You are right. He is hiding. Hiding in the biggest alliance in the game. And yes needs protection. Thank you for supporting me.

Then how about you respond to me, since I was the one who posed the question to begin with. Does H? truly support large players attacking newbies as long as they are taking part in the tournament?

For example - If H? would truly do "Anything" to win tournaments we would probably have just seige+destroyed cities of the top commanders of our main competitors.

So should all the alliances expect this strategy in the next tournament?

That is the Truth. |
It is true - the word 'morals' does not mean much to us. We tend to steer clear of such subjective frameworks upon which to build our strategies. If you had to pin us down to something though, it would be that we do not believe in attempting to adversely affect people beyond friendly competitiveness within the tournament. And we've always taken a "do unto others what you would have done unto yourself" attitude - as such we always made it clear that we would not hold grudges against people for tournament-centered pvp actions. For example - If H? would truly do "Anything" to win tournaments we would probably have just seige+destroyed cities of the top commanders of our main competitors. But I guess we've come to expect this kind of blatant propoganda from mr "Truth".

The truth is, I am not going to respond to a player that hides in the most powerful alliance in the game. As such can say whatever they want because of this. aka = to a player that does not use their character name in the forums. See what I did there? Kumo, we are doing the same exact thing, you hide in big alliance, I hide my character name. No difference. And back to the quote... Brids wrote that quote, not me... So respond to him.

Indeed. I imagine if I started smashing newbie T? armies there would be a whole different view on the matter. I don't care if large players are attacking similarly larger players but when a large player attacks a much much smaller one, I see bullying no matter which way you spin it. |
Very good point. I still have not read a response to this from H?. And based on experience, most players have a pretty good idea that H? would be very upset if the same thing happened to T?. H? has a history of doing anything they can to win in a tournament. Morals in a tournament is a word that means nothing to them. That is the Truth.

It frankly annoys me that the competition still came down to who had the most/closest stones and thus a chance at getting more than 3 hits per night. On the second last day of the tournament, my armies are still growing faster than the NPCs can kill them and I'm nowhere near the leader board. But at least some intelligence and tactics played an effectual role.

As someone who has benefitted from having multiple stones in the near vicinity, I agree. I believe that for most of us in the lower leagues, though, it has still come down to the strategy of allotment of commander upgrades, use and setup of sov squares, and composition of armies. Patience and persistence have been the other winning factors. Take away any one of those factors, and the advantage of multiple stones would be negated.
As for the initial subject of this thread, I tend to agree that the *unfairness* lies not in the tactic, but in the size differential between the players. However, this is an internal matter for H? to handle (or ignore), and their response (or lack of it) will be for the rest of us to interpret as we see fit.
