Vulture?

[MajorLeeHurts]

there is no such thing in a war game.

by definition, yes, but when did this place ever really run by definition, that is generally just the last refuge of the real intellectuals that hide in these places.

I have to disagree with you there Semper. I do believe "vultures" are real and do exist, just as "snipers" do. I just class them differently then the common definition used here.

A true "vulture" willfully and intentionally goes to know warring alliances for easy pickings. That means when they see a thread, they go to BOTH sides of the conflict and take all they can get, all the while never building or maintaining anything that can be hurt or destroyed. These player generally work solely on untouchable stats such as tech's, UP, covert levels and MS slots.

To me its not weather they could hit me with or without a defense, its how they play itself that defines them as a vulture.

Very well said Lore I agree, and have found that in most cases where someone attacks a 0 def and its just a random naq hit a simple message will suffice mentioning a war status and any reasonable experienced player will stop and offer the naq back without incident. I wouldn't consider those players vultures.

This is a war game and being at war or in a vendetta is the highest form of play here and is deserving of a level of respect again I am pleased Admin has addressed this.

i rather see a vulture get my naq or UU than FUALL. if anyone has problems with vultures just mass them, i myself am too lazy for that

[weilandsmith]

there comes a point in building up an account where you're gonna earn a lot more naq than you can defend. for example, big accounts will not farm for less than 10 to 15bil while small accounts will farm for 3 to 4bil upwards. the point is, it's practically impossible to defend your account because you have to go to sleep or do some rl stuff. so, if someone doesn't hit you for however much naq you have out, then someone else will. this will happen to you whether you are in a war or not. what's the use of calling people vulture? hell if you wanna revenge getting hit then just mass them. no need for name calling or labeling.

I don't mind losing my naq to anyone as long as they are not allies but if you take my money during the time of war and I am online.. that is just unacceptable and I will mass over that.

That is not completely true either about the getting hit or not. Before the TJP war broke out, I went to bed with Nox/Crit off and woke up with full nights income on a 200B defense. People don't ALWAYS hit you.

It is better to label, and give a reason. Then just mass somebody and not give real meaning behind it. So people will learn from their mistakes rather then make the same mistake twice. Most people have [War] somewhere in their planets/names. That is when I don't farm people.

Also, your comment about he bigger people hitting for that much..that is wrong. I've seen people hit for 8B with a 400B strike.

Why should I explain myself to you if i hit you for naq or why should you explain anything? This is the essence of the game: "naq hits and UU raids". This is a war game. Does it matter if the hitter does not belong to the opposing alliance? If you get hit for naq, then you get hit for naq. If you get massed, then you get massed. Up to you to retaliate or not.

Admittedly, there are professional vultures. But you shouldn't label all people uninvolved as vultures.

[Noobert]

If they are uninvolved. Then why would they want to get involved with continous farming? If you are just randomly farming, and see a large amount out on a 0 defense. Sure, you'd hit it. But if you check their alliance and see the same thing and hit them. Are you COMPLETELY innocent for not knowing what you are doing?

I honestly don't care. You hit me, whatever. It's only a game. People just use this term to justify their actions in massing people. Hell, next time I mass somebody I'm going to say this for a reason.

'You are a foob.'

Let's see if anyone gets that.

[weilandsmith]

'You are a foob.'

Let's see if anyone gets that.

why not just call every single person that hits you from now on a vulture...lol

[Noobert]

Hmm.. I shall. Starting with you Ifrit! Vulture! RAWR! You vultured my heart. I cannot believe you quit, you froob.

well Im debating returning, so no worries. When and if I do I'll be sure to steal your income

[Tekki]

Yeah do come back Ifrit! You after all made a promise to me you haven't fulfilled

Though does it matter if you consider someone a vulture or not? Different alliances have different rules, so if you hit them and they mass you that's just their way.

I know dear, I am returning. Work is slowing down next month so when it does Ill be here.

Thats the best news Ive heard all day


and I find a polite little PM much more effective than massing some little acct of a guy who feels all good about himself for hitting someone much bigger Its kinda cute actually cuz you know they got all happy lol
