We already have Dictatorship *and* Tyranny, and now Autocracy too? Why not Anarchy or Socialism?

Hmmm looks like Gerdler passed en4 in best 3. I guess the bomb was a complete failure then. :)

Extremely impressive sets from gerdy and tmac. Congrats MONSTERS on ANW win. Also congrats to en4 and the other guy who managed too 5 with restarts. Very solid.

I mean. I just dont want anyone to be confused about why I'm farming 100k acre countries and trying to time it when their stock is home.

It's always been a game of risk/reward, and I have a sneaking suspicion casual players wont make the mistake of hitting me back. You all have more sense than a robot.

also, am i the only one who thinks the word "cross-server" is a made up word

Got the first chapter of my thesis done?

I smoked a 15lb brisket and ate an Avocado. My life is exciting.

Could you change your name next set from TheBOMB to the LameDUCKS

5. Chevs/Real_Man getting deleted with ZEN/ChuckNorrisBeard in tournament for CHEATING by blatantly doing market transfers to win a solo server but still failing.

on a browser update recently backspace got disabled, which slows down land kills dramatically

never tried landkilling on a mobile browser but that might be a pain without the attack again button

I think Bomber had a 21B finish in FFA once.

So with that said, I can fully understand this change.

Maybe only slightly related, but I also think that if someone breaks GDI against you, you should be exempt from humanitarian rules (ie, you should always be allowed to get your revenge even if they jump up out of range). Even as netters should be protected from griefers, I don't think they should be able to exploit game mechanics to protect themselves from countries they farm.

Wait....it was a war????

When suiciders target me / my clan; I make their friends pay as to either 1: put pressure on them to stop or 2: make them feel bad about it and stop or 3: you cannot punish someone who doesnt care about their country so their friends must pay.

Thats my MO when suiciders hit me / my clan.

And as an added bonus in all three scenarios I win!

Wrong forum there bud :)

Also I was being sarcastic..

and you still get on your knees for trannies.. but who am I to pass judgement.

Players making choices about what it means to adequately defend their country improves the conflict aspect of the game and will hopefully result in a better functioning public market. Someone won the last set of Primary on 60k acres without GDI. If players can successfully avoid retals from other players then they can certainly avoid them from NPC countries, if they wish to do so.

LaF Let u in last reset if anybody had attacked you and were caught you would have tag protection right now. Making your own tag has its risks.

Yes so let's start with the basics, unfortunately government doesn't use logic.

If we are strictly talking cause and not prevention. That's a hard one.

We are a young country that was built on guns, freedom and democracy. We can be "compared" to other countries, but the fact is. We are unlike any country in history (this isn't a brag). So what may be a no brainer for Europe or Asia just isn't going to work here. Same with all issues we are dealing with. You get technology, population, and simplicities of life that have never happened to a young country like ours in a time like now.

I would think a behavioral investigation has been happening, but who knows if we can even trust an unbiased result. It is a social problem that is breeding social issues. Add to the fact that there are two camps and it is socially motivating to be a part of one of them. So you get pressures from both sides. Funding, political gains, scrutiny, publicly shamed, etc. It's a mess and even if we all believed it to be a single cause (I.E. its the guns fault - not enough or too many). I am not 100% sure if it will stop or decrease what is happening every year. Hopefully, either one would help. As a proud gun owner and supporter, I would go through more of a process or inconvenience if it meant it would prevent people losing their lives. What I won't do is go through more of a process or inconvenience for it to increase the number of incidents or a negative effect on me and no change in the current rate of incidents.

So looking at the solution is our best chance at preventing the cause. The only thing that every one agrees on is that the people committing these acts are scum of the earth and need to be stopped. It doesn't help either cause for it to continue.

Bad guys DON'T FOLLOW RULES.
