Is it though? Sanction is just a fancy word for ban, you will be punished for farming players, that's what I'm reading into all of this, as I said before, eliminate the ability to farm players, make the server like coop and change the description of the game 🤷

Why would you say that kingme? There are only 18 players this round. 2 people playing with sanction rules. And anyone else that acts out is to be sanctioned right away.

You literally have full clearance to play with 0 turrets. It’s only Ratski that you need to worry about now

No where did I complain. I made fun of catty for acting tough and waiting till the end to retal when land is pointless for him and his retal required a 14m PS

PS, i have absolute power / clearance to wreck anyone who spies or land grabs me as if I were under the sanctions game mechanics so go right ahead and try me.....

We have had wars in the past and the last one ended the same way this one would have. Superflizzle was checkmated fair and square, he knows it and I know it.


Expect a long extremely dishonest post where he lies and tells you how he really had that country twice his size right where he wanted it! He’ll get ‘em next time!

Sounds like we got a butt hurt nooblet female doggy here.

Thanks for the land big dog, see you
next time loser. Break gdi if you want
to get wrecked I’ll be happy to
oblige.

as long as you hit Cathankins the netters will rejoice!

...some noob comes to play and he hits you cuz he knows no better and you guys pounce him like a cancer bullying him out of the game...

I think you've confused your EE and OF accounts...

Next round we're going to start placing the truly egregious offenders into military sanctions.

Data on SuperFly grabbing versus other players in coop. Apparently grabbing is so easy in coop that he's demonstrably terrible compared to the rest of the server. This grabbing ineptitude has helped him consistently finish in the bottom quartile of human players on final networth. SF saying he is a top netter is like saying that Cal Ripken was one of the best batters of all time just because Ripken is in the top 5 of number of at bats and therefore has one of the highest hit totals ever: but his batting average isn't even in the top 500 all time. Basically, SuperFly in EE gets the equivalent of the perfect attendance award in grade school. He also sucks at being a bully - from the looks of this grabbing spree and his country status you would be forgiven for thinking that he doesn't know anything about the game.

I don’t want to play on a bot server. I enjoy the wars and I enjoy admiring war countries and seeing who wins. It’s s part of the game that I like I just don’t think you guys should grief players. There’s zero reason netters shouldn’t be able to net and you guys can’t war on the same server.

Yes 76 at least knew what they were doing, 74 was an absolute clown.

How do you figure I was able to recognize these two countries were related to each other prior to the set ending?

The other player also recognized this group as well. They do this on a regular basis, as soon as you get into it with one of them the other starts spying or attacking you.

KoH, myself, and the other player attacked and spied by them this set recognized them by this routine.

I’m willing to bet if you ask the userbase how many times they have had this happens it’s been a lot. I’ve lost count of the times it’s happened to me.

Farmed again , Ha Ha Ha, and still didn't kill me, I was not the one who broke GDI.

I would also like a time of day change of us non-US folks. It's challenging to wake up at the crack of dawn to only have 3 hours to finish the set. I know you guys think you are the centre of the earth, but hey, blow me.

Nice.

Btw,. I like the new change with 0 day downtime. GJ.

Yup. I noticed; but, I'm sure you noticed the amount of oil consumed isn't as great as many here think.

I see you played oiler kingme.

How'd it go? lol.

@slagpit

casher is 4th?

He took a roundabout way to answer my question. He could have just said "very" and moved on.

Celphi, I see at least part of the problem. You're implicitly insisting that every strat should have an equal chance to win - i.e., that "balance" between the strats is somehow optimal for fun or enjoyment. That is categorically incorrect. The best games never have perfect balance.

Look at video games - Hades won everybody's GOTY in 2020. It has 24 weapon aspect options and modular difficulty from 0-64. The weapons are not equally optimal to maximize the difficulty, or for speedrunning. Some are just better than others. And that's a single player game. Nobody would argue that every role/strat is equally effective in COD or Minecraft either.

Look at TTRPGs. D&D has been around for 50 years and a slew of editions now, and it has never once been "balanced." Wizards are always OP. And yet, it remains the world's most popular RPG.

Look at board games. In the modern board game scene, there are too many to look at. Take a popular one like Splendor. Perfect balance in a vacuum - but as soon as you lay out the board and see what nobles and cards are available, it's completely unbalanced, and it's a race to capitalize on scarcity. Take Arcs, the spaceship game. Unbalanced out of the gate (pun intended because I'm not a coward) due to the layout, and even more so if you use the advanced rules. The Dune board game, which has been popular since the 70s, gives each player *different victory conditions.*

In summation, your basic premise (that the strats must be balanced perfectly) is intrinsically flawed, as games with perfect balance are actually boring.

Oh snap, is Gerd still around?

I would have higher than 4th if i didnt have to sell my food at $26.

I didn't know there was a change to the way adding stock bushels to market. I used to always do $400 bushels.
