Thread: long attacks for annoyance

  1. #1

    Default long attacks for annoyance

    I had always assumed that no honorable player and nobody within the evony staff saw it as a "fair tactic" to use several alts in a BS alliance to send waves of 24-48h attacks at members of a particular alliance.

    But after getting shut down on suggestions, and half our alliance being thoroughly ignored when we send in reports about these players for being alts, for having offensive player names like NiggerLip, or offensive alliance name like ***heads, or for the all-around harassment of our alliance, I give up. So now attempting to open a discussion about the legitimacy of the "tactic"

    For the sake of the discussion we'll assume these are real players, and not a bunch of under 100k pres alts that log in solely to send these "blinkers". Let's assume these players farm, and actively play the game, but just want to be a pain in our sides with an extra city. That is a legitimate tactic? I personally would see it as a low blow but really, for taking away something as key as the blinking bird, should it not be the standard for everyone in an alliance to keep an extra city or two just to send these nuisance attacks to anyone flying a red flag?

    Should there be a method of defense against this or should those subject to it be forced to deal with it and hope the attacker runs out of gold and revolts every time they send a multi-day attack at you?

    Evony community, i come to you for your thoughts on this matter.

    If they're real accounts, that's Evony for you.
    If they're alts, you have a problem. There's an alliance in my server with 11 members, all with one city, close together in same state, similar prestiges, and all players have same name, they're numbered off 1-11 in roman numerals.

    Alts happen, they always will, and regardless of whether people agree if this is a legitmate tactic or not, it won't stop it happening. If these were real accounts, and they were to make this tactic against the rules, how would they be able to stop it?

    Thanks Morgan for the awesome signature and avatar!

    I think it stinks, but it's not something that should be legislated against by the devs.

    Personally I thought valley-stealing was a legitimate tactic to weaken an enemy alliance, rather like destroying an ammo dump or a food column, but it now seems to be against the 'etiquette' of the game, so what do I know.
    I'm not ch3ating but I think my alt might be

    Stealing valley's hasn't been very effective since alt accounts with a sole purpose of feeding people came into being

    valley stealing is for noobs, unless you're hitting their cities too
    alts are for noobs, no excuses

    Long range bird blinking is the tactic of a player who is unable to attack well.

    Moving a city 1 mile from an opponent then flash their bird for three days so you can sneak an attack in, is weak.

    Oh and the post-it-note is only useful if they are far away, 1 mile cities will manage to sneak the hits in more often then not. Though the true answer is to make that city move
