I must say a "bait" would have, in my eyes, been more respectable. That is what I am pissed off about and I defend my prior statements as they are considered a retort as I am not the primary aggressor!
And regarding not being active in a month, it was a merely 3 days. Not nearly long enough for my long standing "active in the past week" title to change. On a side note, I am sure that Ares can note that my master country next door is ranked #2 in LU (as I am sure he did his fair share of scoping out "worthy" rivals). As well as on a world view, I appear as an experienced and not aggressive empire.
Also, to tell me that I will learn my lesson and to advise me to buy my own country back after he will dismantle it is insulting to me! That is the same as telling someone who is robbed at gunpoint..."you learned your lesson, didn't you!?!"
And back to you, Ares, remember that I did not call

BorderC,
On a side note...my finance rating was once over 285 when I did not purchase weaponry. As I am still learning new things in the game everyday, I have not personally covered the military aspect of the game. While I may have quite a defense, I am still not yet proficient or even familiar with war and I prefer not to stay up all night learning it to fight Ares. And truthfully, from my understanding, this wasn't the war world (call them excuses or not). As unlike a lot of other players, I do not have several empires on several planets and I don't appreciate the possibility of having half of what I own "robbed" and being to told to just..."buy it back and learn your lesson." I'll refrain from using any more namecalling...
I'm of the opinion that what you people think is irrelevant to human nature.
I wonder which opinion weights the must on how things turn... What people think or what people do?
Lets all say our thanks to the Muhammad's cartoons controversy - came from Holland, btw. Kicked what was left of "political correctness" in most circles and restored idealistic elitism and egalitarianism.
To say I or anyone else can't dictate how people play is to ignore this thread and the game news and my previous post. As I said, this community is within Dunbar's number. Follow the rest.

<!-Quote-!>Quote:Dunbar's number is a theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. These are relationships in which an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person.[1] Proponents assert that numbers larger than this generally require more restricted rules, laws, and enforced norms to maintain a stable, cohesive group. No precise value has been proposed for Dunbar's number, but a commonly cited approximation is 150.<!-/Quote-!>

I would like to announce that Chuck Steak's country "AwesomeRuins" is now an official VS member.
Although, he still has to undergo the ritual booing of all teams Philadelphia, we do consider him a full member since he has successfully completed his Laguna hazing period.

Thanx for the definition Samicus.
Laguna,
Dunbar's number does not apply. It may have applied in October 2008, now it does not. When I started playing the game (August 2008, WG) I could attack computer controlled countries and collect weapons, population, and cash. The loot was left over from deregistered countries. There was absolutely no reason to turn the war engine on an active player unless very provoked by that player. Attacking an inactive player risks the possibility that he/she returns and/or has friends. White Giant was saturated with CCCs carrying over 5T cash and I had little difficulty finding CCCs with more than 10T cash.
The game engine changed in November. CCCs no longer have much of anything. At first this was not a problem for the war gamers. There was still an abundance of inactive countries. On the off chance he/she came back just blame the game master and offer to sell the country back. The qua

@ Kevin Henry, and who may these other players be, and why are you singling out Ares and not the other "mislead players"?
I know of a few others who are wreaking havoc on active inactive players. Why are you not threatening them?

Wrong. LDI controls nothing.
LDI is a group of players who are each a sovereign nation.
As such each member plays the game as they see fit.
We have no training academy or forums. We don't have inactive branches of 21 day n00bs. We don't have a command structure. We are not interested in politics. We have no desire to control anyone. We are however poor diplomats and sensit

@ Ares & Community
No war is needed. VS will not fire a shot unless AwesomeRuins is fired upon first. I respect Ares and the fact that he has been open to discussion about this.
@ Sam
Sure! But you first! It seems like we're in agreement...unless you've changed you view?

My slave is decimated...oh well, it's been a burden on me for a long time now...I should thank Ares, but then again...I refuse to thank anyone I absolutely have no respect for...
If you have the gall and are up for a challenge (as I wouldn't call it a rematch since I had no experience nor warning), I encourage you to keep your alias...I'll find you...

Every player plays for different reasons. The game is unstable now for sure. Scarce resources and a changing game environment made to ensure this BUSINESS has the best chance of making money has led to this new reality on LU. We used to be able to make a killing on LU in in actives but not alot now. predation can occur, each player needs to decide if they have the "heart" for that type of play. I find that in most occasions I no longer have the heart to be a predator but I dont fault those who do, still call them friends and would defend them because they are friends. If your gonna prey on players you better be good, have friends, or not care about your own assets because sooner or later you will trespass in the wrong area.
Kevin and laguna tend to be "defenders" and will pick up that banner when they see fit. Thats the reality as I see it from my perspective. If they put a player in VS who happens to be under acute threat
