I thought when we started a few days after a set started that we had however many turns were given out already.

I just started my 16 in FFA and only had 72 turns given. Im pretty sure ffa has been going longer then 72 turns..but i cld be wrong..

Is this something new?

Did i miss something?

If this is what you are referring too, i didnt restart. I made my original countries

24 Hours is the max turns you get on a new country

<qzjul> Yea, I don't remember the reason
<qzjul> there was one
<qzjul> Slagpit & Martian & I discussed it
<qzjul> it had something to do with potential abuse... restarts possibly... not sure
<qzjul> oh
<qzjul> i remember why
<qzjul> okay
<qzjul> here's how it goes
<qzjul> a) if you can restart with enough turns to be OOP, then you can run & dump onto the market, self-kill (or be killed) and repeat
<qzjul> b) if you give more turns to non-restarts than to restarts to prevent this problem, then people who die will make a new account in order to not restart

I know last reset in ffa i started a fewdays late.. had 120(---)

I do this so i can click eachdamn country once..do my start ups with the tool bar, then tag them.

If the reason is to stop restart abuse w h y FFA? We have 16. Im not gna create a new accnt for 6 dead countries or whatever when i have 10alive still..

I do not see the logic in this reasoning.

FFA control panel (which might require bit streamlining).

Hm probably early 2010... it was around the first couple resets of express anyway... when he started to realize the exploits available with the higher turn rate & restarting, so we redesigned how restarting worked...

normally bstrong should have gotten ~180 turns but he got only 72 turns so he lost 110 turns.

To be fair, in my original post, i said, i just started my 16 in ffa.

I never would have been here asking about restarts. But rather on ffa board why my countries were dead 3 days into a set :)


Also, i know tda started at almost the same time as me. He also only got 72 on his originals.


But yes, qzjul, made 16 original countries. Check my profile or whatever it is you use. Not lying.

I would like my turns please :)

FFA country creation is a separate function from normal country creation, because of the whole multies thing -- it may be that we never pushed the additional turns into FFA....
