Big debris for a person who just got 10k points, eh?
Lost the 10k points, and need to rebuild!

Why would you bother posting this?

So how much did the hit set you back by? For myself, I have my resource spending fairly planned out as to where it will go...so did this hit set you back from accomplishing a goal?

Is there something in the rules of this forum saying that such a hit can not be posted? Just because it isn't a huge hit etc... does not mean much. I look at it this way, the defender took this hit like a champ, didn't cuss, rant and rave at LOW as some would and is showing others getting hit by the higher ups a good example of game play attitude. He is also saying he has learned something from it. Perhaps some of the ones that make the bigger hits would like to step down off their soap boxes and check their attitudes at the door.

Ive got an attitude? I made no comment on the size of the hit, I didnt even say anything negative about it, you just assumed. No, there are no rules against posting a hit like this, I merely asked a question as to why bother posting it. Its a bit un-orthodox to post a hit against you, especially larger ones as its an unwritten rule that the battle winner is the one who posts.

Next time, think about it before attacking someone for asking a simple question. I personally think you should drop the Holier than thou attitude.

maybe you should also get off your soap box and stop lecturing everyone.

Normally people dont post a hit unless they managed to ninja an attack or they have made an attack or something interesting happened.

anyway good luck chinatiger you will do better and fleetsave. you will most likely rebuild quickly

Yeah nothing interesting here to tell you the truth I forgot I made that attack. Anyways GLOTR chinatiger, glad you learned about fleet saving.

I would summize that the reasoning behind the posting was to say "good job" as it may not have been much for the big guys, but it really was a huge hit for him. The "why would you bother" kind of has a ring of arrogance to it. Sorry it just sounds that way. As far as the other comments..well I have seen a lot of mud slinging by a lot of people, and I have probably done my fair share as well, maybe even more than my fair share. But it did seem arrogant and all I can say is congradulations to china for a great gameplay attitude and keep up the good work. As for the rest of us...lets get our noses down together shall we and remember 100 Battleships to some is an off hand "oh i forgot about those" and to others its 3 weeks of hard work.

I think that is the reason I said what I did about him posting it.... You big guys sometimes don't think it a noteworthy hit, not saying that you are too big, but that you have bigger fish to fry. To the smaller players that have been crashed like that, it is a big thing. I am glad that chinatiger took the hit with the attitude he did.

Me too trust me its not very often that you find someone with the attitude he has after his fleet has been crashed.
