This is absolutely amazing,

I believe it was the other party claiming I was other people I just went along with it, I knew you guys were reading my messages so I wanted to see whether it is worth it to play a country or not in future rounds

My assessment the first time I was deleted was correct, it’s not worth while to play this game if you can just get deleted by a happy finger mod who reads your in game messages, especially where you are simple responding to others and/or saying things that are completely unverifiable and irrelevant to the round, or to the countries within the round, etc. etc.

Well then I don’t know who I turned into a parking lot but it’s been fun.

We had a fun round, you were a triple tapper on me and I enjoyed sending AB’s at you but now I’m retiring from the game

SF is doing very well in his fight vs me

Oh snap I might have had a chance to win if I didn’t delete myself

Congrats to the winner and everyone else who completed the round

Good luck to all in future rounds

Maybe there should be an IQ test for Primary?

The worst people here are the folks who run a low effort Theo techer, with no intention of even finishing the round, simply so that they can harass anyone they think might be Gerdler with a throw away country.

Bonus

I am far too sarcastic of a person for text based communication :)

I get in trouble with my wife often for things I text to her and you’d think I would learn after ten years but I don’t

I think it’s obvious that it’s time to pack it in and retire the game all together

When you have moderators who decide to enforce the rules against certain players, while not applying the rules against other players, you don’t really have a game anymore, you’ve got a club.

No reason for deleting my country while at the same time giving another country a warning for committing a much more serious violation of the rules

Prime

First off, you’re admitted that the other player did swear at me in ingame messages, but you’re saying that you made a decision not to delete that player despite them committing a clear and obvious rules violation.

While at the same time, you’ve decided to delete my country, when you didn’t have too, for something that I said even though I didn’t harm or harass or swear at anyone.

Also let’s talk about my message to Cumorah. I logged in and saw that he had tried to spy on me for a grab, so I thought he would get a good laugh out of my message. I certainly didn’t think that he would read my message and go straight to the war room and attack glory bowl.

As any decent player knows, you choose your targets carefully and you make your own decisions. If Cumorah decided to spy on glory he would make that decision on his own accord and if he decided to make a land attack he would do that based on the spy report and not based on anything I said.

I think every player who’s ever finished in the top ten knows that another top player is not going to make grabs or take any ingame actions that they don’t want to take.

Also, since you decided to let another player break the rules and get away with it in regards to swearing, you could have very easily also allowed myself to continue playing despite my harmless message.

Here is something that can be debated

I think there needs to be a better process in place for deletions

There should be a warning message for a first offence as an example

At the very least there should be communication about what is happening and why

The appeal should actually get a response instead of a silent dismissal

I also don’t think something like this warrants a country deletion at all, that would be like if you got a tripping penalty in hockey and your team had to forfeit the game

I don’t have to wonder why this game is slowly dying with less than 100 players worldwide, the actions of the mods intentionally drive players away and make players feel unwelcome and not valued

Gerdler I would agree with your message 100% if there was an actual appeal process in place that was transparent and honest.

Also it would make sense if communication was made to the player about what is happening and why instead of just a silent deletion with no contact and no explanation

Feeling like you’ve been immediately dismissed without communication or explanation is what leads players to the forums for discussion

I would love to post the messages that I sent to my allies and allow others to have all the facts and decide for themselves, that would be great

Sadly there is no fairness or equal application of the rules in a game like this

According to the new rules you could be deleted for a post like this Cumorah, but don’t worry if you make death threats and swear at other players you’ll be just fine :)

Clown show

Also, just as an fyi for everyone out there

I reported a player for swearing at me in an ingame message and I see that he’s not been deleted.

