I recieved an in character threatening TM from a stupid n00b. Is it acceptable to declare war for IC telegrams?
11-01-2004, 23:24
Yes. In fact, often it's acceptable to declare war for absolutely nothing.

If it was sent in character, then you have a very good reason to declare war.

It is not supposed to be acceptable to declare war for OOC things, but it happens all the time. Several nations have a habit of declaring war on nations for exhibiting extreme n00bishness, which I can certainly understand.

Could be. Several older nations like to lure people into a war by creating a puppet nation and have the puppet act like a n00b. Once the war starts, the real nation jumps in as an ally of the alleged n00b.

Just like real life, in a way.

Just roll over him with a bulldozer and be done with the matter.

Ah yes, you do have to worry about a Bear Trap. Of course I personally ignore the nOOb threats as just anoyances unless they actually threaten something reasonable that my government would care about.

Killing nOObs is really sort of pointless...It's like beating on a two year old...what is the point?

practice what....a nOOb who goes around threating people for no apparent good reason is only going to wind up god modding like a b*****...

I stopped nOOb hunting after crushing China Wright with a few tanks and men and found myself dealing with some f*** multi-capitol ringed with pungi sticks of doom impossible to cross crap. The only thing you get with a nOOb hunt is maybe some funny examples of nOObish godmodding...or fustration...usually you can't kill them, or the you get such phrases as

"the dragons in tanks attack'
"My leader is a all powerful Jesus in a Tank...you lose"
"My 800,000 aircraft are built with 15 inch thick depleted uranium armor so you can't shoot them down..."

Practice at what, dealing with a bratty two year old?

Practice being a cut above those examples, I think.

its also quite fun to declare for a made up IC reason, and then use technological superiority to utterly destroy the enemy...I know I have!

? I think that your concept (although correct) and a person who makes an out of the blue, IC comment that could start a war (or maybe I'm assuming something that I shouldn't be) are somewhat mutually exclusive? Or perhaps someone is intentionally being an a****** with a puppet just for their own reasons?
