In the meantime, remember that ingame alliances are free on the team server. Thus, there's no reason not to ally everyone in your tag. Communicating with the "message all allies" option (we have that, right?) should be fairly efficient.

I moved this here because it's something that should be decided by the ffa community. Is this really such a problem? We changed things so that users could login to their dead countries to see how they died.

What is the best way to treat dead countries on the mainffa page?

You asked me a question and I gave an honest answer. TIE offered us a challenge. We accepted it and fought fairly. When is the last time LaF won a 1v1 worth bragging about? Running tyranny indy startups and surprise FSing a smaller tag than yours during the first few sets is not worth bragging about. The fact that you think it is shows how incompetent you are at warring.

Your obsession with EVO is pathetic, as is the new lie you invent and bring to the boards each week.

EVO won a 1v1 war around a year ago after we accepted TIE's challenge.

Your comments about enjoying war are pretty hilarious considering you've done nothing in the new game except get killed and run untagged suiciders. I've won a variety of wars on a variety of servers, some worth bragging about, some not.

Yeah SS, clearly EVO got FSed in the Aug-Oct set because they FSed SoF in the Oct-Dec set. That's some brilliant political analysis right there. Let's also look at the "current situation" for EVO:

-war win
-net
-war win/net
-war loss

If only EVO had someone like SolidSnake to lead them.

If you are a member of a tag in the team or alliance server and have an open ally slot, the game will recommend allies for that slot. Simply go to the RELATIONS page, select a country from the appropriate drop down box, and click "Propose".

For defensive and offensive pacts, the ten closest countries to you in NW in your tag that also have at least one ally slot open are shown.

For research and intelligence pacts, the ten closest countries to you in land in your tag that also have at least one ally slot open are shown.

For trade pacts, the ten smallest countries in your tag that have at least one ally slot open are shown.

This feature is not implemented on primary, express, or tourney because there are no clans on that server. This feature is also not implemented in FFA: we have something else in the works for that server.

As always, let us know if you have any suggestions or bug reports.

The best (and only) way to ensure enforcement of the rules is to report players who break them.

The "Select Player From List:" option on the RELATIONS page was never coded in. I think that it should do the following:

ffa server: display your own countries
clan servers which aren't ffa: display your clanmates
non clan servers: don't show

Anyone have any thoughts?

The problem was I changed the way that link was handled but missed a few places in game where we allow players to click on tags.

I fixed this one and got another one. That should be all of them, but if someone else finds a broken link let me know. Thanks.

Ok, that should be fixed. We save all of the market transactions, primarily for two reasons: to provide the mtrans_feed and to detect cheating.

I'm open to changing the 1 hour limit. It just seemed like a natural cutoff point.

I think the peak is closer to 31% than 69%. I believe his point was that because sets are longer and we encourage countries to hold more military, government switch costs should be slower to increase to keep all things even. I made the same argument a few months ago.

Can anyone even think of a good reason that the switching costs aren't flat?
