Yeah I read that but guess what the topic of the thread is ?

Harassment.... should it have a place?


I've said everything I have to say anyways.
This behavior really needs to stop ......... This is the second time it's happened to me in 3 years and it's from the same legion.
The first one spammed me for over a month as well as Randy Manning but it got stopped by Dan. He ended up having to change the Halc trap.

You won't understand how bad it needs to be fixed until it happens to you.
Then it's too late and 9 out of 10 people will quit after a month let alone 3 months.

I'm against that, you can't block someone from attacking you.

Come on. Expect consequences for those actions, too.

FIRST, ME:
When I steal a good planet from someone, I should fully expect to be smacked with endless attacks by their entire legion for at least 2 days -- maybe even much more.
That's consequences to actions, NOT harassment!

When I constantly disable, raid and hack players from a legion which I KNOW has fiercely protective members, I only don't expect the vicious smackdown the FIRST time I do it. But I should fully expect that vicious smackdown the next time I do the same thing.
That's consequences to actions, NOT harassment!

NOW, YOU:
When YOU steal a good planet from someone, YOU should fully expect to be smacked with endless attacks by their entire legion for at least 2 days -- maybe even much more.
That's consequences to actions, NOT harassment!

When YOU constantly disable, raid and hack players from a legion which YOU KNOW has fiercely protective members, YOU only don't expect the vicious smackdown the FIRST time I do it. But YOU should fully expect that vicious smackdown the next time YOU do the same thing.
That's consequences to actions, NOT harassment!

See how this works the same for everyone??? OK? OK! Just stop hitting The Honey Badgers and you won't be "harassed" as you call it. You can keep doing what you're doing, but obviously, there will continue to be consequences for those actions. OK? OK!


Way to gloss over the fact i explained it's nothing do with THB or any of the other legions.

We're hitting THB and well, everyone else on our battle tab because you guys and a whole bunch of others decided to take out our base repeatedly, because of some sort of higher moral ground or some #&$#, that certain people(again, not from your legion) can't be bothered to put into words that make sense, which at the end of the day no one actually cared about.... SO WE KNOW THAT HITTING THB OR ANY OTHER LEGION WILL RESULT IN RETALIATION... But that isn't what this thread is about.

So please, re-read it if you have the time, and place yourself in a position, wherein you've never done anything to a player, but that player hates you for "no reason", and just prevents you from playing with constant spamming of arti's against you... and yes there are a lot more of these types than you would think.

Oh, in case you missed it this time Leon.... THIS THREAD IS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THE PLAYERS CURRENTLY INVOLVED IN THE SMACKDOWN OCCURRING BETWEEN OUR LEGION AND YOURS.



P.S. Please don't open a thread, pretend to read all the pertaining posts, and then post your speech, making the thread all about yourself and your legion.

P.P.S. I give props to the THB members who are actually fighting back, and are doing so, shall we say, in a polite manner(yes you can politely play this game and still be a badass mutha who gets thousands of player kills), and just keeping things to badges/returning like for like numerous raids/hacks against us.

P.P.P.S. People like Negron(my only example i can use from THB, sorry people out of my range, i'm sure you're all nice too :D ), i have time for, i enjoy the comms i get from him, and he won't make a bother of himself in an asshole way if he can see i'm online. I don't know if that is because i just get his persona, or because we try to maintain a level of civility and maturity.

i have seen some good idea's 1 announced by tree and another was announced that i gave a +1 to witch was a mission type that gave a artifact dan could use it as a chain final if he wished to :)

let keep it civil and all have fun :) and good thing i am only badge hunting or poor capzi would of been disabled by me 3 times so far in like a 4 hour period dan need to add more people in my range man capzi shows up faster then any other players and it lucky i reconise his name or he be getting hit every time by mistake lol

I have to post this as I'm sick of the rubbish that gets spouted over and over by blitz! I asked Dan directly regarding the mechanics of the game.

Me
"I would ask for a response regarding game mechanics.
As you know we were all kicked from the dysonians earlier today as is built into the game. The reasons behind this is the apparent harassment or at least the perception of harassment of one of the leaders. I have had a long chat with him on facebook earlier and he feels like a cheat or exploit has been used to repeatedly target him whilst he is disabled with raids and hacks by multiple players.
If you are disabled do you appear on battle tabs? The player has not participated in pvp so there was no way a link could be passed ie no alerts. Within minutes of repairing every time he was being attacked by another player is this possible? He has pasted in our chat him being hit by artifacts and also raided by 2 different players is this possible considering he has remained disabled?"

