I wonder why?

And yes he really should have had his shields raised

Im not talking about anything recently he has had the snot beat outa him in the past.

Recently he did have his shields down though I think, and I got "the snot" beat out of me on turbo and valhall for not raising shields :-\

I see no shields
I call that fair game

All resource massers /must/ keep shields permi-raised

My shields were raised...

We currently have our defences on the highest alert which will last for 1717.8 more hours.

For turbo, that's too long. We play for 28-31 days... which means you should never need shields longer than 744 hour, period, as that's a complete month. Even then strike 24 hours off for starting off.

I noticed that, even when raised, resource massers can seriously lose a lot from sacks and stealing. The good thing is that no indyer can be successful against a leader, but some leaders are better at stealing than others. Again, diminishing returns.

Take a guess at how much longer the round will last--this round will continue for about 11 days more IIRC, so you should have no more than 264 hours raised or so. Use the turns for something else in those cases. :P

If you have your police set to 100% then that helps alot.

On that note, Martens and Wolves are still quite unprotected--police at 100% protects from sacking, but if someone (like a stoat especially or other martens/wolves with better ratios) decides to steal or poison, the damages are much greater. If you're being online'd, by all means, swap defenses to block more efficiently.

I wasnt talking about steals or poisons...and it helps quite a bit.
