Day 1 of the Rat Wars

[Burn]

Dunno about anyone else, but I am having a blast doing this. It's added a whole new dimension to the game, and I'm having fun for the first time in quite a while.

Go Rat Catchers!!

[Joeycool]

Me too mate! Genius move...

Not come across any other posts from other rat catchers yet though. I imagine our posts will get deleted.

[Joeycool]

And as I wrote that my next hit saw a post from JKL

Dont know who you are but we both hit momo! :)

[Fricco]

haha i found a joey post so i repeated it.

[Joeycool]

haha i found a joey post so i repeated it.

Boom! Feels like we are having a real war against the cowards here. Wonder how long until the message sets in.

[Giedrius]

It's so fun. Is it me or I starting to strugle to find 499, I see more 500 than before.

And yes, we doing good...

Best hit so far...

Nathan... level 183. Defence 50029

Attacked and beat 10 times.

[mnju_03]

LMFAO! hahahahahahahahaha

[Burn]

BOOM! 400K rob, stumbled into his hood for the 4th or 5th time today, but this time was Synch'o'Clock - Pirate Tavern, Upscales, Rock Cafes, Lofts, Movies, Beachsides, Internets, the lot.

Best rob ever for me. Which must prove God is on our side :)

[Aid]

Burn, having the best time with this today. Making quite a few very upset, but it is entertaining. I stumbled on one player, attacked and when I posted my message I was the fifth 'rat catcher' to post on their wall today

[Joeycool]

I think I am already seeing a decline in 499ers... I'm actually having to refresh to find them.

Its usually the other way round!

Hello, I'd like to join! I have references....

[Burn]

So 499s are in decline?

You see, you don't sit and complain about the cards life has dealt you, you get up make the changes you want for yourself.

There is value beyond the game in what we've done today.

You are all the master of your own destiny.

(Did that sound pretentious enough) ;)

[Burn]

mnju you are in, you've always been in :)

[Nathan66]

Hi JoeyC.
I'm the Nathan u where talking about a couple post before.

I'll not ranting, I just will make you aware of the reason why a lot of ppl (moreso medium strenght NON-GOLD spender) are going the 499 route.
Before I drop my mafia to 499, I was attacked 10-12 times a day with success by medium to heawy gold spenders from any level between 142-200.
This mean 300-400k a day of explosives wasted JUST ON SUCCESSFULL attacks.
On top on that put the same amount (or even more ^^) of explosives wasted on UNSUCCESSFULL attacks.
After the "infamous" mafia reduction I managed to bring my losses on explosives down to under 200k a day.
As a pure no-gold spender this is a big improvement for me, hope you understand this.
As of now I'm still losing a couple explosives against gold spender doing their HH missions (even against lvl 140ish w/ over 100k atk/def o.O) but at least I'm not the gold spender TL punchbag anymore ;)

Summing all up, at the end of the day, who is the real coward?
The poor non-gold spender that choose to avoid the big-gold spender doing TL dropping his mafia by 1, or the big-gold spenders that where using him as their "easy milk-cow" and now are pissed because they have to fight against other gold spenders?

Hope this give you some more insight on why ppl choose to drop to 499.

Sincerly yours
Nathan

PS: sorry for my bad english, hope you can understand it anyways.

Just did my first, screwed up my copy 'n' paste... lol but still, I popped my cherry! And it was on an Alex, getting pictures now.

[Aid]

I have only spent a minimal amount on gold and maintain 500, nobody enjoys wasted explosives. I enjoy less being hit 80 times daily by mostly 499 and less. Obviously they are doin TL goals, we all get hit by those stronger...
I would say a very small amount of the 499 crowd actually have a decent amount of explosives, at least the ones I have seen

[mnju_03]

Here are pictures from my first....

[Dravak]

WTF why did they lock the rat catcher post ?

Gee no wonder all my rivalry comments get deleted , and none of them are ugly words ones >.<

[erik]

Remember:

If your goal is to meet as many 499ers as you can and still make TL progress... attack 1x. It looks the same!

If you want to cause max stat carnage, attack 8 or 9 times so another fellow RC can still drop by too!

