lol @ pp recruiting another full team for tso...

lmao i said the same thing in a pm

Quoted myself instead of editing my mistake

Posted by kalick on another post thought this should have its own topic.



There has been alot of talk recently about spirit of team server and how to enforce it. It is would realy not be that hard of a fix imo (If it is the majority of the server wants to)
We could try it next set if enough people are interested.

(Everyone could even keep their team/clan sights that they have now they would only act as a social center for friends/allies.)

How it could work assuming (TSO is on board).

We create a boxcar site for "sprit of team" all people/teams interested can join no country numbers or EE API Key's will be entered.
This will act as a central hub for kill runs against teams not in support of "spirit of team" and for FA matters between participating tags.

All tags have independent names no themes allowed any 2 or more tags with the same theme are killed out of the gate.

We create and enforce a basic kill policy / Grab policy server wide.

I.E (Rough draft and would need work)

A Tag is defined as a group of 3-5 countries that are actively playing turns.

Fail to meet the minimum of 3 active members and you will be considered untagged and have no courtesies extended to you.

Be found guilty of exceeding the maximum of 5 active countries working together and you will be killed by the "spirit of team" coalition

Retals will be taken on a Tag:Tag only unless a police hit is authorized at a time of war.

Kill runs will be done Tag:Tag basis only with exceptions.
1. A multi tag war is prearranged (prearranged wars may consist of any number of tags of agreed upon by participating parties. Allies may not be called in.)
2. 2 or more teams are not abiding by the "spirit of team" rules.
3. If a tag is FSed they are allowed to call in 1 ally tag. If the defending tag calls in 1 ally the attacking Tag will be extended the same privilege. No More than 1 ally tag per side may be called under any circumstance.

A Tag will not Landgrab another tag if that tag has been the subject of 3 or more grabs in a 48 hour period from a combination of 2 or more separate tags until 24 hours after last hit.

Example 1:
Tag A farms Tag B 5 times
At this time Tag B is open for grabs to all members of Tag A and All Members from Tag C-Z
Now a member from Tag C Farms Tag B 5 times
At this time Tag B is open to land grabs from all members of Tag A and the single member from Tag C that farmed them.
Tag D-Z must wait 24 hours after last hit to grab.

Example 2:
A member of Tag A grabs Tag D 1 time
A member of Tag B grabs Tag D 1 time
A Member of Tag C grabs Tag D 1 time
All above hits were in a 48 hour period
At this time Tag D is only open to grabs from the individual members of Tag A,B,C that did the grabs
All other members of Tag A,B,C and all members of tags E-Z must wait 24 hours after last hit.

The short version if a Tag is being farmed by another Tag or has been the subject of 3 grabs in 48 hours from separate Tags stay away from them for 24 hours.

Any violations of above will be brought to attention of "the spirit of team" coalition. Mistakes do happen and will be addressed accordingly. Repeat offenders will be killed.

All individual tags are encouraged to enforce any retal/kill policy they choice, as long as it does not interfere with the rules outlined above.
I.E L: L 1:1 1: kill is at the discretion of individual tag but it may only be enforced by that individual tag.

In closing
There are enough blood thirsty people here that can enforce all the initial killing. Netters would only need to follow the rules and not have to worry about the random killing that will happen at first.

Thoughts?

some people never learn...

The reasons we are there? What are the reasons we are there? Do you know? Were you blessed with this knowledge while watching the news or surfing the internet?

And as for my reasons… when I join the military at 17 years old I might have had idealist reasons for doing so but now almost 14 years later the only reason I am still in is to support my family, being it’s the only thing I know and there is not a very lucrative market in the civilian sector for what I do. If you think anyone who has seen combat cares about some politicians reasons for invading a foreign country you are sadly very naïve.

I have had the unfortunate pleasure to have spent most of my adult life in the fluffholes you are so valiantly defending and let me tell you there are no innocents in war you learn that the 1st time you are shot at 10 year old child with an ak-47 or a mother with an infant in her arms begging for help and food from these "soldiers" blows herself and her baby up just to kill some of these “soldiers” that you have such distain for. The next time leave your family and loved ones and come with me to go defend your country for these "reasons" that you speak of and you see what its really like. Then you can judge me until then keep you righteous bullfluff to yourself because you have no idea what you would do.

One more thing

I already told you my reasons for being in so when someone tries to blow my head off and they fail that is pretty fluffing satisfying being it means I get to return to my family which happen to be the only reason I do what I do in the first place.




If you are referring to me see above.




That sentence basically sums up the opinions of most people who are "outraged" and "shocked" this type of behavior. All the people who preaching to respect all human life equally.... But behind all the self-righteousness deep down you consider them less human then us… modern day barbarian’s that should not be held to the same standards as our own because that kind of thing is "expected of them".

I personally have never pissed on an enemy’s corpse and do not condone doing it but if whatever they did in life was so monstrous that it warranted their body to be desecrated in death then I would not rule it out.

Let me pose this question to all of you. its abit off topic but it will serve for my point.

If someone raped and killed your wife and children, then tried to kill you but failed and instead you killed them. Would you want his body to be “respected” so that his friends that believed that he was right in what he did to your family can honor his memory?

