[quote name='Haflinger' timestamp='1283704796' post='2442687'] So you claim it is just a coincidence that you only attack alliances that happen to be diplomatically isolated? Possible. Good luck for you if it's the truth then. [/quote] Hem, I ignored alliances like Argent were "diplomatically isolated", or even NPO. Like Sigrun, I'm tired of the usual generalizations about unaffiliated rulers, though I couldn't develop my thoughts any better. Isn't going rogue the ultimate way to free yourself from the political game created by the elite players? Being told that I am under the influence of these same players when I've *finally* become a lone wolf is frustrating to say the least. But thanks, same to you.

[QUOTE=Haflinger]rogues [...] attack their targets without regard to their position in global affairs[/QUOTE] Partially correct. I won't pretend to know about other rogue motives, but I've attacked my three initial targets for reasons that were as various as they were personal. You might want examples: -Revenge unrelated to "global affairs" -Give satisfaction to a mate -Vague remembrance of said target to be an unpleasant chump.

I believe wicked is arguing that the OP is more looking for consideration rather than to improve rogue hunting rules. OP knew that, for many raiding alliances, the official stance on this would be "lolno". It seems to me that Otter isn't some naive newbie... He has the mileage of an experienced attention whore.

[quote name='Arcades057' timestamp='1283372954' post='2438468'] Interesting is one way of looking at it. I like to lose miserably a few times, do things all out of order to get your guard down, block a few nukes with my infrastructure, and then....... Something something. [/quote] I never let my guard down in a foursome.

[quote name='Arcades057' timestamp='1283344617' post='2438139'] Also sup Salmacis. Hope you enjoyed my massive fail on the 1st night (forgetting to decom Border Walls and buy Guerrilla Camps = not very smart). [/quote] Hi Arcades, I'm pleased that you attacked me, you were in my list of potential targets for second round! Also, yep, a huge mistake, but you made up for it with your update DoW. I was... so... close... I hear you have some interesting fighting skills. You can count on me to raise dramatically your casualties. See you tonight.

[quote name='William Bonney' timestamp='1283293513' post='2437488'] [Facepalm] [/Facepalm] [/quote] Heh I was fooling with silentkiller in my first post. At least I'm honest with my intentions, you'll give me that! I'm aware that I should go on IRC, but... Thanks.

[quote name='Baldr' timestamp='1283289425' post='2437406'] You attacked them, you are nuking them. You have a WRC and 7900 tech, so your nukes do a lot of damage. Therefore you can't possibly pay enough reps to come anywhere close to repairing the damage. [/quote] I figured, but even if I could never compensate the damage done, I thought maybe a symbolic gesture would appease them. [quote]And you are crying because they are fighting back. "OMG, they are fighting back, that means I'm on a PZI list! They shouldn't fight, they should let me pay some reps! OMG, no fair!".[/quote] Are you exagerating because you thought you were funny or do you actually believe one word of what you just typed? If it's the latter I'm worried about you man :/ Just to be clear I'm not panicking or crying. My main goal right now is to go to peace mode to resplenish my nuclear stockpile, select good targets (preferably NPO/Legion nations with low warchests or infra huggers) and start over. They can fight back all they want, but if I can avoid being staggered to achieve that then I'll be happy, if not I'll live with it. @wickedj: Admit it already!

[quote name='silentkiller' timestamp='1283285477' post='2437325'] Seeing as we are not at war with each other I can not possibly give you peace. [/quote] Yeah. Hem, aaaanyway, I assumed that I was on P-ZI! Thanks for the info. I don't want peace right away, but it's good to hear! I tried to ask someone in your ranks but he ignored my (legitimate don't you think?) request to know more about my status.

[quote name='silentkiller' timestamp='1283270099' post='2437102'] pzi list? What are you smoking? [/quote] Ok then. I want peace now please! Thanks a bunch!

[quote name='Haflinger' timestamp='1283268109' post='2437079'] Most nuclear rogues are not leaving Planet Bob. Peace mode is how they get into their next alliance; they find one of the alliances like Kronos that takes in rogues and dare the attacked alliance to launch wars on them once they come out of dove. [/quote] Oh, interesting! But if I want my name off the P-ZI list, I'd rather pay some reps or do any humiliating chore they might come up with. I want to play it fair. But if they won't let me... The Puppet guy seemed to be cool too. And there's Dankbud. Ok, food for thought, thanks for the tip Haf.

