[Attack] Kaga on SoulCatcher

[ashimar]

First SoulCatcher suffered an insane attack on his colony, only 4 hours after Kaga (the agressor) asked him "u active ?":

The messages asking compensations from SC were read today but not responded to, the message I, in my usual biting style, wrote was read and yielded the response: "Chiavata! you. Kaga" to which I decided to reply as follows:

The target was the storehouse, being the most resistant structure on his island. It was not a mistake, to not target the wall.

However, I feel my work is not yet complete, so I will sent a few more to do my bidding.

;D A very appropriate reply!

And that, Lady and gentlemen concludes the points of the Dutch jury !

I'm sorry for Phil, extremely bad luck the odds were against him with the loss of 3600+ spears, but I don't think we would have gotten compensation anyway from that guy.

I am also sorry for David, who lost so many colonies recently, but it does indeed matter -unfortunately- who you can touch and who you can't (without almost self destructing) , in this game...

[SkulkrinBait]

It's fine, don't worry about me, I've still got 4 quite strong isles left and am slowly rebuilding my fleets - again!

Nice reply!

[Dalfiatach]

LOL! What a muppet...

[Dalfiatach]

BTW, I've finally reached my immediate goal of a 400LW all-archer strike fleet with 36 cats.

So, what should I be spending money on now?

More spears? More archers? More ships? More cats? Which should get priority?

[Dalfiatach]

Oh, and a small contribution of stoners and resources on the way to Phil to help rebuild. Take a day and a half to get there though!

[mmupatton]

Spearfighters and LWs, I'd say...

Nice response to his attack. Let me get this straight by the way, he didn't steal the isle, did he? What did you write to him?

[ashimar]

Phil wrote to him that he owed him 300K gold or something (perhaps a 0 more) and I told him that he would be spending a long time paying back Phil and that he should switch to stonethrower production and that every stonethrower would be Phils. Failing that....well...I suppose people just don't take you seriouslly anymore nowadays.

[Arminius]

Good result!

[Raven]

Many thanks for the support all

I suspected he was a multi and I didn't expect anything back in the way of compensation.

I can only hope he slips up by sending a mail from the wrong account etc

Perhaps if the isle is constantly battered it may be colonisable in the next tsunami.

[ashimar]

Too much work. And who would colonize it ?

I don't believe in colonizations for us anymore. I am beginning to feel that the only way is out (of the game).

[Natmus]

Yes, perhaps it's about that time.

Nevertheless, I am perfectly happy to sit quietly on my isles, making them as hard as possible to take, and defend my supply isles by recolonisations.
Logging on my account today to the red light at Ulholm didn't startle me as red lights usually do, my reaction was more a 'ho-hum'.

Waitaminute? Does that mean that you're not going to pay me for that colony ship you borrowed? ;D

Ha, ha ! Well, I guess it takes a while because I'm indeed pouring every gold I got into more ships output for the war, that's true. So far, I have always had too little to keep every productionline going 24/7 - always have to make a choice what's more urgently needed.

For example: that Gryuth colony, I got it with non-stop attention up to wall 20+tower 20, barracks 18-19 (producing spears 24/7 from the start) and harbour level 1 also doing 24/7 on SW's of which I just crossed the 200 mark. I deposited 25 cats and 7600 stoners. And still I don't think it's safe, but safer than most at least.
