Harry, what you did was just your own mistake.
What RJ is doing is just bashing the crap out of people he doesnt like.
or the people he thinks have a to big mouth. I have been silent very long.
And now i felt like talking. And i get smashed for it.
So be it...

But there is no competition in that. Its just slaughter, and there is no other reason
then to make them quit.
And just for you what bothered me the most. Since it seems like you didn't get that:

"No other player in Strong ever attacked/bashed someone 'cause he was bored and felt like doing it'. That part is what bothers me the most"

And like you said very wisely at the end. It is a GAME. a GAME should be fun, competitive is no problem. But if i already get bashed for a msg i send to him. There is no FUN in the GAME anymore now is it?
And when there is no FUN in the game anymore. I just quit, and thats also what i am doing.

Im not letting RJ decide what i should say, or not say. Or tell me what to do, or not do in ZE.
My msg to him was a normal reaction and he overreacted. But he doesnt like people who point that out.
Thats his problem not mine. But he has the power to ruin the game experience of other people.
And thats what he is doing to me. Thats where it ends for me.

Obviously you will sit here and whine forever ShoQ, if you are quitting then do it, if you are playing, then shut your mouth and play. The whole reason for the war was obvious, I needed the bashing rule lifted to pop that 9.8k moon, and that's just what I did. You are very predictable in everything you do. When you are done whining come back and talk to me, until then I really could care less what you have to say.

RJ, you opened this with an inflammatory declaration

Rjsturgill wrote:I Destruction...feel like a certain cocky player needs to be bashed to hell. anyhow lets do it.

and so no one should be surprised by an inflamed response.

Firstly, I believe it is disengenuous to say that you attacked him because he was cocky. I know what was said between you and there was nothing cocky in ShoQ's reply to you. You attacked him because you were irritated that he was giving Jordan MS when you were hunting Jordan's fleet.

Secondly, the phrasing of your declaration of war indicates spiteful and malicious intent ("...bashed to hell...") and that is I believe why ShoQ responded as he did. Indeed it is just a game, and if you had just played the game and just done the deed I believe there would have been a different response.

well shoq is entitled to do as he pleases. perhaps he feels powerless in the game, and this is how he is taking back the power, by quitting? idk, just seems like a coward way out to me. and here is the part that makes no sense with what you are whining about shoq: You say the VAST majority of ZE hates rj, and would love to see him die a slow suffering death, but yet where are they? in other countries if the people(you, spiff, etc.) feel like they are being abused, they group together and remove this dictator(rj) from office. so you say the majority would like to see rj go, so if that is true, why couldnt you use any of their moons, regardless of alliance, to fleetsave and keep your fleet safe? if what you say is true, then you should have several hundred big moons you could have fleetsaved to, but you chose the most obvious one, and that is why you are crashed.

Really all I've seen is negativity in speed wen I joined here I thought it was gonna be kinda fun since I wanted to try a new stlye than wat I was doing in extreme. To sum all this nonsense up shoq wasn't doing nothing wrong with giving someone a ms while they were being hunted. If one of you guys was in jordans place you would want the same. Shoq is mores than capable of keeping and protecting his fleet even if it was destroyed. Really this is just between two players and was no need for a war I dnt even understand why we haven't surrendered yet since this has no meaning no offense to my leaders I could see if we had a lot of fleeters then I would be just halved *** about it bt it's mostly new players just trying to get the understanding on how to play.

Maybe instead of crying on the forums as much as humanly possible, you should think about asking the guy who declared the war why he declared war, and didn't just take ShoQ's fleet?

Alright, less crying from everyone all around. Its a war, big deal. Changes nothing in the game really. The purpose was quite clearly to have more than 5 shots at that moon, in hindsight, a very smart move. For having gotten caught, being honest, the fault is ALWAYS on the defender. This case along with the predictable FS that led to it, is no different.

Question is, will the war end since its goal was accomplished?

I dont know what is left as shoq has assured all of us he is quitting.......

Anyhoo...I believe Destruction has achieved his stated war aim and I will not pretend to be able to inflict any serious damage in return, so it seems time to declare Destruction the victor and officially close this war and this thread.
