Ok so it sounds like this has been sent to the admins and is probably just a low priority item. I'm moving this to FFAT but I feel like multiple threads aren't necessary

This isn't a bug, correct? And I dont think I quite understand the specific request here.

It happens with original creation too. Players in FFA have been found to occasionally have an additional 16 countries, but I can't recall if that has the opposite effect on the restart bonus. You may end up with the next country in line as if it was brand new rather than your restart.

I don't disagree with that. To me, reset is a counting term in that example. "Who won last reset?" seems fine. This specific ingame statement mentioned in the OP makes me think the game is in a state of resetting for 60 days. Alliance game server is set to reset on June 11th. But saying "the reset set to reset on 6/11" seems odd. Or has the Alliance game server been resetting since it started on April 13th? Then we could say "the current reset is resetting and will completely reset on 6/11"
*shrug*

I'm sure other areas refer to it as a Reset as well; I'm too lazy to look, though.


It does.

You'll have to elaborate on "we". If you mean the game itself or Mehul, then you aren't recalling correctly... Which is probably fine given that it was around 12 years ago

Your cheating counterpart appears to be retalling simple grabs with harmful ops and missiles on more than 1 player in Tournament. When you make poor decisions to more than one player, then you're going to have to face the consequences from those same guys.

Around this time of the year I keep the tailgate generator fueled and close by for fridge, TV, cable/internet, laptop, and cell phone charger. I only have to unplug the TV or fridge to make coffee, which is absolutely necessary daily for me. But outage is rare - barely once a year.

Right now players are pretty openly creating them and using them for various reasons. I think you start with the ones you know and worry about it later because a verifiable exploitation of a hole in the mod tools is not a fair play.

Like honestly, it really shouldn't be this hard to get someone who openly and verifiably admitted to abusing it purpled, but I digress.


If someone wants to compile a list of proof and send it to me on discord rather than tarot card readings and trying to read between the lines of smack talk in irc/discord chats, I'll review it. Telling me one player account is also another without proof or justification is just not sufficient - especially when my initial search using traditional means did not show much.

I already said just a few posts earlier that my interpretation is that using multiple accounts is against the rules.

I'm not sure what else you're suggesting.

Perhaps you should take a look at the multiple accounts people have?

Players are only allowed to have one (1) game account.
One account provides full access to the game and creating multiple accounts is not permitted. In addition, players may not login to another player's account for any reason. Players violating these rules may suffer country deletions and account closures.


Your report was received. At present, I was not able to determine that multiple accounts are being used during the current round.

Yes, I've introduced a similar idea to the governments not too long ago on either a mod or dev board. I was told it's not a simple change due to the different levels of coding - although my suggestion went far beyond just the markets. Perhaps it would be worth the effort if it was meant more of a "re-equalization" rather than a routine rotation. Express would be the best area to implement or experiment with such changes. A new game server is unlikely.

I reviewed the ingame report. The person is a frequent visitor with Barney & Friends for various issues, including this specific M.O.

He's going to be given some time off from Tournament for a bit.

Let's stop dancing around the obvious and remember the rule to not personally attack players, especially with insults clearly intended to be vulgar, is not ok. Debating language and word origins are nitpick semantics to be purposefully obtuse.

I agree because this server has never lived up to its theme: 5v5 tags.


We tried to enforce that, remember?


I do remember, and I think that the game admins wouldn't have a problem with the spirit of the server again. The only problem is it's a mess to manage. Are you willing to put in the time to make it someway equitable and useful?


I'd certainly try. The issue wasnt just the really hard management of it. We brought it up for re-discussion to potentially add the spirit of the game back to this game server and nobody was interested. ...Or rather most werent interested. I dont have an opinion on it one way or another. Whatever the players and admins want with this is fine by me.