[Joeycool]

Nathan

PS: sorry for my bad english, hope you can understand it anyways.

Dear Nathan,

I see this is your first post... welcome!

You have stats of over 50000 in defence.

You are not a weak player.

We ALL get attacked by players who are stronger than us and have bought more gold.

I have stopped buying defence explosives all together because I loose everything I buy in getting attacked off other players. This way it does not matter if people beat me in a fight because it costs me nothing.

What I do not do is drop my mafia to 499.

If you drop your mafia to 499 you are stopping other players from getting their goals. However, you are still carrying on with your goals. We dont think this is fair. So we are attacking these people to show that this tactic will not work.

sincerely yours,

Joeycool

Oh sheit! This is fun I've been talkin a little smack too!!!!

[cyt]

Joeycool

You argue that if I attack others I should also be available for others to attack back. By lowering myself to 499, I myself can't be attacked by those same people. But how is that different from the situation in which a gold player with double the A/D value attacks me for his TL goals and I can't retaliate? Both cases are supported by the game mechanics.
Most people that are having problems with the current situation are the strong players. Predators, if you will, of this game. Why don't you attack each other, have fun and stop fixating on the 499 situation. I don't care myself. If we all decide to drop to 499 I won't care. If funzio makes us go back to 500 I won't care. I am now and will in the future (probably) play my game by their rules, but the way I want to.

[Burn]

Are you 500 yet Cyt? That is the solution.

Thug Life gain has to be at the risk of Thug Life pain.

In other News...

I'm now having to refresh to find 499s - either Operation Rat Catcher is working, or Funzio have made a change to the Rivals list.

No crap!!! LMAO. I just refreshed to a page 100% 500. Niiiiiice...........

[Dravak]

Cyt hear you but they are playing the game they think it is fun .
And you shouldn't moan about unfairness cause sorry buy more gold if you think it is unfair .
Isn't that what pay2win game is all about ?

Now they decided to have fun there way and the way it suppose to be fun .
So same rule you say you play your own way , they are doing it and having fun .
Honestly if you attack and rob others , expect the same courtesy in return ... It is not like modern war .
Where you lose half your freaking valor units and loot unit , if a heavy gold user decide to bully you .
You only lose a bit of money and progress time :p .

[cyt]

However, you are still carrying on with your goals...
Joeycool

By the way, how do you know if a 499 person is doing TL or not?

[Benjammin]

I love you guys. I'm still caught up doing my Thug Life challenges although I may participate a little bit. I'm at level 130, any others my level participating?

[mnju_03]

Like my signature??? lol

[cyt]

Are you 500 yet Cyt? That is the solution.



Never! I'd rather die a virtual death than bow to the will of a tyrant :)

[Joeycool]

Why don't you attack each other, have fun and stop fixating on the 499 situation. I don't care myself. If we all decide to drop to 499 I won't care. If funzio makes us go back to 500 I won't care. I am now and will in the future (probably) play my game by their rules, but the way I want to.

because I was having to refresh many times to find players that were not

a. 499ers
b. 500 but too strong for me to attack

You seem to think that being attacked by stronger players is exclusive to you.

I get attacked many times a day by stronger players.

All my best stuff gets robbed, ALLLLLL THE TIME! lol

[Joeycool]

because they are attacking me. And I have 500 mafia.

[erik]

Does that stand for Cry Your Tears? Because I support your right to do so.

Its getting hard to find a 499... that JC hasnt written on lol.

[Burn]

Cyt, I have actually been checking Rivals inventory before Attacking. When they are below level 115 but are sitting on 7 Exceleros, then they are clearly gaining from Thug Life.

Then the beatings begin.

And as for the charge of bullying, I've attacked 2 x 499 players today who have higher stats than me.

[Steve0]

When they are below level 115 but are sitting on 7 Exceleros, then they are clearly gaining from Thug Life.

Thats where I think you got it mostly WRONG. Why because if you did the event whitch most of us did than you most likely got Respect points. I used mine to buy RPG's and i am not hight enough to get Exceleros. which i would have bought. most of my respect has been from robbing. I am not saying i havent done TL goals i am up to 80. Just because you get hit may not be for TL goals it may be HH.

