Just few minutes, I need my land back....please?????

lmao daddy!

Ditto

Plz do. I need land too.

No. 2 owes me land too.

No. 2 owes me land too.

That's alot of people who were gunning for him, lol.

Maybe everyone should be deleted instead of him... it seems he can't have colluded against all of you alone I think, that isn't how that thing works. :P

Jokes aside I'm pretty sure this dude would have held it together if he just knew the rules - and then you could have all gotten your lands back as well. Don't get me wrong; based on what I have heard the purpling is sure warranted.

Yes it was, it's a shame none of us that are owed a retal can't get anything out of this :-(

Cry to slagpit you special snowflakes!

I ain't got time for that...

As a returning player and not being quite so keen on exactly what the nuances of all the rules are yet, is there an “explain like I’m 5” for what led to that player’s deletion? (Forgive the ignorant question, just trying to make sure it’s crystal clear on the rule(s))

the guy was messaging players and sharing my break, trying to get them to hit me for farming him on another server

So was it the cross-server nature that broke the rule?

Or was it sharing the break?

Both. Also coordinating attacks on solo servers isn't allowed.

This!

Okay, that checks out with what my interpretation was so far. In this instance, it seems coordination was attempted via in-game messaging.

What if player A was having it out with player B, using various special attacks, and player C noticed this in the news feed and figured this was a good opportunity to join in on the fun so they also started launching special attacks of their own without any coordination between player A and player C (maybe player B had broken GDI against player C and player C wanted revenge). How is this handled?

That's fine. The key part of your example is "their own without any coordination"

If you have the ability to special attack and missile someone who is GDI and/or you are GDI (primary/express) it means you have the right to do it.
That said such a situation would invite interpretation, and any such interpretation can go wrongly, which could lead to deletion or at least accusations. It could also lead to extra work for the moderator.

Personally, I like to stay away from stuff that can be interpreted as grey.

Also this whole thing isn't a problem because of going cross-server. Cross server retalling and suiciding is pretty much universally frowned upon, but not cheating unless it brings team play to solo servers (and then the team play is the problem). At least that is my interpretation.

Good insights, thank you Gerdler and Tmac. Hopefully I wasn’t the only one with that question and you both gave thorough responses to clarify the rules.

If B broke GDI with C then B is fair game to get attacked in my book. If C hits B completely unprovoked because it looked like a fun time after viewing the news feed, I would advise against it.

Asking for help like the guy mentioned in this thread will get you Barney'd.



Correct.

Actually, you're both wrong.

Keep ruining the game, what is Alliance down to like 30 really active players and about 100 fluff players with around 250 bots?
