doom that is truly despicable way to play game. btw camp time attacks to prevent someone from holiday is exploiting game mechanics explicitly to grief a player.. not something to be proud of

I don't usually pollute these forums with my thoughts, but I felt the need to share this:
This is a game, and games are meant to be played for *FUN* - when it stops being fun, it's time to stop playing. It can stop being fun for many reasons, but the main one is because of the people you're playing with.
So far (and I consider myself very lucky), I've meat only honourable and decent players. I've been attacked, lost some and won some, but each time emails have been sent (during and after the confrontations) in the spirit of *a game*, and from the replies from the antagonists, they seemed to have taken it in the same spirit.
I don't mean to come across as being condescending, or to condone your antagonists position (where it me, I'd have been happy to give you a break, then again, I don't like picking on weak players, and tend to email them advice rather than attacking them).
That said, people are different, and this is a game where you play with people who may not be like-minded (this is the anonymous internet after all), and you have to remember why you're doing this in the first place.
Now for me, as soon as this stops being fun, I will stop playing, and I would advise you that if you find you are no longer having fun, then remember why you started playing this in the first place.

Did i say i was proud of it? Im no saint and i dont claim to be, call me whatever you like. I wanted him to port i told him i would make him port and i did... if he wants to share infomation like that with me his loss, and that is precisly my point.
EDIT: in no way does this condone what i did but after he truced 6 days running i got kinda annoyed.

You didn't do anything wrong, Doomsteed.
If smart uses of camp timed attacks were really against the rules, there wouldn't be camp timers. With tornicade's logic building NPC fields to get food is against the rules 'cause that's not what they were intended for.
If I hung a sign on the door of my house saying, "I'm at a funeral for a family member" would that stop someone from robbing me? No, it may actually increase my chances of being robbed. It is only natural, and expected, to seek out and exploit the weakness(es) of your opponent. He would have probably attacked you whether you told him you were attending a funeral or not, and perhaps by telling him you encouraged him to do exactly that. So, I don't think you have any reason to be angry. Just rebuild and fight back. Spend $3 and buy a truce, or spend $30 and buy 10 truces and get a nice chest too.
Teleporters are cheap too (30 cents = $3) .. if it were me being harassed by a neighbor that I couldn't beat or run off I would just move...
Hmmm...I see where you are coming from in regards to the 'personal issues'. However it is the nature of this game to declare war and to colonize if possible. As the other guys have stated, unfortunately there are some people out there that would use 'personal issues' as an excuse over and over again to get out of being attacked. It comes down to whether the attacker wishes to believe that what you are saying is true or not.
Given that none of us know each other from a bar of soap, and are placed all over the world, it would be impossible to know for sure.
My condolences on your loss, it was probably a really hard time for you.
Over-reaction?? From a game perspective...Yes. If he knew without a doubt that what you were saying was true...No.
Why don't we start banning attacks and colonizations...
This is a game and attacks and colonizations are part of the game! You should know this from Day1 !
