Plato shows us a price for which you'll forget morals.
60 gold.
Who do you fight for, country, conviction or cash.

What? You've sniped my BH in the dying moments of a battle with the bar at 70% before, and attempted to multiple other times. I saw you snipe my mate yesterday when the bar was at 90%. Bugger off.
Not that I need to justify myself to DC, but consider that sometimes people have started a booster in another fight and want to get the maximum use out of it against TP medal in the time before it runs out or that person goes AFK. Give up being so rude and crying about how people play, you can feel free to put more resources into fights, there is after-all no unspoken gentleman's agreement to make the game as cheap as possible for your pleasure.
Not sure what's the point of this article?
I made a light-hearted observation that when there's more money on the table, people are likely to do interesting things like fight on both sides of the war. Looking at the image you can see the guy is most likely from Brazil and feels safe due to our crap response to jump over into our trench and start shelling his home side. I thought that maybe I'd prompt some light hearted jovial discussion or a view of a different opinion.
u wot
Conviction?
Nope, ain't been charged yet 😉
Hey look you just sniped another mate of mine but didn't bother trying to actually win the fight. Nice one man.
yada yada, and of course you also mention the round I just had with you, I presume you feel you're not bound by the same rules and thought to teach me a lesson? tbh I didn't really take it as such, I jumped over you, but not because I was behind, but the side was switching. Again you helped out and again I had to as well. In the end 5am takes the gold and we still loose the point. You can never know how much someone is able to help out, where their breaking point is or if they feel it's just a waste of resources, etc. So stop whining and keep enjoying the game!
Lol I purposefully avoided sniping 5am because he's a bro. I thought we could win that fight for a while but when a couple of them started hurling bombs at us I just threw in the towel without backup.
My issue wasn't with your sniping, it was with the hypocrisy of this article. "I fight because I believe". Sorry mate, you're just like the rest of us. In it for that sweet gold.
I sniped him back. Gloves are off haha
point taken, the title is confusing. It was meant to sound third person. The focus not being any particular player, but the effect Plato's actions have. Like in politics of rl, issuing extra money doesn't always help. In this situation Plato has intended to get more people fighting, but actually ends up making fewer people fight marginally more and more subversively.