Swearing in an ingame message is grounds for deletion according to the rules, however the rules were not applied in this case which is interesting

A few months ago I had a player sending me death threats and saying he was going to find me in real life and kill me and I reported that player and he was not deleted either

This shows a very inconsistent double standard where the rules are not applied when I am being harassed but on the flip side I get deleted for something that was not harassment, swearing or sharing info

Why would anyone continue to play a game where they are not treated justly and the rules are not applied fairly to all players

If I say, “hey I need you to hit x country, you can break with y amount of jets”

I thought that was a different thing than saying for example

“hey there is a reckless player and if I were you I would hit him before he hits you”

Or if I say to my defensive ally, “hey if I were you I’d hit x just based on the number of turrets you’ve lost defending me”

There is absolutely nothing that I said should have been grounds for deletion

There are players right now chatting with one another on discord who are sharing info and sharing spy ops, it happens every round and will continue to happen. There are players who play together in clans on other servers who work together on this server and share info, but I am not one of those players.

All that I did was point out a reckless player to my allies and say, “hey if I were you I’d hit him before he hits you”. I didn’t say, hey he’s all jets, or has x number of turrets or x number of spies. I didn’t say anything against the rules at all in my opinion, I actually checked the rules frequently and check the wording to make sure I am compliant in all that I do

There is nothing that I said that should have resulted in my country being deleted and anyone saying otherwise is a liar

I did not say anything that would even be considered remotely close to sharing info

So no, I won’t be back

Cumorah I don’t think I’ll play any future sets

Seems bogus that a country you spent time on every day for over a month can just get deleted without warning for something that is such a grey area

It’s not like I said, “hey guys, 10 mil jets breaks country number xyz”

I didn’t say anything that would cost anyone a turn to find out, I just presented strategic recommendations to my allies as well as someone who I caught spying me

I was planning on just cashing turns for a week and then preparing to smoke ya

Oh well

Your interpretation I suppose

I think what I did was message players to say “hey, watch out for the glory hole he’s attacking players and dropping the land, maybe go ahead and give him a grab before he gets ya.” It’s up to them if they do anything with that message, I didn’t give any country info or stats from spy ops that’s for sure

I thought I was deleted for calling the guy mister glory hole and that woulda been gay

I wonder why my country was deleted?

I don’t think I swore at anyone, I did have a guy swearing at me that I reported though

I AM A CAT 🐈 🐱 🐈‍⬛

The rainbow is biblical

🤣

How do you put emojis in your posts

At this point in the round you just have to look at the country that is 10k land ahead of everyone else and you’ll find him

There used to be other players that were as good but I don’t know where they all went, I remember Gerdler was good and some others as well

If he tries to stockpile it’ll starve the rest of us I think

Most expensive food set I think I’ve ever seen

2003 - “we should accept people who aren’t heteronormative”

2023 - “If you won’t bang a tranny, you’re a bigot”

“Just let us get married” turned into a whole lot more didn’t it?

See folks, when you give an inch they take a mile

I dunno about 73 but I do think the US has been doing it more recently in the Middle East

Last set we had a guy who just built rigs and a ton of countries farmed him

Can’t find oil, building rigs is not good for me but necessary when there’s no oil

Too bad there’s no PM oil

Tech is always super strong the first half of the round, once people get their land and tech levels up it always falls off and balances out

I think this might be the most expensive I’ve seen food this early, plus oil is also very expensive early, wish I went FFO this round instead of last

I don’t care about the toxicity or the grudges I just feel like sometimes I’m a little too invested in the game and could maybe use the time that I do spent playing the game in a different and better way

100%

With any luck, the next time the server goes down it will just stay down and not come back

This round needs more farmers it seems

I tried to name my country that but it’s already taken

4 and 14 still look like they have a chance?

Okay I guess I’ve gotta send more spy attacks and missiles then

I know not to play farmer again if I’ve learned nothing else

Play a rainbow it’s all the rage these days

Everyone loves a good rainbow

Uconn has been dominating teams as well

The final four matchup between those two should be a great game

Tanks and spies are both scarier than missiles imo

But having an efficient country that is able to gain networth and stay in range is likely more important

You’re not much of a deep thinker are you!

You’re the guy who decided he wanted to try swimming and went straight to jumping off a boat into the deep water in the ocean and expected to be able to swim right away without taking a few swimming lessons first

Yeah I definitely don’t have the capability to buy 1.5 bil worth of bushels. Hahaha

I don’t know if there was a run but I do know that I stopped selling on the public market for at least two days while I did spy attacks, sent missiles and AB’s I sold all mine on my PM
