I take it case by case. You could say i am fickle. if you dare to retal me, you have to be feeling bold. you have to have a formidable country. or you have to prepare to become my fluff. in this case, i observed the player in question and made the determination he had no business making a retal on my mighty country. When you have taken 400 fewer turns than me, and i can 5x tap you, and you dare to retal me? well, let's just say, it's a war game, and the strong will crush trhe weak. Lol
