It's mostly pointless to attempt anyway because there's lots of other more cost-efficient land out there because there's no alliance politics.

No trading.

may I ask why there is no trading? I mean, it's better to be hit by someone you can legitmately retal against. It's not like setting up agreements to buy $21 oil or what not. Why is it considered cheating?

maybe you are confused. land trading normally consists of 2, or even a group of, people working out a nice pattern to continually LG each other to maximise land returns.

it can't be hard to find someone in this server that can likely retal you that will provide good gains from the ONE grab. if you take that a step further to more than one grab, it's likely the other person will just flatten you anyway.

exactly, why landgrab if you will just get AB'd? you can get potentially better returns from grabbing than exploring. so why is this?

coordination on this server is a deletable offense.

if you organise land trading patterns, then it makes it significantly unfair for everyone else. and gives rise to problems like if your lg partner puts you into dr after you grab someone else in the game. etc.

Riddler, most people stick to one LG. if you join GDI, you cant be ab, br, gs, missile, etc unless you hit LG a country more than once. otherwise all they can do is LG you back and a few spyops.

Landtrading is fluffing awful in Express because of the short turn limit, smaller land size and Dict sucking ass.

Also the new DR system means bottomfeeding is redonk as well as successfully pulled of mid-feeds.

lol at these two guys:
2014-02-28 21:52:06 PS datacore (#130) C A N A D A (#95) 877A (1103A)
2014-02-28 20:30:16 PS C A N A D A (#95) datacore (#130) 1032A (1406A)

2014-02-28 17:54:29 PS C A N A D A (#95) datacore (#130) 969A (1319A)
2014-02-28 15:42:40 PS datacore (#130) C A N A D A (#95) 543A (775A)
2014-02-28 15:42:26 PS datacore (#130) C A N A D A (#95) 644A (941A)
2014-02-28 15:36:35 PS C A N A D A (#95) datacore (#130) 708A (992A)

datacore gained 3773 acres, lost 2709, for a profit of 1064 acres only while losing countless jets/turrets, money spent rebuilding, etc.

CANADA gained 3717 acres, lost 2800, for a profit of 917 acres only.

anyone else could gain 1000 acres in 2-3 attacks. that is why you dont land trade on express.

also these guys got deleted, presumably for doing this very costly and pointless activity

Well they may just have been sparring a bit because they weren't ready or willing yet to fully commit to war. Not sure people would really do organized landtrading so unprofitable.

That makes no sense, Riddler. I make a judgement call based on the evidence. Players are allowed to appeal the decisions. After looking into it with the help of Zarcon to double check their story, I decided he was telling the truth and it wasn't coordination.

If you want, I could just ban you and then convince qz to remove the appeal system? Then you'd just have to suck it up, huh?

Whatever. I asked a question on what land trading was considered. Then you tell me its a deletable offense. Why delete them instead of viewing evidence first? Either way it's said and done. I love being trolled by a mod

the reason why you got trolled is because more than one person told you that it's a no good deal and you kept on saying why is it not a good deal.

I wouldn't mind being deleted undeleted every 2 hours as long as I gain turns while im deleted, sounds like an awesome way to outrun retals

<~qzjul> it gives you a good introduction to orbital mechanics and a good appreciation for how central delta-V is and thrust to weight ratio
<RaTSFYA>The only thrust to weight ratio I'm worried about involves the women I pick up at bars

I asked a question once, using reasoning from other servers, but then I realized why it wasn't. I got trolled because I thought it was a stupid idea to delete someone just to reinstate them. Just do the work before hand...meh, no matter, It's a new round...I'm done here with this thread, let it die already

Ah, I see. So I wasn't bothering to investigate before I deleted? I'm glad you cleared that up for me...

If you had bothered to read my response to your sarcastic and patronizing comment, you'd see that I deleted based on the evidence, and then reviewed their appeal with the help of zarcon, and we decided it was not as it had appeared to be.

I also like that one player's opinion - and a very succinct one at that, to the point where it was almost off-the-cuff throw away commentary - warranted direct attention from a moderator who had to take the time to offer a rebuttal over numerous posts.

And, Monsters, do not forget to specify, when time and place shall serve, that I am an ass.
