  - I totally think Stacy is someone's persona, but I think we're in the minority. - Inigo Apr 23, 09:26 15

        Yeah, I have to be honest, I was trying to explain her "situation" to Ashlee yesterday, and I still don't quite know what it is. - Stephen Apr 23, 09:32

You know you have a great whale when your entire combat report page only has only one name on it -- nm - Beaker Apr 23, 08:28 28
- basher. -- nm - loosilu Apr 23, 08:29 27
  - unpossible, every attack has been all of my ships - 24 (about 2.5 hours on average), splitting it between 3 cities. - Beaker Apr 23, 08:31 26
    - I thought it was reestablished that the bashing rule was 6 total per player, not per city. -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 08:54 23
      - This would be new as of a few months ago... - Mel Profit Apr 23, 09:12 9
        
        I could be wrong, but I thought I saw this interpretation. - Reagen Apr 23, 09:15 4
        
        It looks like we'll need to find the answer again on the boards... - Mel Profit Apr 23, 09:18 3
        
        it sounds clear in the wiki. "You can attack a single city for a maximum of six times per 24 hours. " -- (link) - loosilu Apr 23, 09:22 1
        
        And there was this in a Support Thread from Babyfirefly, who is a game official... - Mel Profit Apr 23, 09:29

        whose town and which player? that's what I'm confused about. - loosilu Apr 23, 09:15 3
        
        My understanding... - Mel Profit Apr 23, 09:16 2
        
        see, my understanding is that you can attack any of the other players towns a total of 6 times, per town, in 24 hours - tRuMaN Apr 23, 09:27 1
        
        that's my understanding as well. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 23, 09:29
      - yeah, I thought it was 6 times, regardless of town, but the rules dont say either way really. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 23, 08:59
      - does that mean can bash one city six times total, or six times for each of the schmuck's cities? -- nm - loosilu Apr 23, 08:58 4
        
        you can attack any of an opponent's cities 6 times each per a 24 hour period. - Reagen Apr 23, 08:59 3
        
        phew -- nm - loosilu Apr 23, 09:00 2
        
        but then, bashing has to be reported, as I understand it. -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 09:01 1
        
        not sure. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 23, 09:02
      - "It is not allowed to attack any given city owned by a player over 6 times in a single 24 hours period." -- nm - decline Apr 23, 08:57 6
        
        Is this stated in a new thread somewhere on the game boards? -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 23, 09:13
        
        Even if they're inactive? -- nm - Stephen Apr 23, 08:58 4
        
        as it does not specify player status I would assume status is irrelevant -- nm - decline Apr 23, 08:59 1
        
        the only time bashing is allowed is when your alliance has declared war on another alliance - tRuMaN Apr 23, 09:01
        
        yes -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 23, 08:59
        
        yes. -- nm - loosilu Apr 23, 08:59
