Cerberus, the big difference for you is that I'm guessing when you look at your scores list, almost EVERYONE has double your land.
That's not because the other countries are poorly defended; it's because your countries suck. If you disagree, then for next set, mark down the numbers of all those fatties you grab land from. Then at the end of the set, see how you do vs. how they do.
And ultimately, you may claim this whole "war machine" idea, that you're not a netgainer, but a warrior, but ultimately, your numbers indicate you suck at both warring and netting.
Besides, the whole damn construct of 1:1 retals is something that is a social construct within the game, so don't go quoting the basic rules that are given, because they're irrelevant, unless any of you are honestly advocating that the basic rules are the only ones that matter, in which case, when someone doesn't respect your 1:1 retal, or when you end up at war and someone grabs you, don't fluff about it, because those are just as much social constructs created by the players of the game as the idea of topfeeding.
