Tired of these cry babies

I have to say that I am tired of cry babies who feel that if they are at war then they can attack whoever they want but that only the alliance they are at war with can attack them. One recent example is Von Schnitzel. He regularly attacks my alliance........here are todays examples.....

08:16 von Schnitzel [ CoTO ] RagnaROCK [ MaelstromYggdrasil attack 12 Win
08:16 von Schnitzel [ CoTO ] The Dealer [ MaelstromYggdrasil attack 12 Win

But when I attacked him he threw a hizzy-fit and sent me a message (I can almost hear the tears!!!) telling me that I was a vulture and would be dealt with at the end of the war. That my name had been added to "the list".

Well, I think it is time to say that any player who is at war but feels he can farm other alliances has to expect to be farmed himself, and just has to accept it.

I'd say message the leader of any alliance that does that, if it doesn't stop or a reasonalble agreement isn't reached i'd say that means open season on said alliance then ;).

yeah, if you are going to attack then expect to get hit back, regardless of war or not.

This has always been a problem with most wars.

Person A (in a war), Person B (not in the war).....
Person A can farm/raid Person B (or anyone else outside of the war) to help gain resources to assist them in said war. This person is not labelled as a vulture or any other term.

If Person B farms/raids Person A (or anyone else in a war) then they are immediately labelled a vulture.

This is why the label of vulture is utter nonsence and should be ignored. Just because someone is in a war doesn't mean no-one else can hit them. People in a war feel happy enough to farm others for their resources so it should be allowed the other way around and not frowned upon or worse.

Hmmm, When someone replys to claim i will be put on a "list" i tend to reply back saying they are already on my "list"...

it confuses them greatly....

MaelstromYggdrasil is part of the Yggdrasil.
Which is at war with DDE.
Which is part of FUALL.

Ok so, he's farming an alliance at war with a common enemy. He is getting farmed back and then complains about it, by threatening to put the alliance already in war on the vulture list?

Wow!

Again astounding logic!!

I see Santa Clause isn't the only one with a "list" but does this von Schnitzel character check it twice?

If he's in perg, he isn't part of any war anyway.

i have had the same problem with warring players attacking my alliance, farming us big time, and we cannot attack them back because we would be "vultures". here's my definition of a "vulture":

"A Vulture is a game player that farms another player who is in a war, and cannot defend his resources."

note i said farms, not hits once or attacks to regain resources taken by said player at war. the current terms with "vultures" allows players an excuse to farm everyone else not in the war and not get run over by those that were attacked.

in any other war game, "vultures" are common, but they are not "put on a list" to get massed later on when the war is over. why can't that be the case here too?

a vulture is someone who is taking advantage of the fact that someone has no defence because they are in a war. In other words: If you farm someone when thy are not at war, you are clearly NOT taking advantage when still farming them during the war as they were your farm already.

So, you are all free to farm me if you could have beaten my 6.4 trill defence I had before the war. Sounds fair?

I think hitting back at those that hit you is totally natural, the dirty tactic of true vulturing is when players deliberately target there farming on waring alliances because they know high income players will have low or no def, in that case then massing is in order and with most true vultures having little or nothing to mass, then the listing them for future massings is also reasonable.

Guys you miss the point ... he is complaining that an ally or at least someone with a common enemy hits him back :D

Suzuk: if you send me the ID i can descend him next time :wink:
