there is no honor anymore un this game. we are at war, 1615 vs 1617 (im from 1615) but 03 and 09 are joining in, taking planets from us. and its not just planet grabs or core cleaning, their taking a whole system! now how can we concentrate on 17 then? will this constitute as illegal alliance or what?

im sorry that its like that on your end, but 'clearing cores' includes systems we have in our cores list.  We are not 'joining in' any war, we are expanding and such, and im sorry it seems as if youve been teamed up on.

As many of you know (although not all) I am in Load's family.  I don't have a problem with a few explo grabs here and there.  Esp if it is a new player just needing to get a few planets (one of their family members whom I trust and like immensely told me this was the case).  But when it becomes persistent that is an issue.  1610 was down over 300 planets at time of NAP.. yet we were up not even half of that.. us and our allies together were up only about 200 (just a hair shy).. where did those other 100 planets go??

A few is fine.. but triple digits is a bit absurd..  ESPECIALLY if you have a NAP an no that you will never be attacked there b/c all the other families are napped with you.. and if we were to accidentally attack you, you would ask for compensation.

Edit to change who to whom..

i am starting one now this war is kind of over

OK let me settle this argument about why I am kinda mad about it...

First thin is I ask Ricking not to expo anything in the fight with 10 My fam was blowing....he said fine where...I said top right of s1 he said ok...

So I thought maybe some people can think outside the box and not expo 2 ticks from 10's HS...Why was there free planets there anyways..maybe someone else hard work?

  Why, If after I ask and you tell me "I don't want my fam gaining from your war"  would you let them expo anyways.????

ummm how bout you explo them first? hmm? seems logical enough to me... if you have the audacity to blow planets you cant explo quickly... why blow them up instead of having a smaller attacker take them? hmmmm.... basic knowlege? so stop whining and use your head like the rest of us mate... cheers.

farming and nw? are you as stupid at your name suggests? nw is because these guys are working together really well and have a real good econ. planets are because of taking off many different families. farming? no.

03 has decided to hit 10 right after war.
but we still have some fight left in us

1603 is growing in planets cause they are exploring all planets destroyed in the war. and its a lot of the planets.

So the data shld be interpreted as 1603 has out-econ 1601, not that they are farming alot. oic.

how exactly does farming for PLANETS = a good economy. think that one through.

my bad, sorry read it wrong.

If you took a breather for a minute and used your brain you would see that Idiotic actually agreed with Flashy and withdrew his statement about 1603 farming.  However I can see how someone of small brain capacity would not be able to decipher Idiotics cryptic style of writing.

Truth is, whether or not it is seen as honourable to explore blown up planets, 1603 made use of a loophole in their NAP - something that my family (1612) also could have done but decided it would be dishonourable.  It's a judgement call.

And please, everyone saying in the uni news that honour was gone from this game a long time ago is very ignorant.  Honour cannot just disappear, and I have seen many cases of good honour in this round, it just depends who you are dealing with.  The people who say honour is gone from the game are obviously the people who do not play with honour, and hence they think it's okay that loopholes are exploited at every opportunity.

I play this game for fun, to speak to people and to enjoy working as a team with friends.  I understand that other people play this game to win but there is no reason why they should not follow basic principals of right or wrong.

@ Commy - "its kinda like when a criminal gets off cause there was an illegal search...do you blame the criminal for using the loophole or system for having the loop hole ?"

- of course you would blame the criminal, for they are a criminal, are you comparing your family to a criminal?  A system like the law is a system created and edited by humans, it is not steadfast and created by gods of infinite wisdom, it will always have loopholes, but any criminal always deserves to be punished.
