yeh, its much easier to get bp when youve had a week to browse the forums, work out what everybody had in their cities, you must think you are quite the player.
flipping happens in grepo. Most people though, when they do flip they employ a 12 hour, sometimes 24 no hit where they dont take the mick. To switch alliances, and then attack everyone overland on a safe island, very rare a player is that limited in their overall gameplay that they do that.
For those not in the know.. The free BP that Molly thinks is so impressive, came from spending a week in an alliance, noting peoples online time's, checking who was offline, then dropping alliance, joining the enemy, and attacking everyone on his island that he knew was offline.
Like I say, pretty much demonstrates his limitations as a player..
