Ya. The topfeeding this set is ridiculous. And the number of countries I've seen with 2 or 3 Offensive allies this reset.... At least 10 of them.

qz, if you're reading this, get rid of O-allies from solo servers already...

Well just getting rid of offensive allies make it advantageous to any strat, would it? Most players play without any offensive allies anyway.

What it would do is level the playing field and prevent offensive alliance leeching

Get rid of all type of allies making the calculation even easier. Just remain the GDI as well or make even multi tap also not open the special att.

Nah, it's better to keep defensive allies to help counteract PS bonus, otherwise grabbing people becomes just too easy. Plus, it makes attacking more interesting. Attacking in Tourney is such an easy calculation it's ridiculous.

Without offensive allies is unfamiliar territory for Vivanick. It's a purely hypothetical situation for him. It'd be like me talking about the advantages of being humble.

Wow, Lexus was able to DT. Must have a lot of offense. The hits were timed together, I don't like the way it looks. You were having a great set once again bakku.

Of course he had a ton of offense. He was jet heavy and had done 9 grabs all set prior to his grabs on Bakku. And he was the offensive ally of someone who was grabbing daily and has done 74 grabs this set.

We've seen this type of play many many times. Some people play primary like it is team server. And the moderators won't do anything about it.

I am going to draw parallels to what happened 2 resets ago:
- Power of Darkness (#125)
- Vice Viscount Valentino (#88)
both PSed me (and #88 was leeching off #125 tremendously for 3 weeks) within 20 minutes of each other in April. Same thing happens this reset except it is on Bakku's country.

In both cases, it is shortly after comments posted on Primary Talk regarding topfeeding and off-leechers.

Possibly, but possibly not. It's hard to know what people are investing bonus points in, how many turns people are logging out with, tech levels, and most importantly how one strat will compare to another. (Sure some of this is discernable via a simple spy op, but I realy doubt you spied the obvious countries to check on to compare). Bakku was ahead in land, but not by all that much over one of the other commies. I'm not trying to jump on you but I dislike how often when someone gets hit we hear "they were so far ahead". Just saying=)...

Well Bobby, my logic is quite simple

I followed the news and the taking into account the fact that bakku is probably the best CI player out there (which means he would have picked the right bonuses and played it optimally), and with the amount of land he had on hand i'm quite certain he was ahead.

Sounds like it might be open season now! oldman I recommend either of two courses of action: 1) self-delete, or 2) beat down anyone who multi-taps :P. Hope you get back for next round. Looks like you're back right on time for Tourney.

2012-08-08 11:47:17 PS Lexus CT200H (#109) the reason is you (#174) 4024A (5560A)
2012-08-08 11:45:32 PS Lexus CT200H (#109) the reason is you (#174) 5022A (7383A)

Lexus is doing the hits instead of Venus, but bakku will retal Venus for all those. I think Venus is trying not to break GDI but after getting hit 4+ times will eventually do so. I still don't understand why they're starting a fight with bakku.

Because if Vivanick can get Bakku, me, and about 80 other people to quit EE, then he'll be able to get a top 10 without having to cheat.

Don't you see blid? It is identical to 2 resets ago. I PSed Vivanick everyday after the double hits on me, while his Off-ally gets me daily.

If Viva can play dirty (and not get deleted), all of us can play dirty too and get our friends to all PS him daily.

Also, Viva didn't defend my allegation that he might have thought Bakku's country was mine, and he was not targeting Bakku at all.

Well, when it happened to you it was probably because of your comments on the forum. That didn't make it okay but you could see a motive and it didn't just seem like random destruction. With bakku, it's just a mystery. You say maybe they thought it was you? I don't know, bakku's countries are easy to spot, always all lowercase names, and that still wouldn't explain why he's being AB'd in Tourney.