The response was told to blitz but he chooses not to see that he is the architect of his own destiny.

Dan
"After repairing, you will immediately be placed back in the Battle tab. The longer it has been since you were last attacked, the more likely the player will be near the top of the list."

So this is actually saying if you sit disabled, when you repair you will go on the battle tab immediately. If it has been for a long time you will be at the top. Since the player he is accusing has a limited number of people on his battle tab then it is perfectly feasible and even expected that he will be at the top of the list. No cheating no spies no hacking of the game mechanics, just a paranoid individual that can't see the wood for the trees.

Repair, play the game as you would stop wrongly accusing people.. The person you keep accusing has hit you 2 times in 2 months, how is that harassment?

He had moved on, shame you haven't as now bringing the accusations again will cause him to hit you more frequently. sigh...

That's my bit said I won't respond to any delusional comments.. Read what has been said, try to understand and move on.

So let's get this straight buddy.

I don't repair for days but he just happens to see me right after I repair almost immediately within a 12 hour period of time while he plays ? Btw it's been a lot more than twice. I don't know where you get your information ... nvm I do.

You're obviously getting the story from him because you sure aren't from me. I used to know you but the hate from the whole breakup must have really messed with you even though you hadn't been there long.

Anyways it's just a coincidence that he just catches me every time huh ? 12 hours during the day he just happens to see me within 10 minutes every time ..................

I know when I played I didn't sit and stare at the battle tab the entire time and I didn't look for one person to harass ... you idiot.

You tell me that when you repair and you get hit by the same player every single time within minutes that you wouldn't think something is wrong with that ? Not even a little suspicious ?
That's not paranoia. It's a FACT and like I've said in here many times, you'll know what it is once it happens to you.

It's called being targeted .. By one person to harass you so you can't do what you want to do so you will get so tired of it that you will quit.

Did you read that ? FACTS aren't delusional.

Now go out there and do something that someone says not to even though they've been alerted repeatedly and have this happen to you.
When it does I hope everyone looks at you like you're an idiot, a liar and nuts and see how you feel.

I've heard about the mechanics of the game but that still doesn't explain how he magically hit's me within minutes of me repairing myself in a 12 hour period.
I know if I was looking for someone that I wouldn't be on that much to see them and they would have plenty of time to play without having to worry about me hitting them.
This is why it's harassment. I'm not getting any time during the day to play the damn game.

Do you sit there and stare at the battle tab 12 hours a day ? Have you ever done that ?

If you do then you're not normal and are as bad as he is .. And even if you did, that's the way that you want to live but playing to make someone quit by hitting them constantly is nothing short of ridiculous.
That is harassing someone ... 3 months and I'm hit by one person 99% of the time and no one else. That's paranoia ? Delusional ?

You obviously don't know the history of PA, DOM and HB that most of us went through. You caught the tail end of it and the worst so you'll have your small view of the entire story.

I just want to play the damn game and not have to worry about the same idiot hitting me over and over and over again minutes after I repair EVERY SINGLE TIME just because he gets off on it or thinks it's funny.

If I trusted you, I'd let you log in my account to see for yourself but that's not going to happen.
You'd see how paranoid I am ......... idiot.

I've never seen so many people stick to someones side that does people wrong like this.
Now go hug your buddy and tell him how ridiculous this is that I wrote here.

The topic is :

Harassment.... should it have a place?

The answer is no and yes it has everything to do with anyone getting targeted.
I got targeted with artifacts once about 2 years ago by one guy and now constant attacks by another guy.. Both hinder your game play and don't allow you to enjoy the game or play it effectively.

I'm all for any solution to this because I'd like to play the game one day knowing that the same idiot won't be hitting me, not keeping me in another tab to harass etc ......

Dan can you just do something about it ? .. Anything.

Blitz, you're a hypocrite.

You've done more to deny other players their right to enjoy this game after having spent money on it than anyone else. All Negron ever did was target one pathetic, racist looser.

The last time Dan had to implement a change to correct bad player behaviour, it was a direct response to your bad behaviour.

There have been times over the past two years when I've quite possibly been harassed more than anyone else in this game.

I've been hounded in game, virtually daily, for months and months on end.

I've had the most absolute vilest things you can imagine, that no one should ever have to read, sent to me both via in-game comms and on personal messages in Facebook.

