Deathclaw

 A - You didn't make the topic for it, but you posted wondering why she had the most defenses. I answered that question.

B - I have nothing against her. She is a nice land and cash source. I like her in that aspect.

I'm not weak. Farming is evil. I'm simply a skiff-masser trying to play the game. And I could, too, if people like you didn't keep squashing me.

Why do people attack me so much? I don't have /that/ much land.

It's because people know what you do.  No offense, but I really think you need to switch strategies.  You are very predictable, and people are starting to take advantage of that, knowing that they can easily break through you, and knowing beforehand what you will try to retaliate with.

 Heh.. I can't switch strats.. Skiff-massing is really the only thing I can do..

That cash you took from me had just been sent by Windy.. I can't make much cash on my own. I'm not a good cash source. You don't have anything against me? That's odd, the way you've been acting makes it seem like you do..

 Grrr...
Y'all, chill out!
I agree with Menatus, though-- posting someone's stats when they've done NOTHING to offend you is VERY rude, Deathclaw. I sentence you to twenty lashes with an extremely soggy noodle.
And also, I agree whole-heartedly with point Z.

Hello!

 Well, it doesn't take a genius to know she doesn't have any troops but skiffs... I got through the top twenty with two-million. Then, of course, came the incident with Menatus, and bye-bye poor skiffses...

 Last round, I had nothing but skiffs. I was a land source for the entire game, but I pulled through, staying in the top 20 with my 5.6 mil skiffs... Now, thanks to Deathclaw and his monitoring of my cash and land, I can't even get into the top 30.

 Then switch strategies, for crying out loud!  What do you mean, skiff-massing is the only thing you can do?

Stop complaining and even out your army. I am always looking for land and cash, and you can provide them both.

 Ashyra, when no one's expecting it, you can mass something else and whoop 'em. No one will use skiffs against you. Plus, skiffs are the hardest to mass anyway.

I mass skiffs because no one else does!

Compare mine and Deathclaw's rank.

I'm rank 38.

Deathclaw's rank 13.

Does that not seem similar to the Pansy-Weakling strat?

Dear Forums,
This happened once before,
When I came to your door,
No reply.
I tried to telephone,
They said you were not home,
That's a lie,
No reply, No reply.

And guess what?  Everyone knows that you're one of the few who masses skiffs!  That is why everyone can (and some do) take advantage of you.  You're being stubborn by remaining with skiffs when it's obvious to everyone else that you should switch strategies.

When everyone knows what you do, it negates any advantage you have from being the only one who does it.

hrm..  not really, most know by now that I mass skiffs and leaders on turbo, but that doesnt stop my skiffers from breaking almost everyone..  esp. my newly aquired 20 mil skiffers *pats skiffs*  
yet, I do lose my land incredibly fast..  soo..  *Shrugs*  massing can be a good thing or a bad thing..  depends...

 Ashyra- if you need some help, I'd suggest that you take your skiffs, sell them, buy all rats, and beat the ... out of basically everyone you want to.
