that's right -

Think you know how to grab? Then prove it !

RAGEnELY is announcing a Land War contest. Anyone is welcome and encouraged to play.

here is how it goes -

categories are -

total land gained / avg land gained

total nw / avg nw

war starts week 3 - ends 1 week before set end ( time to destock )

tags with a "g" after it is fair game. ie pdm-g

allow all forms of attack but no gs/br/ab , spies and missiles fair game.

tags must be declared 3 days before the start of war.

top winner in each category will receive 500 mil bushles from the top loser in each category, tags must agree to this when thy sign on. payable 2 weeks before the end of next set.

top bragging rites to individuals with most land gained and biggest grab of the war.

PDM has already said they will play - join us.

It does not have to be a whole tag either - say 5 from evo think they can grab - join a tag called evo-g .



post up here :D

Interesting but alot of water needs to flow under the bridge before it can happen properly.

i.e. enforcement of the prize paying.

oh shoot - i wanted to take that out, it was a thought that didn't make sence, no payments made out, maybe in the future but as you said we need to try this out first.

sry

I posted this insite,so..NO PAYMENTS?
[edit below]
Just want to be straight on this.

Is this gonna be like a giant free for all? Lets say Ra-ge, PDM-g, Evo-g, NA-g and iMa-g join, is everyone in the 5 clans automatically fair game?

Why would missiles be allowed but not special attacks?

/me yawns.

yes to the giant free for all - everyone is fair game that are marked with a G after their clan.
This will not void or change any pacts between the clans. if evo is pacted to NA and EVO -g hits NA-g then all is good, but if EVO-G hits NA, then NA can take their retails as they see fit.

Missles will not be used - the idea is not to kill and missles could do that so good idea no missles.

too lazy to edit

the purpose of another tag is what exactly? this makes no sense

I think the purpose of the g tag is so members who want to just all explore in peace don't get involved.

because some in the tag may not want to be part of it

not g-tag=netters

g-tag=warrers

I see this deteriorating pretty quickly. When 3-4 of the tags gang-rape one tag, we'll see how fun it is.

If its a landgrab contest, why would you want to use missles or special attacks anyway ?

I wouldn't. I was using the juxtaposition of something banned with something not banned, but very similar, to show that they should both be banned.

yes to both being banned

so besides PDM who else is interested?

and i thought the nw in the end was impt. because it is a skill on how much to grab and when to stock.

What if someone goes on a grabbing spree, buys up defense and then tag jumps? Is this something that once you're in you can never leave?

Come on iMagNum, sign up for this!

it is not going to be perfect, this is the first time in years that someone just did a land war so for a lot of us this is a new thing. I am sure it will have a few bugs.

as far as the tag jumpers - if they tried that they will be smelling burnt bodies and destroyed buildings.

This idea came out of the RAGE camp - and you know they arn't scccared to kill.

just like when E2025 ended and EE began we were afraid of change, omg what will it be like well we turned out just fine, better in fact so don't be afraid to try this.

Sure the people that have all day to wait on a target will do a bit better, but it will be different because sure a target may be in dr, but as they attack they come out so there will be more targets with some nice returns then you may think.

oh and to keep out non players if someone outside attacks a game country then they get what the defending clan wants to give them.

Can you explain that a bit? Are you saying you wont do standard retals if an outsider grabs you? So basically you are making a coalition of g clans that will trade land and prevent anyone from grabbing it?

Or did I misunderstood you?

I would understand that to mean that each clan is on it's own to do retals per their policy.I dunno tho.

I am sure standard retals are applied to outsiders. This wouldn't be landtrading because there is no equity involved - people (clans) are in it for themselves. Growth of ghost acres will almost certainly come out of it. It basically seems like a way to actually land grab in this game like I suspect was originally intended, without it breaking down into war like would happen if someone grabbed you a bunch ordinarily. I think it sounds like a great thing to try.

You really dont want me to participate in a land grabbing contest.

That's funny fluff right there.

fatman: you can if you tagup on some g-tag.

yes to snawdog's thinking. per their policy
I am not trying to make this a policy thing really, just a grabbing contest. it could be policed if needed i guess, like other wars.

It is a skill that needs to be tested and measured for trolling purposes.

sounds like fun, GL with this guys. Unfortunately I can't compete this set, EVO is a bit too small these days to be breaking into groups for side competitions=)

Work with PDM on this?

Detmer you are 1000% right:



You know Rage loves a good killing war, but this seems a little more challenge. Not just a race to get your restarts into the fight, but you have to show comprehensive game skills. You have to continue growing your country and end strong. Much more difficult than just pouring on the BR's to pound the current target.

Some notes:

Outside landgrabs: Every tag with a -g should get a war-DNH from other clans, just as if they were in a killing war. And the non-g members should be willing to police any violations if the country in war doesnt want to take their own acres back. And a clan could arrange for someone to police for them if the violator is too large/defended to be worth the grab or if they just need to be killed.

Special Attacks / Spy Ops: No missles or special attacks are allowed. They do not contribute to the purpose of gaining acres for yourself - they are just destructive to the enemy. The same would go for purely destructive spy ops like bombing things, stir rebellions or bioterrorism. HOWEVER the constructive use of some spy ops - like demoralize, espionage, dissention and the raids - can help you make a landgrab or gain resources to grow your country and should be allowed.

So can we show success in netgaining by warfare? It will make the game a whole lot more fun if we can!

It was worth hanging about for years just to see G.O pop his AT cherry.

Congrats son, you're now a man.

Indeed

eh, I used to post all the time, back on the 2025 AT.

but I had to post about this because the landgrab war is a really good idea -- it should be fun and can change the game!!

so you say...

In all my time, I cannot recall you posting here

For this to have any merit there would need to be an expiration date, other wise it'll be a constant trading of land with no one person being able to stock for the fear of getting hit.

It does end 1 week before end of set.

yup 1 week to destock what anyone may have.
and thanks to PDM and others that plan on trying this, i'm sure it will not be perfect, but what war is ?

nice finish last set charles -

looks like LAF wants to join in on this sweeet

zing GO.

LaF certainly wants to join but didn't work out the tags with a -g in it. Or simply assumed the G in RAGE counted or something.

yeah g in ragenely must have confused them. :P

heh 6 grabs in 72 hours and you complain about farming....

just because i farm much more consistently and more violently myself in team server....:p

All from the same member. I'm guessing you?

dude if i played, id be 40k by now... and you would of had 40 grabs on you by one country.

normally 4-5 hits inside 72 hrs is kill or farm-status.

normally people respond to grabing issues with contacting an fr rather than complaining on forums and retaling retals...

we did and we tried to prevent this too.
