It's normal these days in grepo to betray people , hugging and doing stuff behind someones back etc.The players thinking/mentality wrt the game has changed. Way to many folks Take it way to serious. The increasing use of Gold has turned the use of Great Tactics, Timing and Teamwork to achieve an objective into "How much will this cost to repair/replace" from the recipient and the Sobs Golded their way back INTO PLAY RIGHT AWAY" from the attackers.
I recently had a Ghost receive tons of attacks, at one point I had 191 incoming ,they just kept adding attacks.
Turned into an Alliance sized battle, which was one of the better I have had in Hyper..
Tons of BPs for all .. I sent them a Congrats letter, Alliance wide, mentioning specific players and giving them a BZ (its a Good Thang)
..only threw slight shade at their leader.. Wishing him a speedy rebuild ;{)
2 players replied one told me to get "stuffed" and the other appreciated the recognition..neither reply was their Leader
There was a time when old opponents became some of the best alliance mates now folks seem to forget this is a game and not a portion of their junk
