Pointless question
I am sure something like this has happened to many, if not all players.
Its something I've pondered a while thought of asking before, and have have been prompted to ask it today.
Why do players target the invader that you have,rather than a new one, when an identical invader is in close proximity?
Devilment? Logical? Illogical? Coincidence ?Other?
I suppose the player that did this should be asked the question, but even if you were aware who it was, they may not answer, they may not answer truthfully.
I am already aware that the game doesnt flag that someone is attacking the same invader that you are, and only know if you are watching the global map and see the footprints, so if you are doing something off the global map you would be unaware of the event.
I suppose like all aspects of the game it depends on individual circumstances at the time . Unless ..
Is there any efficiency basis for doing this that I am missing?
