Leftbehind

Where did I defend Pooball or NR? I could have sworn my issue is with the idea that this rolling actually does anything and how people are high fiving each other as if they just won the lotto max or pretending that they just done the noblest of deeds. You may have noticed that I said the game should be rolled back to before the exploit since to me it would be the only way to actually bring the game back to fairness. We still have billions worth of resources all across the game that no one knew was dirty. It will take weeks if not months to wipe them out. Also the logic that the war costs will outweighs what was magically created is completely ridiculous since while some of the players that are warring and burning you have other growing. It does not fix the issue.

There is a fine line that gets crossed when the player base becomes the moderators. In another game that many of us played we went through a Nazi purge where if players were accused than they would get destroyed until they quit the game. In some cases we pushed out the nazis and in other cases we pushed out completely innocent players. I agree that there should be a team effort to moderate the game between us and staff but we cannot be the only ones doing it. So it's a catch 22. Like I said before the wars are to make ourselves feel better but do not actually change anything. Cheating will always happen and thinking that we are setting a precedent by attacking players who likely had nothing to do with it doesn't really make people think twice about it. Its the actual moderators reaction or lack of reaction that makes people wonder if it will be worth it.

What did you do? Attack an alliance and knock down some infra. O, thank you very much my whale in shining armor. Our heroes. Truth is as much as I do applaud your wars it's not really doing anything. Its self gratification. The players should never be left to self moderate the game. Especially, in cases of cheating. With saying that Alex is in one terrible position since he can never make everyone happy. We say ban the offenders which has been done. We say reset all of NR's nations that grew on dirty money, somewhat done. Those things does little to actually wipe the game of the issues caused by this exploit. Every last one of us has been effected by this, directly or indirectly, that is why we should suck it up and accept a reset. Problem with our moderation is that they bend over way too much and too many of us go crying to Alex as soon as there is something they don't like. Look at any suggestions made on these forums and you will see what I mean. By the way that's a general statement and not about this event in particular.

What a joke....

I don't think anyone here believes Akuryo is a saint or what he done wasn't shady but with everyone trying to knit pick what he done is talking away from the real issue. Which is "did Pooball, NR by extension, use a bug to exploit the game?" And what needs to be done.

That's protein and you are welcome. Just remember the Soup is hot!

Good luck with your mirco. Its alot harder trying to build a decent alliance than people will ever give you credit for.

Pretend you wouldn't lick the bowl clean because that is one hot soup.

Like the SOUP this show is too hot!

It's because they think that they are funny and original.

I feel like you are confusing rivalries and villains. Being someone's rival does not make the other a villain.

Can't believe you let your former protectorate have protectorates.

When the Soup is this HOT, problems just melt away.

This was for him.

There is no endgame, no finish line, so there is no point to the game at all. The truth is war is the failure of diplomacy which is an important aspect to the game. Your nation means nothing at all. I've been beating around nationsims for a long time and I can tell you that the mechanics of the game itself is only a small part of the whole experience. We burn some pixels once in awhile because the true winner in the game tells us too. Players that actually impact the community and force Politics. Things like couping alliances, stealing banks, raiding, spying and so on are all vital parts of the game. The size of your pixels aren't that important. So why don't you start playing the actual game and see how you like it.

Finally! A boy band that I can get behind.

Darn it! The Soup is just too hot!

Haha come on, I'm just having some fun with you. You know the Soup loves you.

How about them aeroplanes?

May the bay leaf be with you, brother.

You do realize that there is no end goal. No finish line in this game. An individual's success isn't judged by the infrastructure or land they have but by their contribution to the greater game. A player can be less than 5 cities and be more impactful than the mightiest whale. This is why Roq, Leo, Partisan and others are viewed as successful. By simply putting your own personal growth ahead of the game itself proves you and people like minded do not understand the game but simply exist as tools. It is that poor playing style that creates political stagnation and eventually, death.

Jesus, you Pantheon guys give RH way too much credit.

Let's hope not.

I'd hit it again.
