and the conclusion to that line of reasoning is, so if you could stop attacking LS you can all go back to playing

I can see how some people might come to that conclusion, but since the attacks were pretty organized at that point I still think what most people got out of it was:  if so many of you stop trying to hit him at once and instead space out your attacks some more you might actually be able to get through (yes, there was an attempt to space out the attacks sufficiently from the start, but it was apparently not enough).  

Frankly, I don't think the message mattered at all b/c everyone seemed to have already come to the realization that the attacks had taken down the server.

the admins put a little blurb in there mantinece page once or twice, stating that the site being down was due to attacks on LS, now it was probably the truth, but still, don't you think putting something like that on the page would make people want to stop hitting him so they could actually get into their accounts

Well it did make them stop attempting to hit him all at once so that the server could go back up and some attacks could actually go through  Cheesy

I have no idea what the actual intent of the admins was with that, but to me it was more like:
Good job guys- you've managed to get enough people together that instead of taking LS down you took down the server  Tongue

note the admins pointed out that mass attacks are now less effective, got to take care of their favorite account

If you're referring to LS, I'm pretty sure if the admins had to choose a favorite it wouldn't be him, but maybe you meant someone else  Wink  

The suggestion on curbing mass attacks by small armies came from a number of people and was (at least in part) to cut back on the benefits of using fake accounts.

In case anyone hasn't been over to GUA lately:

LS tries to explain why he LOST

Thanks to everyone who helped take him down (that is, if you didn't attack orc00 too  Tongue ).

Well Tracy's been rotated off but I do notice at least one TGA member  Cheesy

If anyone else is interested in helping out now would be a great time - I don't think anyone here wants to see LS finish the age in first place.  Plus you have the opportunity to join a truly odd temporary alliance   Tongue
