You weren’t killed by mods. You were killed by community members. Literally the only thing a mod did was say your original username.


Have you noticed the drop down menu, there buddy?

Take a good look and get back to me.

It says: "More Handles" > "New Handle" That would be "More Handles" with an "s" signifying plural. Show me where it says that you can only have one handle. You've got an over-zealous mod who doesn't even know the code, firing off at will, at a player that the mod clearly does not like, as evidence by numerous disparaging posts and outing that player for playing that game and participating in the forums according to how they were constructed.

We shouldn't be mad at you cos you didn't break any rules, but if big tags did whatever they wanted within the rules they would get abused by all those they hit and kill.

You attacked a tag that avoid all this kind of crap, we don't make rules, we just follow along with the server, yet every time people like you want to make a point we get targeted.

That's what we are annoyed about, in the last 14 netting sets we have had I don't recall more then 1 set where someone hasn't come along to make a point about the server.

Like I said we didn't care about the grabs , the missiles were the issue, we can agree to disagree on the term used for your actions, doesn't change the fact it was a fluff move against a tag that never touched you



It doesn't bother me if you're mad - that's between you and your own intellect. Regarding your incessant and ridiculous assertion that I was a big, bad SUICIDER..... did any of you check the news? Did you happen to see the attack progression? The attack strategy went like this: EMs - PS - NM.

1. Would any of you brainiacs care to venture a guess why?

2. Did I think that I would suffer retribution from Drinks. Yes. From The Monsters as a Clan? Yes. How much from both if any? That remained to be seen. I might have lasted a few days and it would have been a fun battle.

3. Did I monitor The Monsters at any point in the set to know or see whether or not they were netting or warring? No. Why would I have? So to accuse me of intentionally ruining a set is intense stupidity. Like I said at the outset... "It's a witch, burn her!"

4. Did I think that another clan was going to come in out of left field and kill me? It didn't cross my mind. Did it bother me? No. It's a wargame. I, did however find it interesting that another clan took it upon itself to provide apron strings.

5. Is it ok for a player in this game to play the game according to his or her own strategy?

North Korea decides that it wants to prove a point. Being a small country, run by a small man with small, uh hands, they launch a Nuclear missile (or 26) at little old Japan who is doing nothing militarily since WW 2. Japan happens to be "netting" the last 70+ years and doing quite well as evidenced by their economy and without getting involved in others beefs. Now the rest of the World sees what N Korea did and takes action by wiping N Korea from the face of the planet.

So by Death Cabs logic, N Korea is the victim in the situation because there were no written rules stating N Korea couldn't use all means to improve the state of their country. It's not like leaders around the World have worked together to prevent such a scenario for the last 70+ years. Ask Saddam Hussein how it worked out for him when he invaded a little country called Kuwait. I remember a coalition of about 35 countries coming together to tell him that wasn't going to be allowed.

So, Kim Jung Death Cab, you need to understand that you are playing in the ALLIANCE server. The Alliances in control of the server are those that have the power. You want to change the server, build an alliance and gain some power. As for the game being a former shell of itself, yeah I remember the days of 5K plus countries (probably had a couple thousand people actually playing and multies running the rest) but the game has changed and is still here for those who have adapted and wish to continue playing. I've only recently returned after a 10 year hiatus myself.

As for you being labeled a "suicide"; Your behavior was suicidal for the simple fact that you knew damn well that your country would be killed for the actions it took.Then you didn't have the courage to post under your own name because you knew your actions were going to draw the ire of the community.

Reach down, grab a set and own what you did. Until then you are nothing but a fluffroach that needs to be exterminated. Unfortunately even fluffroaches survive holocausts. Luckily the community carries a lot of raid, and several of us have big enough shoes capable of squashing a fluffroach.





Ben Raines "New Member" 2 posts.... sure. You're the pot calling the kettle black. The first part of your post was a pretty good analogy... I agree with you. The second half..... makes you look like 10 angry men rolled into one.

That seems to be your point.


That's not my point. You missed it. Re-read Requiem's post. He sums it up in clear English.

