As everyone here probably knows, I'm a Christian, so I went looking for Christian alliances at DT and found two that I enjoy - The Christian Alliance and Christian Knights.  What I didn't know is how many times people would be declaring war on them just because of the fact that they're a Christian alliance.

It was tough building and getting constantly mass-attacked, but survivable.  I didn't want to quit the alliance just because being a member was tough, but it did occur to me from time to time.

Well, this time it's more than a mass-attack situation.  Think of a word worse than war and it will suffice - maybe the word "murder" would be nice.  There's an alliance by the name "Dark Mass" who started out massing the heck out of me.  Then I started getting more and more... and more attacks.  I'm guessing these came from the several allies Dark Mass has.  

I realize the fact that DT is just a game and all that, but this has gotten to the point of annoyance.  I never thought players in a game could annoy me this much.  

So some questions for the experienced players... before I rant and rant and rant:

1.  It would be wrong for me to leave Christian Alliance just because I can't handle the pressure, right?  

2.  If I do leave Christian Alliance, will the alliances who were in war with them still attack me so freakin much?

Or should I just grit my teeth and stick in there?

Ultimately, DT is about fun - do whatever is the most fun/least unfun.

If you're not enjoying it, then leave the alliance... but then again it might not make a difference; the people might still attack anyway. So ... bleh.



I've got over two thousand attack turns if you wanna give me to bash some people. Smiley

It's pointless attacking most of them, because they have no defensive soldiers, which means I had to untrain mine also.  DT is cool, but that's what I really dislike about it.

Well, I could just let them attack and attack... sooner or later they're going to level up and out of range, right?

Well, that's what is weird about the leaders of Black Mass - TheCount and TheCountess.  I try to attack them back to take their gold, yet their gold never goes up... I've been watching it closely.  The only idea I have is that when they get online to play, they pile up all of their citizens as miners, get a load of money, then when ready to sign off, they simply put them back on offense.

Yes, they are watching me.  They've got about 4 different people obviously keeping me on close watch - once my gold is starting to raise up, they attack in a planned fashion.  One thing I've gotta give the is that they've got their stuff down.  3 or 4 of them get on at the same time and each of them attack me only once or twice a piece, so they can do it pretty much every time they sign on.  

They did have several minor players (more annoyances than threats) attacking me when I had defensive soldiers just to kill a few more of them and I guess to make sure I move up levels as the main attackers do.  Those don't attack anymore, though (seeing that my defensive soldiers have been taken out)... unless they catch me with an inviting amount of gold.  

TheCount has finally moved up a level, so he can't attack me.  Heh... all I have is 100 points to the next level, though.  So, basically, I can't retaliate against the minor players.


I swear... it's like trying to swat a fly. :unsure:

Well if they're going to keep a close watch on you, it's obvious that no matter what alliance you're in you're still going to get attacked b/c they know that you're Christian.  How many of them are there exactly?

You know and maybe those people are cheating and using Auto buyers or something.

Roughly 8 of them.  It's hard to tell with the defense log, though.  I've had 8 players attack me regularly, so I'm guessing they are all from the same alliance.  I've never been attacked like that before.

Will one of you guys send them a message or something... try to scare them away.  It's all I can think of seeing that I can't attack them because of the 0 defense tactic.

The names are:

1.  TheCount
2.  The Countess
3.  Darkside
4.  Gein

The rest of them are either minor players or have defense.  I'd really appreciate it a lot.
