Dear whoever deleted my country,

I have only been playing this game recently. I don't know anyone else who plays it. I still consider myself quite new. Yesterday my country was deleted from the express server, while I was playing and I immediately sent a request for information as to why it was deleted in the appeal box. Still no response. I re-read the "Rules" page and I am sure that I have not violated any rules.

The only thing I did was kill somebody who attacked me about 20 times without provocation. Obviously they know something or somebody that I don't.

Enjoy your game. Have fun making up a bunch of rules as you go and never updating the instructions. How much "oh just keep experimenting" do you people expect?

DELETING A NEW PLAYER'S GAME THEN NOT EVEN BOTHERING TO EXPLAIN WHY IS JUST POOR MODERATION.

This game is so desperate for players that it needs bots to make it playable. I wonder why... Take a flying leap. Deleting my countries for all servers I'm sick of this crap.

OK.

Thanks to both Paradox and DancingBear for taking the time to explain this. I think the differences between the servers was what was confusing me the most.

For what it's worth I did first check that they were all reporting the save Revision/Major Change Set under 'details' first. I think a brief rundown of the server GDI rules here might be a useful thing.

Thanks for your answer.
The other country is now more than twice my networth, perhaps I mis-calculated this in my previous post (it was just before I went to sleep) however I wouldn't normally make such a simple mistake. Regardless I am still confused.

I have games on 2 other servers. Trying to spy on a coutry > 2x my networth with both of us in GDI gives these results:

Express: Success. (Target is > 3x my networth)
Primary: Success.

If I try to spy on the leader in the Primary server (> 4x my networth) I get:
"Your forces will not spy on such a large opponent!"

But trying to spy the guy who just attacked me 9 times in the Tournament game gives me:
"GDI authority will not let you perform this operation without declaring war!"

The spy page states "The chance of success is related to both you and your targets ratio of Spies to Acres of Land", however it is unknown if this is the criteria for deciding if your spys will attempt an operation.

*All just normal vanilla "Spy" operations - not offensive

SO:
Why can I not attack back?
Why can I not spy?
Why did the other player not have to declare war before he attacked?
Why is the GDI still blocking me when the other player has already sent multiple attacks and offensive spy-ops at me?

I'm fairly new to EE, played a few games this year and I think I understand most things except this just happened:

I'm playing in the A tourament server. Someone has just attacked me 9 times without declaring war, plus a couple of offensive spy operations, yet GDI won't let me attack them back.

In fact I can't even do a normal vanilla "Spy" operation against them, it says GDI won't allow without first declaring war.

The other players networth is currently a bit less than 2x my networth.
Yes I am sure I am trying to spy/attack the right player....
Yes I am just trying to "Spy" not any other offensive spy operation.... since when do you need to declare war to spy?
