"gogete"
Thank goodness no one in the game goes by THAT name.
or kuhan
lmfao. i doubt kuhan has been Pked since last age.
He hasn't
But he's still a noob subject to pk'ing lol
yup exactly what happened to two overdrafted faeries we deep chained. boom 2 pk's.Quote:
0 acres or 0 peasants. PK means province or peasant kill.
most people forget to turn off wizard drafting.
lol. thats just sad. why did you bother to chain a faery out of curiosity? damn imagine all that sci lost?
Because chaining faeries is...
1. Win
2. Fun
3. Hilarious
and with no hospitals and uber expensive leet...hee
is 160 opa after releasing even anything out of the ordinary? :S I'm sorry but last war I had at least 300 sendable opa when being chained... And I am no cleric, don't even know why cleric would be better at having a huge army at 200 acres. I'ts not like I'm not gonna have more ogres then max pop when being chained, even if I'm no cleric.Quote:

thumbs up and +1 for ^ :D
I think that my KD might have PK'd someone in our last war... Wasn't even a deep chain though :\
I have seen people just rage delete after getting four or five hits in quick succession. Could have just been that if it wasn't a hard chain.
His province was replaced with another one before I logged in after the start of the chain though, so I don't think that that was what happened.
Weird. Wonder if he was doing some insane stuff like running a 90% draft.
We only knocked him down to ~50% his original size:-337 acres: D&C (5/7) Guess that he must have had a high draft. Only took 7 hits though.
We peasant killed a province. He lost 80% of his land an had a high draft rate.
Had to revisit the news.
His army was sitting at home right after getting chained. He didnt log in to send them back out. 2 attacks into him right before tick an he died when the hour changed.
Definitely goes to show that getting PKed due to a missed login is very possible, I'd even say likely. If you know you're the chain target, either make sure to be active, or have the decency to just delete yourself so your KD can get someone who can handle such things. On the other hand, PKing a hyperactive in war is nearly impossible, unless they were doing some goofy stuff like what Ord and I were talking about.Quote:

Dont waste time trying to PK someone, you can effectively disbable them from the war enough that they are a non-factor anyways.
If they refuse to release offense and are sitting on only land defense, then maybe go for it? sure have everyone raze them and small guys quad TM them, IF hes offline perhaps you can count on 1 tick of over-pop plus some kidnappings to PK him.
if you can PK someone, do it.......making someone start again mid war is a big plus whether there a good or bad player, 3days of protection when they restart. they are finnished for the rest of the war.....also i think if you are PKed you cant start again for 24hrs right:? if so thats 4days your opposing KD is down a province
we've PK'd 2 provinces in our current war so far. It is definitely doable. We just sent spare off on them, and as they were army locked, well.... poof. And btw, they started right away the next time they logged in, which is definitely less than 24h from which they were PK'd.
Good to know. I was fairly sure that a PK resulted in an instant 'do-over', but thanks for confirming it.Quote:

pretty much, so we felt like Pking some provs for giggles cuz we can
Some people just don't know when to give up. I wouldn't be shocked if they gave it another day or two of being farmed then sent an MP...then got all offended when they got laughed at.Quote:

what's there to see? lol, they think I care that they'll war me until EoA. When you've won back to back crowns, nothing else really matters in this game. We'll use their kd to even out our spread and have fun pking them. I'm sure they tried a lot harder getting their elites that they lost, than I did playing this game.
It makes for good /facepalm material. Determination paired with poor judgment always make for amusing reads. It's what defines ghetto warfare...you did say you were running a ghetto this age, right? ;)
yea, they think i care about a silly WW at this level.
I think it is possible to get a province down to the point where the person running it just 'chucks in the towel' yet i am not sure and i haven't yet seen a province be traditional marched and or razed into nothingness.
my kingdom is currently at war and we have smashed the enemy monarch from 700 acres down to 370 or so - funnily enough he offered a mutual peace agreement :-) however we were only getting between 10 - 20 acres each hit due to the gangbang rule (which isn't as exciting as it sounds) i think it would be very difficult to totally PK a province.
I think you mentioned somewhere you just started this age. But yeah, most kingdoms don't utilize PK in war because it requires extra planning/knowing what you are doing and monitoring of the province you are PK'ing over several ticks. The procedure may also involve hits that end up taking small acres (as you noted) that end up as wasted hits in a normal war because of the opportunity cost associated with such hits.Quote:

Precisely. As I said, PKing a hyperactive is nearly impossible, unless you catch him while sleeping, and none of his KDmates have a phone number for him or something.
Wait...I just realized something...you said GOT soldiers. Am I to understand that instead of releasing a small part of his army to avoid being PKed, he asked for soldiers from someone else...while being chained...thereby not really solving his problem at all? O_o
army might have been out still.
getting aided soldier to realease is a good idea. i too found myself in this postition. when your an undead at 200 acres the last thing you wanna get rid of is your ghouls. if you can get some soldier to keep in peasantry till your land comes in will keep you attacking, and keep the attention on you, and lightweight keep you a contender. ive seen undead get chained down and they release their ghouls to keep their wizzies and thieves and d spec... poor fools were done before they even started... you say not helping the problem at all? well realistically if a kingdom takes you down by chain chances are they arent going to let you up. imo the best thing you can do at that point is do your best to contnue to deal damage, and drag them down. unless maybe if you have a bit of land coming in and your kingdommated can super bomb you after some hits, maybe you could boost back up. but that seems highly unlikelyQuote:
