- People that play the game the way it was intended and build their accounts with time and effort.
- People that build defenses
- People that message me and say "Nice hit" or "Good job"
Who don't I respect?
- People that cry over a good naq hit and want to sit on your account. Basically they're blaming you because they **Filtered** up...
- People that try to act bigger than they are. Seriously kid, just because you have more in your alliance or your army size is larger than mine, doesn't mean you know how to play the game or should be in my logs.
- People that mass others while sitting behind a defense that everyone can farm over. Nobody likes a selfish lover.
- People that pick on others when they know they have a clear advantage. If you're looking for fights, post in the GC. I'm sure someone will take you up on the offer.
- People that sit behind a huge defense and bank once/day. Go on vacation mode already... you're not playing the game.
- Alliances that threaten me because I'm farming one of their members when they have a 0 def. You don't want me in your logs, then boot the inactive with 0 defense. They can always rejoin when they decide to play.
- People that think they're good because they gain more than they lose. Using that logic, I'm a GOD. That doesn't mean your good, that just means you never build anything worth massing or are never/rarely massed.
- People that tell their alliance that it's okay to hit anyone, then cry when they get massed. If you wanna play that way, accept the consequences.
How can people cry about how there's an overabundance of resources on the server, yet when they get massed... they sit there with 0 defense and refuse to rebuild it? It's one thing if someone goes to war with you, they mass your huge defense and all they leave you in return is measly 100b defenses that you can farm over. To me that indicates to me that they have no **Filtered** clue how to play the game. If you can't raid 1m UU to build a decent defense and farm the naq to buy the weapons within a couple of turns, then you never learned how to play the game.
As for specific people that I respect...
duderanch - a lot of respect for the way you shrugged off your losses. I'd love to take your naq anyday... hopefully tomorrow, if I'm lucky... and you're drunk
bebita, rob3rt, r8, Deni - I know all of you guys get a lot of flak, but I know exactly the type of time and effort is needed to farm those amounts of naq.
BillusBallus - had Technocracy thrown into his lap and made it his own alliance. It's definitely not the Technocracy I had envisioned. He's always looking for what's best for his members. It's still one of the few alliances that actually know how to recover their losses and build a defense.
BillusBallus, FreeSpirit, Colton - I know the type of effort you're putting into all that raiding. You're wasting a lot of ATs on a commodity that keeps dropping in price, though. I'd probably be in the contention for 1st place if the returns were worth the investment.
would you like me to give you your very own colorful example? Hmm, how about people that tap dance in marked mine fields shouldn't be surprised when they blow it. Happy?
