Yeah, it sucks when you just can't do anything. I was shocked, really.

Scrubs made it to 3rd last UvU and although we've dealt with a few very suspicious unions, we've managed to hold the fort and pull through because of our communication and trust. There's such a thing as a helpless battle, and it's just one of those things where no matter what you do they'll always just keep taking you down. In UvU, speed is key -- taking down their bases faster than your own means that they have to work harder to turn things around. But nothing can happen if all your bases are just in a mess and you're getting dogpiled like crazy only because they can just wreck you in seconds.

It's a fucking joke. The leader of Meowies, Reeko, told me about that too, that she was rather disappointed by it.

These players are just the worst, but you know, that's why I wrote this post. That way I make a statement, and even if it isn't a very loud one, what it says is basically "if you want to treat us like this, we're leaving your stupid game", because they REALLY don't need us around. They can keep their hacking whales if it means keeping their money supply. Their problem, not ours anymore. Who are they going to show off to once we're gone?

It's so hard to recommend to new players. People end up quitting in an instant when they join this game only because the game's went the direction it did, and that's disappointing, really.
