They already do that Bambam. In NY state they closed a lot of psychiatric facilities, so now they all come to jail. I know this because I get all these fruit cakes. It seems 75% of inmates have some form of mental illness. There is a mental illness for everything these days.

Doesn't work that way with me.

When you hit a tag, you should expect them to retal according to their retal policy, not yours. Otherwise why would they have a retal policy?

If you have a problem with their retal policy, you either avoid that tag, or hit them more to attempt to provoke a war over it.

LaF loves to net, yet they love to throw their weight around at the same time.

Because you can easily RoR and claim it was a LG? There are how many countries on this server, if you can't find another target within those 48 hours, you have an issue.

If you don't like a certain tag has a 48 hour RoR policy, then don't hit that tag. You cannot force your retal policy on another tag when you're the aggressor. It doesn't work that way.

I don't need diplomacy. You don't grab the fluff out of us one set and outrun us in NW only to sign a pact, then try to RoR us this set. Not happening. They're doing the same thing to PDM because they think they can get away with it, and it won't be tolerated.

Our policy has been longstanding. They ran into it last set, nothing is new. If they don't like it, they should have offered a pact.

I'm fed up with their fluffing games.

It's the same as last set and there's really nothing more to say.

It's as legitimate as any other strategy, and no cheaper than having a tech ally ring. I'll put you in contention for the top ten, just work with me. Those who need to know already do. But you won't landtrade yourself to a top 5 finish on your first try. Trust me.

I still don't get why the Democrats aren't going out in full force with TV ads proving how Romney has changed his stance so many times. His entire campaign went out the window during the debate. He backpedaled everything he had said up to that point. Most Americans haven't figured that out yet. CALL HIM OUT ON IT

KJ -- I don't think he's the only one who thought you were in Evo. Having said that, once it was established you were no longer in Evo, the threats should have subsided. Apparently not.

Every country has a right to fight back. If you farm a country, that land is not exclusively yours. They have the right to obtain it back.

It may not be against the rules of the game, but it certainly goes against any pacts they have signed. They're basically endorsing a suicider so they can repeatedly gain free land and benefit from it, at their allies' expense. If it were a random thing, sure. But there is no way this is random.

Oct 28/12 5:55:41 PM SS Zombie Land (#880) () Chazalopilus (#396) (LaF) 30


This guy hits LaF in the same window that #808 hits in. So if he is news camping, it would definitely set off highlights more quickly than #880's attack would.

And it still took #7 2 minutes 36 seconds to hit him. Why doesn't it take him that long with #808??????

Hahahaha

Okay Rockman, I'll play along.

First Group of Attacks

Oct 27/12 5:08:38 PM ~ First Hit
Oct 27/12 5:09:20 PM ~ Last Hit
Oct 27/12 5:09:27 PM ~ #7's (LaF) First Hit

He made 7 attacks in 42 seconds, an average of 6 seconds per attack. #7 attacked 7 seconds after his last attack. How did he know he was done? #7 had 49 seconds to see the first attack, find out who it was, login, figure out the break and hit. Not likely, but okay, I'll play along.

Total Land gained by #7: 3,358 Acres


Second Group of Attacks

Oct 27/12 7:24:06 PM ~ First Hit
Oct 27/12 7:26:01 PM ~ Last Hit
Oct 27/12 7:26:03 PM ~ #258's (LaF) First Hit

So perhaps this isn't just #7 after all. He just appears to be the main benefactor in this. #258 joins in 2 seconds after the last attack. He made 12 attacks in 1 minute 55 seconds, an average of almost 10 seconds per attack. Certainly enough time for someone to jump in and hit this guy. Instead, #258 jumps in after his last hit, 2 seconds after the last hit. Nearly 2 minutes to jump in and he hits 2 seconds after he is completely done. Coincidence? Not likely. But hey, I'll keep playing.

Total Land Gained by #258: 3,001 Acres


Third Group of Attacks

Oct 28/12 7:42:51 PM ~ First Hit
Oct 28/12 7:44:35 PM ~ Last Hit
Oct 28/12 7:44:27 PM ~ #7's (LaF) First Hit

#7 hits 8 seconds before the last hit this time. This was #808's most extensive group of attacks all at one time, in which it appears as though #7 was a little quick on the trigger. Must've gotten excited about all this free land. #7 then waits 10 seconds for him to finish his attacks. 8 seconds pass by, #808 finishes, 10 seconds pass by, #7 is farming. #7 is able to hit an additional 10 times in a span of 6 seconds. It's pretty obvious there wasn't a delay in his hitting. He just jumped the gun. The 17 second delay in #808's third to last hit and #7's first hit could be played down as #7 thought #808 was done. But why not jump in after the 24 second delay a few attacks prior?

Total Land Gained by #7: 2,811 Acres

Oct 28/12 7:45:00 PM EM Parish (#808) (LCN) Oppa phx style (#7) (LaF) 4356 MU

That really fooled us. #808 must be an enemy from the single EM he threw at #7.


Fourth Group of Attacks

Oct 29/12 3:47:36 PM ~ First Hit
Oct 29/12 3:49:05 PM ~ Last Hit
Oct 29/12 3:49:11 PM ~ #7's (LaF) First Hit

So we're still playing the coincidence game. On a side note, it's sunny outside. I thought Hurricane Sandy was supposed to do more than this. Anyways, back on task: 13 attacks by #808 in 1 minute 29 seconds. 6 seconds after he's done, #7 is back hitting him again. Man this guy is good. I wonder if there are similar crystal balls on eBay. #808 had large gaps of 18 seconds, 18 seconds, 11 seconds, 10 seconds, 22 seconds in between attacks. #7 didn't jump in then, as #808 was still attacking, obviously. 6 seconds after #808 is done, #7 is on him again.

