I am SAS and I figured I might have a say. Durtbag was at war but decided to Landgrab me while the country concerned was over 60 hits in DR, a good topfeed that scored him 3000 acres + ghost. I contacted Durtbag and informed him that if it was still in DR the next day I would take the retal on one of his other countries. Of course the next day he had ensured he was still in dr so I retalled one of his other countries, because it wasn't a top feed I only got back 1000 acres so Durtbag was still 2000+ acres (+ ghost) up on the deal but he decided to retal my retal. Not only that but he decided to show me how intimidating and awe inspiring he could be by adding 2 more grabs, just to let me know not to mess with him. Each one of those grabs netted 3000+ acres so I was down over 10k acres.
Now I run an all explore netting TAG, I don't self farm, I don't land trade and I don't go out landgrabbing, especially on those I think I can push around because of how awesome I am. I will, however, retal every land grab on me and react to every person who thinks they can push me around, it doesn't matter if there are 16 countries in your tag or 600. This can sometimes be my downfall but so be it.
Durtbag contacted me and said 'we need to talk' so I went to his chat where he basically informed me that I should appologise, he would go easy on me, all I had to do was accept his killing one of my countries and we would leave it at that. I politely declined his generous offer and was informed that he would TAG kill me this set and sets to come. Well to start with he could not have tag killed me this set, not without outside help, and if he wants to FS a netting clan next set then I will be here, I won't hide behind another TAG name or come back with 200 new Allies, I will be here and I will be SAS so I am sure Durtbag can find me as he seems to have packed a sad and gone home this set.
It was short and mildly fun while it lasted but now it's back to normal again I guess.
