Don't know what to do...

[DBaldwin]

Seriously I'm stumped.  Been trying to find a way to attack someone, but he's litterally playing 24/7.  I've been up for the past 48 hours because of school, work and other commitments, and everytime I scope his planet he's got a (*) next to his homeworld.  I've been awake this long because I had no choice, he's either a fricken machine, or I think there might be more than one player running his account.

  Leader of an Alliance of 3, 9k rating, millions or resources just lying around, but I've tried attacking him at all hours of the day and night, and he pulls out at the last minute everytime.  This kid never sleeps, and I mean never.  it's not like he fleet/resource saves when he leaves the computer, he always has both lying around, and only moves them when an attack is close.  There's no way it's just one guy.

just because there is a (*) at his planet, doesnt mean he is on at the time, if someone probes a planet (and i think the same for attacks) the star shows up

[DBaldwin]

I understand that he can be probed too.  But you're under the assumption, assuming he isn't online for extended periods of time that he is being probed every 14 mins 59 secs.  I have never seen him offline...ever.  I've sent fleets at him several times over different time periods of the day, and he's always there to fleetsave.  Either there is something fishy going on, or he's a god damned machine.

then take codename_B's advice and get BFG to look into it

Correct  

[Sid82]

maybe he is skirting around the rules without actually breaking them, by having someone watch it for him while he sleeps and waking him up if and when an attack is incoming

[Ziggyny]

He could have a friend probe him every 9 minutes to keep the (*) up, but while possible it seems implausible.

[nomadd40]

See if you can get a planet right next to him. Don't build anything, just have a spot to move a fleet to and attack from.  Ok maybe a hydro mine to refuel your ships.  Right now I can hit any planet in my system in 50 min.  Move your fleet into postion and let the chaos begin. If he attacks your planet he blasts at nothing but rock.  your buildings are safe.

I saw a guy that named his colony as "Colony (*)". It may be misleading for some people... but not me.

You can build ships and defenses, when they complete the planet registers activity.

I've seen that a few times. It's a different color, so it's really a worthless ruse.

That doesn't seem to work for me.  I have a few colonies cranking out Artemis every 10-12 minutes, and when I check them using the Galaxy view from my home planet, they don't register activity.

He's not in the lower G28 is he?   :lol:  :lol:

Double and triple checked this, it works fine for me.
