If you click the "express" tab you can see that profile is not ranked in any category other than "best finish".

It is now possible to split up a new standing order into three parts. The requested quantity will be evenly divided by 3 and rounded down. For example, suppose a player requests a standing order for one million troops with a maximum price of $150. If the player clicks the "Split into three orders" checkbox then they will see the following:

Waiting for activation: Purchase up to 333,333 Troops at $150 or less. Cancel Order
Waiting for activation: Purchase up to 333,333 Troops at $150 or less. Cancel Order
Waiting for activation: Purchase up to 333,333 Troops at $150 or less. Cancel Order

This was still possible and I've implemented another fix just now. Please post here if you experience this behavior in the future. It would be especially helpful if Express players try to test this.

One of your trade pact allies likely has not logged in for a long time. You can check the last login times of your allies by looking at their spy ops. I have fixed the ingame help text.

#87 must have cursed everyone.

I appreciate your common sense perspective, but some of these players get banned on purpose with the goal of convincing other people to quit the game because of their "unfair ban". We've even had players message the mods requesting a ban only to later have other players complain about that ban.

Deleted and banned for cheating.

Hi all,

smlandau84, the player superfly cheated with to win round 831, has created over a dozen game accounts in order to disrupt game play on the Express server. The game mods are working to correct this issue. On the administration side, we've implemented some new anti-cheating measures to deal with this problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Superfly falsely accused another player of being a pedophile. Would you like me to undelete his post? Is this how we play the game now? Falsely accuse each other of being pedophiles?

It's a bit much

Why would we allow someone who doesn't play the game to keep making fluffty comments everywhere that hurt the game?

You've used sports analogies in the past. Go join a local sports league, cuss out the referee to his face, and report back to us how that goes for you.

Hi Superfly, I'd be happy to stop mocking you for your comments if you stop complaining everywhere about bans. Deal?

The Alliance server community generally rewards those who are cruel to others. Players can do the most depraved fluff imaginable, even going as far as hacking the game, and they will still always be welcomed in Alliance server social spaces.

Btw this same guy was deleted dozens of times on his original account and even put the n-word in his country names. He's a super great guy though!

You must be confused. He is a "great guy" and "Definitely one of the nicest people playing express currently".

He's currently using multiple game accounts to cheat and suicide on other players, but I hear that he's a really nice guy otherwise.

Players who only play on a single server will eventually not be able to maintain their premium subscription because they won't earn points at a fast enough rate. The Cooperation server is a good second choice server for players who aren't sure where else to play.

This should be fixed now.

No, he's been farming drama on the forums instead.

If superfly thinks that what he did wasn't cheating that means that he's likely to do it again. Sanctions are only used to prevent future problems.

Who said anything about "branding you a cheater for life"? Are you trying to generate more discord drama or something? The path to you not being under military sanctions is incredibly simple.

Another player named his country after you, deliberately stole cash from other players, and funneled $8 B to you during the final hours of the set to allow you to steal the win. The primary issue here is that you are acting as if you did nothing wrong. That means that you're likely to do it again in a future round. Do you truly believe that you didn't cheat?

I R WoG SuperFly God Of War (#66) sent over $8 billion in market aid to Mr Titanium Is The Baba Yaga (#67). This was enough for Mr Titanium Is The Baba Yaga (#67) to steal an undeserved win. Without the aid he likely would have been in sixth place or so.

The rules clearly state the following: "This server does not have clans. Playing in order to benefit another player is not allowed. Working with another player to disadvantage another player is not allowed."

Both players have been placed under military sanctions and further penalties will be applied in the future.

You can spend them here: https://www.earthempires.com/portal/premium

Players used to be able to get an extra 20 acres of land if they refreshed just as the round ended. This should no longer be possible. Please post here if you experience this behavior in the future.

https://www.earthempires.com/...remium-subscription-53784

Players can now earn Premium credits by playing the game. Each country will award up to 100 Premium credits during the daily awarding of bonuses if all of the following conditions are met:

1) The first half of the round has passed.
2) The country has acquired a modest amount of land.
3) The country hasn't lost too many turns.

