Every single netter suicided this set by whoever these people may be. I have no way of knowing.

I just noticed their country numbers lol


Total land grabbed 29,625 acres

Total land grabbed 56,847 acres

I enjoy knowing that once #76 finished jerking off to his own special brand of text based pr0n he will be forced to sit with that awkward feeling of self loathing.

Kinda like the bonnie blue of earthempires lol

They’ve got me like this like 100 times no joke. It’s why I have been so vocal speaking out against it. I’ve been told by so many players that they are quitting or have considered quitting because of this.

76 is SF probably. The dead guy I won’t be surprised if it is amg. I have no clue who that is. He’s dead though so I’m going to assume him. SF is a more skilled suicider and does way more damage.

Yes 76 at least knew what they were doing, 74 was an absolute clown.

That doesn't point to ratski then.
This is probably someone else. A copycat grief to me.

I missed the bit in the other thread...

Next round we're going to start placing the truly egregious offenders into military sanctions.

Thank you.

me so horny

I think you've confused your EE and OF accounts...

I told him to use different usernames and passwords, he never listens.

oh shi... i'm gonna get banned from OF for threatening to ugoblast some young girl!

Allow coordination against obvious suiciders. Maybe 5+ hits on 2 separate countries allows for a coordinated kill-run without deletion. Just a thought.. .

hello sir,

what does that mean? I havent land grabbed anyone in many consecutive rounds if you look at my express history. been exploring and making the odd bot hit until last night and look at that, i am still ranked #1 12 hours later and not dead.

Also, i thought that you removed sanctions per the announcement forum last year.

I genuinely thought i would be in the clear after what I read on the alliance server thread that i quoted regarding the Redx Monsters suiciding that you said is part of the game.

I am only seeking clarification on the issue as I dont want to be sanction or removed from the game as Earth is my crack. Just need to know if you turn a blind eye to "suiciding" in one server only and not on this one.

thanks in advance for the clarification and if you would rather discuss on PM and not here that works as well.

and no i am not trolling or being a pest. I genuinely want to know what I should or not do next set as I have never missed a single round of express....

for the lazy folks who cant click on AT:

Not being a pest lol. You're like a toddler throwing a tantrum by p*ssing in all the candy in the candy store solely for some sick joy of seeing other customers suffer. What business owner would let you into their store again?

(fwiw, i had no skin in the game this set, but you're being a terrorist who deserves some shock and awe)

/me grabs the popcorn

Please share! Hope you're doing well!

No Z, not being a pest because unless you can’t read. The man who owns the store Slagpit said suiciding is part of the game in allaince server I am asking if it’s part of the game in express server. If it’s not part of the game here clearly I won’t do it again…..

Maybe reading comprehension is a little too much for you on a Tuesday morning……

So will just have to wait and see what Slagpit’s stand is on express as he already made his stance on allaince.

Hopefully all of you will respect whatever his wishes are as the store owner cuz I know I will….

/Passes the popcorn


Doing well, thank you, hope all is well with you too :-)

To me it seems like most of you just want Slagpit to turn express into express coop.

Because hitting another country even if it’s one PS is considered griefing by most of you because in your head, nobody should be grabbing a player if there are bots around and that’s why none of you carry turrets because you expect that it is your right to not be grabbed by somebody else

All I want is for NPC countries to fight!



Terminator!

Hi Superfly, you already understand the difference but I'll explain it here for the benefit of those who don't play on Alliance server.

On the Alliance server, players self-identify into groups using their tags. If clan A has a problem with clan B then they may choose to declare war on Clan B. That's just politics.

On the Express server, there are no clans or politics and players often choose new country names each round. #76 is just excessively hitting countries at RANDOM in order to ruin the playing experience of others.

Hi Superfly, you are free to pretend that 121 landgrabs is the same thing as "one PS" if you want but I suspect that you won't convince anyone with that kind of argument.

People need to fight back, if the first country he broke GDI on had killed him .....he would probably come back but done way less damage too.

Thanks for the response. 76 is me as I identified myself last night to everyone.

So just so that I am clear and will never do this again here which u have my word on:
I am not allowed to hit multiple people multiple times for land.

Is there a tentative limit on player hits? can a player like me decide to wage war on one single country and farmed them into the ground if it’s one country only?

Would I be in trouble if I chose to landgrab every country one time only?

Following the posted rules / guidelines isn’t that hard and I always following whatever rules the store owner and the managers post.

Had I farmed Cathankins into the ground and not the other 14 players It would not be an issue for all the people up in arms currently. They only care cuz it happened to them and not only to Cathankins….

