Lifer Suicide?

Hello everyone,

I've received a message yesterday (in my time zone at least) stating the following:

he killed my AC and I and many others disagree with such action


so i began to wonder, what do people actually think of Lifer Suicide and Killing AC?

Is it good or bad? Honorable or not? :lol:


p.s. please note, all votes for Follow the White rabbit will be judged as one way or the other depending on my viewpoint only...

I followed the white rabbit


Its a tactic, why does it exist if its not to be used? This is a rather foolish statement on their behalf in my eyes.

Whats next, no honor in attacking someone, or defending them? :lol:

I think its good, if the losses were more equal you would see alot more people doing it. Only people who do it now don't really care about losses.

or of course, the people who are:

a)trying to kill lifers so they can fit into perg again

OR

b)rather silly indeed.

OR

c)Fed up of people keeping ranks just because they've got uu trained as AC

I think people who have millions in AC should be lifer suicided. They're cowards first off for putting it there so one they can keep some kind of rank and two so people can't get at their income.

If they're gonna leave it out, take it out. Lifers don't do anything anyways.

It's certainly not dishonourable! A bit of a waste of men yeah but a valid tactic if you want to use it.

Well if you can catch an ACer in the act and suicide him its great.

Also those of us hitting the newly slowed Plague limit, well being able to shed those 80 or 90 million lifers to be replaced with trainable UU is a great thing.

There are a large number of people with a very high number of lifers these days and it gives them a chance to let go of some/all of them to replace with UU.

Tactic was introduced whether you agree with it or not there is not really a big problem with using it. If you do not want to risk it happening to you then dont train millions of AC.

Is there any difference to having 5mil AC killed to having 5mil def supers killed? Not really as either way you lose 5mil.
Having someone lifer suicide you likely costs the attacker more resources (even if thay [player doesnt value them they are still resources they no longer have) so you should be happy with that.

You are told who the person is that did it so what is the issue? Have a problem with it go and mass that person, otherwise get over it.

true, but i think they should just do away with the cap, its a stupid idea, limiting an army size, since most people have a crapload of miners in the first place

I find it honorable, i really love it when people then post haha you lost 6mill to my 2mill etc, no it just shows im not scared to lose a few UU in a game that never stops growing,

I love using LS, because the person never expects anyone to kill there 5mill AC units, mwahahahaha,

The people that post haha you lost more, are the true noobs in this game, who have yet to realize this game never stops growing, and whatever i use on you i can replace fast.

Lifers give bigger bank space than miners do...or at least, it used to be so.
