well KoH, heres where your logic is flawed. if the guy is a top 10 player, and he double taps you this early, im assuming for a couple hundred acres a hit.. and lets say you didnt go ABs. you just retalled. once. then twice.
i wouldnt waste my turns ABing you. i would farm you, and keep farming you and try to grow out of your humanitarian range... if im a top player and its this early, i could still recover from your topfeeds and take back my land from you...
if it was say, a month from now while im stocking, then i would be more tempted to forgo my reset since your hit cost me to a point where i could not recover because i stopped lging. and even then, top players are mostly tree huggers. its very hard to throw away a month of hard work to basically do what serpentor and total waste of time did last reset.
i mean. lets say i spend 10 min a day, timing my logins and building my country. multiply that by 40 days or so... thats 400 min, or almost 7 hours. on my country.
you wouldnt build an amazing sculpture that you worked an entire day to, just to take a hammer and destroy something in a matter of seconds that took you all day to build right? well same concept here.
thats why i bit the bullet last reset with jed. it was literally a coinflip but in the end i wanted to see if i could finish top 5. had i known i would have barely broken 100M, and settled for 7th or 8th, whatever i finished, i probably would have forgone it. and im inclined to think most players playing for the achievement of winning would think the same way.
