When I posted on suggestions board, in my head I was only really thinking about land grabs and mitigating the crazy grabs that topfeed/suiciders get

When it was implemented across the board, I was ab it perplexed.

Now though, I am seeing all sorts of benefits.

First, as expected it stopped some douchebag all jetter from top feeding me for more than I could get back. We came out the original exchange with the agressor probably feeling a bit sore.

Obviously he lobbed his missiles, but that as to be expected.

Just meant I could carry on farming him.

Now he's used his missiles, he's moved onto SR, but because he is running such a lame country he's only killing 2k pop a time, and I have 500k lol

So if you ask me, these changes are absolutely excellent in terms of handicapping weak sauce players. Not so much that big countries have the advantage, but enough that they can no longer abuse certain game mechanics.

Thanks pang!

Agreed. I was just looking at your exchange and he definitely came out the loser.

Yeah, I think its a great change as a whole as I said many times. But the AB/BR building destruction being building specific limitations is not good.

I think that the problem was when the AB (and BR I can't recall) got nerfed.

Leave the 10% limit, remove the nerf and I think we are golden.

ABs and BRs were still good and I do agree they should have some similar 10% limitation but not to specific buildings but to total buildings, then we are golden. :)

Didn't realise they were building specific... if so then yeah that's a bit tricky.

In other news, the toothless top feeder strikes back.... with hilarious results :)

You are reading the news exactly right!

The person that hit me has an MO that I am hugely familiar with.

All jetter grabs. I retal they grab again to try and get you to break GDI. Yawn. If you grab me you better make sure I can only take 1 retal, because ... https://www.earthempires.com/...tal-51-48459?t=1580441123

The reason they do this is because they are fluffty at netting, so they think that I have some burning need to finish t10 and that this is something they can leverage to try and get away with being a douche.

They are wrong (and stupid). I can t10 with my eyes shut, it’s much more appealing to me to expose douchebags like this. Especially now they have no chance of really doing any serious damage (because that would require running a decent country in the first place) hence the subject of the thread.

it is my fervent desire for this game to remove anonymity, because I see that as the biggest step towards addressing greifers. So I will do whatever it takes (notice how I have no qualms in giving away who I am). For me that’s the game right now, netting warring are just the motions that I go through.

This reset I played TC because it’s a fun strat that I enjoy. It’s not something I think I can win with. It also pretty much outs me due to playtimes/style (if the name theme over past few months wasnt enough) This is mostly because I have a special friend that is so obsessed with me that they just can’t keep it in their pants, and being fattest country is perfect bait. Shout out to ebert and gerdler, I know how you guys feel, some might say it’s karma... that sounds like cross server fluff though (let’s not forget I have precisely one interaction with ebert where he killed me for multi tap, that was when I was new I learned quickly!). So the only rational explanation here is that it most be some kind of infatuation of a sexual nature, maybe some dom sub thing. I dunno, why else would they paint us such a detailed picture of desperation and failure.

So, mystery admirer know this. When I win, you won’t even know it till it’s over. If you see a fat TC in future that’s me again, so take your best shot. You are being played and you don’t even know it.

Bye Felicia.

When I run TC pretty much the only way to grab me is get very lucky with timings, or run an under defended jet heavy country that I will farm for playing like a douche. (This is not alliance, do not expect 1:1, do not collect $200)

Now that pang et al have nerfed “being skinny” the playing field is more level. In order to top feed now, you need land. That land becomes a liability if you don’t protect it. So you are forced to run a “proper” country.

So you better get good. Your RoR BS doesn’t work anymore. So sad.
