So, Bli, what you are saying is that a player with lower points is less active, and therefore, a weaker player? By that same standard, the almighty Murtius and yourself would then be deemed weaker and less active than, oh, let's say Spiller, since Spiller has double the points.
But if points mean nothing, why use them for comparison? You can't have it both ways.
Seeing as the front lines for Alpha run along the O55/O56 border, as well as in O66, for a player in O57, cities in O66 would be much closer to the front lines. I didn't say that ALL of the players involved were moving closer to the front lines with those conquests, I only said that some of the players were moving closer.
Oh, and before you start using Alpha as an example of larger players picking on smaller ones, maybe you want to look at some of you own within The Unit. I believe Rush the Conqueror and Nisam Svoj. have recently taken cities from a lowly Armageddon player. But The Unit isn't held to the same standards as the rest of us, now are they?
