My new addiction is "Mob Wars" on Facebook. It reminds me of the old dialup BBS games.
Yesterday some guy decided to keep attacking me. He was strong enough to win most of the fights which would earn him money each time but not enough to really make a big dent in my cash. I would retaliate by putting him on the hitlist. The bounty was much, much more than what I was losing to his attacks but it was kind of a fun little pissing match. I'd hitlist him which guarantees he'll be dead within seconds as thousands of players clamor for the bounty.
Over the course of the evening last night, I earned a LOT more money and quadrupled the size of my mob and their armaments. This morning, he started his attacks again with a much different result. He eventually sent me the following message:

hey.. u increased ur mobsize overnight, raised ur levels.. impressing.
but i can still fuck u.. eheheh
Nevermind the fact that this message reads like a bad spam email (Increase your mobsize overnight with our herbal viagra!), he obviously didn't get the hint. He kept trying and, through his repeated failures, actually HELPED me jump two levels. Then he sent this:

i don t think u have the health and the stamina for intense fighting.. anyway lets stop this nosens ! who started it anyway ?
He was wrong. I had enough cash to keep my "Boss" healthy and I have friends whose in-game wealth is astronomical so I had them repeatedly hit-listing him, too. I was bored, though, so I just ended up inviting him to join my mob (which means we're unable to attack each other anymore). Ahh, such juvenile fun.
