any nw record or top nw country from last reset on is in a different category with a * next to it. the ability to run a 0 mil country with no risk for free changes the game completely.

What is the order of operations on SO?

I'm curious on how the game determines who gets the orders when more orders are placed than are available at the selling price.

IE

3 people all have standing orders for 10000 each at $50 for food and 20k food hits the market at $40 and 3 batches of 5k@$42

How does the game determine who gets what? Or is it random?

Im out too.

It sucks because I was planning on trying to bring back some old players and rebuild an old FFA clan, was seriously considering trying to be a forum mod and become fully active again. But this new code quite literally killed the game.

I had just created countries in FFA a few days ago too.

Oh well, its been fun for the short lived time being back. If the game ever gets fixed, Id probably consider coming back, but until then, there is no point to continue to play.

Also, why is a country that is protected by free clanGDI still able to hit up/down at standard range and not the restricted NW range and having to declare war beyond that like a normie that pays for GDI is restricted to?

If we aren't gonna change the formula, can we change the name? It isn't GDI at all without restrictions on the countries that opt in, it's just a get out of war free button.

QZ, when does the retal window close for ClanGDI I see it says 72 hrs but does that reset for each party as the exchange hits?

If country A hits Country B and Country B retals 6x, is Country A then allowed to retal the retal? In theory exchanging hits within the 72 hr retal period for the rest of the reset?

Blatant interclan resource transferring is what it is. Especially with all that cash he had on hand. Clever exploit on the piggyback of pushing him into spy DR. Way more than FA would have allowed him to send.

The rest is opinion, you don't get takebacks with contracts because you didn't do your due diligence

Asking the developers if they plan to drop a game breaking mechanic, the day after countries are able to be made is due diligence for pacting? or not including that provision in the pact? That is pretty extreme, even for you.

LaF has everything we care about in the standard pact, but we also have no intention of breaking them so no clauses exist to do so. If SOL wants to be able to break their pacts whenever they like, they should probably add that term so they aren't liable for any damages.

The whole point of this thread is about the Devs dropping massive game breaking mechanics which acted as sanctions. And then when that wasnt enough to appease the whining LaF, they dropped more. Thee reason for bringing up pacts at all was because LaF was acting in bad faith in the pacting. The accusation is that they knew the changes were coming, as they were in discussions about it behind the scene with the devs.

I dont particularly have a dog in this fight because I am not tagged SoL this set or last, so the pacts dont impact me, but working on (and signing) multi set pacts to calm tensions and stop the grudges, while also crying to the devs to implement massive changes to protect yourselves from any attacks to calm tensions in the background is really bad faith.

and QZ using the rationale of "we needed to calm to server down" as a reason for it being rushed, despite it being dropped after traditional FR had already run its course and multi set pacts were signed stopping that tension, yikes. it just felt really suspect from a player standpoint.

After the implementation of clanGDI there was literally only 1 way this warring side could possibly impact the game without being forced to net. LaF didn't have to carry any defense, just have SOME spies. They chose the path of 0 spies to maximize potential nw finish. A few had 25-30k spies on 70k land. But that was it. We were forced to adapt on the fly. Why should you not also be forced to adapt to the changing game rather than just being able to freely net with 0 defense and 0 spies.

Our war room was literally taken out of the game overnight without advanced warning. So we found a way and adapted to the new game.

Cheers.

The biggest scams are in NYC and Boston shipping welfare/snap food to Dominican Republic in the blue barrels via ship. Costs them under $100 to ship per barrel then they have a dealer in DR to sell it on the streets making thousands.

Blackhole just needs more time and to get guidance from other people.

He's active, has a decent grip of how to play the game, and wants to learn. That's pretty much all you need. Just needs a better surrounding.

Being used by Gerdler (the player not the mod) as cannon fodder and a meat shield and then allowing BH to run his mouth to become the public punching bag didn't allow him to establish himself as a player before becoming public enemy.

Like I've said before, he would likely be fun to have on your side but a pain to fight against given the right situation to develop. He just came up in the wrong situation.

Mostly it was an Aaron Hernandez joke.

What happened to Aaron Hernandez?

Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez died at the age of 27 on April 19 2017 after hanging himself in his prison cell. He was serving a life sentence without parole for murder. He had also just been acquitted on double homicide charges days prior. He self-deleted. It was fitting. The rest was just fluff.
