As per dragon's advice, I am posting here that my tag is f3ar, just a one man tag. I just netgain by myself. If any clans are interested in pacts, just shoot me a message.

Fear u are already on our DNH :)

and have been offered a home. :-)

As late in the set as it is, there really shouldn't be any country or clan grabbing you, but ESD is happy to give you a DNH,

If you decide to play solo next set, please send me a PM or make a post on FFAt stating your tag, and ESD will make you an ally.

Now when you say FFAt, you mean these boards here correct?

yes.

FFAt = Free For All Talk

Good move, fearvendor. Once we have an idea of who you are, we're generally much kinder to you than if we think you might be some suicider biding your time to screw us over.

Welcome to the community!

also, panlv, esd, or tko could give you good tag protection to net if you chose to join one of them.

Very true.

A few other tips:

1) As previous people have said, either keep a presence here on FFAT (as you're beginning to do here) or join one of the bigger netting clans. TKO is the biggest netgaining clan, PANLV is just behind them, and ESD is a smaller netting clan, but very good.

2) If you're going to go alone, be sure you have one country that can do retals for those who hit you. Basically, the idea is: if I hit you, theres an unwritten rule that you can hit me back once and that ends all hostilities between us. Now, if I hit you, and you don't hit back, then I know you're not going to do anything when I take your land. So I'm probably going to take more of your land. If you retal and get most/all of your land back, I might try to find better targets that are less likely to retal. This country can be heavy jets, but don't use it to start any hostilities with anyone else. Most of the netters on this server get very touchy if you have a country with almost all jets and start initiating landgrabs with that country. (If this doesn't make sense, ask and either I or someone else will explain further).

3) Again, if you go alone, get pacts with at least a few clans. Most clans will probably give you what's called a NAP (Non-Aggression Pact) meaning they won't hit you and you won't hit them.

4) If something bad does happen to your countries, the best way to handle it is to ask for a contact from that clan here (at least if it's a clan that has a presence here). Most of us are very reasonable when you come and talk to us 1-on-1. However, if my clan hits you 5 times in a day and you make a big deal out of it on the boards instead of doing it privately, you make us look bad, and since we have 200 countries and you have 16, that doesn't put you in a good bargaining position if we're in a bad mood. In private, most of us are very respectful people who are willing to discuss the issues. If we've wronged you, we'll do something to make the situation right.

If Dragon or any of these other kind people offer more advice, it's probably sound. And if something doesn't sound like good advice, ask. If you seem to be trying to do things right, we'll probably cut you some slack.

^ Good fluff, Twain ! You runnin' with Dragon, as "good dude" helping others with useful directions and such. You go boyyyy = )


p.s. f3ar. you oughtta apply @ ESD, it' s the "In-thing" rot na ; )

Yea I understand retalling and all of the basic fluff, I just figured if i was chill they would leave me be as i have never attacked anybody else. I really didnt even care much till i came back from 4 days camping and was down like 50k land. I kind of thought by retalling since these clans are so much bigger i would get farmed even harder. I guess i was wrong lol. Not bitter about it, just wanted to know what was up. Didnt mean to offend anybody by posting it publicly, had no idea it mattered. Now i know to retal away so its all good.

You are welcome to join Ninja next set, we are netgaining :) Most who are playing also do not hit untags or one man clans.

I would put you on DNH, but it's just me in my tag right now :P

Since everyone else is getting their recruitment messages in:

I'm in PANLV. We rock. We won Total Networth last set and we're going to farm Dragon and ESD all next set for funsies (don't tell them though, it's a secret). So if you decide to join a clan, join us.