Pain and MrCharcoal you views represent that of what any true American who has not been there themselves should be. You have the same views as my own but are less passionate about them which is understandable because you have no experiences of your own to compare them to.

But what do I know… I should be happy to leave my family and put my life in harm’s way and fight because some politician thinks it’s his responsibility to spread Democracy to a foreign nation that hates the ideals behind Democracy itself. If that’s not bad enough let me tie one hand behind my back with restrictive ROE that aims at minimizing “civilian casualties” so that the people who are burning the flag in protest of the war (that the “soldiers” themselves don’t support) don’t get upset and start to hate America more than they already do and elect someone who will actually get us the fluff out of the middle east and leave them to their own self destruction.

You missed the point... It is war and they are the enemy it doesn’t matter how or why they became the enemy the simple fact is that they are the ENEMY AND THEY ARE TRYING TO KILL YOU.

A few truths of war:
-No unit successful in combat cares about public opinion.
-No unit who cares about public opinion is successful in combat
-There is nothing more satisfying that having someone take a shot at you, and miss...
-When in a fire fight, kill as many as you can, the one you miss may not miss tomorrow.
-You're only better than your enemy if you kill him first...Shoot first and then swear up and down that you saw them pull out a grenade.
-Anything you can do to draw the enemy out of hiding and make reckless decisions will make them easier to kill.
-More dead enemies = less dead friends.

Bottom line is if you were not there with them you have no right to judge them. Combat stress, fear, and having a friend die in your arms will cause you to do things that you normally would not do nor be proud under normal circumstances.

America was the "best" country but the weak liberal sympathetic mindset of most Americans today is rapidly changing that. You are right tho we should not shoot terrorists and piss on their corpses... we should show them the same mercy that we showed Japan in ww2. The thought that people have sympathy for an ENEMY who would gladly rape, torture and kill your child, mother and grandmother on video to further their agenda is sickening. It is WAR… the enemy is not abiding by the Geneva Convention and have no ROE therefore should not be afforded the protection of them. In my book the only thing those Marines did wrong is video tape it, taking pictures or videos of sensitive material is not authorized and they should be held accountable under the UCMJ.

Policies on team server are (and have always been) whatever you can enforce that’s what makes it fun. It is also why xmx got tag killed (again).

Root Cause: Multiple countries in xMx decide they were strong enough to enforce their ROR’s and multitaps.

Root Cause Analysis: They were wrong…

Effect: xMx was tag killed.

If TSO didn’t do it someone else would have… Monks and DBD were the subject of most of said multitaps and ROR’s and I am sure would have not had a problem joining their strength to kill you if TSO hadn’t so very kindly done it.

they are roring like its the right thing to do...

same as above

congrats to all who made t10

well it was fun even if i am on my 4th restart :P

have fun

I saw that, was wondering who forgot to destock

FYI: This thread has nothing to do with DBD what so ever, neither of the parties involved are affiliated with DBD in any way.

...Your man crush on DBD is starting to mess with your mind.

concur come join DBD

Let’s look at the facts shall we?
Fact, MKR is a self proclaimed “warring tag” that will “deal with retals as they see fit”(refer to http://forums.earthempires.com/SeePost.php?postid=196256 if unclear as to what I am talking about.)
Fact, MKR had 2 teams last set.
Fact, there are no MKR teams this set.
Fact, the last 2 sets that MKR wasn’t killed they caused DBD problems.
Fact, Wu-Tang is named after Wu-Tang Clan.
Fact, W T C are the first letters of each syllable of Wu-Tang Clan.
Fact, Wu-Tang caused DBD problems.

Now let’s take the facts and apply a small amount of deductive reasoning.
WTC also stands for Wu-Tang Clan.
Wu-Tangs 2 teams are really MKR hiding under false tags.
MKR plans on causing DBD grief again.

That’s not a very far stretch. Anyone think otherwise?

Your better off messaging slab here on the forums, This could be why they get killed off all the time ... its faster to kill them then got hold of their FA :P

*Double post*

I think they are all running land farms to help us all get fat. They realized that most of the major teams are tiring to net this set and are offering up their land to anyone who wants it, so nobody gets in each other’s way.
Very nice of them IMO.

Concur FBI/WoG are best for ensuring other teams with unfair policies are eliminated and fostering a family friendly environment on the server and forums.

We farmed and killed the beer guy after his ror what medicine would you be refering to?

You forget this one

4. Dont topfeed us and expect us not to take ALL our land back

I farm while offering helpful advice, on how to improve their country. I get land they don’t get turned off to ee its win win

WAR!

That’s not fair LS does some of the finest FA work that I have ever seen over on team server. There is none better .

Vote LS for king!

$88 JETS and $97 turrets are you kidding. There are not that many Indys out there for god sakes. We could easily hold the price @ 130-150 for both... STOP undercutting.

Pontius are you on a team this set? I thought your MO was to play untagged and AB unsuspecting netters with a rainbow tank heavy country in your own form of cross server justice.

Shouldn’t you be trying to figure out what team’s sanct members play on in team server and suiciding on them for taking part in an unfair war on alliance server?

I do believe that was your reasoning for AB'ed my alliance country this set... the bad deeds of WoG/FBI on team server.

What team did you say you were speaking on behalf of again?
