Augh! Zerg Rush! We're boned!

The main issue with the other site is that we get hundreds of posters that come, post once before reading anything else, and then leave. It wouldn't be a problem, but I said the same thing about a Zergling the first time I played starcraft online.

Welcome to the Internet and web fora.

Send out the activation E-Mails yourself. That alone should cut the number in half.

Assign me admin rights, and I'll have that shit sorted out before Wednesday.
Bar that... follow the advice given here.

It's really situational. You go after the big guy if you're new to the group, so people see you're a tough dude who isn't to be messed with. But if you're already the dude who runs things, then either 1. you yourself are the biggest and strongest, or 2. the guy who's the biggest and strongest works for you, and killing your biggest, toughest guy is just shitty business.

But you know the one I really like is where you take a guy you know you can crush, then instead of breaking him right there, build him up into a credible part of your crew, then fuck him around just enough that he turns against you and starts to forment opposition to your rule, then when he finally takes a stand against you, you use your knowledge of his weaknesses to effortlessly destroy him, then crush anyone who dared to follow him.

From what I can tell, this almost registers as a DDOS attack.

I'd suggest an activation wait time. If they have to cool their jets for a few days, they'll be less likely to flood you.



Edit: If they still flood you, I think it's time to reconsider your position and what you have the forum for. 'Cause there are certain factions who tend towards these kinds of things.

All of you are wrong, to an extent. You start with the smallest and the weakest, and just keep moving up whenever they don't get the picture. Eventually they catch on or you end up killing the biggest and strongest opposition anyways.

Or what Fifthfiend says, because that is delectibly (sp?) cruel.

Delectably is the correct spelling.
