This is complete and utter bullshit.

I still do not understand the reasoning behind this nor do I care to.

I understand this.

Laguna can not fight. I can whip him easily.

How can I fight the GM's as well?

I would like to cash out in one lump sum the bullshit way currently takes far too long.

Although I have played for a few months, I still consider myself quite green.
I do not know the underlying rifts or the basis for this argument in its entirety either. I can only guess from what I infer in reading the posts.

Wildeyes, to be honest, is a mixed bag to me. Although she did go nuke happy on my countries, she did help me out a lot in my first real war. In retrospect, even being nuke happy on my country taught me a few things: 1) This is a game. Players are here to enjoy it (albeit within the confines of the ToS) and the owners need to make some sort of money to continue. 2) There is no such thing as a peaceful world. Anyone is allowed to start a war against anyone. Larger and more experienced players can band together to deter these incidents, but they cannot remove them completely from the game.

In the end, I'm grateful for what Wildeyes (and many others, you know who you are, but this i

Although a member of LDI I have tried to view this forum as unbiased as possible... With that being said my opinion is that all of this is pure bullshit! Laguna you started this thread claiming you were ready for a war which would take out wild, jason, and sam. That is a legitimate post; however, your threats were empty handed. Instead you got the GM to hand out the threats making yet another war void. If you want to fight why not just fight? After the disbanding of SNA I have only found LDI members very hospitable and all together good people. Wild has helped me economically and in war; Sam and Jason have of course helped me out in the war aspect :P. Also EO aka Beast has been a mentor for me in this game for a long time. Without these people I probably still wouldn't be on this game! I was all over lacerta and they had every right to take me out with everyone else, but instead they gave me the option to join them. They don't fight noobs... If any

MmmmmK CF I "GET" it, but by all means I am "Newb" even after a year.


I learned by trial and error, so when a n00b gets tonz of advice on how to defend against "Noob crushing Wendy" they quickly surpass almost totally my my trial and error experience.

The reason I may seem to win these wars against n00bs, as you say, is because experience is the best teacher. You can have the manual, and still fumble through its pages. Losing despite having all the tools necessary to win. Like fumbling from country page to country page, forgetting to supply adequately, or stock ammo adequately, and list goes on and on. These things I still manage from time to time to forget even though I have fought 200+ wars.

Who exactly are n00bs in your book?

I don't need a spanking... You attacked other noobs for no reason such as Maxwell and he left the game. I'm not trying to argue this point, but just pointing out the obvious. You have attacked with a real war slave it was taken by BC (although not a noob) in one of his first real wars! I don't want to fight you wendy but I just feel all sides of the conversation should be noted.

CF Maxwell left of his own accord, after some changes affected him or Forum BS rubbed him the wrong way.

He actually "appreciated" our fun times because it allowed him to learn the war engine. Those were his own postings not mine.

Get your facts str8 bud. Misrepresenting them could lead well . . . to things rather left unsaid.

I'm dissapointed that you have chosen to put me in the crossfire without "knowing" what side you are even speaking about. I had nothing to do with Maxwell leaving. I promote, build, spark interest in this game, or at least aim to. How about you? You slander me? I thought we were kewl homie. Some things will never change.

I consider us cool wendy. My only thing is I just believe all parts of the argument should be shown. I have no problems with you and actually have fun watching your wars, but I thought it should be brought to the table! If I misrepresented your fight with maxwell I apologize, but it was a classic case of fighting a noob. I'm not out to attack anybody, but this problem needs to be ended and without GM interference.

Sounds about right.

Hello, Wendy.

I've actually been wondering where you have been on and about. At one and another point in this thread, I wonder "What would Wendy say?" Happy to see Wendy would say "me Luuvs ma LG".


I believe I've posted a word or two about Russia's economic conversion in the 1990's before. The moral was:
Things need to be done in steps. Foundations must be laid and solid before the next phase comes. You don't jump to the end. Here, what should be solid and functional isn't, and it makes difficult to build what is needed.

"After reading the Game News, I finally understood why he asked about FB and warned Wildeyes specifically. There was another group of players contacting the GM, besides me and those who I forwarded to him. Interesting, but didn't change anything. The war will continue."

The game news actually makes wild's point even more valid...
The fact that the complaints came from the "war" world, are quite ridiculous. You don't want to fight don't fucking play on the war world. Makes sense right? If you are so dumb that you can't think of that yourself, go find games more suited to your intelligence level...i suggest coloring books, they are quite fun.

Additionally, there shouldn't be limitations on wild now that they decided they will add a stop the war booster. It is now quite easy to protect yourself. (glad they listened to my post above with that one...)

It means "there was another group of players contacting the GM, besides me". The GM doesn't only listen to me, and I don't make it my business to know which messages he got. That's why I thought it was a bit weird only two got warned (and only warned).

This has nothing to do with you, Slocketer. You did nothing.

To be fair, I'm not "limited" yet. The only limitations on action come from the reprecussions of their unclarified warning...

Nevertheless, it's almost as good as an actual restriction.

But more to the point: "The hell does that mean?"

I'm still waiting on clarification. Perhaps someone could enlighten this lowly soul to the frothing outcries that her tanks merely drowned out.

No, now that the GMs have decided to get involved I need to know what I will be allowed to do and not allowed to do with regards to their warning. I need to determine whether it will be worth it for me to continue playing, or if I should just move everything to FB (although that ironically seems to be where the complaints came from?)...

or should I find minions to war for me by proxy, using my cash and stockpiles.

edit:

Maybe if the GMs would actually communicate, and explain themselves and their wishes, instead of just delivering warnings out of the blue... something might get accomplished.

W3C really needs to hire a PR person, because they have some major communication issues.

Maybe you're not the only person who the GMs listen to, Laguna, but you certainly seem to be the only one who they have a special ear for. The occasions I've spoken with Tommi or Jonni Gil have always been pleasant. Our lo

I know I never did anything, but this does have to do with me...in fact, it has to do with everyone in the game.
This is not just a thread about people killing noobs, etc... I see it as more of a thread about the causes of decay.
However, it especially does apply to me since Wild, Sam, Jason, etc... are all fedmates.
That...and I am quite bored, summer means I have lots of spare time on my hands.

My point before about the complaints was that although there may be complaints from people other than you, those people are obviously retarded if they complain about frequent wars on a world that, by design, has frequent wars and thus their complaints, although they should be noted and fixed should also be dealt with skepticism.
My problem is that the GM's are not fixing these complaints in the right manner in my opinion. Telling Wild that she cannot war any longer is a horrible idea. Not only would this make her leave, but it does n

I take back what I said about not being restricted....


"Sorry, your country can't declare a new war at the moment."

Yes, it was a C3. Yes, I tried more than one country. No, the C3 isn't at war already, recently abandoned, etc....


So, I'm told to stop - I stop, even though I wasn't doing anything at the moment, and it happens anyways?

What the hell...

I suppose I can still get attacked just fine, but since I can't even declare war on C3s I can't cover my borders.


I'm 90% ready to just move everything to FB since it seems I can still start wars there, but I don't know if there would be any point since it seems like even if I do what the GMs ask and indicate my willingness to comply they punish me anyways.

And WTF happened to my accumulated WP? The most I have in any of my countries is 27 months! I know Dragon Army *AT LEAST* should have the max amount.

Wow, next time, instead of taking me off at the kneecaps, since a little higher and just disembowel me, why don't you?
