It's ok Nole, I've already suggested admins make a new server for dead weight and useless Alliances such as yours.

If you couldn't be bothered playing for ICN yet still feel the need to comment on the policies of other Alliances then I guess that is even sadder for ICN :)

just my own personal opinion but....


What is the point of being against Landtrading now?

- The game has been changed so that Landtraders can't compete with Techer/bottomfeeders (even Xin commented that a landtrader has been nurfed to the point that it's no longer competitive with the techer strat and I'd say he's probably near the tops of the calculator mafia types)

- It's interactive, promotes activity, and gets players communicating (more likely to keep playing)

- provides something different from bottom feeding/all exploring

The game mechanics were edited so that landtrading is no longer the dominant strategy. It needed to be fixed and it was. So really I don't understand the big kafuffle about it now.

if someone wants to do it, good on them, they can't win if a techer that even somewhat knows how to play is playing.

Bottom feeding is crappy, and is almost to a luck of the draw for most. There are a few players that have self texting notifications when untags gain acres or come out of DR. Then there's the group of semi inactive players that go all explore.

Rather than trying to figure out how to block a few way that has emerged that promotes activity and also doesn't prevent the "purest" text bot notified players from winning.... why not try to accept it, bring it in and do it better?

:P

This is why SoF recognises the right of a country to manipulate SS/PS retals to 79.9%, so that the retaller is entitled to another grab when taking land:land. Therefore, our competitive grabbing is why we do not exchange grabs with our FDPs; only those with uNAP/PPs and no pacts.

..SNIP..

However, we will enforce our anti-landtrading/two-stepping policies on all alliances and are prepared to fight over it.

<u>Retal Policy</u>

...SNIP...

We consider it a fair practice if an alliance tries to maximise retals, by trying to get as close to 80% as possible (Using PS/SS if necessary) and taking a final retal. In the same way, we consider it fair play if the attacker tries to get the retaller to fail a retal. This is because we see grabbing as competitive.

..SNIP..

- The alliance that has been two-stepped can take land:land or 1:1, whichever is greater, against the offender.


Flamey, please share your thoughts (and SoF's, if different) on the acceptability of using demoralize spy ops in order to take a retal or make taking a retal easier. Do you and/or SoF accept this practice?

Thanks!

My thoughts, and Sof's is against demo's before a retal. You know this situation has been resolved and we educated said parties, so why bring it up here???

I even offered up my own country to make that action right.
