Got a quick question I went to attack someone (well farm them anyway) and after I had set how many turns iwanted to use it gave me this message
"You cannot attack them - they are virtually at your exact location! The risk of self damage is too great."
which I have never seen before. I have more defence and attack than him and im higher than them on the ladder by a few thousand. Whats going on. I put it on the newbie post as I werent sure where else to put it. Oh and their not on ppt.

he's on the same connection as you are, if you used your home PC it can be your brother, your sister, or even you. but if you attacked the operson in school there's a possibillity that someone plays this game in school

I think your ISP may have something to do with it. I know alot of AOL users have the same IP (that's not to say only AOL works this way). There are a few other forum accounts that share your IP so there's a chance you may have bumped into one of those in-game.

I suppose that explains it though I dont like the fact that I cant attack him. Cheers for the expaination.
