1. No TU players post here on a very regular basis besides myself. I don't think I know one that has degraded a player in anyway (Lidos does not count as it is his nature to be friendly while stirring things up at the same time, he has that very unique ability/trait).
2. That being said, might you be generalizing? Might you be grouping all 48 other players under my name? Ok maybe I'm a little harsh on here, but outside this forum? Answering player questions, helping many along, ect. I think your generalizing the few times I've been aggressive with my words isn't portraying me in whole truth. I respect all players, their opinions, their own history, their personality, ect. I welcome them all here. Now will there be trash talk? Of course! It's a forum to discuss battles and wars, should it being one-sided at all times? Point being, please do not judge my players that you do not know off my actions. They are terrific people and talking to any of them in any depth would surely allow you to see that.
3. Fatal Nemesis did a very interesting job in attacking. Let me warn you, some were well coordinated and timed attacks and I full recognize that, but others were, well not so good. Things like CS's in revolts, bireme/archer/sword attacks, little to no LS escorts, ect. I really can't commend them on the 60k DBP they gave ONE player. MzC has gained more respect form me in a few short nights than anyone on Grepolis. She just handled herself fantastically. I'm sorry but you can talk about the cities FN got off her, but with 2 alliances utterly surrounding one small group only goes so far.
EDIT: 2,000th post
DOUBLE EDIT: Sorry, one last thing. I understand that a few players have created a strong hold in ocean 65. That is impressive as resources are much more thin than while in an alliance (don't limit the word resources to materials, I mean everything". BUT, I also feel that building a string of cities surrounded by an alliance of total defense does not speak so highly as you first incur. What does it take to build a string of cities? Well not much. What does it take to create, maintain, and uphold a cohesive alliance under constant pressure? That is the best response I can give, as we may have different opinions on the matter.
