They are what i call chicken poop players that can only bully around new players they know dont know how to play the game and so seem to be trying to make up for their own short comings in real life by picking on the weaker players
One of few times I'll agree with Spank. He really isn't doing anything against the rules. But as you can see he's really not scaring away new players. He's just being upfront and honest about what he's doing. Apparently people don't like honest players (case in point myself being blatantly honest with spanky and him not accepting it). To be honest there is nothing Emi can do, because he's not breaking any TOS. I'm sorry for the trouble he's causing, but it's all well within the rules. He's just in internet terms trolling you all, and you're all accepting the bait. He's picking on new players, because you guys are picking on him. It's just a giant downward spiral of skill up until the new players. I'll put this in another perspective so everyone can see.
There is a Hierarchy of being attacked, and everyone's goal is to be on the top, and if you're not then you pick on the next person down, because the person above you is better then you, and you can't accept complete defeat so you need to pick on someone either affiliated with him, or someone altogether because everyone affiliated is better as well.
Borg
I attacked
Spanky / anyone in top 10
So they attacked
Gilgamesh and other top 10 players within my alliance
Who in return attacked
Cobra, Redcap, and other NLA in top 20
Who couldn't find space pirates, so they attacked
Shackled, chickenbutt, and HKs guys (before this round when everyone "good" quit)
who couldn't find any NLA, so they attacked
Grondavour, resolution, and all the mid skilled players who know basics, but suck
Who couldn't find anyone left with skill at all to attack, so they went after
Nubs, and people just starting the game
You see it's a "food chain" of who gets attacked, and it all starts at the top. So if you really want him to stop attacking the newbs, then you may as well just take pvp out altogether, because the Low skilled players will always go after the no skilled players, and mid skilled will go after the low skilled. You're not gonna stop it by banning one person no breaking the rules.
