So iMag is DNH. What's LCN on?

2. despite the war, and the dnh, 487 hit me. i didn't consider it a topfeed, but i did consider it inappropriate, given (a) the war, (b) the dnh, and (c) the fact that 487 was in 350-hit diminishing returns -- and never got out of massive diminishing returns until he was killed.
Let's rephrase this!
2. despite the "war", and the _one sided_ dnh, 487 hit me. i didn't consider it a topfeed, but i did consider it inappropriate, given (a) the "war", (b) the _one sided_ dnh, and (c) the fact that 487 was in 350-hit diminishing returns -- _from Fist_ -- and never got out of massive diminishing returns until he was killed.

3. lcn's fa contacted soviet, asking who i should hit to get my land back. soviet told lcn that i should hit other lcn countries to get my land back, and that imag would not authorize any retals on any imag country. so, lcn did go through fa channels, and received a very clear response from imag.
Your "FA contact" was like this:
"Hey youre at war, and your guy who hit us died. Who do we take retals on now?"
"Go land trade."
"Land Trade?"
"Yes hit eachother once or twice to get your land back."
*"FA contact" has gone offline*
As I told you Assassin, don't expect me to look out for you or your members interest. I'm here to look out for my brothers and sisters. That is why I did not offer myself nor one of my members up for you to farm (it's just not fair!).
Now, again, if you want to call that "FA talks" then that's cool, but you can use that little mind of yours and see that "FA contact" didn't fight very hard for your interests.

4. i was instructed to get my land back from imag, rather than hitting other lcn countries.
So basically your leadership told you to go hit iMag till you got the land back? With no such agreements in place? With so much arrogance ingame at the time, that you thought you could not be smacked just as hard for every bit of that (and much, much more) land back? Ballsy.

5. i hit soviet's country, taking some, but not all, of my land back. with soviet's retal on retal, i still needed to take at least two more hits to get my land back, even before the additional dozen retals on retals.
You took 4,258 actual (8,355 inc. ghost) acres from your hits on me. I fail to see how you didn't get all of that 3,588 acres back.
Any legitimate FA in this game would tell you that without prior agreements, your hits are to be treated as Landgrabs. Hell, I even sent you a retal message in referance to your first hit.

Possibly because farming iMag isn't (and didn't turn out to be) a good idea for you.

Wonder why?

8. lcn contacted me and asked me not to hit imag, even as an untagged.
Even if they did, you still looked suspicous to us.

9. i did as lcn requested, despite having 68 missiles, 120(60) turns, 10 million jets, plenty of cash, and being online during your kill run.
You actually had $1.7m cash (with -2.5m expenses) on hand when we started the KR, with tech stuck on the market.

in essence, no one suicided on anyone. imag hit lcn. imag offered no option to lcn other than having me hit other lcn countries to get my land back, which lcn did not consider to be an option.
You ever heard of ghost acres? They're great for parties. And Beer runs.

lcn was going to take land:land, as it's done for 10 years. lcn subsequently backed down and instructed me to take less than land:land. lcn asked me not to hit imag, and i obliged.
If #487 had been alive and LCN had taken L:L I wouldn't have had an issue. But when LCN makes the decision to "take the land from iMag" I have to say no sir, I will not give in.
