Hi Thunder. Be careful of Boltar, he changes alliances like he empties beer bottles... often!

crazyserb how have you been!

This certainly doesn't help the situation. In fact, in my humble opinion it will hurt the untagged countries even more. I would ask respectfully that you do not pursue the above plan as it won't solve a thing... try my suggestions in the other thread.

That was 4 hits for Land... many hits during war!

bore,
I never made the argument that you stated. I simply asked why the first 237 hits were not retalled. I never said why didn't you retal them instead.

So please read my words carefully before making assumptions like you did.

Rockman: I am not arguing that you kill untagged for following rules, I already stated that when I ran SOL, untagged had the right to use the same rules that SOL would use against them. That was then. The problem now is that all the Alliances seem to farm All the untagged countries and if an Alliance doesn't do the same they are at a big dissadvantage... or so goes the argument.

I have probably made 4 hits the entire game, been in three wars and have gotten 17k acres mostly by exploring. Personally, I don't see the benefit of farming countries. But as long s ALL alliances are going to do it, you can't expect one not to.

Prima: I referred to contacting the FA in the beginning stages of your country, not waiting for a problem to develop. I would think that if you contacted them and asked there might be a chance to get a game long DNH from the first day of the reset. I know if someone contacted me and we talked, I would have been inclined to do so... and have on many occassions. Of course, I am not in leadership in SOL and it is not up to me, it is only a suggestion.

I am sure other alliances did too. Part of the Alliance game if you chose to go untagged... : (

I honestly can't explain the 393 hits after your "Retal". If you were on kill you wouldn't have lasted a day. My question was about the 237 hits prior to SOL hitting you that you chose not to retal.

Its the old argument of being fair verses being on an equal basis with the other alliances that farm the heck out of countries. I always went with fair and was always challenged on that!

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to respectfully reply to me and I hope I have given you some ideas in the future... although I really don't understand why in an Alliance Game you would chose to go untagged!

Join SOL and see how the members are. They really aren't all that bad!

Prima,
Thanks for the news. I did not go back far enough I guess. Still doesn't answer my question as to why all the other alliances who hit you way more than SOL did (total of 237 hits that you chose to not retal)were not retalled.

From what I see, there needs to be something done in the server to protect the untagged. I know things have changed in SOL over the years since I left, but when I was there we always held the same rules for untagged that we held for alliances. That eliminated alot of the farming.

One thing I did always look at though is if a country was grabbed alot and never did a retal, I always felt it was a landfarm. We would then add it to our farm list. If you had retalled previously it might not have gotten to the point that it did.

I would also suggest something else... at the start of your country if you plan to be untagged, talk to the SOL FA and explain that you are not someone's landfarm and you would like to play the game untagged. Ask for a DNH. SOL FA's are not that bad and hopefully if they realize it is a real person they might give you a DNH for the reset. Although, I would expect that they would watch and if it looked like you are a landfarm that might negate the DNH they give you.

Anyway, just a suggestion. Not sure what will happen because I have not talked to anyone in SOL about it. I am just going from the point of view that I would have.

Good luck next game!

Has the Alliance game changed so much that SOL is the only Alliance that members can post a retal and anyone in the alliance can retal that hit?

Its pretty basic. You hit a SOL country and either that country or another will hit you. I would have less of a problem with it if there would have been retals on the other alliances that had alot more hits on his country.

If the game has changed so that all alliances only allow the member hit to do the retal themselves, then I would not be opposed to SOL doing the same policy. But from what I have seen, that is not the case. In looking at the news the alliances just about all have different countries doing the retals other than the country that got hit first.

Like I said, I am just trying to understand and at the same time be fair in my comments. But if you post a reason that doesn't make sense or is not how the alliance game is played that doesn't help.

What alliance are you in Rockman?

Prima,
I am not in SOL leadership anymore and maybe there was a mess up with the news... I looked at it and agree you have taken alot of hits from SOL... LCN, Omega, LAF and others and chose to only retal SOL.
I just have one question. Why did you attack a SOL country with two PS attacks as a retal when that country never hit you? I can understand you being upset with the number of attacks that 2 or 3 other SOL countries made on you and I certainly don't think those countries should have been supported. However, when you chose to retal an Alliance for an individual countries actions that does seem to cause problems. (this is what I can see happened from the news and am just curious)
