What would you consider bullying

[BL1P]

I was just wondering what people would consider bullying in sgw world.

I suppose myself i would say unprovoked attacks upon a whole alliance
or
massing of multiple members of an alliance for no reason other than it makes the attackers feel big.
or
threats of massing in order too gain resources

what would you say ?

Id agree, Although i wouldnt consider bullying being "If you dont give me back my planet i keel you" that kinda thing is fine, Also defending a friend or yourself, If your bigger than someone can also be constrewed as bullying, sometimes it is, sometimes it aint .

Also bullying would be this...

Bullying is an illusion created by the weak to attempt to protect themselves from the strong.

A good example of an excuse from hypothetical bully too justify his/their actions.

thank you Taure

but ..

Recent research indicates that bullying has two main causes:

* The bully has difficulty with social skills, is unable to make friends easily, and thus does not know better ways to relate to others
* Bullying is used to enhance self-concept -

Self-concept is the way you feel about yourself. Well-balanced people enhance the way they feel about themselves through their achievements, activities and occupations. Bullies, however, have a distorted sense of how to increase their self-concept, and so engage in anti-social activities. Bullying makes them feel good about themselves and, mistakenly, they believe that engaging in it will make other people see them as powerful.

look at this

Research indicates that adults who bully have personalities that are authoritarian, combined with a strong need to control or dominate.[5]. It has also been suggested that a deficit in social skills and a prejudicial view of subordinates can be particular risk factors.

You can only be bullied if you allow it. As soon as you stop being a victim and stand up to a bully, his attempt to control you with fear fails.

[BL1P]

I agree robin.

more often than not the answer is too stand up to a bully/bullies
this isnt always possible but when it is it should be attempted

that doesn't alter the fact of what the bullies are though or prevent them from moving onto there next victim.

I find it interesting how the game reflects what happens in life sometimes
I was never bullied at school or in work but ive seen it happen too family and friends and seen it happen in sgw.
kinda sad that some players use this style of play.
possibly revenge for being bullied at school or in life in general.
who knows
