Why is that a bigger problem than large families still operating under the assumption that they can farm small families without repercussions?

you can keep it up with ops 2-3 more days and after you will start to disband

Why would me being a moderator impact this at all? This attitude is why many moderators end up going inactive. I'm not doing anything illegal, I'm not even tip toeing any grey areas.

I did not make ANY complaints about the ops...in here or to the lowlife player I am attacking.

I am disputing his actions of posting information in the public forum as military intelligence for ALL others to  use.....its beyond any tactics, its simply a spiteful cry out that he cant win, hes not good enuf, and clearly with a petty much empty family, he doesn't play well with others.

I like pie...get a life....I have never shied away from any kind of galaxy....I have played as an attacker all my playing days....have kicked your butt and most of everyone elses in the game at some point....as I have had mine kicked.....FAIRLY.  To say I may need a softer galaxy is simply an insulting remark for you to make....what I need is a fair galay...where rules and unwritten rules that have been followed for years are respected.

and with collusion by game ownership with his buddies in game.....you may keep your buddy playing...but there will be no part of the game I will have anything to do with as long as I know that this kind of behaviour is supported.

pick away at all the techicalties you want as to if he has the right to post cords etc....but its wrong....most players know it....they don't do it.....its a respect thing for each other who all spend tons of time playing......a lack of respect will just turn into a lack of players.

we did everything right this round.....no drafts, nevrer a full family, no ia's, and we still succeeded.....much to everyone elses surprise......just unfortunate that some cant deal with it.

I'm developing for IC.  It's a bit too late for that. =P

The "softer galaxy" thing isn't intended as an insult, but it is true.  You may have done well as an attacker over the years but it's been in an objectively easier game than what IA allows.

IA is different, it's a new challenge, and it is more difficult because the safety nets players are used to don't exist.  If you don't prefer it that's fine, but it doesn't mean that things are unfair.  Everybody can do this, nobody has a special advantage.

IA is plenty fair.  What it isn't, is easy.  Some vets will embrace the challenge, and others will complain because it takes them out of their comfort zone.  Whether or not you're able to stay competitive will depend on your ability to adapt.

There is no "collusion" with game ownership/buddies here.  Everybody is welcome to do this in IA galaxies.

IA was allowed this round.  If you chose not to do so in an IA galaxy, that is totally fine.  However, that gives you no morale high ground over other players.

They're clearly dealing with it just fine.  On the contrary, you are the one saying you are going to quit.

Again it's not intended as an insult, but if you're only willing to play in a galaxy where "this kind of behaviour" isn't supported then by definition that means you need a galaxy that is less difficult.

You've been attacking for awhile and are indeed quite skilled at it.  Are you willing to channel your former self and adapt to new strategic challenges?

That's up to you.

No I think you're wrong undeath that falls under the communication rule

Do not distribute or discuss personal or private information about other players without their consent. This includes real life information as well as private information about other players' empires, with the exception of sharing information within your own family (team).

Which you clearly broke, and should have known better. 
Time to ban yourself.

Do not post on the site or in that chat to make accusations of rule breaking or to discuss blocks. Issues and questions regarding rule breaking and blocks should be discussed privately by sending an email to [email protected].

Can you tell me he is "cheating"

Can't help but notice the developer saying that those rules aren't applicable in IA rounds.
