Is that particular ally that important that you need to rehire them or are the stats really high for the price? If the latter then the hires should be expected, regardlessvof what is in your banner. And about banners, (not directing this to just op, but anyone reading) what you put in it is only worth how much you're going to back it up. If you arent into pvp/osw and have a 'dnh' banner, ill hirer just to make that point. Theres a reason some people respect one group's dnh banners and not the others.
Ok I have been ignoring this, mainly because it reminds me of an old argument that someone never understood. First. No matter who the ally is, an alt a friend or just another player you have zero right to own them. Like any commodity whoever pays the highest price gets ownership. For how long is just until the next person pays more. Allies exist to help earn plunder first. Second to add strength Third to add risk. And that last one is key. Allies unlike buildings can be stripped. Anything you invest In allies is a risk, you may have loads of allies one day and wake up with none the next. That's kawing. Whether its just people buying them or stripping and hitting you is purely up to how you play largely. Bleet over an underpriced ally and demand to be allowed to keep it. There is a high chance you are asking to be stripped. With each hire without a strip comes free profit for you to reinvest. This is a great thing and decent traders earn far more from hires than ebs. Have a friend you want to keep. Sorry you are going to need to invest in that friend and overprice them. But if they are a friend how is that a problem? Want to keep allies because they are yours? Actually no. The kingdom is at your disposal. The kingdom belongs to whoever pays the most. That's the game mech you accepted when you signed up to play kaw. If you don't like it sorry but tough. Scared of getting stripped? Invest in build and silver bars or attack pots. You don't have to spend when build complete unless you accept the risk. Want to fight over an ally. Go right ahead, that's one of the best parts of the game. So what if they hired your alt. they gave you gold in exchange. The only consideration should be, Do I want an osw over ally? Do I need this ally and how will my hire affect its current owner? Overpricing a smalls ally just to be an idiot is a bleep move. Hiring a 10 bil ally off a mid to large player won't hurt them and if they cry over that who cares. It's considered polite to check if the owner is in osw or even ee first and ensure you aren't hurting them accidentally. But it's not a must. There are no rules. But you get what you give. If an ally is expensive for the size of player that you are hiring off does it really hurt to ask them if you can hire it first? Most even in osw will sell if asked. You are helping them grow after all. If they say no. You can find another, buy it anyway or tell them if they don't overprice it you will. Just be ready for a few hits. It's part of the game and no one can say no to a hire, without hiding their allies. And even then not always. Check price ranges and be courteous and you are normally fine. Arguing about an ally always has and always will be the dumbest part of kaw. They are a risk element to excite the game. Enjoy that risk factor. Or get over it. Because it hasn't changed for years and I can't see it changing anytime soon.
You took all of my jumbled feeling about allies and laid them out into a logical and clear answer. I can't agree more, Optimal.
I see both sides I've known Wendy since I started kaw, kaw is a game a war game but people play for different reasons Wendy has always played to help people, that's what she enjoys doing I'm totally opposite I play to annoy idiots that's what I enjoy There's no respect anymore trolls will troll big clan members will still be like look at me I remember the days before ow a guy can't remember name would open at certain times he was respected by all everyone checked his wall before hitting now we have a new generation Kaw is finished as a war game
There ya go!!!!! This, from someone who enjoys and expects my generosity. @LMABAO (hope I got your name right without looking) does that answer your question?
There is still a visible post from you on Wendyms_Lukonan's wall, so what OAF do you hit? I double checked before I made that post and remember what a bad wall cleaner I am, all your posts prior to name change are still hiding away there.
I'm not being mean, takes a lot for me to be deliberately mean to someone and with good reason and I won't bat an eyelid when you are hitting me in future pvp's, but just letting you know that if you gonna be making comments for the sake of making a comment.... I see you.
