No, once again you completely miss (purposely or not) what someone is trying to say and you continue to manipulate ideas to better suit your vain argument. What you've been implying indicates that once you get to a certain size you feel you should be untouchable by most and those that can, shouldn't be given a fair retal.
Your warped sense of grabbing in this game is the lesser evil of those that are masturbating their own countries and then sending themselves to DR all round, but its still stupid.
I'd say I wish I had more time to explain things to you but I'm actually pretty happy that I don't. The sooner this thread gets back to discussing the current cost of food the better.
Manipulate what ideas? I've never implied that once I get to a certain size I should be untouchable. Just like last set, members in IMP are trying to win an argument with me by attributing ideas to me that aren't mine.
My argument is that exchanging grabs with someone smaller than you is not advantageous, thus bigger countries do not have the incentive to grab other alliances that can retal them. Thus people who are more successful at acquiring land are given the incentive to not attack alliances who can retal them.
My idea was not that if you grow you should be untouchable. My point was that if you are good at acquiring land, there is no incentive for you to have player to player interaction with people who are not as good at acquiring land. Thus player to player interaction is sought after by those who have not done as good a job of acquiring land, and is shied away from by those who have done a better job of acquiring land.
I did not ever say that one should be untouchable if they grow big, what I implied was that there needs to be a reason for player to player interaction for countries who grow big. I in fact implied the opposite of what you are trying to attribute to me.
You need to learn how to argue better. Intetionally misstating someone's position so that you can win the argument is very ineffective, and it makes you look like an asshole and an idiot.