Total Land Gained by #7: 6,072 Acres


Fifth Group of Attacks

Oct 30/12 4:09:03 PM ~ First Hit
Oct 30/12 4:10:05 PM ~ Last Hit
Oct 30/12 4:10:07 PM ~ #7's (LaF) First Hit

So we had 19 attacks this time, in a span of 1 minute, 2 seconds. An average of 3 seconds per attack. But #7 magically knew (that god damned crystal ball on eBay) #808 was going to be finished at 4:10:05 PM and he's get his first of many hits in 2 seconds after he was good. This guy is just a model of perfect timing.

Total Land Gained by #7: 6,539 Acres

Total Land Gained by LaF: 21,781 Acres

I'm sure that land won't come in handy when it comes time to final NW or for LaF's Average NW.

My question is, why only have one of these countries? With as many countries in your tag, it would stand to be much more beneficial if you had 5-10 of these guys so you could really crank the NW. You wouldn't even have to grab other tags anymore.

Props to #7. Fastest camper in the west. Dude beats out every other camper in the game. Speed kills.

I would expect LaF to defend it. As if they would come out and admit that they organized these hits. Anybody with half a brain knows it was planned. I don't care how often you camp the news, you aren't going to jump on this guy 3 straight times before anybody else on the server and be the only one to get the big gains. It's not going to happen.

This is clearly not a case of camping the news. This is organized. Look at the time difference on how quickly #7 starts hitting. And the guy stops farming as soon as he jumps in. They are in contact. This is organized. Just foolish this guy organized hits against LaF allies in order to get a quick 12k land.

If this guy was farming untaggeds, fine.

But he's farming LaF allies. Then LaF steps in and farms him immediately after he's finished.

#808 doesn't lose, as he clearly doesn't care.

LaF allies lose. And those who are also netgaining lose as well.

2 seconds.


You can't say you're watching the news, because you time it so perfectly that he stops seconds before you guys rape him for land. It's clearly one of your members running a landfarm. But running landfarms, and farming others tags so your tag can scoop up the land and two step your way to a top finish is pretty cheap.

I'm sure you're going to deny it. Want to drop our pact. War us. Do whatever you gotta do. But this is 100% grade A bullfluff and I'm not afraid to call you out on it.

Romney changes his stance every day. His first debate that he "won" was totally against everything he campaigned for before that. He may have looked good that night, but compare what he said to his campaign and you see a guy who can't stick to a decision. I'm still waiting for details about his tax plan that he keeps dodging.

No. This is tagwide. So if PDM retalled a Sanct country, and another Sanct country grabbed that PDM country within 48 hours, it would be deemed a RoR.

We established 48 hours because it's just easier to keep everything in that window. And with all honesty, there are plenty of targets out there. If you can't find another country to hit, then there is a problem.

So kill the country and force reps. If reps aren't paid, declare war. But from the logs that have been posted, NA didn't deny anything. It appears as though they were trying to work out a common ground.

You know, seeing how Sanct is having a difficult time, it isn't smart to throw around what little weight your tag has and FS a smaller tag. Because every other legit tag in the game is bigger than you and won't take much to set you to farm status.

Stupid move by DK. Granted NA is a fraction of what they used to be, but I have to believe they have at least 1 friend left in this game. And that's really all it will take to wipe DK out. I would reconsider playing the bully card when you're going to be the victim matched up against any other alliance.

There are plenty of targets out there, you shouldn't need to hit that same country within 48. 48 is the standard retal window, so anything inside of 48 would be seen as you retalling a retal.

Just a reminder about our policy. If you grab us, we retal, and that same country gets "grabbed" by your tag within 48 hours, it is deemed a RoR. It works the same if we LG someone who retalled us within 48 hours.

This has been our policy for many resets now and has remain unchanged. Our policy can be located here:

http://wiki.earthempires.com/...hp/Sanctuary_Retal_Policy

The actual language for this section of the policy is here:

Landgrabbing the Retaller/Retallee

- Any country that has made a retal cannot be landgrabbed for 48 hours.
- Any country that landgrabbed us and was retalled cannot be landgrabbed for 48 hours.
-Otherwise the landgrabs will be viewed as over-retalling and will be retalled according to standard escalating policies of 2:1, 3:2 etc

I will have to search for the log from qzjul that stated each ally will assist 25% of their defense, and that no ally can contribute more than 50% of your defensive strength. So if you have 1 ally with low defense, and 1 ally with great defense, they cannot combine to offer 100% assistance, it would be a cap of 50% from each.

So if I have 1M Defense. Ally 1 has 1M. Ally 2 has 3M. I would receive 250K from Ally 1. 750K from Ally 2. For a combined 100% of my defensive strength?

I was told by qz that you received 25% from each ally and each ally could contribute no more than 50% of your defensive strength.

Thomas Game profile

It used to be that you received 25% of each individual defensive ally's defensive power. The combined total could not double your defensive power. Therefore, only each ally could contribute a maximum of 50% of your own defensive strength.

Has this changed so that the combined defensive assistance is no greater than 100%?

i.e. If Ally 1 can contribute only 20% and Ally 2 can contribute 75%, do they both offer maximum assistance? Or is it still no greater than 50% of your defensive strength from a single ally?

I ran into some funny scenarios running land-grabbing calculations last set that couldn't be explained by anything other than both Allies combining to offer up to 100% assistance. I know it never used to be that way, but wasn't sure if there was an announced or unannounced change on this.
