that is not the point of this post. The focus is not on Tharmon. It's not about people leave resource overnight either. Please respond to original post only. we are straying from the topic.

I am not aware of "Great Equalizer", but if the top players are top because of time, effort, and strategy, this idea will not change their position. They will still be top.

but you are suggesting "punnishing" players that are, well for lack of a better word, better than you. instead of suggesting something like that, why not ask those stronger players for tips and advice? maybe even help you and your mates learn how to fleetsave and protect their resources better than you guys do. I know myself and all my mates have tried to help others understand the basics of the game, and always are open to questions from any of you guys. tharmon, the person in question(yes, this whole thing is about him, because this whole thread started with you complaining about him being attacked) i tried helping firsthand, and would continue to do so. he clearly didnt heed my advice as he frequently leaves 10-15 mil res on his planets when he goes offline. well like i said right from the start, if he learned not to do that and listened and heeded the advice given to him, he wouldnt have been attacked.

No thanks sounds a little op

You are weird, if u insist on talking about Tharmon, go somewhere else. I don't care about him.
You have trouble understanding this thread.
This also isn't about Strong, if they are not top alliance, someone else will. This is about the game dynamics.

you obviously do, since your crying about his fleet being nomed on.

1. the attack reports that he showed us had non of his fleet. His fleet was not destroyed

2. Tharmon lost about 13 mill resource from each attack to Destruction, his mines can make that back in a couple hours. You really think he quit over that? No, he quit because he thinks those attacks were a form of "bullying", with no real gain. Also because he realized he would never be able to take down destruction.

3. Is the attack justified? I really don't care, because unlike Tharmon I don't have a false sense of honor. He believes you should only attack players within 5x your points. I think that's non sense, you snooze you lose.

Schnitter you attacked me when I barely had 20k points, did i complain? no, that's part of the game.
I am focusing on giving an idea I personally think is good for the Speed universe. We hardly have 400 active players.
Will this idea benefit me in anyway? Non-whatsoever, because unlike the other hopefuls, I believe destruction can never be taken down from the #1 spot. He will always be in Speed universe, unless he stops playing for 1 year.

even if he did leave, someone else would take the top spot and you would be complaining about that player. tharmon has very little fleet, this wasnt about that. every single one of my posts explain what it was about. HE LEFT HIS RESOURCE SITTING. period. and you maybe need glasses if you saw these cr's and you still say it was an unprofitable hit, either that or you really have no clue about this game.

look it is a game, and a war game at that. you realize in a war game there are attacks yes? if you dont like playing a WAR game and dealing with attacks, go play monopoly.

mod can we lock this as this is really going nowhere but in circles here.

Sorry, but this is the "WORST" idea I have seen in my 18 months of playing this game. This suggestion offers nothing to the game in strategy or balancing. Sorry, but this idea should not be implemented. Of course that is my opinion, so take any way you want.

It has became obvious to me that you have a learning disability. You actually managed to misinterpret every post that I wrote. That's quite something
