If you're trying to grow, you can at least stay over 50% of the landsize of an all-explore non-republic. If you can't stay above that landsize, you are intentionally staying small. If you are intentionally staying small, and then grab someone, then you are not doing it to grow, you are doing it to provoke them, as an act of war.
IMP committed 3 acts of war against me, and they outnumber me 311 to 16, so I won't even contest the fact that the bully can beat up the kid who is nearly 20 times smaller.
IMP has shown many times this set that they have the tremendous courage to pick on much smaller enemies in hope that the enemies will fight back. I will not give IMP the pleasure of fighting back, and allowing them to pretend like they've gotten the war they prepared for.
When you & your friends try to drive everyone off the server except for yourselves, then you end up in a situation like IMP has this set. You want to war, but you don't have anyone you can war. And then to make up for it, you try to pick fights with much much weaker enemies.
When the alliances that dominate the political landscape in FFA decide that the continuation of the game is more important than being the bully that beats everyone up until they quit, then let me know.
Until then, I'll stand aside as IMP, Swords, etc. all try to ruin the server. I'd love to do something about it, but I can't do it by myself, and no one near the end of last set when I decided to play this set decided that they had the same goal of fighting back against bullies. Everyone instead wants to fight the easy fight and be the bully.
