you are not mistaken.

Unless it is the last hit or the only hit.

If it's the second then yes (in which they're being nice to you as some folks are), but not the first hit.

By PDM's policy you could SS if all your hits were SS, we don't allow mixing of attack types.

You can do whatever kind of retal your alliance can enforce, same as it ever was.

Dave, if you do SS to get in an extra hit then most people will strongly object to that.

Unfortunately, that's how it reads, but I don't think that was the intention. We'll need to reword it. If you want your final attack to be an SS after doing PS, it's fine - but our policy doesn't make it explicit, so it'll need to be changed.

Well, as i see it - you can do ss or ps in any way to get exactly 100% land. If you get 50% land with ss, then do 2 SSes, instead of 1 PS (or 2 PS).

I've already done a PS followed by an SS this set for retals... I'm not a super greedy fella. But an SS followed by a PS is a no-no.

well for most case, i see ppl getting 150% land. cause they do SS to get below 80% land to get another valid retal and then do PS on second.

So why don't people just put in another pact term that says if a L:L retal results in more than 120% (unless it is the only retal hit, or if the retal is a SS that brought it from less than 80% to over 120%) then it will be considered over-retalling?

1:1 or L:L is moot if the alliance can't break you.

Bottom feeding in this game is done. And if you go around grabbing people with 10 million turrets you're going to make a lot of people mad at you and overall you will probably get into some trouble eventually in the set. It is far easier to be smart when grabbing knowing that after you get retaled you still gain land.

People who grab then jump in NW with all turrets tend to cause problems.

And thats why LaF used to make so many enemies :)

You gain a lot more land if you don't get retalled than if you do get retalled.

Yeah that is totally true just kind of hard to do it without making the enemies :p

But then again i guess if you can take on the enemies and still win and after you tag kill them continue to net it might work out. Seems like a more risky game plan though.

THE LEVEL OF PROTOCOL, CIVILITY AND MANNERS APPLIED TO A MOST DEFINITELY UNCIVIL AND UNQUESTIONABLY RUDE BEHAVIOR (THE TAKING OF LANDS BY FORCE FROM ANOTHER SOVEREIGN NATION) MAKES MY HEAD SPIN, MY EYES ROLL, MY TOES CURL, AND MY STOMACH ACHE!! WELL OK THAT LAST ONE MAY BE THE VOLCANO NACHOS..