There is other ways to play this game, not everyone has to play like you guys do. I am a 498er, and crawling, and I dont care how many times you attack me.

[Joeycool]

New PB.

57025 Def. Big gold spender!

Slav...

Too strong for me to attack but taxed over 7K in robberies.

Thaks for your welcome.

Sorry but I see one flaw in your statement:
If you (medium to high gold spender iirc seeing your atk/def are almost 1.5 times mine ^^) have to refresh your rival list many times to solve your a. and b. issues, dont you think that this is even FAR worse for us no-gold spenders?
We have the exact same issue as you, aggravate for the fact that we have to choose between the "weakest" of the couple of remaining 500ish gold-spender (since even you admitted that even the gold spenders are going the 499 route).

And, btw, the "strongers players" that are attacking you are ALL gold spender again, because i find hard to believe some no-gold player can break trough your 60k+ def (iirc).

Again, I dont judge the way ppl are playing, but please dont consider a free player strategically going 499 (as ALLOWED by the game mechanics) more coward than another player strategically BUYING his power instead of working hard to gain it (as ALLOWED and ENDORSED by the game mechanics).

Best Regards
Nathan

[Santa]

This sounds really fun. I wish I was level 100! Only 100 mafia ATM, hope the Rat Catchers stay in business for a while.

[xclusiv]

im at 499 can you rat catchers beat me xclusiv 178

[Joeycool]

And, btw, the "strongers players" that are attacking you are ALL gold spender again, because i find hard to believe some no-gold player can break trough your 60k+ def n

My defence is way below 60K.

Infact its only slightly higher than yours.

My attack is slightly higher than your defence. You are a strong player with good stats. You have no excuse to drop to 499.

You are stronger than many players who buy gold.



If you (medium to high gold spender iirc seeing your atk/def are almost 1.5 times mine ^^) have to refresh your rival list many times to solve your a. and b. issues, dont you think that this is even FAR worse for us no-gold spenders?

I'm sure it is... so the 499 is a problem for you... how can you
1 - endorse 499ers
2 - complain when you are part of the problem.

And my attack is no where near 1.5 times yours.

People have to realise that there is always going to be someone stronger than you.

You are going to get attacked. You attack people I am sure. It is part of the game.

Stop hiding behind 499 mafia tactics.

[mnju_03]

[Spoon86]

Just got robbed for 25k and it came with a message "You just got hit by 499 rat catcher crew"
Not mad I get robbed all the time due to bad sync.

I love revenge, walked away with 400k when I went into his hood.
Looks like the rat found some cheese.

Its not fair when you are dropping to 499 to avoid getting attacked. And in doing so ruining the goals system for everyone but yourself.

The message is to let you know that wont save you.

We will attack you even if you are 499.

[xclusiv]

Yes.

I would get attacked even if I was 500, Probably alot more too.

Its a legitimate strategy, Just like how people buy gold to beef up their defence.
I on the other hand drop to 499 to stay off peoples radar.

[mnju_03]

I'm going to drop to 0, take that!

[Max Power]

[Nathan66]

I'm sorry but it seem I cant explain my point of view so I will try again.


You have no excuse to drop to 499.

I dont think I need an excuse to get a tactical advantage dropping to 499 (as it let me save more than 500k a day) like the gold buyers dont need an excuse to get a tactical advantage buying economic/fighting power (as it let them be more powerfull than everyone that buid his way only working hard w/o spending RM).


I'm sure it is... so the 499 is a problem for you... how can you
1 - endorse 499ers
2 - complain when you are part of the problem.

Sorry but I NEVER endorsed nor complained about the 499.
As I said in my 1st post I'm already a milk-cow for every gold spender that is doing his HH (again, even 140ish gold spender are beating me daily, thats crazy), and you pretend that I should please even the others gold spender doing TL?
I simply adapted to the circumstances and cut my "milkers" in half.
And I never complained about the 499 (w/ maybe the exclusion of the gold spending 499 ;p), I fully understand them, I hit refresh a couple more times since I finally find someone I can reasonably fight (I need to refresh a couple more times than you since my attack is 10k below my def so "slightly" more than 10k below yours xD)


Stop hiding behind 499 mafia tactics.

