Nothing on the front page says anything about running multiple countries. Should we shut down the ffa server so the front page is strictly accurate?
Oh, you squeezed a serious question into there. I feel like the FFA server should revolve around players using their countries to accomplish more than they could with a single country.
If you like warring, maybe that means running a few specialized spy countries or breakers. Maybe you want to attack your enemies with all 16 of your countries at once to kill as quickly as possible. Maybe you want to play your countries individually and attack with one at a time. All choices are acceptable.
If you like netting, maybe that means sending FA or doing market buyouts to get one country with a large networth. Maybe it means playing your countries to get a large average networth. Maybe it means grabbing your own countries or simply running 16 independent all-X countries. All choices are acceptable.
Running 1 country is acceptable. Running 16 countries is acceptable.
Driving players from the game just because they think differently than you do, not because they're harming you or because it would be a good competition, isn't that great of a thing to do. It's not against the rules, but selfish attitudes like that probably contributed to the shutdown of the original FFA server.
For clarification, I'm not saying that we're going to shutdown FFA because of what SWORDS may or may not do.
