A couple Do's and Don'ts about "farming"

Discussion in 'Strategy' started by lIlThe-EnforcerlIl, Sep 27, 2012.

  1. I wanted to post a couple do's and don'ts in case you get "farmed".

    But first off: please remember this is a war game...
    "Farming" doesn't really exists in a wargame. You're not growing crops are you?
    The term "farming" is from back in de OSF days. It was a unwritten rule not to hit those more than 5x in 24 hours.
    The OSF days are over, instead there are EB's now...

    Now a couple don't if you find yourself getting "farmed":

    - Don't whine in the forums. This will only get you more "farming"
    - Don't whine on your opponents wall. Usually farmers enjoy this and keep hitting to collect more tears . Besides that you wouldn't want to give your opponent a easy link would you?
    - Don't keep gold out, your gold would just disappear. Bank instead. Buy pots (attack pots that is, these can't be burned if you're getting hit/stripped) or allies.
    - Don't go whining to your opponents owner. He might just farm you to because he hates the whining.
    -
    A couple Do's if your under fire (getting farmed)

    - Do bank your gold
    - Do report incoming in CC (defenetly if your in a warclan)
    - Do check your opponent; is he in a war clan, what is his build, what is his TZ etc.
    - Do return fire. I personally like to burn a few xtals and burn my opponents pots, gold and troops.
    - Do strip your opponent.
    - Do join a warclan. They are a lot more fun 
    - Do make sure you have enough spy defence (SDP) and defencs (DP) pots.

    This are just a couple examples. Please note that hitting someone in a warclan might result in waking up naked 

    You could also choose to have the admins from your clan handle it. However, that is a lot less fun right...
    A lot warclans would massively hit someone hitting one of there members, so choose your targets wisely 

    This is my first thread, I know BB-codes would lighten the thread up, but I'm simply not using them. Don't go whine about that 

  2. So true. The whining I mean.
     
  3. Second didn't say anything about second 
     
  4. Oliver: your actually third... Now back on topic please....
     
  5. I thought I was second at the time I posted :( darn the person who posted before me. But yes, sticky so noobs can learn
     
  6. The term farming was before pws
     
  7. He didn't say pw's, he said osf's.
     
  8. Hmm COV3RT, your in my friends list... Try to remember where I know you from... And as Harry stated: I didn't say pwars, I said OSF's 
     
  9. I was in conquest...umm, warred in hgl for summer wars?
     
  10. Osf's have been in the game for a very long time, and a noob made it up because he was getting hit continuously. This then grew as a rule so fast it was stupid.
     
  11. And Oliver, A sticky would be nice. Have the Newbs and Noobs read and learn about the game  Would be fun to see a bit more PvP...

    I can't help but wonder: where are the damn trolls? My newsfeed is empty and my troops full 
     
  12. Attack pots that is, as we all know defense pots will just get burned right up and does not help to bank.

    Nice thread though Enforcer.
     
  13. Most of the trolls are to small to hit :(
     
  14. Harry: OSF's really helped the KaWmunity by "giving" away gold. The "farming" was a unwritten rule. And if I remember correct; "farming" a OSF would get you in big trouble. OSF used to be protected by a lot players. Abuse the OSF and get spanked a lot...
     
  15. We are cleaning up the forums, less trolls now.
     
  16. Yeah I agree with your fine dos
     
  17. Thanks drgn, your 100% right.
    But darn it. I forgot the:
    -Do be fully potted up

    I knew I forgot something. And since I'm not on PC/linked to PC I can't edit 
     
  18. If I get farmed I just tell my clan owner becuz I wud rather just do EB than hit back
     
  19. It did, but what I'm saying is it spread around so fast to players that were not osf's. We need everyone to start farming again.
