It's free and it doesn't do anything. Why put everyone in it? Just change it so humanitarians intervene if you hit someone half/twice your size, because that's all it does. This would actually be changing nothing except dropping the G off everyone's scores.

LOL. You are right.

Because this was an easy fix for them... The other solution prob involves some coding changes that were larger than just forcing everyone into GDI! They could prob just hide that column on the scores list if you'd like :p

It was easier to code everyone into GDI as opposed to coding everyone out of GDI?

Seems like the easiest fix would have been just disabling GDI.

And of course, tournament is rough and tumble with no offsite stats, no 1-tap protection, etc. No GDI would fit the theme

No my guess was that it is easier to turn GDI on vs. changing the humanitarians.

I do agree though, no GDI in tournament, and leave the humanitarians the same as the other solo servers.

Changing the humanitarians should be exceedingly easy... it's just one number in the code to change.

you can't change the humanitarians w/o affecting the game because you're still allowed to declare war on countries less than half/more than 2x your size. imo, gdi should be removed and humanitarians should be set to at least 4x.

i'm wondering why tourney is set the way it is now, it really discourages grabbing

Hmm... I'm not so sure it "really" discourages grabbing... 2 hits, i can accept. 3 or more is not on. Gogy, if you're reading this, do not touch me again.

"Your military lost:
Nothing!"

I think the main issue was there lol!

yes... had #46 hit me 2 times i wouldn't have bothered ruining his set.

i accept that getting to 1800 acres without military was a risk but i hadn't expected some numbnuts to grab me 5 times. he managed to get to 7.5k acres a few days ago... now he's at 3.7k with no chance of recovery and i'm at 8.2k. chances i make it back into game a are slim but at least he's not going to be there.
