How about if you were able to steal players turns and then be able to trade or sell them to other players?

trading turns has been suggested since dawn of time and always been shot down due it being stupid and exploitable and would totally unbalance game.

Patience: Yep, I'm with ELK and Marshal.

ELKronos: Patty is more hairy.

Gallery: K at least I am to my expectations now.

LadyGrizz boobies is fine

NOW3P: Morwen is a much harsher mistress than boredom....

to cosmo - any sort of turn trading would go right to the heart of the game, and i thnk would destabalize it into unplayability

on the other hand, a destructive spy op with modest turn destroying capabilities doesn't seem crazy to me, maybe something like one successful op destoys 1 turn. but it might be tricky to mantain game balance across the servers if the op works identically everywhere

i do think such a change would have outsized effects on the way hostilities are conducted on earth

1. its stupid and 2. would give unfair advantage to players buying turns like morons suiciding on solo servers or warring alliance/team fsing other tag.

Some men just want to watch the world burn

If you give a man some fire, he'll be warm for awhile. If you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Very unlikely we'd consider any way to sell/share/trade/steal turns.

Sorry!

An op to return a percentage of goods from the market would be cool

op gives 1% of goods on market and target has billions of bushels on market so spier could get even 100+ milliion bushels and even if sells at priv its still alot money and if spier is suicider then he manages to hit much bigger targets after finding 1 very juicy target.

No, you don't get any goods, that'd be dumb

op returns some % of goods on market to seller? if so then suiciders would love it.

That would utterly change stocking gameplay and create real reasons for wars beyond ppl being bored. I likes it.

Im sorry I was being goofy when I asked that ? I just felt like asking a really stupid . lol .. But seriously, after reading some responses, what if you spied a country and failed, your spies were captured and that country then got your info?

i think maybe the spy op "attack intelligence centers" aka "sabatoge intelligence” is a more proper op for a fail to result in a percentage of your spies going over to the target.

I also think market history should be viewable ..selling and purchase prices. The numbers and some NW`s just don't seem to add up in express. Unless your selling and buying at the very top and bottom extreme prices.

I didnt mean to imply that someone is cheating, I just didn't want to waste my time if there was an acceptable edge, like in ffa with self farming or aiding. Ill figure it out.

My personal frustration is when I click on Spy WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM GOING TO DO FIRST ?
How about Spy? Why I have to go hit a drop down menu, when it should be set at spy in the first place !
If the player wants to do other spy ops, then they an goto the drop down menu, to change It.
Same crap in the War room doing attacks, if you click on missile to launch a CM why the program makes you go to a drop down menu, when I all ready clicked on that CM, I just thinks kinda a simple Logic. Why EE can't fix this stupidity Who knows?

nostalgia ... this interface is a good copy of the game from 20 years ago ... i thnk many of the players want to keep it clunky and with all the gotchas that can come from fat fingers - operating the game interface IS part of the skill set
