Hey fellow Grepolis players, it's CRoWnDCLoWn. I have something I wish to discuss pertaining to, you guessed it, REFUGEES!
Now, I joined an alliance rather than making one of my own this time( although I'm perfectly capable). I joined this alliance that was quite small in the beginning but is top in our present ocean. The leader seemed quite capable, some good members in his squad, nice location, pretty well suited to be an alliance in which I could invest my services in.
I got my city running up, being a fan of my dear slingers, I got a nice slinger nuke ready, patiently waited for the protection to go off and began to systematically eliminate abandoned cities on my island and some lazy players as well. I attacked this one guy who was pretty active, but was a point whore( love point whores, I hold them close
) and wiped his little 8 swords off the face off the earth. Begin to farm him since he is right next to me. The next day, I see this guy has joined the alliance!
So, I contacted our leader and asked his policy on refugees. Told him this new guy is a refugee and that I have been farming him, and nicely requested that this guy be released from the alliance so that I may farm him. He is of no use, a point whore and a refugee...come on! The leader said he could not do this, because the guy deserves better treatment than what I'm suggesting. That if I want to attack this guy for bp that I have to leave the alliance every Wednesday, attack him freely for the whole day, and then can join back into the alliance the next day, Thursday. WTH!! But wait there's more! He contradicts himself and says that he won't allow members to attack other members, but we can leave every Wednesday attack each other, and have good laughs as we join together Thursday.
I told him that is completely absurd, I have never heard such BS in the entire game, and trust me plenty of BS gets thrown around, can I get an amen! But, to gain bp by attacking your own members and then rejoining as to build up a false show of aggressiveness, not to mention we are killing ourselves and allowing some other alliance to destroy us as we play every Wednesday and fight each other. Then Thursday we sit exposed with no troops, how fun, yeah. But, its made better cause I got me some Bp!! Smh. Really?
The leader says wars are won by making enemies our friends, not by attacking them, conquering them, and pissing them off.......Are you guys getting this?!? He will allow his enemies to join! Wow, so no need for a cave if the enemy can come right in and get more info for FREE! We will have spies galore, picking at us like vultures and he will be this peace loving, let's all be friends fruitcake. Sigh. I'm ashamed to be in this said alliance.
So, I will be leaving and looking again. What are your thoughts on this late breaking refugee policy and new game winning strategy of having your enemies become friends and everything will be peachy. I mean there are times when an enemy turns out to be a sincere friend, no doubt. But, 9/10 no. And most good alliances and experienced players won't even accept refugees. Let me know what you guys think. I may be wrong. But, I dont think so.ro:

May seem below the belt, but I posted the convo for better clarity. The player refugee's and leader's names have been replaced for confidential reasons.

....I'm not sure I like the sound of that. I'm quite confused now on the policy of this alliance regarding refugees. So if we are attacking an enemy and he joins, we just allow that, we don't question his reason and intent on joining. So then, how are we able to conquer our enemies if we allow them to join after a good beat down?

Because thats how wars are won, former enemys ( and xxx is not an enemy of anyone else afaict) are now friends, of all the Alliance, and they,and you dont attack your friends without cause, which is what your proposing to do. Instead of farming independents to cause them to join, you wish to piss them off, work against the Allaince best intrests which is to protect its members from attck and increase its numbers.
If you dont wish to leave, attack on Weds so both gain BP, then dont do so.

I'm not pissing anyone off. Its the name of the game. I'm just securing my island. Farming is essential to this game and to do such it is necessary to go to those cities other than yours and get the resources. If I attack everyone and then say "hey you wanna join the alliance?" who and what am I going to be farming with an island full of allies? This leaving on wed and coming back on thurs is just absurd. Leaving the alliance to attack your players and teammates just to raise bp! You are beginning to sound a little absurd yourself.

One. Your pissing me off, wish your child like approach to the game you have already pissed xxx off.
The name of the game is not to piss everyone off with childish behavoir, dont ask to farm the allaince members, its not YOUR island and its not YOUR Alliance.
I asked xxxx to join, not you, you asume he joined for the childish reasons you ascribe, i otoh understand different.
Grow up Clown.

LMBO. I see you are an MRA noob. One who has not played enough to understand the depth and mechanics of this game. Pissing you off shows your immaturity and impatience in a game which requires both. Which is why, I can judge with great accuracy, that you have never established a good, working alliance.
My behavior is not childish nor are my tactics. Clearing the island of lazy players and point whores is a tactic shared by all seasoned players. If I want this island then it will be mine. I choose to play as I play. The only child in this matter is you. Which is why you cannot respect the criticism of a player in attempting to suggest a better route than you are taking.
You only understand that which you wish. Your tactics in running an alliance are fail. You lack the fundamentals to even running an alliance. No forum set up, or should I say properly set up. No system of recruiting members. No explaination on the alliance which we have joined, vision, purpose, goals, positions. You are just having fun clicking that invite button aren't you. You are number one, because of numbers. But others are stronger for they have organization. Something you lack in the very beginning, which pulls your members together and rallies them behind one cause, one goal, one mind!
You are no longer an asset to me as I thought you would be. So, I will have to cut this relationship short of what it could have been. I wish to be released from this alliance. I will have no part in this. Do with it as you wish. But, you will never go far if you don't take criticism well or even communicate properly with your own members. And try ridding yourself of that childish temper and outburst..it's not fit for a leader.
P.S. - Never was asking to farm a member....smh
