Deal with it. [/quote] Actually, a tech raid is attacking somebody with the intention of stealing tech/money/land. Not sure that's really that subjective.

Stuff like this happens on none and you should know so why you complaining, tech raids and war training will always happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xR1 Fatal Instinct Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 [quote name='relyt92' timestamp='1303277417' post='2694391'] I have also been banned from #gotham, despite not using any foul language or insulting anybody, the same cannot be said for Helena however. For somebody who seems so set on their path, you sure don't like me being able to communicate with you. [/quote] It's their IRC channel... Not yours. You have several ways of contacting her, In-game, Query, etc. Also now that tables have turned on you and you're on the receiving end of the attacks you don't like it?

Joseph Black Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Unless you completely abstain from raiding of any kind, taking issue with Gotham's approach to this issue is at best hypocritical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Except it isn't raiding. Lets be clear everyone. If you consider it a tech raid, the defending nation needs to have some essential things: 1. soldiers to attack 2. tech to steal 3. land to steal All this talk about "war training" isn't going to excuse anything either. The only possible thing that a nation would need help training for in CN war is ground attacks. You can't exactly do that with no soldiers. Everything else is pressing buttons, but I can see the little skill needed in determining deployments and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyment is as much a reason for raiding as the profit is if not more of a reason. Thats specifically why I didn't say tech/land/money raid. I said raiding of any kind, that would include raiding for pure amusement. I didn't make the point to defend Gotham, I made the point that many including the recipient of the raids, are hypocrites because they themselves take part in this very same activity, and had the tables been turned would be jeering at the raided, and enjoying the suffering they were causing.

[/quote] That's just not even close to true. Many alliances allow tech/land raiding. Forced recruitment is pretty much universally condemned though. Apparently a satisfactory resolution has occured, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Forced recruitment isn't present here (Unless that was admitted to, which I'm unaware of), thats only what is being spun out of this. The individual could have easily joined any alliance, to get him out of the raid. Unless raiding in all cases or None is off limits to raid, than the individual was experienced enough to know he ran the risk of being raided. And I agree, I'm glad to see it resolved.

[/quote] The rest of the thread is mostly a series of monotonous attempts to change the subject or apply enough spin to crack a brain. Anyway, good to see it was fairly resolved. Sad to see some people refuse to acknowledge the lesson learned though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoMutantAllowed Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Gotham is terrible at public relations, so bad I'm ashamed to be a member now. I think this was a big coincidence but I wouldn't know for sure. I don't think Helena would ever force recruit and if she did this is the first time she has. Force recruiting doesn't even work anyway, you would have to be stupid to do it for reasons like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
