Venom4Viper Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 i believe the only reason to surrender is if you get bill locked and there are chances your nation will get deleted cause of bills growing every day....other then that there is no other reason for a surrender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the OP, it sounds as if your heart was in the right place, and that you acted in a manner to protect your alliance from further harm. From the posts already made, I hope you can see that what has happened is the opposite of what you intended. In future, discuss such moves with your (future) alliance colleagues. Also from what some MHAians have said, that alliance could well be MHA. Either way, good luck (and don't break your surrender terms).

[/quote] Me. We sent him surrender terms first time threatening him if he didn't surrender he'll be nuked daily. He ignored our first message. After 25hrs I sent him a glowing message followed with our surrender terms. He did not ignore this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrideAssassin Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Much respect to MHA for the way they handled this. Samus... Samus... Shaddup. Don't mind Samus. He's only 13. Damn boy-kings. Next time you wanna surrender, do what I do and surrender to the sweet siren call of bloodlust. Friends>infra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando12 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) [quote name='Floatsam' date='17 February 2010 - 02:02 AM' timestamp='1266393741' post='2187309'] There may be some irked members of the MHA because of your surrender, but nobody is going to throw a fit over it. The main sentiment is that you did something entirely unnecessary. Also, remember that you aren't precluded from rejoining, but you should be prepared to explain your actions should you reapply. [/quote] I think he pretty much stated his reasoning in his OP. If he's given the opportunity to correct his mistake now that it has been explained to him, MHA has a good member to work with. Yes, he should have asked for help and advice on what to do before surrendering. But a mistake is only a bad mistake when one does nothing to correct it. [quote name='Delta1212' date='16 February 2010 - 07:49 PM' timestamp='1266371341' post='2186643'] The reason surrendering hurts your alliance is that the damage you would have taken if you had remained fightng will get moved over to other people in the alliance who were already taking their own damage. So in effect, remaining in the fight even when outmatched [i]does[/I] help because it keeps other people from becoming even more outmatched than you are.

The Ultimate 747 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Really? Those who are publicly ridiculing someone for making a misstep that is A) relatively insignificant in the grand scheme of things and B) clearly borne not out of adverse motivations nor a lack of allegiance, but simply a lack of prior knowledge of the way surrender is viewed and treated in this game, should be mildly ashamed. I was surprised to see this kind of response on MHA boards and I'm annoyed (though not even slightly surprised) to see it here.
