mmm, a fight that extends to the barbs, it would seem :lol: < yeah i read your reason >
However its interesting that not many who BD (as opposed to other tribes) target tend to put up a fight (not talking about bloodhood here).
What, are we the luckiest people around that we unfailingly always manage to pick targets that had exams or couldn't be online or was quitting or was semi active or wasn't really interested in the world anyways or stubbed their toes and couldn't log in or something akin to that ?
I'm not saying that their lying or trying to cover for just not being very good, but how come almost all of the people we attack just roll over and lose villages (few exceptions we've verbally recognized here) ?
I won't presume to claim something like individual Ham players rethink their motivation to play W30 when seeing incomings from BD, but there are ways to put up a fight even if your tribe has other (and less pressing when compared to BD - cause face it, if a tribe is under attack by BD, CRY and Draco, then it doesn't really take a rocket scientist to figuere out who you should worry about more) concerns - sniping, renobling, etc - which we have barely seen an inkling off yet.
Whats the excuse for that ?
In case of Soulja, yeah you can claim he was planning to quit, that he was in a bad location, etc, etc but thats only a good excuse for losing villages.
Its not an excuse at all for not even trying to fight or make life difficult for his attackers.
Even if a player is doomed and on the verge of quitting, he can go down swinging and make his villages as expensive in terms of troops, dead nobles and frustuation to his attackers as possible.
Thats the sort of player that earns the respect of even his enemies.
Unfortunately we have not dealt with that sort of player from Ham yet. I hope perhaps we will in the future.
