Buy some tanks early then, and don't farm untagged so many times w/o tanks stupids (since those are rly the only ppl who will AB u in alliance server, and if you can't outsmart an untagged maybe you shouldn't be playing this game).

Ppl who net in alliance server have no balls. They hide behind their tag protection their ridiculous retal policies and cry and complain to the admins when something doesn't go their way. I'm sorry the game admins change things once in awhile and force you to have to think and change your ways. I'm sorry a free game doesn't do exactly what you want it to do all the time. That's life, once you move out of your parents basements maybe you'll learn this lesson the hard way.

I was ABed on day 2...

On day 2 as a casher? Of course not. I'm highlighting the fact that my being ABed had nothing to do with farming anyone.

Well there's your problem sir. Get some tanks comin out of protection, like 500 or something, such an easy solution.

I agree, and that's what I said earlier. I really just don't agree with your name calling and the reasons why people AB. Some people just like to fluff others over, and that's what happened to me this set.

THE ATTACKS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH FARMING THIS RESET AT LEAST.. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR PLAYSTYLE, OR YOUR ALLIANCE, BUT DID YOU FARM ANYONE LAST RESET, AND DOES YOUR ALLIANCE ALLOW FARMING? PERHAPS SOMEONE WAS FARMED RELENTLESSLY BY YOUR ALLIANCE LAST RESET AND DECIDED TO GET SOME REVENGE EARLY THIS RESET, WHILE IT IS EASY TO DO SO.

THE CAUSE OF THE ATTACKS REALLY ISN'T ALL THAT RELEVANT TO THIS DISCUSSION THOUGH. NOW THAT THE EFFECTS OF THE CHANGES ARE KNOWN, THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR GOING COMPLETELY TANKLESS AT ANY POINT IN THE RESET. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT SOME PEOPLE HAD TO LEARN THIS THE HARD WAY FOR THE REST OF US.. AND I DON'T MEAN THAT SARCASTICALLY. IF THE CHANGES TO AB STRENGTH WERE NOT PUBLICIZED PRIOR TO IMPLEMENTATION, THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

Add a modifier to the amount of CS that are destroyed that makes it lower for low acres and leaves it the same or less at higher acres.

Now that the initial shock of losing 120+ turns so early has worn off, I don't think there was a failure at all. 1 TPA is not very much, even that early in the set.

Hey Tellarion if you like it how it is that's fine.

I just think it's lame.

You can be a Qz apologist all you want.

so every time a republic explores early on.. we should buy 48 tanks per turn explored?

No, you should do the smart thing and save up 126 turns while still in protection, and then AFTER you spend your turns, buy some tanks.

I agree. It is funny that this game allows people to play it who are only griefers(KJ for example suiciding people repeatedly for the last 2 or 3 sets?). Most games punish those who are only out here to grief others.

How do you determine if someone is going to grief others until after they've already done it?

who said anything about banning his IP? i think what locket is trying to get at is that griefers should not have such an easy time playing to ruin other peoples countries, it shouldnt be so easy to do so much damage.

I do think that Pain but I also think that someone who is only here to ruin other people's experiences should not be playing the game. They don't contribute to the game and can only cause people to leave.

Major you make a point, but don't you think its a little out of balance if it takes out all CS's? I mean think about it... 30+ attacks could wipe out 300 to 400 turns of CS's?

That's giving a huge advantage to a sucider to inflict the most damage. Not only do you lose the buildings but you lose the turns. For a netter this basically kills you.