Lot's of angry bullies in this thread. Not to mentioned the biased mods, some of which throw their weight around when they say you break the rules.... the rules that aren't written anywhere. I see there is no room for civil debate, especially when the mods decide to inject themselves. Very saddening really. 518 Countries? With 333 of them untagged, largely bots.... that leaves about 169 players. 169 players....??? Why are there so few players in this game? This game is a shadow of its former self and the gene pool has become shallow. The insults in this thread, combined with the mod tyranny from some, is a good example of why this game is circling the drain. No whining. Just my opinion. It's like a once great restaurant that once, in its heyday, served the best food on the planet and then bit by bit.... the servers became jaded, angry, and nasty. It didn't matter what the menu said or what you ordered.... they would make you eat what they thought you should eat.. So, patrons decided to stop coming. And then the only people that were left were the regular, angry crew that sat around the counter, fluffed at each other and hated any new customer that walked through the door.

I mean I guess it is a risk folks take when they do it. Either way the person still a POS no matter what name they use. And this guy, in particular, is pretty distasteful.



You guys can wonk all you'd like about Suiciding but that really wasn't the point. This is a good illustration of the point up above. We play not by the Welcome statement of EarthEmpires but rather by Moderator rules that change depending upon the moderator. One of them doesn't like you, and you're a "POS." Or your Outed. Or your threatened with banishment if you use the wrong vocabulary. This one is a bit of a bully... labled me as a "suicider" when it was nothing of the sort, then acted as judge, jury, and executioner. Think whatever you wish. Step out of line, and you're punished. You all saw it in this thread. Now....further witness the additional persecution that this very post will provoke.

All you did is point out you're a suicider, yes point taken, have fun dying every set, josey👍

the grabs weren't an issue for us, those you hit knew the risk and they took it. The moment you fired the missiles you became a suicider cos it was going to get you killed. If laf didn't do it Monsters would have, that had nothing to do with growing land or networth.



You're a "Game Moderator?" No offense, but please show me the rules pertaining to what you are terming Suiciders. Honestly.

This really isn't about suiciding but your response is proving my point, thank you.

Nothing personal.

Here is Earth Empire's welcome page message... again:

"Earth Empires is a free browser based strategy game where you take control of your nation's military and economy. Command your country's military to attack and defend against your enemies. Execute attack strategies to relieve opponents of their resources and land. Strategically invest in technology to outpace the economies of other countries. Ally with your friends or make new friendships by joining a clan. Conduct military operations, govern your country and build your empire."



you still didnt answer my question

how was throwing missiles which do not increase your land or networth???

I was hunting for land and under-defended countries so that I could increase the NW of my own country. Is there a rule against that? Isn't that the name of the game.... in crease the Networth of your country? Anyone?I mean, here is the welcoming message on the home page (and I didn't make this up):


well???

actually i know the answer -

but like i said, same fluff different set. one day we will get Suicided on because we did something to someone.



Again, for you Warster:

I didn't write this so don't blame me. Why are there missiles anyway? Should they be removed from the game?

Nobody said it wasn’t allowed by the description. Look at the server your playing on. The alliances dictate the norms and generally accepted practices within this server.

Suiciding would be violating those norms to the point any alliance would kill you. [/quote]


So the alliance kills the so-called suicider... so what? Big whoop and who cares?

I get it, your nostalgic and traditional. I respect that. But let's be clear, what you call suiciding is not against the rules, correct? I'm not talking about the "norms," I'm talking about the rules.

You're close to the point Karnage XZ, very close... but it has nothing to do with suiciding but I will be glad to address accusations of suiciding because it sounds like its devolving into "It's a witch! Burn her!" with a few long in the tooth Lords of the Flies outing us and determining our destinies.

Suiciding: I had no intention of suiciding and this wasn't about suiciding. What's the definition of suiciding anyway? Is it posted anywere? Is there a rule against it? Honestly... what does the EarthEmpires rule book say? Or is it just according to forum Mob and Mod whimsical and capricious rule? Those little hobgoblins seem like good netters and I applaud that. In fact I love to net. In fact, net and let net I say. But this is also a war game. I remember this game 15 years ago. it was ruthless and fun. Now it resembles a knitting club.

Take a good read.

What are the rules to this game anyway? It looks like it's: Do not increase your NW in this game or the Mods will get you.

Because this game needs some spice and the monsters were caught with their pants down around their legs.... With countries as fat and swollen as a bunch of blood gorged, Alabama Wood Ticks. We are ready to discuss terms for the Munsters complete surrender.
