attacking over a reprobe is a bit sensitive i have to agree

anyways i dont know the underlying issues, but to me Spiff never showed bad sportsmanship , and i did hit him a few times for a lot of TD considering the little resource profit.

yeah. so far what i seen from this thread elms attack was just to be a doosh for no resin. but given the little history i followed with this guy in standard. it is as expected

OK OK. I did talk to this guy, and still dont want to talk to this guy. Me send a MD to his moon was just to flex my fleet. Like I said, I was going to turn around. But I dont like for people to just talk to me just any old way so when I got the message. I just let the MD go throw. If he want to talk like a dummy that can do something. Then I will show him a little. I have not hit or probe him since because I got my point across because after that day. He has not probed me once. So I ended up getting what I wanted. As for chish. I wanted to know when I talked to you so that you could "know me" ?

come on fellas lets all just settle down and eat some fruit.

You're right Xeres, it has become a bit of a tempest in a teapot, I admit. So I'm going to purge myself in one last post, to completely explain my side of the story.

First, on reflection upon rereading my message to 666 I admit it comes across as excessively snarky when considered alone, and in fact I had almost decided to apologize for that, but when I reconsidered the full sequence I changed my mind again because I felt the same gut reaction again that caused me to send that message in the first place.

There is a short back story to this topic. A few days prior to the exchange which is the subject of this post, I logged on to find 666 had probed me, so I probed him back. I do not know the interval between his probe and mine because I didn't bother to check. The next time I logged on I found that he had RIP raided one of my planets, which was fine (shrug, what are you going to do?) As Crushbone posted, he has RIP raided me 3 or 4 times and I just let it be. It's a war game and that's part of any war game, so that didn't upset me. BUT, 666 also left a taunting threatening message "what to spy me again?", which DID irk me. A threat AND a dare combined in one- how can a Spaceman resist? It is because of the tone of this message that my message was so sarcastic. But I decided to wait until he probed me again, which he did on Saturday which resulted in this topic.

Now to critique the specifics of my message:''

"OH NO!!!" is actually a pun on the name of the planet from whose moon 666 was attacking (although, admittedly, it's actually "Oh No!!!!")

"I'm so scared" seems an appropriately mocking response to an attempt at intimidation. I've always had a reflexive contrariness to bullying attempts. It's served me well at times ...sometimes not .

"Mr. SensItive" I've already commmented on this.

"Hope you enjoy wasting your time" I'm just wishing him well...okay, okay I was still being sarcastic, but he WAS wasting his time. I wasn't using the moon because I know all too well from past experience how unsafe it is to rely on a moon for safety, especially a small moon, since anyone with a much larger fleet can easily pop them anyway. I'm a miner now and my main safety tactic is to keep my fleet small so it's not WORTH attacking.

Okay, I think I have purged myself on this topic, so I hope and intend this to be my last word on it, because I think I've said everything I can say on it. As of now, this is water under the bridge for me (unless someone else says something really provocative to stir it up again). If 666 finds it to be to his benefit to attack me again at some point, that's cool, that's the game, but please do it without the taunting 666.

Indeed this is an attack war game. And there will be flamming. And you know that when I attacked you befor you had your fleet on the planet. Thats why I have attack. You can ask most people that when they are online and send me a message, I uselly recall. Because its a waste of time to attack. If you would have come across like this. I would have never popped your moon. Best of luck to you Space. And to let you know I only spy people who pop up on the ranks and bruteforce . But other then that. I leave people alone for the most part that dont have fleets.

P.S. Just playing Brute.... I think
