Realm name or tag interpretations

I realized recently that I interpret tags and realm names a bit differently then might be intended by the originator. Some examples below...

Protected by ____ I take this one to mean that the person wearing the tag will in no way retaliate for themselves, but will call in help from all their friends.

At war or In Server war (many variants) means they have too little defense. Also means they are less likely to have DMU if it is actually true.

Will Mass for 1 hit (many variants) The players that actually do this rarely put it in their tag so it generally means they will not mass you for hits, but they want to seem tough.

New Owner often means the player does not know ascended game mechanics and will squander planets/turns proving this point.

There are of course exceptions to every rule. I would love to hear some of your interpretations on the above or add one to the list if you think of one not here already.

*Quickly checks own tag...*
Mine is simply my alliance name, which keeps away (most of) our allies.

Other funny ones:
active player - I don't log in very often
PROUD ### MEBBER - I can't spell
[A farm for a whil - RL is interfering (I actually respect this one!)
I can farm back - but I probably won't...
I LOVE U - huh!?
Peaceful - please leave me alone, pretty please?

I think the potential farm list is what happens after I click The Cosmos link.

That's probably just me. :lol:

Actually there are exceptions. I don't steal little amounts of DMU if I can help it.

I dont even look at realm names, only thing i bother with is Personal Tags, if you are not an ally or alliance/empire mate then your DMU is mine, unless of course you dont have much :P But they're some accounts I avoid because of respect.

I always view the tag, "AT WAR" as an excuse not to get their DMU stolen... :lol:

Oh and how it disadvantages me to have them know that my one weakness is my absolute fear of being labeled a "vulture", woe is me.

Yeah, I remember when 'vulture' was a threat instead of a joke.

vulture was only a threat when it wasnt used so often

now that everyone uses it as an excuse to get their "friends to mass someone who took their naq its become a useless word that means no more than an appendix
