Retribution

No matter what rank I am. No matter how late I started. No matter what round I played. I always played to win. If I am in the 499th position, in a game with 500 players and with 1 hour left to play, I would still play like I am in second place and needs only to work a little harder to be number one. But there are exceptions and one of those exceptions is to help out a friend.

I wasn’t planning on updating this BLOG. I am often so tired from school that I immediately fall asleep when I get home, only to wake up in the middle of the night to play GA and FK. But something happened that I just have to blog.

A system planet of mine, The Spartan Floppie, attack a kill target called myAkeyisbroken. myAkeyisbroken is an alliance target. When I first learned about the kill target, he was too big for me to do anything. All I could do was just launch 1 measly revenger missile.

When I read that name again was when he assaulted Spartan. I was online an hour after the attack. Spartan asked for help in the alliance forum because a kill target assaulted him. I took a SOM of myAkeyisbroken and posted it in both the system and alliance forum and then I log-out. I think myAkeyisbroken attack Spartan because Spartan attacked somebody in his alliance. Then again, Spartan may have been just open.

Sep 23, 12:38 am Troops from The Spartan Floppie (1:7) assaulted Your Favourite Chocolate (2:14) and conquered 255 land.

Sep 23, 1:35 am Troops from myAkeyisbroken (1:13) assaulted The Spartan Floppie (1:7) and conquered 273 land.


I did not hit the myAkeyisbroken because he smaller than my minimum range target (means if I had attack, I would only get a small portion of his land.) Also, I was afraid that the target would send missiles at me, or worse, get me ktd (Kill Target) by his alliance. Since, I so love my net worth, I left Spartan alone. Reasoning it was just one attack. The others in the alliance must have been like me and did nothing.

Since nobody helped him, Spartan acted on his own.

Sep 23, 1:30 pm Troops from The Spartan Floppie (1:7) assaulted myAkeyisbroken (1:13) and conquered 169 land.

Sep 23, 10:16 pm Troops from The Spartan Floppie (1:7) assaulted myAkeyisbroken (1:13) and conquered 153 land.

This is what he got.

Sep 23, 10:36 pm Troops from Defiants Memory (1:13) assaulted The Spartan Floppie (1:7) and conquered 250 land.
Sep 23, 11:17 pm Troops from Beer n Brats (2:14) assaulted The Spartan Floppie (1:7) and conquered 227 land.
Sep 24, 1:30 am A Stealth missile launched from myAkeyisbroken (1:13) hit The Spartan Floppie (1:7) and destroyed no land, killed no population, destroyed no special ops, and killed a lot of military troops.
Sep 24, 1:32 am Troops from myAkeyisbroken (1:13) assaulted The Spartan Floppie (1:7) and conquered 208 land.

It is embarrassing that a kill target gets help from her friends, while Spartan is left to fend for himself. :(

For the record, I am not angry with myAkeyisbroken. Nor am I upset with her friends. I am however angry with myself and my alliance. How could we have left Spartan on his own? I am so angry with myself that I will do anything to help Spartan, even if I get missile or ktd. I want retribution for what happened to Spartan.

I told the alliance how wrong we were on not helping Spartan and that I am going after the myAkeyisbroken with or without them.

Here is myAkeyisbroken Net before my attack:

Here she is after my attack:

Here is a part of what I posted in the alliance forum.

“I am so embarrassed with myself. I am also embarrassed with you guys. Spartan was just helping kill the ALLIANCE kill target and as a reward, he’s fighting the kill target alone. A kill target bigger then him.

Last time, I did not help him when he was attacked because the target was small and would not get much land. I was also afraid I would receive some missile and I don’t want that because I love my NW. But it sickening and embarrassing watching him fight alone. You can help us or not; frankly I don’t care. We will kill him with or without you guys. I am just hoping there are still some people here with some backbone and help us.”

If my planet gets killed for this, then it is the perfect penance for me. ~_~