I've had people threaten to show up where I live in real life, and even go so far as to contact members of my extended family (before I set them to "Only Me") and threaten them as well, all over an imaginary spaceship.

And yet, with all that, I still do NOT think hiding from these misogynists and bigots would have served any purpose other than to embolden them to continue to do so to others.

Stand up to them. Don't put up with it. Out them in game and on the forums. Report them to Facebook if
webguydan ignores the issue.

Plain and simple, DON'T TOLERATE IT, and the community here won't either.

Should this thread turn to being off topic, I ask that the moderators delete the posts off topic instead of just locking the thread.

Harassment through Facebook chats is easy. There is a block option and you can contact Facebook and/or the law if stuff gets out of hand.

Dan doesn't have anything for if a player is sitting and hitting your ship over and over preventing you from doing anything unless you have a calming amp on. Which PvP and planet stealing is a big part of this game so just calming amp/ halc isn't a viable long term solution unless you really love to just NPC.

Can you read?
you sit there disabled for days in a row
that means you are highly likely to show up on his bt as soon as you repair.
not many he can see so theres not a whole lot of competition for those slots on his bt.
and hes most likely not staring at his bt if hes online, but probably npcing.
which means keeping the bt refreshed fairly often.
repair like normal an keep playing, ignore it, or halc up. And most importantly shut up.

as for the main topic.
how about an offensive arti limit?

ive been harassed before (not hardcore i admit) when dan begins to handle these issues for us is when the game goes down in quality. it sucks but the good intention of this idea will be abused until the game is ruined

You seem rather dismissive because part of the harassment I mentioned went beyond the game here, but the principle I described, and solution outlined, is the same.

As for what I feel is at the heart of this entire thread, honestly if I'm correct in what the rumor behind this is, then it's just a case of somebody getting a massive taste of their own medicine.

They started it, and can't handle that people got fed up with their tactics of keeping people tabbed all day long, and so now they're getting exactly what they deserve for harassing others in the first place.

The solution is simple, commit to changing tactics, and others will surely reciprocate.

Harassment through Facebook chats is easy. There is a block option and you can contact Facebook and/or the law if stuff gets out of hand.

Dan doesn't have anything for if a player is sitting and hitting your ship over and over preventing you from doing anything unless you have a calming amp on. Which PvP and planet stealing is a big part of this game so just calming amp/ halc isn't a viable long term solution unless you really love to just NPC.

You seem rather dismissive because part of the harassment I mentioned went beyond the game here, but the principle I described, and solution outlined, is the same.

As for what I feel is at the heart of this entire thread, honestly if I'm correct in what the rumor behind this is, then it's just a case of somebody getting a massive taste of their own medicine.

They started it, and can't handle that people got fed up with their tactics of keeping people tabbed all day long, and so now they're getting exactly what they deserve for harassing others in the first place.

The solution is simple, commit to changing tactics, and others will surely reciprocate.

Two things:

1) I think it is sick that Anna and others have taken abuse to the extent of being personally threatened, and even threats to related/friends of those people. Absolutely makes me sick....I like the "war" aspect of this game, but some people are freaking crazy, and take it too far. I would say more, but it's not worth it. Chill the heck out people.

2) I absolutely agree with Anna here (no I'm not being a #*&$, and I see both sides) but from what I know regarding this particular situation...and most others like this....the medicine prescribed is usually a hopped up version of the one they were handing out samples of.

I'm not going to say any more, and I DO NOT stand for harassing others beyond the game (or otherwise over the "limit" of what may be considered ruining the game for a player). In fact, on several...many occasions I have gone out of my way to break down the walls between these types of players and their personal anger towards each other. I was successful many times, and in a couple, not so much. The instances where the involved didn't come to agree and honor the truce if it was made, was a result of the "offended" or "victim" not willing to make amends.

That said, the "victim" has every reason to be pissed off in most cases as these things can become brutal. I don't think they should be allowed to escalate to that point, and result in the loss of great active players in this game. What is a good way to prevent this from happening? I don't have the answer, but Dan and the TOS have already given guidelines regarding harassment. My best advice is - to contact the appropriate individuals in the event you are being harassed to this extreme. If it is personal threats of physical harm, contact FB directly, and possibly the authorities. If it is in-game harassment, report it to Dan. We all know damn well Dan does not want active players quitting for this type of stuff. However...if you are the "aggressive" type, and things escalate, remember what is so often said....yes folks, this IS in fact a war game. Not "real" war though...remember also...it is a GAME.

