it is time for those of us who play this server as an individual war game to invent a more accurate objective measure of the quality of a country's strategy and the execution of its strategy.
This measure should be called the WoR, Warrior of the Reset
Surely. others have tried and failed to invent such a measure but their failure should not deter us from the effort.
First we should endeavor to determine what factors must be considered in measuring the quality of a country's play.
I would suggest we assess the quality and quantity of the nation's land grabs including factors such as money food and research obtained in the strike. We should assess whether the hit was taken on a country that was likely to retal. Ideally we would measure the nation's use of spies but given the administrators' recent statements that spies are unfair and bad for he game perhaps we should not measure their utility. Since I believe that spies are a fun and important part of the game I would include their use. I strongly disagree with the idea that spies are unfair.
Given that this is the express server, a country should be penalized for hitting an LaE country where retal by three or four countries is virtually certain. Since we know that HOBO and his Netters Defense League will missile anyone who launches any ss or ps, there should be a penalty for being missiled.
So for this reset, which is about to start, I will award the WoR prize, (Warrior of the Reset) on the following basis:
NW x the country multiplier x number of successful ss x 1.5 number of successful ps x the military grade divided by 2x the number of failed lgs or if no failures 1 x the number of lost lgs x .3 of the number of lost Missile attacks x .20 the number of gs, ab, and br
country multipliers
H M 1
R D C 1.2
I 1.8
military grade considers acreage taken, date of attack and relevance of buildings captured
for example an ss on day one for thirty acres will not receive the same grade as an ss on sunday for 1200 acres.
an F who hits an F will get a higher grade than an F who hits an R whose captured buildings are not as useful
I am not yet certain how this will work so i would appreciae any reasonable comments.
the factors considered for this award should evolve with each reset and as we get more input
comments are welcome but pls keep them reasonable
if all u can do is call me names please post elsewhere

RESTRICT LaE to 80% of its cheat size
