Re: Extortion - (demand goods for not massing) - right or wrong?

It's part of the game, the game is not just numbers and attacks, but also messaging and with that, tactics. If you buy supporter status, you're opening yourself up to people asking for resources. If you do not, then people can't even ask for you to send anything, because you simply can't.

You also have to wonder why people who are big enough to threaten someone in such a way are hitting on people too small to defend themselves. If you play the game well, you'll have balance. Why would one player with a huge attack (and defence to stop you simply stealing everything back if they attacked you) be trying to extort a player unless they were earning a hell of a lot? Someone with the ability to threaten extortion wouldn't be wasting their time extorting people who only have a tiny amount that they could possibly send them. So they must be extorting people who have a high income of resources. And if they're earning so much that they would be a target for extortion, why haven't they built up their defences?

It is very simple; if you keep a balance, make sure that your defences equal your income of resources, you wont have any problems.

ok, i havent had time to read this entire forum {kinda busy} butr from just glancing at it, i agree that its part of the game and though i dont like it and i dontr ever see myself using such actions, there aint a whole heck of a lot you can do about it...and as for the rank thing where you cant extort PAST a certain rank, it would be a good way to hide from the players who actually DO this kind of thing lol...anyhow thats my takw on it, i apologize if ive said basically whats going on lol
