So question to the Mods, I understand that 1A is a team effort, but when are they gonna start banning members of a clan hitting each other just to put them in DR. Exploiting a game mechanic is still an exploit and abuse of the rules.

If you understand that alliance is a team effort, why are you asking?

Only reason it's against the rules on solo servers is because those aren't supposed to be team efforts.

the view is that it's not an abuse of the rules (in 1A since it is a team server).

I'll give you that but do you at least acknowledge that it is a very lame tacit that needs to be addressed via game mechanics?

Seriously, what boltar said. Boo hoo, you can't farm a smaller alliance or one you're at war with. It's a smart play, deal with it.

When you go and spell tactic wrong on multiple occasions, then we are pretty sure you don't know how to spell. Lmfao.

Why is it lame. Only small clans and losing war clans do it. You can probably camp their news and beat them to it anyways.

So we're fine. Next to other fun fluff we're tinkering with new chewy toys teaches us lots of new fun stuff. The game is set in a very netterish setting atm even during war so we have to adapt :) and adapt we shall

it doesn't, just said putting countries in dr after grabbing can lead to war, especially if smaller tag does it.

In the ~10 years ago that I played FFA actively, putting yourself in DR was an everyday business. If it is that old, I can hardly imagine it being a flaw in the game mechanics. If you want it changed, that is a different thing... But there is sure nothing broken, exploited or even unbalanced in the game. (Since the DR will hardly be a main reason to win or lose a war, just a matter of how rich or poor the winner comes out of it at the end of the reset. Again, DR is not the sole reason for a win or lose, or a changing tide.)

The bigger issue to be addressed towards the admins would be the lag while defending that I have experienced two times now. However, if you are that much into the DR being unfair, why not SS/PS before we put ourselves in DR? Seems pretty straightfoward and effective to me lol. If you're this quick to wall, you are surely this quick for some free land as well?

doesn't matter at all when they're already at war, which is what boltar was getting at.

Get used to the complaining. Makinso used to do it in FFA tons when he warred NBK. He would lose, come up with excuses and then FS NBK the set after until he won. Expect it here as well.

AoDT disbanded after awhile as members started getting bored of losing to NBK.

LoL emerald if I recall correctly the score in old FFA was 1 - 1 then NBK takers swords and IMP decided to put out a 1000+++ country FS including bots and multie deletions on a 300 country AoDT and it took you more then 3 weeks to kill all originals.

What SoFer in RD? That is a pretty serious accusation you are making there. Are you implying that Heretodie is a SoFer? He has not been in SoF since I joined, so that is at least 18 months. How is he a SoFer?

Also Blotar you want to talk abou tag hoppers The IX Sheep #94 died last week (member of SoF gone rouge) now in SoL #1409 The IX Sheep. But a 45 member advantage wasn't enough for the "highly ranked Solers"
