The sab feature is not important in the early game, but as players get more villages there is a moment where it starts being one of the strongest weapons. To the point that in my personal view, it's an unbalanced feature of the game abused by many players with no skills for the sole purpose of razing a village.
This to say that there was no op on TNT to exterminate him. There was an op on LOD which was a failure, mainly because of the sabbing feature that became on that moment the unbalanced weapon I just described and made the deathstars not to work as they should. Anyway he was the main player in LOD, it's only normal that he got attacked a bit more than the others. But if you go back on this chat, you'll find many posts of B-H acknowledging the defeat of that op. The curious thing is that you will never find one post by any RLP member acknowledging any defeat anywhere. Being defeated is part of the process, just make sure you don't repeat your mistakes and be better next time.
You will also find posts where I personally congratulated TNT for being the only enemy I fought with brains and that I was looking forward to fight him on a more leveled ground. After all my closest support was 24 hours away. But he played his cards right and he gained my respect for that.
The thing is not about attacking a single player or not. It's about attacking a certain area, if it's just one player in that area or more that's secondary. One thing is you take a squad of 10 players and attack 6 or 7 different provinces or you take those same 10 players and move everyone to the same province. The more you shorten the radius of action the easier it will be to defend.
I'm glad that village you took from me makes you feel so good. I didn't even know it was you who had taken it, lol!
To me nobling that village was my biggest mistake for many reasons:
1. That village was taken because there was supposed to be an op on that area. But then Bunny decided to cancel it and make the LOD op instead. So I got a stupid village in the middle of the enemy with no purpose and being constantly sabbed. It had no strategic value, since I had no plans to do anything and the worst part is that I had built the chapel there before bunny cancelling the op. When it was time for the LOD op I couldn't build the chapel and had to go with a church which made things a lot easier for TNT. So I will blame bunny for this one (Sorry!).
2. I planned on renobling that deathstar so that I could have the chapel back and have it ready for the LOD op. But I overslept the day I was supposed to take it and couldn't send the nobles on time to land before the support. So, my church vulnerability on the LOD deathstar was not fixed. And what I feared could happen, actually happened. TNT was able to sab me down, leaving me faithless, making it easier to kill all support I had there. I doubt he could have made it if I had a chapel there instead. I'm pretty certain he would have to send at least 3 times more nukes than the 26 he needed to get the job done. And the fight on the coming days would have been totally different because I would have nobles to follow my nukes. But he played his cards right according to the variables on the table. That's why he gained my respect. And I can only blame myself for this one.
3. I always delete the reports where you guys kept sabbing and spying that village. I guess my coop didn't notice you guys kept your eyes on the village because she didn't saw most of the reports and when I asked her to send the nobles, she withdrew the support upon sending the nobles, this meant that the village got 24 hours without troops. You took advantage of that gap and nobled it. Congrats you're the best player ever. And regarding the troops you killed, that support came from so many different villages, that it was all rebuilt in less than 48 hours. So, I'm happy to know it made you so happy to kill it, lol. This one I can blame on MissDaisy (Sorry!)
On a final note, don't be so enemy to your enemies. This isn't reality. It's a game. We are here to have fun. We can talk, we can chit-chat, it's not the end of the world if you have a laugh with us
