But most of your members don't have the knowledge to comment on decisions like that so i'd not waste time posting a thread about it. How does it damage your all explore netters? You have other people to retal for them, or they can likely get the jets if they really want it. Any landgrab period will not be good for an all explorer. A week wouldnt be any more efficient to do 1 retal.
1. Most of them will want to get their land back
2. The decision of NA members was 100% against the 48 hour rule "enforced" by laf
3. It was no threat, I am stating the facts. You cannot "enforce" anything on anyone. You have to have the majority to take a decision. NA (through me or anyone else) didn't make a threat, just delivered its stand on this matter, but laf when it made this decision like that, threatened anyone: "We enforce something, whatever (could have been buying 1 troop off the market) and you, the plebe, have to obey because we're the big bad wolf." Dude...lessons in politics are learned in a hard way. If the phrase had the turn "What do you guys think? Wouldn't it be better if... whatever, something (don't care really)" you might have obtained the majority of the votes, but since you put it this way... ;) I think you guys are stating the fact that you are ready to go to war for this and need a reason.
We will respect our memberships' opinions and if a retal might happen over a 48 hour period, meh...I guess you guys would have to take then a decision. Our stands:
0 - 48 hours in which the member takes his own retal
48-72 hours in which anyone else in NA can take the retal for that country.
