We've gone off topic somewhat, but I would like to bring it back to the original post as flameharveter PMed me dissapointed with my reply (unsure why a PM was more appropriate than replying to the thread originally created, but many things escape me).

So this round I am seeing something a little different from rank 1.
There score is being kept artificially low through donations and suicide attacks, low enough the bottom 10 always have targets. This has created an odd situation where LC/DW/SC are being forced to keep there scores low or face mass inc from rank 1.
Just wondering how people fell about this?
Personally I am finding that this is leaving me often bored as before we suicided to give ourselves a couple days off, we had to stay home against HQ constantly, We cant initiate a proper war for rank 2, we cant go BH or annoy rank 1 ^^. To me this is the most boring round I have played in quite a while, With HW's artificially low score a resistance could take them, but if there was the activity/will for a resistance HW wouldn't have won in the first place.
tl:dr, Is having rank 1 lower just killing the game through bashing on rank 2/3/4, or opening up more opportunities for the player-base to mix things up.
....what utter horsesh*te... you're bored because you have to defend? That totally invalidates everything else in your post - ignoring the fact that that's all crap too.
Not that I wish to tempt fate, but we have plenty of players with a very small amount of troops and not one Thief has tried to rush for their land. You give the alliance no reason to grow.
On another note, if we grew and you lot got bigger, Chewy & Jason's T-Rex might stop making it to last tick on their suicide runs if you lot get more troops. THAT'S bad for the playerbase.
I understand you obviously struggle with reading, but if your going to call my opinion horse **** post your "facts" based on what I actually say!
I did not say I am bored because I have to defend, I love to defend. I am bored because they never stay. On the other hand I can never send out to do anything!
The title of the PM being "please attempt to read before replying".
I then went back to the original post and re-read it... however, I will address the points in turn.
1. I can read, I can also write.
2. You're*
3. What facts? You post an opinion and ask for others. I post mine in return. In this instance you can't create facts without doing a survey or questionnaire for the whole playerbase to see, in quantifiable terms what they feel (ratings from 1-10 for example).
4. You didn't specify you being bored because HW never stay - you infact make reference to suicide attacks, which suggest the total opposite?
5. Reply to your own thread on response to posts - forum is for everyone to get involved.
As an additional I did skim past your point about being bored at home but I don't even think that point was mis-repressented in my original post.
Resorting to insulting quips about my personal inabilities is a person is a poor way to win an argument, however if you intend to use that please do it correctly. (I am ginger, pale, short, fat, unemployed, single and have a small willy).
