maverick, if you really want to help techers, I would say don't let people stock so many turns. It's a 5 day round. 360 (360) means a person is missing 2/5 days or 40% of the round. As people bank turns tech doesn't sell and people keep undercutting. And then the last 40% of the round techers rush to sell off tech before the market tanks. This makes teching efficient for like 1 of the 5 days.

Why should people be able to miss 2/5 of a round and not lose any turns? IMO, max turns should be more like 270 (180). That would fix tech completely I believe. You can still miss a full day and be okay.

I am ABing every person who hits me, and some people with 0 tanks hit me anyway. Haha.

GDI should protect you from missiles, AB, etc. until the point you have hit the opposing player two times more than he has hit you. Then you lose it to that player forever. In other words, codify RoR.

I've figured out that people like him are why these GDI rules exist in the first place.

Yeah, my first round back in 10 years I didn't join the GDI because I didn't know it protected people from all special retals on 1x hits. I ran healthy tanks and troops to protect myself. Fatty and his buddies nuked me 80 times when I never hit them, and I've joined GDI every round since.

I actually think anyone who makes the investment into warfare tech so that they have a ton of missiles has earned the right to not be hit more than once... heh. No matter what the circumstances. That's the point of those missiles, they're a deterrent.

Heh, maybe, but that's a near suicidal action if it leaves him undefended. I guess it comes out to where you draw the line of "deserves it." To me, my personal view is that a guy doing a stupid retal like that "deserves" a RoR. The superior country that got jetted out of 2000 acres does not really "deserve" to take crap for doing one more tap and taking back some of what's his. You might not agree with that, but let me make a distinction: "deserve" is not the same thing as "risk." I admit the player doing the RoR may be taking the RISK of eating 50 missiles or a barrage of tanks. I do not think they DESERVE it.

If you PS him 5x back, that's an act of war and if you get a war, yes, you deserve it.

In my case I hit back once, the guy didn't have the tanks or missiles to hurt me, we were both positive in acres after ghosts, but I wasn't in the GDI and got missiled to death by third parties.

He's small and gets 25 acre per turn. Makes back his 100 acres in 4 turns. I get 250 acres from him after ghosts, and I'm big so exp only 10 acres per turn. Would get those 250 in 25 turns.

Yeah, maybe that will happen. It already happened to me once that I got nuked by 100 nukes, my first round back since e:2025 a month or two ago. But I still think he deserved that RoR. Those are the breaks.

I mean, I can see it if you have somewhere near enough defense versus the guy's offense. Maybe not enough, but somewhere in the ballpark. However, if the other guy has the ability to PS back 5x at once, you, the retaler, deserve it if you get it.

100 acres can be got back by exploring for about 4 turns.

But we've discussed this last round or before about ObviousTroll hitting shaney.

As I said then, my position is that if you're not even close to having the defense to protect from a retal on retal, you have no business making the retal. The player being retaliated on does not deserve to be -1000 acres to some pissy little guy who can't take a hit and goes bonkers and goes all jets.

You say go ahead and RoR but someone else might say "both our sets are over." Sure, I agree, they may. But I go back one step earlier and say "go ahead and make a retal you can't even come close to covering, but someone may RoR." Ehh? :)

Let them.

I'm not talking only about acre exchange here either... if I hit you and got DH, and you hit back for 2k acres, I would move on if we were similar countries.

But if you sold all your turrets to do the retal and left yourself extremely vulnerable, THEN I'd likely take my land back. It's the "suicidal" retals that I don't wanna let fly. And if it means war, so be it. If only everyone thought like me, these land thieving pests would go away.

Like when you hit a guy for 100 acres and then later on he goes mega jets and hits back for 2000 acres. He's set you back incredibly and does not have near the defense to protect himself from you. In those cases, don't just bend over for him. Take some of that land back. If it means war, it means war, so what.

Those guys both deserved what they got. Rob got attacked 4 times in a row. Tifflin had double tapped Phreaker before being retaliated on, and then hit Phreaker a third time before getting parking lotted. Those aren't the types of cases I'm talking about.

Not sure about #50 and #63, but you could have been the top finishing techer. Last round I was 8th with 20.5m nw and that was the best techer finish. Not very good finishes for techers lately.

Seems like the easiest fix would have been just disabling GDI.

And of course, tournament is rough and tumble with no offsite stats, no 1-tap protection, etc. No GDI would fit the theme

VERY good suggestion. I was thinking this too. I end up hitting unattractive, properly defended targets, just because everyone else's DR is over 5.

It's free and it doesn't do anything. Why put everyone in it? Just change it so humanitarians intervene if you hit someone half/twice your size, because that's all it does. This would actually be changing nothing except dropping the G off everyone's scores.

The server rules on primary is that you can't attack players 4 times bigger or smaller than you - nothing to do with GDI. Probably the guy attacked you and then jumped out of range.

I notice also the scores page isn't updating.
