Lol wait what? grantman77, I'm agreeing with you, and the rude part wasn't aimed at you, but at crest23.. there's a lot more to why I'm 'rude' towards him than just from this one thread.

grantman the solution is very simple here. feel free to message your allies to attack another country, just dont come here crying when you and your allies log in to a deleted country.

if you still dont understand then read this.

@grantman77: The rule is on the forums http://forums.earthempires.com/...&z=rule-clarification

@crest23: Instead of thinking of the biggest douche bag comment to write, please read what's written and think about what ppl are actually saying.

Do primary server and tourney server have the same rules? No. So what I am saying, and what everyone else in the world who's not a dumb fluff understands what I'm saying but for some reason I have to explain it to you in dumb fluff terms, is having a server with the length of primary, rules of primary (aka turn time, GDI rules, market rules) but have no allies/interactions like in tourney. UNDERSTAND YET??

And yes I know there are 3 'social' servers, but they all have clans and when you have official clans you have stupid rules that people make up and try to enforce which makes the game horrible to play - which, I guess I have to spell out for you since you're a dumb fluff who can't understand anything, keeps ppl from wanting to play them. Hence why I said a server without clans but with looser rules.

@Everyone else: I don't think havin O allies and PSing your jets away everyday is wrong, nor do I think leeching tech is wrong AS LONG AS the goal of your allies countries weren't created for the sole purpose of letting you leech. It's not my responsibility to look out for the best interest of other countries but rather my own. It's the same thing w/ D and Intel allies. If I have 400k spies and my intel ally has 100k, isn't he pretty much leeching? Or if I have 1m turrets and my ally has 250k turrets, isn't that essentially leeching? This is why I check my allies every few days to make sure they're up to par with me, otherwise I cancel the pacts and find better allies.

In the same way, if I stop teching and don't break my tech pact it's my tech allies responsibilities to realize that I'm no longer teching (either by assuming from news, asking me, or spying on me) and breaking the pact. Or if my O ally never gets to use my jets, it's my allies responsibilities to realize this and break the pact.

Using the rules to your advantage, as long as it's not illegal, is smart (hell take a look at politicians). Think about how the netters use GDI rules for their advantage, what's the difference? And if the game mods/devs don't like the way their rules are being used it's their job to change it (AKA Sean Avery rule in the NHL).

Alliance server started out exactly like that. There were no tags - but people managed to coordinate large amounts of countries just the same, using both ingame and out of game methods. That's not the direction we want to go for this server.

It is considered coordination.

BUT IMO this should be allowed. Diplomacy is part of the game and as long as it's all communicated within the game I don't see why not.

You didn't read the page I linked to I can tell. "What are these allies for?" It's funny when people use that line for this argument when there's clearly something else they're for, you know, the built-in function that they serve? Like every time you get hit and your allies send 25% of their defense and etc. *That's* what they're for! Nothing more. The stuff about having only one account is just you being silly, ALL non-ffa servers require you to hav
e only one account, including alliance servers.

When you are using them against the "Spirit of the Rules" of fair play, then yes it is forbidden. This is why DR-abuse on Express is a deletable offense, even though the in-game mechanics allows for it.

As for the idea of a solo server, SOLO doesn't mean one country. Every other server including the clan servers except FFA also only allow one country, but Alliance and Team are definitely non-solo servers.

Anyone can attack back already. It just takes more networth to be in range to make a hit. You have to get better.

None of the people asking about GDI seem to know how it works. GDI doesn't prevent you from attacking someone...

Haven't you asked this before?

Are you guys stupid or what?
