    Exploiting a Naval glitch doesn't make you a better player

    If this war was a lot closer you wouldn't be making this argument. I do not want to see this problem come up again in the future.

    Dryad's alliance has been busy getting crushed by e$/t$ for the past few months. They finally agreed to a ceasefire, then one of their raiders started it again a while back. So Dryad does have reason to care about the subject.

    Haven't you people heard? There are no facts, only interpretations.

    Didn't we have an epistemology argument a long time back? I'd argue it's more dishonest and hostile to claim you own the facts, although definitely, there are things I believe to be true and not in your favor.

    Personally, given my experience, I am way too familiar with spin, narrative control, and PR bombing as a way of manipulating situations to your advantage. It deserves some admiration, but also some contempt.

    We can't actually prove you did it on purpose, and in my opinion, it's just as likely that it's an accident. Right now, my compendium tracks 3 t$ e$ having been advantaged by the glitch, one Typhon accused of having been advantaged by the glitch, one Empyrea member having been advantaged by the glitch, and two GOONS members who have been advantaged by the glitch, one involving an alliance on their own sphere and involving a war that was quickly peaced out.

     

    The best response for all involved right now would be for Alex to announce the glitch, as well as that he's tracking the glitch, and that further incidents would be considered intentional and be punished by a nation strike. This should be reiterated on the naval attack page, or alternately, that naval attacks involve a pop-up that issues the glitch warning about the update.

    The odd thing I would put, however, is that House Stark and so on have been encouraging naval-intensive warfare on nations that have been deprived of their infra, which would create an increased incidence of the glitch. I'd also point out that this glitch was reported a few updates ago, yet we had further incidents of this by t$/e$. It could be just the inability for information to trickle down to alliance members, but it would have been better if t$/e$ had avoided glitching or used "safe" wars involving members of their own coalition testing features.

    Was informed by TCW I missed a war, vetted it myself,

    In the interests of full disclosure and fair play, I'm asking that we list all wars that have been affected by naval glitching here. These nations may or may not have self-reported.

     

    Incidents involving this nation:

    Now we all know politics can get heated in this game, but one thing I hope we all agree on is exploiting glitches for ones benefit is poor form and its just makes you look like a pleb. 

    Of course not every Syndicate/Enterprise member has been doing it, but its seems to be far more common with t$/e$ than any other alliance, these are just 2 examples from my gov members but we have many more.. (Yes I am aware that some instances could be accidental but its obvious that some people are exploiting this)

    Instead of suggesting nerfs to baseball why not focus on something that seems to be a chronic problem and is starting to be exploited by bad-actors to affect the outcome of wars? @Alex

    Could you please have you or one of your members put up a full documentation of t$-e$ naval glitching into the "bug reports" section?


    We don't have an idea of the extent of glitch incidence. The apparent incidence rate is with this coming out of two t$-e$ nations so far. This is worth investigation, but does not indicate foul play. If it's significantly more extensive it will require a more critical investigation.

    Imagine- if roq hadn't backstabbed tS I'd be forced to argue for his side now. 

    The wording is telling, isn't it? Forced. Like, it'd be against your nature to argue for your former treaty partner. Why have a treaty in the first place, then?

    Nerf Baseball Earnings

    Baseball with its sunk costs and repetitive cow-clicker mechanics is a means of player retention. I can support limiting baseball to a certain "sane" number of games per day, then decreasing baseball earnings as populations get baseball fatigue. But killing baseball altogether is a bad idea.

    I'm probably the only one who thought this, but when I saw the 'RoH' I immediately imagined Scooby Doo saying "RUH ROH".

    Have fun breaking more toys, I am kind of curious if the total damages will eventually reach over 2 trillion.

     

    2 trililon? How about 2.5 trillion? You know it's the REAL Knightfall when damages exceed 2x "Knightfall".

    Will t$ protect their protectorate?

    No, it was not. See: Sphinx quote.

    He said, as he tightly squeezed Roquentins hand.

    I for one am still incredibly close to all my old allies and friends, who did not hold knightfall against me in any way whatsoever! 

    It wouldn't be pragmatic to do so, would it?
