But you see the logic there right, it would have taken him 4 turns to get 100 acres, when you could just retal you with MAX 3 turns as a Dem and get 2000 acres.

And if you PS him 5 times, you the retaller deserve the empty acres, right?

Also, if 100 acres could have been gotten back by exploring for 4 turns, why did you hit him then? You should have just explored for the 100 acres.

I understand your point. The key to it all is the GDI. After your RoR, his has FS at messing you up.

Day 1 you hit someone for 100 acres.

Day 3 hit retals you for 2000 acres.

Day 3 you RoR him for 1000 acres.

Day 4 (360 turns plus stored turns and hours of waiting and prepping) you log on you your 18K acre country that has just 3K buildings and 10 BPT, (this only because he wants to have fun with you since you messed up his set). Had he wanted you wouldn't be able to log on since your country had been GSed to death.

"land thieving pests"??? You say this after "thieving" his 100 acres? LOL!

The present value in turns of your 2000 acres is probably his 100 acres. Or rather, the future value of the 2000 acres you lost was the 100 acres you took from him. The 100 acres you took from him helped you get to your current size.

Everywhere else I would say your theory works, but not in Express. The rate that turns come in is an equalizer like no other.

I have personally witnessed, on more that one occassion I might add, Rob grow at amazing rates after long stretches of seeming inactivity, so all I'm going to say to you is good luck with that. I would like to say hope you don't get lotted, but I have a feeling you will be.

Even in Express with its high turn rate, a good war player will demolish you no matter how good you think you are. 133tz witnessed that 1st hand last set.

Guys have hit me and got DH and I have retalled them for 2k acres and we moved on. The land is plentiful out there, the game doesn't start and end between the both of you.

Whatever your explanation will be, I can guarantee you that for every blid out there that says 'some RoRs are warranted' there is someone else that will say 'how dare you even think of hitting me, both our sets are over!'. You can make up any rules you want to play by, but the rules of your game can be determined by the rules of your opponent.

Tell that to the guy that RoR on Rob last set. Or the guy that RoR on Phreak4Life. It almost never ends well. But if you have a thing for parking lots then I guess you have a thing for parking lots.

RoR is almost never acceptable. You will almost always have to live with the consequences. You either try diplomacy, hope it ends there, or go to war.

Most people I've seen with the mentality of RoR never end well in that set.

Primary is 4X the size. He's at 11 and the opponent at 33, that's3 times the size. You can retal. If you are confused and unable to retal then I don't know how you got to $11 mill net in the 1st place.

Last set in Express I couldn't give away my business tech for free but my residential was selling at 25 -40% above the average. My guess was that there was quite a number of GS going on and countries wanted to boost their population.

I ended up stopping bus production and for a while I was only teching res and still couldn't keep up with the demand. Leave it as is.

If someone is netgaining on the Primary server and testing a warring strat on Express and messes with me on Express, I can go to their Primary game and fluff them up.

The first thing this will create is cross-server retals.

@qzjul, no need to talk about it, just go ahead and implement it already. I know of 2 "retals" I would be willing to make before the end of the week.

I know there are a lot of sickos out there, but do you really think there are four other people like Fatty out there?

Actually I'm sure there are. I would definitely play this if it were implemented.

I don't play alliance-styled games so FFA, Alliance, and Team are no goes for me.
