StA vs S&B

the definition of a cease fire is, " time out, i need more troops"

 

i think most of us are guilty of hypocracy from time to time. we  ( the illy community ) preach how noobs should be protected from aggresive players. while threatening a smaller player with disastrous attacks if they step out of line again. how many of those bullies have in turn been bullied out of the game? yet you justify the latter. there is very little difference.

along the same lines, i see veteran players doleing out resources every day and then wonder why noob alliances pop up and attack each other. maybe if we (the illy community) held back on those resources and forced the noobs to grow slow and appreciate what they have, we would all be better for it.

i know its hard to do, stopping helping the noobs. it makes us feel good and lets face it most of us have more resources than we know whaat to do with. we need to stop just giving. i saw a noob the other day asking for resources wh had a lv 14 storehouse! this is not someone who needs resources. i understand the desire but we need to practice self conttroll.

i know, rich coming from a guy who waited almost 6 months to strike back at his sworn nemesis. in a way though that too was self controll.

which brings me back to the thefts. this noob alliance was begging for resoures daily. then they were crying everytime somebody attacked them with diplos. the community would send more and then more attacks and then more crying. well, i'll tell you this. when you annouce in global what you can hold and somebody tells you when its going to arrive dont be shocked when it gets stolen, especially from a noob as they have no defences. they didnt work for it, they didn earn it. they did nothing and yet they can afford to start an alliance? whose fault is it when they have no respect for veteran players? thier only allegence is to the next provider and when those resources are gone so too is thier loyalty.

thats all i have to say about that.
