killjoy123 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 He who hides instead of fights lives to hide another day, right? Charles you have a winning strategy yourself. Sell everything and declare on a bunch of brand new nations without a single wonder, then buy up. throw around some nukes and laugh. OOps, you go to high and someone that can fight your wonders hits you so you turtle and cry. and sell down and hide for a while. Then declare on guys that are under a month old when you can. etc. Now I have a novel Idea. Granted I'm fighting two of MI6s good nations right now (along with someone who is probably unconscious) but how about you buy up and fight me. This is me calling you out. Come fight me Charles. I'll even promise not to nuke for 24 hours :) To the rest of MI6, I like you guys He downdeclares its a problem. You do it, its ok? We had a war where downdeclared, you kicked the shit out of me. But I didnt complain (at least not to you). Downdeclares happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The use of guerrilla warfare is nothing new, and it's not something that will go away either.

Garion Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Let's be honest, downdeclares are one of the very few tactics which grant an advantage to the declaring nation: war is war, not a joust or a duel between knights in shining armor.Most people fight to make their alliance win, not for some self-serving "honor" to be found on the battlefield: the hands of those who brought you in the mud are seldom clear of machination and scheming, be them on the losing or winning side. I never understood the "fair fight" concept so many like to trumpet around during wartime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll even promise not to nuke for 24 hours :) To the rest of MI6, I like you guys  Except I have no nukes.  If you are referring to the war I had with baltus, I am sure he can confirm along with my own alliance mates that I was AFK for most of that round, was barely able to sneak a peak at our forums and wasn't on IRC at all due to various business matters I had going in RL.  Actually, never mind all that. Look at my current war slots and realise how foolish you have made yourself look. Matter of fact, I have one more defensive slot open right now, come pay a visit champ ;)  OOps, you go to high and someone that can fight your wonders hits you so you turtle and cry. and sell down and hide for a while   Additionally this never happened, baltus sold infra to down declare and attack me when I was busy working for a week on an important matter. I didn't sell any infra. Credit where credit is due, baltus nuked my infra and took a good 50m off my warchest. I came back to around 60 ingame messages and about 1.5k infra that baltus had nuked ( I think joe helped too?). I didn't complain, I didn't baw, I just got on with it when I came back because it's war, there is always a bigger fish at the end of the day just around the corner and it was my turn to take the beating.  At the end of the day though, war is war, it's just how it is. As I am sure you know, I have offered to at least 2 of your lower tier members allowing them peace immediately and that no one from MI6 will attack them as long as they don't enter the war after accepting peace. They can remain on the VE AA, don't have to surrender or anything. It's just war champ and nothing personal. I have actually gained a large amount of respect for VE's lower tier members who have constantly fought back, heck, a couple of them and myself (el commander) had a regular avenue of communication going on where I even gave them hints on how to combat nations like mine.  So yeah, good job on acting tough. Hopefully everyone else in VE isn't so "serious" though. :P Edited January 5, 2015 by Charles the Tyrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfW Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I must have misspoke. I have no problem with down declares, it's the thing to do. I have no problem with selling infra to get down to where the targets are. In the top tier you can find yourself with no targets. I don't even have any real problem with MI6 staying snuggly warm in PM.  I do have a problem with an experienced nation with wonders selling all of their infra and other assets to attack a nation that is less than a month old. All I'm saying to him is:  Come at me bro      Oh, yeah to the guy that said I hit him hard in war: I seem to remember you doing a few hard hits yourself -- was a good war Edited January 7, 2015 by WolfW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRD sold off a lot of his infra to hit targets way underteched by him and that is okay but it is not okay for CS to sell some infra to hit targets outmatched by himself? hahahahahahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My chest was looking rather crappy since I had foolishly performed a complete rebuild after the kaskus war and sitting in PM for week after week losing 500k a day wasn't doing any favours for it. Coupled with the realisation that my nation had no nukes or tech and was going to end in the sub bottom tier anyway, I decided to sell most of my infra off and get to the tier I would be fighting at right away instead of waiting for round 2 or 3. That's the thing you aren't getting, my nation as a seller would have been down here in the sub lower tier fighting the same targets eventually anyway. It is a bit harsh on totally new nations, I totally agree, and that's why I've offered repeatedly to a few VE nations stating that if they want out of the war all they have to do is send peace through and agree to not enter the war again. They wouldn't have to surrender or change to a PoW AA, they can just spend the rest of the war growing in peace since no other MI6 nations will attack them. If you really care about these lower tier nations you will take me up on my offer and I will be on IRC later if you want to discuss it. If you would rather have them continue fighting then sadly you are going to have to deal with nations like mine. It's war champ, it's just how it is.

Sweeeeet Ronny D Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I agree with Wolf, but believe it or not I also agree with Charles.  To attack brand new nations with an older developed nation is a bitch move, and I do think there is a difference between down declaring and bullying nations that are brand new.  That being said, I also agree that this is war, and the goal is to win, So as long as you are within the rules, its all fair game.  For example, I have no issues making sure we zero out your warchest, its nothing against you or anyone else in MI6, but I want to make sure that not only are you neutralized in this war, I want to make sure you are neutralized in the next one too. Which is why for a lot of your former mid upper tier with crappy warchests, (I was actually surprised at how many you guys had, and that you let them fight. I guessing the Kaskus war is to thank for that), I have been yelling at my guys to make sure they are doing everything they can to destroy your warchests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
