I don't object to anyone actually having a legitimate opinion (ie, being either pro or con supernoob), but I do object to players who say they are vehemently against something while simultaneously fostering such behavior among their own members. If you're truly against something, you should not encourage it, even if it others are doing so. It's that simple. "Everyone else is doing it so I might as well," is not a permissible justification for an action.

Frankly, I cannot support some of the tactics I have seen in this war from you, Gozar. They look like they are driven by pure desperation. Is there any reason you crashed a bunch of your own ships by ACS defending an inactive Valhalla member, other than to steal the top attack position from the Valhalla member who ninja-ed you fairly? I'm sure glad you were wise enough not to actually post that in the war thread, but still, an underhanded and poorly motivated thing to do. That's in addition to the ususal... popping moons and bashing just because you know no one will ever be able to ninja 60k RIPs. When someone gets one over on you, take it with dignity and grace. Don't throw a temper tantrum... This goes for everyone.
I understand few in this game have any actual ethical standards when it comes to gameplay or care about anything other than getting what they want. But maybe they should. Maybe seeing your opponents as human beings and respecting them as individuals (and this goes to everyone... on all sides... we're all guilty of sometimes failing to do so, including me) would go a long way when it comes to restoring civility to the game and encouraging players to stay around instead of quit. I'm not naive enough to think it will actually happen. I've tried, and given up. But you never know.
