I THINK YOU'RE WRONG ON THE MARKET PART OF THIS ONE, SOV. DURING OUR WAR WITH LAF IN OUR INAUGURAL RESET, BILL AND I WERE RELEGATED TO FARM STATUS AS WE WERE NO LONGER VIEWED AS A THREAT. BECAUSE OF THAT, I WAS ABLE TO EASILY STOCKPILE FOOD ON THE MARKET, SELL IT JUST AFTER THE PEAK, AND USE THAT TO STEAL BILLIONS IN CASH AND FOOD FROM LAF PLAYERS. LAF WAS ABLE TO COUNTER THIS - AS THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN - BY SIMPLY KILLING MY COUNTRY AND ELMINATING THOSE ASSETS. IF I'D BEEN ABLE TO PROTECT ALL OF THAT ON THE MARKET AGAIN, I COULD HAVE EASILY REPEATED MY ACTIONS AT LEAST ONCE, IF NOT MORE TIMES. 70% IS JUST FAR TOO MUCH OF ANYTHING TO BE RETURNED TO THE DECEASED COUNTRY.

I FOR ONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS IDEA GO AWAY OR AT LEAST BE DRASTICALLY REDUCED - EVEN THOUGH IT HAS HELPED US IN OUR WAR AGAINST TPA. IF IT IS GOING TO BE KEPT THOUGH, MAYBE THE LOST ASSETS, RATHER THAN BEING JUST VAPORIZED, SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE COUNTRY WHICH DID THE KILLING.

PERSONALLY, I LIKED THE RAMPING UP WHICH WAS PUT IN PLACE A FEW RESETS AGO. I KNOW IT RESULTED IN LONG KILL RUNS, BUT IT PROPERLY REWARDED PLAYERS FOR KEEPING REASONABLE AMOUNTS OF DEFENSE ON HAND. IF THE RAMPING UP CONCEPT WAS STILL IN PLACE, EN4CER COULD HAVE DRAMATICALLY REDUCED THE DAMAGE TO HIS COUNTRY JUST BY UPPING HIS MILITARY LEVELS SOME, WITHOUT HAVING TO KEEP THOSE LEVELS SO HIGH AS TO CRIPPLE HIS COUNTRY ECONOMICALLY.

I THINK I'M DONE WITH THIS POST NOW.. SORRY TO BE SO BRIEF AND UNDETAILED, BUT I JUST DON'T HAVE TIME FOR A LOT OF TYPING THIS EVENING. :)

I had to edit my post 5 times to fix the quote lol.

Some form of suiciding has to remain in the game to discourage large alliances from bullying smaller ones out of existance with impunity.

LaF countries have done HSOPs on other clans at the end of the set

To be perfectly honest this is what you get for letting hanlong back into your alliance you cheating fluffs.

My original proposal also had it that restarts would keep the same name as the original country so that suiciders could not hide, in which case an Alliance can deal with it's stock.

I like this idea. Keeping the same name

Sov I like ya, but refering to over 100 players as "your stock" just because the play different then you, is the type of mentality that makes people want to mess with certain clans.

Well in that case, just "pretend" I'm drunk.

As for keeping the same name, really don't like the idea. It is not my fault most of you are not as creative as me and come up with great names. But have no problem if there was a way to figure out who you are the restart of.
I'm not quite sure what you are referring to but I believe you mis-interpreted my post :)

By stock I am talking about stockpiled food or other goods on the market, not players ;)

Hanlong does not play Earth Empires.

He plays Werewolf sometimes, and sometimes answers questions such as where to eat.

Qz could confirm either which way. It is my belief that yes he is about the game and that at this point no he is not playing.

U could tell if Hanlong is playing by looking at the player base can't u?

I actually would be interested in hearing from TPA and Danger regarding what they think of the changes.. :P

martian I'm tagged in TPA and yes the changes are of disadvantage for the larger tag. Maybe we have not adjusted faster and have dilemmas over killing or crippling the target. Had we been warring, maybe we could say the changes were good.

actually I think keeping the same country name is not necessarily a bad thing.
I'm hard pressed to think of good reasons why not. For purposes of normal warring it woudln't really matter much I don't think... might take some fun out of making taunting country names though:P

MARTIAN JUST SAID WE CAN RUN MULTIES

YAY!

@locket: we reserve the right to but in some cases it's because of a lost password/honest mistake so we don't.
Also lets say that I have one country with one account. End of reset I make a second account and abandon my first account and have one country there and never use the first account again. While that's technically against the rules, it doesn't give you any advantage over another player so odds are we would let that go. The preference is that people don't do it though.

Do it and see what I do to you :P
I over ride martian now

Didnt LT get deleted for this or am I remembering wrong?

If I remember right, EVO accused LT of doing it, and in so, Admins from EVO used their Admin power to find out ownership of a country to satisfy EVO's curiosity.

I don't believe whether or not it was confirmed that it was LT who did it.

Also, I started the 2nd account to suicide Evo as BAIT to CATCH them for admin abuse, and guess what? Worked like a charm.

If you recall, Slagpit only checked information about that at the request of a LaF leader =/ and while I wouldn't consider it cheating, it is silly to have multiple accounts. (and against our stated rules)