Can I say: Stop hiding behind your fat pocket tactics too? :)

Regards

[mnju_03]

Can I say: Stop hiding behind your fat pocket tactics too?

I really like that comment, I haven't really seen many people use it. I respect you. :)

[Xira]

Trying to say i goto 499 to combat the gold buyers is just a pathetic argument. What if ALL players use your "strategy" and drop to 499. Oh ya... The game breaks. Thus 1 + 1 = 499 is a cheap strategy that was not intented by the developers or designers in anyway, its attempting to exploit the game mechanics and is just as bad as any of the other cheaters that have popped up over the past few months IMO.

When they fix the 499 problem, and still allow the gold buyers to play the game, whats the next argument or strategy that you will use? Oh ya.... nothing because all that is coming out of the mouths (or fingers) of anyone trying to defend 499, is pure garbage.

[mnju_03]

This is like that line from The Matrix... everyone rejected it and the system failed.... They had to make several Matrix'...

[Joeycool]

Can I say: Stop hiding behind your fat pocket tactics too? :)


I am not hiding. I am at 500. I am not using any tactics to hide from anyone. Anyone can attack me and achieve their goals.

Our opinions differ obviously

Dropping to 499 does stop attacks I'm sure because dropping to 499 stops people achieving thug life goals. So they will go and attack someone else.

If everyone dropped to 499 no one would be able to achieve their goals.

The whole point of this exercise is to attack people regardless... hence rendering this tactic useless.

End of story.

[Max Power]

I have to admit, I am enjoying the hell out of this. Many people get quite butthurt. I have had 2 go back to 500 in the last hour. Some people are just getting drilled....LOL!

I also made a half million bucks in the last hour.

[mnju_03]

I'm having a blast as well! I almost called you bro, than I thought pops... I'll just leave it be. lol

[Nathan66]

Dear Xira,
please think two times before talking about cheater, the 499 tactics as nothing to do with "exploitimg the game mechanics".
As a matter of fact, since day one all the goals involving beating opponent w/ X mafia NEVER had a min mafia requirement for the attacker. Proof of this is that I (and I bet lot of others) ended the first serie of TL (still capped at 500) way before being lvl 100 so obiouvlis not meeting the 500 mafia number.
If this was shortsight of the devs I dont know, but sure it was so from the start.

And when (if) they fix (change) the 499 problem (tactic), I will keep using the same strategy as I am now until the gold-powered do finish their TL streaks (even better since a lot of ppl will be back to 500 and so it will go faster than now).

And please, keep your tone down and respectfull, because my "garbage" is my opinion and deserve respect as the one of everyone on this forum.

Regards.

[Chukuli]

I have been hitting 499 players since 6mths ago. Reasons? Simple i just want the RP.
I guess mind as well be a rat catcher and left a message too. Seem fun. :D
I have 1600 mafias.

[i need muney]

Actually, I did smack some fourninees hienies. Only once thou, gotta do them TL's :D
Also posted "499" on their wall. Do you think they'll get the message? ;)

[foxtrekker]

For the record, there is no such thing as a "ratcatcher" There is a mousecatcher. If you are in need of a ratcatcher you should probably hire a maid, or move to a more reputable part of town.

Calling someone a rat who is just avoiding being attacked by people who are just doing goals for respect points in order to farm weapons is ridiculous. It's just like farming m4's, and you can see that has been stopped because it adds no enjoyment to playing the game. It just gives an advantage to people who would like to just boost their stats. It also forces everyone else to play that way because you're at a huge dissadvantage otherwise against excessive gold buyers and farmers.

There are plenty of things to do on the game so there is no need to insult people who are playing the way they want to play. If anything, the 499ers are forcing the ratcatchers to play the game how it actually should be played and not just farming weapons from respect points.

I play to have fun, and i have spent some money to support the hard work i'm sure goes into making the game and i'm sure they'll come up with a solution thatll make everyone happy.

[i need muney]

^^^ obvious 499er :))

[Chukuli]

One curious questions. If they drop 499 to 498 do we attack?