[quote name='Jesse End' timestamp='1283263284' post='2437012'] Rogue attacks alliance = just having fun [/quote] I never said that. It is detrimental for other players, some of them even cry about their infra, that's precisely I why was calling nuke rogues "immoral" (for the lack of a better word). [quote] Alliance retaliating with staggered DoWs = trying to force someone out of the game.[/quote] Wrong again. I never said you were actively trying to [OOC]force people out of the game[/OOC], I was merely pointing out that it is what a stagger generally accomplishes in the facts.

[quote name='Haflinger' timestamp='1283254072' post='2436944'] Most rogues are just trying to get their attacks in and then duck to peace mode. You're an unusual case. [/quote] I disagree. Peace mode is only useful to resplenish a nuclear stockpile. Most nuclear rogues will prefer to spend their last dongs in nuking their foes than by staying idle in peace mode. Stagger does speed up the process, right, but I believe a rogue in P-ZI will get what he deserve eventually, whether he can escape to peace mode every now and then or if he's staggered. It is not my case, 'cause I'm stubborn, but a staggered rogue will delete more often than a rogue living with the hope to hit PM. In other words staggers are just as immoral as nuclear rogues, if not more. At least I never wanted Otter or NPO out of Planet Bob.

Ohh caps are coming :v

[quote name='Aeternos Astramora' timestamp='1283207401' post='2436187'] If he violates his word and basic respect, then I will use whatever means necessary to get what I want from him. [/QUOTE] [I]You[/I]'re giving lessons about basic respect? And fyi, rogues are supposed to be deceiving, they don't follow some sort of moral code. I felt pity when you called me a "!@#$%^&" for a few hundreds infra levels. Your whining nature wouldn't have gone public if you didn't make a fuss about this small matter. You rewarded my lenience by a hammering of questions about the alleged responsible for your loss of precious pixels. You brought drama to innocents to boast, but nobody cares, and the - temporary - results of this poll clearly proved that you overestimate your importance and that perhaps you could find a better way, a sane way to make people talk about you.

Tired of raid targets that CM/nuke/etc... you? Want a profitable raid? Salmacis of La Farlede is the tech raid target you've been looking for! In seven days, ten seconds past update time, free tech could be [I]yours[/I]! Three good reasons to raid La Farlede: 1) La Farlede low infrastructure facilitates GA victories. 2) Obedience to Legion may cause: Self-loathing, irreversible loss of pride and hydrocephalus. 3) The OP might whine about another failed stagger, for your entertainment and mine.

Reliable tech buyer! Send the tech first, get your money 10 days after. e: Full.

[quote name='Vivi' date='05 March 2010 - 01:39 AM' timestamp='1267753386' post='2214357'] Try updating to the newest version of Chrome and/or clearing your cache. [/quote] Oh right... I should've started with that... I did both and it's working! I'll never know which one caused this! Thank you heaps Viv!

I know my password and I make sure to type the code "as I see it". But after three (failed?!) attempts, I'm redirected to the "Forgot your password?" screen, where I type the e-mail adress I entered when I created my nation... But this is the message I get: "You have received an error trying to view a page. Here is the detailed error code: You did not enter the validation code correctly." I did! Over 15 times! D: I try to log in on Firefox, everything's fine... Any clue what's going on?

Was I dealing with an alliance that didn't exist? Have fun BMv2.

[quote name='Fighter26' date='24 February 2010 - 10:13 PM' timestamp='1267049842' post='2202090'] When in dowbt, check the CN index [/quote] Oh... Well that's embarrassing! I could've sworn it wasn't there last time I checked! But thanks a lot!

Another question related to Moon/Mars wonders. What is the amount required to relocate your Mars Mine? Your Moon Mine? The CN index says something about a fee... However I can't find any concrete number!

Better luck next time. It's a promise. Indeed. MDP with Polaris. You activated your oA clause, so we were legally bound to jump in... Also hi timmehhh! Sorry about that... It sucks to peace out without retaliating.

You're out of range! And seriously, "Mwanatabu"? Not "Hoost Hoorfer" or "Van der Dutchlink"? I want the real thing, sorry.

I don't need to look up who your opponent was... I KNEW I should've taken two targets. huzzah for peace and thanks for the 380 land, FOK!