Countries on the FFA server will award 7 credits and countries on other game servers will award 100 points.

The cost of one month of Premium has increased to 2400 credits and all existing credit balances have been scaled up by 160X to ensure no loss of value. All player accounts have also been awarded an additional 2400 credits. The general expectation is that a player will be able to earn enough credits to continue their Premium subscription if they actively play on at least two game servers.

In the future we will need to revisit our funding model for the game. It is possible that these credit bonuses will be scaled down or removed entirely. For now, you can earn Premium status by playing and enjoying the game.

Thank you for playing Earth Empires.

This was caused by a bug that should be fixed now.

He's banned because he requested that the moderators ban him. How lame is it to request a ban then attack the moderators for fulfilling the request? Why do you do weird stuff like this instead of just playing the game?

If a player asks you to post something on his behalf it's probably because they are forum banned. A non-banned player would simply post it himself.

Every experience that I've had with Dark Demon has been positive. He seems like a nice guy who cares about the game.

It's not a problem that I can solve by myself. When a post like that shows up there are four ways to deal with it:

1) Ignore it - this normalizes abuse towards the entire game staff and makes for a bad first impression to prospective players
2) Argue with the user and defend myself - waste of time and looks unprofessional
3) Delete the post - most of the time the user will just post it again more times (see the recent llaar spam)
4) Ban the user

I've been telling folks for over a year that they need to focus on playing the game instead of doing all of this weird stuff that is outside of the game. Now we're at the point where major alliance leaders honor and encourage these disgusting acts. I expect that things are going to get a lot worse in the short term.

Hi Suicidal,

That's pretty much how things already work? Here's an example AT post that got someone forum banned: https://www.earthempires.com/...e-talk/slag-53744#1055972

I'm glad that we're in agreement about this and thank you for your public support.

If you just play the damn game then you won't have any problems. That's the ee experience for the vast majority of the players. Some players who insist on doing weird stuff outside of the game do manage to earn bans.



You already said that you're quitting the game and you got like 25 complaining posts in a row. How is this fun for you? Are you trying to make everyone miserable here?

You and I both know that it's easy to avoid bans. You also know that making posts like this hurt the game that you love. I don't understand why you do it.

Fun fact: we're only 5 weeks into this round of Classic and we already have more harmful spy ops performed than during the entirety of last round.

Sure, Hessman123 used to engage in a lot of destructive behavior including targeting players as a group due to cross server grudges. His account was placed under military sanctions. He sent me a message years later asking to be removed from military sanctions. He said that he would try to netgain and wouldn't grief people anymore. He did well for a while but it seems like one bad round is all it took for him to go back on his word.

Just goes to show the futility of giving players N chances. It never goes any other way.

https://imgur.com/a/HxNFTgN

It is disappointing that the person who has been given the most special treatment out of anyone (you, in case that isn't clear) constantly complains and turns himself into a victim when the situation doesn't even involve him. Just give it a rest already. How is this even fun for you? Can't you just play the game?

I wouldn't recommend it.

The fix is still in progress.

15 credits have been awarded to all players who had premium active during the past 8 days.

The full details are on the GDI page. Let me know if anything is confusing.

"You may perform special attacks against a target that has performed two or more offensive actions against you that is within 25% and 400% of your networth.

You may perform harmful spy ops against a target that has performed two or more offensive actions against you without any networth restrictions."

Lions Gate (#70) performed 79 landgrabs last round. For 75 of those landgrabs, he got a successful info op within 15 minutes of attacking the target. Turmoil (#67) never got a successful info op within an hour of any grab by Lions Gate (#70). The cheating pattern that you are alleging (#67 was somehow performing spy ops on behalf of #70) is false. We don't delete player countries based on the opinion of an angry mob.

Time differences in the data below are in seconds. The spying and grabbing pattern is extremely typical.
