Hiding Behind an Alliance
Forums › General Discussion › Hiding Behind an Alliance-
I don't make a lot of posts here on GD, and I do believe this might be my first thread.
I am not a member of an alliance. I don't cap indiscriminately. I cap a turf or two here and there, unless there is a good reason for it. Today, I was thoroughly disrespected by a member of the so-called Pax alliance (pax means peace, btw) and I have no recourse because I can't fight an alliance.
The story is this: I hopped across Pittsburgh, I put down some turf in a few good areas. The next day, I capped two loot turf from two different players. A third player, msquaredinc (6k mob), pmed me asking if I was new to the area. I didn't respond within the hour, and as a result, I received threatening pms and had all my pittsburgh turf leveled and a few more capped. I'm not sore about that, I spoke with those involved and we are on good terms, for now. Then msquaredinc sent me another pm, as follows:

And really to post that on your wall is real cool. See when I started I made friends. I earned respect. People like you just cap and don't realize who they are getting involved with. I can tell you where to find loots because i have way more than you but it's not around here.3 hours agoDELETE REPLY
I believe the post on my wall is referring to my Machiavelli quote. But I can't understand why this guy is so anxious to disrespect me and start a fight with me, when I never even capped his turf! And now that I know he is hiding behind an alliance, I can't touch him or I'll be destroyed. I have friends here. As far as I know, I've earned some degree of respect. But who is this guy to talk to me like that? I plant turf near him and he calls his alliance to descend on me, and then alludes to the fact that I am a so-called bully? What is a solo player like me to do?
Just some thoughts. The plight of the non-aligned turfer.

And now I see he's still trying to get his alliance onto me. The two turf he is referring to are mine.

He accidentally posted that on his own wall.

If she only has 6k mob just cap all of her turf. That'll show her

Like you, I too am a stand alone player. We "stand alones" often must walk a tight line between whose we know and those we do not. Especially at a time when there are so many new, insecure and, often, immature players.
How do we do it? We must be respectful, earn respect, demonstrate character and trust a hard earned reputation for integrity proceeds us in our travels. We must be diplomatic (a big mob helps). Most of all, we must build and nurture friendships.
Sometimes that is not enough. What do we do in such a case? Hope for a friend indeed when we are in need. I know this from experience. You learn who your friends are when the sh¡t hits the fan.

A valid point, not so long ago a player I was ruthlessly capping after wiping an area of inactives that I was collecting off decided to PM everyone on the world leaderboard for largest mob telling them I was an ass and needed to be taught a lesson. What happened? I got several PM’s from those players letting me know what he did, all in a laughing matter. Same thing happened when he replied to the post I made on the forums, he got shot down. Never underestimate a player just because he’s not in a formal alliance, it’s difficult to play this game and not make friends/allies along the way.
To the new players out there afraid to cap because of players hiding behind an alliance, start making friends/allies yourself. You don’t have to be in an alliance to enjoy this game or play it the way you want.

Just because you don't have an alliance behind you doesn't mean you don't have Mates behind you.... I like what both the man and OTB have said, great points...

msquaredinc is not a PAX member.

"The man" and OTB in particular have said it all really. If you aren't in an Alliance or a well known one it can all be politics. I can't count the times I've been threatened by smaller mobs by their alliance, only to message someone else I know in the alliance who has pretty much told me they are blowing smoke, sure you might have to compromise, but if your reasonable it's been my experience that so will they.

An alliance is different to having mates... An alliance is a formal arrangement and you are compeled to follow chains of command and fight as told... A mate fights out of friendship and cause he chooses to. There are some players on here who I would fight to the very end for, they just need to say the word and I'll do anything for them....
