WL's on FB (Fearless Blue)

i'm tossed up about the WP, i mean people do get sick, go on vacation, or otherwise can't be at their computers every day of the year. The announced increase cost of WP on FB is good, but i think maybe giving a higher free amount of WP like one every 8 GM, and then do not allow any buying of WP for FB... but their planned changes are good, lets see how it plays out?

my other thought, is every RL month, your War Level automatically increases by 1, up to 3 where the automatic leveling up stops. That gives every one 3 months to prepare... shoot, increase it one every 2 months, giving players 6 months to get ready, i'd still be happy.

"War levels are here to stay.
We are working on making the war game more accessible so that people who want to wage war against each other can do it more freely.

Any opinions and suggestions on the matter will of course be taken into account. "

I maintain that War Levels should not be a factor on FB. Going up WL on FB should be rewarded with better C3s to raid and higher Game Levels, as it is on all other worlds. War Levels 1 and 2 should not offer protection on FB.

I like your idea Josias. It would give time to build a small empire and search out a fed to help protect you while you build further. At least that way there your not going to remain at WL 2 forever. Also, if the rules where to change, it would give people that are already there and below WL 3 to do the same.

on the topic of WP it would be a flat rate for the empire. Like 5GC per day for the empire thats no unreasonable as most keep 4-5slaves and its better then 1GC per 4months on a now 6month world. Flat empire rates would make it much easier. On top of that the GM can make WP All or non.

I have always been a mostly peaceful player. I too played before WL's and never got into a war. I agree much has to do with how you present yourself. I never looked for war because I didn't want it. At one time, I probably had 10 countries that didn't have enough combined defense to save one.
That said, I agree one planet should be about war and not offer free protection. The game has to offer something to those who want war if they are going to advertise it that war.
I also like Josias' idea of auto-moving levels to give people plenty of time to get ready.

Question:

How difficult is it to get to War Level 3?

Is it something Barren could do?

Everyone can easily get to war level 3.
if you cannot, don't go to FB and don't start any wars.

there must be a minimum war level protection also on FB or we will get back to the killing of noobs.

player to player fighting, war level 3 and up must be completely free.

in the mean time, I will build my empire on FB and get ready for war.

How would eliminating WL's on FB lead to the killing of noobs? They can still play other worlds. If they change FB to no WLs, then noobs shouldn't be started on the planet. Maybe they have to play 30 days before they can move there too. That way it is not just vet war monger pouncing on unsuspecting new guy all the time.

Would all agree it is easy to get to War Level 3?

New players aren't started on FB by random chance, which is why it's empty.

It is easy to get to war level 3. Very easy in fact. But there shouldn't be a mechanism forcing anyone up the war levels. If there was one added, war levels wouldn't be practical in the first place. Why go through all the trouble to have this feature installed only to have it undone as soon as the players who advocated and praised its' inception find it unsuitable to their raiding habits? Pathetic.

we're talking about FB, kido

Josias I can go back and find the endless number of quotes of you cheerleading for the implementation of war levels FB or not. But lets place the emphasis on the real matter at hand behind yours and others' change of hearts on the matter

lol, their are 4 planets that NEW players are randomly put on. FB is a choice, 3-6 month prep... between building up and finding a good fed, it really shouldn't take that long.

anyways, i've been playing on your chess thing, i'm happy with the high level of competition. still trying to work my way up to a winning record. i'm trying to average 3 games a day. anyways, still hope to see you there

My handle is IMJR let me know when you are on so we can do battle

As far as the fb thing, the point can be argued either way over and over. My position is that the players in the 'know' do not fight each other for fear of loss. As a result those players need n00bs to feed on in order to maintain those superior armies. Moving players up without a choice is tantamount to placing us where we were when we supposedly needed war levels. Vets eating thew weak. There are plenty of players on FB that can fight war. Again you all CHOOSE not to, in favor of the easy victory.

your right, about the that, i agree, how ever, i think just like bears loosing their habitat, things might change

further, i truely believe, that the main problem to the war game... is when a new player shows up in the chat, they are told to sell their weapons...

and that the documentation is pretty useless to a new player, it creates a demograph of econ only players.

