i seem to attract merciless retals, so i wrote a poem to vent my frustration.

Ode to a suicider

I’m scanning through spy ops
When what do I see?
But a land with few turrents
And what a vast country!

I scroll to my war room
And much to my joy
I’ve jets a plenty
2 strikes? Oh boy!

I build out the acres
Then head off to bed
Sated by such conquest
I sleep like the dead

But while away from my empire
In the throes of my sleep
That weak little country
Plans on making me weep

I awake the next day
And login to ee
Oh what great deeds I’ll do
With such a large country

But to my dismay
Like the slap of God’s hand
10 nukes have fallen
And laid waste to my land

There are Abs a plenty
And chemical strikes too
With no Construction sites left
What can one do?

I cry and I curse
What can I say?
For two small attacks
He’s blown me away

I message him furiously
What’s this? I declare!
Throw your whole set?
For hardly a care?

You built no defense
And now you blame me?
I was doing you a kindness
Buy turrets, you’ll see!

I reason and rail
Though useless it seems
For some in this game
Like to piss on my dreams

Brilliant!

I read it like The Night Before Christmas.

TTT. Lovely! Very well done!

lol... good one man :p

Lmao...really good!

nice work on the poem but you deserved it for being greedy.

You're a bigger man than I am, pain. How can you resist attacking a dude with no defense and 2M jets? The babies practically giving you the candy at that point.

i think that was most likely his intention for running no turrets?

if you see something too good to be true.....do i need to finish that one?

Still don't get this strat. Run no defense, make one big hit, get tapped by ten different countries, retal one, then be at a substantially lower NW then before? It sounds great on paper, wait what?

See the, "Double-tap+?", thread to gain the answer to your 'Ode to Joy' poem.

How stupid... double tap a guy with 2 mil jets?? hope you learned a lesson so we dont have to hear another christmas based poem....

or a better strat... double tap that guy and then get farmed for the rest of the set... ??? dumb or dumber

good poem. make more. post them, we'll give you hoots galore.

Learn to grab on Express. No need to double tap anyone, or get others to put you in DR. You can grow very very big without doing any double taps at all.

The real problem is the suiciders who pick fights with innocent countries, not the people who get suicided on after they were dumb enough to double tap someone.

I hear ya, without a doubt its a bad plan to double tap in express. There's a quote by Machiavelli that keeps coming to mind:

"For it must be noted, that men must either be caressed or else annihilated; they will revenge themselves for small injuries, but cannot do so for great ones; the injury therefore that we do to a man must be such that we need not fear his revenge."
