I haven't read much of this thread....

but I just want to state that reducing FS strength shouldn't be considered a pro-netting or anti-fighting thing; it would just change the equilibrium point and -- in my opinion -- make it more fun for everyone.

If less countries are killed in the FS, that means more players get to play with their original country, which I think we can all agree is a positive thing for a player's playing experience.

This isn't to protect a certain type of players, it's simply to allow for less reliance on getting an FS in to have a fun war for your alliance.

Don't war alliances want to have wars that are competitive for longer than 4 days? :p


I've played as a netter in some of the best more hardcore netting alliances (LaF, Genesis, NA) and the most hardcore fighting alliances (IX, SoL, SoF) and regardless of what alliance I was in, the most fun wars were always the ones on the old 1a server, where FS's were less powerful. :)
