inter-clan farming

http://www.eestats.com/alliance/country/340

umm ICN is hardly the first clan to do it...another clan has been doing it all reset...

ICN uses tyr retalers that retal then let their betters get the land off of them so nothing to see here move along folks

Piece of fluff iPhone changing my abbreviation

I refer you to the tag RD for actual intra tag farming.

ICN has done that for a while, even back when I played for them years ago

I seem to remember LaF doing that a long time ago - called it their guardian strat if I recall correctly. Viper's bright idea.

heh... we didn't run the guardian idea ever since the only reset we tried it because we pissed so many people off that reset... :P

I suppose the issue would solve itself if people would quit hitting #340...

Just a thought.

Ive never seen this before!

I've stopped caring about inter-clan farming long ago... just be happy they arn't farming clanless countries and making people leave the game... I think its a lesser of the two evils...

it's not necessarily farming.. he was retalling a retaller who took a retal for him.. He's not gaining anything other than original lost land minus the ghost acres.

i'm not sure it's the lesser of two evils. not talking about getting your land back from a retaller, but inter-clan farming to generate land via ghost acres is a downright abuse of ghost acres. sooner or later, all clans will have to do it to keep up...and i think that will lead to the demise of ghost acres, if not the game. i think that's way worse than farming suiciders and untagged vets with grudges (let's face it, none of those untags are noobs).

I don't know why this is acceptable to anyone while RD gets blasted for inter alliance farming. Nor do I understand why ICN wouldn't farm one another. This is the exact same thing.

With the new landgrabbing formulas and building generation it is well enough for people to do their own retals.

Also, the tyr hits take more empty acres but dict hits gain more total acres when you include buildings. It makes no sense to retal with tyr if you want to gain the most acres. Retalling with tyr just cheeses people off while retalling with dict is beneficial to all.

But why not just farm within your alliance? You do it openly now.

Its simply for retals oats. There is a difference.

in terms of total acres, tyranny still always gets more than dict. you just get a higher proportion of built acres as a dict...

i think its BS i to see it as abuse of ghost acres, if you want hit some one in your clan BOOT them! as for you doing this to get your land back if you cant retal your retal then you dont deserve to have that land! so shut up and guit cheating

blah blah blah alliance-based server blah blah tag protection yadda yadda yadda...

just look untaggeds/few ppls tags news and you see that they get farmed.

It is the grabber's purpose to find a target that either can't retaliate or can't get as much land back as the grabber took. For that reason, if the grabber is doing his/her job, C:C retaliation would not act to dissuade future grabbing. On the other hand, a retaliation done by a country specifically built to retaliate should make it not worthwhile for that grabber to attack that alliance again. Isn't that why we play with tag protection, as NukEvil points out?

Or was that sarcasm, Nuk? Serious question, I really couldn't tell.

best landgains are gotten if attacker and defender are near eachothers on nw, if defender wants to do retal by his/her own he/she needs to buy alot jets which means that his/her nw jumps much bigger than attacker's nw so defender won't get his/her land back, if retaller takes land back then orig. attacker gains ghosts and retaller gains ghosts after he/she has donated land back to orig. defender.

WHO GIVEs A RAT SSA

we are getting off track here, i agree with other counrys taking retals for people, i build retal countrys my self. the point is doing to to get your land back, if you cant hold your land you dont deserve it

there's always some1 who has enuf jets to take your land no matter how good def you have, what stops most players not to grabbing you won't stop 1 of those others to grab you.

RoCK was looking for an excuse to hit you guys. No matter what you tried that reset, it would have pissed them off ; p
