Rude Neighbors

Here is my stance on this topic at hand.

I find starting wars over caravan bumping, caravan destroying, and not liking the person because they talk too much or have a different personality than yours as petty.

Don't sweat the small stuff. Bump, and let bump.

My take on this is that
A- You send your caravans to a node that popped up in map-  not in your city therefore its anyones game. If you keep getting bumped then find another node or get your res per hour to a point you dont need to harvest all the time. Me personally - i no longer harvest nodes as i think the time is a waste since my res production is efficient enough to supply me.
B- If you dont feel like you should go find another node then keep bumping back- or send an army to take out the other players vans. One of you will lose patience eventually and give up the endeavor. I dont see a point in quarreling over a meager amount of resources.
C- Dont think of it as bad neighbors- think of it as - its a game and they are here just like i am. You have one free move and pretty soon even more so take that for granted and move to a happier place that fits you

My observation is that a lot of players come to Illy from games where you have to talk tough to get respect or whatever ... it takes them a while to chill out and get used to the atmosphere.  So a rude response from a new player is probably best met with some mild suggestions about how to make friends and influence people.

Squill is not quite a newbie, I beleive the point of this discussion is to see the communities attitude, as to whether attacking an aggresive newb is acceptable.

So Komo's views are very welcome.

Personnaly I would say that perhaps raiding the city of an aggresive neighbour once or twice as a symbol of what you could do is acceptable in responce to an aggresive mail, going beyond that maybe considered a little harsh.
