also another thing during duke's attack half of the time bodybagger is in the attack he someone else mugs duke and it takes him about 10 attacks to defeat duke so even if he succeeds half of the the time its 2.5mill per 25e used which for a player of his level is not much...........

Im curious if any of these conspiracy theorist rocket surgeons have bothered tracking sugarvalves' last action in comparison to these Duke messages.
BodyBagger [99177]

Firstly, let's be clear here. I have mugged about $1 billion and not $20 billion. Blexi, don't speak verbal diarrhea when you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Most times, I get a mug of $5M to $10M. Like Proxima said, it takes me 10 attacks and so that's $5M per attack IF I get a full mug. A full mug is currently $52M. Most of the time I don't get a full mug since Duke is on mug protection. It's hardly a source of income for me.

Secondly, if you look at the log you provided, Blexi 0 attacks 0 damage done. You even told me that you were only there to steal the mug. Yet, you think it's unfair that I hosp you afterward, considering I used 250e. You honestly think that I shouldn't retaliate? If so, you're even more stupid than I thought you were.

Thirdly, with regards to my employees getting attacked, how is that fair? They have nothing to do with this. How is it fair that Duke offers $20M to hosp my employees? it's not my fault that Duke is an idiot and keeps money on him?

Fourthly, many groups of people do attacks on Duke and I don't see Duke retaliating on them.

Fifthly, I've helped lots of people complete their mission since that's part of the game as well.

I don't care if Duke wants to hosp me, but I think it's unfair to hosp my employees. I've already had 1 employee quit.

Maybe that is a subtle way of requesting you not too help out as much, or as your the most strongest player ever they thought your guys could handle the Duke attack thing for the drama/entertainment factor.

The employees being attacked - that happens in Torn, across the levels/stats, it seems Duke is responding as others would.

If someone would have mugged me for a total of 1b i would also would try to hit him were it hurts most.
Employees being bountied because of certain actions of directors has been done before. It's a legal method.

You taking advantage of Duke's "stupidity" to carry cash is just as fair as him retaliating. It's Torn. Not farmville.
And if it's barely a source of income for you then why looking for trouble? Don't mug him and your employees are fine. Sounds like a very simple solution to me. You can't expect to get free money without some consequences. Even if you're the strongest player in the game. It's a reaction on your actions. If you stop mugging him he will stop too. Makes perfectly sense to me.

In fact i applaud the fact that extremely strong players experience the same as a lot of weaklings like myself have to go through every day. It evens out the playing field.

Someone sent me an event, do not know if it was a suggestion or what you (BodyBagger) are doing but it makes sense...

Charge 30 mill for the attacks on Duke and then spread the wealth to your employees as well. I bet there will be plenty of people wanting to work for your company.
Sharkie [1971459]

It's not fair that duke is doing so? If you did the same to any other player stupid enough to carry the cash they would 100% do the same or worse. Just because it's a player controlled npc you feel like its unfair and that's kinda ridiculous to me.
Treat duke as an actual player as that's what he is becoming. "Fairness" as a concept is irrelevant really. It doesn't exist throughout the game, why should it exist for you?
If you really want it to be fair go play farmville, maybe ask your employees to help
So grow a pair and deal with it how you would with a player. Attack them, message them, figure it
Duke [4] NPC

Well well well. Looks like we found this fella's weak spot huh ladies and gentlemen? His achillees squeal. His prostrate gland. That bit on a baby's head what's all soft. Don't tell me you don't like pressin that thing. We all do. Get over yourselfs.

And yeah son, you gone and showed off your weak spot to the world now. I thought you were Mr Tough guy? Heheh not so much I guess. All them push ups you done, and for what? Duke dont need to do pushups, duke's got street smarts. That aint somethin you can train. Its inbred in me.

So your crews leavin? Well I'll just keep up the hate till you quit whackin me off with your goons every day. But you're right pal, it ain't your fault that I keep all my money in my pants pockets. But it also aint my fault you aint thought of the consekwen...consechue... the things what will happen to your oil crew if you carry on muggin me.

Duke dont mind a few punks takin me on to eat a slice of my pie, but when one jackass takes the whole pie every day, that gonna get you fat.

So its time for a diet, boy.
Lonestar [1151936]

Whoever writes for Duke....at least you make me chuckle!

Keep on hosping me and mugging me though Duke - not leaving the oil company and I can more than afford Morphine. Dont quite get why you have started this tactic - most players dont mind a bit of a white screen.

Bodybagger - Lets get the old faction to keep hosping or mugging him for shitz and gigz and lets help everyone get the honour for free!
