I think we’re hitting on something big today— conflicts.
Let’s read on, shall we?

“What are the reasons for conflicts with other players?”

In a fair fight main problem in the battle channel is that avatar of 1st fighter on the left of screen displays after some time (lag 15-30 seconds) and in my opinion this is the biggest reason which causes conflicts between the 2 random players who start fighting from the 1st seconds of the battle and got same goal to get the medal. The player who doesn't check fighter stats and sees no avatar on the main screen thinks he is 1st when actually other the player is already fighting. Fighter statistics table gives the most accurate info, so even no avatar displays on the main screen the battle statistics shows information up to date.

The other obvious reason which causes conflicts is the situation when someone overhits you when you were listed 1st. It may happen by few reasons:

A. Player just dumps his damage and doesn't care about the winning or not winning the medal, he just fires what he has and goes offline.
B. Player see your influence is so small that he takes more influence and go for a medal because it's almost sure some other player will overhit. (in that case I wouldn't accuse somebody as a thief)
C. Players overhit you because the battle has some big priority / important status in the war.
D. Player just want to steal your medal to win the gold (often such thieves do this when you are offline + hits last seconds of the battle)

In cases "B" and "C" I wouldn't call the player thief.
Case "A" depending - in my opinion there are so many battles that you can find to dump the damage without causing problems for a player who tries to get a medal, you can also split the damage on a few battles (when there is no event it's no problem with fuel). I think it's all about respect to other players who tried to get the medal and were listed 1st in the battle.
"D" case is obvious - the worst types of players who don't respect others.

”Have you had such conflict situations, can you say something about them?”

Yes, I had plenty of situations in the game, every player who is focused on getting medals got such situations which reasons come from the answers in previous questions. I had conflicts with many players. In the difference of 2-5 seconds between the two people starting fighting there is a big risk for having a conflict situation. I always try to inform other players, tell my point of view, and wait on what he is saying. With all players I had problems in the past I managed to set peace after a conversation, in some cases there were short wars but it always ended in respect for each other. One such conflict turned out into good relationship - greetings for Steffanos 🙂

All cases were solved except 1 guy - he doesn't deserve to be mentioned here, so I won't tell his name, however all US players know him very well (majority from his stealing and lack of respect).
I will hunt him in that game and I will not stop because he is just a stupid person and needs a lesson of respect and punishment. I think he already learned a bit because his reputation in the US community is very low (I know at least a few other guys he used to steal in the past or keeps stealing till now). Making more enemies than he has now will only ruin his gameplay more... which in fact is already messed up.

I respect people who can say sorry, can admit the mistake - I do them too and I try to be fair to other players. I think I have improved in respecting other players since the last few years and I always try to understand the motivation and goal of other players. However I don't respect people who do not respect me and the guy mentioned above will be hunted to the last energy bar in my storage.

“Greetings from Poland 🙂
PS. fuck trite penguins and Vladimir Putin. Slava Ukraini!”
