It's become fairly obvious that this server is a great refuge for suiciders who think it's fun to AB a country for a grab or two because they don't have the tact or common decency to just try to retal, knowing full well they can hide behind a new name 2-3 days later. I've always been one to say 'to each his own', but this has just gone too far. It has come to the point of driving players out of the game, and has caused fewer and fewer experience players to take interest in the server itself.
I for one, LOVE playing Express. It's a great place to test out strat variations for me, if you screw up you're only 2-3 days from a fresh start, and there are no tags which makes grabbing possible here.
Efforts are being made on the admin level to stop these problems, however it appears to me that player intervention is necessary as well. I understand that some people are just naturally devoid of tact, and need regulatory systems to force them to not be a douche bag at the drop of a hat, but that doesn't mean those people should be tolerated, or made exceptions for, in a functional community. I won't let this server be forced into another all-x server by the few that can't control their selfish instincts
As of the end of the April 8th-12th set, I will be running strictly war countries in EE - all with the sole aim of finding and killing suiciders. If someone grabs you, and you turn around and AB them 50x, you will sign into a dead country. If you missile the hell out of a top 10 country, you will sign into a dead country. If you RoR, or just farm the crap out of smaller countries, you will sign into a dead country. Basically, if you don't show a little bit of maturity and understanding towards the fact that your actions have consequences to yourself and others.....well, I'll just impose the consequences for them so that hopefully they can go back to playing the game the way it's meant to be played.
Now this is not to say I'm out to kill every person who does something not nice, far from it actually. Some level of that is necessary in this game, and quite frankly I'm all for it. However, if you cross the line between playing the game and just trying to ruin someone else's chance to do the same, that's where I come in. I've tested out the formulas for solo killing here pretty well, and believe me it's not a problem.
Anyone interested in joining the fun is welcome to help out, just hit me up and we'll go from there.
