There is no Peace there is no Fun (Little Upsilon)

No, no, I am not accusing you, never even crossed my mind.

I have this tendency of making unnecessary in-line definitions, in that instance it was defining equal conditions for 2 players.

What I meant to say:
Imagine tomorrow cost of all military equipment (every single piece and soldier reqs) decreases 100 times.
Outside of economic impact first few days on corps, it would mean that you and your neighbor will have military size of at least 50 times bigger as it used to be, as far as you can afford it. and you both would feel richer (and you are) because in relative terms you cut your military down in a half.
Same way works in reverse, if we imagine military cost is 100 times higher, you and your neighbor would cut it down by 98% and you both would feel poor (and you are), because in relative terms you both have twice as much military.
What I meant to say that scale of your military does not really

Fredmark,

The issue isn't that you can make profit. It is that in general, corps are not as profitable, CEOs and countries are not as profitable, and gold coins remain the same price. This said, we are ALL relatively poorer than we were before, but our costs remain the same.

BOO

i have nothing against raiding ,as long as the raider understands, "raid and be raided" i wonder how many will cry foul when it happens to them.just a thought.

ah now that is where it makes sense to me when you put it that way eo. we are all relatively poorer cuz GC prices stay the same... but will gc prices stay the same? remember gm is only temporarily selling gc on the market to reduce cash. they will stop. then its back to the market to determine wat gc is worth... maybe we all make half the money so gc becomes half the cost? then the value of paying for gc with real cash goes down so they will give us more gc for our real money and gc gets cheaper still i mean im a capitalist i believe in free markets and the invisible hand will handle things over the long term but short term yes much chaos.

"First of all, I do know I annoy you with my contraries views.

But anyway, let me (without any morality clause) explain why it may not be such a good idea to cull the heard prematurely.

You see, this game is, by design, is not balanced.
Games of this nature typically either have reset to level a playing field or have (as MMORPGs) specific enforced restrictions to prevent uneven combat.

Because nobody took care of such restrictions, there are only two ways for a new player to integrate:
- to join establish federation (sna or valde)
- limit themselves in safety of protection"

WRONG

When I first started playing I may not have understood how "sensitive and aggressive" some players would/could be.

I joined Valde and was "greenlit" by LDI with approval from Dub and Laguna (I think the wording was, "teach her something while you are at it"

Thanks for the uplifting words Wendy. As the chairman of the United Confederation on Golden Rainbow I am proud to say yes we do our best to safeguard one another. We will continue to do so. So I will remember before I forget, BEFORE I FORGET THAT!
By the way the United Confederation on Golden Rainbow is now accepting membership applications from all players except on the Continent of Hercula Major in accordance to the Treaty of the Great War. To requst an application you can contact either The Grand Poobah at United Republic of Mitolla or myself Nute Gunray at UNITED STAR TRADE FEDERATION.

Yeah, you attacked for a bit then all of you let your decs expire and left someone else to finish off. In the last 10 RL days of that fight, there was only me and Josias fighting

Too much conjecture and banter, keith you need to kill another I think.

Lol Stu,

Once we felt there was no threat to us anymore, we felt no need to fight. You guys volunteered yourselves, and obviously we suffered no damages once we stopped fighting.

Yes Beast I remember, friendly fights are always the best, you end up closer than when you started fighting.

Stuart. . . FIGHTING?!?! . . . . LoL

Did someone say fight. Ring the bell. Come out of the conners fighting.
Sabo Sabo he is everywhere

Yes Wendy,

I'm happy you're on good terms with Seven Nation Army again. Most this whole deal was a misunderstanding, but I'm glad we've sorted it out.

Best of wishes to you Wendy,

Sincerely,
Beast

Thx :P

The game is well balanced toward the defense and it is easy for new players to not "get culled".

Buy defensive weapons. When you purchase weapons the cash disappears. Then there is no cash for another player to take. A player with a larger army could destroy a new player's defensive weapons. But in that case there is nothing to take.

Lack of defense and excess cash stockpiles are both very good reasons to attack in a war game.
