NO, to say so is to make an assumption that the higher rank player is always more powerful. And, for the lower rank to say he is being bullied, is to admit that he is indeed weaker. On another note, crying "bully" maybe a good strategy for a lower ranked player.

BUT, to declare a legion war over a mere planet is just being warmonger. Not that there's anything wrong with that according to the rules of the game but just not my style. A personal vendetta would be more to my liking.


ummm what planet cause if some one took one of my good ones i would hunt them down and attack them when ever i can, and if there legion got involved then i would hit them to.
Best thing to do is say give back the planet or it's war. IT'S NOT BULLING IF THEY START IT I only emphasize that part do to the fact I had ppl try to say it on me, u cant start stuff then cry when you get hit back. :ugeek:

Bullying involves repeated acts over time attempting to create or enforce one person's (or group's) power over another person (or group) , thus an "imbalance of power".

War is bulling, you are just arguing that your bulling is justified. I am not saying weather or not it is a justified tactic for playing this game, just don't complain about the title if thats the way you play.

if they still hit back your good, But if they take the beating them its kinda bad, then i could see some one trying to say bullies but even then with them starting it the solution is simple give back the planet or one of equal or grater value if you fluxed it. then u stop getting smashed.

Its not my planet, it is one of my legionmates but that is not that topic of this thread. Please don't threadjack. The discussion for this thread is if a small legion attacks a big legion. Is the big legion being "bullies" when they fight back?


No, that isn't the topic of this thread. Your first post lays it all out in one line:

And you have your answer, repeatedly, from the overwhelming majority of responders. YES. It is bullying for a much more advanced legion to declare war on a much weaker legion over the theft of a single planet.

To your new question - is it bullying for a a big legion to fight back against a small legion? Of course not, so long as it's a measured response. It's been said repeatedly as well that you should take the planet back and beat the snot out of the person who took it, and anyone who defends the taken planet. That's a reasonable, non-bullying response.

No. Kaos I wouldnt worry about the "bully" image as u already know if a big ship even breathes in a small ships direction the whining comes. They attacked and invaded a planet. If someone attacked and invaded a city in a country dont you think that country will do whatever it takes to get it back?

Point in turn, it doesnt matter if it is a lower level player from ANY legion, they stepped out and tried to take what is yours, PERIOD. And they also KNEW who they were attacking so its open season on them. :twisted:

No, it's not bullying. Just because a legion is smaller, that does not give it protection. "War" though is a broad set of actions. I totally expect to be hit and hit often for a planet invasion, and if it's multiple people hitting me or my legion, I get that. If they manage to take a planet back or a completely different planet, well- that happens, and it's fair.

Where bullying happens, it is calling in people with 500-1000 levels to dogpile 100 or 200 level people for days and days. Beating on people with no hope of matching even one opponent much less several, is purely an intimidation tactic and therefore may be considered bullying. Proportionality, as I've said before, is the key. Vent your anger, take a planet back if you can, move on.
