Popular Post Ripper Posted June 6, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) When a banker of an alliance decides to send cash or resources to an entity, he has to choose whether this entity is a Nation or Alliance, since there is the probability that a nation and an alliance share the same name. The problem is that, since the default choice is "Nation", an alliance may send by mistake the funds to a different recipient than the intended one. For example, I came across many such occasions while I was searching for targets to raid in TKR: there are nations called New Pacific Order, Roz Wei, Black Knights and Terminus Est, which are all popular alliances. I am sure that this is pure coincidence, since TKR, voted the Most Honorable Alliance in the 2015 and 2016 P&W Awards, would never use such a trick to get money from other alliances, especially from those with which it has been at war. However, there are some individuals that, unfortunately, change their nation's name to exploit this mechanic and get free money based on a little mistake that someone can make every now and then. Of course, someone will say that this is the banker's fault for not being careful and this is partly true. However, I don't think that the game should punish someone for such a small mistake. There are 3 things that can be done: -) Don't allow nations to get the name of alliances (and vice versa). -) Don't allow nations to get the name of alliances and keep the default selection to "Nation". -) Change the default selection to "Alliance", since the occasions of entire alliances getting their name just from a nation are not that frequent. I guess this is the simplest way to solve the problem. Edited June 6, 2017 by Ripper 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel James Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Oh, so you have to enter the name manually. So that's why I saw so many "Black Knights" and "The Knights Radiant" during the war... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel James Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Don't know what you mean guv, this "TKR" individual that you're talking about is just a humble nation in the Black Knights. https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=35846 Nothing nefarious, I assure you. I am perfectly aware that there was at least one nation in BK named 'The Knights Radiant', just as I was perfectly aware that there was at least one non-BK nation named 'Black Knights' during the war. It's just that after I saw the screenshot I understood why that was possibly done. I did not mean to imply that TKR were the only ones who did this, if that is was you meant. Right back to the topic. About three seconds to make sure that you've picked the correct option isn't too much to ask. I'd hope that people with bank access would be checking for these things. Lastly, blaming TKR for something that I've seen occur outside of TKR is a bit much. Of course, you could have not known about the last fact, so meh.

Vladamir Putin Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Can't you just make it so that when you're sending more than X amount of money to a non-alliance-member, something pops up that says: ARE YOU SURE BRO? Then just make that X amount in the account options. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeeeet Ronny D Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Someone actually did this? Good for them! I was talking about doing it during the war to see if we could snipe some alliances moving their alliance banks around. If you aint cheating you aint trying!

This is not cheating, since it's not against the rules. It's a valid tactic. The issue is whether we want this tactic to be present or not in the current gameplay.

Micchan Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 If you make a mistake and you send money to one of the TKR nations with alliance names they will send you back the money... but in return they will require a drawing made by you, the same thing happens with mistakes in the market, our art collection gets bigger and bigger every day *there are high chances that the drawing requires clouds on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