Edit: Cleaned up the f-bombs for S.Hawkings ;)

Thanks, Ko-Chan. I know we frequently clash, but it's nice to know we're both looking to have fun playing a game, rather than trying to make people miserable, which unfortunately is clearly what some would rather.

Harassment? On Galaxy Legion? Never! The guilty should be made to wear a gimp suit while Dan, in nothing but a black leather thong beats them with a dead cat..... This is what i'm saying....I be be your best friend in the game, or your worst enemy, doesn't matter if we are on the same side or not. Every offensive action you take, has the consequence of you getting it back. That's why Dan had the actions system in place. If you search me out on the BT, attack me and disable me daily, try to zero me while i'm offline, I will make your life hell in this game for as LONG as i wish. I truly believe in just simple badging and moving on, I have never been the one to farm people, unless they deserve it, unlike the almighty Blitz up there who built his stats on farming people over and over and deserves EVERYTHING he gets in the game, other than that, i love everyone.....
PS. If your pissed enough to come to my front door and threaten me over this game, remember this..I"m redneck, i'm from S.E KY, I don't put up with #&$# and you will never be heard from again....probably end up a gimp in my basement. ask Negron, took him months to get out....

This is slightly off topic, but still in keeping with part of the solution. I am mentioning this not just because it is my pet petition I have made repeatedly, but because Dan has said he is entertaining the idea already. One possible solution to such hyper aggression is an official War Mode or Battle Arena. Something that has a defined BEGINNING AND ENDING along with who WON; so there can be no political spinning or flaming. The facts would speak for themselves. Dan said he envisions a "sandbox" type of fight. In other words, when you agree to climb in the ring, everyone knows EXACTLY what they are signing up for. All of us crazy people who would like to see even more brutality in the game (like being able to target and break enemy ship mods- "fire on the engine core!" ;) ), would be put into a spot where we all know the risks. With all the super egos and OCDs in one spot, the rest of you normal folks should be able to play in relative safety. hahaha :lol: :lol:

Now back to the main topic. Annabell and Ko-Chan do make good points. I don't know anyone in the game who has really gone nuts for absolutely no reason. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I am just saying I am not aware of it. Most of the folks I know who start spam bombing or CMing do so only after they themselves feel like they have been pushed and bullied. They reached the, "I won't take this sh#t any more" stage and decided to make their attacker's life miserable. I am not sure that qualifies as harassment.

I'm all for any solution to this because I'd like to play the game one day knowing that the same idiot won't be hitting me, not keeping me in another tab to harass etc ......

Dan can you just do something about it ? .. Anything.


You are insanely stupid, so I have decided to make a list

[*] I like lists

[*] There is no need for a GL bullybox, especially in your situation

[*] This applies to anyone who is being harassed,not just blitz. Although the other ones are at him :D There are many strategies for dealing with people harassing you, but I just use not giving a #&$#. If someone disables you while you are on then set traps, repair, and continue playing. If they want to keep disabling you then let them until you are completely zeroed. Yep disabled and all, that will give you a 24 hour free pass to do whatever you want. But shadow, then i cant pvp without raising my action count.If you get some perseverance eventually the person will get tm locked, run out of energy, or even give up.

[*] The way you are whining on these forums is god damn annoying, and its only proving to your attackers that they are getting to you and they can keep doing what they're doing.( Frankly I don't blame them in your scenario )

[*] This could potentially be the most important point. Do not sit disabled for days at a time! Dan himself said that the longer you are disabled the higher you are on the bt list, and you sit disabled for days at a time.

[*] If there wasn't a legitimate reason behind the attacks I'm sure people your rank would defend you

Reed ..................

The main topic is about all harassment buddy.

Can you comprehend that ?

I've been through spamming artis at me for over a month = HARASSMENT.

Now I'm going through the same thing only the same ^%#* won't stop attacking me when I do repair.
I have to keep healing myself until he feels like stopping ................................................................. = HARASSMENT.

Can you understand and comprehend that buddy ?

Just because you can see someone on the BT very easily doesn't give them the right to HIT you constantly so you CAN'T play the damn game.
As I stated earlier, I don't have the time to play his games.
Everyone that plays this game deserves to be able to play it.

In a war ... yeah it's hammer time 24/7.
When it's not, people need to drop whatever problem that hey have and move on.

Listen and listen good ...

HARASSMENT is HARASSMENT no matter what kind of spin you want to put on it.

Now lets stay on the topic of all harassment ........ ALL of it and not just spamming artifacts all day.
