Your log clearly shows I brought you 100 crystal, and you could've notified me that you didn't have enough to trade. Instead, you chose this. I'll get my goods and not give you another chance to trick me.

    I would have kept everything I took from him and labeled it as a fee to pick up the goods he owed.

    Same.

    Late fees and finance charges for not paying off his debt fast enough. When you get sent to collections, its not a smart idea to threaten the collections agent.
    My sanity is not in question...
    It was a confirmed casualty some time ago.


    Light, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I had to kill because they ticked me off.

    Lol, what a great script! Little dog tries to mug big dog of his bone, then tries to outsmart big dog and gets chomped by big dog.

    Honestly, I don't understand some people who play Ikariam. Some people trying to attack much stronger opponents and others hoarding massive amounts of resources and not building any defenses! They must think this is a single-player game with A.I. set on simpleton.

    After I get done with them, I usually drop them a line with a few hints to make their city more pillage proof. Makes me feel better for all the pillaging.

    Heh, I haven't bought anything in over a week, and have actually run outta room in my warehouses before due to too much spoil.

    I am, however, in the same boat as ATR. If they are civil and not "l33t", I'll usually help them set up defenses after we talk. Made a couple good trading partners that way, in fact. I let them know when I am dumping new loads of stolen goods on the market so they can snag 'em first.

    Everybody wins!

    Well i think im one of the funny ones ATM. One of my neighbors is helping himself to my limited riches (Im only 2 days old ATM)

    How do I defend myself against 25 slingers and 10 swordsman and a ram. My wall is at lvl-3 and my army such as it was got wiped out. As of this writting I can only make slingers.

    Sarcoma, still a day away from pro-army research.

    Re: Pillage funnies...

    Can you make ships? If you can, pump out a couple of Rams....if you have more than he attacks with, then you win. Rule #1, if they can't get to the town then they can't pillage you.
    I pillaged a guy and the he sent 10 ballistas to blockade me....I responded with 17 Ballistas and 6 Rams for defense......he lost

    With overwhelming odds there's not much you can do. Message him for a trade or buyout if you want to avoid it, but there's no longterm consequences to the attack. In the beginning a warehouse can save you some precious resources, but really he's losing money attacking you so it probably won't last long and soon enough the few gold or resources he got off you won't mean much at all.

    And add him to our hit list of course!

    If you give us his coord's we can send him a few threatening messages.
