My biggest problem with the game right now is that if you're not landtrading, the advantage goes to those who can spend all day camping news for targets coming out of DR.
I have a job at a company which heavily frowns upon outside internet usage and keeping your cell phone on your desk is against company policy.
I can't spend my whole day hitting targets which are coming out of DR, even if I'd want to. Which, to be honest, is not something I'd care to do anyway.
There needs to be a way which encourages interaction between countries, increases fun play, without necessitating a need to have 24 hour connectivity each day or relatively mindless landtrading.
So long as I'm unsure as to what that solution is, I won't be griping about it. Maybe the answer is landtrading. Maybe some NPC/Bot countries are the answer. Maybe exploring gains should go down at a lesser rate until such time as the country makes an offensive action against another.
I'd suggest you look at the hits also made by other alliances on those untagged countries.
I'd also suggest you review the hits made by those same countries on other alliances and the hits on those untagged countries by other alliances afterwards.
The evidence shows those who monitor news will hit targets that come out of DR, regardless of which alliance that country has hit.
This isn't a targetted, malicious or hostile act against any alliance losing land. Nor is MD the only alliance which is hitting the countries which are hitting KSF.
Untagged/smaller alliances hit other countries. All countries seek to get more land. It's unfortunate that countries are taking land from one alliance and then losing it to others. Calling it two stepping implies a hostile and malicious intent. For MD's part, this is not the case.
MD in no way supports or encourages other countries to land grab countries in any other alliance. We do support and encourage our members having stronger countries.
Looks like Imagnum was taking retals:

I think off the top of my head A low land fasc farmer who will not be able to login very often or have the time necessary to do a proper efficient demo destock is best served with a TMBR destock. I realised this is not a country pushing for a top 5-10 spot.. but still...
I believe highrock's looking for an 'ideal' answer, not a factual one. Hence lazy play and inattentiveness towards one's country shouldn't be taken into account when answering this particular question.
However, being a rather lazy player...I appreciate your approach. ;)
Moral Decay and Sons of Liberty have negotiated a ceasefire.
Our ally, LCN have our gratitude for their war efforts. Without your aid and efforts, our battle would have been over far sooner.
Any outstanding retals will be taken by Omega, but hits made from this point forward against Moral Decay will have the retals taken by MD. Thanks Omega, for watching our backs.
