Is Croping Legal? Support / Expert please read

Hi everyone, I am wondering if taking someone Oasis and releasing it right after was legal? (by doing so you hope that their army will starve and when it reach a low level you can attack and gain prestige point).
Same thing with taking someone fort and releasing it after, you cut the player $ earning so less chance of quick rebuild.

1- If this is totally legal, this is a war game after all please skip to #4

2- If Croping is illegal, can you make the game so that we cant attack somone (human player) Fort or Oasis?

3- If Croping is illegal but option 2 is not doable can u make the rules that farming is illegal as well? Or killing someone army is illegal? Because sometime when someone is getting farm or attack by alliances the only way to stop the madness is by croping the attackers and after a week or two, sometimes months both party agree for peace.

Anyswer on the above would be greatly apreciated.

4- If croping is legal, than we cant get ban for this right?

Reason I ask is because after croping for a while people start grouping togheter by verbally harrasing you, then taking ScreenShot of the bad word you said back to them and sending it to support in hope that you get ban. (not showing the long verbal provocations they did for days over and over before hand obviously.

My last question is: If a player/cropper get ban for talking back, but he show to support other screen shots of other players mocquing him, giving dead threat, expert working with other players to get the croper ban as well, etc...
(note here that the "expert clan" is being cropped as well.

Will all the other players get ban as well?

Will send support email with screenshots tomorrow morning. Any information on the above questions would be greatly apreciated.

Thank you very much for your consideratio/information

Well....Its fine to crop but lets just say it makes people very mad.
Also, for your last question, simple answer when someone is "verbally harassing you" its best not to reply back with "bad words" in fact, its best to just never use these "bad words" even if its hard to avoid when people are driving you crazy. So yes, the other players would get banned too depending on support.

Sorry if I missed a question. Quite busy.

Its allowed but its a direct sign of war. It would be best not to do it lol.

It is not recommended to do in unless it is a time of war.
On the other hand it does stir things up a bit. Especially when everybody is complaisant about fighting each other. Don't do it also if you can't handle the reprocussions of it.

As for the letters, at no time should you go down to their level and cuss. This will only get you in trouble. I am probably the politest cropper there is. Just tell them to have a nice day That tends to tick them off even more.

It's only a game.... Just play it!!

IT'S LEGAL.

If it wasn't, why would it have been implimented in the game?
Don't worry, I do know what you're getting at, i've seen a few screen shots of threats to report you... ignore them, let them report you - support couldn't care less (except for the odd occasion *COUGH*)

I don't care if its a sign of war... i'll crop if I feel like it - just thought i'd let ya know

it's legal

BTW IM BACK o.O

Like they all said, it is legal. Who really cares though, it's a war game and things like cropping should be EXPECTED.
However, it's said that cropping players with alt accounts isn't really allowed, which is understandable.

People use a lot of underhanded tactic to get ahead in the game, which is why they try to provoke you and convince support to ban people.
It's best that you speak directly with your support if this ever happens and let them know what happened from the ery beginning.

It's legal to crop people, but you will make people really mad. You will get cropped back and probably farmed.

I See cropping as a sign of war. Cropping is a very annoying thing especially if it is done without a purpose. I reccomend you don't do it. If you are being cropped I would get you alliance to back you up and go in full force on that person who's doing it to you. This way they will know u mean business. Never use words when angry. Always use actions... "actions always speak louder than words"

It's a war game!! Crop em!!
