Rock 48 hours would be stupid. Why restrict grabbing even more when you are such a big proponent of making policies better for grabs.

LaF's view is 24 hours grace period after doing a retal. While I think it should be changed to 48 hours, I wasn't aware that most of the server was different from that.
I've had the impression that if another LaF country hits the retalling country and doesn't send a retal message (even within 24h), LaF doesn't consider it a RoR. Is that wrong?


If someone treats such a situation as a RoR LaF will not contest it.

Because you can easily RoR and claim it was a LG? There are how many countries on this server, if you can't find another target within those 48 hours, you have an issue.

If you don't like a certain tag has a 48 hour RoR policy, then don't hit that tag. You cannot force your retal policy on another tag when you're the aggressor. It doesn't work that way.

I think there are plenty of examples of it working exactly like that.

See, LAND:LAND policies.

Doesn't work that way with me.

When you hit a tag, you should expect them to retal according to their retal policy, not yours. Otherwise why would they have a retal policy?

If you have a problem with their retal policy, you either avoid that tag, or hit them more to attempt to provoke a war over it.

LaF loves to net, yet they love to throw their weight around at the same time.

If you try to outrun retals, just make sure that your clan mates does not whine if other clans do the same to you.
Make sure your all-ex countries don't whine about it.

If they are ex countries, that would mean they disagree with something at LaF or are playing under a new leadership so would have nothing to do with LaF anymore, wouldn't it?

Anyway, thanks TAN. Grabbing in this game is an interesting concept that I am yet to really get my head around. It almost seems to me like ghost acres are the problem. But I come from a very different game when it comes to grabbing. This thread is helpful.
Success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are.

Ghost acres are probably a combination of "the problem" and "the only thing keeping grabbing worth it", without GA this would quickly become a game of "who runs the best all-explore country" I think/fear.
