Poseidons Rage Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 A Public Service Announcement from The Silent Majority In the world of Bob, technology is a resource that can be bought or stolen. There are nations in Bob that believe when it comes to gaining technology, might makes right and stealing technology is just as valid as earning it themselves. To those nations, I would like to introduce myself. I am, Poseidons Rage, ..... Lord of the Sea Though obvious to those reading this post, I may as well be Land-mine #14 . I am one of many who was recruited by a group of righteous nations in order to disrupt the status quo of technology raiders. If you haven't yet, please take a look at my War Slots You may notice that I am being tech raided, by a spineless thief in the night who resides within the borders of Phrygian. The citizens of this nation were not aware of what awaits them when they started their war machine. What these citizens are now well aware of is that they have inadvertently stepped into what can aptly be described as a nuclear mine field. The first nuke hit at 12:49 server time and only makes up for a small portion of what has been stolen through out the years of tech raiding that has been all too common on Bob. I leave you with this thought: if a group of elite nations decided to set up a nuclear minefield for technology raiders, how many mines do you think they could set up with reserve funds to meet the requirements for the Manhattan Project in 19 months and counting? PS, I recivied this well written alliance invation, To: Poseidons Rage From: Thunder Strike Date: 7/31/2009 7:48:44 AMSubject: Are you Random and Insane? Message: Hey!

kulomascovia Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hmm. That's not a bad idea. Collect money through tech deals and back collecting taxes, step into none for a day in war mode (I guarantee that you'd be hit) then nuke your raiders. How long did it take you to save up all that money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Ice Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I agree. Techraiding is terrible, and I have always considered going "none" and just destroying the first person to techraid me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Serbitar Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 A Public Service Announcement from The Silent Majority I should think, now that you've spoken, that you are no longer a member?

Yggdrazil Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) Tech raiding is theft,pure and simple, and as such should be condemned.I have never done it.Anything that disrupts this abhorrent practice is great.I salute you Poseidon's Rage and your Elite righteous backers.

Groucho Marx Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) Despite being a tech raider myself, I like this solely because that guy never knew what he was getting into.

Locke Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I like this. I like it a lot. I've always had an anti-raiding stance, and it's good to see one get their comeuppance. I mean, talk about your tech raid going bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinousOne Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 A pretty industrial use of time during the war. I figure this took about three to four months to prepare for depending on how many aid slots you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astronaut jones Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 You just advertised that you have a 191 million dollar warchest, and you're unaligned, and that you're going to nuke. 1) nukes run out quickly with SDIs 2) Money is a strong determining factor when chosing raid targets, and you made yourself a little more appetizing, believe it or not, by advertising that. 3) Land is what big nations are after most.. So long as they get their land, a little loss of infrastructure and tech is worth it, considering they'll soon knock you down themselves. Good luck either way.

Diogenes Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 If a raider actually cares that he's being nuked, then he deserves to be. It's interesting to see you fighting fire with fire, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
