I am fine with the rollback (by fine I mean pissed off that it's hurt my alliance but accepting the necessity)
However:
1. There needs to be more professionalism. When we donate all those credits to "support the game" we expect that money to be spent on game development, including professional security and so on, not just on "wages" or upkeep. And yes Mensa have invested a great deal but by "we" I mean all players.
2. The message in OP was poorly thought out to the point of being rude. "try better second time round" or whatever sounded like it was supporting the VE side of the war. I'm sure this wasn't the intention but it sounded like he was giving them a second chance. The mention about credits now being available was incredibly poor and made me absolutely certain I'll not be buying credits ever again.
3. People who are saying Mensa should leave if we don't like it obviously don't understand how games like this work. I'd like to see P&W with a hundred thousand active players and a dedicated admin team with an office. Telling a group that is actively bringing money and activity to the game to !@#$ off is so counterproductive and good customer service isn't a "take it or leave it" situation, it involves working proactively with all of your customers.
In any case I hope Sheepy will discuss this further with the Mensa leaership
discuss it with Mensa leadership? your one alliance in a line of alliances, this did not effect just one alliance or nation, it effected them all. not one alliance or nation in the game was spared the loss of time, money, growth.
this is not the first or will be the last start up game with things like this happaning, Cybernations, Trukz, Civiny, Eve all of them had hacking issues when they first started out.

Can I have a refund on my credits instead? When I bought them things were entirely different and the goalposts haven't just been moved slightly, they've been completely relocated.
This has been very poorly managed. You're supposed to be running a professional business but you can't access the internet because you're on a boat. You're in 21st century America FFS.
Every major decision or change seems to screw Mensa over whether intentionally or not. First many of our opponents were getting masses of exploit money which was by no means resolved to the communities satisfaction. Then the spy system was nerfed because we were doing too well with it. Now when we're winning what is probably the biggest war in the games history, you've decided to undo a large, key proportion of it. If you want to earn $1000 less per month, you're going the right way about it.
I don't have time right now to watch for when the game comes back online and try to redo everything that had been achieved at great effort, even if it was possible, which it isn't because our opponents now know our every move. It will probably go live in the wrong timezone for me too.
It's sad that others want to win like this
This is how games die. Mensa have made a big contribution to growing this game, especially the active community. We're now being taken for granted and are having a very real discussion about whether it's worth continuing (cue cheers from opposing inferior alliances).
This isn't just about Mensa though. It's a poor way to run a game all around and I'm surprised at the attitude of some thinking that there are positives in this no matter what side they are on.
So yeah, refund please. Rant over.
Wow your right it's not about Mensa

Not really. It is entirely justifiable that the changes be restored and a fix implemented to stop future hacks. I have absolutely no issue with that, quite the opposite.
It is the rollback that is in question so it is a matter of in game stuff. Both the restoration of VE and the security fix could be done without a rollback.
With out knowing 100% of all what was done, what Sheepy did was a correct move. what was done to VE may have only been what was seen, it what malicous programming that could have been added that is not seen. which is why the roll back was a correct move. if they were able to manipulate members and and the bank in one alliance, what is not saying they have made other changes that were not yet cought.
anyone can armchair quarter back, but if you have never been in Sheepy's position as a game developer, you may have no clue what even changing one period or removing a comma can do to even the most basic programming.

To be quite fair, I don't think US planning policy sees that far in advance or could see what would happen next. I mean, the Soviet Union collapsing still provided a lot of unknowns.
A lot of great conspiracy theories take the right information but always forget the context of the information.
Also, don't forget that hindsight is 20/20.
come on man, he is 19 and supports Rand Paul. why argue further?

Is he really comparing ISIS to Guardian?
YES , yes he is Guardian you pixel killing meanies.
-
yes yes yes The US is the cause of all the worlds evils and problems, yawn yawn.. you do understand this is a game and no matter what alliance your in, you are expected to defend your alliance be it a defensive OR offensive war? or did you not grasp that concept from the whole point of being in an alliance?
