If you want to talk about intelligence let's talk about how many times I've had to explain this to you.  I can draw a diagram if it helps but really it shouldn't be necessary.

Just because its what you want does not make it smart. It CAN make it dumb! Just because you think something is right clearly does not make it so...and the facts are in what is happening right now. I have numbers on my side, where all you have are ideas.

Just because you can't see the skill in how i systematically tore 66 apart does not mean there isn't any first off. But 66 aside, my skill is so far beyond that its pitiful. It has nothing to do with activity because our family was one of the more inactive families all round long. We have battled with getting players in to this fam for quite a while! Hell our first week we literally had 1 banker!!! So don't give me that shit. We are where we are due to skill and nothing else.

People dont come gunning for my fam either unless they see they have a much larger eco than us due to the fact they feel their odds of winning are low if they don't. And I applaud you for having the nuts to stand up and claim you do...but if we clash the end result is going to be you getting smashed and looking to avoid me just like everyone else.

I am what IC attacking is...am I the only one? No, but I am the elite class. Some day you may actually join us...unlikely though.

wow im surprised u can see wat ur typing with ur head so far up ur ass hydrop

According to the Newton dictionary the longest word in the world is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocon

lol u guys are funny.. at the end of the day when we first began this war we were damn near even now u complain that we are farming them.. not our fault they didnt wanna fight back. u blame ur ally for that not us.. we've offered NAP they refuse and wanna cont fighting.. not our fault.. we did all that we could do to end the war and if altec is a reflection of old attacking for the foohons of mw im embrassed i use to consider u guys elite cause he is a embrassment of attacking.. 2-3 days he set with fleet larger then hydro and never cleared him..  dont make us look like jokes when ur allies leader is a complete fool for not clearing shares breaking portals or considering nap to save his fam.. blame urself for not helping blame egos.. dont blame us

In other news, 72's allies (81) are as unimpressive as they are:

The results of this threat?  See below:

    Week 47, 6        Our family member Gandalf the Foohon managed to defend planet 2 in the 61,8 system against an attack by forces from Fife Fancy, family 7881.
    Week 47, 6        After a brave fight our family member Gandalf the Foohon had to flee the planet planet 15 in the 34,29 system which was attacked by Fife Fancy of family 7881.
    Week 44, 6        Our family member Gandalf the Foohon managed to defend planet 2 in the 61,8 system against an attack by forces from Fife Fancy, family 7881.
  Week 43, 6         mages have placed a force field around the Gandalf the Foohon portal on 34,29:15! The field is expected to last for 10 weeks.
    Week 43, 6         mages have placed a force field around the Gandalf the Foohon portal on 48,49:11! The field is expected to last for 10 weeks.
    Week 43, 6         mages have placed a force field around the Gandalf the Foohon portal on 51,53:9! The field is expected to last for 10 weeks.
    Week 39, 6        Our family member Gandalf the Foohon managed to defend planet 19 in the 83,15 system against an attack by forces from Fife Fancy, family 7881.
    Week 39, 6         mages have placed a force field around the Gandalf The Green portal on 32,61:10! The field is expected to last for 10 weeks.
    Week 39, 6        A sneak attack by Fife Fancy agents caught Gandalf the Foohon Soldier on 83,15:19 off guard, but no one was harmed.
    Week 39, 6        A sneak attack by Fife Fancy agents caught Gandalf the Foohon Laser on 83,15:19 off guard, but no one was harmed.
   
7881, being 2.9 times our size as well as 2.9 times our NW... finally takes a planet from me.

But they are now opping us successfully, so kudos for that I guess.  And there's more to come:

[9:17 AM] <HydroP> if Colo says he wars you
[9:17 AM] <HydroP> we war you too
[9:17 AM] <pie|bbl> 2 v 1?
[9:17 AM] <HydroP> yep
[9:17 AM] <Stan> we have to
[9:17 AM] <pie|bbl> guess i shouldn't be surprised =P
[9:17 AM] <HydroP> its called being an ally
[9:17 AM] <Stan> its our allies
[9:17 AM] <HydroP> i dont care how lop-sided it is

Apparently 72 feels 81 needs their backup.  Given both fam's performance against an alliance a third of their size, I suppose this makes sense.
