Can you define spam for me?as much as she may deny she spams all the time

Players really quit or leave servers early because they don't think spam battles are fun.
It would be interesting to learn the other side of the story from someone like you who uses spam every day as main strategy to take cities and to see how could you cope with a world where spam attacks are limited... I hope we get the chance
Can you define spam for me?
Well no thats where you are wrong. Hourly HC's can be considered spam but to me that is not what I would consider spam. This is why I was asking what you defined spam as.constant attacks that are pointless, you know what spam is
Define spam?!
This is a general response I often get from players when trying to ask about their ideas how to stop / block / ease the effect of spam attacks, so I thought why not approach the topic in a similar manner... Before any suggestions, please post what does spam mean for you, where is the limit?
Why do we use spam / flash / ping attacks, what it would be like without them?
Which tactics that use spam are necessary and why?
That is a very good perspective on this issue - because sometimes bullying/harassment is the intention of the spammer. It should be added to §4) Code of Conduct for Grepolis.Sending out dozens to hundreds of attacks/movements to create command entries only to cancel them & repeat them over extended periods of time to dishearten & intentionally cause a player to quit - THAT is not playing a game. In many other games & places outside of gaming, this has been defined as bullying/harassment & some places have legal implications in place for the behavior.
That's exactly what we are doing - and I have to say that overall quitting grep was one of the better decisions I have ever made, no one wants to spend time dealing with dumb attacks completely un-rewarding for the time you have to put in and anti-fun. There are a variety of other gaming options available that do not interfere with players actual day to day lives.Welcome to Grepolis....a WAR GAME. If you do not like getting attacked, play something else.

No it would be Jcoo VS the 100s of Maul Accounts tbh.Good news Everyone - we decided to take your sage advice & quit the game because we could not enjoy a game of war when the antagonist acts like a pathetic, small, little child that throws a tantrum when playing a game of war, gets attacked & responds with thousands of small spam attacks laced with unlimited gold units just to annoy someone over the course of nine days straight, all because you got distracted by Pandora's Box....

I'll use my experience as a leader against your alliance from En107.
Definition: Being locked out of the computer or being unable to sleep or continuing to poke with no CS despite the player being obviously on.
A good example of this was that Quizas guy from your alliance in EN107 trying to spam Sitthisoneout from mine. Or Silver Eyed Lion King trying to spam anyone that attacks him then going to publicly brag about it.
None of these tactics are necessary. Less good teams just use them in hopes that better teams will drop off in activity. Up till this point we didn't really organize any spam on people and shut down attempts to do so. Such things often yield negative results. Especially when leaders ignore them or try to justify them.
A good example of spam backfiring would be 107 again where now your front line vs us is mostly SELK, Pictureplan, and a bunch of people who have have their alarms off or are completely VMed because BS kicked off a spam war vs BWN. Oznob even tried to come to you to talk about it and Adam the Ruthless even heard Quizas out when Quizas realized he made a YUGE mistake. We all know that's a lot nicer and more patience than anyone would get from me in that scenario, yet it was still taken advantage of and nothing was done, heck one player of yours even had a list of people he had spammed off the world and still got to stay in BS.
So here's my question back. How do you plan to stop spam when you appear to actively encourage it and have players bragging in the forums about it? Who are you to even talk?
I'm not using it as a PNP. We both know i could pile on a lot worse than I am. I'm outright saying that you're knowingly allowing spamming to go on in your alliance. In fact, in some instances where players left, they were told they would be spammed as punishment. Sometimes by leaders such as with TLC.
You were even told as such when one of your players started on us. Nothing was done until we decided to do something about it.
So pardon my skeptism here, but I'm questioning why we should listen? I mean from my POV, this seems like it's an issue to you because you started spamming charlie and that didn't work out for most the world. Then you tried with us and that's also not working. So now you want an attack limit or something.
I think it's a fair question considering skimming the comments makes me feel like I'm watching people raise their hands if they've been picked on by Regina George.
Who are you on Dyme? Let me go out on a limb and state your alliance fabricates a ton of stuff. Who sends 1000’s of small attacks? I’m thinking you have a penchant for completely fabricating whatever you or your alliance needs to assuage your hurt feelings on quitting the server. It’s a war game, attack back. Oh wait...that was the problem with CH, you all very rarely attacked us in BoB.
