I can completely understand netters sets being destroyed, sucks. What I can see is that this event has brought the majority of the server together and its brought life back into the forums. It's brought enemies to the table and seen tags fight together for the greater good.

Alot needs to change for this game to move forward, but I am enjoying seeing old names pop back onto the forums, and the community more active.

This is the first time I've been online to wall in years - got to admit it got my juices flowing, especially with the combination of LaF, SOL, Elders and more working together. It's a lot harder to wall these days with the speed attacks and not being able to drop as much land!

Mr Cuban, I'd be cautious to say recent events have been good for activity.

What we're seeing is a spike in activity, in what has been a general decline in the player base. I wouldn't be surprised if the recent events leads to an accelerated overall decline, as players who have been thinking of leaving for a while, now have more of a impetus to quit.

At the moment the parameters within the game make it too easy for suiciders to wreak havoc, and until changes are made, I can only see our numbers dwindling.

I see it the other way around. It's not solo players who are barking. Solo players often play conservatively, and then act out when they view their treatment as unfair. When they do act out, or, as in this case, they band together to act out, alliances start barking about how unfair solo players are.

The thing is, we weren't beating on defenseless know-nothings like KoH. We were beating on massive countries that forgot that diplomacy and tag protection are not always the answer. It's always been a war game...its even programmed that way. If you fail to defend yourself, you should expect to get bent over and ridden. This game used to be a dense forest full of wolves...now it's a pen full of sheep calling a couple of wolves names as if that will stop them from being wolves. Not only doesnt the current playerbase learn from their actions, they dont want to learn. We're here to remind them that they need to be adaptable in a war environment. The sheep have become far too rigid and the wolves have heard the dinner bell...and we're not leaving until our bellies are full or the sheep stop being sheep.

Still bad analogy naminef, you are using a primal instinct or urge (hunger) as an “accountable” concept for whatever you’re doing. Wrong.

Nothing to do with that, you wish to go upon ways of old with 1000+ players, that concept is looonnngg Gone. Like i Told you whatever you do it does not matter unless you manage to spark player growth with your actions. Guess what? So far your actions are doing the exact opposite.

So to use your analogy, the wolves Didnt use their brain, Because the sheep can’t learn in their current enviroment. Eventually they ate All sheep and the remainder of sheep fled the area. Ultimately The wolves died of starvation.

If you want a player base, you need something to lure them in. Conflict does that. We can bring the conflict, however, unless the dems get an app written for this, it's a moot point anyways. The game needs a younger playerbase and you wont get them logging into a browser to do maths without it having some payoff. Some superficial graphics would help too. ABs are great, but if you want a younger demographic, when you do an AB tanks should be firing at something. Stuff like that is what you NEED if you want to game to survive and grow. Personally I dont need that stuff, but I'm not in the demo that games need to grow.

Ohh and LI only posted one of his threads. Make a search on this mrcuban and you will see he does that over and over, get's help and still fails another 2 months later. I thought he was trolling at one point after helping him two sets in a row. He keeps thinking tanks have 3 def points and turrets have 2 or thinking def allies can only help the defender add 25% to their break.

The AT community has spent hours upon hours educating this guy in how to math out breaks and now he wishes suicides on those same posters that helped him(which he always does).

You know, this would have been easy to fix.

Start with banning alt accounts and alt forum handles.

Second, start dishing out IP bans for griefers. As bad as Dagga and Dibs were on the forums, they were never deliberately trying to drive away the playerbase for lulz.

Third, get rid of the idiotic fluffing restart bonus that rewards this behavior.

Adjusting the DR for grabs would not hurt either.

I've never seen a game where deliberate attempts to wreck the playing experience of others was not harshly punished.

I don't see how these guys can have the same impact on the server next set, as they did this set. They were able to hide in plain sight, stock and then do damage with stock. Next set the challenge will be a lot harder to hide. You're either in your own tag and you get rick rolled. You hide in another tag (which should be harder) or you play untagged and well... yeah.

I have asked recently for alt forum accounts to be removed. Was told it would take some time?
So I have been now banning alt accounts made.

OMG, this is great. I've always believed that all you PANGERS were like sheep grazing on the fields of newbies and taking high offense that somebody in your scores list dared to attack you and you had ZERO chance of getting your land back, thus you invented the term "top-feeder" and banded together to try to discourage players like that.
