The first incident. When you fellows found our base and invaded, ran out of figs, then passed the location on to C1 so they could hold it for a while.

And silence I can take it, I am not the one that mega'd to take them out.. That is not even in my vocabulary of TW terms. Never have and never will do that. If my corp can't take it alone then our bad.

Heh.
I only joined the game like 2 days ago, so I'm no where near as bitter as most of the peeps involved, now that I've gotten over the shock.

I think we didn't need to do it. I think it was a mistake.

Blowing thier port would have been what I would have recomended, had I been asked. Nobody asked me tho. Shrug, I was either sleeping, or at work anyway, so I don't hold that against anyone. You sometimes have to make calls and take risks when you are playing, and sometimes you don't have time to get everyone's opinions. Most of the time, things turn out ok. Sometimes they don't.

Blowing a port isn't megga corping. It's ruthless...

Had I had my .02 input, I would have capped all the ships, pounded on the planet a few times, then blown the port, and waited. There was just enough info in the logs for people on the other corp to connect the dots. Then I would have furiously checked the logs, and when I saw some action going on, I would have totally joined the party and started photoning anything that even TRIED to move in those sectors. Might have killed everyone, or at least done some damage to the other corps. Nothing's funner than crashing in on an invasion partay!

So, NO that isn't megga corping, that's laying a trap.

If I had to be bitter about anything, it's that I had the PERFECT trap setup to kill Sil, and never got to use it.
(Shhhh... We can use it later on others... [:D])

That is largely incorrect. We found your base, correct. We could not take the L4, correct (didnt even try, we use planet scanners and simple arith, unlike the idiots on your corp). You moved the L4. AFTER it had flown out, we told C1 where you had been. They spent figs invading the (now useless) planets left behind, thereby improving our fig ratio vis a vis yours and theirs. I didnt know that you compounded our tactic by trying to take them back from them, roflmao !

hmmm ok, so after reading all these posts. someone correct me if I'm wrong....
first Sil u didn't hold the lead as u led us to believe.... ftr wise
Second, the first mega corping never happened, u had moved, so u won't there, they passed info on to weaken the other corp... how can u claim that as mega corping????? That is a smart stratgy move from what I read. Now I'm not saying that the Mega didn't happen, but the facts are misleading building up to it happening, and I agree with the blowing the port and capping ships and makin it a big trap for all. That is the best move I heard offered in this whole thread. Traitor... u go...lol, smart man, good player.

read the logs zarkahn, then tell me it wasn't a megacorp. The entire invasion was done by c2, who has already said in this thread that they did not have the figs to do it. there was no info passed, just figs.

Also, zark, the first invasion, C3 warped out their L4 but there were a couple L2 and L3 in the sector. I am the one who went in there a few hours after the fact and yes, I was told the location. It cost very few figs.

My motives were strictly personal......meaning all about ME. I have rarely taken part in any invasions. It was practice for me. C3 had left those planets behind. It made no sense for c3to go back. I had to deal with some sector figs and very little ore and figs on the planets. It was just good experience for me, cost the corp very little. Perhaps some will see it as no different from the final invasion. I am not letting myself off the hook by any means.

maggie

oops, take that last msg back and direct it to kav....cause I'm not speaking to zark heh

OK, heres my take on this whole fubar. Telling another corp where to find an enemy's base is not megacorping. Its kind of a low tactic, but often an effective one since you can get your enemies to fight (and weaken) each other. I've used it before, but I'm not proud of it and don't make a habit of it.

Actually giving another corp fighters with which to effect an invasion is a clear case of megacorping and as such I would consider it to be cheating.

info sharing is low.
i've done cussed out some mofo's for that ****.
however, if stuff appears in the logs by itself (like traitor suggested) then that is *not* info sharing.
and if you happen to join in the party when they are both weak and you omfgpwnzerizerer both corps at once, well, i guess you are just kick Butt.
i recall a game where i think jher's corp was invading du's corp.
cept jher picked up a limp.
so i let him go for a bit, let the corps give each other some deaths, waste some figs, then i went in guns a blazing.
i was *accused* of being told where they were.
i said hey, limp's don't count as info sharing, n00b.
and i got i think like 4 planets in that deal.
what you guys did (wasting your figs for no gain) is just plain retarded.
when i join a game, i have corpies, and i have enemies.
there is no inbetween.
the latter recieves no mercy nor quarter.
they shall all fall before my hands.
i will however do so with honor.
i will defeat them with my own assets or those assets in which i have stolen (not been given) from other corps.
winning a game on your own, and winning a game because you infoshared/duped/megacorped are two different things.
as for "is megarob a bug"
no.
it *was*.
it no longer is.
and "is alien farming a bug?"
if you are refering to the planet bug, then yes.
people who use it, are using a bug.
they are weak losers who can't win a game on their own.
**** em.

thats my .02
so suck it.

Well after looking at all this crap I had this to say, megacorping is in my oppinion any information or assets that are traded to anouther corp. If someone for c2 or c1 tells the other one where c3's base is, that is megacorping. Sharing information is just as mad as sharing assets and should be looked highly down apon.


Bait

Darn good thing that FDR (US President, for those who aint Yanks) did'nt do a fig count when he allied with England. Even gave the Commies assets, eeeeck. Very unfair. Herr Adolf war nicht happy

It's a really Darn good thing that this is a computer game and not World War II.

Yeah, or we would all be screwed for megacorping. Well at least some of us, but not me I am like Slim in that respect, if me or my corp can't do it alone, it isn't worth the mega.

This is a game not a real life station where people are loosing lives daily.
