[Game Development Thread - July]

I'm completely against a reserve system because it undermines the reward for spending sleepless nights for those coordinating the spy fronts.

 

However if you're doing a reserve, then a cap at like 50% of their max is reasonable,  it allows them to get over the initial hurdle but isn't giving them a free pass

 

Others above seem.to be on the same page

 

 

Edit:

Also can we fix the damn issue with how military rebuys are delayed several minutes past the dc itself? They should be the exact same second and if that means we have a dc lasting 1 min then so be it. It can be devastating if you're trying a double buy but you're a sitting duck

Also, I'll note that spy vs military counts to the attackers stats, but not the defenders stats.

Sheepy said he fixed this when I asked him a couple years back but the change never came through.

Just admit you guys are interested and want to test the nubs a little, if you're curious about big D there's no shame in that. Its 2021 after all, no need to hide in the closet.

But yeah come on guys, you should be able to at least win the spy war 🤨

What makes you think declaring wars that you will once again lose, make people stop spying you? It's funny because oblivion doesn't even really spy you

The rising tension begin to rise between the huge alliance of aurora, and the micro alliance The Lunar Society.
It had all started while 2 - 3 simple raids, then a failed missile sabotage, TLS leader "The United Provinces of Luna" has stated that "this was not the members acting on their own, rather this is most likely a attack sent by aurora." we shall keep you up to dated while this goes on.

Aside from softly sobbing into my pillow for the next few months, I thought I'd be able to move on from this breakup soon enough. However, I almost overlooked the most important factor at play here - CAT ASMR

This name that is unanimously approved by everyone in our sphere, definitely including Valk, must be maintained. As such, consider this an open invitation to any C-named alliance out there to enter Rose's warm embrace, an offer that I totally have the authority to put out there.

Carthago, @Daveth @Krampus, you're perfect just the way you are. ❤️ TCW has potential for sure, just drop "the," determiners are for losers anyways. Same to The Company, if you're feeling bold!

If your alliance name doesn't meet the C criteria at all, fear not! We can make it work. For example, Alpha? Why not Charlie? Grumpy could easily become Cranky (I mean, you already are). And Knights Templar? Easy - Christ Almighty!

Just give it some thought. Please help us save CAT ASMR. 🙏 Also, sorry Rohirrim, I don't think RAT ASMR has the same ring to it. But I could possibly be convinced.

I'm against CAT ASMR, it's awkward af hanging with friends and I get a ping from that server lol

Oh, I guess you didn't realize that there is a timer between policy changes. That's okay 😜 

False. There are only 200 people on at any given time. Considering the people I suspected were also on both times and were within my range was a giveaway. 

*200 at a maximum

You're in spy range of a massive portion of pnw tbf, and unless you have a sheet that tracked everyone online both times, you're stuck in confirmation bias by seeing some of them online

 

I also wouldn't say 200 maximum, as there is currently 230 on

I am aware what confirmation bias is. But you seem very very adamant in defending something that, supposedly, has nothing to do with you. Why is that?

In case you didn't know, you can't just switch war policy. They'd hardly switch from arcane to covert for one person. Besides, then it'd be too easy to tell who did it.

Tbh, I was asking Pasky to see if he'd slip up and say who actually did it. Worth a shot lol 

Im going to sleep. Maybe. Probably not.

Byee!

Oh you don't know how to switch war policy? Let me explain, you simply click on edit, and you can change it there 😀

There'd HUNDREDS of people on covert, you wouldn't be able to sift through and say it's that person just because they're on covert, without any evidence. And yes, basically everyone with half a brain who wanted to spy you off of 60, with being undetected would swap to covert. 

[Spy Op, eh? [meme]]

Oh also, pasky has spy sat which means it's 100% not pasky, kill counts dont add up, you really gotta get better at pointing the finger fam.

 

You should maybe look up what confirmation bias is, just because you saw some ASM online during the spy ops, doesn't mean they're guilty. If ASM wanted your spies wiped they would have used 1 of the 5 spy sats they have, and if they wanted to keep it out of the gov...they would have used covert.

[Spy Op, eh? [meme]]

I did that. No one within range who had the intel project was online at the time and could spy me that had covert. So I concluded they must've done it without. Which, according to my calculations, had an overall ~70% chance of success so it isn't that far fetched.

Also why are you getting so worked up about this?

Anyone with 60 spies has the same chance, I guarantee there was at least 50 people outside of ASM online with IA. It wasn't ASM, they know better to swap to covert for spying.

[Spy Op, eh? [meme]]

80% ASM when there's probably 200 other people online lol.

You accused pasky, yet they're on arcane. Why would someone spy you while trying to be sneaky and sit on arcane? Based on that accusation I can say anything you say without legit evidence can't really be taken as valid.

Your first task should be looking at who's on covert and go from there. Which quite literally, there is ZERO covert from ASM. Try again
