But Rhett , how can you know if it was a random mass ?
For example , someone in the OE empire masses someone and say's to you he "offended me" while the poor sob didn't do a thing.
It sounds great tho I do believe lots will follow you're law's as it shud be but completly provoking a random mass might be abit harder...
Tho 1 more qeustion , does a Naq hit also include to an aggresive response ? do u have the policy ? "build a defence if you want to keep you're income".
I have many sources mate! In my personal opinion, I honestly think ME has been bad for the game. It encourages people to mass anyone just for more ME. And as for naq hits, THAT is provocation. lol But I do believe if someone builds a defence, they keep their naq, as long as they aren't silly enough to leave loads out there for raiding.
The Educators believed in massing anyone with a big defence to miner ratio, even people no one had even heard of, who just played the game in their own little way. It's those players that are to be protected. If someone is in an alliance, there is usually some provocation, even if not by the massed people themselves.
To answer people's questions about DDE, while they and we do play the role of the 'evil' empires, they are great guys..and ladies to hang around with. Yes they war alot! But so what! What they don't do is bully alliances. REKha and I have known each other for a long long time and we are usually of a like mind. DDE have their honour AND My respect.
And Lithium, to answer ur question about vendettas. Omega started them! Just ask Jay6669 and SC Thor, they broke a NAP and attacked me when I ascended, thinking I was weak. Within minutes I massed them both and they were among the top 10 most powerful accounts ingame. Just ask Nebulator! I could go on..but not everything has to be about the server war.

in previous generations random massings were often seen as an act of power, those opinions have slowly been evolving to the point where we started seeing this as a lack of controle and a waste of rescourses. therefor OE will only mass when it has a reason to, wich are the obvious reasons:
- being in our logs
- offending/threatening our alliances
- picking fights with us
- vendettas
-...
now as it always there are problems when implementing new rules in an empire and it takes a while before they can be effectivly enforced and we are trying to work out the loopholes in our laws.
now for this we are asking the servers help becausse we got 1 problem:
you guys ain't complaining if one of us randomly masses you ! o.O
if ppl don't complain about it then we don't know our rules are being broken. therefor we ask you to report when one of our members breack our empire rules. ppl reporting it will not be harmed and any complaint will be investigated after wich a punishment might follow.
when you are randomly massed we ask you to contact the following ppl:
the ingame alliance leader
the OE diplomat: larsa (curently doing a tour around the empire)
OE 2IC: 1horseman
we prefere if you notify at least 2 ppl so it comes to our HC ASAP.
thank you for your atention
