I look at this whole locking the district thing on both ends. Whenever my corp loses activity enough where we can't even field 6 guys for a battle consistently, we've let the districts go. First, when we had 28 or so districts and then when we tried to make a comeback and grabbed 13 districts and then the holidays came and noone was online pretty much.
But then look at what happens now? As soon as we grab a district it gets attacked by NS or AE. You don't get a chance to build up. In the same way that RA feels like they shouldn't have to only be on defense.......they make others be on defense only. NS has 60 districts and they blitz all of your districts so that you can not launch an attack back. Clone packs sends only 120 clones...how are we supposed to be able to consistently beat a good corp with that?
So, when I launch an attack and leave a district with low clones, I lock it because it will get attacked and we will only have enough clones to practically defend for one battle. If clone pack attacks went back up to 150 or something, then it wouldn't be so bad because if an alliance like RA blitzes you all of the time (to the point where you are always on the defense) then you can launch a clone pack and try to work with that).
If we had as many districts as the bigger alliance....then you could leave your districts online and duke it out. But when you have 3 or so and you're on the defense all of the time (same reason why RA says they're locking theirs now) and being blitzed constantly, how can you build to get to that point?

But when you have 3 or so and you're on the defense all of the time (same reason why RA says they're locking theirs now) and being blitzed constantly, how can you build to get to that point? I hear you on this..and I truly understand that locking ONCE in awhile necessary..heres where I have a huge problem with what has been going on for the past 2 weeks. PD Mass attacked DDB, and they flipped 2 of our districts, all of our fights have been great fights and ive really enjoyed them..BUT...they are bragging repeatedly saying "HAHA, we are locking our districts and sending all these clones against you, and you cant do anything about it" How is that fair? How can we sit there, and realistically judge the progress of the war, when all we can do is launch clone packs, IF were lucky to before they lock their districts. They claim they are winning...HOW CAN SOMONE CLAIM TO BE WINNING WHEN THEIR DISTRICTS ARE LOCKED AND WE CANT RETALIATE. Where was the public outrage when FA constantly locked? Where IS the public outrage for STB/PD locking everything...for 2 weeks. We want a good fight, but who can honestly have a good fight, when you cant fight back. If people cant handle a war, without locking, then why mass attack us? Cubs, Kain, your about to be even richer
And I understand your position as well. I would feel the same way. But one thing for certain is that if STB hadn't locked their districts, NS would have blitzed all of them at the same time because they have so many. And if NS had them spread out over Japanese hours, then if they wanted, STB can retaliate on a timer they can try to make.
But again, NS blitzes all of your districts....and all that you can do is defend. Cause even if you defend well, they can launch another the next day with another set of districts while the first group recoups. Does that make locking districts a good thing? No, but there's a cause and effect. I don't know, back in the early days of PC, there was a balance of power and everyone had a certain amount of districts so you could have a well fought war. It's just different now.

NS might alliance hop but correct me if I'm wrong because i started playing this game after some stuff I'm about to say, NS join NF but didn't NF eventually break up and leave NS without the alliance they thought they were joining? I think NS join LOI could be wrong though but did they leave around the time Kujo took all the best players from Hellstorm, if so didn't LOI leave NS without the alliance they thought they were joining, EON. like many former players from this alliance said their player base died around the FEC and tournament so maybe when Nyain joined EON. they were not aware of this because i joined NS after they join eon. but i think i still have that mail someone sent out ask for all active players in the alliance with a 3 or above KDR to join together for one last thing, but once again i could be wrong with what I'm saying so if I'm anything i wrote is not true please corrected me
That seems correct and now I feel like a jackazz. 
Why do you feel like a jackass? I'm sure that for every mishap, one could find a way to justify their actions to make it seem legit.
You know, if NS hadn't asked to join EoN, then I could maybe understand. Because they joined NF from the start and maybe they knew some of the players that ended up in AE and that might make sense. Because from the outside looking in, it looked like they joined LOI because NF joined the LOI effort to get rid of EoN.
So, when LOI lost the war and EoN was on top...how come NS didn't rejoin with Who Gives A Flux or NF right after? NS took a few districts from GEN and Rogue Spades. EoN started launching attacks against NS and then next thing you know, Mavado is telling everyone that NS wants in and they will be in EoN. Whoever the diplo was even saying that they joined NF and LOI but they feel like EoN is where they want to call home.
Skip to where EoN started to lose all of its activity......Machine Guns said he got my message asking everyone to band together, which implies that NS was still in the alliance. Why didn't they stay and fight with the alliance they wanted to "call home"? What happened is that TP passed the torch to AE and NS went on the 4th bandwagon in their career.

So, then you understand why corps lock their districts then.
