wrt attacking weaker players n all, wth, u attack ppl for sport and resources.
If they write back and ask for a break, some ppl leave them be, some others take enjoyment from grinding them to dust. Usually, the latter make a lot fewer friends and crash out of the game quicker unless they keep porting for new prey.
Only time I find attacking weaker players to be 'sick by definiton' is when that army was ill gotten.
And grow up about valley sniping, at least have the guts to take it from ur own acct and invite attack. On occasion, it can be used as a useful tool to aggravate someone u want to beat, making them loose troops. Using alts to swipe is pathetic.
