We've already been down that path, which leads to where we are now. There were much worse offenders of the SOTS in years past.

This is precisely why I said:
"The failure of this server is that the in-game mechanisms do not enforce the desired gameplay." The answer is not to purple people, as you say.

Because of the lack of development and the amount of work it would take to do right, my current recommendation is to turn this into a faster-paced non-bot Alliance server by removing some of the oddities of the team environment and pivoting into an Earth 2025 classic server.

I've complained much about the SOTS (Spirit of The Server) not being enforced here. In the beginning, for some time, it was implemented or attempted to be executed.

The failure of this server is that the in-game mechanisms do not enforce the desired gameplay (read the server description) and, therefore, ultimately failed.

It is a disappointment for me because the 5v5 concept would make for a fun server different from what we already have. Now, the differentiating factor is a few weird relics from the past (cannot leave a tag, cannot ally outside of your tag, etc.) and no bots. Which for some is enough to play here.

Mostly, it comes down to a lack of development. I would support just making this server alliance v2. Remove the 5 man tag rulesets and logic and be a non-bot alliance server while keeping the faster turn-rate and sorter sets.

That would interest me, and I would probably continue to play this game in the future if that were the case.

The timing and context make a reasonable person believe it was not a question in good faith.

Just drop it and quit trying to justify it.

Blackhole: please tell me you’re not doing this? I try to find the good in all people as you know. But I want this to be the last time during any back and forth exchange/argument of the game that I see a sleight of hand mention like that. Again, I’ll assume you meant no offense, but please please leave that out. Feel free to attack, belittle, ridicule, analyze, debate, fight, argue, insult, and offend in any other way but the way KoH just described. Please.

***

I feel like that was going over the line. It was, at the very least, in bad taste. I would prefer people to not even go down that road.

If I were you, I would apologize and move on.

**I didn't read any of your other posts so maybe you already did that.

On #3 - it sounds like pay-to-win. I think monetization is best for superficial cosmetic things. Maybe add country banners or logos or something and charge for them, etc. I would not want any more pay-for-advantage in this game. The current system already affords you more bonus points, which is impactful to get the 100% building cost faster. Or more turns on solo servers.

This is the point, Syko. I'm not the one missing it.

It's amazing to me that you guys are posting here, hell you're the OP, KoH and people manage to argue about their drama around you. You're getting ignored in your own thread lol.

Will you guys PLEASE debate KoH instead of each other. Please?

We've all heard LaF cry about SOL and bhole cry about mercs and evo cry about gerdler, etc.

KoH is none of those people. He did not hit you recently. Stop crying about each other for 2 seconds to have a healthy debate with a unbiased observer.

Stay on topic please.

Your retal, as you call it, was excessive compared to the offense you were supposedly defending. A reasonable person would retal 3 PS with land grabs.

Once you open a can of 50+ ABs on someone for such a minor offense toward you, then you are a suicider. You crossed that line.

Also, keep in mind he land grabbed others and was just trying to amass more acres and not grief people, as you did to him.

You do not have a moral high ground here. Also please quit lumping fluffS together with others. We are independent. I cannot help that others would rather jump in to help us than watch you abuse one of our members.

None of that is any of my business besides killing you for excessive amounts of attacks on our members.

The only part of the equation that is my problem is taking you out to pasture for harming my man when you could have just LG him back as a reasonable person would.

FWIW, I did notice when you were playing again, and I asked, "Do they know he is back playing" as I assumed you were still a banned player. Someone told me, "They don't care." so I left it at that.

You were in the wrong for retaling 3 PS with 85ab. So you died. Notice how they have been killing light, and we have not helped.

Wonder why? We are not affiliated with them. They must get so hard to kill you they helped finish what we started, _after_ your excessive retaliation, on their own accord.

From my perspective its not personal. I wish you would have just lg him back.

No need for further qualifiers here. If that is your position then the killing of his country is _also_ a great response to his 85 ABs.

I should also add he hit fluffS, who is not affiliated with Elders/Mercs etc etc. If he had just LG'd back we would not have even started a KR on him.

I'm sure there was a way to get the word out and plead your case. It was long ago, but I don't recall your discord.

I know many people who were banned but found ways to communicate with people in the game.

It just seems odd to me.

Are you saying you are 100% innocent and committed no infractions concerning this game? Pang/Whoever else made it up and lied to everyone because they just wanted to ban you?

You are a seemingly intelligent individual, so it shocks me you just said, "Well, they prevented me from posting; I'm 100% innocent, so I'll just disappear for ten years."

Something doesn't feel right about your story. I don't care, but if that is the narrative you are pushing, I'm a bit hesitant.

When you returned in 202x, did you have to ask to be able to play again? Who permitted you? Or are you still a banned player evading said ban put in place a decade ago?

Why didn't you defend yourself 10 years ago? From my perspective, Pang said you cheated, you then disappeared for a decade, and now return to declare your innocence?

Make it make sense.

I would have accepted multiple LGs in return. But the number of ABs that came at poor #55 was excessive, IMO.

It is the way.

Ah, you went full Rambo on 3 simple land grabs, didn't you? You're like the guy who brings a tank to a snowball fight!

You've earned the title of "Suicider," not because you're dangerous, but because you forgot to send out the "Declaration of War" memo. It's like forgetting to RSVP to a party and then showing up with fireworks!

Judgment has been passed, and the gavel has spoken. You've been tried in the Court of fluffS, Sneks and Elders, and let's just say, they weren't "hiss-tant" to jump in!

So it has been said, so it shall be. It's the way, the truth, and the life of the game.

(Shoutout to the Sneks/Elders for slithering in just in time!)

Bots should be more like real players to make the game as fun as possible. They need to create clans, attack, retail, etc etc...

If all they serve as is land farms for human players, we can just cut to the chase and have them do nothing but explore and build.
