Candyshop is a known mugger. As said above, ignore, train and maybe try to join a faction or faction family they dont want to fuck with.

 

No idea how you got your NW and I dont care, but if you are using it smart (cba to check you stats and all) then you could easily land a really good respect faction.

I was someone who attacked you once (as you know) once I got nothing and realized you were sensible with cash I realized wasting E isn't worth the off chance of getting a few mil. They'll realize it too eventually and as said above, while they're mugging for nothing you'll be using the E to get stronger.

Lantian [3029152]

Important is to not contact them. 

Many muggers (and trolls and some others in general) will just continue out of spite if they find a snowflake target who is enraged by being attacked, mugged, bountied, etc.

Keep very little cash on hand so when/if they mug you, they just waste their time and energy.

 

Train.

 

Set life goals: keep your own personal lists.   Some players who were once stronger and who once bullied me when I was just starting out get visits by "Someone" every Halloween and sometimes when a chain needs to be saved.   Most of them went inactive years ago.  

 

Be active and join an active faction.   I'm in a reasonably strong faction and faction family, if something goes down that I didn't instigate, there are players who are much stronger than me that I can ask for help.   Your faction isn't that strong but you still have 2 players with over 3B battle stats.

Honestly, you handled it perfectly. 

 

"lol no" is an excellent response to players like this.

 

The big picture here is that they'll stop when they realize that you aren't going to send them anything. They can only harass / extort one or two players at a time with attacks due to their limited energy. If they aren't getting anywhere, it's a complete waste of energy. They'll move on to someone else.

You don't really seem that far off from him in battlestats.

Take that 1 bil and go buy some decent armour and weapons.

06:34:10 - 08/07/26 You used 25 energy attacking cAnDyShOp and arrested them for their $1,186,626 wanted reward (chain #1) [view]

Mugging uses energy.  Energy costs money.  So make it cost them more than they're earning off you.

They might continue out of spite for a while regardless.  If that happen just smile knowing you've already won and they're only punishing themselves.

Put them on my enemy list and make sure that I take my Xanax and train my energy. My approach, don't complain about a problem that you can't invent the solution for. Get stronger and plant a firm foot in their ass on Halloween. 100k chains are fantastic for teaching lessons. 

NuRaahl [3728561]

Don't send them money (unless they mug you for $0, sometimes it's ok to send them a small amount for pity, just make sure they know why)

  • 20:48:10 - 24/09/25 NRD2nd mugged you for $5 sending you to the hospital for 0h 36m [view]
  • 20:49:39 - 24/09/25 You sent $1 to NRD2nd with the message: That mug wasn't worth your E. Please take this as a tip

 

Add them to your enemy list and hope they don't get fedded before you outstat them.

 

Keep training and when you do pass them in stats, remind them everyonce in a while (But not too often, because then you aren't training)

 

 

Now a question for you. WTF is going on with your net worth?

pdk [3626257]

I had this happen to me, i sent money and they carried on

Just ignore them, at most u get a few hosps a day, leave revives on and med out when u need to do smth, theyll stop wasting their energy after a few days

 

no one wants to waste their energy for nothing
