Ever just... minded your own business on day 1 playing Syria and all of a sudden Iraq attacks you and you're like "Ok, I'll just crush this man with a counter-attack after this."
The next day, you wake up to see that Iraq's troops have died and you execute operation flip table. Then, a Opportunist from the north comes along and you're like "Damn, looks like I'll need to uSe gOlD to save my city." So you spend 2k on 2 infantry divisions and counter attack Turkey that tried to take advantage of your weakness and crush his 5 unit stack that invaded one of your core provinces. You succeed in crushing both Iraq and Turkey. "Alright, we've gone to a rough start... but I think I'll make it." Alas, there comes another competitor, "Ah damn, here we go again." Once again, you do the exact same strategy. Operation flip table: Electric Boogaloo, he attacks your cores with infantry on them, you counter-attack after his units dies. And at the end of the day, you gain 2 new ICs from Turkey, a Iraq that has all of his cities devastated and a Saudi Arabia that is struggling but still has a 5 stack left.
You breathe a sigh of relief and thought to yourself " Oh man, I crushed these fools. Time to tell about my victories in the Middle east before sleeping." You finish writing your sentence worth of an article and went to sleep.
The VERY next day, you woke up and decide to check up on the progress of the squashing of the last remaining armies of the nations that dare attack the great Syria. Then, you see a handful of articles icons. You decide to check it because you really had nothing to do but watch paint dry. So, you open it up. Guess what? You get ganged on again. This time: Annons and unpleasant messages from the defeated nations you had so easily crushed. You wondered what wrong you ever did? Is it because of the shameless crushing of the newbies? Is it because you boasted too much? Or is it because your opponents were too afraid of you and decided to try to instigate other nations to attack you? Nevertheless, you decide to join a coalition called "The Steel Pact" (Yes, very original name, tell that to the ones who made the coalition.) to ensure the safety of your nations and your citizens
The moral of the story? It's to get ganked on by a bunch of newbies and steal their land, increasing the amount of land you own by threefold and getting to the top of the leaderboard in points. Thus, pissing off a bunch of other people and intimidating them in the process.
