It was someone who forgot their original account info and then made another account, then remembered the old account info. I cannot understand why returning players keep doing this....
But, uh, yeah.

I’m looking for a def ally who plays with hardly any defence

One who makes great choices when selecting which targets to hit for land grabs and doesn’t over-send too much

I just miss my old def ally because I could check my relations page to see who Tmac hit and how many jets he sent and I usually had a good target that I didn’t need to spy on at all

Bro retract your statement on hitting Tmacs targets. They will flag you for collusion and retroactively delete you! For sharing target info and for hitting the same targets lol

Also with the small land grab I mean player base your ally would need to LG every basically every country in the game (1 PS) per day to compete and get 40k land no?

Oh no, I think having def allies is fairly pointless unless they are skilled at grabbing and you can mutually use the alliance (viewing the alliance page) to gain intel on targets without spending turns

Plus the last time we were allies was over a year ago

Tmac was just one name I remember. I also allied for quite a while with a player who went by Ponti and he was a really good land grabber as well

If the game gives you information (the number of jets out in a PS brigade) then it is not collusion.

A strategy? Yes.

I'm super glad to hear there was a website back in the day to collect dbags in one place. Neat.

I try to find ways to attack targets without spying

I guess just because the way spy strength is calculated is a bit goofy, and so you need as many spies as possible late in the game

I’d rather over send and burn through jets than waste a turn failing a spy op

If the game gives you information (the number of jets out in a PS brigade) then it is not collusion.

I was under the impression that is frowned upon that allies hit the same targets one after the other cuz that is collusion no?

For example if I am allied to KoH, Hessman, Tmac, Light Bringer we cant all gang up on the same countries to each LG them into the ground to make retaling hard right?

Now on my original question; isnt it illegal to share spy op / break info with allies? So the work around that I am learning is that I can now just see what my ally sent on his PS and save myself the effort of spying. Good trick I guess. Provided that hitting all of your allies targets is ok.

In my scenario, i idle in the primary news IRC. I can setup alerts for all of my allies country names every time that they make a PS and I can login and hit the same country within seconds of my ally and send my jets based off their PS screen without using an op.

if that is ok than I will set up my alerts and ride the coat tails of all my allies making LGs haha

But where's the fun in that? There is so little to do here in primary already and if you take out spying and calculating breaks what's even left lol. Plus there are factors you dont know, like your allies weps. If they've got 145% and you've got 110% thats a huge difference in break!

SF, if you set alerts and hit the targets your allies hit directly after they’ve hit them, then you will lose to your allies and gain far less land than they do

What I used to do is take notes of who my allies had hit and how many jets they had sent out on PS and then save that info and use it if it helped me when it made sense for me to hit that target

It makes sense to wait for DR to wear off before making your own attack, you just have to keep note of networth changes and do a bit of estimating

LB - assuming you ally with players who also finish in the top ten, then they will likely have decent weapons tech levels, and if you keep your weapons tech levels high you won’t have to worry about the variation too much

Also, I think it’s more fun to hit without knowing for sure that you will break, cuz you get a little bit of excitement when you hit that attack button :) like pulling a slot machine handle, lol

Although this strategy cost me about 5 DH hits last round

Yes, I would consider this as the main determining factor in who finishes the round in first, second, or third, etc.

We all get approx the same # of turns, so how do I get (and keep) more acres than the other competitors with the same # of turns, or with roughly the same # of attacks over the course of the round

There is a subtle art to finding a safe path to gaining more acres with your grabs than the next player

If the game gives you information (the number of jets out in a PS brigade) then it is not collusion.

If you engage in deliberately suspicious behavior to the detriment of your own country then you are likely to find trouble with the moderators.

Slagpit, honest question. is it frowned upon to hit same targets as your allies or does it not matter?

Would the news camping thing get you deleted? I dont think anyone has done this but now that this thread has put the idea on various peoples minds (especially mine now that I learned that you can look at allies PS to see breaks) it should probably be addressed as good or not good i think?

I thought everyone knew that you could click your relations page and click on each one of your defensive alliances and view them :P

You can even see the time until their PS returns if they’ve made more than one, and determine which PS was sent at which target based on the times

You need to figure out yourself how many units they would have lost in their attempt

You’d be surprised and what people don’t know…. I had an ally last set ask me how I had so much land without having any jets when he looked at our alliance pact…. I messaged back telling him it only shows jets at home, which at that point was 0.