If you have time to provide the 22 players who are active (5 of which seem to LG people for fun based on what I see the last few rounds).

With fair play guidelines I am sure that at most of them would respect them. I know I would cuz I would rather stay and play than be banned.

So if for next round no one can be hit more than 1 PS no problem. I’ll follow that.

If the community wants into Cathankins to be used and abused no problem. I am sure we can accommodate that as well.

Thanks

Well this a War game, last time I looked. Ol Stupid Fly set a new land grab record, @ 84.000 acres, but his country will pay the price for all those hits on live players. I sure he had fun. lol

It's not a record if you die, I said it many times over, it's how you finish that counts, he no longer has 84k acres, I don't know how you and your "neighbor" don't understand the simple concept, actually, I do understand why you and your "neighbor" don't understand 😂

sounds like its not the size that matters but how you use it line?

Not necessarily, the game mechanics allows it and you're not coordinating with anyone therefore not braking any game rules, like I said in the other thread, if the developer doesn't agree with what's happening.....change the rules and or mechanics, I can off the top of my head can count at least a dozen players that would be doing what you did every set if they were still active.

I have fought him, it just gets boring doing it every set when you want dial in the netting to a degree of a finely tuned game like chess, many of us enjoy the nuance. Imagine if the netting players forced you to net every single set how bored you would be.

The difference is the netter players aren’t trying to force the war guys to net, they just want them to quit forcing wars on them set after set. A lot of people just leave, I’m sure that’s why some guys have been upset.

Imagine over the course of 20 years how many people who would have positively contributed to this community were ran off. You have to protect your assets man, or it’s wise to at least.

of course the netters are forcing war guys to farm bots and net. This is why all the war alliances have disappeared along with the warmonger members.

Why is it that Primary / classic (the only server true to the original game without bots) has more players despite it being super cut throat?

in my humble opinion management has catered to the netters over the war guys. would be interesting to see how many patrons and pang coin customers split between war / netter guys to see who supported the game more.

Personally i was never a patron just clicked the ads for the ad revenue and never have used an ad blocker.

If I wanted to war I would just fight the other war countries. I don’t think some GDI counties existing will stop me from fighting other non GDI countries.

It also would add more prestige to actually winning the game with a non GDI countries. Guys would still try but be fair game.

The majority of people who left did for RL happening, others combination or RL and game becoming outdated, very few because of the actual suiciders "driving them away", I actually believe perma bans got rid of more players than suiciders did.

NA, at one time the largest tag in 1a, lost most of its membership and eventually just stopped due to being attacked every single set for years in a row by SOL.

Many, many players, including several of you have made the mistake of separating "netters" vs "warrers"/"warmongers" into their own category - verbally, culturally, and in practice. But I've already stated such a couple times over the years.

well the self proclaimed netters who hate the guys who want to war are the most toxic and self segregated group of players.

You will never see a dude who likes to war once in awhile or all the time have a hatred for the other group like you see with netters who hate and spew toxicity towards people who do not want to farm bots like them....

NO U!

srsly though, the best war countries are the ones that are best prepped. the ones that understand the game mechanics such that they can optimise for a specific scenario on the fly. That skill is used, when netting, to optimise for NW at end of set, for warring it is optimising for resources/production during a war.

People that don't understand the game mechanics can perform adequately at both. The mechanics of hitting during a KR (for the individual) are pretty basic. Back in the day there was a bit more nuance when you had big targets, big hitters, many members per side and there was a larger "war meta" at play.

That isn't as true now. This set in AT, for MONSTERS at least, it was basically show up blast turns get the kill. Too ez. Although, I am fully expecting some blindside from out of nowhere, ganking seems to be so du jour these days.

I ain't even mad, im just disappointed that this is the state of so called warmongers. I understand they are likely motivated by a desire to try and relive the olden days, sentimentality is a strong motivator. Realistically though, I don't see that happening with the current player base.

I can war and will war. I just think that the whole thing is played out, there is no longer any real dimension to warring. The people who are "warring" by ganking netters are blatantly just trolling. There is no "warring" going on no matter how you dress it up. It isn't a mystery to me why people say things like "oh they should jet get more turrets". I was once in that camp, in time I came to realise that it was just me, not them.

Netting is still subject to some 80/20(ish) rule. Using express as an example, it's easy to get 60m+, 70m+ is harder, I have yet to get to 80m but it's clearly possible. To me there is still challenge here that will keep me coming back. I don't see any challenge in "warring" unprepared netters, and being promptly killed. I don't see any enjoyment to be found. I don't see those actions as making any positive contribution to the game.

Each to their own though, like you say, I can't force people to play any particular way.
