    So a 300 land hit was really worth what you lost in the attack and what you cost me? Ok, that answers a lot of questions.

    It was 500+ grab and made before you jumped back into top10. Considering the NA support SLOB had, I only had to use relatively small portion of my ships. So the land I got certainly made back what I lost.
    It's true that you lost a lot more than I won (you lost several million in nw while I gained some hundreds of thousands) but the consequences of grabbing are the same throughout the round. A few grabs in the beginning that only give you a very small edge at first can end up in difference of 100M nw in the end. You blame me for making a grab in last hours of the set that cost you a few million nw, but instead you should be blame me for the grabs I made you several days and weeks ago: these are the ones that actually cost you a fortune. Or maybe not, because if I wouldn't have made them you would have lost much more land. Though I'm not saying you should thank me for grabbing you, it's just something to think about.

    First off, I wasn't in SLOB last set.

    Second, I know how the grab formula works and you didn't even know who I was till I changed my name with 1.5 days left in set. I stayed low with lowish land till about 7 days left in set.

    I didn't blame you for anything, I still say that grabbing that late is a waste when your net production would have been higher by just cashing. Forget about it, I know what the deal is.

    Ah yes, I confused you with someone some else who sent me an angry letter in-game because of the grab I made. I thought it doesn't match-up.
    This however means I had even more turns to spend after grabbing you and losses were smaller. Cashing was not the option for me for a certain reason.

    But still, would you had made this thread if I had grabbed you 2 days earlier with the same losses, land gain and 0 turns at hand (I'm not sure whether you knew how many turns I had)?

    Look Kris, let it go, I was only a bit aggrivated with the grab that late, I know different people play different ways. So, lets just agree to disagree.

    No I would not have made a thread about a grab with 2 days left, Grabbing part of the game.
