Also, donations may of been used in the past to give late signups a boost but there is a huge difference between boosting a lower value/score new planet to catch up with the rest of the universe and boosting someone to be 2x the size of the #1 planet.
See, the problem of cutting my post into small pieces is that you end up replying with points I've already responded to.

I checked; nothing about donations in the EULA.

Having double the value of the #2 planet is not a tangible gain? even if its just a short term gain instead of longterm, it is still a gain which also harms other top planets who are now extremly easy targets and will continue to be easy targets while he maintains the lead. Those other top planets would of been able to get the required defence and/or use the upgrade bonus or stockpile bonus to stop some waves from landing on them but if this guy decides to attack its almost impossible to stop him at this point in the game.

If he decides to join an alliance attack and the galaxy decides to defend against the huge fleet, then isnt that diverting more galaxy fleets than would otherwise allowing other members to land?
I already pointed out that he can't cap as many roids as most people can, so why anyone would bother defending against him, as opposed to 5 fleets of 100k value, is beyond me.

You also appear to be forgetting that 7 other people basically ruined their own rounds to make this happen. 7 people that could've sent 21 fleets on the same galaxy that now only gets 3 fleets incoming.

It might also be worth mentioning at this point that he can't actually attack anyone right now, except for one guy in his own alliance.

So he gave them the coy little wave and realized it probably would have been more effective if he hadn't been lying on their turkey.
