Peace on White Giant (White Giant)

So please don't assume what my intentions are or why I do what I do. I have no need to 'defend' my actions... just my countries.

But actually you are right I suppose about the greed... However, it was only because the people of the empire of TNT had made it clear to me that this was what they wanted. I tried to change their sim-minds, but they would not have it. They wanted the sim-beaches and the awesome sim-weather that the island has. So Im sorry, it was because of the sim-greed. That's why I did it!

Serpent, then.

Wendy was right. Plus ca change ...

Lol Jo, you seem to love forum wars as much as TNT loves real war.

LOL Ambien. If you look at the history, or even just at this thread, you will notice that I don't start the 'forum wars', I only ever post in response. Pretty similar to the 'real' wars, really.

The one exception was the starting of this particular thread, which was a condition of the (now defunct) peace agreement, not of my making.

Hugs and respect

Jo

Fair enough.

I just grow tired of reading pointless forum bickering. What's getting accomplished here?

As one who appears to be trying to take the moral high ground, I figured you could also be the one to prevent forum-readers from having to listen to irrelevant accusations and complaints. This event ended weeks ago right?

Unfortunately, no it didn't. It could have. We all allowed the wars to expire and that could have been the end of it. But then 'Trinitrotoluene' decided there was something else that a member of WGC had just acquired that he wanted, namely the last country on the island. The one that used to be the secured Leader country of our friend and fedmate, Tobe Lerone, who left the game.

So he informed us that the peace agreement only stood until the end of the existing wars and, unless we gave it to him, we were all now at war again.

Actually, this has been going on for over a year. Again, not of our making ...

As far as forum bickering goes, it used to be the main reason for wars starting, and that was no bad thing. People take exception to something someone else has said, start throwing insults around, a grudge develops and a good healthy war was the best way to sort it out. Those who got their 'fun' that wa

I completely agree with your last paragraph.

"They" have been pushing for war level removal in order to finish the job(raiding). "They" sure are a dangerous, committed and capable bunch. Admirable at least on that level.

C'mon guys forum banter is fun as well isn't it? I mean I have not thrown insults at anybody, I'm sure WGC as many/most of the people that play this game a good guys/gals. The game isn't personal. As I said before, I did not gang up on anybody. I was just a victim of the greedy sim-citizens that live in the TNT empire!

Of course when you lose you don't think its AS fun as it would have been if you would have won. Besides a little bit of forum banter is good isn't it? I mean this is a game after all. Mr Ambien if you dont like the 'forum bickering' then there is an easy simple way to remedy that.

I'm sure eventually somebody will come along and take what I have, (Im no war-lord by any stretch, many are far better than I)and although it wont be AS much fun as it would have been if I won, the effort would still be fun. Its been said many times on this forum, if you don't want to war, then its

I can remember a few times, that if forum banter wasnt alive and well, then sh%t was about to hit the fan. Usually...hehehe

Goodtimes Goodtimes were 2007-8!

Well, if you guys start a war, just leave me be.

Resurrecting immotive threads that died more than a month ago isn't a good idea.

Having said that, in response to your post, Talisabeth, not everyone involved in this thread wanted to start a war. Some of us had no choice. Asking other players to "leave me be" doesn't always work, especially if you have something and they want it ...

Hugs and respect

Jo

And having said that.......

Considering we all signed up for a game that has many weapons to play with and a clear explanation of the consequences or war level 3 or higher, the response "leave me be" is somewhat irrational.

Also Talisabeth, there are ways to not engage in the war aspect of the game and or defend yourself.

And having said that ...

Some people got 'assigned' war level 3 when the GMs first implemented the feature, due to the fact that other players had attacked them in the past and they had been obliged to defend themselves. They didn't all choose to be at that war level, in the way that new players now have that choice.

Hugs and respect

Jo

It was posted that anyone could re-set to 0, Jo,
by the GM's at the time. Some took advantage, others didnt.

No one asked me.

I don't remember the option being offered, but I may have forgotten as I wouldn't have taken it anyway ...

Can anyone point to a record of the offer?

Hugs and respect

Jo

My memory is one or two players asked for it and it was granted (Laguna comes to mind) after which most players found out and asked the GM who agreed to reset anyone who emailed them for it. This was for a very limited time only.

1. New War Features in Simcountry

The features as described in this document are related to the introduction of the new war levels and are limited to war levels 1 to 4.
The features will become part of Simcountry by the end of September, possibly the first days of October.

Additional features and levels will be introduced in several stages in the following weeks.

2. Initial Setting of War Levels

All countries and empires will receive an initial war level assigned to them. The initial setting depends on their war experience and the war level assignments will be limited to war levels 1 to 3.

All countries or empires that have won one war will be assigned war level 1. Countries or empires with 3 war winnings on their records will have war level 2 and countries or empires that hav

So basically a reduction in war level wasn't an open offer, published in a place that everyone could see it, it was offered to those who asked for it, for a limited time?

Hugs and respect

Jo

no. there is a post where it was offered

Thanks Rob. Can you point to it? I can't see it in the game news that Keto posted above ...

Hugs and respect

Jo

What difference does it make, Jo? You were clueless, and this is just about the oldest news in the Galaxy. Asking, yet again, for others to hand everything to you on some silver platter. You are a pathetic joke, and everyone is starting to realize it, if they didn't, and should have, already.

Just as with what was happening on Golden Rainbow, just as with your "agreements" with psycho on White Giant, and so too, on these "poisoned" forums, you have been, are and probably always will be "Clueless Jo".

It was in general forum under " w3c game news oct 7th 2010"

if you want your war level removed, please mail us from the mail account used for your account registration.

we have already patched and will patch in the coming week or two, anyone who went to level 2 or 3 and does not want it.

Some people inherited war history. so just tell us why you want it removed and we will accommodate you.

We do not want anyone forced into war levels they don't want.
From now on, however, it is up to you do decide if you want to go up the war levels.



As you can see, it was offered to the whole of SC and not for the benefit of a chosen few, hope that clears it up
