that arent playing on the FFA server.

mind if I ask why not? the server could really use some new blood and a new political dynamic.

would it hurt to add 16 more countrys to the 1 you already play?

please consider it :)

think it has something to do with L:L policies not being recognized on the FFA server, but i don't rightly remember.
y'all kept going on and on about something about it being the FFA server and not the Alliance server, and they shouldn't come and play there.

I helped SoF in their war and 16 countries was exhausting. Maybe it was just going to the warchats that was exhausting though. I guess I could play 16 countries in about 15 minutes. It's the wars that are so time consuming.

Once the control screen is fixed for FFA and "sell all" of a given commodety at x prices on the selected countries (from the control screen) than the time it takes to war could be drastically cut down. That is the real cross-over problem in my mind. I enjoy FFA a lot. Some of the war alliances there are hardcore.

1. We don't like FFA policies. (as dibs said)
2. We would have to fight wars to bring in reasonable policies. (as Lefty said)
3. War on FFA is exhausting. (as Helmet said)
4. We're old and tired. (my contribution to this thread)

You can do well in FFA with less than 16 countries. However, from what I've read on the FFA forums, I don't think that FFAers would be very welcoming to 1Aers.

Land:Land crap isn't silly. Hitting an alliance that can retal you is silly.

If you idiots in FFA stopped grabbing people that can retal you, we wouldn't have to worry about 1:1 or Land:Land.

so what you're saying is to promote the bottom-feeding/farming of noobs?

Ofc u hit people that have a chance of retal. that's what ghost acres are for.

Also, i agree that l:l sucks. it has always sucked. was onl ever put in place to further opress clans that had limited resources to start with and create a bigger gap between them and the 'big guys'.

With that said, i won't play FFA. if i was going to play a multi-country server, i'd much rather play one where everyone started with one country and there were methods of creating new ones if X was accomplished. starting off the mark with 16 countries gives me a headache.

No, I'm saying either go all-explore or get enough defense to bounce retals.

Land:Land was put in place in response to alliances going to war if you got enough defense to bounce their retals. Because midfeeding alliances and bouncing retals causes wars, people stopped doing it (because it would turn a netting set into a war set). Without the need to bounce retals from established alliances, skilled players instead had to keep artificially low networths to have a larger selection of untaggeds & noobs to grab.

When two people trade grabs, the less skilled player benefits. 1:1 retals benefit the less skilled players. 1:1 is just as artificial a policy as land:land. The most realistic policy would be 1:kill.

If you grab someone who has not grabbed you, why should they not be allowed to take back what was theirs?

If you don't like someone doing land:land retals on you, get more turrets.

The controls for FFA need to be updated and have new features added to cut down on playing time. That is really the answer. I doubt you see many people crossing over due to time constraints as opposed to policy differences between the two servers.
