Who started the Vultures term in SGW?

[~Thamuz~]

I don't care who farms me if they can get past my def whilst i'm at war, as long as there prepared for me to farm them back! fairs fair, Right? ~Thamuz~

[J.S.]

You farm me while in war with a **Filtered** poor strike because my defense was massed down, I'll mass you if it's more then three times in a short period of time. Then again, I'll mass anyone who hits me more then three times in a short period of time..war or not.

I dislike when people take advantage of you in war, those people deserve a mass. A random farmer that finds a low defense and goes "Oooh! Sweet! Nice hit!" and takes it? That is fine by me.

Ok what if it is a n00b with say a 1 mil army size, and they have been farming you cos you look inactive, would you mass them?

[Noobert]

No, I wouldn't. I would message them first and if they didn't respond maybe sab him a bit..something to get his attention to respond to me.

But I am not inactive, I always have stats unless I'm asleep and gotten massed.

I'm looking to find out who first started using the term vultures... One thing if I could get rid of in 2009 is Vultures.. I mean common, no defence, lots of naq, and makes 10-30 bil a turn, who wouldn't farm them..

A few things should cause a "red flag" before you attack someone.
Are the in an alliance?
Does the alliance have high ranked or large army size players?
Do they appear to have a large CO?
Are they a fairly large player compared to yourself?
Does it appear anyone, the player, the Co, the alliance may be able to level your account?

You should do a little research..
spy them, are they sitting at 4000 turns or withing 3 of that?
Message them, message the CO, message someone in the alliance to see if they are inactive.

Honestly if your going to just go around attacking anyone without a defense then your bound to learn the hard way. A little common sense and looking before you leap can go a long way.

I myself tend to send a message letting them know I am in a war. I don't expect everyone to know what is going on with my alliance by default. but if it continues I definitely pay them a return visit.
