I'm starting to wonder just how many teams are allied with Hello and/or Hamster, how many are trying to force JB330 to build for Elem3ntal's sake, and how many are trying to get LAFTA to take bricks so that they'll have a better chance at the penthouse. Might be one or two teams trolling too...
Regardless of who is trying to do this JB will build when he is ready to and LAFTA WILL NOT be taking on any bricks.
If that's your plan then we'd both better hope that I'm wrong. I'm afraid that trying to win practically every single prize offered is just going to make you a giant target.
This is too funny.
It's funny because it's true. At this point, there is little risk of full reprisal. You have had five teams launch at you, and my guess would be that you get a sixth tonight and a seventh tomorrow and an eighth on Saturday (judging from the teams that are at the point that they need to start looking at expending their bricks). It is unlikely that you could actually retaliate against every team that launches against you, so the mutually assured destruction principle no longer applies to your team. Most teams are able to attack you with relative impunity since by the time you are ready to launch again (this weekend if the tea leaves are correct), you will have to decide who the biggest threat is to your team. I'm not going to speculate on that one, but I suspect you have 3 candidates. For launch four, you will be looking at what prize you actually want to win, since the original launchers will have enough to launch at you if you are still a threat (GNB already has a few bricks back). Because in all seriousness, even with two towers down, I would suspect that you would still look like a threat to everyone involved.
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. That's the issue you have run up against. You always need to be wary of the blue turtle shell. |

Dog, to add another inquiry to your ongoing FAQ list, what if this is not an option because maybe you have gotten the game from Gamefly or some other rental/borrow place and can no way boot it up again? |

| I wonder how long Grape Ape could last if every day the team with the most bricks threw them in their direction? |

This happened to me with MagnaCarta 2 since I completed the game five minutes after the cutoff my blog never reported the completion and I had already shipped it back. But that night the game appeared in my signature and on ebash. Sometimes it takes a couple days though. |

I like to think of it like Groundhog Day. Every morning I wake up and every day we have to tackle a half dozen bricks or so. |

You're just trying to redefine "Tandar"-ing

I can promise GNB is done throwing bricks at Grape Ape. The damage is done, really done, so between that, JB's impressive stubbornness and Joshnorm's very generous donation to my wife's Relay for Life campaign, GNB will *not* throw more bricks at Grape Ape.
I'm sure by the time we get back up to 9 or 10 some target will have presented itself (don't think I don't see you Team K. It's always the quiet ones....) |

It usually takes 2-3 days for the backup sync to run. Looks like it's been running, so you should be caught up soon. |

So if we donate to your wife, your team won't throw bricks at our team? |

.....yes.....but it's a sliding scale, so you'd need to beat Josh's (very) generous donation....then the next would need to beat your donation...and it's all for a good cause so I don't feel dirty at all!
(Aright, maybe a little dirty) |

What happens if you try to throw at team K, but LAFTA's tower is so tall that the bricks hit it instead and "fall" onto Grape Ape? I've seen your arms, I don't think you'll be hitting team K if you wait much longer. |

Thank god I only had to beat Josh  Don't think your threat was why I donated though, been through cancer myself so I donate to causes like this whenever I can, though the threat did drive me to quicker action lol |
