Well, one aspect of self farming unsaid is:
The two have nothing in common when looking at the stats for the respective styles of play.. As far as I know, the traditional style, (non self farming) doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hell, to win the game, in the FFA server! And this is a disservice to those that have learned the skills needed that are involved in making successful land grabs. What is similar to grabbing everyone else but your countries, and grabbing nothing but your countries? I see it as apples and oranges.. They both may be fruit, but they sure as hell don't taste the same.
The dynamic is completely different. IMO it's SO different, I see it as cheating. (I can hear the flamers)
So, for example, when looking at the rankings for top land totals, it really doesn't reflect bonafide/traditional acres grabbed. From my point of view, these rankings are not correct, and shouldn't be tallied because you have grabbed your own land to begin with! This defeats the whole purpose of grabbing land.
Laars, made this pretty evident. Especially when referring to the most land grabbed category. You can't tell me that the 123,637,557 acres shown there, were properly earned.
You hit another clan's country, big or small, 20 times, unless you are a very smooth talker (outstanding FA), that country will be dead. (This also touches on the player interaction issue)
There are more of these rankings that also reflect the wrong stats.. just doesn't reflect the 'true' numbers.. Perhaps if these were split into acres via self farming, and traditional acres grabbed, it may be a much truer view..
When you get land from your own countries, you LOSE military in both countries.
Some of NBK's crew, really enjoy looking at these statistics. It's fun to see how we all stand.
There's an inherent fundamental problem here.. When your countries attack each other, it violate your own people and military, not to mention pacts between themselves..
They aren't, I believe by design, to attack each other.
To sum it up, one of our crew put it this way....
"self farming is wrong .....self infliction of pain.."
Thanks for listening..
