Several changes have taken place in FFA, specifically on the unique Control Panel page, since last Fall. Slagpit shared an update on the Announcements section of the EE discord yesterday, which I've copied below. The thread listing the changes over the last several months can be found on FFAT.

One recent change besides enhancing the Sell Goods and Sell Tech subpages is a new Premium only feature that allows "bulk" grabbing of NPC countries with automated target selection through sorting by target networth, DR, and government.

Slagpit:

Premium players now have the ability to bulk attack NPC countries using the FFA control panel. This feature should greatly reduce the amount of time needed to perform landgrabs against NPC countries in FFA. Players who haven't tried FFA for a while may be interested to learn that it is possible to perform most ingame actions (building, exploring, teching, etc) in bulk with the control panel. Running 16 countries on the FFA server is easier than ever.

Just a quick PSA:

Reported ingame messages are reviewed by PI, not AI. Stop reporting tiny trivial things just because you get your feelings hurt a little.

I don't really play Alliance. I only played a handful of times in Mercs when requested.

Several months ago I had 811 defends on a run against me that lasted 8 hours 20 minutes, more or less nonstop. I lost count how many tags and countries it took to finally finish me off. Huge amount of DH lemming. Fun stuff.

TTT

Still bugged.

Putting in clan admin password gives you the message "You have become an administrator for your clan!" but does not give you admin perms. Original tag admin loses perms as well.

Attacks appear to complete but just not showing attack results screen. I have only been able to confirm that land is gained on successful SS and turns are used. I did not pay close enough attention to know if ghost acres are processing, if military losses are happening correctly, or if other resources (besides land) are being gained. The attacks do appear in the news search.

There are a couple other things that are a little wonky and I've report it to admins. I did confirm its also happening on Alpha so I'm assuming the issues are impacting other game servers.

If you'd like me to post the details here to why you were deleted, I can. Alternatively, you can contact me privately.

Either way, I request you turn the temperature down a bit.

Technically decay and replenish rates are both calculated after you login. The decay is calculated whether you're logged in or not, offsetting some of the replenish rate. Decay also happens before regen. Being logged out won't stop calculation of the decay of goods left on the PM - the replenish is just often higher depending on logout time so you still gain units. Players buyout their PM during a destock phase so the decay is on 0 units that you left at last logout. If your logout time is 0 when another turn is given, then you're seeing those units decay.

During the final 6 hours of the round, only informational spy ops are allowed unless the target has already engaged in one or more offensive action against you.

An "offensive action" is a standard attack, special attack, failed stealing spy op, or failed harmful stealing spy op.

This definitely threw me off for a minute mid way running turns earlier.

I agree with adding a general tab since there seems to be an open slot (TBA). Id put it in the first slot, though. A sortof mix of the previous general and economy tabs. I like knowing if I have recent defends from the former general page but I mostly liked the economy tab that showed cash on hand plus summarized my market activity - OM Tr, OM J, OM Tu, OM Ta, OM B, OM O, OM Tech.

Army away/generals home would also be nice. I typically used the 24 attack column but PS was technically 22 and wouldn't help much if you PS at different times.

Might be a bit crowded on one page so maybe include the above minus the OM summary.

Could also just allow adding Att/def to custom options to simplify

The earthempires IRC has active game feeds right now. Just currently no chanserv to manage channels or nickserv to manage nicks.

With previous deletions for coordination and running multiple countries.

He knows. He first played FFA many many years ago.

I have premium but got the message I do not have enough land to be awarded premium credits on one of my restarts. If this premium credit method becomes long-term, perhaps restarts should be treated somewhat differently from a turns played and land perspective if possible.

A good addition, even if possibly temporary

This is confusing.
Playing the game is completely voluntary 100% of the time.

Many, many players, including several of you have made the mistake of separating "netters" vs "warrers"/"warmongers" into their own category - verbally, culturally, and in practice. But I've already stated such a couple times over the years.

Round 94. Same server, same forum, new name.

#18 took a gamble and broke GDI on more than one player too.

FYI: Later in July, this forum section will be archived and locked but I will still leave it viewable for searching.

You can use the forum search feature to see if you can find older posts for the person you are looking for. I did a quick look and found nothing on either of those names.

From a moderator perspective, I'd prefer option 2. When people do stupid stuff needing mod attention it's typically on the last two days, so I check in more often when I can. A moving end day would make it slightly harder to remember. No strong opinion either way, though.

Galleri is an Express moderator.

It's current name should lead you to the most logical conclusion

I've read as much mod bashing/false statements as I'm willing to tolerate. I will also not engage in a debate or argument over a deletion almost 6 months ago.

Continued rhetoric regarding game moderators or staff will result in loss of privilege to use this forum.

The rules are clear.



If a player has been deleted in the past for coordination, you were found to have violated this rule and/or admitted of doing so. If a player hasn't been deleted this round for coordination, they were either found to not have been in violation or violation could not be proven/determined to be likely. Moderators do not delete on minor speculation.

I'd suggest if players are going to have a specific forum posting, ingame messaging, or playing habit/personality that many other players might find offensive, annoying, or off-putting, that they consider not identifying their ingane country.

Yes.

But now you get to destroy them if you capture buildings you aren't using.

Medical tech does not impact losses for an attacking country.
Exception: Co-op server.
