Enslavement, enough already...

there should be times when breaking free is impossible or pointless / unprofitable , at the moment your crying because it will take you 9 hours to break free , thats his intention to annoy you , after 8 hours i would log in and double my pr in 10 minutes or so just to enjoy your thread some more, and to see if you would climb for another 9 hours, then ide climb to 100m + just to make it impossible for you to climb out.

by the time the whole fuss over your pride is over you will have wasted like 500x more than if you

1. just pay the tribute like supposed in exchange for protection from atacks , some people prefer money over planets , and protection from being atacked by those empires.
2. alter your income path ( something we know you can do ) to produce 0 credits
3. build some scouts or something till you produce 0 credits
4. in most cases talking to them works , making some sort of pact in order to get free , such as X money , some artifacts etc etc , but in your case it wont , because we ENJOY doing this to you.
5. youve already made it clear that you have nice boarders , so the only reason someone has to enslave you ( taking into account the methods you have that others dont to ensure they get no profit ) is to see this kind of reaction from you.

by making this thread youve made that persons 5 turns worth while and entertained 70% of the server.

if i was to enslave valja i would climb to max pr with a full stack and VM with reinforcements on , muwahaha * cough

Put on your big-girl pants, quit complaining and deal with it, or switch Income type/Race. Problem solved in either scenario.

As an agri terran and a mineral/CG miner on turnbased, I laugh at enslavers. It`s your fault for going commercial or tax. ^_^

Or, of course, you know... you could accept being enslaved. I mean, that`s a vague possibility. It`s not like it`s a hugely significant part of your income that you`ll actually notice, especially since you cannot really make much more cash.

Yeah but you`ve been complaining about the 10x rule for years. :P It`s the same old stuff. And we keep telling you, "Stephen won`t change it." You keep whining. Come up with something new and maybe I would bother reading. ^^;

Though perhaps there is a way around the enslavement question! Who knows. ;)

Offer to buy him a paid, maybe he`ll let ya go.

Of course, then everybody else will start enslaving you for free paids. Maybe you should just offer free paids to all terran/a.miners so that they don`t enslave you.

Well often it is not much trouble at all, sometimes many of us are just looking for reasons to hit somebody, so the request would be a nice reason. You are forgetting that many of us in this game actually enjoy attacking other empires. Plus you should not feel badly, if we don`t want to then we won`t, and if we loose it`s our own fault. SO really Valja, I think you should not be so hesitant to ask around and try to get your master beaten, though i suggest you build up a ways first so right when they get dropped you can free yourself. Or offer you master cookies and\or pie to free you, believe it or not this does work once in a while.

Do you ever stop whining? You`ve been around GC long enough that you MUST be older than 13 by now...

your the 3rd richest empire on RT and i`m sure you have max cash and loads of mins so i don`t know why you are complaining about building to 300mil pr, i see people not on the rich list build up to 100mil+ pr all the time

313.284.710 / 73.606 = 4257 scorps required to break free at 313 mil pr

313.284.710 pr / 3.323.370 = 94.26
94.26 * 6 mins = 565 mins
565 mins / 60 = 9.4 hours of building scorps

This is when friends and fed mates come in handy, to knock down your master as you build to free yourself. You could always just try asking random people to hit them for you, if I am available and it`s not a friend i would be more than happy to smack around someone for you =)

offer a bounty and i`m sure someone will drop him :)
