Thread: Abusing Holiday Mode

  1. #1

    Default Abusing Holiday Mode

    This is becoming increasingly annoying - people go into Holiday mode not to go on holiday, but to escape attack!
    Recently several members of my alliance adv ported around an enemy, to take her down. They scout, do a couple scoutbombs, and start planning the attack; only to find that the enemy has gone into holiday!
    Yesterday I insta-capped an npc right next to an enemy city (beautiful city... lvl10 ironmines ) and by the time I'd shipped my troops over... he'd gone into holiday too!

    I have no idea when these people will come back. I'm using up a slot for that B10 attack base, without knowing if/when i will need it. Truce is a lame item in my opinion, but at least you know it lasts 12h with a 12h cooldown. This... this could be anywhere between a couple hours to weeks, and I find this utterly depressing... not to mention unfair.

    Thanks to Tsubasa!

    It's not really abusing it, and you can be rest assured that nothing is changing in that city. All you are doing is postponing your attack. Keep an eye on them regularly, don't get too impatient, and you can hit them when they come out. And just think of the money you are costing them to be in holiday mode to escape the doom you are bringing

    it's not like your not going to attack him/her. they will soon run out of alternatives, or coins.. and will eventually be broke lol. THEN you attack them, and watch them cry at your feet

    If I were you, I would be satisfied that someone is frightened enough to want to spend their money just to delay/escape their doom from me

    Ahh, you know he or she is just going to barb it before letting you have it anyway right ? I know I would, when I used to play if I was unable to save my cities from being taken, i'd ship out everything of value left inside then abandon and leave nothing but a NPC behind to be taken.

    "People once believed, that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens, that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes the crow could bring that soul back to put the wrong things right"

    Stop acting like you would have even taken the city much less set foot inside.

    Lame is coming to the forums to whine about someone going into Holiday mode so you cannot attack their city when they aren't even online.
    But....the eternal ray of sunshine REALLY wanted to see you, so I helped brighten your day by removing the city from around you! ^.^

    Lame is putting down a person like that. Lame is coming to the forums just to say that little thing to tell someone off. Lame is not realising that this is general dicsussion and people are free to discuss.. not get told they are lame..

    Stop acting like you actually care, and let people discuss away matters that don't involve people like you being 'lame' and putting people down. This isn't a forum for whineing on other whiners. this is a section of the forums for discussions. This, is not discussing.

    Sorry Ashanta, but maybe your the only whiner here...??

    Ashanta does have a fair point though.

    I'm not going to rule what's lame and what's not, or what's abuse and what's not. Fact of the matter is Truce and Holiday are part of the game and therefore are variables in the equasion to victory. If you can't handle those variables, there can be no victory.
