Don't say that too loudly, death might knock on your door :O

I disagree with the assessment of the three types of playstyles of the day... I wasn't around for the "dawn" of the game, but I'm a healthy 8-9 months old with a nice fleet (that has been running scared recently lmao)... I'm ranked around 150th or so and myself and pater (also with a very similar sized fleet...or at least he used to lol) were dueling a couple months ago before I went on vacation, so these fights between similar fleet sizes actually does still happen, it usually isn't "profitable" though (see the battle between elmstreet and rava on the standard server...240m TD in a clash between the 2 biggest fleets that ended in a tie and perfectly even losses for both) which is why fleeters pick on people who are smaller. I don't ever probe people who have more points than me... they will obviously have me outmatched so why would I bother wasting my time (and probes) with them? It is just not worth it to pick fights with people stronger than you :O

Hmm someone might want to pass that on to slickcharm..return attacks to avenge my 6 attacks would have been cool and warranted..the nuke fest he got in just brought me back to stay until he has no defense left on any planet

I'm not too awfuly worried. Sure, I get my fair share of probes, but everyone knows that I don't have a fleet to hide that they can catch...and I always spend my resources. Why someone would want to crash themselves into on of my shells, I have no idea.

You should always be too overconfident in this game. Points do not show strength. You should feel to yourself that nobody can stop you unless you let them. Why not probe people with more points than you? Some of the best farms I have ever had over the months had more points than me (lordvider, rjsturgil, etc). Probe everyone, regardless of tag, rank or name.

I will keep that in mind and try my luck on it. For two long years I play and stay lay low under radar, thats why I still low and grow slow.
