The natural course of events are never to my favor.

Not so long ago, some guy called squirrel joined. We sent him aid. He seemed okay, and if he attacked us, so what?

Then, one day, he hits me for 130k of land, leaving me with so little that the standard scout command is actually worthwhile.

Worse, I can't retaliate. All of AE took the land and each have 40k more or so.

I'm allied to them.

I'm currently trying to get my land back, hoping that LP and the rest of AE are willing to return it.

Thanks, squirrel. Now I can't even use turns.

Such events only work if the land is kept in unallied acounts. Otherwise, so long, land.

This very much reminds me of when some at RWL paid a person to rat mass, hit their clan, and let them take the land.

It's unintentional, but what you did had the same effect.

Fun.
Back. I think.

Why can't you run turns? Too many troops?

Not you, Beatles. Your land went to those of lower ranks. I read this somewhere. Someone said that either they or someone else paid another player to get an insane amount of land they couldn't keep. Then, the player hit that person, took the land, and built on it. Since that gave him a huge boost, the guy who was the middleman for the land got paid quite a bit.

(this was RWL somewhere, so even I knew where, would linking really be a good idea?)

No one got paid, but my 100k went somewhere.

I had 120k land, and now I have 20k. That missing 100k with no spare loyalty can really cause the three percent rule to work.

It doesn't matter where the land comes from, but someone needs to cough up 100k.

Squirrel hit me for a full 70 attacks, each getting between 1 and 2k. So, 100k is a bit of a light estimate.

You could have told me and let me hit him back. I had several million otters.

Instead, you all take the land.

So, may I please attack back for it? Seeing as I need to get back to my state of 120k.

Why not sell enough troops so you can run turns. Or I can send you some cash/runes. I only took a few 1,000 land, and that was because hit me, so I retaled.

I just said that my account is entirely intact except for the land.

In such a game, not much can fix land deprivation.

I'm waiting for Slasher and LP's and your reply as to whether I can take back the land.

I can sell troops, but I only have a finite amount, and without land, they won't last too long.

So, I likely need to attack you people. I would just prefer to not start anything, to hit you with a troop that does not cause you to lose anything but land, and to not get hit back.

Too busy with school for war, bit I don't feel like giving up right now.

Anyways the one thing I want to say is that I personally took exactly 23,004 arces of land... Which means what I took was less than the amount of land he had without your land... Does that make since? Sorry if it doesn't but I'm tired and I'm going to bed now... by.... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 23,004 ZzZzZzZzZzZZZZZZZzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzz

...
the paying people for land thing is a legit strat ;) one person uses all their turns to gather as much land as possible.. the other takes the land in big chunks, saving them time having to scape it up for themselves.
*laughs*.

This is why Goldfish and Shade does not bother with allies
agreements of avoidance sure

but if they have land.. mine!
*laughs*

top clans ally, independants come along and redistrubute the land
works for some, not so well for others.. happend many times before, I'm surprised yall allied so readily /again/
heh heh.


edit: I'm probably really slow on this, but I just realized l o l is in the word filter, and its replacement is 'laughs'
meh.
Hobbs FTW!

sorry m8 i thought i was doing you a favour by attacking him and sticking up for you... i ahve now built on the land and i need it now *laughs* sorry... i can suggest though you could sell your men and start by attacking some people for land. (if u cant sell enough use that hawk mission thingummy *laughs*) in future i will leave you to attack them back unless they nearly kill you in which case i will try to do something to prevent them from killinbg you.

*laughs* is better. Lugia I think that slasher should keep the land he earned since it wasn't done in a malicious way. He simply saw an opportunity to gain land and power. Any good player attacks if land is available no matter where it came from. If its offensive to you you can declare war on AE and get beaten down... If thats what you want... Though I wish to stay allied with all of Corim. They are AE's closest allys, and I hope it will stay that way.

I just said. I need the land back.

No, I can't sell my entire networth, or I'd be lower ranked than everyone else.
Back. I think.

So, work your way back up. That's what I'd have to do. And if you needed the land back, that's fine. But get it from where it went. You took way more then 4,000 arcers from me. You hit me unprovoked. And you hit me with more then 12 attacks. It's war. Are you with me, members of AE?