[kimberleyj]

One curious questions. If they drop 499 to 498 do we attack?

yes .if they think dropping another member is gonna make us stop they can think again.

[Xira]

I have, 440+, just take a quick look at there inventory/stats and it's pretty easy to tell if they are a cheating scum bag.... Hehe

[silverbackspur]

Loving seeing all the messages from the rat catchers. Seeing about 1 in 3 I attack.
Definitely seems like there is less 499rs

[Xira]

I had to just refresh like 10 times to find one (definetely a change from norm)... But then 4 showed up. Oh well a bit more work to do I guess.

[kimberleyj]

You don't know enough old tales to catch the allusion. And if you think there are no rats on your part of whatever town you are, then better not leave your house at night ;)

I tried but failed to hit him.

[Burn]

Someone asked where the dividing line is.

I've been hitting on people down to 495.

Not as consistently, and I always message that if they Upgrade to 500 Mob size, the beatings stop.

If in doubt I check inventory, at my level if they have more than a few Exceleros they are Thug Lifing.

If they do Thug Life and are below 500... They will know I am 499RC when I lay my vengeance upon them ;)

[Nudie]

Great idea. I attacked/robbed some rats. Left messages calling them rats. Made it a point to attack rats to burn up their defensive explosives.

Ooh this sounds like fun. I want in. What do I have to do? Just fight people and behave like a common troll, yeah?

[cyt]

What if ALL players use your "strategy" and drop to 499. Oh ya... The game breaks.

I don't mind it. If everyone dropped to 499 the TL goals would become impossible to reach and all this 'I'm better than you' crap would probably stop. It would, probably, result in some kind of change by the developers, but until that time I'm using 499 as a legitimate defensive strategy.

You guys seem to be around the same level, since you see each others posts?

That movie was awesome. Saw it in the theater. That's how old I am.

Ditto - loved the movie as well - saw in theater and on VHS.

[Joe Brown1]

It is funny how some 499ers protest the Rat Catcher strategy - if the 499 strategy to avoid beatings is legit then the Rat Catcher's to counter it and increase targets, thereby making it easier to meet TL goals is equally legit. if you are a 499, suck it up and play the game. Don't whine just because a strategy was developed to counter your strategy. (though maybe this is a tremendous opportunity to make some money and develop SimHood)

Not as consistently, and I always message that if they Upgrade to 500 Mob size, the beatings stop.

If in doubt I check inventory, at my level if they have more than a few Exceleros they are Thug Lifing.

If they do Thug Life and are below 500... They will know I am 499RC when I lay my vengeance upon them ;)

I have purposely went lower, there is one play with 438 mafia that attacks me daily. He does not like at all to be attacked. Generally if they are under 500 and have been attacking me I go after them, otherwise I am hitting 497 thru 499

Before anyone says anything, let me just categorically state that I'm nowhere close to level 100 and hence, am not a 499er.

I believe this is a good way to force players adopting a 499 mafia strategy in order to avoid getting hit to add 1 more mafia to join the 500 gang. Having said that, I personally feel that calling them out either by posting a screenshot of any '499' stats/wall page or posting their game name on the forum is a little uncalled for. It's somewhat similar to posting screenshots/calling out possible 'in-game cheaters'. If possible, this Rat Wars can be continued without it turning into a witch hunt.

Dont you realize that what youre doing makes no sense at all? Your trying to punish 499ers for not allowing you to attack them repeatedly at 500 for rp farming? If anything, youre announcing that there are people like you that just do TL all day, and in order to avoid being hit, the obvious to do is go down under 500. If they go back up to 500 theyre going to be attacked anway if they arent that strong. Youre just encouraging more 499ers, and you can bet there will be much more of them than you.

You will end up having CC deal with it and the obvious solution is to get rid of TL and substitute a fairer RP goal, say by att/def stats, whereas all you RP hoarders will be fighting eachother as it should be :)




I had to just refresh like 10 times to find one (definetely a change from norm)... But then 4 showed up. Oh well a bit more work to do I guess.

And a good resolution to this situation is that if you want to do the TL attack 500 mob goals then you must have a mob of 500 to be able to do it myself I have over 560 mob members and it will stay that way & I will continue hitting 499ers
