So in total there are 4 people plus myself who have farmed guys this round. If us 5 get sanctioned / banned you will lose 22% of the human players that played this round (22 players this round).....

how is that for chasing players out of the game?

acceptable if it's someone else that leaves the game as long as its not you i bet right?

Keep asking for guys to get banned and its only going to be 15 of you farming bots 7 days week with no more threats cuz its not like any new players are going to take the time to join discord to message a moderator to allow them to sign up to the game....

netters are seriously more toxic than war guys. some noob comes to play and he hits you cuz he knows no better and you guys pounce him like a cancer bullying him out of the game. thats how it has always been on every server. Farm them into the ground and chase them out! That was the LaF & RED mentality that you netters cant shake lol

i am referring to the odd new player that shows up and gets pounced on and chased out. The only way i get chased out is if I get sanctioned / banned by Slagpit should he choose to banish his most loyal player of his game for playing within mechanics and refusing to conform to the forced game play that the netters have imposed across all servers....

That’s why I said it should be players choice whether they have GDI protection to net. The war guys just want to force netters into wars because it’s ruining the set for guys that you think is funny.

If this wasn’t true then these guys would target war countries and rainbows but they don’t. They specifically target guys trying to net.

If a player is free to choose their own game, they will be mad they have to fight other war guys.

Otherwise there would be no problem. You and ratski AMG and the other war guys can fight each other every single set. If war is as popular as you say there will be no shortage of guys to fight.


You know what netters will do is the issue and you guys don’t want them to be able to play without trolling
them. We already see what happened on alliance with half of the players leaving.

Another idea: alternate sets between no-holds-barred, primary style rules, and then sets where folks can get Cathankins-style GDI protection from any human attack (but where anyone could opt out of GDI and still war with each other). I don't need another long-format reset server on my to-do list, but I'd play in both of those sets of weeks on 5-day reset. Then I might actually try in express (I completely half-*** it whenever I play - which is rarely today - because it's not worth the time to actually try with SF bin Laden and his ilk running around).

I am one such player having rejoined this game in the past year after dabbling in it over a decade ago. Got parking lotted once in classic and started an unintended war in tourney, but it doesn't take too long to figure out gdi rules and PvP protocols.

Both PvE and PvP aspects of the game are enjoyable and each have their learning curve. PvE is not as simple as grab bots, finish 70m.

I get that express is attractive to both sets of players and people care about this game and don't want to be forced one way or the other.

At the same time having a "sandcastle building competition" (great analogy credit ugo) while having sandcastle stompers running around free range is pretty untenable in a multiplayer game imo. Look at the impressive sandcastles built last reset. I don't want to win a set just because all the other nice sandcastles got stomped, or talented builders stay away. I'd like to try and get better at building them and try to compete with the best.

I think we should probably find a way to share the playground or take turns so that each can do what they want to do at the appropriate place or time. There isn't really a place to solo PvE so these players aren't catered for at present

I had a similar thought as Z's idea and figured it wouldn't be too challenging to alternate the GDI rules every set. Edit: removed

Anyway, there's my reasons for wanting a regular solo PvE environment and it's not because I'm

A solo PvE environment already exists. There are plenty of solo tags on the Cooperation server.

There are no plans to do a permanent coop style Express server. There wouldn't be anything to talk about on the forums for such a server. We have that problem already for Cooperation but that's mitigated by clans having discussions amongst their own members.

Felt to me like this was just the state of the game for a long time *shrugs*. The rise of Discord seems to have reduced friction a little, lots of chat at SKA, and even MONSTERS have embraced this new fangled tech and we have good chats.

I think an important thing to note is that "activity" isn't a wait for it to happen thing, people have to put in the effort.

Good points! Especially the part where I get credit for something 😂

Actually tho, the "it's not just grab bots" is very salient and I'd been wanting to say this but I wasn't sure it would be particularly well received.

You joined a tag formed by a person with no charisma or comunication skills that traded on nostalgia to poach a few guys from more active places. NA is a big tent, we'd welcome you too.

It's the other way around. In my opinion, the game is more fun when playing with friends. Cooperation is best enjoyed in an active tag with lots of discussion about various topics. You could also get that destocking help that you kept asking for. However, some players prefer the solo experience and they are welcome to do that on the Cooperation server.

I view that as a clan PvE environment, though I accept it can be played solo at a disadvantage

Have you considered periodic rule set changes for express, such as the alternating GDI described by Z above? seems like there is precedent for this in coop server , this could perhaps satisfy both sets of players who enjoy the express server and possibly reduce the amount of griefing behaviour/animosity among its player base.

On a coop-style express you wouldn't have ingame allies, diplomacy, or any reason to send ingame messages or post on the boards. It would be missing too much player interaction.

I personally frequently receive messages about all of those things (not diplomacy) from other players when netting. There’s also a whole separate style of interaction for sure - like me helping someone in NA (via Vic) in coop that I’ve never met to finish probably $200M higher than they were expecting.

I think if you polled the 22 players you would have 15 of them vote for no interaction. Thats the unfortunate state of affairs here :(

i am starting to thing that all these netters must have grown up as only children cuz they dont seem to play well with others and dont like sharing their toys or their land in this case with others :(

Don't like sharing their land?? Seems like based on his last message that SuperFly bin Laden is suggesting edits similar to the following for the game description:

Earth Empires is a free browser based strategy game where you take control of your nation's economy and gross national happiness. Gentle parent your country's citizens to share your land and resources with your friends and frenemies. Execute strategies to relieve others of any sadness and troubles.
