Oh, and I did make the mistake of posting on his profile, so now he was a way to come back and keep farming me. That was before I read Bad's strategy of not commenting for that exact reason.
So, there I was. Sitting at 4 allies, building up my income and defense, minding my own business. Suddenly I start getting farmed by a guy a few levels above me but with a max number of allies and a decent amount of defense and income buildings. Turns out, he cruises people's comment sections and picks out weaker players and starts farming them. Now this guy has died over 200 times from being sanctioned and has plenty of comments from pissed off victims (which he deletes, except for 1 from each person so he can come back and hit you again in case you're different level)
I've had to up my number of allies in the past few days and invest in more defensive units and buildings to try and discourage this douchebag from farming me. The messed up thing is that he farms in the middle of the night, like 3-4 am. So what do you think I should do? Should I drop my alliance back to 4 and just try and live with the losses this guy will certainly put on me, or do I keep building up my defense at the expense of my income to try and fight him off?
Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but...
Since he already has a link to you, via the post you made on his profile, why not post just once more asking him nicely to please give you a break or ease up on you? I always stop attacking if someone simply asks me not to. We don't know what the emotional or mental state is, of the other players. While we are not responsible for them to that extent, it is still a good idea to quit if they ask. But this is just how I view it. After all, we know it's just a game but some people take it very seriously.
On the other hand, posting insane rants, threats or other such comments, or spamming one's profile with gibberish, is not ever going to earn their good will and cooperation. I had one person start by immediately threatening me with her Alliance. They were worthless as far as helping her is concerned. She said they would teach me a lesson... I'm still waiting, Toni.
That guy that is farming you sounds exactly like me, except that I am not a douchebag. Oh, and one last comment: Tyler's advice works. I wrote a post a while ago about how one of my cash-cows finally got smart and raised his defenses to the point where I can no longer beat him. Way to go Gen. PR!

Tried the nice approach, didn't work. He just ignored me and kept farming me at night. I don't have a problem if people attack me to get cash. Most are similar strength/level as me, only do it 3-4 times, and back off. This guys takes the coward's way and picks on the players that started playing later than him. Oh well, to each his own. I did try boosting up my alliance and defensive units/structures but it was starting to seriously eat into my income. So I figured I'll keep spending my cash on defense/income structures and if I'm asleep, then I'm asleep. What can I do. Last night he farmed me for a mil around 6 in the morning. Oh well. My income is 2.2 mil right now and keeps growing. I'm trying to get to level up to lvl25 so I can build oil rigs. According to justcalcit.com, oil rigs are twice as efficient at generating cash at the current price of my other income buildings. Which means that right now, instead of spending 8.5 mil on a power plant to make 56K, I can spend the 20 mil to make 270K.
P.S. Somebody mentioned that waiting for him to get 7 levels above me would make him stop farming me. How so?
