Currently you can delete right after attacking but, this seems to be a major exploit. Just think if you unloaded completely on land trading alliance members grabbed a few 100k acres and then self delete. NO one could even attempt to get the land back. Right now its being used to attack and then disappear in team server. Think more discussion and thoughts on this subject need to be discussed. Technically you can't just grab land and then drop that same land? So, why should you be able to attack then just self delete.

suggested before but qz didn't add it.

if you can't get the game fixed then just don't give anyone a reason to grudge and suicide?

like some suicider needs reason.

Self Deletion:
- You must now wait 72 hours after attacking before you are allowed to self-delete your country.

This was a problem in 2013 when the announced change did not work and a SoF player self deleted after attacking Sodawater. That is ultimately what led to conflict and Soda's epic walling record.

The last I heard about it was this:

let me look into it and get back to you. He should not have been able to self-delete.

Any word? was this an announced change that was never implemented?

Zarcon is rather confused about it. Waiting for QZ to get home so he can look into it.

Hi martian.
I hear that the bug has been found, fixed, and tested to verify. True?

It has been fixed in the sense that one cannot self delete immediately after making an attack

ok :P

immediately and immediately

is it 7 mins or 7 hrs or 72 hrs.

From the majority of players on TEAM server., it's not an issue. They prefer the suicider to self-delete so as to not use more turns on a suiciding player.

I'm pro kill yourself

It's win/lose.. you don't have to use turns.. but you can't get revenge...
