heh...extortion, no thanks, mass away, i really don\'t give a crap, this little game is nothing more than a distraction from my real life problems.

Hardly new - but certainly a method!

LoL really to be proud of this, I would be if I were him... :roll: [/sarcasm]

Did you farmed him excessively or tried to raid him, or is he totally new to you, btw?

Extortion is nowhere near new, but to be effective, it must be done by an alliance or player that can back up their claims. That said, it isn't the most respected ways of growing in this game.

I do wonder what Odin would have to say about this going on in his alliance. A tad bit ironic considering recent events, don't ya think?

some people :lol: :lol: :lol:




































































never learn.......

You will find loads of noobs like this out there,they are unable to think of method how to grow so are trying it the hardest way possible instead :lol:
noobs will be noobs I guess...

EDIT:
as mathlord said,it isnt against the rules but for some people it`s the only way how to grow,either extort people or hide behind the alliance tag of some of the current empires,take your pick....
As mentioned above there are LOADS of them out there

Did you hit any members of TC in the past week? They were at war and could be considering you a vulture, hence the message.

I don't hit tagged people for just such a reason, I don't want to be a vulture, I know how much I hate them

as a matter of fact my last hit on anyone was 10 days ago (April 6th) and a friend that was quitting the game

Hmm, I'm from The Collective and I can personally say I've never heard of such action. I do not know our official stance on extortion, but me being a victim of it at one time, I do not condone it. I'll see if I can talk to him and see why he's threatened you. SATAN is rather.. warmongering so it could be just that he's bored and wants someone to mass.. I don't know if I can really do much about it.
