One of my alts was attacked by a bully (
He repeated these attacks till he wiped me clean. That made me furious and obviously I had to teach him a lesson, maybe two.
So I attacked him from my main. But this guy had lot of time on his hand. He dodged my attacks by sending his army someplace else. So I had to come up with a strategy.
In software engineering, there is concept of Honey Pot traps to catch hackers by luring them into relatively easier to get in servers with lot of stuff to steal. I used that same method to trap him.
So I attacked him few times to spike his interest enough so he would scout me and he did.
When he did scout me, i sent most of my troops out so it would look like easy target with shit-ton of resources. A Honey Pot. And he took the bait, sent me another attack with everything he got.
I wiped his army with minimal troops. Actually I wiped more than these armier while he was trying to dodge my attack but this was the most significant. I did send him some a note so he knows why he is being punished.
I thought he had learned his lesson but he tried to bully my smaller account again. Maybe time for another lesson.
