I'm also not debating *how* ingle was able to retal me, but wondering *why* someone would choose to do so in the given situation.
DO YOU *HONESTLY* WONDER THAT? IT IS NOT COMPLICATED. IT IS CALLED REVENGE.
PLAYERS WHO HAVE HAD THEIR SET *RUINED* BY A CAVALCADE OF HITS FROM COUNTRIES MUCH MUCH LARGER THAN THEIRS, GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO INFLICT PAIN ON *ANY* ONE OF THOSE WHO ADDED A BOOT ON THEIR NECK, ARE GOING TO TAKE IT.
REMIND ME, WHAT'S YOUR STANDARD ANSWER TO OTHER PLAYERS WHEN THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT GETTING BOTTOMFED? IF MEMORY SERVES, IT'S SOMETHING LIKE "YOU SHOULD HAVE PLAYED BETTER. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE FALLEN BEHIND."
TO QUOTE INGLE: "He dropped his turrets near the end of the game to a level where a 30 million nw country could grab a 84 million nw country"
IN OTHER WORDS...
YOU SHOULD HAVE PLAYED BETTER. YOU WERE AHEAD, AND YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED AHEAD. YOU CHOSE TO DROP TROU, AND SO FELL BEHIND THE DEFENSE OF THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAD HIT INGLE, AND HE NOTICED THAT BARE ASS AND LAID A SPANKING ON IT.
NO AMOUNT OF BOO-HOOING ON THE FORUMS IS GOING TO CHANGE THE FACT THAT YOU HAD IT ENTIRELY IN YOUR CONTROL TO AVOID THAT HIT. YOU TOOK A (MAYBE CALCULATED, MAYBE JUST ENTITLED AND ARROGANT) RISK, AND YOU GOT BURNED.
TL;DR VERSION: QQ MOAR, N00B
