...with Plug1, and coaching from Pete.
I've noticed that attacks, when they happen to a high gang, happen very very quickly, and are usually devistating. For example, when we decided that the "blood" gangs were no longer to be in our alliance and started running attacks on them, they fell about 7 regional ranks, and got hammered for approximately 3 billion in the course of about 2 hours. Now, of course this was not all due to us alone attacking, but as soon as the wound appears, the gangs are very much like pirahna.
All of the top gangs tend to do their attacks the same way I'm trying to. Typically, they won't expend a lot of effort and time on strong players, but as soon as they find a not-so-full-strength guy to exploit, they'll hammer that one guy right down into the 7-digit total worth range, and the whole way down, the rest of the gang is losing g's sending in reinforcements on an already lost battle.
Soooooo.......that's why I get freaked out when I see a bunch of 0's in your G screen. You haven't been attacked when you've been down simply because you're lucky, but if it happened, we would have been fucked for a few days.
Trust me on this, there are at least 2-3 times/day that we come across some weak-ass guys. It's been that way for the couple of months I've been playing. Sometimes it's hard to be patient, and you want to make shit happen, but it really hurts in the long run. After those attacks you made this morning, I had no choice but to merc you up, and at this stage of the game, with relatively little total worth, mercs really chew up drugs fast. And in the end, you ended up with a net loss because of the mercs protecting your vulnerable ass ;-)
What I'm going to try to do, if possible is keep trying to make attack announcements on the forum, but like I said, that's sometimes difficult because shit happens so fast.
Anyway.....no long term harm done.
Good luck.......have a good rest of the weekend.....I'm still working, dammit