FB is the planets for players that "get it"

jeese, stop being obstinate, and just fight

makes me think about the high defense the game has now, maybe the right thing, atm

long run, it will kill the war game, when it cost more to take a country than if benefits you.

i mean, let the drama play out, at a cost. you hear that!! who ever is managing bobo's accounts, it will cost you more than me, and in the long run, i'll win.

Bobo's account is empty.

Any remaing countries were deregged by him and his last remaining ceo has been given away.

So quite how an account without a single country or ceo can be managed by anyone, is beyond me.

Josias, Now I am firmly convinced that you are just a multi personality of Wildeyes, Jess or whoever the hell IT is OR just a pathetic lap dog. Wildeyes or whoever IT is has been the only player I know that has had some sick obsession over Bobo, and it appears that you have the same???? Good God, he can't even quit the game. ha ha ha ha So pathetic you and yours are.

For your information, noone is running Bobo's account but Bobo. I'm sorry, hard as you and yours try and project your own missplaying on me and my game friends, it just isn't true. You, Wildeyes, or whoever, comprise half of the players in this game with multi accounts. Wildeyes has threatened a player with SirSmokesAlot account. Smokes admitted she was in it. She has been in chat under his name. She has told other players she has control of MANY accounts in the game. Sooooooooo SHE LIES OR SHE CHEATS. :-)

It is so blatantly obvious. You must think us genuine players fools. Nah. I'm no fool. I just sit back and laugh at what lengths you idiots go for a game lol

As far as you winning in the end? Well if your intention is for game domination.... well maybe.... because YOU and YOURs are running the decent players off.

So save your breath, Josias. Tell WildEyes if she has anything to say....for HER to do the talking and you stop playing her B***** Boy. Pathetic, you all are lol

Gotta love Simcountry! ha ha ha ha Thank you for my early morning laugh.

"It is easy to get to war level 3. Very easy in fact" Quote from Wendy

Conclusion: There is no need to reduce war level requirement on any world. (FB included)

For the players that wish the war option, just get to War Level 3.

I say make a war continent on each world.

Let players interested in the war option with other players buy a booster and move their country to a war continent. (Swap with a c3) A random move to a c3 on the war continent cost 1 coin. A move to a specific available c3 on the war continent cost 5 coin. Countries moved to a specific country on the war continent cannot wage war for 14 days.

For players going on vacation, just buy a booster and move your country off the war continent.(These countries will have a minimum 14 day waiting period before they can return to the war continent)

No temporary war peace allowed on the war continent.

Your country is fair game 24/7 when on the continent.

A country must be at war level 3 or higher to move to the war continent.

Any country currently in war cannot move off the war world.

Also, countries on the war continent are given a 25% discount on government and military costs.

No.

i hit a nerve their, Jan, didn't i?

you blame me for Bobo quiting, then tell me he's gonna take his own countries back

you tell me he doesn't have access to his MSN, but want me to return his countries. and he's giving you his stuff? I was never obligated to return them, in the first place.

YOU have *obviously* account shared, and have even locked your own pal out of his account, so that the GM had to step in, but YOU will accuse any one you want of account sharing, just becuase you don't like what they have to say. Frankly, the past evidence supports my conclusion.

send a message to the GM, if you think i'm account sharing, i'll even place a wager as to whether my account will still be here.

you can't have it both way. you can't brand some one a multi, and shun them for it, when you do it your self. you can't make some one feel bad for another player quitting, when they didn't quit. i mean some how you don't think your feces stinks.

its amazing

Josias, try as you like....... you will never be able to pin me as a multi, because I am not. lol No, you have hit no nerve at all with me. You just make me sick to my stomach with your patheticness as it relates to Bobo. If you want to talk to Bobo and find out the truth, then give me your MSN addy and I'll ask him to contact you himself.

GMs are welcome to look into my game activities. I have and always will play the game above board.

Good try, little boy. Attempt - Fail. :-)

I trust you and I have nothing further to say to each other? Because honestly, you are a waste of time.
