This is separate from the hostile bid by Mr. Josef Lenin on KB. I was recently bid on by the player Edwin K on LU of the country "The land of Ed". My normal response in these situations is to count my money and grin. However, due to rampant boredom, I decided, Hey, why not boycott the guy? So given this idea since I can't otherwise harm him behind secured mode or terrorize his slaves behind war levels or drop nukes on his neighbor or take out a bunch of loans and debt bomb him . . . but wait, I CAN'T PUT ONE DAMN BOYCOTT HIM! All I want is one boycott on a pesky noob, just one itty-bitty boycott . . . and I don't get it. WHAT CAN I DO!? I'm bored to tears, you understand, to tears, and I can't BOYCOTT somebody that hostile bid on my corporations. I can't do anything!
THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I just want to be able to do something! in response except twiddle my thumbs. |
| Scarlet (Little Upsilon) | Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 01:38 am
Okay, I sent him an angry letter.
It's not the same.  |
| SuperSoldierRCP (Little Upsilon) | Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 02:11 am
I KNOW THIS FREAKING LITTLE NOOB BOUGHT 3 OF MY CORPERATIONS!!! the ask me to move some in then i do then BAM gone |
| Josias Jorvick (White Giant) | Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 02:31 am
thats when you look for your 2T market value corps, lol |
| Scarlet (Kebir Blue) | Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 02:40 am
It's not about the money, damn it! It's about having an excuse to do something. I want to take action against people that cross me. |
| Maestro2000 (Golden Rainbow) | Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 02:45 am
he is bidding on one of mine |
| Blueserpent | Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 02:59 am
i like to find their ceo and mass buy all their corps...they cant block that  |
| Scarlet (Little Upsilon) | Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 03:00 am
CURSE YOU TOM WILLARD! |
| Psycho_Honey | Friday, December 17, 2010 - 03:53 am
Can't really blame Tom for that. The real person to blame is on your federation. |
| Aaron (White Giant) | Friday, December 17, 2010 - 04:06 am
its really the fault of whoever came up with secured mode. |
| SuperSoldierRCP (Little Upsilon) | Friday, December 17, 2010 - 04:40 am
u should be allowed to boycott anyone |
| Psycho_Honey (Little Upsilon) | Friday, December 17, 2010 - 04:48 am
@Aaron, I guess so if you wanted to look that far back. Secured mode and it's implications are far less severe than war levels. Let's just be honest and straight forward. By comparison of the two - there is no comparison. |
| Justin Charest (Little Upsilon) | Friday, December 17, 2010 - 05:11 am
This Guy is the EXACT same thing and it's doing this to me.
BTW: Sorry about the username, the game got it off my e-mail and won' let me change it. |
| The Silverhilltrader (Kebir Blue) | Friday, December 17, 2010 - 11:40 am
Can't wait to see when he tries to grow his empire beyond just one little country. |
| Aaron | Saturday, December 18, 2010 - 04:09 am
@PsychoHoney, yeah I know I just need to moan about it sometimes, really I just need to complain sometimes or I feel left out. lol |

No response from Edwin K, so here was the original message received. reference:
Hello
From: Moldavia
To: Beast Mode
Real Date: 15-12-2010 21:44:10
World Date: August 04 2711
Subject: Hello
Message: Hello, You are receiving this message because you have 1 or more corperations in the land of Ed. There has been a significant policy change in this country. You all have 3 days to move you corperations out of my country. After that the tax will be raised and those company's who are still here will be nationalized. Thank you for your time. Yours truly, Me
*Notice: the country name has recently been changed from "the land of Ed" to "Moldovia". |
| CorporatePartner (Little Upsilon) | Sunday, December 19, 2010 - 09:23 am
Two messages were sent directly to that leader at that country, asking to re-consider, etc., and offering help, as well as strongly suggesting some comment on the forum. Thus far, no response anywhere.
Interesting how easy it is to post messages asking for corporations to come, then how difficult it seems to be when you want to nationalize...
Anyways, it's just a risk CEOs take. If you don't want risks, then just build in your own countries...unfortunately, countries don't have the same risks, when in secured mode, and "too new to be boycotted". Probably if some CEO is still upset, the only other option would be some Security Council resolution which Scarlet didn't mention yet as an option. |
| Blueserpent | Sunday, December 19, 2010 - 12:49 pm
I dont see the problem. He doesnt want the corp in his country, asked you to move it, gave you notice, so move it.I take it a bid came in cos u left it there longer than the 3 days. |
| Navamin (White Giant) | Sunday, December 19, 2010 - 01:27 pm
All active and decently run corporations in my country, the Kingdom of Navamin will be given top priority when it comes to employee distribution and policy. In the very near future, we'll have a surplus of workers and will be looking for more corporate partners. At present, we haven't performed any nationalizations, but if you neglect your corporations or become inactive...we will. If you have an urgent need to move a corporation, send me the important details of your corporation and I'll see if it's possible. |
| Scarlet (Kebir Blue) | Monday, December 20, 2010 - 09:41 am
I would like to be 100% clear: the problem is that we cannot boycott him in response, not that he nationalized! |
| Laguna | Monday, December 20, 2010 - 01:08 pm
You could shut up about it. |
| Scarlet (Kebir Blue) | Monday, December 20, 2010 - 01:29 pm
What would that accomplish, Laguna? |
| Navamin (White Giant) | Monday, December 20, 2010 - 03:21 pm
Just to repeat...if you are a CEO and want to move a corporation to Navamin, let me know. We have some openings. |
| Scarlet (Kebir Blue) | Monday, December 20, 2010 - 03:31 pm
Unfortunately, I am not located on WG. I admire your persistence in advertising though. |
| Psycho_Honey (Little Upsilon) | Monday, December 20, 2010 - 09:27 pm
@aARON, AT THIS POINT, i THINK YOU'VE EARNED YOUR RIGHT TO GRUMBLE
Edit: Sorry, damned caps lock! |
| Psycho_Honey (Little Upsilon) | Monday, December 20, 2010 - 09:30 pm
"In the very near future, we'll have a surplus of workers and will be looking for more ." ~Navamin
Lmao! |
| BaneslayerAngel (Little Upsilon) | Monday, December 20, 2010 - 11:37 pm
I mean really, no threat of declares, might as well just hostile bid entire enterprises in your empires..what are they going to do?
"hey..
HEY YOU!...
please stop.." |
| Laguna | Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - 03:05 am
LOL! |
| Josias Jorvick (Little Upsilon) | Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - 10:37 am
hey, this method is old, but it still works!!!
when they are nationalizing, you can move the corp, countries can not control corps in other countries.
Message: The auction of Brackley Services in Nevrondona Rises ended undecided because no acceptable bid exceeded the current market value of 9973 Million $E
and no, zen did not bid on it
so you do have something you can do to stop it!!! |
| Navamin (White Giant) | Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - 12:56 am
Navamin Best Bread...mmm, just like mom would make if she could bake. Why buy only a loaf when you can buy the whole company? Start your bidding today. |
| Scarlet (Kebir Blue) | Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - 01:02 am
Haha.

| SuperSoldierRCP (Little Upsilon) | Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - 01:09 am

Nope, not deleted, still there but my artwork was deleted twice. I was going to call you a dick again but I'll refer you to the quote above that you think is acceptable. Oh and how about some art you decided to keep yet delete the one that obviously took hours to do, with no offensive content.

Why stop at just Navamin Best Bread when you can buy the Wheat that makes the bread. Navamin Best Bread and Navamin Wheat Pool...we'll even let you swim in it. |
