and hence i ask you this. do you see it fair that if a clan of 300 countries sharing land farms between each other is good for the game when you know that even if you are fantastic at playing this game turn for turn and being smart about how you play strategies better than anyone else, that you dont even have a chance at making the top 10 merely because they can just land grab their farms internally to a million acres? people that think this is in the spirit of the game are simply greedy and deluded.
Is it fair? I dunno, RIU. It's certainly a valid question, but what's "fair" or "unfair" is pretty doggone subjective.
Is it "good for the game"? I think it's neither good nor bad for the game. I keep trying (and failing) to understand why you and others think it's so detrimental to the game. If there were 10x the countries available for grabbing spread out over dozens of tags (or untagged), I would say (as I did in the past) that self farming is pretty much like Lovin' from Mother Thumb And Her 4 Daughters.
Do you WANT to see clans like PANLV and FOCUS farm small tags? Is that the kind of "interaction" you think is GOOD for the game?
I have news, my friend. PANLV or TKO or FOCUS or IMP farming themselves is FAR better for the game from my perspective than them farming me. That's why 1a sucks so hard.
You know, I respect you and the fact that in your opinion that self farming is bad for the game. I also think you're wrong.

Forced to war each set is not great if you like to netgain, I forsee this happening a lot. If it's not NBK, it will be another clan that doesn't like what PAN is doing.
Then perhaps PAN needs to look at the way they are managing their clan together with their FA politics. Siding with 2 warring clans in a coalition and then building thier own countries for the purpose of war..does not indicate their intentions as a netting clan.
PANLV is gonna be PISSED at me for what I say next, but I need to do it because you are SO wrong it's not funny, RIU.
At the end of last reset, PANLV Leadership largely DEMANDED that every player build countries with "war startups". Do you know WHY they prdered that, RIU? Because they were so concerned that NBK would FS them that they felt they had no choice.
I objected to being forced to play a particular strat. I was unwilling to allow NBK to dictate to ME how to play this game. So, I did not comply with Leadership's demands.
How "good for the game" is it that a netgaining clan does startups that are prepped for war because they're fairly confident that they're going to be hit? I thought Jussto was paranoid. I thought wrong.
Let me ask you. When is the last time you saw MadMorticia post on these forums? And not coincidentally, she's not actively participating on PANLV's site either.
And why is that? Because you have sucked out her will to play the game. Yes, RIU. You. Meaning NBK. You bunch of badasses, you. How good for the game is that?
