Hi folks.
I have a very sneaky suspicions that some bad things are being said about me.
Let me introduce myself. I am "z0r". I used to be a member of OFN13. I left a couple of months ago to have the privilege of playing in a smaller, closer-knit, more active alliance. I think my description of OFN13 is more of a "casual" alliance.
I get the feeling that folks think that I am some evil player who is out to attack OFN13 members.
That is not the case at all.
I've explained this to several members of the alliance already (who have wanted to know the truth), and I thought that I would publish this message here for anyone interested in hearing.
First, and foremost. To me, oGame is a game. oGame is really a math game. My goal is to advance. The best/fastest way to advance is to spend resources on stuff (1000 resources spent = 1 point).
I need a lot of resources.
I get resources in the following manner:
+ I build mines.
+ I attack fleets (and collect the debris)
+ I farm planets for resources.
I do this several times a day, 11 attacking fleets at a time... I net somewhere around 2-4 million in resources a day.
I have no PERSONAL grudges against this alliance. I have GONE out of my way to NOT attack folks whom I recognize. There is ONE person whom I attack regularly. He is close by, has lots of resources laying around on his planets, with NO defenses. This is a gold mine. And if I did not attack him, there are a dozen people within 20 solar systems of him who would!
Other than that.. I have nothing personal against this alliance, and I am still happy to help those who ASK for my help. (in fact, someone in your alliance is getting a care package of 400K of resources TONIGHT). This doesn't sound like a guy who is interested in destroying, your alliance, is it?
I have gone OUT OF MY way (several times) to explain to your leader this point of view. I suspect that it is not getting across clearly.
If you do NOT want to be attacked by me, it really is simple:
1. Build defenses. I don't go out of my way to attack well defended planets!
2. Do NOT keep LOTS of resources on your planets. This will attract attention!
If you want help... LET ME KNOW. I will let you know how to improve your defenses. I have always helped out people who have ASKED me.
Again... in conclusion:
1. Nothing personal against OFN13.
2. I have attacked (routinely) a member of your alliance - he's an idiot. Sorry guys.
3. If I recognize your name, I do NOT attack you.
4. If I do not recognize your name, I might attack you (if you have no defenses or lots of resources lying around). That's the GAME here!
5. If you really want my help... I'll be happy to spy on your planet, make recommendations (and NOT attack you while those recommendations are getting implemented).
Please avoid the temptation to try a half-hearted attack on me! It's not worth the effort, folks!
