"Over the past year" you've been pretty consistent in stating that you liked PDM's grabs vis-a-vis our retal policy. You got fat off them. I don't really have a lot of sympathy this set. Probably a good thing we have a pact now though. :)
It wouldn't be much of an issue if PDM members didn't try to outdo their antics from last set every set. PDM doesn't even respect their own policy: you guys were constantly GSing your own fat countries to prevent someone else from grabbing them. Apparently it isn't fun to get topfed by someone with 1/6 of your land! Who would have guessed?
You also farmed the crap out of an untagged that grabbed you, I guess your policy doesn't apply when you can get away with it? Or maybe you signed a pact with him that allowed you to farm him for two hits? Who knows.
Bottom line is your policy is designed to protect countries that do nothing but play to get a big grab and to screw other player's finishes. I want you to estimate how much NW someone would lose to retal a heavy defense country from a late-set 6X topfeed in 48 hours not mixing SS/PS. You may assume the defender has 60k acres.
Apparently it's only fun when you are ruining the other player's fun, and unfortunately PDM has a lot more crappy countries than EVO has top ten contenders.
