I wonder if you guys know the answer for this problem:

Problem:
There are two kinds of coins, genuine and counterfeit. A genuine coin weighs X grams and a counterfeit coin weighs X+delta grams, where X is a positive integer and delta is a non-zero real number strictly between -5 and +5. You are presented with 13 piles of 4 coins each. All of the coins are genuine, except for one pile, in which all 4 coins are counterfeit. You are given a precise scale (say, a digital scale capable of displaying any real number). You are to determine three things: X, delta, and which pile contains the counterfeit coins. But you're only allowed to use the scale twice!

Attack once every 30 mins and you go faster. :)
The bad thing about this game is that so many people are spending their money for Gems. lol

And then Rage hitting PDM....well I guess when you are unpacted with 6-7 alliances, all of whom were war prepping, there's no clear choice to to hit.

They decided to do that to have an escape goat. lol
They know what was coming.

Factor in the lag you receive from those notifications. lol
It's pretty hard to wall using mobile.
QZ's mobile version of earth is also very not friendly for smaller screens.
Buttons are too close to some links (e.g. Refresh military to Attack button).

There should be more space between Bushels and Make Purchases button in PM.
This sucks when playing in a mobile phone with smaller screen.
I often accidentally click the "Bushels" after touching my screen to click the "Make Purchases" button.
And who the hell would want to buy all the bushels in PM anyway?

It just occurred to me that in a roundabout way, my screwing up my destock may have caused this war. :P

Yes this is Osso's fault. lol

No. He didn't violate any game rules.

Not liking the method that someone got the number 1 spot (within the game rules) is a different argument.

I'm still somewhat confused by how on an alliance server certain folks think netting should be an individual effort under the umbrella of tag protection and how any group effort/help is somehow cheating.

Well we have all different principles. But yeah, this is an alliance server and everyone should work hand in hand in everything they want. But MD have also a choice not to agree with it, thus the war.

This is MD. What do you expect? At least we don't duck great fighters like Mayweather do.

Your mistake is your mistake, deal with it. Not to mention you got FA BEFORE you rasped your destock. Therefore you intended to cheat before you even messed up your destock.

You will have to tear down that #1 banner once the war is over like a Calapari Final Four appearance banner.

Got love for you Vincey, but business is business...

-MD FA

I think he said he didn't Rasped (lol is Rasp from Evo?) his destock.
Hey the top 2 guy was FAd too. Without the FA, Vince would make it anyway.

If you think you could get away next set because of the moderation, then think again.
Though planning takes more time, the moderation will not stop that at all.

The problem is that the solution given has loop holes and could just make the problem worst.
I agree that the gangbang FS should be prohibited but not the counter-attack.
FS is still too powerful and blind-FS could kill the opposing team with no sweat (unless you really suck at warring).
Well, I don't mind demonstrating it next set if the mods won't listen.

Multiple tags hitting in FS on a single tag should be banned but other Team helping their friends should not be banned. Imagine this, TSO creating 4 tags. Each of them FS a netting Team. No team can help since it's against the rules so it would be obvious that those netting tags will be killed in no time. TSO got bored and FS again another 4 netting tags. They can do that since a Team can hit multiple Teams. So in this case, a TSO Team can ruin 2 netting Teams within a set. And my personal opinion, restart changes can't help.
(sorry for using TSO as an example)

This is actually pretty bad. FS is still powerful in this game and even though this is a team server, politics should still work for FDPs.
I do hate TSOs random killings but, this would also back-fire to netting tags.
