I love it when players have nothing else to say, they always use that "power of DM" argument lmao You had your "peacemaker" DM daddy the whole time who also had "a power of DM" and was useless the whole time. But if you want to play with that card, sure. I don't really care what you think about how I played, you had many chances to take me down too. "Rivalry?" You were calling us cheaters since day 1 and trying to spread that to others too. Is this what you call a good sport?

It sad you have to put others down like that to make your feel better about yourself.

Again, the only one I even interacted with from your squad was Sage, who came to my messages accusing someone in our alliance of at the time 83 people cheating, like I could do anything about that.

I basically said that's rich coming from a cheating alliance, where at the time you had 3/4 people banned (of 8 total?), and then coming back after the ban.

We have a 0 cheating policy in the group, and have kicked anyone banned.

Sage even pinged me when one of us was banned and I thanked him and kicked him out.

So you see how it looks from the outside perspective 😁

Never had anyone put down, don't know where you get the spreading thing, but you seem to be reflecting alot.

To be fair, the only one that got banned, was banned because he refuses to get good sleep and sends out expos at all hours. That's not really cheating, hence why get got unbanned early.

Just what it looked like from the outside, I got told recently for that one and that xFadi was pulling, that's why the other two supposedly got banned. 🙌

Even I know you're definitely not a good sport including many in your alliance, and I played the uni for like 2-3 weeks only before I had to quit... So much trash talking from A LOT in your alliance since the start without no real facts. If you play like this for 10+ years, damn.

1. I had 0 interactions with you.

2. new or returning players after 10+ years //- *of not playing*

3. I'm literally cool with most beside some beefing with Sage at start of the uni, and even he turned out to be alright.

That said, I do think some rivalry and fighting is what makes the game interesting, even a bit of trolling doesn’t hurt..

Quote from shadexz

Was about time. Viruz has always been an arrogant player and that is what got him hit. Fish always die from it's mouth.

Even though he showed fair play in private messages, doesn't clean the past. Everyone who got IPM from him or his alliance randomly just act like bullies this hit goes to you guys.

Funny how Viruz gets hit and many INF members go instant v mode

Some players talk, other show in game what it is all about

FR despite all the mind games.

What are you even on about?

I fell asleep, you caught my fleet. That’s it.

No need to make this deeper or more dramatic than it is.

I’m not going to address every bit of misinformation in your post, but let me clarify a few things:

We’re a mass alliance, mostly made up of new or returning players after 10+ years. We’re here to have fun.

To help each other, we clustered in one area. When outsiders showed up looking for easy loot, we messaged them first and asked nicely if they’d relocate. If they refused, we IPM’d. Seems fair no? if you're trying to raid us, at least don’t be fully defended while doing it.

As for you and Sage, you're a different level. None of us can really touch you.

The only reason I even had a fleet at the start was to help defend others. But hey, you speedran me straight into mining 😅

Also, let’s keep it real: exactly one member went into vacation mode after the hit and even that was announced by him a week ago.

This was a little pet project of mine, thanks to @Rusty for the tip!

We spotted an inactive turtle, who came online just when I started IPM-ing some of the defenses to clear the way.

Sadly, he built a ton more def, but probably thought I'd leave him alone.

Well, after +/- 7,531 IPMs and a looooooooot of time...

I cleared some of the bigger guns that were holding the fort, and I just sent off.

His 3 billion defense dropped a full billion after the bash. 💥

🔍 Before

🔍 After

Not the biggest profits, but time I enjoyed wasting!   

I've swapped on 4 servers now for free, and talked with many that had done the same tho.

Quote from Uberman

Might have to log out and back in?

First thing he tried. Game registered as if he has activated it for free and he no longer has the option to swap for the free activation at all...

Hi everyone,

A friend of mine just tried to use the first free class change to switch from Researcher to Trader, but something strange happened. After selecting the Trader class, it didn't apply any of the Trader benefits, and instead the "Free Activation" button disappeared as if the change was used, but nothing actually happened.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is this a known bug or maybe a UI delay issue? Any advice on how to fix it or who to contact would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Good job, nice hit! Infected getting on the board 🔥

FR to the defender.

Well, atleast he took it well...

Came online a few minutes before the hit twice before, this time luck was on my side.

FR to the defender.

Commander Ara made a rookie mistake:

He thought he could talk sweet to me while attacking our members behind the scenes.

