    I'm probably going to lose Roadblock soon. I just sent a very irritated missive to the head of Panther about their lack of tact - PANTH T is still allied with us yet one of their number just attacked my oasis (failing miserably, but still). I at least plan to make it painful to take if it's going down :mean: I was basically saying I was trying to be reasonable, but I'm going to start retaliating against raids.

    Muggle replied with an apology, saying he had been away from the game for two weeks due to poor health. He isn't sure what happened but wishes to remain allies. I'm of course pursuing.

    I've sent a message to the head of PANTH T to highlight their member's actions and insinuating I was replying via text rather than with catapults only in the name of good diplomacy. :mean:

    Phew! Glad that worked out.

    I got myth guys, Zero guys and PANTH guys all around me so hopefully I won't get smeared off of the map.

    He attacked me again, I replied with

    Can you please just leave my villages alone? Do you have nothing better to do than to terrorise virtual villages on your computer for hours on end? Even when they ask you to stop? If this is some pathetic attempt to make yourself feel big for things you are lacking in real life, you're REALLY not doing a good job. If you're a jerk in real life, you're being a jerk right now. Do you think that being able to attack a village that can't defend itself makes you big? If so then you are VERY wrong and should really reconsider your life and things you think are important. Hope your citizens burn,
    Love from
    Harudath


    EDIT: Spending the remaining 5 building spots on crannies. He's not getting **** from me.

    lmao thank you for your nice message i really appreciated it. If you did`nt know already then i feel it`s my place to explain this game to you. This a game of war not Sim city & you are a farm to me, all i wanted was your Resources that`s how the game is played most of the time, but as you seem to think by sending me a message like that i think it`s time to introduce you to the other side of the game.

    happy Zero pop

    Well I thought that by sending you a message, you'd see this I AM a person with a life, unlike you who seems to think that being able to attack a village that is smaller than you repeatedly makes you "uberl33t". Whether this is the only game you are "good" at *cough* or whether it's the only one that you choose to play, I don't know- but don't think for one SECOND that attacking me will get you anywhere. I'd rather destroy my warehouse to stop you getting anything than let you get even ONE thing from me. I hope you feel big, hugs and kisses
    Harudath

    P.S. I hate you.

    After looking at the "7 attacks incoming" icon, I'd say I'm in deep poop. I'm sending what I can away to you guys.

    Q- incoming resources :tongue:

    MAN did you provoke him. :rolleyes:

    I'm sorry to say this, Harudath. You deserve everything coming to you. I'm betting you will have no buildings left by the time he finishes. This is the way the game goes. Some are REALLY gun-ho others are not. This is a bully that takes your lunch money under the threat of beating you up. Calling him out just made him prove he can beat you up.

    I will message him and try to patch things up so this doesn't spill over to our entire alliance.

    Lord Draggs,

    Our young (and inexperienced) Lord Harudath hath overstepped his bounds. The {IC} Alliance has reprimanded his childishness. His Message was inappropriate and unnecessary. As a personal ally of Lord Fourstar and receptor of his kindness, I fully understand the value of friends. Lord Fourstar has defended me and suffered the loss of good Zero Troops. The Royal court understand the cost of doing business and realize that some "farming" is to be expected.

    Please accept this apology from {IC} on behalf of Harudath. He will NOT be allowed to conduct business such as that again without being farmed by us. Royal blood is think, but not that thick. Not that we could raise fear in one so powerful as you and Zero, we have no plans on retribution for your attack.

    Again, our apologies, Lord Draggs.

    - Lord Seneschal QCH

    I apologised to him too, I just... flipped I guess :( Sorry to you too, guys :bawling:

    Draggs has no ill will towards the {IC} Alliance. Harudath.... well, that is still to be determined. He has the power to smooth things over... or become a smudge... his call. :D



    OK, everyone. This thread title is dead on... DIPLOMACY. You suck up to the big boys. You bow, you use sweet words, you kiss their ring, and smile. When the time is right, we will ALL rise up and take what is ours. A huge part of this game is diplomacy. The alliance can step in and help in many cases but you all have to take some initiative and extend the Icrontic way.

    Not that I want too, but we CAN boot you if things you do jeopardize the entire alliance. Don't confuse that with cutting you loose just to better ourselves. We will stick up for each and every one of you if you follow Icrontic Alliance's mantra... LIFE. It's about BEER, about STYLE, and about other awesome things!

    Thank you for the apology & i accept it.
    But as for a truce i will have to think about it, i`m sure my reply to qch2002 has either been posted on your forum or forwarded to you. If you had sent the right message to me asking to stop attacking you I might have stopped, ask Broady i stopped attacking him & i also stopped someone from trying to take over his village. I will contact you later about whether i`ll accept your truce & if i do what the terms will be....

    The first message I ever sent to him was me politely asking him to stop -_-

    I didn't post his reply. I wanted Haru to extend his apology first without knowing the ramifications... His message was as follows:
    Hiya qch2002

    Thank you for your message i appreciate it, but i would like an apology from Harudath i think it only appropriate that he apologises to me himself. I don`t hold anyone else responsible for his actions but i think giving him a bloody nose is appropriate, I will refrain from further attacks on him, but if i don`t recieve an apology i will continue to lvl his villages so the ball is his court atm, i will still farm him or i might demand that he pays me 2hrs of res aday i`m not sure yet.

    I thank you again for your kind message & i hope you enjoy the game :)

    Well, I've evacuated almost all my resources, but I have a feeling my palace won't be level 10 any more when I log on tomorrow. I did apologise, and he said the apology was accepted, yet neglected to cancel the attack :tongue:
  • QCHQCH Ancient Guru Chicago Area - USA Icrontian
    edited March 2008
    The attack can only be aborted within the first few minutes after it was launched. He couldn't cancel them if he wanted... :(


    As a point of reference to my fellow {IC} Alliance members. This is the kind of letter I sent to keep the three big baddies that plagued me early in this game.
    Dear Lord (Insert Name),

    My poor villagers are threatening to throw me out or, worse, burn me in the village square for allowing you to attack us. I tried to explain that the world is not fair but the stupid farmers and miners have no idea that there places beyond the horizon. They discuss treating you as a god and offer me as tribute or killing me because I must be accepting bribes from you... I DO have a nice palace that they cannot fathom how I could afford.

    With that being said, could we work out an arrangement as to allow you some advantages and I keep my neck? I ask this as you humble servant...

    Lord Q
    (The soon-to-be Headless)

    Worked with each of them... now fourstar is an ally. That's also how I was asked to join JatoUK's alliance. Funny, mature, and playful.

    He let me off the hook, although I'm still going to get my face ripped off in precisely 2:04:55 h from posting this. Q, could you check on my village if you're up at that time?
    Thank you, this is most merciful of you :) I shall ensure that the villagers raise a flagon of mead in your name in the celebration of the truce! Your kindness shall not be forgotten... Farewell, and good luck :)
    Yours humbly,
    Harudath

    I'm starting to attack some villages in my general area. I've been careful to make sure I'm not lining up attacks against people with alliances that can do much to fight back, but I though I'd give you guys a heads up. I've already had a few successes (you can see under alliance/attacks)! I'm still testing the waters on a few other potential villages though. The next week or so should be really fun! :rarr:

    Everyone I'm attacking has a population similar to or smaller than my own, and I've done some scouting to make sure I'm not sending my troops into a slaughter. The alliances (for those that have them) have leaders whose villages are similar population to my own. I'm not expecting any resistance. :wink:

    I posted a cool tip regarding the "Big Picture" map webpage. It has historical info regarding town populations for the past 5 days. A great way to see if a user is done playing or doesn't play much
