You probably steal pieces off the checker board or take a peak at other people's cards when playing poker then, don't you? Yeah. That's sportsmanship. You really pwned your opponent. You're really a top notch gamer. meh.

And Khan, in my opinion it's underhanded and dishonorable. It's actually one of the most asinine things the programmers ever allowed. Like a lot of other things in this game, fairness isn't present. It's all about losers taking chicken**** shots to garner points. It has nothing to do with a challenging game. Just little minds playing for points.
that is uncalled for. you are acing like i am cheating.its allowed in the game then its a legitimate tactic. i did not try o hack into his account and suicide his fleet and disband his planets
You can't stop me I'm on a boat!

I don't think it's a "game feature" at all. I think it's another case of the programmers inability to correct a mistake and calling it by a different name. Whatever you want to call it, its a low life scumbag way to play- no matter who tells you what its supposed to be.

I ain't flaming you. I'm saying you play an underhanded game. I'm saying you don't play with any form of honor. I'm saying you will get your points any way that you can. I'm saying the game programming is a farce.

Let me point out something else- have you seen any improvements on this game since 10 February? Have you seen any of the promised fixes happening in the last two months?

Exploit it if you will. It's underhanded and totally typical. I'll continue to play above board and know that I'm in the top ten with integrity. Something you'll never be able to say.

I messaged the admins about the ability to IPM they said it was a feature. not a bug not something they forgot. calling someone a chicken-**** cheater is flaming by most peoples standards. Is it underhanded for me to phalax hit a target or to attack when the person is offline? seems like an underhanded tactic to me i mean they cant defend themselves

I don't give a flying **** what the Admins said. It's underhanded and in my opinion any person who uses it is a chicken**** cheater.

i got a warning for flaming for saying an alliance were d***chebags for threatening me in PM's.

Edit: this is not baiting or anything, but just pointing out that I hope rules as far as flaming is across the board and not just for certain forum users.
maybe this reply should be in other/or union of honor. but just pointing out that everyone should be warned no matter what their forum status is.

BTW- I've submitted by resignation as moderator. I won't be part of a staff that supports this kind of play. It's wrong. It's underhanded. It's the way a loser wins.

If it's an intentional feature, someone had their head up their fourth point of contact and has no clue on how to design a game.

crippler, cry to someone else. Get a grip and deal with it.
