What are your thoughts on something like that?

Who would be interested in adopting that?

What implications do you think may come up?

The way I see it the traditional 72 hours retal window is simply to long on this server. If you think about it the retal window lasts for a 10th of the game, or ~300 turns. I would like to see a move away from the traditional retal system on this server and give something to encourage grabbing even more.

i believe someone brought this up last set as well. I definitely think it's a good idea to shorten the retal window.

I'd even go for a 36hr window, but hey..baby steps :P

I'd like to see a 48hr window implemented

whats the point when countries 4 times or more your size are doing the farming/grabbin.. if u shorten the retal time, limit how far a 3-5 mil country can reach down and grab

You hit me, I will retal you. No matter how long it takes me.

what ViLSE said.

72 hour retal window makes it easier to retal. A shorter window will make mid-feeding easier as there is less time to build retalling capability. I'm kinda torn, but I think I'm for maintaining the long retal window, just because even if you get more turns, a lot of players generally play once a day, and a shorter window would not only mean less ability, but also fewer "opportunities" time-wise to retal.

That being said, MadeMen currently practice a 72 hour retal window. We will not accept, nor perform retals outside this window. Any hits outside this window will be treated as land grabs (both outgoing and incoming)

I like the idea as well. KoN works on a 72 hour window as well, but I would be happy to shorten that to 48.

some idiot hit me 9 days after i grabbed him last set and claimed retal. needless to say it didn't end well for him.

don't be silly :P

Ok so it makes it easier to retal with a 72 hours window.

but you can spend 300 turns getting ready for a retal. in my mind you simply dont need that.

Sure you are going to have instances where you cant retal becasue Country A has 30Mil turrets and Country B only is capable of 10Mil jets.

To avoid that, you just need to have better team planning.

48h retal window is the natural choice, if not shorter to 36 hours as stated before.

72 h retal window with so many turns is a joke and a mockery. May as well have no time limit for retals.

This is something simple that everyone needs to come together on.

We in MadeMen support a shorter retal window if that's going to be de facto standard. We'd like to see other tags commit to this before putting it into practice though.

You hit me, I will retal you. No matter how long it takes me.

yes i brought this up last set too. Doesn't make sense to have the same 72 hour retal window now that there is 1 turn every 15 minutes. As of now there is no reason to grab any decent team because chances are at least one of their members will be able to grow to retal you within 72 hours.

Teams are going to have to begin by enforcing a 48 hour retal window during which they will accept retals. No team will agree to only a 48 hour window to pefrom a retal. This change is going to have to come from teams accepting retals within 48 hours, not giving retals within 48 hours.

I think it make sense but it will have to be decided by teams and likely through war as the country on the bottom end of this policy will not be happy. But in terms of numbers it makes good sense. In terms of execution, it is going to take some war and politics.

You hit me, I will retal you. No matter how long it takes me.

48 hours is fine, I would not support much less though - I take my own retals and I would hate to get frozen out if I went over a day without a login.

The concept of rules on this server is pretty dodgy anyway though, as there are a lot of divirgent retal policies right now.

ok i am glad EVO has made it clear that they will retal any landgrab during an indefinitately long retal window. Why don't you retal some of the grabs being made on your countries now? Or are you waiting a few weeks until you can build up the strength to muster a retal? Let me know how that works out for you. Good luck with that.

I've been talking about shortening the retal window to 48 hours for a few resets now.

WIth all the turns we have now compared to before... People don't need/shouldn't have that many turns to prep for a retal.

Are you playing on the team server?

cheers

The hell yall treehugger talking about changing now?

LOL... that fluff was 7 years ago. timestamps baby!

schweezy doesn't care about timestamps.

retal when ya retal. if you can enforce 48 hours go for it. good luck.

48hrs retal window was attempted on alliance (council) too due more turns but that didn't get approval either.
