No, they are defensive of a valuable player who was already exposed and "punished" by Alex. CoA has the right to defend their members from other players. Not from Alex. So, if you want EM punished more, tell Alex and leave CoA alone. That's my two cents. 1 1 Quote To whom it may concern, I do not represent The Immortals unless explicitly stated (ergo, never.)<--- I hardly use the forums anymore, add me on discord.

Sweeeeet Ronny D Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 They are protecting a member, now former member, if you come after one of my members I would publicly back them up too.

Nobody, as far as I can tell, has suggested they do not have the right to defend whomever they please. We have suggested that perhaps individuals caught breaking game rules, who escape with laughably little punishment, ought not be defended by alliances of good standing. A radical concept, I know. Besides, the whole muh sovereignty thing runs both ways. Just as they have the right to defend EM, we have the right to be critical of it and form our opinion of them based on it. And those in range of EM have the same right, as sovereign nations, to attack him.

We have suggested that they ought not to, and that individuals caught breaking game rules should perhaps not be kept as members by alliances of good standing. A radical concept, I know.

And those in range of EM have the same right, as sovereign nations, to attack him. Yes you can have an opinion. Attacking the alliance is still attacking an alliance, and CoA should consider it a Declaration of War. And if that's so, then go right ahead. And EM was already tried. Alex decided not to punish him. It is not the player base's right to dictate how the rules are enforced.

It is not the player base's right to dictate how the rules are enforced. True, we cannot dictate how Alex enforces his game rules. Though we might suggest that he start actually doing so if he cares about the health of the game. What is our right, however, is to enforce the norms of the community. The player base can take action for whatever reason it wants, including punishing individuals they feel have wronged the game - or defending them. My point is that talk of rights is largely pointless. As long as it is within the game rules, anybody has the right to do anything they want to anybody else - in-game, anyway. Most of the talk, outside the mod thread, has been political in nature - what other players should do, and how everyone else should react to their lack of doing it.

Unless perhaps you don't think that money should exist, I'm struggling to understand where your anger towards him rather than Nokia or George comes from, because he didn't profit from the transaction ingame. What unfair benefit are you arguing he received? NR and george both got their nations reset or did it them self.

You don't need to have a ingame or irl gain to be guilty, you just need to part-take/be a middle-man/know about it without reporting it to Admin. As it says on the rules page before the rules: The rules for game-play are relatively simple and easy to follow. Be smart, use common sense, and you won't have any issues.
