@zarcon: there's always going to be something to argue about. From the day I started playing this game until the present there was always something game related that people would debate.
:P

There is a cost to making the DR/ghost system more complex. It's already too complex for most players to understand or remember. This isn't a bug or exploit that's easy to solve like the restarting tech ally exploit.

Even if we did code out intratag hits, people would just find a way around it. You're going to have to take a stand against the behavior you don't like eventually. We can't code every little thing out of the game.

Just make bot countries that attempt a 100 jet PS on a country immediately after every intratag hit :-)

Why is farming untaggeds, and whining about the lack of untaggeds until bot countries are put in the game better than intra-tag landtrading or farming?

it already occurs that two people in different clans landtrade. And putting in DRs between coutnries would seem to limit to guys legitimately going after each other. I say its up to clans to limit behavior like this they don't like...

No one answered me, so I'm going to assume that exactly zero (0) landtrading countries have finished in the top ten. So here are the facts as I know them:

-an alliance has never landtraded to win average nw
-an alliance never landtraded to win total nw
-a warring alliance has never landtraded to get an advantage in war
-a country has never landtraded to get into the top ten

So what exactly is the issue here? Either the behavior some of you are worried about isn't possible or the server/players already self regulate it out of existence.

Also Dragonlance, if you're going to bring up the "OMG untagged farming" issue in every thread, I'm going to point out how much of it is due to people like you. I'm sure you don't want to have that conversation publicly, so kindly knock it off.

I guess thats one down. 3 more to go? although the warring one will probably never even be attempted... so really just 2 more to go?

Yeah, KJ is a noob so he failed to knock him out of the top ten. If you're so offended, why not do something about it?

slagpit, you had to know someone would get top ten by landtrading sooner or later. And now it was one of the non netting clans.

I landtraded on FFA to get an advantage in war.

Good read. Bonus points. Land trading is for sissies.

to be fair, no country has landtraded into the top ten because those who do it are utterly incompetent at netting and the good netters currently do not believe in it. i'm pretty sure any of the top 30-40 netters in EE could landtrade into the top ten easily if they chose to.

agreed, top netters have too much pride to do this kind of crap.

PS: it's intratag, not inter tag nubs -_-

Why not just have it have the same effect as having not enough food/cash on hand, and have military and population desert? I mean, would real people be happy if their country attacked their allies? Most likely not. The country could still do it, but it would have some pretty bad side effects. :P

no he genuinely wants intertag hits eliminated so that we are forced to landtrade within our alliances instead of grabbing...:p
