Are there people who prep food for you guys? That stuff doesn't just show up stuck on someone's shoe. Bring your own lunch and start asking questions. Check the Ubereats and GrubHub guys social media for extremist anti cop material/posts. Tell Linda to start shopping at Kroger. Bodegas are only cheaper cuz o reefer.

This topic has been ever present, the complaints universal in nature.

"He's not violating any rules. I agree with Galleri that banning or sanctioning Superfly is not appropriate. Read the rules page. Play on".

TL;dr You and Galleri shut these complaints down and excused them away. Slag steps in and sides with the players. !!High Five Gang!!

Where exactly is this stated and context?

Well Galleri, it turns out that player who was clear cutting players in express actually WAS a nefarious player who was intentionally and admittedly a grab happy suicidn' stinkhole.

I and others, have been filling this board with complaints. After ignoring and half sarcastically dismissing the issues, we finally got some attention. The decision was that since Superfly (and others) weren't "technically" breaking rules, no disciplinary action would or could be taken. Play on kids.
Now that the entire server has moved to the forums we learn about sanctions. Slagpit walks in "What the fluff?! Ban this griefing pos and cut the fluff!"
Did you, or prime, not have access to Slagpits email, chat, or cell? It really took the entire express player base curb stomping Superfly publically for something to be done?
I still love you, but this relationship is on the rocks.

Hi guys. I'm trying to figure out what all these failed ops mean. Can someone explain why I can have WAAAAY more spies than my enemy, but over time I start failing, at it gets worse, soon I lose many turns and spies.
Is there a reason for this?
Second question, how does this effect war (Rebellions, bio)? Does the first spy ops ruin everyone's chance? Or does it "reset" with each fighter?

That's the challenge with bots. It's so easy, and free of risk. But without proper timing you get more land exploring when they are tapped out. Maybe this is different for Tyr on low breaks, (2 hits with bonus+ ghost). You see all the players with 25,000+ acres, up in top 10, that was bots. Im not certain if any of them grabbed actual "players", but most likely minimal or less.

Consider also that most players take 1-3 hits at most, against the bots. This avoids adding too much to the DR, and is an attempt at fair bot usage. But by no means a rule.

Gonzo where does it say that Slagpit has sided with TwoPod, Gerdler, Tmac, Curry and the others?

Things seems more complex now that these players deem farming others ok as long as there are no bots in the server (primary & tournament) as they must source their land from the weakest countries.

Griefers get sanctions. You were griefing on express. It's something to be addressed. Everyone in this thread more or less agrees on griefing and consequences. This has been a forum topic each set. Farming bots is optional. Hitting players is fine. Hitting 10 players 10 times in a rush is not fine. No matter the NW or defense. Outside of war obviously.

I stopped reading most posts but it's still ramblin..

...

Does this imply I'm not active? Because I am.

You disagreed with the consensus of the players that SF was a griefer affecting multiple servers (mostly express). So slagpit might be in the wrong here. Maybe Super gets a pass afterall.

How great I can waste 80 turns making 80a SS hits or I can take the risk and decide what is best for my country and farm a few players….

Part of the challenge with the servers that host bots is the timing and DR. We are all facing the same issue. There were posts here about bot abuse. Farming all bots into hopeless DR. This forced players to start attacking each other. I'm not saying that's an option, just dropped on the floor is all.

The question tmac is how many land grabs can you make before you are sanctioned.

I looked at primary server. #1 ranked country is Dalgangal (#34) he is also the fattest country in that server. He has farmed the piss out of #44 and #13 and triple tapped tons of other countries.

Is the owner of #34 a menace or a griefer because he is farming everyone?

Do sanctions not apply on that solo server? I’d bet my lunch money that the owner of #34 is one of the people complaining about being land grabbed on this server.

If #34 multi tapped me he would be limping along with hungry hoping I just forget about him and move on. But style over substance I guess. Point being every player he hit 2+ is free to launch their missiles...all of them, whenever. Maybe b4 Christmas...

You developers should make a server where attacking is not allowed, and those players who have posted above who are scared of other players can join this server and enjoy their "race" without having to worry about the other racers trying to grease up their wheels

I would guess that the majority of players enjoy the attacking aspect of the game and don't mind the occasional round where they are on the receiving end of some land grabs

Hi, I'm Rocky and this is trolling 101

They will post a resolution shortly and I will abide and play according to whatever they say.

Let’s see if the “big 6” get what they want or if they are left unsatisfied and find another reason to complain about shortly.

You're an experienced player. A functional logic process. Bans and sanctions should not be required. 2-3 hits, move on. You get land, send your wake up call. Rinse and repeat. Wall for retals. I can't see too much harm. Just greed and broken hearts.

Gonzo you are such a double faced liar. You were all for multi tapping until you got multi tapped and then you changed your tune….

Gerdler can definitely confirm how you switched stances after getting owned

I have no problem hitting low defense players. You got a fat stack and leave it I'm grabbing some. I'll hit you again if I'm feeling frisky and can cope with a retal. But if I grab a player 10 times, not only am I getting several retals, but I know damn well I fluffed that player up, and if they're inexperienced it's incredibly demoralizing and causes them to quit or worse, become griefers themselves.

Now imagine stomping half the players on the server. So far all these behaviors have accomplished is loss of player base. I still spent majority of this set with approx 300k turrets. But I'm from Mars and players like you made up about 30% there so it's like watching a slow motion execution. I know, you know, but they still cling to a happy ending.

Superfly- You're telling me you have read the military sanctions and don't think it exactly describes what you're doing? Come on man, lol.

He's about as disingenuous a person as could ever be. I read doublespeak in every post. It's not griefing. It's just multi taps. Multitaps aren't "illegal". Multitaps on 10 players with 10 hits each isn't illegal. Being one of the best players ever Superfly knows that if someone hit him 10 times they are a suicide/griefer (or absolute nube). Superfly is not a nube. So hitting so many players so many times is either griefer or suicide. The "you guise jes don't like gettn hit, wah!" "Only 6,000 acres ;((( " is more mealy mouth fluffe. 1 or 2 hits, I got no problems. 10 on 10 is spoiling a set, which causes problems. Superfly is an adult and should be able to modify his behavior without a ban. He certainly recognises the issue.

It seems that the really good players have the discipline to only attack countries that are approx 1/4 their net worth and then you have these other players who are attacking countries that are the same size as them and can easily retaliate

I've been watching the two or three largest countries in land and watching who they attack and trying my best to mimic their playing styles

It's easy to get grabin fever. Starting to see multi taps. Losing karma points. You should focus on your build. Cost/benefit and all that noise.

In Fallout and Terminator having better understanding of medicine and trauma allows them to be more proficient killers. Should Med tech increase your kill ratio? That's reasonable.