He hit President Beid, then got salty when Beid recycled some of the debris and was threatening to wipe his defenses over it:

At the same time, he was in my DMs, being all smiles and friendship, asking for moons like we’re best buddies:

Two-faced moves don’t fly around here.

Not with INFECTED.

So we paid Ara a visit and tried our hardest to give him a moon. 🌕

Small hit, just keeping the forum alive

Congrats! Glad to be on your good side 😉 what a massive hit! Enjoy the well earned profits!

Tried to catch him a few times already but he got online in time, had a small window when I saw his activity dropped and got him in time. Not a big hit, but letting him know he's in our space.

#Infected

🪠 We’re not just here to play the game. We’re here to infect it.

With Revenge as our second-in-command, operations stay sharp and focused. His leadership ensures that no target is too far, and no idea too bold.Alongside him are our trusted moderators — Tom Bombadill, Quirites, Earthman, and Caerwyn — always ready to guide, answer questions, or light a fire under the alliance when needed.

After many creative evolutions and bold attempts, Infected has become exactly what it set out to be:

A place to connect.

A place to grow.

And a place to spread the love (or destruction — depending on where your coordinates lie).

This is more than an alliance. It’s a movement.It’s a mindset. It’s the Infection.

And it’s already spread.🦠

Glad someone is standing up to these masochists at the top 🙌

This is how the battles should be, fighting your own size and not someone 300MIL weaker... Hats off to you 🫡

Quote from Sohlin

Congratulations on orchestrating the biggest ACS attack in the universe – truly a monumental achievement! This experience has been quite enlightening for me. It’s fascinating to witness how the OGame community operates, particularly the stark divide between those of us playing for fun and the whales who invest thousands of euros to dominate.

I must commend the relentless scanning and timing – it’s a masterclass in dedication, albeit one that reveals just how skewed the game is towards those with financial resources and unlimited time. It’s also a shame the so-called 'honor system' doesn’t really live up to its name, since there seem to be zero consequences for preying on lower-ranked players.

But hey, at least I’ve learned an important lesson about OGame: the 'community spirit' here is less about fair play and more about crushing the little guys. Kudos again on your accomplishment – I’m sure it will inspire others to... spend more money.

There is absolutely something deeply wrong and rotten within the whole DM system, but some of the stuff that you take issue with are shared with many other games, and indeed most life endeavors. Dedication, time, and passion will (in general) get you ahead of people who lack it, for whatever reason. Of course i.e. Khaos should get all the res in the universe, the guy didn't sleep for a while (a concerning development, but one that he should be rewarded for).

There is some lower rank protection in the game, but perhaps you think it is not enough. However, most of the lower rank hits I have seen are completely and easily preventable, because people either turtle, don't fleetsave, don't scrap, don't get a moon, etc. Most new players lack education about this, but this is not really a community problem: it is a gameforge problem evident by the opaque and scant educational information available in-game.

Regarding the bullying aspect: this is present in every game from WoW to ogame to real life: the strong bully the weak when they stand to profit (and sometimes even if they don't), and this is by no means an ogame specific phenomena. It is unfortunate, and I sometimes do partake on both sides of the equation, but it is what it is,

Ah, the classic 'it’s just how life works' argument. Truly an inspired way to justify a broken system. Yes, dedication, time, and passion should get you ahead—except, of course, when someone can swipe their credit card and leapfrog all of your effort overnight. I’m sure that’s a perfectly reasonable and rewarding experience for everyone involved.

As for lower rank protection, I appreciate the insight. Clearly, the solution is that everyone should just learn to fleetsave perfectly, magically acquire moons, and spend hours poring over spreadsheets—because that’s exactly what new players signed up for when they thought, 'Hey, this space game looks fun!' If they don’t, it’s obviously their fault for not reading the nonexistent tutorial Gameforge kindly didn’t provide.

Regarding bullying: 'It happens everywhere' isn’t quite the compelling defense you think it is. Sure, predatory behavior exists in games, just like in life, but that doesn’t mean we should shrug and accept it. If anything, it makes me wonder why we’re all collectively okay with a system that rewards it. Maybe instead of normalizing the strong preying on the weak, we should demand better mechanics—or at least acknowledge that some players might find it, I don’t know, frustrating?

But hey, you're right about one thing: Khaos absolutely deserves every resource for not sleeping. That’s the real dream here—rewarding self-destructive behavior in a browser game. Truly the pinnacle of gaming excellence. Hats off to them!
