Aye, sadly it is the only way to badge up with the badge reset. Everyone is trying to get back where they were. If you don't jump on people before someone else does... :(

I went on a spree yesterday and got my avenger badge. I'm hoping to get the good doctor one on chaos week!

A lot of folks hang out on the events page and watch for folks deploying mines so they can nick them. (Me, I hang out on the events page and watch for folks deploying mines so I can use my armor and get Bedouin cred, but I'm weird like that.)

I don't get it- are there limits? Can Chava just dump 50 Nicks on me because he's got datapoints to burn, and prevent me, a lowly destroyer, from ever successfully mining anyone?
Do Nicks time-out? How do I get out from under higher level Vigilantes and/or badge hunters?

I think the most Nicks you can have on you at one time is 5. The most number of mines you can have on a page is 50 so yes there are limits. Of course some people try to catch you planting mines in real time so they can keep Nicking you so it might seem like there are more than 5 Nicks on you.

Back before I'd established any rivals or people to commonly nick, I would look at the latest activity of the users, and whoever was laying mines... I'd nick them full.

I'd also look at the activity of my allies or acquaintances, and whoever had tripped a mine recently... I nick'd the person whose mine they tripped.

@festy, sorry if you felt it was unjust, I'm just trying to badge up. I can only lay 5 nicks at a time, but if you burn through them I can reload on you.

I usually offer my nicking victims some compensation, so I apologize if I missed you. If you'd like reparations, just IM and I'll drop you a crate or two of your preferred tool.

(I'm also going for benefactor badges, so dropping crates is what I do!)

@Chava, happy to take you up on your offer. But it wasn't just you.
I would drop about 5 mines each day before giving in to the seemingly infinite Nick attacks by a Vigilante - actually a different one each day!
Apparently I just need to build up my inventory and then go on a 2am tear. Good to hear there is a 5 Nick limit.

Another tip:

Don't declare the time of your attacks :P

Another tip. Get lots and LOTS of mines, and try to out race the nick's.
Preferably on the profile of the person nicking you.
