Republic of Octobrev - Double Hostile w/ Strippers & ghetto

[Nanka]

I am reminded of an expression my old law professor used to use; you can't draw blood from a stone.

Odds if you do, it wasnt a stone and you might have commited a crime.

lol I guess so, but to explain the metaphor:

You can't draw blood from a stone. You can't receive money in a financial judgement if they have no money. And you can't take acres and science from a kd that has none due to reset cycles.

Alright, safe to presume i had no idea they were in one.

[Pillz]

What would you call being razed nonstop then? You know when you hit 0 acres you reset right?

[Nanka]

Well, i really do not have a clue abt the extent they are razing you, might want to shed some light so we know whats going on.

Then i'll probably take your side, its pointless to negotiate a CF admist hostilities. For all it matters.

at this point its a matter of being told that if we move on and get into war with another KD our war will be interfered with by them razing us. So whats left to do?

we have already said we are not giving up 5k acres, abi is not deleting, and they refuse to just move on.

What leverage do you have left? You have no cards left to play. If I were them, the price would now be 5,739 acres (the amount you've hit for) and that would just be for lawls. Your plan is terrible, you don't understand your enemy in the slightest. You can keep doing what you're doing to them forever and it won't bother them.

It is more like we won't let you move on until you offer something we can accept, or accept something that we demand.

It does not bother us either, its pointless but entertaining. whatever lol

Be quiet already, again you have already said you would not accept anything we offered just because this was pure entertainment for you. lol so sit back and be amused

[MyNameIsMatija]

I wanted to say, it seems both sides are fine with the status quo for the time being, I wouldn't bend my mind over it at this point.

It does bother you. You wan't to be able to war. They don't. You want to play the game. They don't. They win this by doing nothing. How many weeks do you want to spend on this? How many ages? They have eternity.

What you should really worry about is what happens after reset? Will this age inspire these once talented players to try again and then spend the entire next age with strength advantage over you raze killing all your provs? Probably not, but they could if they wanted to.

How do you win this? Because they have nothing to lose.

Me as a player no it doesn't bother me, as far as I am concerned we are at war even if its not "official" . And good for them if they do or dont. I personally would use my talents to better the game and create new challenges but hey when you got nothing to live for you waste time on trivial things. See this is a game, it dont matter. Its just something I do to pass the time. I have a rl and do rl stuff ;)
