Hostile Bidding (Little Upsilon)

This is separate from the hostile bid by Mr. Josef Lenin on KB. I was recently bid on by the player Edwin K on LU of the country "The land of Ed". My normal response in these situations is to count my money and grin. However, due to rampant boredom, I decided, Hey, why not boycott the guy? So given this idea since I can't otherwise harm him behind secured mode or terrorize his slaves behind war levels or drop nukes on his neighbor or take out a bunch of loans and debt bomb him . . . but wait, I CAN'T PUT ONE DAMN BOYCOTT HIM! All I want is one boycott on a pesky noob, just one itty-bitty boycott . . . and I don't get it. WHAT CAN I DO!? I'm bored to tears, you understand, to tears, and I can't BOYCOTT somebody that hostile bid on my corporations. I can't do anything!

THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I just want to be able to do something! in response except twiddle my thumbs.

Can't really blame Tom for that. The real person to blame is on your federation.

@Aaron, I guess so if you wanted to look that far back. Secured mode and it's implications are far less severe than war levels. Let's just be honest and straight forward. By comparison of the two - there is no comparison.

No response from Edwin K, so here was the original message received. reference:

Hello
From: Moldavia
To: Beast Mode
Real Date: 15-12-2010 21:44:10
World Date: August 04 2711
Subject: Hello
Message: Hello, You are receiving this message because you have 1 or more corperations in the land of Ed. There has been a significant policy change in this country. You all have 3 days to move you corperations out of my country. After that the tax will be raised and those company's who are still here will be nationalized. Thank you for your time. Yours truly, Me

*Notice: the country name has recently been changed from "the land of Ed" to "Moldovia".

Two messages were sent directly to that leader at that country, asking to re-consider, etc., and offering help, as well as strongly suggesting some comment on the forum. Thus far, no response anywhere.

Interesting how easy it is to post messages asking for corporations to come, then how difficult it seems to be when you want to nationalize...

Anyways, it's just a risk CEOs take. If you don't want risks, then just build in your own countries...unfortunately, countries don't have the same risks, when in secured mode, and "too new to be boycotted". Probably if some CEO is still upset, the only other option would be some Security Council resolution which Scarlet didn't mention yet as an option.

All active and decently run corporations in my country, the Kingdom of Navamin will be given top priority when it comes to employee distribution and policy. In the very near future, we'll have a surplus of workers and will be looking for more corporate partners. At present, we haven't performed any nationalizations, but if you neglect your corporations or become inactive...we will. If you have an urgent need to move a corporation, send me the important details of your corporation and I'll see if it's possible.

I would like to be 100% clear: the problem is that we cannot boycott him in response, not that he nationalized!

Just to repeat...if you are a CEO and want to move a corporation to Navamin, let me know. We have some openings.

hey, this method is old, but it still works!!!

when they are nationalizing, you can move the corp, countries can not control corps in other countries.

Message: The auction of Brackley Services in Nevrondona Rises ended undecided because no acceptable bid exceeded the current market value of 9973 Million $E

and no, zen did not bid on it

so you do have something you can do to stop it!!!
